Chapter 564: Good intentions
"What the hell are you thinking?" Hongluan and Zijuan bowed down and sent the burly brocade-robed young man into Yixiangtang, and when he entered the gate, Hongluan's face turned cold, and she looked at Zijuan on the side quietly, she didn't think that Zijuan's appearance in front of Li Yuntian was a coincidence.
"Just like you." Seeing the frost on Hongluan's mask, Zijuan knew that she was dissatisfied with her rash coming to Li Yuntian, so she said with a smile, "To be honest, this girl really didn't expect your eyesight to be so good, and among so many people in Baihua Temple, you can see at a glance that Zhao Gongzi is from a prominent background. ”
The reason why Zijuan said "Zhao Gongzi" is because Li Yuntian used a fake surname, anyway, the name is just a symbol for those guests in the Qinglou, just like the stage name of the Qinglou woman, as long as the guests can afford the silver, no one cares who the guests' surnames are.
"He doesn't have any illustrious background, this girl advises you to stay away from him, otherwise this girl will definitely not let you go!" Hongluan immediately realized that Zijuan was beating Li Yuntian's idea, so his eyes flashed coldly, and he warned coldly.
"This is strange, Zhao Gongzi is not yours, why do you say what this girl is going to do?"
Zijuan was slightly stunned when she heard this, she found that Hongluan seemed to be serious, not joking, and then a sly smile appeared on her face, "Originally, this girl didn't have anything to do with Zhao Gongzi, she just wanted to make a friend with a powerful child, but now it seems that the origin of this Zhao Gongzi is not simple, and this girl is becoming more and more interested in him." ”
As she spoke, Zijuan Jiao smiled and led her maids away, leaving only Hongluan standing there with cold eyes.
Yixiangtang not only has a close relationship with Hangzhou Invite Moon Pavilion, but also has a close relationship with Tianxiangge, which is also one of the three major green buildings in Hangzhou, so the people of Tianxiangge also live in Yixiangtang, but one east and one west live on both sides of Yixiangtang, so as not to cause embarrassment when the two sides meet.
The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the three major green buildings in Hangzhou have been fighting openly and secretly with each other in order to compete for the throne of the leader, especially the battle between the Yueyue Pavilion and the Tianxiang Pavilion, so the Yixiangtang will be placed separately from each other.
It stands to reason that now that the Jiangnan Oiran Conference is approaching, neither the Vine Moon Pavilion nor the Tianxiang Pavilion will cause trouble during this period, once it affects the Jiangnan Oiran Conference, then their efforts in the past three years will be in vain.
Hongluan never imagined that Zijuan would stick a lever this time and unexpectedly rob her benefactor, which is not only a matter between two people, but also involves the grievances and grievances between the Inviting Moon Pavilion and the Tianxiang Pavilion.
Tianxiang Pavilion's residence was arranged by Yixiangtang in a small courtyard on the west side, and there was a three-story building in the courtyard, and when Zijuan returned to her bedroom, a man was already waiting in the room.
"Good work tonight." The man was sitting on a chair reading a book, and when he saw Zijuan coming, he raised his head with a smile, he was none other than Chen Guangzong.
"Master, what kind of person is that Zhao Gongzi, even the arrogant and domineering Xue Xiaohou is also respectful to him?" Zijuan stepped forward and sat in Chen Guangzong's arms, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his neck, and asked with a smile, she was now very curious about Li Yuntian's identity.
"Don't talk about Xue Kui, it's his son Xue Lu who is here, and he is also honest in front of Zhao Gongzi." Chen Guangzong immediately sneered when he heard this, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.
The Chinese official group of the imperial court and the Xungui group were constantly fighting, and their children were even more hostile to each other, which caused no less disputes, so Chen Guangzong naturally looked down on Xue Kui.
The burly young man in the brocade robe was Xue Kui, the second son of Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu and the governor of Caoyun, although Xue Lu was a marquis, but he served as Li Yuntian's deputy in the war to quell the rebellion of the Han King, so as Chen Guangzong said, even Xue Lu had to give three points in front of Li Yuntian, let alone Xue Kui.
"Zhao Gongzi is from the palace?" Zijuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this, and asked with a surprised expression, although Li Yuntian's surname was "Zhao" instead of "Zhu", but there were many dignitaries and nobles who used a fake name to visit the Qinglou, so she would not believe it and think that Li Yuntian's surname was "Zhao".
Although the Caoyun Yamen is not as famous in the south of the Yangtze River as the Yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Road, its power is even greater than that of the Lianghuai Salt Road, and the Caoyun in the world must be under its jurisdiction, and the most important mode of transportation in ancient times is Caoyun, and the land transportation is restricted due to many limitations.
In fact, from the level of the governor of Caoyun and the level of the two Huai salt road transfer envoys is enough to see the importance of the two, since the establishment of the Caoyun Governor Yamen, the successive governors are all counts and above, from the rank of the superb.
The two Huai salt road transfer envoys are served by civil officials from the third grade, and the rank is far inferior to the governor of Caoyun.
It is worth mentioning that although the vast majority of the official and private salt transported to all parts of the country by the Lianghuai Salt Road have to rely on Cao Yun to transport, the relationship between the Yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Road and the Yamen of the Governor of Cao Yun is not good.
It stands to reason that the Caoyun Governor Yamen has the right to govern the affairs of the Caoyun Railway, but the salt transportation of the Lianghuai Salt Road is very special, because the salt industry belongs to the state monopoly, and the Ming Dynasty handed over the right of the salt industry to the Lianghuai Salt Road Yamen, so the Caoyun Governor Yamen has no right to interfere with the salt transportation of the Lianghuai Salt Road, and the salt transport fleet escorted by the officials of the Yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Road can only be released, and cannot be boarded for inspection.
