Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 181 Crazy Confrontation! Ming dynasty! It's time to die!

When Zhang Chonghui heard that Emperor Wanli wanted him to help him settle the matter of "sending an imperial edict to sin against oneself," he really fell silent...

How can he help? Are you ghostwriting the emperor's edict? Or help the emperor to fight against the ministers of the previous dynasty?

Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun naturally knew how difficult this matter was. He didn't even know why he was so ill that he rushed to the doctor. He had high hopes for Zhang Chonghui, who had no official position...

"I'm really crazy, I actually thought he could help me..."

Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly in his heart, laughing that he had rushed to seek medical treatment for his illness, and that as a high-ranking emperor, he had fallen into the position of a "lonely widow" with many talented people in the dynasty, but no one to use for him.

"Forget it, just rely on yourself to support yourself." Just when Zhu Yijun was thinking that asking for help from others is better than asking for help from yourself, Zhang Chonghui's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Your Majesty, the common people should try their best." Zhang Chonghui's tone was a little helpless, with a feeling of 'there is really nothing you can do'.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yijun was stunned...

He looked at Zhang Chonghui and saw that although the other man was frowning, the look in his eyes was calm and calm.

"Do you really have a way?" Zhu Yijun asked in disbelief. To be honest, he didn't really believe it.

Zhang Chonghui sighed matter-of-factly and said: "Well, Your Majesty, in order to solve your problems, even if the common people have no other way, they have to rack their brains to come up with a way."

The invisible flattery caught Zhu Yijun off guard, making the emperor, who was accustomed to flattery, feel a little embarrassed unconsciously.

Zhu Yijun was about to scold Zhang Chonghui for being naughty, but before he could speak, the other party put forward a 'condition' first.

"Your Majesty, you also know how difficult this matter is." Zhang Chonghui suddenly said seriously: "The common people do not dare to trouble your Majesty. The common people have only one request, and I hope you can agree."

"What's the request?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"That's it..." Zhang Chonghui was a little embarrassed: "I hope you won't send people to follow the grassroots again, okay?"

Seeing that Emperor Wanli refused this 'request' without saying a word, Zhang Chonghui hurriedly added:
"Your Majesty, the common people don't actually dislike you being followed all the time, because the common people know that this is not just tracking and monitoring, but also that you, the king, are protecting the common people!

Just like this Lantern Festival, so many things have happened. Although you suspect that it was done by ordinary people, the ordinary people know that you have a wise heart!

You know that under the constant surveillance of Jinyiwei, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do such treasonous things!

Your Majesty, asking the Jin Yiwei to 'protect' the common people is really overkill! The common people really feel unworthy for you, my father! "

After Zhang Chonghui finished speaking his 'nice words', Zhu Yijun's face suddenly darkened.

Zhang Chonghui's apparent compliment was actually an inversion of truth. It was clear that he was saying to Emperor Wanli——

——"Your Majesty, the 'surveillance' of the Dongchang Jinyi Guards is of no use to me! If you have the spare time to monitor me, you might as well leave them to do other serious things!"

Zhu Yijun was not a fool. He could hear what Zhang Chonghui really meant. However, this time he did not get angry for the first time. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Okay, I promise you."

Emperor Wanli suddenly became so talkative, Zhang Chonghui was a little surprised, but it didn't last long. After all, you can guess with your toes that the other party must have held it back!
……

Zhang Chonghui still doesn't know what the 'bad fart' Emperor Wanli was holding in is. He only knows that he has finally been let out!
And judging from the current situation, no one is really following him!
In this great time of 'regaining freedom', normal people would go home first to 'celebrate'!
However, the first thing Zhang Chonghui did was not go back to the Zhao Mansion, nor was it to celebrate!
……

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty...from now on...you really won't let anyone look at that Zhang Chonghui?"

Chen Ju couldn't believe His Majesty the Emperor's order. He couldn't believe it even more that His Majesty the Emperor actually asked Zhang Chonghui to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince in reading!

In the past, His Majesty the Emperor, who wanted to lock up Zhang Chonghui for the rest of his life and regarded Zhang Chonghui as a thorn in his side, why did his temperament suddenly change to such an exaggerated level! ?

Is it possible that everyone in the Zhang family knows how to cast poison? ?

