The sacred capital of the Sui Dynasty.
The autumn wind is like a knife, with a sense of awe.
As the sun rises, the golden light shines on the well-proportioned eaves, making the city look even more majestic.
There are a wide variety of shops on both sides of the wide street, and the streets and alleys are overcrowded. The level of prosperity can be said to be unprecedented in Jiang Wang's life.
The prime minister drove through it. The carriage was quite spacious and even had a bed.
Jiang Wang looked at Chen Chongjin, who was sitting on the couch, and Chen Chongjin also looked at Jiang Wang, who was sitting diagonally opposite.
It was Chen Chongjin who was the first to speak: "I have heard that Mr. Jiang's appearance is extraordinary, and seeing him today is even better than I imagined. I originally thought that no matter how good-looking Mr. Jiang is, he would be weaker than me. Now I have to admit that you are better-looking than me."
Jiang Wang's mouth twitched slightly.
Chen Chongjin did have a very handsome face, not as feminine as Bai Xueyi. No wonder when he just opened the curtain, the young ladies on the street screamed. Jiang Wang suddenly recalled that his father Jiang Qi seemed to have once He is also known as the most handsome man in the city of God.
Although Tang Tang thinks he is better looking than Jiang Qi, he just doesn't rely on his face to make a living.
In Jiang Wang's memory, Jiang Qi's face was full of stubble, and he never modified it. Even though he still had a handsome face, he couldn't say it was too good-looking. It can only be said that time is not forgiving. If you use his own face to interpret it, Jiang Qi was as young as The most beautiful man in the city of God, there is no problem.
So Chen Chongjin said that he liked it better, and Jiang Wang nodded and admitted.
Chen Chongjin fell into silence for a long time.
He looked at the sister who was rummaging around in the carriage and said in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, why are you bringing a baby with you when you are here? Could it be your daughter? She looks like a beautiful woman. Take a closer look and you will see that it is indeed the same as the baby. Mr. Jiang is very similar."
Jiang Wang twitched the corner of his mouth again, how did you see that we two look alike?
Chen Chongjin looked at the frail Tan Jinghao and Xiao Yu, who had cold eyes and looked like he should keep away from strangers. He grinned and said, "It seems that Mr. Jiang is also of the same kind. This time, Mr. Jiang will be satisfied."
Jiang Wangsan twitched his lips and asked tentatively: "You said you can catch the wind and wash away the dust. Where is it?"
Chen Chongjin waved his hand, "This is the best place to listen to music in Goulan, Jiaofangsi!"
Jiang Wangzheng said solemnly: "I have read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly since I was a child. I am an upright person. Even if I am beaten to death, I will never listen to music!"
...
In the Jiaofang Department, Jiang Wang looked at the scene in front of him and sighed: "It deserves to be the capital of the gods. It's so insightful."
Of course, Tan Jinghao and Xiaoyu did not follow, but it was also because the two women believed in Jiang Wang. Although Sister A wanted to take a look, Tan Jinghao pulled her away and asked them to accompany her to find the man in Shendu. uncle.
Jiaofangsi is naturally different from ordinary brothels, because the women here are all versatile, and it is not enough to have money. Although there are grades, there are indeed people who can get what they want with money, but who can come to Jiaofangsi? Point of identity?
They don't look down on these at all, and they just like those who can't be knocked down with money.
It's just that they don't have the skills to succeed. They can't pass the five levels and kill the six generals. They can only look at the plum blossoms to quench their thirst. But even if they just throw away money and get nothing, these people still enjoy it.
After all, being favored by the oiran is a matter of dignity among people of the same profession, so there are countless people who pretend to be serious.
Needless to say, the purpose of coming to Jiaofang to sleep with the oiran, but on the surface, he wants to crush the other heroes, proudly become the guest of the oiran, and enjoy the admiration of everyone.
What Jiang Wang saw was that various games such as teapot throwing and tea circling were being performed, and girls were playing music and dancing. The overall atmosphere was more like a high-class gathering of nobles and wealthy businessmen.
But Chen Chongjin didn't cover up at all. As soon as he sat there carelessly, the prime minister had already called the steward of the Jiaofang Department. Wang had to wonder whether Chen Chongjin was the prince?
In fact, Chen Chongjin's singing and listening to music is not uncommon among gods. Even if he is a prince, the Holy Father doesn't care about it, which means he is not qualified to compete for the throne. Except for some dandy boys who hang out with Chen Chongjin, officials of all sizes don't care much about Chen Chongjin. Heavy
Brocade.
Although some officials once still had high expectations for Chen Chongjin, over time, they saw that the fourth prince had nothing to do except hook up and listen to music, so how could they waste any more time getting close to him?
But whether they all really disdain Chen Chongjin, naturally only they know best, at least on the surface they disdain to be with him.
Chen Chongjin glanced at the people around him and smiled at Jiang Wang: "The oirans of the Jiaofang Department have their own private courtyards. Just entering the hospital and chatting behind the curtain costs ten taels of silver. If you want to remove the curtain and chat face to face, Then it will cost thirty taels of silver, and if you want to do something else, it cannot be measured by silver."
Jiang Wang said calmly: "It seems you are familiar with this place?"
Chen Chongjin waved his hand and said: "No, I don't come to Jiaofangsi very often, but Mr. Jiang wants to become a guest of a courtesan. With your face, it is quite easy. Some courtesans like handsome men. There is no need for any other skills to set it off."