This means that the Caoyun Governor Yamen cannot get a share of the huge benefits of the Lianghuai Salt Road, but because the oil and water on the Caoyun are also very rich, the Caoyun Governor Yamen is too lazy to worry about the Lianghuai Salt Road Yamen, and the two sides have been safe and sound.
For the governors of the south of the Yangtze River, the Caoyun Governor's Yamen is much more important than the Lianghuai Salt Road, and the Lianghuai Salt Road is just to manage the salt affairs and has no interest in the state capitals, while the Caoyun Governor's Yamen is closely related to the state capitals, so the Caoyun Governor has a huge influence in the south of the Yangtze River.
In Zijuan's opinion, if the young Li Yuntian can make Xue Lu, who is the governor of Caoyun, jealous, then only people from the royal family, even the young prince of the kingdom who attacked the lord must be polite in front of the senior Xue Lu.
"Over time, I can't guarantee that he can really break the rent system of Emperor Taizu and become the first living prince with a different surname in my Ming Dynasty!" After listening to Zijuan's words, Chen Guangzong pondered for a while and said with emotion.
According to the ancestral system set by Ming Taizu, Xungui was not allowed to be crowned king when he was alive, so several princes with different surnames in the history of the Ming Dynasty were posthumously sealed after his death, and they could not be hereditary.
However, since the ancestral system set by Ming Taizu that the inner servants cannot read has been broken by Emperor Xuande, it is difficult to guarantee that a king with a different surname will not come out at that time.
In the final analysis, there are no nobles in the Ming Dynasty who can enter the king when they are alive, one is that the Ming Dynasty is stable after the Jingjing, although there is a fiasco in the civil fort, but on the whole the people live a stable life, which makes the nobles unable to gain a foothold in order to make them the king's military exploits.
Second, with the rise of the cabinet, the Xungui group gradually lost in the battle with the civil official group, the Ming Dynasty since the battle of Tumubao after the Xungui group has gone downhill, in the middle and late period, it appeared in the situation of the military with the military, and the chief officer who led the troops became a civilian official, which made the nobles cut off the possibility of being crowned.
"A living king with a different surname!" Zijuan's eyes suddenly showed a shocked look when they heard this, like them, who were vigorously cultivated by various Qinglou, not only had excellent talents, but also knew the current situation in the court and the middle of the court, only in this way could they talk about current affairs with those dignitaries and nobles with ease, so as to win the favor of those dignitaries.
"Master, Zhao Gongzi is the Marquis of Zhenwu?" Immediately, Zijuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Guangzong in astonishment.
Among those nobles of the Ming Dynasty, there is only one person who can make enough military merits to be crowned king when he is alive, that is, the young Zhenwu Marquis, Zhenwu Marquis has fully demonstrated his talent in military and government affairs in Jiaozhi's brave martial arts table, and there are several unstable marginal areas like Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that no one can calm them down except for Zhenwu Hou, which will make Zhenwu Marquis have enough military merits to win the king's title.
"The Marquis of Zhenwu is scheming, and the city government is profound, if this son tells you his identity, then nine times out of ten he will be seen to be flawed, and then this son's plan will be in vain." Chen Guangzong laughed when he heard this, hugged Zijuan's slender waist and said.
"Master, what do you want Zijuan to do?" Zijuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of surprise, being able to make friends with a young and promising noble like Li Yuntian is something that a Qing person like her dreams of.
Originally, Zijuan was supposed to go to perform for Xue Kui tonight, but when she was about to leave for Xue Kui's small courtyard, Chen Guangzong suddenly came unexpectedly and asked her to give up going to Xue Kui and turn to curry favor with Li Yuntian.
In order to avoid Zijuan revealing her flaws and being suspicious of Li Yuntian, Chen Guangzong deliberately did not tell Zijuan Li Yuntian's identity, but only told her to serve Li Yuntian with all her might.
Chen Guangzong came to Yixiangtang this time and wanted to contact Hongluan and let Hongluan be used by him, but after arriving at Yixiangtang, he unexpectedly learned that Li Yuntian had not seen Hongluan, and Hongluan was performing for other guests.
Therefore, Chen Guangzong couldn't help but have an idea, and had an excellent idea in his heart, asking Zijuan to replace Hongluan to receive Li Yuntian.
Although things seem a little abrupt at first glance, considering the grievances between the Yueyue Pavilion and the Tianxiang Pavilion, it seems logical for Zijuan to go to Li Yuntian, and the Qingqi people are not in harmony with each other, and the intrigue between them is no less than in the officialdom and the shopping mall.
Besides, Chen Guangzong is not worried about Hongluan, Li Yuntian's status and power are more prominent than him, not to mention, he and Hongluan have never known each other, so why should Hongluan help him find out the news from Li Yuntian? It's a taboo thing to do.
Zijuan is different, when Chen Guangzong went to Hangzhou a year ago, he had already had a spring breeze with her, and promised Zijuan to accept her as a concubine in the future, it can be said that he is his woman, so he naturally believes in Zijuan more.
Taking a step back, even if Li Yuntian suspects that Zijuan and Hongluan have other purposes for approaching him, it is difficult to judge who is the one with evil intentions for a while, and the probability of revealing flaws in the face of the two will also increase invisibly, which can be described as well-intentioned, no matter what, he has to find out the exact news from Li Yuntian, only in this way can he send out those private salts with peace of mind.