"What's the use of staring?" Zhu Yijun said nonchalantly:
"Instead of keeping a close eye on him and letting him be cautious every step of the way until there is nothing to catch, it is better to let him be free! The more free he is, the less scrupulous he will be, and the less scrupulous he will be, the more mistakes he will make!"

Chen Ju nodded when he heard this. He had to admit that His Majesty the Emperor's words did make sense.

In the past few years, Dongchang has been keeping a close eye on Zhang Chonghui all the time. However, the closer he stared, the more cautious Zhang Chonghui became!

He was so cautious that after many incidents, he couldn't even find anything wrong with Zhang Chonghui!

"But Your Majesty..." Chen Ju was still worried: "Zhang Chonghui is a treacherous person and has weird thoughts. I asked him to serve as a reading companion for His Highness the Crown Prince. I am afraid... I am afraid that he will lead His Highness the Crown Prince astray..."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhu Yijun remained calm. After all, his purpose was to let Zhang Chonghui lead his son, and he was afraid that Zhang Chonghui would not lead him!

"Where did the boy go after he left the palace?" Zhu Yijun asked instead.

"Go back to your Majesty." Chen Ju replied awkwardly: "Didn't you say that... I won't follow Zhang Chonghui anymore..."

"Speaking of which, it was a good day, but why did it suddenly rain with thunder and lightning?"

"Back to your lord, the Qin Tian Jian said that there are differences in the celestial phenomena, and this year may not be peaceful."

"Why is it not peaceful? Didn't the envoy of the Qin Tian Jian say that things would be smooth this year?"

"Back to your lord, the chief envoy of the Qintian Prison has been imprisoned, and now the deputy envoy of the Qintian Prison is in charge."

"That's simply alarmist! Send the order and have that deputy envoy dismissed from his post!"

"Slave, I obey..."

……

Jiaofang Division.

The Jiaofang Division is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Etiquette. It is a technical group used to perform music at celebrations or when welcoming distinguished guests.

In fact, Jiaofangsi is an official brothel.

As a free prostitution place for officials of the Ming Dynasty, the women here were basically the family members of criminal officials who had committed serious crimes or had their homes confiscated and exiled.

These women, who may still be high-ranking young ladies and noble ladies today, fell in love overnight and became lowly prostitutes who were allowed to be played with and teased.

And those who tease them are often the former colleagues of the male master in their family.

Jiaofangsi is not as lively as other brothels. After all, it is not a place where anyone can come and enter if they want.

It doesn't mean that you have to be an official from the Ming Dynasty to come in, at least there must be an official as a mediator.

Zhang Chonghui was stopped outside the Jiaofang Division because he was not qualified.

Until he moved out the fourth uncle Zhang Jianxiu of Jinyiwei and the fifth uncle Zhang Yunxiu of Yin Shangbao Sicheng, and revealed his identity as the prince's companion...

The eldest brother at the gate reluctantly persuaded him kindly:

"Young man, I have a word of advice for you. Don't think that this is a government brothel and think that it is filled with beautiful, well-educated and noble women.

In fact, all the pretty and decent girls and women have been picked out by the adults before they step into the gate of this Jiaofangsi!
Those who remain are either old or not good-looking! In short, if you go in with your appearance and conditions, you will be the one who suffers! "

The janitor brother said it sincerely, and Zhang Chonghui was also very moved, and said before entering the door:
"Thank you for your kind reminder, brother, but I'm not here for prostitution, I'm here to find a prostitute."

After a brief thought, the janitor brother said, "If you say so, then so be it. In fact, it's normal for people to have some special hobbies."

Zhang Chonghui: "..."

……

at the same time.

On the second floor of Jiaofangsi, in a certain wing. I don’t know whether it’s because the old pipa is too old, or because the old woman playing the pipa has old hands and her hands are shaking. The crisp sound of the pipa that should have been like “big beads and small beads falling on jade plates”, is now only left with “cao cao qie qie”. Miscellaneous bombs'.

I can't say it's unpleasant, I can only say it's really a good news.

If you don't listen carefully, you won't even be able to tell that this is "Guangling San" written by Ji Kang of the Han and Wei Dynasties.

"Uncle Gu, do you dare to be more stingy? Daofu and Qing have just arrived in the capital not long ago, so forget it if you don't find a decent place for them to take care of themselves!

