Xia Dongyue regarded Liu Xiaoyan as her biological mother who was not related by blood. The fifteen-year-old girl is still a mess.
How can there be love without reason in the world? If you weren't going to be the queen, Liu Xiaoyan, the veteran in the ladies' circle in the capital, might not even bother to look at you.
Let's say that Xia Dongyue is about to go south to worship his ancestors. Early this morning, Chang Feng came to Jinyiwei.
Gu Dayong has been waiting for Chang Feng in the check-in room for a while.
Although Gu Dayong is the direct supervisor of Dongchang Governor and Chang Feng. But when he saw Chang Feng, he was very polite: "Master Chang."
Chang Feng asked: "The Governor is so early. Is there something wrong?"
Gu Dayong said: "The emperor has a big thing for you to handle."
Chang Feng thought it was some military and national event. He said: "Duke, please speak."
Gu Dayong said with a smile: "The emperor likes to visit privately incognito. But every time he leaves the palace incognito, the civil servants spit foam eight feet high."
"The emperor has come up with a plan that has both ends. It allows you to enjoy the pleasure of private visits incognito, but at the same time, you won't be scolded by civil servants."
Chang Feng asked: "Oh? What's the best solution?"
Gu Dayong cleared his throat: "The Emperor has decided. Open a trading street in Xiyuan. It will have all kinds of stalls, restaurants, teahouses, brothels, and shops."
"For the sake of authenticity. Whether it's the vendors on the street, the guys, or the women in the brothel, all are played by people outside the palace. At least 500 people must be brought into the palace!"
Chang Feng frowned: "Absolutely not! There are a hundred people of all kinds, let alone five hundred? If you bring five hundred traffickers and pawns into the palace, there might be assassins with ulterior motives lurking inside."
"What if someone assassinates the king and kills the driver?"
"The emperor thought of the addiction of doing business, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace could pretend to be traders."
Gu Dayong said: "The emperor has said that there is no point in pretending. Come and be serious. Are you afraid that there are treacherous people among the peddlers? The emperor has already thought of this and asked you to be responsible for screening and selecting the people in the market."
Emperor Zhengde wanted to play super house.
Chang Feng thought this was inappropriate. The king of a country should look like the king of a country. Your Majesty, you like shooting and hunting, which means you are martial, which is a good thing. Your Majesty, you like to pay private visits incognito, which shows that you are willing to understand the public sentiment, which is also a good thing.
Can you recruit a group of peddlers and pawns into the palace to open a trading street? what is this? Also, why does the shopping street need to have teahouses, restaurants, and even brothels?
Although Xiyuan is a side palace, it is also part of the imperial palace. In which dynasty and generation did a brothel open in the palace? If the great grandfather of Xiaoling knew about it, his nose would bleed, no, the coffin boards wouldn't even be able to hold it down!
Since Emperor Zhengde came to the throne, Chang Feng has been obedient to his orders.
This time, Chang Feng went against Emperor Zhengde's wishes for the first time: "Duke Gong, please tell the emperor that Chang Feng will never obey his orders."
Gu Dayong frowned: "Master Chang Shuai, you have always been loyal to the emperor. Why are you not willing to do such a small thing for the emperor?"
Chang Feng said: "Duke, the palace is a sacred place. How can there be any reason to introduce a group of traffickers into the palace and turn the palace into a market?"
"If this matter is recorded in history books, how will future generations evaluate the emperor thousands of years later?"
"If I had done this according to the emperor's wishes, I would have been labeled a 'sycophant' by historians."
Gu Dayong was a little unhappy: "It's not as serious as you said, right? The emperor just wants to try out what it's like to run a small business in the palace. This can be considered as understanding the sentiments of the people!"
Chang Feng held up his hands: "Governor, it is extremely difficult for Chang Feng to obey his orders in this matter. You'd better ask the emperor to hire another Gao Ming."
Gu Dayong said: "Master Chang, if we take it seriously, you are resisting the imperial decree! But your relationship with the emperor is unusual. If you are unwilling to do this, the emperor will not pursue it."
"Then I will find someone else to take care of this matter. Jinyiwei not only has you as the governor, but also a commander!"
