Zhao Wenhua thought for a while and realized that this was really not possible. Even if Shi Zhenxiang was willing, the guests might not be willing to waste their points on him.
"Isn't it a brothel? Chunyan Tower is not the only brothel in the capital! Originally, it was because he wanted to win over Eunuch Chen that Tan Xinren became a shareholder of Chunyan Tower.
Now it seems that Eunuch Chen seems to be neutral, but he is obviously leaning towards Xiao Feng's side! In this case, we don’t have to worry!
I went back to Donglou to discuss that we would also support a brothel and engage in joint operations. In short, we will do whatever they do!
If the enemy is full of tricks, the best way is not to think of ways to break the moves, but to follow the opponent's moves, and ultimately determine the outcome based on strength!
How much money Zhang Tianci and Xiao Feng have combined, they just made some money through debt-for-equity swaps! With the strength of our strict party officials, if we unite together, I don't believe we can't kill them! "
Shi Zhenxiang's eyes lit up. The reason he had been complaining to Zhao Wenhua was because he hoped to get this result. Originally Yan Shifan was a better target to complain to, but Yan Shifan has been recuperating behind closed doors recently.
Moreover, after the defeat of the Liu clan, Yan Shifan was also hit. It seemed that his mind was no longer on the dispute between Taibaiju and Zuixianlou. To use the fashionable saying of later generations, Yan Shifan gave up on the matter.
But Shi Zhenxiang couldn't let it go, the conscience of heaven and earth, all the funds Liu Xia used to bribe the election were provided by Shi Zhenxiang. In the whole process, Yan Shifan only produced one Bliss Pill!
Shi Zhenxiang hid his excitement and intelligence in his heart, and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and being baptized by Zhao Wenhua's words. If you are unfamiliar with this expression, please refer to Section Chief Ma.
"Ah~~~Ah! Mr. Zhao is right! Mr. Zhao, please worry about this matter. As long as we defeat Liu Ruyun and defeat Zuixian Tower, I will personally keep enough of the profits from Zuixian Tower. part!"
Zhao Wenhua was very happy. He felt that within one day, he had first defeated Xiao Feng, and then came up with such an awesome idea. It seemed that he was much smarter than originally thought, but he had been suppressed by Yan Shifan and was unable to use it. That’s all!
Just when Zhao Wenhua was full of ambition, Yan Song, who had just returned home from duty and had just picked up the wine glass, was summoned by Jiajing.
Yan Song was suspicious in his heart. He didn't know what he was asked to do if Jiajing didn't practice Taoism well at this time, but he quickly put down his wine glass and ran to Xiyuan to meet the saint.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Jiajing having a meal with a dull face. Originally, this time was the time to eat, and Yan Song didn't know what kind of wind Jiajing was having.
"Yan Aiqing is here, Huang Ban, give me some food."
Huang Jin had already prepared it and placed several dishes on a newly added table, and Yan Song felt relieved.
It seems that it’s not fun to eat alone in Long Live, so I think of my old friend here. This is an honor earned by kings and ministers in times of trouble!
Yan Song thanked him happily, then picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat, when Huang Jin smiled and poured him a glass of wine. Yan Song quickly thanked him again and then picked up the wine glass.
"Long live the banquet, I am so grateful that I can't help but wish you long live and long life with this wine..."
Um? Why is the aroma of this wine so familiar? Yan Song's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the color of the wine and secretly took a sip. His face suddenly turned pale.
Isn't this the Baihua Xianjiu that I just wanted to drink at home? He secretly looked at Jiajing's table and saw that there was no wine glass.
"Yan Aiqing, this is Baihua Xianjiu that someone donated. It is said that it not only has various nourishing effects, but is also beneficial to spiritual practice. I am reluctant to drink it myself, so I specially summoned Aiqing to drink it with me."
Yan Song had at least 360 thoughts running through his mind at this moment, and even weighed the pros and cons of each thought, and then he slowly put down his wine glass.
"Long live this wine, it really has a floral fragrance and a refreshing taste. It is indeed a good wine, but the medicinal aroma is too strong.