Instead, come to this Jiaofangsi to listen to a group of old women playing the pipa? What kind of stuff are they playing? The tune is not in tune, the tune is not in tune, even the donkey's braying sounds good here! "

Zhou Jiamo's tone was quite dissatisfied, but there was a smile on his face. For such a strange person, I don't know if he was angry at all.

Compared with Zhou Jiamo's dissatisfaction and disgust, Gu Xiancheng's reaction was completely opposite. His expression was very intoxicated, as if the strange and harsh pipa music in his ears sounded like fairy music.

"Thousands of miles apart, who will get the sound of Guangling?" Gu Xiancheng seemed to be intoxicated in his own world, sighing repeatedly:
"Wonderful! Wonderful! How wonderful!"

"Weird." Li Sancai looked at Gu Xiancheng with a puzzled expression and asked, "Uncle, you didn't drink either, so why are you drunk?"

"Hey, what you said is wrong, Daofu. Who said you have to drink to get drunk? Immortal music is like old wine, just listening to it will make you intoxicated."

After Gu Xiancheng said that, he turned to look at Ye Xianggao, who was sitting upright with an expressionless face, and raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Qing Jin, do you think so?"

Ye Xianggao didn't seem to want to talk about such an 'insignificant' topic. He remained expressionless and said bluntly:
"Uncle Shi, you know that I come from a humble background, and it is extremely rare for my family to be able to support me in studying and becoming an official.

I don’t have much exposure to the elegant poems of idlers such as Pinhuapinqu. And given the current situation, I'm not in the mood to listen to music. "

"Look at you." Gu Xiancheng looked disappointed and said with a strange smile: "You and I can't be close friends. You and I just can't talk together."

Ye Xianggao said nothing more and did not look at Gu Xiancheng. He was only focused on business now and really had no intention of talking to Gu Xiancheng about such useless nonsense.

"Okay." The smile on Zhou Jiamo's face disappeared completely. After driving away the old woman playing the pipa with a wave of his hand, he said seriously: "Let's talk about business!"

Facts have proved that Zhou Jiamo's voice does not seem to have much appeal.

Gu Xiancheng still didn't sit upright. He even dipped his fingers in wine and wrote a poem on the table.

Li Sancai quietly watched what Gu Xiancheng was writing. While reading, he read in a low voice:

"The first step up to the Lioyang Palace is gold, and the moment you fall off the cliff, you will fall into the depths of hell..."

As for Ye Xianggao, his face was still expressionless. Although he sat upright, he did not take the initiative to express his opinions.

Zhou Jiamo is not a good-tempered person. Seeing that the current situation is so critical, his Donglin Party is about to be completely wiped out by the Zhejiang Party, and his comrades are still so lazy and inactive!
"Uncle Gu! Can you..."

"Oh!"

Zhou Jiamo wanted to scold Gu Xiancheng, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the door to the wing was kicked open!
"Who are you? You are so rude!"

Seeing the tall young man approaching in a swagger, Li Sancai was the first to stand up and scold him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jiamo and Ye Xianggao also stood up vigilantly, because they all saw the followers who were beaten to the ground outside the door.

Only Gu Xiancheng remained motionless and looked at the visitor, as if he had been waiting for this moment to arrive!
"As soon as you step up to the Liuyang Palace, you will be golden, but as soon as you fall off the cliff, you will fall into the depths of hell. I prefer to lie down in Su Wu's cellar, but Liu Kun might as well sing in his prison."

Zhang Chonghui's voice rang out, and not long after he entered the door, his excellent eyesight allowed him to see what Gu Xiancheng was writing on the table with a glass of wine.

Even though he was just writing with his hand dipped in water, Zhang Chonghui could tell at a glance that it was Zhao Shizhen's handwriting, and it was also his own handwriting!

"I have seen Yaksha's face during my lifetime, and my death is only because of my Bodhisattva's heart. Who will get the sound of Guangling even if I know myself in the wind and sand thousands of miles away."

Gu Xiancheng took over the first half of the poem read by Zhang Chonghui. Then, he suddenly laughed ecstatically and said:

"Hahaha! Fate, this is fate! Brother Zhang, you are indeed my confidant, Gu!"

Looking at these two inexplicable people, Zhou Jiamo, Li Sancai and Ye Xianggao were all stunned.

