Beauty is not a disaster, but a cheap concubine is also a pity.

Thousands of worries and troubles are all caused by the secular world.

Since ancient times, many emperors have loved their country more than their beauty.

If the emperor's legacy is deep and the empire is stable, then he will have both the empire and the beauty, and future generations will have no objections. But if he loses the empire because of his love for beauty, then the beauty will naturally become a disaster in the eyes of future generations. The former

For example, Zhang Lihua, Yang Guifei, and later Chen Yuanyuan, all suffered from eternal infamy because they harmed the foundation of the imperial industry.

In fact, it is only the king who has the final say about loving the country and beauties. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but who can really touch the foundation of the country? Many people blame women for the rise and fall of dynasties. In fact, there are some reasons

It is suspected of making excuses for a man's fault. In short, the country is in the hands of the king. Even if the demon concubine is in a strong position, it still depends on whether the king is a god.

Therefore, the reason why beauties become a disaster is actually because men have evil intentions in many cases.

Originally, the arrival of an oiran from a brothel in Zhuozhou was not a big deal at all. There are many brothels in the capital that are much bigger and more famous than Furong Tower, but they are hard to count. Why has he stayed in the palace for so long?

It is really puzzling that the emperor in the middle of the world can know this news.

Even Prince Xiao, who was a court official with a little bit of charlatanism, had not noticed at all that there was such a thing about the Oiran's jackpot in Zhuozhou City.

In this way, it is really strange that the emperor learned the news before King Xiao and asked King Xiao to bring him here. King Xiao is a godly man, so he was particularly nervous at this time.

Be careful. However, he didn't know the details of Furong House, and he didn't know where the legendary beauty came from, so for a while he couldn't figure out who was behind it.

Although Wu Buxiao only went downstairs for a short time, he seemed to have news immediately, so he came back upstairs quickly.

"Oh! Mr. Wu, is there news so soon?" Prince Xiao couldn't help but admire Wu Buxiao's ability to inquire about news.

"Your Majesty wanted to inquire about it, but I haven't heard from you yet. However, I have inquired about another thing. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in hearing it?" Wu Buxiao seemed to be pretending to be mysterious, but also seemed a little worried.

"If there is anything that cannot be discussed between you and me, please tell me quickly." Prince Xiao said anxiously.

However, Wu Buxiao did not directly say it loudly. Instead, he walked to King Xiao and followed him, speaking to him alone.

After hearing this, King Xiao couldn't help but glance at Sheng Lingren in the temple, and then glanced at the emperor. His expression became worried as expected, and he asked with some suspicion: "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true. My lord, if you think about it, the current power of the temple, not to mention around the capital, even the entire north of the Yellow River, is their territory. In these places, whether they are heroes or traders, no one will follow them.

Has Sheng Ling been in contact with you more or less?" Wu Buxiao reminded Prince Xiao in a low voice, but he seemed to be afraid that the emperor who was admiring the beautiful woman in front of him would hear it, so he was a little worried about it.

"But Sheng Ling has so much territory in the capital, why did he have to arrange to come so far away? If we don't fall for it, wouldn't he have wasted his efforts?" Prince Xiao was still puzzled.

"Your Majesty, there is probably one thing you don't know about." Wu Buxiao said tentatively.

Wu Buxiao naturally has his strengths in becoming King Xiao's first strategist and chief staff officer. He is not only good at inquiring about information, but he is also very smart and cautious, and knows how to assess the situation at any time. He knows well that "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger."

"The reason is that even though he has been with Prince Xiao for many years, he is always careful when speaking in front of Prince Xiao and never dares to speak lightly.

He said something in confusion. Even if he already knew some things, he would never talk about them as long as Prince Xiao didn't ask. It makes sense that disaster comes from the mouth. Because, in the palace, knowing

The more information there is, the more dangerous it is. He himself is a master of information, so he clearly knows that he may be involved in the vortex of right and wrong at any time.

"What's the matter? Say it quickly, don't always say half and half." Prince Xiao was actually a little concerned about Wu Buxiao's problem, but he had been in contact with Wu Buxiao for so long, so he naturally knew this habit of his.

, so we won’t blame him directly.

"The prince probably doesn't know yet. In fact, the person who encouraged the emperor to come here is Manager Shi. The reason why they arranged the matter here is probably because they are afraid that the prince will become suspicious." Wu Buxiao actually had more to say later, but he had stopped talking.

Dare to say it further, because no matter if this word reaches the ears of Sheng Lingren or the eunuch chief Shi Zhong, he may be in big trouble. Even if it reaches the ears of the emperor, he may be in big trouble.

It will cause a lot of trouble.

Everyone in the world knows the relationship between the eunuch chief Shi Zhong and Sheng Lingren. Since it was Shi Zhong who instigated the emperor to come here, it is obviously obvious. Wu Buxiao did not say it clearly, but he was afraid of disaster.

