Chapter 2147 The Flower War (55)

While Nick was busy watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms to improve his Chinese proficiency, he always felt that there was someone walking around in front of his window, as if trying to attract his attention.

So Nick opened the window, and Juren actually appeared outside his door.

Although the house was heavily guarded, it was not difficult to understand how Ju Ren had managed to sneak in when he thought about his experience as a "gun substitute." Nick let him in and gave him a warm hug.

Juren found a place to sit down and told him the general situation outside.

Cao Xi is currently busy dealing with the murder case of a court official, and is also looking for the person who punched Nick.

Nick is a painter and an eyewitness. The sketches drawn by him are much more accurate than "shadow graphics". The key is that those who plot against him may not know this.

Some of the Green Battalion soldiers responsible for maintaining order in Guangzhou City returned. This was done firstly because there was no sign of chaos in the city, and secondly because it could make the enemy relax. Only when they come out to move around would they know what they were going to do.

The admiral just wanted everything to be safe and sound before he left office, so he even went to Xuanmiao Temple incognito for a divination.

Many dignitaries in the capital believe this, so they also sneak in fortune tellers like Zhang Mingde, who specialize in reading fortunes for the wealthy and powerful. The reason why "Nine Sons Seize Heirs" happened is largely related to this "prophet".

These elder brothers still have many customs of the northern nomads. As soon as Zhang Mingde said, "My elder brother's appearance is indescribable," the princes who were already a little uneasy in their position became even more ready to make a move.

Ju Ren has read the Book of Changes, but he doesn't like divination. If fortune telling were really accurate, he wouldn't be in this situation.

Nick took the opportunity to ask why Juren didn't go to the college to teach.

"I can't teach you!" Juren sneered in an exaggerated tone.

He had a friend who had always had a reputation for being dignified and upright. He was hired to teach in a college. The students could not stand his harshness. One night when he was walking under the moonlight, he saw a vague figure among the flowers. He thought it was a thief who had escaped.

Came in.

As soon as he asked the question, a beautiful woman walked out from the flowers. The beautiful woman knelt on the ground and said softly and gracefully, "I am a fox demon. I saw this flower blooming so beautifully, so I came to pick flowers at night. Unexpectedly, my husband saw me.

Please forgive me, sir."

The woman was already charming and charming, and when complemented by the moonlight and delicate flowers, she looked even more like a fox fairy.

Juren's friend urged her to leave quickly, but she took the initiative to hug him and teased him with words. Juren's friend failed to keep his mind and took her back to his residence.

Unexpectedly, the sun shone all over the window the next morning, and students came in groups with scriptures. Some people shouted outside that a certain old woman was here to pick up this woman.

The friend of the judge was uneasy. The woman put on her clothes and straightened her hair in front of the bronze mirror that said "Three Examinations of My Body". Then she said to him, "I didn't bring any toiletries. I'll go back to freshen up for the time being. I'll come back to pick up last night's clothes when I have time."

Remuneration for sleeping with you.”

After saying that, he went straight out.

It turned out that she was a new geisha, and some students bribed her to perform this scene. During class, those students kept looking at him and snickering.

The next day, my friend who was a judge resigned from the academy. Later, other teachers applied for the job, and they didn’t dare to care about these students. Anyway, it didn’t matter if they didn’t do well in the exam. Their parents could pay to find a “substitute” to help them.

Take the exam to become a "backdoor scholar".

Nick advises people that having a fixed job will not only guarantee their livelihood, but also make their income better.

Juren didn't want to continue this topic, so he left before anyone noticed.

After the silence returned to the room, Nick thought about the story Juren had told, and felt a little scared.

What's even more frightening is that when these students get married, their parents hope that their wives will control them, which is even more impossible.

This will be a waste of a girl's lifelong happiness. French nobles can find lovers after marriage, but not here. And those students have been frequent visitors to the brothel since they were young. Otherwise, how would they know who is new?

Geisha?

The candlelight in the room shines through the open window into the courtyard outside, and you can see the blood-like red flowers falling on the ground.

Legend has it that Cao Zhi wrote a poem: Boil the beans and burn the pods, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They grow from the same root, so why fry each other in a hurry?

This poem was not included in the "Three Kingdoms", and whether it was written by Cao Zhi remains to be verified, but it expresses the historical story of the Cao brothers killing each other due to the "fight for the heir apparent". They were not nomadic people in the north.

Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small. This sentence is included in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and is the content of Liu Bei's edict left to Liu Chan. However, even with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, the Kingdom of Shu still failed to unify.

Three Kingdoms.

The process of Yongzheng's accession to the throne is said to be very dangerous. Legend has it that Kangxi left a legacy edict when he was seriously ill, but he died before it could be promulgated, and the person named in the edict was not Prince Yong.

Almost every palace coup involves the participation of guards guarding the palace. Among them, Longkoduo, who had contributed to Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, was the infantry commander and controlled the capital's security forces. In other words, Yongzheng ascended the throne through a palace coup.

Because there was no handwritten edict, or the handwritten edict was not from Prince Yong as rumored, it was changed to an oral edict.

Bonaparte suddenly laughed.

Georgiana knew what he was thinking without even thinking.

"Is that how he was frightened?" Bonaparte said critically.

"He is not the same person as you, my lion." Georgiana said in a gentle voice. "Nick has shaved his head."

"so what?"

"That means surrender, but it also means Nick is risk-averse. He is not a risk-taker."

"He's not an adventurer but he still travels around the world?"

"I think this is why Nick was able to travel around the world and return to France alive. Think about it, how many people died on the way to explore?"

He stopped talking.

"If those boys join the army, how are you going to teach them?" Georgiana asked.

"They won't last long," said Bonaparte.

"Will they really join the army? Will they not spend money to find someone to replace them?" Georgiana asked.

He stopped talking again.

"This is the most troublesome student. Do you believe that some people will praise them for exposing a false Taoism?"

"Do you think that teacher is innocent?" Bonaparte asked.

"If the girl said she was human, that would be another story." Georgiana muttered, "Why else would Veela be classified as a beast?"

He looked at her strangely.

She smirked at him.

"Can you tell me why?" he asked after a while.

"Women don't look at women as men look at women. How many women do you think like vixens?"

Unless, like Salazar Slytherin, Veela are banned from entering the school, look how much madness Fleur Delacour has brought to the school.

He seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand, and then Georgiana continued to read.

At that time, the military power was in the hands of the Fourteenth Prince, but he was fighting in the northwest. He could not return to Beijing before Yongzheng ascended the throne, nor could he bring a large army back to fight for the throne. What excuse would he use?

Finally, the 14th prince was recalled to Beijing and immediately imprisoned for more than ten years.

"I remembered."

Nick was startled by the sudden sound. He looked up and found that it was Juren who had left and returned.

"The clan members of the Ming Dynasty did not live in the capital, but now the princes all live near Shichahai." Juren said.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Nick asked inexplicably.

"These are all dragons, not real dragons. There will be more problems if they continue to live in that area."

Nick smiled, "Is it possible that you want to ask them to move away?"

This is absolutely impossible, unless there is a change of dynasty, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty dignitaries who used to live around Shichahai move away?

Juren may be a little afraid of what he just said. He is no longer as excited as before, his face is full of uneasiness, and his expression is more serious than usual.