Especially Li Sancai and Ye Xianggao. They had never met Zhang Chonghui, and they were even more confused about how such a good Gu Xiancheng could become a close friend with a young man who was about the same age as his son.
Isn’t this too bad?
Facts have proved that things in the world are always changing rapidly, which is even more incredible.

One moment they were exchanging poems, and the next moment they were fighting each other!
Moreover, it was still a one-sided beating!

"Gu Xiancheng, how dare you play tricks on me!"

Zhang Chonghui seemed to be very angry. He picked up Gu Xiancheng's collar and punched him in the face without any courtesy!

The incident happened so suddenly that before the three people on the side could react, Gu Xiancheng received a solid punch!

This fist was so hard that the corner of Gu Xiancheng's mouth bled on the spot!
Seeing Zhang Chonghui raising his fist again and preparing to punch Gu Xiancheng again, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to pull them apart and save their comrades!
However, something unexpected happened to all three of them!

Gu Xiancheng, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, hurriedly raised his hand to stop the three people who were about to come up to help, but still stopped him with a smile:
"You guys go back first. I want to have a good talk with my 'confidant'!"

……

Even though the three of them were full of doubts, they all retreated silently.

It's not that they don't care about Gu Xiancheng, but they all know Gu Xiancheng's temperament.

"If nothing else, Uncle Gu invited us here just to wait for that boy." Ye Xianggao said.

"Who is that kid?" Li Sancai asked.

Zhou Jiamo sneered: "Who else could it be? It's not the grandson of Taiyue who said, 'I am not a prime minister, but a photographer'!"

……

In the wing room.

Zhang Chonghui was still holding Gu Xiancheng's collar tightly, but Gu Xiancheng didn't even struggle. He just looked at Zhang Chonghui with a smile, as if he was deliberately provoking him!
"You still have the nerve to smile?" Zhang Chonghui raised his fist, but did not drop it immediately, and said carefully:

"Not only did you tamper with the contents of the demon book without authorization, but you even copied the demon letter in Zhu Geng's home by imitating my handwriting!
You want the emperor to quickly suspect me, and you want the emperor to focus all his attention on me!
In this way, you can have your hands and feet free to carry out that ridiculous lightning strike on Jingde Gate!
Gu Xiancheng, you are so amazing! I have been locked up in the palace for more than a month without seeing the light of day, while you are busy outside! "

Zhang Chonghui's words were all "affirmative" because he was convinced that it was Gu Xiancheng who did this!

"Hahaha! Okay! Okay! Okay!" Gu Xiancheng laughed loudly, but the next moment he asked quietly:

"Didn't you already expect that I would tamper with the demon book? Didn't you achieve all your goals?"

Gu Xiancheng stared at Zhang Chonghui, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his words gradually became sarcastic, saying:

"Shen Yiguan was forced by you to vindicate Zhang Juzheng, and we were forced by you to defend Zhang Juzheng!
Now Zhang Jianxiu and Zhang Yunxiu have been reinstated, and you have also been released by the emperor! In my opinion, the really powerful person is you!
By the way, you have to thank me. If I hadn't had people spread the news that you and the queen and princess were kidnapped, would you have been able to see the emperor?
Also, if I hadn’t arranged for people to bribe the guards at each city gate in advance, how could those Japanese pirates who Zhang Yun had cleared through..."

"Oh!"

Gu Xiancheng's words were interrupted by Zhang Chonghui's fist!
"Gu Xiancheng, what do you want to do?" Zhang Chonghui also saw that this Gu Xiancheng is very abnormal!

"What do I want to do?" Gu Xiancheng raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked with a gloomy smile, "Didn't you already guess what I want to do?"

"You're crazy!" Zhang Chonghui threw off Gu Xiancheng's collar in disgust. Apparently he had guessed something bad!

"Am I crazy?" Gu Xianxiang seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something. He changed from his normal state and pressed Zhang Chonghui's shoulders like crazy. He shook it vigorously and said with great excitement:

"I think you are crazy! You actually want to turn the tide? You are so stupid!"

"Do you think the Ming Dynasty can still be saved? I, Gu Xiancheng, tell you! The Ming Dynasty has been saved for a long time!"

"Da Ming! It's time to die!"
