Chapter 405 No trace

After the yamen were in full swing at the You hour, the capital city was still bustling and the market was prosperous.

Gao Xianning, a Hanlin Academy attendant, came out of Hongwu Gate and rode a donkey to the southwest.He sent his servant home too.

Gao Xianning's family lived in the mansion that Emperor Taizong gave him, but he did not take this path when he returned home.

He didn't want to go home today, but to the Qinhuai River near Jubaomen; every ten days and half a month, he had to go there and take a walk along the way to see the scenery along the way.

The jade shop that the King of Han secretly purchased was between Jubaomen and Qinhuai River.

The jade shop is mostly closed, and Gao Xianning may not be able to go in once or twice a year.

He usually walked here frequently, for fear that those who are interested would notice such strange details; so after Gao Xianning passed by Jade Street, he usually had to go to another place.

There is also a very famous place here, one of the official brothels opened by Emperor Taizu, one of the 16th floor of Jinling.

Before Gao Xianning became an official, he often went to brothels and restaurants; now he went to Zuixianlou from time to time in the capital, which is very common.

Gao Xianning felt that the two were inconsistent with reciting poems and essays.

After becoming an official, he had no intention of visiting prostitutes at all; at first, he went to Zuixianlou to cover up some whereabouts.

But Gao Xianning met the top brand in Zuixianlou, Fu Jinghong, and then every time he went to Zuixianlou, it became a willing thing.

The capital is worthy of being a gathering place for wealth and wealth in the world, and even the girls are more colorful than the local ones.

After seeing Gao Xianning for several times, Fu Jinghong seemed to guess that he was an official, so she did not recite poems and essays and talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor did she ask about Gao Xianning's official affairs at all; but she could always give Gao Xianning some comfort in words without any trace.

However, the understanding and beautiful girl is also the top celebrity in Zuixianlou, and the price is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford.I went there too often, and even Gao Xianning felt short of money...

Gao Xianning arrived at the Dagongfang on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, went to a small courtyard and changed his official uniform first, and then crossed the bridge to Zuixian Tower.

After all, it would be inappropriate to visit prostitutes and wear official uniforms.

He came here to change his clothes before and found someone following him, but then no one cared about it. Perhaps the spies found out that his strange behavior was just for visiting prostitutes.

Gao Xianning continued to ride a horse and donkey through Jade Street, and then prepared to go to Zuixianlou.

But he suddenly discovered that the jade shop was actually opened today!

Gao Xianning tied the donkey under the stairs and walked to the gate upstairs.

He paced in and saw a man in a garment sitting behind the cabinet, burying his head and making plans.

Gao Xianning had met the great man many times, and the man from the Han Palace was named Chen Dachui.

Chen Dachui looked up and his pupils immediately contracted slightly.Now that we don’t even need tokens between us, Chen Dachui asked directly: Did you come by horse or by car?

Gao Xianning said: The donkey riding.

Chen Dachui said: Please wait in the study room for a while, and I will come when I go.After saying that, he closed the door first and walked out of the back door.

Gao Xianning went to a study room inside, picked up a feather duster, swept the chair a few times, and sat there waiting.

After a while, Chen Dachui returned to the study room, searched on the shelf inside for a while, found a letter and handed it over.

The letter does not write the handwriting of King Han, but the word "Qi Tai, the teacher of Gao Xianning!

Chen Dachui said: The Guizhou area is very tight. I went to Guangxi first, and the detour of the capital has been delayed for a lot of time.This time, I did not follow the order of the King of Han. The prince went to Sichuan. He was the deacon of the Governor's Office and the right chief of the Han Dynasty.

Mr. Li?Gao Xianning looked at Qi Tai's handwriting on the letter and asked casually.

Chen Dachui said: Li Changjue.

Oh!Gao Xianning immediately looked like he suddenly realized.Li Changjue is Gao Xianning's classmate and one of Qi Tai's students, but he had already withdrawn from the imperial examination because he was seriously ill.

Chen Dachui glanced at him and said: Before the prince led his troops north, he ordered the civil and military officials and eunuchs who stayed in the Han Palace to hide everything from Mr. Li.Mr. Li asked about the situation in the capital in detail, thinking that he could try to alienate the relationship between Zhang Fu and the pseudo-emperor (Zhu Gaochi); therefore, he sent me to the capital to find a few people to do the work.

Gao Xianning nodded.

Chen Dachui continued: It is said that Xie Jin advised the late emperor to establish a crown prince and said, "Good saint grandson"!In this way, if there are rumors that the fake emperor can become the crown prince and the emperor, it is entirely up to have a good son loved by the late emperor. What would the fake emperor feel?The pseudo-emperor is most likely to hate his eldest son (Zhanji)!

Such a matter would make Queen Zhang uneasy, and Zhang Fu's eldest daughter was named the Imperial Concubine, second only to the Queen.Queen Zhang will have a grudge with Zhang Fu's family, and then many unpredictable things may happen.

Gao Xianning briefly interjected: Concubine Zhang is happy, and the news just came out.

