Chapter 76 I'm Just Your Majesty's lackey

Although Qiongfang Tower is just a place of romance, since it is the capital's rainbow light district, it is naturally many people know about it.

So it is not difficult to find this place, but in Liu Ruyu's opinion, there is still something wrong with His Holiness. If it is found out by the censor or recorded in the actual record, it is not a glorious good thing.

But Liu Ruyu knew that his Majesty would not repent as long as he had decided on it, so he couldn't say anything after a few words of advice.

It was the first time Zhu Youxiao entered this place, but it was still a little different from the Qinlou Chuguan he remembered.

There were no women wearing heavy makeup in front of the door, and when they saw a man coming in, they threw themselves into their arms. On the contrary, the entire attic was very quiet.

Some scholars sat peacefully in a blue gauze cabinet listening to a woman playing the pipa, or a woman and a man playing chess in a window, and there were also a few chess watching next to them.

Of course, there are also people who drink wine, hold their shoulders, and make fun of them, but they are all inside the house and do not affect others.

Zhu Youxiao looked for a more hidden place to sit down, but not long after, there was still a corner that looked quite beautiful. She was wearing a bean-green pleated skirt and pink double-breasted dress and came over: "Would this official wait for a friend or look for my lady?"

According to Liu Ruyu's explanation, it turns out that there is only a Qing Gong Gu who lives in a high-end and romantic place like Qiongfanglou. At the same time, this Qing Gong Gu who is the owner of this place, and only entertains people with voice. Of course, sometimes there are also people who use their bodies to entertain people, but it must be when you love and I want to.

Such places sometimes look more like high-end clubs and provide some services such as chatting and reminiscing, so the maid asked Zhu Youxiao whether to wait for her friends or look for her lady.

Waiting for friends may only cost some tea or find a few singers to have some fun.

And finding her lady may have to be at a higher price, and there may even be other assessments.

However, Zhu Youxiao came here neither to make friends nor to find a lady who could read or touch her to talk about poetry, songs and essays. To put it bluntly, he is actually a vulgar person.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao also saw the two scholars he had just met were also sitting in front of the window on the second floor and laughing, and occasionally looked at the room opposite.

Zhu Youxiao estimated that the room was probably where Fu Guan and Li Mingrui were.

At this time, countless scholars sat down one after another.

A young scholar dressed in a common man and somewhat shabby walked to Zhu Youxiao with a few books in his arms and pointed to an empty seat: "This guy has invited me, I wonder if anyone can sit here?"

"No", Zhu Youxiao said a few words with a smile. The disciple bowed to Zhu Youxiao and sat next to Zhu Youxiao. He didn't talk to Zhu Youxiao and then read the book seriously.

Seeing the mung bean cake on Zhu Youxiao’s table, he took two pieces of them and smiled and said, “I’m hungry and let Guan fill my stomach once, so I will never thank you.”

Seeing this guy so casually, Liu Ruyu ate the pastry he ordered for His Majesty directly, and wanted to say a few words, but Zhu Youxiao glared back: "It's okay! Please use it slowly."

The man said nothing, and continued to look at the books in his hand. Zhu Youxiao looked at it but it was not a scientific examination book, but a miscellaneous books he deliberately ordered Wei Zhongxian to publish. He was a little surprised and asked:

"The exam is about to be held, why is this gentleman still reading these books?"

"The Four Books and Five Classics, Zhu Xi's articles have been rotten in his stomach for more than ten years. Why bother sharpening his guns in the face of battle? Since the big competition is approaching, the more you should be able to be free in your body and mind. Reading some idle books will lead to some principles that others don't know."

As the man said this, he continued to look at it carefully.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao took the initiative to ask him for his name.

"Guan Shaoning".

Zhu Youxiao nodded and didn't say anything. At this time, the two scholars on the second floor walked down, and one of them asked Guan Shaoning directly: "I didn't expect you to come and visit Li Zhongyun, because you are a lackey under Wei Yin, but you really know how to smell it."

"I don't know how to smell it. I just saw two pugs coming in, so I followed in curiously." Guan Shaoning replied coldly and continued reading.

Zhu Youxiao was also interested in seeing this. He could see that Guan Shaoning was also a sharp-tongued person. And he was scolded by the two above as Wei Yi's lackey. I guess Guan Shaoning was the royal party.

"you!"

One of the two scholars was so angry that he didn't know what to say, while the other one named Lu Yanruo laughed coldly: "Brother Mao, why bother to be angry with such a despicable villain who defected to the eunuch party? Miss Yufen could not see the indecentness."

"Chung Qizong, Lu Daqi!"

At this time, Guan Shaoning suddenly stood up, pointed at the two of them, and roared: "Tell you again, Guan someone who wants to be a lackey is also his lackey. Unlike you, the shameless villains who are hypocritical and shameless, who secretly scold the king without virtue, but they all flatter the emperor and his close ministers. It is really hypocritical, I bah!"

Zhu Youxiao only realized that these two scholars were actually the ones who were born in the rank of Zong and Lu Daqi. He had heard of these two people, and he became even more interested in the dispute between these three people for a while.

At this time, the Maoqizong also began to refute Guan Shaoning's words: "The emperor has lost his virtues and is accustomed to being lewd and tricks. He killed loyal and kind people in the court, appointed eunuchs, and seized the benefits of the people everywhere! As a child of Confucius and Mencius, what are the crimes of admonishing the emperor for his mistakes!"

"What a loyal and kind man in the court, I dare to ask who was the mastermind of His Majesty's murder on the Winter Solstice! I dare to ask whether His Majesty is the one who takes away the people's wealth or you well-read poets and scholars!"

Guan Shaoning was a little angry and was anxious without saying a word. The Emperor and Lu Daqi could not deny that the Donglin Party members, who were the predecessor of the Fushe, had done several traitors.

"No matter what you say, Your Majesty is ignorant but it is true. I heard that he doesn't even know a word now! He was played with by eunuchs in applause!"

Lu Daqi added this time.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't smile bitterly. He didn't know whether Zhu Youxiao could recognize the characters in the past, but although he was not very familiar with the past, he could still recognize the basic traditional Chinese characters based on his hobbies.

"Since the two gentlemen said that Your Majesty is an ignorant, can there be evidence?" Zhu Youxiao stood up and asked.

Mao Qizong waved his folding fan proudly and said, "Don't talk about the eight-part articles, can Your Majesty write a poem or a poem? Can you have a lecture on the scriptures and discuss the study and preach to the ministers?"

"Zhu is not talented. What you said about Li Zhongyun is a despicable nephew. I have heard Li Zhongyun mention that His Majesty once wrote the word, and now he is just present to you to see it, which can be regarded as giving you a glimpse of the holy intention."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, a pavilion door suddenly opened, and a graceful beauty walked out, smiled and said, "Bai Ying, serve this young master's four treasures in the study!"
