Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Before Bai Sheng could finish speaking, Shangguan Jiannan was furious. He glared at Bai Sheng, but he couldn't say anything to accuse him. The imperial envoy went to whoring, even the emperor couldn't care about it, so what reason did he have? Forbid him to go?

He had no choice but to turn around and run out, asking the guards on the way where Han Shizhong had gone. He felt that Han Shizhong had to be notified as soon as possible. If Han Shizhong had no way to stop "Di Lie", he had to accept his fate.

All the officials were startled when Shangguan Jiannan suddenly stood up. Is this Shangguan Jiannan going to die?If he really angered the imperial envoy, even being a teacher might not be able to save his life.

However, until Shangguan Jiannan left angrily, there was no reaction from the imperial envoy. He seemed to turn a blind eye to Shangguan Jiannan's angry gaze. I don't know if the imperial envoy's temper was too good, or he had some scruples about Shangguan Jiannan and even the way of teaching. .

Everyone didn't dare to say a word, they all looked at Bai Sheng, the atmosphere in the arena was very oppressive.

But Bai Sheng laughed, got up and said, "Let's go, let's all go to Yichun Garden to relax."

Yichun Garden is the largest brothel with the longest history in Yanzhou City, not one of them, but the buildings are much simpler than the brothels in the capital. There are no carved beams and painted buildings, and there are no pavilions. bungalow.

At this time, the night was dark, and lights were lit everywhere in the city.

All the officials surrounded Bai Sheng and Zhao Kai like stars holding the moon, and the bustard and all the prostitutes hurriedly came to pay their respects. The governor said: "This is our distinguished guest in Yanzhou City. I asked Liang Hongyu to come out to serve me by name. Won't you hurry up and arrange?"

How dare the bustard be negligent, she hurriedly greeted Bai Sheng, then stretched out her hand to greet the guests, signaling Bai Sheng to go to the backyard, and the rest of the officials surrounded by prostitutes to say hello.

Only Zhao Kai was neither sitting nor standing, and when he wanted to leave, Bai Sheng pulled his arm, "You can't leave my side."

Zhao Kai couldn't help frowning: "Why do you take me with you for such a thing?"

Bai Sheng pretended to be confused and replied: "What kind of thing? What do you think it is?" Pulling Zhao Kai along, he walked into the backyard.

Followed the old bustard two times into the courtyard, came to a single courtyard, the old bustard shouted from a distance: "Hongyu, there is a distinguished guest, why don't you come out to greet him?"

Bai Sheng took a look at the yard, and saw that there were eight or nine houses divided into east, west, north, and three sides.A charming voice came from the north room and replied: "My daughter is taking a bath, please come in and wait."

Walking into the north room, he could hear the sound of water being splashed inside. Bai Sheng showed a meaningful smile and thought to himself: Take a bath?Do the pigeons need to take a bath just after they are released?

Looking at Bai Sheng's smile, Zhao Kai felt that he was smiling so lewdly, so he said angrily, "Why don't you go in and wash with her?"

Bai Sheng said seriously, "Am I that anxious?"

Zhao Kai didn't bother to talk to Bai Sheng anymore, thinking that if you don't have sex, there won't be any lustful people in this world, and then thought of Father Huang, well, probably only Father Emperor can compete with you.

The sound of the water gradually subsided, followed by the rustling of clothes, and not long after, a young girl with picturesque features and thin makeup came out. She only wore light makeup on her face, but she was wearing a big red coat. Pants, the two form a sharp contrast, making them look more delicate and charming.

In three or six years, this Liang Hongyu must be right.Bai Sheng nodded secretly, thinking that this woman is indeed outstanding in appearance, only slightly inferior to Zhao Fujin and Li Shishi, but if compared with Xiao Feng, Pan Jinlian and other women, each has her own merits.

Liang Hongyu generously greeted Bai Sheng and Zhao Kaifu, invited the two guests to sit down, and then poured tea and water, with an elegant posture, she went straight to the well-trained Li Shishi.

"What do you call the two brothers? Where are you from, and where are you going?" Liang Hongyu asked casually while serving.

Zhao Kai is a real person, seeing this innocent girl asking questions, he couldn't bear to be left out, so he replied, "My surname is Zhao Mingkai, and I came to Yanzhou to do business."

Liang Hongyu's wonderful eyes turned to Zhao Kai's face, and asked: "Is my brother's name in regular script?" After seeing Zhao Kai nodding, she immediately praised: "It's really a good name."

But while the two of them were chatting, Bai Sheng wandered around the room with his hands behind his back, inspecting the furnishings.

He found that the layout of Liang Hongyu's room was not like her daughter's boudoir at all, but rather like a scholar's study, and it was the kind of study used by scholars who practiced writing and martial arts at the same time, because there was a green sharkskin sheath hanging on the wall. long sword.

Under the long sword was a desk, on which were the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He walked over and opened the stack of rice paper neatly stacked on the corner of the desk, only to see that there were some beautiful lower script on it.

He flipped through the pages, and his eyes were fixed on one of the papers, on which was written: "Drive a wheelchair, blow through the gap in Helan Mountain"!

Hmph, you look down on Bai Sheng who is in a wheelchair, don't you?He was not surprised that Liang Hongyu tampered with his "Man Jianghong". As the secret contact point of Yipintang in Yanzhou City, if he didn't even get this news, wouldn't his many performances in the capital be in vain?

Chapter 399

Liang Hongyu, originally from Chizhou, Anhui, was born in Huai'an, Jiangsu. Both his grandfather and father were military generals, so he could be regarded as a general of two generations.

Just because her grandfather had a cousin named Liang Yibu, it brought disaster to her family.