After saying that, Gu Dayong left Chang Feng's room and turned to find Qian Ning.
Qian would rather not have Chang Feng's awareness. He regarded serving Emperor Zhengde well as his first step towards promotion.
Qian Ning immediately ordered a thousand brothers. Went to the streets and arrested thousands of traffickers and lackeys.
Jin Yiwei was lively now. Those selling fried cypress, those knitting straw sandals, and those performing tricks. All kinds of small traders and hawkers filled the Jinyiwei School Ground.
There were even more than fifty fireworks girls from Yihonglou in the school grounds.
Yihong Building is Jin Yiwei’s designated place for recreation. The boss is Sai Tanghong, and the shareholders are Xu Guangzuo and the Zhang brothers. Xu Guangzuo was also brother-in-law with the Zhang brothers, and they both slept with Sai Tanghong.
Emperor Zhengde's oral edict stated that there should be a brothel in the shopping street. Qian Ning immediately thought of Yihonglou, so he went to Yihonglou to pick out fifty prostitutes and brought them to the school grounds.
As the boss, Sai Tanghong also came over.
Sai Tanghong, who was forty-four years old at the time, can be said to be a mature woman, but her charm is still there. In the jargon of Beijing Fireworks Liudi, she is an "old white lotus root".
Qian Ning stood on the general stage in the school field and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be afraid! The reason why the Jin Yiwei arrested you is not because you have committed any crime. If you commit a crime, there is no need for the Jin Yiwei to take action."
"That's what happened. The emperor plans to open a trading street in Da Nei Xiyuan. Let's find some people to do business there. To put it bluntly, everyone is working together to make the emperor and his old man happy."
"Those who are willing to enter the palace, come here and sign on the register, and write down your name, livelihood, and place of origin. We, the Jinyi Guards, will check. If you are clean, you can enter the palace to do business!"
These traders and pawns are all happy to go to the palace to do business.
Whether you can make money or not is another matter. At least I can brag to my descendants in the future: "Grandpa, I used to set up a street stall in the palace."
The more than fifty girls in Yihong Building were all enthusiastic. If the emperor falls in love with him and has a feast with the emperor, then the little pheasant will turn into a golden phoenix!
More than fifty girls rushed to the account-recording house, ready to sign and enter the book. But Sai Tanghong blocked his way.
Sai Tanghong scolded them: "A bunch of wishful thinking wanderers, are you worthy of entering the palace? Stand here for me. Whoever dares to sign the book, I will break their wandering legs!"
After saying this, Sai Tanghong walked up to Qian Ning and said, "Master Qian, we at Yihong Mansion cannot handle this matter. We are the lowest of the lowly people. We are neither clean nor ominous."
"If we enter the palace and ruin the feng shui of the palace, we will be a disaster for the country and the people!"
Qian Ning advised Sai Tanghong: "Boss Sai. I saw that we have a good personal relationship on weekdays, and I thought of you Yihonglou, so I found you."
Qian Ning was quite respectful to Sai Tanghong.
After all, Sai Tanghong now lives in Duke Dingguo's mansion. Although he has no status, he takes care of the housework for Fatty Xu.
Besides, Sai Tanghong had an affair with two of his uncles, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.
Not to mention, when Qian Ning was still a vigorous twenty-year-old young man, he was also taught the 18-way leg kick by Sister Sai.
Sai Tanghong said: "Yihonglou really can't handle this matter."
Qian Ning was helpless: "Okay, then I'll look for another brothel."
At this moment, Chang Feng strode up to Qian Ning: "Other traffickers and lackeys are easy to talk about, but women from brothels must not be brought into the palace!"
Qian Ning said: "Master Handsome, the emperor has a decree."
Chang Feng asked Qian Ning sternly: "Do you want the emperor to create hundreds or even thousands of brothers-in-law in the capital out of thin air?"
Qian Ning was stunned. Chang Feng was right. We can't let the emperor become a brother-in-law with a group of female ticket holders.
Chang Feng pointed the way to Qian Ning: "Let's do this. The emperor's instructions cannot be violated. There must be a brothel on the shopping street. But the brothel girl can be played by the bed-warming maid in the palace."
"In this way, even if the emperor has a whim, he will not become a brother-in-law with anyone."
