Chapter 16 Chapter 15 Xu Jun as a Concubine

After the carriage left, the heavy rain turned into drizzle powder, and Longying said to Eunuch Rong who was waiting outside the imperial study room: "Eunuch, please find a way to find the deputy commander, and tell him about the money raising, and finally it has been settled." Eunuch Rong said: "It's a villain's honor to be able to serve Master Ying." Longying looked at him in astonishment. Eunuch Rong lowered his voice and said: "Master Ying killed that thief bald, very happy. Thief bald has always been rampant in the palace, and dozens of us servants were killed and injured by him. Gong'e, who was raped to death by him, even It's hard to count, knowing that Master Ying showed his power last night and cut off the bald head of the bandit, we all felt relieved, only we didn't light firecrackers to celebrate like the common people outside the palace."

Long Ying thought to himself that this happened, and it would be impossible for him not to become a celebrity.Patted Eunuch Rong on the shoulder and entered the royal study. Renya was standing by the side grinding ink, and when she saw Longying coming, she was overjoyed and knelt down to salute, and then begged: "The Holy Majesty will come at any time, Renya dare not sit and grind ink!" Long Ying sat down and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for being late, because I want to make money and come back to support my Qiao Renya, so that she will have enough food and clothing, so that she will have no worries for the rest of her life."

Renya's expression darkened, and he said sadly: "Master Ying, don't joke, please? Renya's fate is poor, and he has no good fortune." While writing quickly, Longying said in amazement: "How could Renya have such an idea, as long as the Holy One nods." Ren Ya said: "The Holy Majesty will never promise you." Longying smiled and said, "Why does Renya think so?" Renya hesitated to speak. Long Ying patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry about it, I won't tell anyone." Renya glanced at him affectionately and resentfully, and said softly: "Sometimes the Holy Majesty looks at Renya very strangely, which makes Renya's heart jump, and then she talks to herself, what will never let you leave that place again?" Kind of puzzling words."

Long Ying thought to himself that Wu Zhao was really unusual in his treatment of people, and he would rather offend Xue Huaiyi than send her out.Thinking of a rumor about Wu Zhao, I immediately shuddered.However, if Wu Zhao really treats people nicely, it would be logical to promise them to him. He smiled and said: "The real situation is often unexpected. After the holy car arrives, he will see it clearly. The most important thing is whether people are willing to follow me or not?" Renya showed her girlish demeanor, cast a reproachful glance at him, and said disobediently, "Master Ying! Do you still have to ask?"

Longying was overjoyed and asked, "Does Renya know how to sing?" Renya nodded shyly, still unable to overcome her worry, and said softly: "Renya has also been trained in rhythmic dance skills." Long Ying's heart was full of enthusiasm, and his mind was moving. If there was such a lovely person who performed songs and dances at home just for him, what more could he ask for.I really want to take her and fly away and never come back. Renya suddenly said in a gnat-like voice: "Eunuch Rong issued an order, if Master Ying wants Renya to sleep with you, Renya must not refuse."

Long Ying's heart fluttered, and he asked, "Will Renya refuse?" Renya's jade cheeks burned early, she stepped on her feet and said: "Renya is reminding Master Ying!" After saying that, he was so ashamed that he didn't know where to hide. The shy beauty was so kind, Long Ying almost couldn't believe his ears. "Dang! Dang! Dang!" Renya "has a ghost in her heart", she was frightened out of her wits, and fell to her knees on the ground, her delicate body trembling. The middle door was wide open, and Wu Zhao came out from behind the screen with the sound of "The Holy One is here". Without glancing at the two of them, he walked straight to the dragon table and sat down. Four eunuchs leaned over and held up two baskets woven with phoenix patterns. The dossier, the other one was actually empty, with a footwork that was almost dancing, until the baskets were placed on the left and right ends of the dragon table, then bowed and retreated, kneeling in three steps, knocking on the ground in nine steps, until disappearing outside the screen, The door closes.

