You won’t be afraid if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and cultivate immortality

Just when the Eighth Prince was holding a small meeting with his confidants in his villa on the outskirts of Beijing, the same story was unfolding in a gold-selling cave in the capital called Drunken Beauty.

There are five floors in Zuimeiren, which are mainly decorated in elegant decoration styles. The consumer prices on each floor are different, and the higher they go, the more expensive they are. Of course, the most luxurious top floor is a private area that is not open to the public.

At this moment, the eldest prince in simple attire is sitting at the head of the table. The sixth prince, dressed as a scholar, is sitting at the bottom on the left. Below, there are more than ten officials from the central court sitting around.

Judging from this posture, it is obvious that the matter has been discussed, and it has reached the stage of eating, drinking, having fun, and performing entertainment programs.

Although the sword-browed and star-eyed eldest prince is dressed in simple clothes, he exudes the aura of someone who has been in power for a long time, giving people a feeling of calmness and authority.

At the signal from the eldest prince's eyes, the attendants on the side quickly went out to greet and pass on the dishes.

Soon a group of orioles filed in, carrying plates with delicacies and wine bottles.

The delicious dishes are all delicious and delicious.

These orioles and swallows each found a place to sit down, serving wine and food beside these officials.

The eldest prince picked up the just-filled wine glass and took a sip. Then he put down the glass and said to everyone with a smile: "It is really rare to be able to gather with you all today. This beautiful wine and food, accompanied by beautiful people, is really a great event in life." Pleasure.”

All the officials agreed and toasted to each other.

Looking around, the decoration on the top floor is more luxurious and elegant. Antique calligraphy and painting ornaments are all made by famous artists. Several pots of flowers are placed in the corners to embellish this large top floor private room. These huanghuali are paired with tables and chairs made of rosewood. Everything looks noble. The surrounding windows are open, and the view from this window is wide. You can also see the scenery on the palace wall in the distance. The breeze blows in from the outside, which is refreshing.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food. The feeling of unfamiliarity was obviously eliminated, and the atmosphere became more lively. An official who usually had a good relationship with the prince suggested: "The eldest prince, since you are so excited today, I am humble enough to hear that Drunken Beauty's dance music is one of the best in the capital. Why not invite me?" The beauties come to dance and entertain?"

The eldest prince nodded in greeting, then clapped his hands to call for someone to invite him.

Not long after, a group of beauties were invited up. These beauties are indeed extraordinary, all graceful and charming. After saluting the prince and the ministers, the performance began. The dancers wear light and gorgeous dance clothes with light and gorgeous texture. The long-sleeved tight tops and floor-length skirts are decorated with gold and silver jewelry, tortoise shells, feathers, and jade, which fully demonstrate their beauty. The movements of his hands and feet are like the breeze blowing on his face, singing and dancing, as if he is a fairy. Their graceful and graceful bodies, which are good at water sleeve dance, are looming. The dance is light and elegant, dancing gracefully like a fairy descending to earth. It is gentle and graceful. Every gesture and every step has been carefully trained and choreographed.

These powerful courtiers were sitting at the wine table. They were so drunk that they hugged the slender and boneless waist of the maid next to them, causing a shy cry of wanting to refuse. His eyes were fixed on the dancers in tulle, admiring their graceful dancing.

The dancers danced to the rhythm of the music. The dance steps are light and agile, like butterflies flying among flowers. The figure is graceful and graceful, with long sleeves and flower feathers held at the slender waist, as if she is about to fly. The clothes she wears are dark clothes with a rich hem, and a large piece is trailing behind her, dancing like a willow branch swaying in the breeze. His eyes are clear and possess a different kind of magic.

The courtiers were attracted by the dancers' dancing and watched them intently. The faces of these courtiers were filled with smiles of satisfaction and joy, as if they were in a fairyland.

The dance music gradually reached its climax, and the dancers' movements became even more passionate. The graceful body swayed to the rhythm of the music, like waves hitting the rocks. The light dance steps carried a hint of provocation and temptation, making the courtiers' hearts sway and their blood boil.

At the end of the song, no one left, and the dance slowly came to an end. The dancers stopped and bowed to the courtiers. The courtiers stood up and applauded for their wonderful performance.

Still holding the pipa half-hiding her face, the beautiful woman caressed the pipa gently, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly. She played a song of high mountains and flowing water, just like the sound of nature. Everyone was fascinated by what he heard. The courtiers, who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, drank a few drinks and couldn't help but clapped their hands and praised him.

