Chapter 42 Chapter 42: Searching for Beautiful Boys

In the Jin Dynasty, four strategic envoys were set up in each county to deal with thieves and injuries; only Luoyang, because it was the capital, had six lieutenants.Among the six captains in Luonan, there is a man named Zhang Yong, who is only eighteen years old.A small official is equivalent to today's trainee policeman.One day, the trainee policeman was stopped by an old woman when he was wandering in the street because he was not on duty. "Little brother, where are you going?" "I'm not going anywhere. I'm just wandering around." Zhang Yong replied. "I seem to have seen this old woman somewhere..." Zhang Yong couldn't remember, but he thought he seemed to have an impression of this old woman.Due to his occupation, he had met quite a few people, but this old woman didn't seem to have met because of his work.

"Since you are free, can you do me a favor?" the old woman said. "There's something wrong..." Zhang Yong had this feeling.As a trainee policeman, he often hears from his superiors that our job is to see through the details of others, so the most important thing is to be keenly observant. You must train your ability to observe people more. Therefore, observing others became his habit.In fact, from the moment he was called, he had been observing the old woman. The old woman's half-white hair was a little messy, but it looked like it was messed up on purpose.Her well-combed hair was deliberately messed up—that's how it looked.Although her clothes were of rough cloth, there were no patches or tears.Judging from her clothes, she is by no means a person who needs to work hard for a living.

"If it is something that can be done, I am willing to help." Zhang Yong replied. "The thing is like this. There is a patient in my family. The fortune teller told me that if I can invite young men from Chengnan, the patient will recover naturally. I just ask you to come. As for the reward, I will never treat you badly." .” said the old woman. "Can I just drop by your house?" "Yes. This is a good deed, and I hope you will agree." "Since it's a good deed, then... okay!" Zhang Yong agreed.The old woman had already prepared a car, so Zhang Yong sat in it.

The car stopped after driving for a while, and the old woman poked her head out of the hood, pointed to a large chest placed there and said: "It's a chest for prayers. Please go inside. Before I ask you to come out, you must not come out by yourself. If you come out by yourself, not only the patient will not be cured, but even your life will be in danger." "Scared! Mammy, don't scare me." While talking, Zhang Yong opened the lid of the box and went inside.It was a luxurious chest decorated with gold and silver and inlaid with shellfish. After entering the cabinet, of course nothing can be seen.The car stopped many times on the way, but quickly moved again.

"There's something wrong with what the old woman said..." Zhang Yong, who was in the cabinet, thought about this.The old woman's words sounded rude, but sometimes there were elegant words similar to those used by harem ladies. Every time the car stops, there will be sounds such as "open the door" or "please come in", as if the car is passing through some kind of door.strangeness!After entering Luoyang City, besides entering the imperial palace, what other gates must be passed through! "Oops! Could it be..." Zhang Yong's face turned pale in the cabinet.Because of his relationship in the trapper's house, he knew many unpublished events.

Recently, there have been frequent disappearances of young people aged seventeen or eighteen.And the missing ones are all beautiful boys.How they disappeared, there is no clue about this, except that none of them came back. "You have to be careful!" Zhang Yong's mother once warned him so.Because he is also a beautiful boy praised by everyone. "Stop joking! I'm a catcher!" Zhang Yong laughed at his mother's words.As a catcher, he knew this very well.Regarding the case of the disappearance of the beautiful boy, every time he reported to the higher-level office and asked for instructions, he would always get the order "There is no need to investigate this matter".

The police are also much smarter now, they don't investigate the disappearance of the beautiful boy at all. "It's quite a good way!" A boss said this with a wry smile.He was talking about Empress Jiashi.In the name of diagnosis, the promiscuous queen has an affair with the imperial physician Ling Chengju—there has been a rumor recently. "It is said that the emperor's side is no longer good." There are also such rumors.Some people even pointed out more specifically that the emperor became impotent after giving birth to the crown prince; probably because Empress Jia, who is good at this way, is too empty to bear, so she kidnapped a beautiful boy to sleep with her, and then kill her to silence her. ? ——The police who are proficient in reasoning and investigation have already made such speculations.