Who is this Liang Yi buried?Perhaps the common people in the Song Dynasty knew nothing about it, but in Zhao Song Chaotang and the border market, everyone knew it, and everyone knew it.Liang Yibu was the second prime minister of the Western Xia Dynasty after Zhang Yuan.

As early as 50 years ago, Liang Yibu, who was the official prime minister of Xixia, and his sister, the Queen Mother Liang, controlled the court. They used troops against the Song Dynasty for years and won more than they lost. among.

In the following 30 years, Liang Yibu's daughter, Liang Hongyu's distant aunt, became the queen of Xixia again, known as Xiaoliang Queen Mother in history, and Liang Yibu's son, Liang Hongyu's distant uncle Liang Qibu, succeeded Liang Yibu. Become the prime minister of Xixia.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang is even known as a "war madman". Together with her younger brother Liang Qibu, she launched several wars against the Song Dynasty, but Song Zhezong was helpless, especially after the famous Song Dynasty general Di Yong died for the country. Tang no longer has the ambition to destroy Xixia, and suffers from "Xiaphobia".

This embarrassing situation was not relieved until 16 years ago.

16 years ago, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and Liang Qibu turned against each other and suffered a defeat in the last conquest of the Song Dynasty. Later, Emperor Daozong of Liao Dynasty Yelu Hongji sent people to kill Empress Dowager Xiaoliang with poisoned wine, and the emperor of Xixia Li Qianshun was able to take charge of the government.

When Liang's aunt and nephew had just taken control of Xixia, Liang Yibu had written a letter to Liang Hongyu's grandfather, in which he instigated Liang Hongyu's grandfather to rebel against the Song Dynasty and defect to Xixia with the promise of a high-ranking official.

Of course, Liang Hongyu's grandfather was loyal to the Song Dynasty. Under the temptation of his cousin Liang Yibu, he abided by his duties as a courtier of the Song Dynasty. He not only resisted the temptation, but also presented the letter written by Liang Yibu to the then leader Fan Zhongyan .

Fan Zhongyan knew that the matter was of great interest and did not dare to deal with it without authorization, so he played this letter together with his own handling opinions to the then emperor Song Renzong.

Song Renzong was a benevolent emperor, and of course he would not chill the hearts of his loyal ministers. The instructions he made were: reward his loyalty, promote him to a higher level, and transfer him away from the border and return to the order of the forbidden army.

What I have to say is that Song Renzong's handling was very decent. He not only praised and encouraged Liang Hongyu's grandfather, but also transferred him out of an embarrassing situation. It can't be reversed, and if it is reversed, it will not bring any loss to Da Song.

It stands to reason that with Renzong's instructions, Liang Hongyu's family has lived a happy life ever since.

But there was an unexpected situation. Ten years ago, when Liang Hongyu was eight years old, this matter was dug up. If we use a popular Internet phrase in later generations, it would mean that someone had pasted up the grave.

The person who dug the grave was Gao Lian.

I don't know how Liang Hongyu's father offended Gao Qi, when Fang La rebelled in Shezhou, playing the banner of Mingjiao.Gao Qiu sent Liang Hongyu's father to lead troops to quell the rebellion, but suffered a disastrous defeat, and Fang La beat the whole army to annihilation.

When Liang Hongyu's father recovered from his crimes, Gao Qiu found the letter from Liang Yibu in the Shijia Pavilion, and deprived the Liang family of being a smuggler and adulterer, accusing the Liang family of deliberately befriending Fang La. , intending to unite with Fang La and Xixia to attack Song Dynasty, and directly killed Liang Hongyu's father.

It was not enough to kill Liang Hongyu's father, but also killed her grandfather who retired at home, and all the women in the family acted as official prostitutes.

At this time, the emperor was Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji was busy with piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and Fu, so he knew nothing about this matter, so Gao Qiu took care of the matter by deceiving his superiors and subordinates.

So Liang Hongyu was reduced to a prostitute in Bianjing Jiaofang when she was eight years old.

Later, when the flames of war at the border crossed in Song and Xia reignited, the Great Song Dynasty Hall held a martial arts competition for this purpose. In this martial arts competition, Yang Zhi and Han Shizhong were among the first-ranked candidates in high school.

The martial arts was over, and there was news from the border, saying that Weizhou's Xiaozhong manager, Gongzhong division, had won a big victory in Qingtang and regained the horse breeding land in the northwest, but the Xixia side died down, and the war it's over.

When Zhao Ji heard about this, he was naturally overjoyed. The former Zhezong was bullied by the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang all his life, but he, Zhao Ji, was able to feel proud.

So he decided to hold a celebration commendation meeting, and recruited back the generals of the frontier army, such as Zhongshizhong. In order to encourage the soldiers of the Western Army, Zhao Ji decided to allocate hundreds of official prostitutes in the Jiaofang to the Western Army, so as to enrich the amateur cultural life of the soldiers. .

Liang Hongyu, who was only 13 years old at the time, was among these official prostitutes.

Han Shizhong is the apprentice of Zhong Shidao, and Zhong Shizhong is the younger brother of Zhong Shidao. The two are not familiar with each other. Although Han Shizhong did not participate in this war to retake Qingtang, he still relies on his relationship with Zhong Shizhong. You can participate in the celebration banquet set up by Zhao Ji for Zhong Shizhong and others.

At the celebration banquet, Han Shizhong fell in love at first sight with Liang Hongyu, who was ordered to serve.So he wanted to take Liang Hongyu down and bring him back to Yanzhou, and the planters would naturally not refuse.

Different from ordinary brothel ladies, Liang Hongyu is an official prostitute with a dark history. Even if Han Shizhong is a general of the Western Army, he has no right to get rid of her status, so she can only be raised in Yichun Garden in Yanzhou City. middle.