Wu Zhao pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Ren Ya is flat, come to me and let me see you." Renya trembled again in fright, tried to stand up, staggered, Longying was ready to help her before she fell down. Renya bowed her head and reached nine paces in front of the Dragon Table. Wu Zhao said softly, "Raise your head." Renya managed to raise her head, met Wu Zhao's eyes, immediately fell to her knees in fright, and said in a trembling voice, "Damn it, servant girl!" Wu Zhao said displeased: "From now on, the word 'death' is not allowed in my premise."

Renya's face turned pale with fright. Wu Zhao finally cast her eyes on Long Ying, who was more than ten feet away from her, and said with a smile: "I have read the entry into the Tao recorded by Mr. yesterday five times for the first time. Xie Tiaoguo is an incomparable martial arts genius and great thinker, which makes me feel very grateful." Benefits, it can also be seen that Mr. did his best to do things with all his heart, and he did not miss a single word." Long Ying screamed loudly, and seemed to be praising him, but in fact, it meant that if there were any mistakes in the future, she would never hide them from her eyes, and let him do it for himself.Smiling, he said, "French is precise and accurate, and one word cannot be changed. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Wu Zhao was obviously in a good mood, and he said happily, "How can I be worried if you have a gentleman working for me? The light in your eyes is more restrained than yesterday's. Congratulations." Then he cast his eyes on Renya, and said: "Renya knows that your Lord Ying killed Xue Huaiyi in the imperial city under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people. This incident caused a sensation in the capital of God, and the sound of firecrackers was heard everywhere in the city. It makes me so happy.” Ren Ya let out a soft cry. Wu Zhao continued: "From now on, Renya, you are no longer my personal maid, but Mr. Long's concubine. Eunuch Rong is waiting for you in the middle courtyard. Choose two sisters who are most compatible with you from among my personal maidservants, and they will be my dowry to you. Other father-in-laws have their own arrangements."

"Thank you Lord Ron!" After Renya left happily, Wu Zhao calmly said: "Until the day my husband leaves the capital, Renya will live in the Gantang Courtyard inside the Tongxian Gate of Shangyang Palace. There is a natural hot spring in the courtyard. If I have to protect Renya, sir will have nothing to do." Worry about the future. As for the Liqi Pavilion in Shenchi, it can be retained or canceled depending on the wishes of the husband." Longying hurriedly thanked him.On the surface, Wu Zhao treats him extremely favorably and meticulously.In fact, he became another kind of prisoner and was tied up here.If he wanted to sneak away, only Renya had already given him a headache, let alone two more delicate and beautiful girls.Wu Zhao was absolutely perfect, trapping him without bloodshed.