The eldest prince was very happy when he saw this. He leaned sideways and hugged the serving maid beside him, raised his glass and said to everyone: "Today I can enjoy this dance and hear this good news with you all. It is really a great blessing in my life. Let us raise a glass together and drink this cup for today's happy gathering!"

Everyone responded in unison and raised their glasses in toast.

The drunken literati and poets, with their tongues wagging loudly, began to coax the yangzi into reciting poems about fine wine, delicacies, and beautiful images.

Of course, it will definitely not be a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation, just an impromptu limerick.

The Sixth Prince, who was good at poetry and poetry, started first:

"The wine and delicacies are dazzling, the dancing girls are singing softly like the moonlight. The melodious music of the piano is floating all over the world, how can this happiness be compared to the immortal family."

"Good good!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

………….

These ministers started to flatter him one after another.

"Golden pulp and jade liquid reflect the rays of the sun, beautiful shadows dance with good music and the fragrance of the wind. The strings of the piano are lightly plucked and the sound of music begins. Why do you need to ask God for this music?"

Another man who looked like a Confucian scholar was stroking his beard and reciting a poem.

"Youjijiu is so kind!"

"It's really a masterpiece!"

"I'm going to obey Dabai!"

………….

These people began to brag each other in business again. Since the atmosphere was aroused, they all got up and sang a song, and then in the cheers, they were carried away by the encouragement. There is a kind of wine that does not intoxicate others, but makes people intoxicated themselves.

"Beauties and beauties share a long pavilion together, and the lingering sound lingers in the beams. Play a song in front of the flowers in the hall, and your heart will dance with your dreams."

"The fine wines intoxicate the soul, the delicious delicacies dance on the tongue. The lingering sound lingers in the heart and the beauty's smile reflects the beauty."

"The aged wine is intoxicating, and the beautiful shadows are like willows reflecting the guest light. The beautiful scenery is always accompanied by the sound of singing, and the good news is still lingering."

………….

On this luxurious top floor, they drank wine, tasted delicious food, and enjoyed the joy of having a beautiful woman in their arms. Until the sunset, some people were still in high spirits and high spirits, while others were very drunk. The two of them The prince had to go back before the palace door was closed. These people just staggered and reluctantly left.

There must be a reason why these people are so happy today. These are all literati and poets who have more eyes than a hornet's nest. They gathered together and made a casual calculation to sort out the affairs of the court today clearly and clearly. Even the eldest prince The probability of becoming a great treasure has been estimated. Taking into account his reputation, mother's family power, legitimate son... various factors, it is close to 70% sure. These people all dreamed of being able to join the army by winning the first prize, and thus transformed themselves into ministers of the army, and named their wives, Yinzi, and the Fuze family.

In the Eighth Prince's courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, everything discussed has been settled, and the next step must be entertainment.

That is, a grand cockfight is about to take place.

As a street kid, watching cockfights is more attractive than the girls in the hook bar.

The class representative said: Fighting cocks, also known as fighting cocks, biting cocks, military cocks, etc., are a famous rare bird species that can be viewed, entertained, and eaten in one. Cockfighting has a long history in our country and is known as a "tournament chicken breed".

In a spacious open space at the foot of the low hill behind the courtyard, the Eighth Prince specially raised a group of majestic fighting cocks. These fighting cocks have bright feathers and piercing eyes, and each one is full of fighting spirit and strength. The Eighth Prince led a group of ministers to this open space and let them choose the fighting cock they thought could win.

The sun shines on the open space through the gaps in the leaves, and the breeze gently ruffles everyone's robes, bringing a touch of coolness. These street guys, who were very discerning about this matter, stopped one after another and carefully observed the fighting cocks in each cage. Some used their hands to tease and pat the chicken coops, feeling their strength and vitality. Experts even reached into the cage to grab the fighting cock's steak and pull up the cock's comb. They patiently studied the chicken's eyes and expression, and carefully observed whether the cock's comb was in the shape of a flat tumor, and its eyes were bright and fierce. Trying to find clues to victory.

The maids on the side were holding trays and shuttled back and forth, elegantly and politely passing glasses of wine to these streetwalkers. These fine wines are fragrant, attractive in color and exude an alluring fragrance. The streetwalkers who took the wine glass took a sip and immediately felt the richness and aftertaste of the wine. While sipping the wine, they discussed their opinions on the cockfight in front of them and argued endlessly.

The chefs are busy cooking barbecue. They skillfully skewer the meat pieces on bamboo skewers, marinate them with special seasonings, and then grill them over charcoal fire. The grilled meat exudes a tantalizing aroma that makes people salivate. After running for a long time, I was really hungry. Now I could smell the aroma of barbecue and turned to the chefs, looking forward to tasting this delicious food.

