The prince is more stable

Chapter 32 First meeting in life
Unless a woman has a very masculine appearance, it is an insult to the intelligence of outsiders if she dresses as a man.

I won’t talk about whether there is an Adam’s apple or not, but at least in terms of the physiological characteristics that are different between men and women, you should put some effort into covering it up.

In the simple brothel, Zhao Xiaoqian saw the woman dressed as a man at first sight.

To be precise, there should be two.

The one next to her was also a woman dressed as a man, but her appearance and figure were much younger. She had a nervous expression and looked around guiltily, as if she was afraid of being recognized.

Judging from the expressions of the two, the guilty one is obviously a maid or a follower.

But the woman who was obviously the host had an appearance that made Zhao Xiaoqian slightly stunned.

It is a kind of beauty that can make a man hold his breath temporarily, like a curtain of mist and rain that one inadvertently encounters while riding a horse across the south of the Yangtze River.

The poetry is hazy, the mist is fading away, and the waves are shocking.

Although she was dressed as a man, her facial features and fair skin betrayed her deeply.

The guests around her were not looking at the stage, but couldn't help but look at her frequently. Some of their eyes were admiring, while others were malicious. What was certain was that their eyes were filled with men's primitive desires.

Zhao Xiaoqian curled his lips.

Two idiots, poorly dressed as men, any normal man could see through it, but they themselves are still unaware.

He originally planned to leave, but at this moment Zhao Xiaoqian was a little hesitant.

The two girls were left sitting in a brothel surrounded by wolves, not knowing what would happen. Although Bianjing was the capital of the Song Dynasty, the security in the city was not very good.

There are idle ruffians everywhere, and they are all factors of social instability. If you use some tricks on them or just use force, the two silly girls' lives will be ruined.

A woman with such a beautiful appearance should be cared for like fine porcelain, not be lost in the world like rubble.

Even if you have no love for it, you cannot allow a fine work of art to be destroyed.

With such a feeling, Zhao Xiaoqian stopped as if possessed by a ghost, turned around and walked up to them.

The two silly girls were still enjoying the performance on the stage with great interest when they saw a dark shadow approaching from the front. They immediately looked up and saw a handsome young man standing in front of them with a look of impatience and disgust on his face.

The two girls were confused, but Zhao Xiaoqian knocked on the table lightly.

"You like to play dress-up as a man, right? Go back to your own home and play. Are you really not afraid of death in such a filthy place?"

After glancing at them lightly, Zhao Xiaoqian turned and left.

Those who need to be reminded have been reminded. If they still don’t take it seriously, they deserve it.

The two girls stared blankly at Zhao Xiaoqian's departing back. After a moment, the young girl nervously grabbed her master's sleeve.

"Miss, I told you that people would find out. I told you that!"

However, the woman called Miss was still looking at the door of the brothel, and did not take her eyes away for a long time.

"Who is he?" The young lady frowned slightly and muttered to herself.

The maid tugged at her sleeve tightly and begged, "No matter who he is, I think he's right to remind us that we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go!"

The young lady looked around and was suddenly aware of the gazes of the people around her, and she was immediately startled.

It is indeed a smoky and foul place, and it is definitely not a good place to stay for long.

"Let's go out slowly, find the patrol officer, and follow him."

The young lady watched the performance on the stage with some reluctance. She had finally managed to sneak out of the house in disguise and had just sat down in the brothel for a while when she was discovered to be dressed as a man. It was really embarrassing.

It seems I’d better not sneak out anymore. It’s too dangerous outside.

Surrounded by a pack of wolves, the young lady and her maid bravely walked out of the brothel, leaving behind a sigh of regret.

The two women didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw the police patrolling the street ahead.

The maid finally shed tears of fear and choked, "Miss, don't come out again, or I will tell the master."

The young lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'll listen to you, okay? Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or you and I will both be punished."

I couldn't help but look back the way I'd come. The bridge was still bustling with people, but the young man was gone.

Zhao Xiaoqian's appearance was like a seed blown into the soil by the spring breeze, quietly taking root in her heart.

"Who is he?" The lady frowned and thought secretly.

…………

The cursing in front of the Prince of Chu's mansion was indeed much less.

One reason is that most of the noble relatives are old and can't stand coming to the door of the Prince of Chu's Mansion every day to be scolded. The tactic of waiting for the old man to come is very effective and they can't stand it anymore.

Secondly, within just two days, the Forbidden Palace issued several transfer decrees, transferring several officials from local areas to Bianliang, who were also members of the New Party at that time.

When the Empress Dowager was in power, the court purged the New Party and a large number of New Party officials were dismissed from office and demoted. Now that the emperor is in charge of the government, he has abolished the old and restored the new, and the officials who were once demoted and dismissed have been reinstated.

As for those old party members who were still in office, they did not offend anyone but suddenly received an appointment from the Ministry of Personnel. The emperor personally ordered them to be transferred to local positions or even dismissed from their official positions.

To put it bluntly, make room quickly, the New Party is about to take over.

At the same time, Zeng Bu, the Minister of the Imperial Household and Vice-Chancellor, and Zhang Dun, the Co-Director of the Privy Council, who were transferred to the capital, also took office in the past two days.

The court remained calm, at least on the surface.

But everyone is clear that the government has begun to gather momentum for the new party, and the day when the trend becomes established is not far away.

This is a major reshuffle that was planned and carried out with great force and determination.

The two prime ministers, Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang, the leaders of the old party, had sensed something was wrong as early as when Zhao Hao submitted the memorial. Every move the government made later confirmed that the old party was gradually losing its power.

Knowing that the general trend was difficult to defy, the two prime ministers, although still in office, had secretly ordered their families to pack their luggage and be ready to be demoted out of the capital at any time.

Their positions must be given up.

Of course, King Zhao Hao of Chu has not been idle these days.

The old men who were cursing at the door were still there, but Zhao Hao submitted several memorials in succession. The fat man was so rebellious that he became more and more excited as he cursed.

The contents of the memorials were all the same, with only one theme, which was to make suggestions at the risk of one's life, urging the court to completely abolish the old and restore the old, and create a new situation for the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Hao worked very hard, waving flags and shouting to attract customers.

The stance is not important, what matters most is standing in the right position.

Back then, the Empress Dowager advocated abolishing the new law and implementing the old law, and Zhao Hao also clung to his mother's thigh. Now that the times have changed, isn't it normal for him to cling to his nephew's thigh again?

What’s interesting is that when Zhao Hao was the first to submit a memorial to abolish the old system and restore the new, he was severely criticized by all the civil and military officials in the court.

Now that Zhao Hao continued to submit memorials unyieldingly and insist on his own views, the number of people scolding him in the court decreased a lot, almost to the point of almost disappearing.

After all, most of the civil and military officials in the court are smart people.

With the advice from his own son, Zhao Hao has been in high spirits recently and has been doing very well in the court.

However, Zhao Xiaoqian didn't care about what happened in the court.

As long as the palace does not collapse and his father becomes richer and richer, Zhao Xiaoqian will have a bright future.

For a prince who is waiting to be supported by his parents, the correct attitude towards life is to live a life of idleness and wait for death without striving for progress.

If you show a little ambition, frequently submit memorials to the emperor to discuss state affairs, and show concern for state affairs, the emperor will be unable to sleep.

How could the Prince of Chu do such a stupid thing?

The government affairs had nothing to do with him. What Zhao Xiaoqian cared about was his status in the world.

In March, outside the city of Bianjing, at a horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing.

Chen Shou and more than 30 royal guards were lying in ambush in the bushes outside the horse farm. What was about to happen was an ambush.