Time passed bit by bit. The two of them didn't speak any more, they were immersed in their work, one was the female devil emperor and the other was the evil emperor, it was indeed bizarre. After an unknown amount of time, Wu Zhao suddenly said, "Here is a memorial, which makes me very embarrassed. Can you share my worries, sir?" Long Ying continued to write, nodded and said: "It is my honor to be able to share the worries of the Holy One." I thought to myself, facing her day and night like this, under the subtle influence, I really don't know what I will become in the end. Wu Zhao said: "This is the memorial to the descendants of Li Junxian, the Duke of Wulian County, who was appointed by Emperor Taizong. It is a sign of prosperity for the heroine. At that time, there were also rumors that "after Tang III, the heroine King Wu will rule the world", which made Taizong sleepless. What he suspected most was Li Junxian, the general of Zuo Wuwei, whose nickname is also the heroine. The surnamed "Five Niangzi" thought to herself that "the heroine Wu Wang Dai has the world" was fulfilled in this person. She was exempted from military power and executed on the pretext that he was in contact with demons. Now the descendants of Li Junxian hope that I will be If he is rehabilitated, what should I do?" Long Ying's whole head was numb, if this was the case, and the facts were right in front of him, otherwise why would there be a grievance memorial, then Wu Zhao is the emperor whom the destiny belongs to, how can a group of mortals beat her.With a straight heart, he said: "Of course the Holy Majesty must vindicate this case." Wu Zhao said with great interest: "I would like to hear the details!" For a long time, not to mention Long Ying, Du Ao and others have never seriously thought about the resistance Wu Zhao faced from listening to the government behind the curtain, taking charge of the government in person, and ascending the throne. Obstacles, including his own son, are all removed.Its ferocity and viciousness are unprecedented. In fact, the forces opposing her are also "unprecedented in history." Today, Long Ying is at the core of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has been in contact with Wu Zhao many times, and has begun to feel the meaning behind Wu Zhao's achievements. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has always been a society where men are superior to women. By the time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exclusively respected Confucianism, it was even more moralized. Women were only men's vassals.By the time of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Confucian concept of family family and one surname was further consolidated and deepened. The world can only be ruled by those with the royal blood surnamed Li, and others have no legal status.With Li Shimin's brilliance and martial arts, he heard that there will be a heroine to replace Tang, and he did not hesitate to kill the suspicious target, taking everything for granted, because the heroine herself is already a big treasonous thing. Momen has always opposed Confucianism and Confucianism, and the Yingui sect headed by women is superior to men, and the leaders of the past dynasties have always been women.Wu Zhao was born in the Yingui faction and stole Li Tang's throne as the emperor, which represented the earth-shattering and complete victory of the Momen in the hundreds of years of struggle.It was not only Li Tang's clan and its supporters who were defeated, but also the deep-rooted Confucian concept that men are superior to women. Although Li Xian and Li Dan are Wu Zhao's own flesh and blood, they are the last two strongholds of the Li Tang clan that have not yet fallen. All struggles, the struggle between "tradition" and "innovation" revolve around these two last Fort carried out.And Wu Zhao is gaining the upper hand. If Wu Chengsi hadn't been so disappointing, I'm afraid Li Xian and Li Dan would have died without a place to bury them. These thoughts flashed through Long Ying's mind at a high speed, and said: "Xiaomin can't think of any major reasons, but only feels that if this case is vindicated, people will know that Li Shimin is not so wise and powerful, and will kill innocent people indiscriminately. Secondly Is it possible to remind those who dare to oppose the Holy One again, the Holy One is the God who has inherited the destiny of heaven, and it will be futile to oppose the Holy One in the end. Ha! But since this is the case, the Holy One does not need to deal with them severely, it is better to show them grace and obey them with virtue. Everyone is harmonious, and the final result will not change, because the destiny cannot be changed." Wu Zhao showed a thoughtful expression. There is a subtle difference between Wu Zhao in imagination and reality.In Long Ying's imagination, Wu Zhao was a domineering tyrant who refused to listen and killed people at every turn.But Wu Zhao in front of her is a wise gentleman who has a long-term vision. She sets a goal first, and she will do anything that is conducive to the goal, and she will eradicate everything that is not conducive to the goal.So in the past Xue Huaiyi was beneficial to her, but she could let her indulge, just like himself today, he can even sit on an equal footing with her.But one day his dragon eagle will become an obstacle, and he will die like Xue Huaiyi.This understanding is very important. In fact, since he was captured, the struggle between him and Wu Zhao started immediately, and they grasped each other's strengths and weaknesses.Xue Huaiyi ended up like this because he misjudged her. After Wu Zhao approved a few sentences on the memorial, he put the memorial into the basket on the left, and said to him, "Mr. Long, let me have lunch with me!" It was an invitation no one dared to refuse. Long Ying said: "The little man is about to leave the palace but there is one thing on his mind, the Holy One kindly accepts it." Wu Zhao seemed to have guessed that he would refuse, and