As time goes by, these street guys gradually choose their favorite fighting cocks. Mainly choose the kind that has a big body and strong bones, a thick and powerful neck, thick and high legs, and hooked and sharp chicken feet. The front chest muscles are thick and well developed, and the beak is like an eagle's beak, preferably short, rough and curved. They took the fighting cocks they selected out of the cages, put them into bamboo cages, and carried them to the square to the assistants in charge of fighting cocks, so that they could take good care of and prepare them.

The Eighth Prince was watching all this with a smile. He was an expert at teasing cats and dogs, and he knew that he was about to witness exciting cockfighting matches.

There must be a jackpot in a cockfight. Betting on mundane things such as gold and silver is not the style of these court officials. Whoever loses has to drink three bowls of strong drinks. Doesn't this jackpot make the game more intense and interesting? Everyone wants their chosen fighting cock to win, but they are also prepared to lose. As we all know, this is a friendly match. The outcome is not important. What is important is that we can enjoy the fun of this cockfight together.

After waiting for a while and everything was ready, the Eighth Prince stood in the center of the field and announced the start of the game. When a pair of fighting cocks were put together, there was no need for teasing. They started a fierce battle directly. The sound of flapping wings and high-pitched chirps filled the entire clearing. The feathers on the chicken's neck exploded, and the white and black feathers began to fall off one after another as they pecked each other. These street guys gathered in a circle and nervously watched every move of the fighting cocks in the middle. These fighting cocks were all entrusted by the Eighth Prince. Excellent breeds were sourced from various places and carefully raised here, and all of them are extremely ferocious. Each fighting cock demonstrated its own strength and skill. Some gamecocks are nimble and agile and can quickly avoid the opponent's attacks; some gamecocks are brave and fearless and fight their opponents without fear. The atmosphere on the field was tense and lively, with everyone cheering for the fighting cock of their choice.

This means that there is no first place in literature and no second place in military power.

Finally, after several rounds of elimination rounds, the game was over. A fighting chicken with scars all over its body stood out and defeated other opponents in several games. It held its bare chicken head high and flapped its almost featherless wings, as if to show everyone its victory. The Eighth Prince stepped forward and ordered the steward here to take care of the fighting cock.

These drunk street guys raised their glasses one after another to congratulate the Eighth Prince and the winning cockfighting cock. They clinked glasses with each other, and the loser drank the three bowls of strong wine with great courage. They were not discouraged after drinking the wine, but instead laughed even happier. Because in this game, they not only enjoyed a wonderful cockfighting game, but it was also an event that gathered people's hearts.

If Ma Tengfei from Majia Village were here, he would curl his lips and say, just like that, I think that fighting chicken of his family could pick all of you back then. After all, a master who can fight against Goshawk without losing in a duel is not an ordinary person.

As soon as the sun sets in the Eighth Prince's courtyard, these streetwalkers start to say goodbye and go home. If they are drunk, they can ride back on horseback, but if they are not drunk, they can only ride in the carriage with others.

The three princes also rode back in the same carriage. Although they drank a lot of wine, they were all sober! After walking for a while, the third prince said to the fourth prince beside him:

"Fourth brother, please make arrangements and start to speed up the subjugation of those generals. It is really impossible to put our people in. Prepare for the worst. It will be easy for both of us brothers to sit in that chair. We can't take it easy, boss. When the day comes, It depends on whose fist is stronger."

"Well, I understand, brother. We still need to stock up on food, ordnance and armor. Eighth brother, please take the trouble and start collecting war horses. The spy came to report that the total strength of the boss's side is about more than 400,000, and there are about seven soldiers. Eighty thousand. Without excluding their hidden strength, we only have one hundred thousand soldiers. It seems that we have to continue to secretly expand our power. As long as we don't directly confront the boss, we have to strike first in other directions. In the court We don’t have the upper hand, but we have a slight advantage outside the court.”

The fourth prince rubbed his brows while slowly summarizing the information.

"Yes, I understand. Fourth brother, I will go to the palace tomorrow to find my mother-in-law and ask her to bring a message to my cousins. It is not a big problem to get two to three thousand first-class war horses."

………….

In this way, the three princes chatted together and plotted some things. Two hours later, they arrived at the palace gate. At this time, the palace gate was closed. As a prince who had attracted a large number of military generals, this matter was extremely simple. A hanging basket was lowered from the tower. We entered the inner imperial city smoothly without disturbing anyone.