Secondly, he also believed that Prince Xiao would immediately understand the stakes involved.

"You mean, this is a trick Sheng Lingren and Eunuch Shi deliberately set on the emperor and me?" Prince Xiao said clearly.

"Your Majesty Ming Jian!" Wu Buxiao did not admit it directly, but just replied in a positive tone.

"So, the origin of this woman must not be simple! Is there any news about Mr. Wu?" Prince Xiao finally returned to the previous topic.

"Since they have set up this trap, they must have made careful preparations. I cannot find out the origin of this woman for the time being. Please give me a few more days," Wu Buxiao asked helplessly.

Prince Xiao knew that Wu Buxiao was a charlatan. If even he couldn't find out the news, then others would certainly not be able to find out the information. Moreover, it was very possible that this information had been completely blocked intentionally.

"I'll pay fifty thousand taels!"

Suddenly someone shouted loudly, and immediately, the Furong Tower fell into silence, but everyone's eyes had turned to the emperor.

Prince Xiao was still discussing matters with Wu Buxiao, but when he suddenly heard that the emperor had killed someone for a huge price, he was immediately shocked and stunned.

King Xiao was just talking to Wu Buxiao, but he didn't pay attention. The price was already starting to rise. The starting price was originally five hundred taels, but a hero and a hero climbed up the price, and in just a moment it reached five thousand taels.

But at this moment, the emperor became so arrogant that he raised the price tenfold, directly to 50,000 taels.

When Sheng Lingren saw it, he immediately smiled and whispered a few words to his two sons, then he felt very satisfied.

"Second brother, please think twice! The business in Huguang is not good now. We are in the season of using money, and money is also very tight!" At this time, except for the few people who had met the emperor, many other people present were also

They didn't know the identity of the emperor, so King Xiao didn't dare to call him "the emperor", but called him "second brother". He said that business in Huguang was not good, and they were in the season of using money. What he actually meant was that the business in Huguang was not good.

Yes, the disaster situation in Huguang is still not over, and the national treasury is still very tight.

"No matter how bad the business is, fifty thousand taels is not much, so why can't I use it?" In the eyes of the emperor, fifty thousand taels was not much, but in fact, it was simply that when you are not a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!

Since the emperor ascended the throne, Prince Xiao has handled almost all matters, big and small, in person, while the emperor can only make an idea and decide on a plan.

He is the emperor, and he wants to use money. Naturally, no one dares to say "no", so Prince Xiao can only reply: "If it can be used, of course it can be used!"

"Okay! This young man's fixed price is 50,000 to 20,000 yuan, but is there anyone who offers more?" Wei Taining was also extremely interested, and obviously did not expect that the price could be raised so high.

As expected, no one dared to speak out. Although many people had money and could pay higher prices, most of them had recognized the identities of the Emperor and Prince Xiao. There were also some people,

Although they have this intention, they simply don't have that much money and cannot pay this price.

The emperor is determined to win. Although the four major families are big and powerful, who dares to challenge the emperor?

"Okay! Fifty thousand taels, Miss Ying'er, will belong to this young master tonight." Seeing that no one offered a higher price, Wei Taining could only announce.

"Brother, go and tell the boss that I want to redeem this girl's life." The emperor was very satisfied, and then he immediately found something to do with Prince Xiao.

"Do you really want to take her back to the palace?" Prince Xiao asked very quietly.

"You are not joking. Don't you know, brother?" The emperor stood up as he spoke. After speaking into Prince Xiao's ear, he immediately went downstairs to see the beauty.

Prince Xiao was very unhappy and seemed to have a vague feeling that he had been severely plotted. As for how serious the consequences would be, he could not tell yet.

In fact, King Xiao has found out that the person behind the Guanyin case is Sheng Lingren of the Temple. However, the time is not ripe yet and he cannot attack him at all. He is trying hard to figure out how to deal with Sheng Lingren.

, pulled out the nail in the temple in the capital, but did not want Sheng Lingren to make a superior move, and took the lead in counterattacking him, and actually gave him the first blow directly in front of the emperor.

A beauty trap was laid. If this woman is really Sheng Lingren's person, and then gains the emperor's favor, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me to deal with Sheng Lingren. What's more,

At that time, Dongchang was still supporting him, and if this woman became the imperial concubine again, I'm afraid it would be dangerous to protect herself, let alone deal with Sheng Ling and Shi Zhong.

Although Prince Xiao and the Emperor are from the same mother and are both born to the Queen Mother, this does not mean that the Emperor will definitely not touch him in the future. In history, there are many examples of emperors killing their brothers after they have established themselves in power.

I can't even count them.

Although King Xiao knew that this situation would not happen to him yet, he had to be on guard. The emperor was young now and could easily be fooled by some gossip, so Sheng Lingren set this trap for King Xiao.

, and it is indeed a bit clever, hitting King Xiao's weakness just right.