said nonchalantly, "May I know?" If it were someone else, as long as you answer "no", you will immediately bring about the catastrophe of killing your family and exterminating your family. Long Ying said: "Xiaomin must give half of the bet he won last night to Xiaomin's guarantor, Fairy Duanmu." Wu Zhao showed an inscrutable smile, and said calmly: "Duanmuling's master, concubine Xuan, every word, every action, all coincides with the purpose of the Cihang Sword Code, so although one person has one sword, its power is better than a thousand swords. Thousands of troops, if she hadn't been running around to mediate, how could Li Shimin have opened the Great Tang Dynasty? Duanmu Ling was sent into the rivers and lakes, and his strength was by no means inferior to that of Shi Feixuan back then. I am afraid it would be even worse. No matter what I say now , Mister should not be listening, she was willing to be your guarantor last night, she has a deep meaning, it is not as simple as righteous assistance, and Mister will understand these words soon." Long Ying said in amazement: "Xiaomin really didn't think deeply about this, does the Holy One think that I should see her? Or is it just a matter of someone sending me gold?" Satisfied with his reaction, Wu Zhao said, "Mr. and she must see each other. This is the beginning of this matter. This is predestined. Neither you nor she can escape." Then he asked casually: "Xue Huaiyi's body has hidden marks of being hit by a hard object, sir, can you tell me what's going on?" Longying was heartbroken, and replied: "The fat father-in-law sent someone to Du Fuwei's sleeve, and asked Xiaomin to hide in the sleeve. This soldier Xiaomin has asked the princess to return it to the father-in-law. The fat father-in-law is really good to me. It flatters me a little bit.” Wu Zhao shot a complicated look in his eyes, and said with emotion: "Perhaps Mr. has touched a certain emotion in his heart, and Mr. can trust him at ease. In the palace, he is the only person I can talk about, but in the past two years, there are very few people. Talk. Tell Eunuch, I will never forget what he has done for me. " Long Ying was so frightened that she knew that she was so frank to show that she saw through the real relationship between herself and the fat father-in-law, but she would never touch the fat father-in-law until she killed herself one day, otherwise there would be no room for negotiation between Wu Zhao and him, Long Ying. Wu Zhao finished the last memorial, the basket on the right changed from full to empty, stood up happily, and said, "Over the years, there have been many people serving me in the study, but the only one who works with me is Mr. Longying hurriedly stood up and bowed to see him off. Wu Zhao walked up to Longying and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have opened the file for review by myself. In the past, there were internal priests who did it for me, but I don't want them to affect my husband's concentration, so I forbid them to come to the imperial study. It's absolutely fine for Ya to accompany you in the study, I still like to see her." Long Ying said respectfully: "Thank you Lord Long En." Wu Zhao was silent for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally left. ※※※ Long Ying finished today's work at the fastest speed, and when he left the imperial study, Ling Yu waited for a full hour and a half, and the two talked while walking.At this time, the rain had stopped early, but the sky was still covered with clouds and there was no sunlight. Long Ying took out two ingots of gold from his bosom, stuffed them into his hands, and said: "This is the cost of going to Fanghua Pavilion, and the rest can be used by brothers to buy a set of bright clothes and go to the brothel to show their style." Ling Yu said in an uproar, "My mother! It turned out to be a gold ingot, enough to go ten times." Long Ying thought tonight that of course he will accompany Renya, and tomorrow will be Princess Taiping, so he said: "I will go to Fanghua Pavilion later in the day and tell everyone to get ready. If there are any brothers who don't want to go looking for flowers and ask Liu, let him take care of it." Ling Yu smiled and said: "The young general has never met a man who doesn't want to be a brothel, except for those poor people who read bad books. Don't worry, Master Ying, no one will not accompany you. Master Ying's name is louder than anyone else now. Can the young general be Book a room in the name of Master Ying, maybe you can book the best courtyard-style room." Longying said: "No problem, now I have to go into the city for a while, you can pretend to be an escort for me, and you take the opportunity to escape when I go to meet people." Ling Yu rejoiced and said: "Master Ying is thoughtful, the commander-in-chief has already given orders, when Lord Ying wants us, and when we will be escort of Lord Ying, everyone is waiting for orders, and we will arrive as soon as we are called." He said again: "Master Ying showed his might last night, and everyone's topic this morning is inseparable from the battle last night. Where is Lord Ying going in the city?" Long Ying said: "I want to go to the old man's mansion, you guys send me to the gate, and then we will split up the work." Ling Yu ran to prepare everything. Long Ying is familiar with the door and the road, walking through the courtyard leisurely towards the main gate building.Now that the family is elegant, he has long since lost the feeling of being a prostitute outside. Today, he went to the brothel. On the one hand, he really wanted to see the premier brothel in Luoyang, and the most important thing was to have fun with his brothers.He also doesn't think it's inappropriate to be promiscuous, because he grew up in a sect that deviates from the orthodoxy and disregards morality and etiquette, and the difference between him and the other seniors lies in his pure and flawless Taoist heart. What will it be like to meet Duanmuling, a Meisai celestial being?