The lid is opened. "You can come out now," said the old woman. Zhang Yong pulled the hood of the car and got out of the car. "Sure enough..." Because he suddenly appeared under the sun, Zhang Yong could only squint his eyes and look around.For just a split second, he almost fainted with despair.In front of you is a palace with extremely bright colors, and even the reddish walls give people a delicate and beautiful feeling. There is no doubt that this is the harem of the Luoyang palace where the promiscuous queen Jiashi came to rule. "What is this place?" Zhang Yong asked.

"This place is paradise on earth..." The old woman replied in polite words.She must be the queen's confidant, who is responsible for finding beautiful young people for the queen to play with, right?Zhang Yong thought that he seemed to have seen this old woman, maybe he was seen by this old woman who was looking for work, but he missed his gaze? Zhang Yong, who volunteered to embark on the road of arresting officials, is very courageous.As a trainee policeman, of course he often saw the scene of interrogating suspects, so he knew that at this time, attitude was very important.

"I don't want to die!" Zhang Yong intends to give the other party a good attitude as much as possible in order to avoid death. "Now I will take you to the bathroom in the sky. To meet the people in the sky, you must take a bath first. I hope you will wash your body clean." The old woman took Zhang Yong to the bathroom.This is a bathroom made of five-color marble. The water may be hot springs transported from afar. Although it is transparent, it feels greasy.Zhang Yong followed the old woman's instructions and washed his body very clean.In the lounge next to it, there was already a change of clothes, which were brand new clothes made of silk and embroidered with patterns. After he put them on, he walked out of the corridor.

