Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 8 Planting a Seed

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Although Liu Ming knew in his heart that neither Zhang Rang nor Zhao Zhong was a good person, this feeling was better than Jian Shuo who kept asking you to do this and not do that with a cold face. Much more comfortable.

Besides, these two people are still here to make you happy.

"Of course I haven't forgotten it." Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Liu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to get close to the two beauties yesterday, but Jian Shuo was with me, alas..."

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at each other, and they both saw confusion and shock in each other's eyes.

Zhao Zhong looked around cautiously, then stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Did old thief Jian Shuo do something treasonous?"

"Alas, things have changed since he took over the military power." Liu Ming sighed and said, "You two dear friends should know that I am in a difficult situation. Alas, instead of talking about this, let's talk about your interesting things."

thump!
  Zhang Rang knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly, "I haven't seen your Majesty for a long time. I thought that Your Majesty didn't want the slaves anymore. I didn't expect that the thief was bullying you. I waited for the rescue to arrive late. Your Majesty has given orders, and I will try my best." I have to get rid of the thieves in my life!"

Zhao Zhong also knelt down and said with tears: "From now on, I will stay by your Majesty's side day and night. No thieves can touch a hair of Your Majesty unless they step over the corpses of your Majesty."

At this moment, Liu Ming even felt a little moved. But he knew in his heart that this was just a way for eunuchs to gain favor and power.

However, now is when they need to fight like this.

"I already know that Aiqing is loyal, but the thief has already matured. It will take a long time to get rid of him. It requires a long-term plan." Liu Ming's eyes turned red, and he looked moved, and said, "Aiqing also helped me with my plans. , the most important thing now is to place some capable people around me, who can not only ensure my safety, but also be loyal."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely get it done." Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong cried.

"Get up quickly, it will be bad if we are seen by thieves." Liu Ming said, "We need to pretend as if nothing has happened, act quietly, and now eat as planned."

To provoke the two parties to fight, you can't rush for success. I have only been here for two days, and I haven't figured out some things yet, so I should stop lighting the fire in moderation.

Just let them figure it out and handle it. The more you talk, the easier it is for you to reveal your secret. Besides, it is impossible to overthrow Jian Shuo now. He is tied to the Ling Emperor. If you are not careful, your substitute's identity will be exposed. On the contrary, it is not beautiful anymore.

What I said today is just a seed for Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others to prepare secretly, so that they can have something to draw on when they need it, and then it will blossom and bear fruit.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong wiped their tears and stood up.

"Don't look so sad. Smile and continue talking about fun things." Liu Ming said with a smile, pretending to lead each other as confidants.

"Your Majesty can go to the Xiyuan Nude Swimming Pavilion to have a meal. The food and wine will be placed in the swimming pool, and the palace maids and beauties will be waiting on you." Zhang Rang was fascinated and shook his head. "I went to the Xiyuan specifically to do a simulation. Very interesting.”

Liu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, spreading his hands and saying, "Ai Qing, do you think I can still go to the West Garden now? I can't even get out of Changle Palace with the thieves watching."

"What a coward!" Zhao Zhong gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said fiercely, "Sooner or later, you will be cut into pieces."

Zhang Rang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "There is your Majesty's hot spring bath in the back hall of Changle Palace. Although it is smaller than the nude swimming pool, it does not affect the dining in the pool at all. Your Majesty may wish to move over and have a try."

Liu Ming thought for a while, and since Jian Shuo was not here tonight, it wouldn't be a big problem to have Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong accompany him for dinner, and he could also take this opportunity to build up a relationship.

"Okay, I'm going to experience this fun thing now." Liu Ming waved his hand and said, "Lead the way."

No way, Liu Ming himself didn't know there was a hot spring bath at the back of the palace.

The emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was really extravagant. He already had a wooden bathing place, but there was also a pool bath and a hot spring. It was so luxurious that you must experience it. Zhang Rang took Liu Ming to the apse, while Zhao Zhong ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to prepare.

Zhao Zhong was Da Changqiu and the chief eunuch in the palace. Although the maids and eunuchs around Changle Palace were all Jian Shuo's confidants, they did not dare to disobey Zhao Zhong's words and immediately got busy.

Liu Ming came to the back hall and was stunned by the scenery here. The pool was about three feet long and wide. Although it was not as wide as a nude swimming pool, it was almost a small swimming pool.

The water in the pool is steaming with steam and white mist curls up. The water in the pool is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance.

The walls of the pool are lined with milky white jade, inlaid with gold and silver, and carved with dragons and phoenixes, showing a luxurious and noble atmosphere.

At this time, Zhang Rang came with several palace maids, carrying trays, wine, meals, fruits, etc. in his hands.

Put the wooden tray into the pool, float it on the water, and then carefully arrange the food and wine on the plate.

"This servant is here to help His Majesty change his clothes." Two palace maids wearing thin gauze clothes came forward and said respectfully.

Liu Ming felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He looked around and found that he didn't see a dressing room. It was impossible to have a swimsuit in this era. If he wanted to take it off, he would just take it off.

It was really a bit uncomfortable to strip naked in front of so many men and women.

"That's all, just do as the Romans do. I'm a substitute for a foolish emperor." Liu Ming had no choice but to stretch out his arms and let the palace maid help him undress.

Hey - when the two palace ladies straightened up, Liu Ming noticed that they were actually the two young palace ladies who bathed with him last night. One was draped in a green gauze, the other was in a white gauze, with slim and protruding figures.

It seems that they are specially serving the emperor to take a bath.

I looked everywhere for them just now but couldn't find them. It turns out they are here. As the saying goes, one guest never bothers two hosts, so just let them continue to accompany you.

After taking off his cumbersome clothes, Liu Ming stepped into the hot spring bath with the support of the two palace maids, Qing and Bai. The water temperature was a little hot, but after getting used to it, the pores all over his body opened and he felt extremely comfortable.

Liu Ming was sitting on a step made of white jade, leaning against the pool wall. The water in the hot spring pool reached his chest. Two women pushed the wooden tray on the water in front of Liu Ming. One was serving wine and the other was picking up food.

"This servant serves your majesty for dinner." The woman in green gauze said softly, then picked up a piece of meat and brought it to Liu Ming's mouth.

Liu Ming opened his mouth to catch it and ate it. He felt that the fiber of the meat was very thick, chewy and had a unique taste, so he asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

"This is tiger meat from Mang Mountain." Qingsha woman said, "It is said that men who eat it can be as ferocious as dragons and tigers."

"Your Majesty, please drink this wine." The woman in white gauze brought the gold bottle to Liu Ming's mouth and said, "This is deer blood and wolfberry wine. It is said that men drink it to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang."

Liu Ming: "..."

The two dead eunuchs thought that I died slowly, right? It was a great tonic.

No wonder Emperor Ling was so licentious. Although there were reasons of his own, it must also be related to the constant encouragement from his attendants.

How could he endure it when a beautiful woman was by his side and he was eating such a shabby food?
  After all, there are only a few men in this world who can sit still.
