Chapter 393

The emperor of the Song Dynasty was willing to be the emperor of the Nine Five, and was nostalgic in brothels. After all, it was not a glorious thing. At this time, Zhao Ji was still a little ashamed, but after going to the Jin Dynasty to hunt, he lost even shame. Zhao Ji was cautious, afraid of being discovered by others. In fact, most court officials knew this well, but they did not dare to ask about it, which made Zhao Ji even more debauchery.

Cao Fu, the secretary-general of the Secretariat, once stepped forward and submitted a memorial to advise Zhao Ji to cherish the dragon body so as not to make fun of his descendants. After hearing this, Zhao Ji was furious and immediately ordered Wang Fu and others to deal with the matter. These people naturally understood Zhao Ji's meaning and were punished for Cao Fu's crime of slandering the emperor. Zhao Ji immediately sent Cao Fu to Chenzhou.

Before Zhao Ji became emperor, he made a group of friends who were like his bad taste. His close friend Wang Shin married the eldest princess of Wei, the daughter of Yingzong, and was named the son-in-law of the princess. However, Wang Shin was a dissolute person and was extremely indecent. Although the princess was gentle and virtuous, he served her parents-in-law with all her heart, Wang Shin favored her concubines, and they contradicted the princess many times. Shenzong demoted Wang Shin twice for this, but he did not repent. Even when the princess was sick, he even had fun with the concubine in front of the princess.

This man is a bad person, but he is Zhao Ji's guest. They often visit the famous brothel in the capital, the Xiefang Building. Wang Shi collects the famous painting "Hollowshoe Picture", but only half of it. He often mentions this in front of Zhao Ji, and his regret is beyond words. Zhao Ji remembers it in his heart and sends people to search everywhere. Finally, he finds the other half of the painting, and takes the half in Wang Shi's hand. Wang Shi thinks that Zhao Ji, who loves calligraphy and painting, wants to collect this painting, but Zhao Ji frames the two halfs into a complete painting and gives it to him. This shows how deep the relationship between the two is.

Zhao Ji was so generous to Wang Shi, so Wang Shi naturally reciprocates. Once, Zhao Ji met Wang Shi in the palace, and happened to have forgotten to bring the comb, so he borrowed the comb from Wang Shi to comb his hair. Wang Shi handed the comb to him. Seeing that Wang Shi's comb was extremely exquisite, Zhao Ji couldn't put it down and praised the comb for his novelty and cuteness. Wang Shi said without a chance: "I made two combs recently, one of which has not been used yet. After a while, I will send someone to send it to you." That night, Wang Shi sent Gao Qiu, a minor official in the mansion, to deliver the comb to Zhao Ji.

When Gao Qiu arrived at Zhao Ji's mansion, Zhao Ji was in Cuju, so he watched and waited by. Zhao Ji was good at playing Cuju, and Gao Qiu was an expert in the street kicking Cuju in his early years and was also good at this skill. When Gao Qiu saw Zhao Ji playing well, Gao Qiu cheered loudly. Zhao Ji called Gao Qiu to kick. Gao Qiu used all his skills to play football with Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji had a great time and ordered his servant to send a message to Wang Shu, saying that he would leave the comb and the minor official who sent the comb. Gao Qiu was increasingly favored by Zhao Ji. Later, a servant asked Zhao Ji for reward, and he actually said, "Do you have the feet like him?"

Zhao Ji got married at the age of 17 and married the daughter of Wang Zao, the governor of Dezhou. After he ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Empress Wang as the queen. Empress Wang was ordinary in appearance and frugal by nature. However, she would not please Zhao Ji, so although she was the main palace, she was not favored. Zhao Ji's favorite was Zheng and Wang's two noble concubines. These two were guards in the Empress Dowager Xiang's harem, and they were handsome and eloquent. When Zhao Ji was still a vassal king, he would always ask Zheng and Wang to accompany him whenever he came to Cide Palace to pay tribute.

