"He has a drink!"
"One drink for me!"
The time for drinking and having fun is not long.
Wei Qing couldn't afford wine, and he didn't drink much. After a few bowls of water and wine, his head felt dizzy, and he didn't offer any effective suggestions at all.
Xintei can drink, but his control is usually strict, and his wine quality is not very good.
After a while of drinking and drinking, they both lay down.
The new emperor didn't wake up from his dizziness until the sound of patrols sounded at the fifth watch of the day.
He looked at himself, who was disheveled, and then at Wei Qing, who was also disheveled and unconscious, and felt that there were terrifying and absurd thoughts in his mind.
The new emperor didn't know what he did while drunk, and Wei Qing must have been drunk before him, so he certainly didn't know either.
But the new emperor knew that he had eaten the Longjinghu Mengwan from Anle Palace.
"Could it be that my bestial nature took off Wei Qing's clothes..."
He was a little lost for a moment. He didn't even sit in the carriage and walked out of Pingyang Marquis Mansion alone.
Smelling like alcohol, he was walking on the street at dawn, staring at the many pedestrians coming and going since the morning. Xintei felt a little lost for a moment.
After all, he is just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, and no matter how mature his mind is, he is limited.
Some people at his age are simply ignorant, let alone fighting and struggling.
But Cintiq must force herself to adapt.
These things had been planted the moment he became the prince ten years ago, and it was destined that he would go forward without any retreat.
He has been scheming for a long time and has many little schemes.
But when the Empress Dowager became ill, the new emperor suddenly realized that his road had become pitifully narrow.
Most of what he did was in vain, whether he was cultivating Wei Qing, Zhang Qian and others, seeking support from senior ministers, or introducing Confucianism.
If the Empress Dowager fails and the emperor needs to be forcibly replaced, nothing he does will be of any help.
"Fortunately, I made a private agreement with the Confucian school two days ago, which gave the Confucian school delusional ideas. If this matter is leaked, the Queen Mother will definitely target the even more uncontrollable Confucian school, and then she will target me!"
Being blown by the cold wind on the street, the new emperor's head became a little clearer, and he kept looking for ways to stabilize his throne.
Confucianism was a big move arranged by Emperor Jing, and there was no shortage of various leverages in the future.
In Emperor Jing's arrangement, almost everything regarding Confucianism had been written clearly, and the new emperor only needed to follow it.
But the new emperor found that he had to change the purpose of Confucianism.
If it has no future, the development and changes of Confucianism will be of no use and may even bring huge consequences.
Among all the conditions, only if he ensures his primacy can he talk about other follow-ups, otherwise everything will be meaningless.
"We must find an opportunity to spread the news about respecting the unity of Confucianism to Anle Palace!"
The empress dowager is the mountain above the new emperor's head, and the empress dowager is also the mountain above the head of Confucianism.
When Zhao Wan made suggestions, she once told the new emperor that the matter must not be known to the Empress Dowager, because she was aware of the irreconcilable contradiction between Confucianism and the Empress Dowager.
The new emperor had made many calculations, but he did not expect the sudden illness of the Empress Dowager.
This greatly reduced his limited buffer time, from the original five to ten years to one or two years, or even one or two months.
This forced him to play the Confucian card early.
One is the biggest foundation supporting the Han Dynasty, and the other is a large school of thought that the new emperor used to draw strength, but he had to conflict because he needed to stabilize the throne.
This was equivalent to cutting off an arm, but the new emperor had no choice.
If he wanted to stabilize his position, he could only let the Confucians and the Empress Dowager fight, and then he might get a chance to breathe.
The new emperor's head was confused, and the countless calculations were constantly changing and pushing in unpredictable directions.
He was unable to determine his own future, let alone the future of the Han Dynasty.
"Why don't you like my father? Why don't you like me? This is our Liu family's dynasty. It was brought down by my grandfather with his own hands, not your Dou family's!"
The Empress Dowager was not satisfied with Emperor Jing, nor was she satisfied with the new emperor.
The new emperor now knew very well why Emperor Jing wanted to separate life and death from Prince Liang. As long as Prince Liang was still alive, he would be kicked out of the throne very quickly even if he respected Emperor Jing's will and inherited the throne.
This is the time for the new emperor to buffer before the Empress Dowager looks for a successor next to King Liang.
As long as he is better than other uncles and princes, his status will be stable.
But the Queen Mother's illness will inevitably speed up the progress of things.
The resentment in the heart of the new emperor was not shallow. He walked blindly on the street and wandered aimlessly. For a moment, he felt that no matter what he did, his future would be gloomy, and there was even a high probability of death.
"Since I moved out of that house, I feel refreshed now. It feels so good not to be contaminated by evil spirits. I feel comfortable living in this cloth shop, and the business of our cloth shop has also improved a lot!"
"With the master in charge of our store, how can this business be bad?"
"It's all thanks to that Lord Dongfang. If he hadn't had the courage to take over our haunted house, how could we have survived the misfortune!"
"He is a man of real ability, and he is very accurate when meeting me. I will still give him a piece of cloth to express my gratitude when I see him in the future!"
"That is!"
The new emperor turned a deaf ear to the many noises on the street. When some familiar names were mentioned, the new emperor concentrated a little and dispersed many thoughts in his mind.
He looked at the two rich men who were directing the long-term workers to carry linen and catkins, and thought about their conversation.
If they were talking about Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, or Mr. Zhang, the new emperor really didn't know who the couple was talking about, but the two men made it clear to him when they said Mr. Dongfang.
The new emperor didn't know if there were other people with the surname Dongfang in the world, and he didn't know if there were people with the surname Dongfang in Chang'an City, but there was only one Dongfang Shuo in the official system of the imperial court.
This guy used to be called Zhang Xuezhou, but he changed his name in order to avoid being traced by Emperor Jing. He also used a surname called the direction. The name was indeed extremely rare, and it also made the new emperor remember the other person's name in one go.
"Dongfang Shuo? Real ability? Taking over the haunted house? Face to face?"
If you want to extract a few key words from the couple's words, you can undoubtedly make a simple summary.
To put it simply, Dongfang Shuo met the couple and bought their haunted house.
"Why do you feel that Dongfang Shuo is taking advantage of this couple?"
"This guy can make people seek good fortune and avoid misfortune?"
In physiognomy, Fuxi Prime Minister is the most respected school, and it was also the school that was killed by the Qin Emperor to the death of three or two kittens. Not to mention the loss of inheritance, even the great monks who were famous for Fuxi Prime Minister were nowhere to be seen.
Then it was the turn of Taoist physiognomy, which was the school inherited by Liang Wang and others.
But regardless of whether it was Prime Minister Fuxi or Taoism, these people could not meet the new emperor, let alone guide the new emperor to solve the mystery.
"Are you really capable or are you taking advantage of others?"
If it is the former, the new emperor hopes that Zhang Xuezhou can show his true ability to meet him.
He failed to get any inspiration from Wei Qing, but the fortune teller might be able to bring some possible help.
If the latter is the case, Xintei feels that this kind of scammer deserves to stay in the cemetery for the rest of his life.