Although I like to have a drink, I suffered from a serious illness in my prime. Although I recovered properly and was able to return to the court to serve Long Live, I am extremely cautious about medicine and bait.
I should drink this kind of medicinal wine today as a long-lived blessing. If it were at home, I would not drink it. I would rather drink some light wine. "
Jiajing's eyes opened slightly: "Oh? So, Zhao Wenhua didn't offer you the Hundred Flowers Fairy Wine?"
When Yan Song said the previous words, he was already ready for the next answer. Although Zhao Wenhua didn't make a big deal about delivering wine, he couldn't bet that Jiajing wouldn't know about it.
Because of the Jinyi Guards, if Lu Bing knew about this matter, he might treat it as a trivial matter and not report it. But if Jiajing asked directly, Lu Bing would never hide it for the Yan family. Yan Song was self-aware of this.
So Yan Song chose the most reliable explanation: "Long live, Zhao Wenhua did once give me Baihua Fairy Wine. I thought of him sincerely and it was not a valuable thing, so I accepted it.
However, I didn't like drinking medicinal wine, so I gave this wine to Xiao'er Shifan. He drank it often, but according to him, although it had some meaning of replenishing qi, it was of little use after all. "
Okay, that's enough. Regardless of whether the wine was good or bad, Comrade Zhao Wenhua's statement that Yan Song would always be strong by drinking this wine was directly rejected by Yan Song.
However, Yan Song still left a way for Zhao Wenhua to survive: that is, he did not say that Zhao Wenhua knew about this, so Zhao Wenhua was not deceiving the emperor, it could only be said to be a misunderstanding.
If Yan Song directly said that he told Zhao Wenhua that if he didn't drink the wine, Yan Shifan drank it, then Zhao Wenhua was blatantly deceiving Jiajing. Even if he didn't kill the Nine Clan, he wouldn't be able to get away with beheading.
Jiajing nodded and said nothing more. Yan Song was not satisfied with the meal. When Jiajing put down his chopsticks, he immediately put them down and thanked him again and again.
After leaving Xiyuan, Yan Song sat in the sedan and shook his clothes soaked with cold sweat. The fear and anger he had been suppressing suddenly burst out.
"Go back home! Send someone to call Zhao Wenhua!"
Zhao Wenhua had enough to eat and drink at Taibaiju, and dressed in casual clothes, he went to inspect Baihua Building. Baihua Tower is one of the four famous buildings in Beijing. Although it is slightly inferior to Chunyan Tower, it is equally beautiful.
More importantly, although Baihualou is a brothel, its backstage is not Eunuch Chen, but Dongchang.
Historically, during the Jiajing Dynasty, one person was in charge of Si Li and Dongchang. This person was named Mai Fu, who was the most powerful eunuch before Huang Jin came to power.
But before and after Xiao Feng traveled through time, the situation changed slightly. Mai Fu reported illness and retired early, so Chen Hong, the second in command, took over as the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
However, since Jiajing regarded Chen Hong as a mascot and the real power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies was given to Huang Jin, it was even less possible to hand over the management of the East Factory to Chen Hong.
You must know that the former Dongchang was a more powerful being than Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei had always suffered under the power of Dongchang. This made all previous Jinyiwei commanders unconvinced.
You are also working for the same boss, so why is Dongchang better than Jinyiwei? Just because you're gone?
The boss of Dongchang nodded: Yes, just because I’m gone! So the emperor trusts me more! Not convinced? If you're not convinced, let's switch! I would rather be a royal guard, as long as you can give me back what I lost!
But the Jinyiwei during the Jiajing period were not afraid of Dongchang, and even overpowered him. The reason was actually because of Lu Bing. Although Lu Bing was subordinate, Jiajing's trust in him was more eunuch than eunuch.
Even so, Dongchang was still a force that could not be ignored. After much deliberation, Jiajing decided that it would be difficult to manage if it were left to Huang Jin, who would serve him all day long, so he simply handed it over to another trusted eunuch: Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan was the godson of Zhang Yong, the great eunuch of the former dynasty. Because Zhang Yong had eradicated the great eunuch Liu Jin, Jiajing had a good impression of him, and Zhang Yong was employed in the eighth year of Jiajing.
