There is a pavilion in the east garden of Shouyang Gongfu, with an octagonal eaves, named Wangqiu. Sitting in winter and forgetting autumn, in this midwinter moment, the pavilion is filled with the charming charm of spring.
The space in the pavilion is very large, with green gauze tents, gold cups and jade dishes, full of luxury. Inside, there is a sea of orioles and swallows, enchanting in beauty, a pavilion filled with pink and pink, and a total of six concubines and beautiful maids. Two women were accompanying them on both sides. On the left side of the pavilion, two people were playing the harp and playing the flute. In front of the pavilion, one person was singing and the other was dancing...
The person in the center is of course the owner of the palace, Li Shaoyou. Good wine, delicious food, singing and dancing are all to his liking. Her mouth was glossy, she was extremely slutty, her face was rosy, and she was full of lust. She put her hands on the two beauties who were clinging to her, wantonly...
Full of "appreciative" eyes, lingering on the graceful figures dancing in front of the pavilion. For Li Shaoyou, the art of singing and dancing has never been about singing and dancing. His focus has always been on beauties.
It was bitterly cold in the depths of winter, but both Li Shaoyou and his concubines were wearing thin clothes. Li Shaoyou exposed his breasts, while the beauties only covered their bodies with light gauze skirts, almost an "uncovered little party." Of course, there are stoves and coal burning around the pavilion to prevent the cold from invading the body.
Li Shaoyou has always loved beauties and the beauty of fishermen. Now he is famous in the court and even in Tokyo, and Li Shaoyou has never avoided taboos. Today, there are nearly thirty charming wives and concubines in his residence, which is almost ten times the number of famous concubines in the palace.
Obscene words and words rippled through the pavilions and echoed in the garden. Li Shaoyou couldn't stand the temptation of this full pavilion, and there was no need to endure it. Soon, the fragrance of the winter pavilion added a bit of spring...
Until the day moved westward, after taking a bath and putting on a warm and luxurious velvet robe, Li Shaoyou stepped barefoot into the carpet-covered hall. When he entered the door, he paused for a moment, but a numbness hit his back from his waist. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he muttered: "It's better to exercise restraint..."
Only in this sage moment can Li Shaoyou regain his usual alertness. Of course, knowing his mistakes but not correcting them is the consistent style of people like him. However, judging from the strange look on his face, he probably won't do this often in the future.
"Mr. Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Li Shaoyou just stood in front of the case and took care of official business for a while, and then the steward announced at the door.
"How long has he been waiting?" Li Shaoyou asked casually.
"One and a half hours!" the steward said.
Li Shaoyou's handsome face showed a little playfulness, and he murmured: "This person is quite patient."
"Take him into the hall!"
The "houduzhi" as the official said, was named Houzan. He was the governor of the Gyeonggi Province under the Wude Department. He was in charge of the supervision and investigation in the Gyeonggi area and had considerable power. This man came from a humble background and worked in various positions. Finally, he was lucky enough to ride on Liu Zhiyuan's chariot to reach the sky. He was promoted to the throne with his chickens and dogs. After the rise of Han Dynasty, he was worshiped as the Flying Dragon Envoy.
However, because there was no one in the court and his talents and virtues were not obvious, he never had the opportunity to be promoted. He gradually became one of the many redundant officials in the Han Dynasty. If there was no opportunity, I am afraid that he would always be forgotten in the corner of the court, or even uncertain. One day even the position of Flying Dragon Envoy will be lost.
Born out of poverty and lowliness, they are not willing to fall back into poverty and lowliness, so they climb up and hold authority. This is the motivation for people like Hou Zan to work hard. After much effort, he was able to establish a relationship with Li Ye, the envoy of Nanyuan, Xuanhui, his uncle. After several rounds of flattery, he was recommended to Wu Desi.
Although Li Shaoyou had never thought highly of his brother-in-law, he did not dare not give him face and accepted Hou Zan, thinking that Wu Desi would marry him. But after contacting him later, Li Shaoyou discovered that Hou Zan had a shallow knowledge and a mouse-like gaze, but he was quite capable in working with the supervisors and Luo Zhi.
Moreover, this person is very aware of current affairs and can easily get ahead in a government office like Wudesi. Although they are villains, pigs and dogs still have their functions, and what is more, they are praised later. These are Li Shaoyou's original words. When Houzan heard it, he didn't feel humiliated, but excited, calling him his confidant, at least, that's how it seemed on the surface...
Sure enough, people make the best use of their talents. As Wu Desi gradually grew, Houzan made many achievements, and his information was swift and effective. His name even reached the ears of the emperor. Therefore, he smoothly became the emperor. The martial arts department is known to everyone in Gyeonggi Province.