"Oh! You look like a noble young master!" The old woman looked at Zhang Yong and said in amazement. Zhang Yong knew that he was both beautiful and chic.In order to survive, perhaps this is the most powerful weapon, right? "This is the Queen of Heaven—" As the old woman said, what she introduced to him was an ugly middle-aged woman who was hard to associate with the heavenly beings.Empress Jia was already in her thirties, short, with a dark complexion, and a rather large scar beside her eyebrow. The Heavenly Empress, who was far away from the beauty, was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Oh……" Seeing Zhang Yong's appearance, Queen Jia gasped immediately. "It seems that there is hope..." Zhang Yong tried his best to pretend to be inexperienced. "Take off your clothes! I want to see you naked..." Queen Jia said. When Zhang Yong was about to undress, the tent behind him was gently pulled down.After a while, Empress Jia lay lazily on the bed, stared at the naked and trembling beautiful boy, and then beckoned: "Come here. Help me take off this suit of clothes! Come here!" I want you to come to my side." Zhang Yong closed his eyes and stretched out his hand. Zhang Yonghuo came out of the palace, and things went easier than he imagined.The queen with a strong desire for power has a linear way of thinking.Although the beautiful boy Zhang Yongcai was only eighteen years old, he had played with many women and was very good at sexual skills. Under his control, the queen showed a contented look. —I want to play with the young man again. Because of the Queen's desire, Zhang Yong was saved from being killed. Every time he heard people talk about the "queen's promiscuity", Zhang Yong would smile. According to his feeling, the queen is definitely not a promiscuous woman.What she did in this regard was rather feigned. ——She seems to want to have a baby... Zhang Yong, who is quite experienced with women, is of course very good at examining women's hearts. Empress Jia never gave birth to a child, the reason may be that Emperor Hui had a physical defect.The crown prince was not born to the queen, but Mrs. Xie, the daughter of the butcher shop, and Emperor Hui only had this child. Although the empress can control the weak-minded Huidi and gain power, but without a prince, it is impossible to hold on to this power for a long time.As long as she gave birth to a child, she was sure to abolish the crown prince and replace her with her own son.And this son doesn't have to be Emperor Hui's child, no matter who the father is, as long as he is born by her.The reason why Empress Jia desperately searched for beautiful boys was entirely because she wanted to have children. Even so, Empress Jia never showed signs of pregnancy.It seems that the cause of infertility is not only her husband Huidi, but also her body. No matter how hard she tried, Queen Jia still failed to have a child.In this way, the throne may be inherited by the crown prince Sima Yu.This crown prince is the grandson of Sima Yan, the Emperor Wu who was disappointed in his son.As mentioned earlier, Emperor Hui was able to ascend the throne because of this son.However, the crown prince has become vulgar now. It is very difficult to become a wise monarch.The reason probably lies in: the court, the center of power, has the inconceivable magic power to corrupt the ruler. "The crown prince, who is considered smart, has been getting more and more wrong recently. It is said that he often plays the game of opening a store in the palace recently, pretending to be the owner of the store, and selling some vegetables, noodles or rice cakes with stuffing!" "I've heard about this too. It seems that he is indeed the son of a butcher's daughter. He can tell the weight of the goods when he picks them up. The son of a mouse can make holes!" Such rumors about the crown prince are circulating. "He is so pitiful..." Every time he heard such derogatory rumors about the crown prince, Zhang Yong couldn't help talking to himself. The crown prince who was watched by his grandfather Emperor Wudi was indeed a wise man.But what about Yingming?This type of person will fuck hard to enforce what they believe in.In this way, wouldn't it greatly hinder Queen Jia's plan?Empress Jia never wanted the crown prince to be a wise man, he had better be a fool. The wise crown prince knew this, so he pretended to be stupid on purpose.When she heard that the crown prince turned out to be a fool, Empress Jia would be relieved.The crown prince pretended to be a fool in order to protect himself. The crown prince is stupid, and it is easy for Empress Jia to control him.But now the queen is planning to frame him.Before that, she tied some soft things to her stomach to pretend to be pregnant.In addition, she adopted her nephew, the son of her brother-in-law Han Shou, as an adopted son. Of course, a certain degree of verisimilitude is required for the play of the crown prince to protect himself.Since you are pretending to be stupid, you will inevitably have behaviors that go beyond the norm.And to act like a drunk, of course, you need to actually drink.One day, the crown prince, who was drunk as hell, saw a pen and paper stuffed in front of him, and wrote an article on it according to the queen's instructions, and sowed the seeds of his own destruction. — Suspected of rebellion! The crown prince was abolished for this reason.Empress Jia wanted to kill him at first, but because some powerful ministers strongly opposed it, she temporarily reduced him to a common man.Her plan was to kill the crown prince after fabricating evidence of his rebellion. Empress Jia is indeed a little impetuous, she is anxious to achieve her goal as soon as possible.And the more anxious you are, the easier it is to reveal your flaws.People gradually became aware of the empress' plotting in order to gain all the real power. ——The queen has the intention of treason! If someone takes this as an excuse to rise up, people will definitely be happy-the time is ripe. The one who had to revolt first should be the Sima clan of the Jin royal family. ——Support the deposed crown prince and bring down the queen, so that the world of Jin can be peaceful! Under this slogan, the people should respond enthusiastically. "Should I go up and call?" King Sima Lun of Zhao—the brother of the late Runan King Sima Liang—asked his confidant Sun Xiu this question. "King Zhao is the pillar of the current government—" Sun Xiu replied.The current government is equivalent to the government of Queen Jia, that is to say, King Zhao is considered to be the Queen's henchman. "The crown prince must think that the king is a queen faction..." Sun Xiu continued, "So, even if the king rises up, defeats the queen, and supports the crown prince, the crown prince will still be suspicious of the king... how about this! Queen You must be unable to hold back, and you will kill the crown prince sooner or later. In this way, the crown prince who had doubts about the king is no longer alive, and it is good to revolt at that time, isn't it?"
