Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 589 Please seal
Zhao Zhen heard this and asked, "Why do you need to report this specifically?"

Dai Zong said: "Sir, the crown of the emperor is crude and crude, so it is exposed to the public. Otherwise, this crown is hidden in the treasury, who would know it?"

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Dai Zong continued, "There is another thing, which was also brought from Hebei."

"Sir, we fought our way into Weisheng and broke into Tian Hu's palace. In addition to looting the treasures in the palace, we also captured more than 50 palace maids in the palace. Among them was a woman named Fan, who was extremely beautiful and was Tian Hu's favorite concubine, called Lady Fan. These people also followed us to Liangshan, but are now being held in the Jiaofang Division."

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded.

Dai Zong continued, "There is another thing. When we passed through Cangzhou, we met Mr. Chai."

Zhao Zhen said: "I have heard a lot about his reputation, but unfortunately I have no chance to meet him."

Dai Zong praised him, "He is truly extraordinary, with dragon-like eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, white teeth and red lips, three teeth covering his mouth and beard, and he is about thirty-four or thirty-five years old. He has the appearance of a dragon's son or grandson."

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I heard from Mr. Gai that two years ago, a new governor named Li Shiqun made things difficult for him. Is he better now?"

Dai Zong said: "Since Mr. Chai is a descendant of Emperor Chai of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he can be called the uncrowned king in Cangzhou. He recruits heroes from all over the world in Cangzhou, and keeps hundreds of them in his home. It is his success and failure. It was not bad in the past few years, but since the four major bandits appeared in the world, the court has been on guard against him."

"It was at that time that the Cangzhou governor took office. Now he is restricting Mr. Chai in every way. Mr. Chai got the news that the court was suspicious of him. Although he has many people, he dare not oppose the governor, for fear that the court will send troops to suppress him. When Mr. Chai hosted a banquet for us, he was very troubled. He also said that he envied you very much."

Zhao Zhen said: "His family has an oath certificate granted by Emperor Wude, so even if they are in trouble for a while, it won't matter. They are a wealthy family for generations, and they are very different from us. Besides, their fields and houses are all there. I heard that most of the fields in Cangzhou belong to their family. Their houses are red roofs and green tiles, with nine stories high. With painted buildings and carved beams, it is truly a fine house. If it is not absolutely necessary, I will not give it up."

Dai Zong nodded and said, "That's right. The atmosphere there is really different from others. Mr. Chai was embarrassed by the prefect, so he unexpectedly went out to avoid the disaster. He also asked me to tell you that if you have time, you should come to Liangshan to visit me."

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded. He and Chai Jin of Cangzhou also occasionally exchanged letters, but unfortunately, he did not dare to go, and Chai Jin did not dare to leave Cangzhou easily. Zhao Zhen listened and put it behind his mind.

Dai Zong said, "Sir, I don't know how to place Lady Fan?"

Zhao Zhen thought about it, called Wu Yong and Zhu Wu, and told them the story of Concubine Fan.

Wu Yong heard this and said, "Sir, why hesitate? Not to mention that this woman is stunningly beautiful, just because she is Tian Hu's concubine, you should take her into your family. If you send someone to Tokyo to ask for an imperial decree, your reputation as a lustful person will be further confirmed. In addition, since you have sent the emperor's crown, the court will certainly be less wary this way."

Zhu Wu said, "Now that Brother Lehe is the envoy to collect folk songs, Jingdong Road is not bad. The brothels, wine shops, tea houses, storytellers and singers are all spreading the news that it is difficult for you to have children, so that you can take in more wives and concubines. No one is slandering you."

Dai Zong said, "Even in Hebei, everyone says that you are a man of great integrity." Zhao Zhen couldn't help but rub his lower back quietly behind his desk. Yesterday in Tu Qiao's room, it was quite a hassle. Today, it's Tong Jiaoxiu's turn, and I'm afraid there will be some trouble as well.

Having too many wives and concubines was also a burden. If it weren't for the various spiritual objects, Zhao Zhen would not have had the energy to practice martial arts, cultivate Taoism, and handle government affairs.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen was studying a copy of the "Dongxuan Sutra" that his senior brother Gongsun Sheng had just found. This Taoist book was really good. It began with the following words:

Dong Xuanzi said: "Among all things in the universe, only man is the most precious. The highest pursuit of man is sexual desire. Follow the laws of heaven and earth, and follow the rules of yin and yang. Those who understand the principles will cultivate their nature and prolong their life; those who ignore the truth will hurt their spirit and shorten their life."

The postures of sitting, lying, stretching and curling, the methods of turning sideways, back, forward and backward, the rules of entering and exiting, the principles of the two instruments, and the numbers of the five elements. Those who follow them can maintain their lifespan; those who violate them will fall into danger and death. Since it is beneficial to ordinary people, how can it not be passed on to thousands of people!

According to Gongsun Sheng, this book was specially sent by Master Luo Zhenren, and this technique was specially used by Zhao Zhen. Practicing this technique can obtain the way of yin and yang. Although you can't have three thousand women like Huangdi and ascend to heaven in broad daylight, you won't have the decline of qi and blood, the depletion of bone marrow, and the worry of short life.

Zhao Zhen only studied this book for five to seven days, and the results were not obvious. However, Zhao Zhen believed it without a doubt, after all, his master Luo Zhenren was an immortal.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen said, "Scholar, there are so many spies from the imperial court in Jingdong Road now. Even if I marry this beautiful lady Fan, I am afraid that the imperial court will still be on guard against us all the time."

Wu Yong said: "Sir, how can the court be at ease if we occupy so many prefectures? Now that the local areas are unstable, we can expand. Besides, the imperial tutors and generals in the court all want to live a rich and luxurious life."

"Not to mention that the Privy Councilor is your father-in-law, even the Grand Tutor and the Grand Commandant, although they often make things difficult for us, are not really willing to send troops to suppress us. Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La, which one of them is not so powerful? It's just that these three people want to change the world, set up their own era names, and claim to be the emperor without permission. They can't hide it, so we have to send troops to suppress them."

"If you don't have a weakness, how can you let these people cover up in front of the emperor? That's why I asked you to accept Lady Fan and write a letter to ask for an imperial edict."

"Besides, the county lord has no children yet, so this huge territory is always unstable. If he can have a son or daughter, the people under Liangshan will be more stable."

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded, saying, "The [Divine Doctor] An Daoquan has also treated me before. I practiced martial arts when I was young, and I was greedy for coolness. I was stimulated by cold water, which caused my kidneys to become cold. Now I have been recuperating for a long time, with daily warm tonic and acupuncture. I think it is time for me to have children. As for marrying Lady Fan, I still need to ask Taoist Master Dong to choose a date."

"Don't make a big fuss about it, just carry a sedan chair in. You can ask for the imperial edict first. The eldest lady is still just a concubine, so it's not too much to ask for the title of Gongren. Besides, Madam Tu Qiao has never had an imperial edict. She should get one while she can. You, the scholar, should write the official document requesting the title, use the imperial seal, and send it to the court by express horse. Also send a family letter, asking my cheap father-in-law to go to the emperor to get some advice, because his daughter should have a share of the imperial edict."

After hearing this, Wu Yong immediately agreed.