These two people were cautious and good at flattery, which deeply attracted Zhao Ji. Empress Dowager Xiang was aware of it, so after Zhao Ji ascended the throne, they gave the two to him. Zhao Ji's death.

I was very happy to get what I wished. Zheng was not only outstanding in appearance, but also able to help Zhao Ji handle memorials. Therefore, Zhao Ji favored Zheng even more. He gave Zheng a love lyrics and erotic songs many times, and it was also spread to the palace.

When Empress Wang died, Zhao Ji enthroned Zheng as the queen. In addition to Zheng and Wang Er, the other two concubines were favored by Concubine Liu, Concubine Qiao, Concubine Wei and others. Concubine Liu was born in a humble background but looked beautiful. As soon as she entered the palace, she was favored by Zhao Ji, and was promoted from talent to seven levels to become Concubine. However, after she was promoted from Concubine, she died.

Concubine Liu once planted several banana plants in the courtyard. At that time, she said, "When these bananas grow up, I'm afraid I can't see them anymore." The servants beside him hurriedly reported Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji didn't care. Unexpectedly, two days later, Concubine Liu was seriously ill. When Zhao Ji went to visit, Concubine Liu had already died. Zhao Ji was deeply saddened and added four-character posthumous title "Mingda Yiwen", and compiled his life story into poems and essays, and asked the Yuefu to compose music and sing.

One day, Zhao Ji summoned all the ministers to the palace for a banquet. During the banquet, Zhao Ji ordered the eunuch to take out a jade artifact and said to the ministers: "I want to use this thing, but there may be a censor to advise me, saying that I am too extravagant." Cai Jing stood up and replied: "I used to go to the Northern Dynasties. The Lord of Liao once held a jade plate and a jade turtle in his hand and boasted to me, saying that this was a treasure from the Shi Jin Dynasty. I am afraid that there would be no such good objects in the Southern Dynasties. I think it is strange that the foreign court would take this. Is it better to be a dignified China, but I am not as good as him? It is just because Your Majesty has always been frugal, so I dare not come to Chen. Now that I have obtained such a good treasure, I just happened to be serving a cup to celebrate. Who dares to say that it is not suitable?"

Zhao Ji said, "The last emperor once built a small platform, and the censors submitted a series of comments to dissuade him. If I had made this tool early, I would be afraid that people would say it again, so it would be inconvenient to display it easily." Cai Jing replied, "If things are reasonable, why should we be afraid of people's words? The ancients said it well: 'Only to make blessings, only to make power, only to make jade food,' Your Majesty is rich in the world, and you should eat a lot of food in all directions. How can you care about mere wine vessels?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile happily and was satisfied. After the banquet, all the ministers dispersed. Zhao Ji left Cai Jing alone for a long time before Cai Jing left.

The next morning, an imperial edict was issued in the palace, ordering Zhu Xie to lead Su, Hang Yingfeng Bureau, and Hua Shigang in Suzhou. When Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou, he passed by Suzhou and wanted to build a temple, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, and was worried that no one would supervise the construction. The monk of the temple recommended a man, named Zhu Chong, who was from this county. Zhu Chong was born in a humble family and worked as a servant for others. Later, he started a medicinal business. Zhu Chong was a strong and fierce man and was punished by whipping for his crime.

Because he couldn't make it in Suzhou, Zhu Chong wandered outside the city and met the Taoist of Youfang. Zhu Chong returned to the city and set up a stall to sell medicine in the market, becoming a rich man. Zhu Chong was very energetic, generous, made tourists, and made praises. After Cai Jing heard about it, he asked the monk to summon Zhu Chong and discuss it in person with Zhu Chong.