Chen Dachui said: Then Mr. Li’s plan of disagreement is more likely to take effect!If Concubine Zhang gave birth to a son and the pseudo-emperor disliked the queen's son, the queen's status would be shaken.

Gao Xianning pondered and said nothing.

Chen Dahui laughed and said: There are so many twists and turns in the literati's belly, and Mr. Li can even understand the woman's heart thoroughly!How did Mr. Li say about Empress Zhang?

Gao Xianning asked curiously: How did you judge?

Chen Dachui said: Empress Zhang and the pseudo-emperor are grasshoppers on the same rope. They want to preserve the power of the pseudo-dynasty, and strive for their own power.If the two conflict with each other, she can still abandon the overall situation and seek personal gain for herself, that is the case for the woman.It is also said that the saint said that only women and villains are difficult to raise!

Gao Xianning ignored it and pondered: "Mr. Li" means to use Empress Zhang to provoke the trust of the pseudo-emperor and the Zhang Fu family?

Probably that's what it means.Chen Dahui said, and he paused and asked again, "Is there anyone in the Chaoli who is going to be punished recently?"

Gao Xianning said: Xie Jin and Guo Ming. Xie Jin has already gone to Annan Kingdom, and Guo Ming is the father-in-law of the King of Han... Guo Ming's eldest daughter, Concubine Guo, has not appeared since the pseudo-emperor ascended the throne and is said to have been detained in the East Palace. The reason is unknown, perhaps because the Guo family was the father-in-law of the Han Dynasty, or perhaps before and after the pseudo-emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Guo did something wrong. Now the censors in the court are staring at the Guo family, wanting to seize the handle and impeach the fake emperor.

Chen Dachui thought for a while and said: Then it would be better to use Xie Jin to do it.Who is the popular censor?

Gao Xianning answered: After the Censor Chen Ying was imprisoned, Geng Tong was extremely favored by the criminal department. He did not impeach anyone he caught, but no one who had impeached was unlucky.

Chen Dachui nodded and said: I'm going to get the opportunity to write a report and send it to Gengtong's door.The report was reported that Xie Jin was full of complaints in Annan Kingdom and told everyone that the emperor relied on his son to take office.

Gao Xianning said: You have to be careful, I am helping you in the morning.He stood up and suddenly said: There are too many lice on Xie Jin's body, so it may not be useful to sue him, and it is also possible to sue Guo Ming.Although Guo Ming is the father-in-law of the Han Dynasty, even if we don’t do it, Guo Ming will be liquidated sooner or later.If Guo Ming was reported, this matter would not be suspected of being a conspiracy of the Han Palace.

Chen Dachui said with a look of disgrace: Are you here to do it?

Gao Xianning nodded.

Chen Dachui took out two pieces of paper and half a seal, one was a silver note and the other was a document. He said: The Han Palace allocated some money to pay for Gao Shitu. Please check the amount and sign and seal it.This silver note was opened by the Xu family's money house. There are also their money houses in the capital. You can exchange them with the silver note and seal.

Gao Xianning picked up his pen and wrote his name, and said, "Thank you, King of Han on my behalf, and say hello to Mr. Li."

Gao Xianning got a lot of money. When he walked out of the jade shop, he thought about it and continued to go to Zuixianlou.

The noise in Zuixian Tower is neither too much nor too deserted.

When the red head brand Fu Jinghong prepared a table of wine and food in the room, he accompanied Gao Xianning.

She poured wine for Gao Xianning first and talked to him. Seeing Gao Xianning's heartfelt appearance, she stopped and walked behind the piano platform and played a song of clear heart.

After the song, Fu Jinghong came to pour wine, first looking for the topic and said: It’s not that whoever spends money, I would rather drink with anyone.The rebellious prince and the King of Han came to Zuixianlou a few years ago and yelled in public that he had money. Oh, that scene was really embarrassing.

When Gao Xianning heard her mention the King of Han, he suddenly became nervous: Why did she suddenly mention the King of Han?Could it be that this woman is so smart that she can see that she has something to do with the King of Han?

Gao Xianning observed Fu Jinghong for a while, feeling that he might be too nervous and worried.

Can you treat girls in Zuixianlou?Gao Xianning looked smiling.

Fu Jinghong said: Of course, this place is like my home.

Gao Xianning asked in a low voice: If there is something that Miss Fu has to make a decision, or if Zuixianlou falls into the street, how will the girl choose?You can't fool me.

Fu Jinghong curled his lips and whispered: If I say that I would rather live such a miserable life for the sake of Zuixianlou, it would be so false!Can the young master believe it?

After hearing this, Gao Xianning laughed: This is where I admire the girl. The girl is a person with temperament and never plays a show at any time or anywhere.But the value is indeed not low.

If a young master wants other people's hearts, of course it will be expensive.Fu Jinghong gently covered Zhu Hong's little mouth.

Gao Xianning said in a joking tone: Only women and villains are hard to raise!

Fu Jinghong pouted and said angrily: If the young master speaks like this, he will be angry!

Gao Xianning looked at her and smiled: In addition to being a person with temperament, your amazing little mouth is also the most fascinating thing.