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Imagine that with this face, you already have many oirans sleeping with you?"
Chen Chongjin said modestly: "There are not many oirans who are good-looking, and they are all the poorer-looking oirans. The number one oiran in the Jiaofang Division, the guest of the red-sleeved girl, must be proficient in chess, music, calligraphy and painting, and even more so." Only if you can amaze the girl with red sleeves can you be qualified."
"Miss Red Sleeves is already well versed in this. There are few scholars in Yuyuan Academy who can surpass her. Therefore, Miss Red Sleeves's entry into the curtain is the most eagerly watched. Everyone wants to be one, but no one has ever won it. , even I can only stay away."
Chen Chongjin continued: "Mr. Jiang, there is no need to be discouraged. There is a long way to go. Today, let's focus on the other oirans. Even if the Jiaofangsi is a little worse in appearance, compared to other oirans in brothels, they are like the sun and the moon." difference."
When Jiang Wang was weak in the past, he always wanted to listen to music. But when he was not tired, he was not that interested. What's more, when he first arrived in the divine capital, he couldn't relax physically and mentally, and a certain string was still stretched.
So he did not respond to Chen Chongjin's words.
Instead, he used Chen Chongjin to inquire about the situation in Shendu.
I don’t know if Chen Chongjin is really stupid or pretending to be stupid. It can be said that he knows everything and talks about everything.
Even if a high-ranking official had several concubines, they would all come together like treasures.
There are also all kinds of amazing secrets.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but lament that he was really learning all the time.
At the same time in the East Palace.
Chen Chongjin took Jiang Wang, who had just entered the city, to the Jiaofang Division, and Prince Chen Futu got the news immediately.
Everyone in the world knew that Chen Chongjin was incompetent, and even his father seemed to have given up on him completely and ignored him. However, Chen Futu never really regarded his fourth brother as a fool. But having said that, Chen Chongjin managed to make his father dislike him. Is it too much?
Or is he pretending to be so stupid that he even believes it?
In any case, Chen Futu didn't believe that Chen Chongjin really couldn't see the current situation, so what was the purpose of contacting Jiang Wang so urgently?
Mei Zongji, like ordinary people, looked down upon Chen Chongjin and thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was overthinking. From Chen Chongjin's dandy eyes, there was no problem with this move.
But he did not directly dissuade His Highness from thinking too much. After all, this matter has been mentioned before. It is His Highness's character to be thoughtful in doing things. If Chen Chongjin really has a second face secretly, it is not a bad thing to be on guard early, and vice versa.
"Jiang Wang can easily kill more than a dozen demon kings. Since the last time we saw him, his strength is completely different. Even if we compare his performance in the two dynasties, he is much stronger. This is obviously against common sense. No matter how qualified he is, High, it’s not such an exaggeration.”
Mei Zongji looked solemn and said, "It was the Imperial Master who personally brought Jiang Wang back to the capital of the gods. What does His Highness think this means?"
Chen Futu said calmly: "There is no need to say why the demon trouble in the city of gods arises. Judging from the current situation, it is more like deliberately testing something. It seems to be related to the righteous god, but it made such a big movement, suddenly and carelessly In the end, my father must have gotten more information."
He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "If the fourth brother is because of that righteous god and relying on the bad reputation he has gained in the city of gods, he will
He claimed that no one would care about him before he dared to contact Jiang Wang in the first place. That would make sense, but this move was for the future, not the present. This would only make his father more disgusted. "
Having said that, Chen Futu thought of more.
That was the father's determination to kill Jiang Wang. Whether he could ignore the existence of the Zhengshen, and the origin of that Zhengshen was very crucial. But unless Jiang Wang could overthrow the Sui Dynasty, he would only live longer, so he didn't think so. Chen Chongjin's move was stupid, but very bold.
No one can tell clearly what the final result will be, whether to act cautiously or to take risks. In fact, there is no right or wrong, it just depends on luck.
But Jiang Wang's future cannot represent the present. When the time comes, Chen Futu believes that his father will spare no effort to get rid of him.
Chen Futu thought for a moment and decided that the best way at the moment was not to have too much contact with Jiang Wang, but not to become Jiang Wang's enemy.
Although he had once plotted against Jiang Wang, it was harmless. As long as it was not a blood feud, there were ways to resolve it.
In the final analysis, Chen Futu did not think Jiang Wang could really overthrow the Sui Dynasty in the future.
Even if Jiang Wang had an immortal standing behind him, he still couldn't do it.
Compared to this, Chen Futu was more concerned about Li Shenyuan, who was actively accepted as a disciple by the imperial master.
There is no doubt about Li Shenyuan's Confucianism and Taoism qualifications to be able to achieve this level of imperial master.
And in a certain way, Li Shenyuan is directly the same generation as his father.
Although no one among the Emperor's disciples really regarded their father as a senior brother or junior brother, the matter itself was not controversial.
Chen Futu looked at Mei Zongji and said, "Li Shenyuan seems to be the daughter of Deputy City Lord Ye of Wutiao City, right?"
Mei Zongji understood what His Highness meant, nodded and said: "The Lord of Shenshou Pavilion, Ganli, is watching Wutiao City. He will record any movements and present them to the palace, and the East Palace will also get a share. The Deputy City Lord treats his daughter He is both stern and doting, and I guess he is also good at formations."