Soon, a short figure appeared in front of the hall. He carefully observed the situation in the hall, then gently took off his boots and placed them neatly in front of the threshold before cautiously stepping into the hall. Noticing an obvious speck of dust falling on the carpet, I naturally bent down and brushed it gently with the sleeves of my official robe, just like wiping a rare treasure...
After cleaning up, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Duke!"
"Get up!" Li Shaoyou put down the documents in his hands and couldn't help but yawned and said casually.
"Thank you, Duke!"
"Everyone knows it's been a long wait!" Li Shaoyao said.
Shaking his head slightly, Hou Zan smiled, cupped his hands and said: "The Duke must have urgent matters to deal with. I haven't heard of the Duke summoning me. No matter how long it takes, it will still be worth the wait."
Of course, Li Shaoyou was busy with "urgent matters," and I believe Hou Zan also knew it. After listening to his words, Li Shaoyou still felt good unconsciously. This post is really interesting.
Li Shaoyou had a panoramic view of Hou Zan's performance when he entered the hall. He glanced at his hands tied in front of his abdomen and said lightly: "The Wude Department is deployed by the imperial court, and the robe is a public uniform. How can we wipe the dust off?" It’s unbecoming! Even though this is in my inner palace, it would be bad if word gets out!”
After hearing what he said, Houzan was shocked, his short figure shrank even more, and said quickly: "I will remember the Duke's teachings and will not dare to do it again!"
"Sit!" Li Shaoyou was very satisfied with his attitude. He stretched out his hand to signal and asked, "What do you want when I come to visit you?"
After hearing the question, he didn't dare to talk in circles. After Zan Fang sat down, he stood up, looked at Li Shaoyou and said: "Back to the Duke, there is news from Hedong that Wang Jingchong is on his way back to Beijing!"
When Wang Jingchong was mentioned, Li Shaoyou's expression immediately changed. Although it was very subtle, it made people feel that it was not very good.
Due to the emperor's mixing of sand everywhere, Wu Desi, after Wang Jingchong, the deputy envoy, came into office, the original situation of being a dominant family was quickly completely broken. Wang Jingchong knew Liu Chengyou's purpose in letting Wang Jingchong join the Wude Division, and Li Shaoyou also knew it in his heart. It was precisely for this reason that he could only watch with his eyes and worry in his heart about some of Wang Jingchong's actions.
Li Shaoyou has a quick mind and a lot of talent, but in terms of experience, knowledge, skills, and methods of doing things, he is still inferior to Wang Jingchong. When it comes to the desire for achievement and the desire to climb for power, they cannot be compared. Therefore, due to various factors, Wude Si Yamen quickly erected a banner with the surname Wang to compete with Li Shaoyou.
What kind of person is Wang Jingchong? Since he was an eagle and dog, he dared to risk his life in order to make progress. He was not too afraid of Li Shaoyou, a relative of the emperor. In contrast, Li Shaoyou was afraid of Risheng when it came to Wang Jingchong. No one can have a good attitude towards a dog that snatches food from his bowl, and this dog may bite him at any time...
"My lord, Wang Jingchong was in Hedong this time. He abandoned Buddhist temples, confiscated wealth, and provided it to the court. He was responsible for the hard work. He quickly put an end to civil unrest in Xin and Dai generations and made great contributions. With such hard work, I am afraid that after he returns to Beijing, He will become more and more aggressive and gain power and force the Duke..." Houzan's eyes flashed and he spoke to Li Shaoyou. Although he was considering him, he still had a bit of provocation.
Li Shaoyou's expression returned to normal, his eyes moved down and fell on Houzan, his eyes revealed his thoughts, and he said calmly: "Hedong sent him, but he succeeded!"
"Wang Jingchong is lucky enough to be a villain. He acts without scruples and relies on His Majesty's favor. He dares not to take the prince in his eyes. His intention to seize power is becoming more and more obvious. The prince has to guard against it!" Hou praised.
Nodding slightly, Li Shaoyou looked at Houzan, twisted his neck, and asked: "I am really afraid of Wang Jingchong. In your opinion, how should I be wary of him?"
"What do you think about sending people pretending to be thieves to intercept and kill him on his way back to Beijing?" Li Shaoyao said with murderous intent in his eyes.
With one sentence, Houzan's face changed drastically, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly advised: "Even if the Duke has such an idea, he must not implement it!"
"Haha..." Li Shaoyou laughed, waved his hands, and his voice turned cold: "I'm just joking to see that I've shocked you. I'm not that stupid!"