Zhu Chong seized this great opportunity to curry favor with Cai Jing, and invested exclusively to sponsor it. In a few days, Cai Jing was naturally surprised. Zhu Chong's business adjudication was very consistent with Cai Jing's wishes. Cai Jing therefore strongly rewarded him and ordered him to supervise the production. Zhu Chong's son Zhu Xie was smart and capable as much as his father. The father and son supervised together and completed it quickly.

Cai Jing visited the temple and found that the scale was magnificent and magnificent. Cai Jing then praised Zhu Chong and his son with his heart and asked him to enter the capital. Then he tried to find a way for them to take the names of their father and son.

, included in Tong Guan's military status, only saying that they had accumulated military merits and should be given official ranks. Since then, Zhu Chong and his son have become officials.

Zhao Ji likes treasures and plays, especially flowers and stones. Cai Jing asked Zhu Chong and his son to secretly take the rare and strange things in Zhejiang to enter. Soon, Zhu Chong brought three strange boxes into the palace. This was indeed a rare and rare item. After offering it, it was greatly appreciated by Zhao Ji. Then he offered it one by one, all of which were very strange items, and Zhao Ji felt even more happy.

So Cai Jing secretly protected Zhu Jie and ordered the establishment of a Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou to specialize in flower stones, called "Flower Stone Gang". Zhu Jie got this beautiful man and used the treasury. Every time he received it, it was tens of millions. At that time, as long as there was a tree and stone in the homes of the people in Suzhou, Zhu Jie led the strong soldiers to go straight to his house and put a yellow seal on the garden flower stones as a sign. Even if he found another imperial tribute.

If the people have any complaints, they will be called "disrespectful". They take the opportunity to extort. Ordinary families are often forced to sell their children and lose their fortunes, but Zhu Jie makes a fortune. In the name of purchasing flower stones, he withdraws money from the kufu, but those who come to Tokyo are robbed from the people and spend no money at all. Other things such as digging graves and destroying houses, corruption and bribery are countless.

During the Jingguo period of Zhao Ji, in order to build Jingling Palace, he ordered the collection of 4,600 Taihu stones in Wujun. Zhu Jie sent thousands of mountain stonemasons and boatmen to force the adoption, whether they cut cliffs or a hundred feet of abyss. After long-term water erosion, the Taihu stones formed the characteristics of thin, leaking, transparent and wrinkled. Some Taihu stones were large in size, which brought difficulties to transportation. Later, someone thought of a solution, sealed the stones with mud, and then wrapped them in a towel and carried them with hemp, solving this problem.

When it was shipped, the house was evacuated and the walls were destroyed, opening up a broad road. The scholars and commoners occasionally had bad discussions and immediately whipped them, and they were tragic. Therefore, if the people get a foreign object, they will be considered ominous and hurriedly destroyed. If the news is unfortunately leaked and the government learned that they will often lose their money. The poor people are forced to sell their children and daughters to provide them with the needs.

If someone destroys treasures and is noticed by him, he insists on hiding treasures and not offering them, and orders to hand over them. The people of Su and Hang have no place to complain about their grievances, and they are unable to speak of their suffering. Moreover, he calls on the workers to drive out, dig mountain chariot stones, even if they cut the walls, they will instruct them to move them and not shirk their responsibilities. Even if they are in the abyss of scattered valleys, they will try every means to get them. As for transporting things, no matter how merchant ships are, they will not violate them once they are designated. Zhu Jie pretends to be powerful and is extremely fierce.

The Taihu stone he purchased was four feet high, carried with giant ships and thousands of boatmen, and transported to Bianjing after several months. Zhao Ji was named "Shenyun Zhaogong Stone" and named "Pangu Marquis". Zhu Xie was therefore promoted to Weiyuan Jiedu. After that, he used his privileges to publicly plunder, and Zhu Xie became a landlord with private armed forces. He had ten farms, 300,000 mu of fertile land, and collected more than 100,000 stones per year. A land famous garden, almost half of Wu County, and his family was equipped with food and forced to eat, and Hua Zhi was over.