Unfortunately, Comrade Zhang Yong only fought at his post for one year before passing away from illness. However, his godson Zhang Yuan continued to gain Jiajing's trust. He was promoted step by step, and finally, when Maifu retired due to illness and Jiajing decentralized power, he was lucky enough to become the factory owner of Dongchang.
Knowing that Dongchang and Si Lijian once had a common boss, it is not surprising why there is a brothel industry under Dongchang's name. It is a question left over from history.
Moreover, Zhang Yuan had great foresight. After taking charge of Dongchang, he told Baihualou not to buy more people from the Jiaofang Division. Because the people in the Jiaofang Division were directly under the jurisdiction of the Director of Ceremonies, and those who used the Jiaofang Division were inseparable from Chen Hong's control. 33
Therefore, the women in Baihua House were basically criminal slaves captured by Dongchang, or bought from the private sector. The deeds of sale were all in Dongchang, not in the ceremonial prison. It is actually a bit illegal for sin slaves not to go through the Jiaofang Division, but Dongchang still has this respect.
Therefore, although Baihualou was nominally a brothel and was still under the management of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, in fact it was beyond the reach of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Zhao Wenhua is a third-grade official. Even if he wears casual clothes, he can't hide it from Dongchang, who is well-informed. Moreover, he had no intention of hiding anything from Dongchang. He only wore casual clothes to give some face to the censors who liked to impeach officials.
Therefore, when Zhao Wenhua was just sitting in the elegant room of Baihualou, holding the girl in his arms and drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Yuan had already walked in from the back door. Under the leadership of his mother Huanu, he walked into the elegant room and saluted Zhao Wenhua. .
"Mr. Zhao is so elegant. Why do you think of patronizing Dongchang's business today?"
Zhao Wenhua smiled and said: "If I don't come here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet the factory owner. I can't go into the East Factory to meet the factory owner for no reason."
Zhang Yuanyuan and Zhao Wenhua wanted to drive away the girl who was accompanying him and waved his hand: "That's not necessary. If Mr. Zhao has anything to say, just say it. I guarantee that not a word will be spread outside the Baihua Building."
Zhao Wenhua thought to himself, it's not because I'm afraid of leaking the secret. I think it's not a basic courtesy not to hug a girl in front of a eunuch.
But seeing that Zhang Yuan didn't care, he stopped insisting and took the time to get down to business.
"Mr. Factory, although I have always had little contact with the Factory Gong to avoid suspicion, I know that the relationship between the Factory Gong and the Chief Assistant is good."
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and was noncommittal. The Yan Party was powerful, and Yan Song and Jiajing were old friends. Even Lu Bing had to stay friendly. Zhang Yuan was not a chaste and martyr woman, and of course she had many interests in collusion with Yan Party officials.
Apart from anything else, among the people arrested by Dongchang over the years, almost none of them were members of the strict party, and almost all of them were people who were against the strict party. Strict Party officials have money, backing, and nice words, so why do they want to arrest them?
Those stinky and tough poor people impeach the strict party at every turn. If the impeachment was minor, Yan Song would just remember it in his heart, and he would have to wear small shoes later. If the impeachment was serious, even if Yan Song could bear it, Yan Shifan would naturally find a crime to kill him.
For the crime of Luo Zhi, Jin Yiwei was originally more suitable. Unfortunately, Lu Bing was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Zhang Yuan's bottom line is much lower, and Yan Shifan often seeks cooperation with Zhang Yuan.
Therefore, at this time, Zhao Wenhua, as the iron triangle of the Yan Party and Yan Song's non-inherited son, is naturally qualified to express his position on behalf of the Yan Party.
"Mr. Factory, we are going to cooperate again. This time, I hope to use Baihua Tower to defeat Chunyan Tower!
In this way, not only will Dongchang be able to dominate the Huanchang business in Beijing, but you will also be able to show your ability to be stronger than Chen Hong! "
Some people died, but not completely...
