    In the first year of Apocalypse, on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, it is advisable to cut wood for cooking and avoid traveling for weddings and funerals. Looking at Wang Chengen behind him, Emperor Apocalypse frowned slightly, as if he was a little unhappy when he saw a young man on the side. Emperor Apocalypse was satisfied.  He nodded, obviously liking him very much. Several people were walking in the south city of the capital at this time. Emperor Tianqi was dressed like a rich man, dressed in white, holding a folding fan in his hand. On the surface, there were eight royal guards following Emperor Tianqi, holding hands.  They all held knives and had expressionless faces. However, these eight people's eyes were very bright and they were constantly scanning the crowd. Ordinary people did not even dare to look at them. The people around them knew that this was a rich man at a glance. Everyone  They all walked around and dared to run rampant in the capital. Obviously, their status was extraordinary. The whole city of Beijing was filled with nobles and dignitaries, and there were as many officials as dogs. If you threw a brick, you might hit a fourth-grade official. "Wang Chengen, what are you doing?  "Don't be so mean, haven't you seen so many people on the street paying attention to us?" Emperor Tianqi hit Wang Chengen's hat with a folding fan and said rather unhappily, "The palace is preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.  There were many important events in the court. The Empress Dowager ordered the Mid-Autumn Festival to be lively. Emperor Tianqi didn't think it was anything, so he agreed with a smile. However, when Wang Chengen told Emperor Tianqi that the number reported by the eunuch in charge of the Empress Dowager, Emperor Tianqi said  Now I can¡¯t calm down anymore. To buy gifts, reward nobles and ministers, and treat nobles and ministers to dinner, the total amount will cost 800,000 taels. This is the Empress Dowager¡¯s instruction to be frugal and not to be extravagant. Obviously, the old  The wife also knew how to save money for her son. However, Emperor Tianqi was obviously dumbfounded. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, 800,000 taels of silver were gone. Thinking of those extremely rich princes and nobles, Emperor Tianqi wanted to snatch all their money and now he still has it.  Although Emperor Tianqi wanted to reward them, he wanted to change the reward to a box of mooncakes per person. Of course, it was not a sky-high price, but he could only think about it. He sent Wang Chengen to check and found that the various expenses were indeed not excessive, and the procurement was also handed over to Longchang Company.  If you do it, you will rarely think about your promise to the Empress Dowager when you commit corruption. Emperor Tianqi had to bear the pain and part with him. Later, he thought about it, it was a waste anyway, so why not simply be generous and directly approve one million. "Sir, it's too messy here.  Are you looking for some people?" Looking around, Wang Chengen said carefully, "Do you think it's better for us to go back? It's too dangerous here." Looking at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but sigh.  , this person came out of the palace, always looking like this. Wang Chengen nodded quickly and said with a smile on his face: "Then go back!" But seeing the look of Emperor Tianqi, Wang Chengen knew that he had said the wrong thing, and gently  He slapped himself and said flatteringly: "I'm wrong, everything is decided by the young master." After taking off his glasses and wiping them, Emperor Tianqi did not look at Wang Chengen, but turned his attention to Chen Hong's work.  Emperor Tianqi, whose son was now a young eunuch named Chen Lin, asked with a smile: "Is there anything new happening in the capital recently?  " Emperor Tianqi is not willing to stay in the palace. Although he has approved one million taels, he always feels sad when he sees the arrangements of Emperor Tianqi in the palace every day. Now that the whole court is busy with rewards, naturally there is no Emperor Tianqi.  It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and no one is looking for trouble with Emperor Tianqi at this time. How could Emperor Tianqi return to the palace at this time? Although he was also very concerned about the progress of Luo Sigong, since there was no news, Emperor Tianqi also  There is no way. "I have been preparing for the festival when I returned to the city. However, the people who went to Beijing to take the exam have already arrived in the capital, so this year's festival will be more lively. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is in power, and we have won several battles this year. The common people  They are all very happy." Chen Lin looked at Emperor Tianqi flatteringly and said with a smile. He nodded noncommittally. Emperor Tianqi put on his small sunglasses. This is what Emperor Tianqi asked the general to spend a lot of effort to make. Now he is walking on the street.  It can be said that it has a 100% turn-around rate, but to face this big sun, Emperor Tianqi feels that he should wear a little better. In his previous life, he always watched the dandy young master in the TV series, wearing sunglasses, holding a fan, and carrying a thug, walking in  There were birds and beasts scattered everywhere on the street. Emperor Tianqi was looking for this feeling at this time. After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi asked with a smile: "Is there a place in the capital where these people often go?  Let¡¯s go and have a look, too, to see the young talents of our Ming Dynasty.¡± In countless works, the aura of the protagonist appears at this time. There will definitely be adventures when you go out. If you can meet any talented people from all over the world this time, that is also  Maybe Emperor Tianqi is very interested. After a moment of pondering, Chen Lin said with a smile: "Young master, if you ask about such a place, there is only one place."?There were originally two, one was the original Feng Yue Tower, and the other was the current Wangjiang Tower. Feng Yue Tower is now the Longchang Tower of Longchang Company. I heard that Wangjiang Tower also changed its owner, and it seems that it was also taken over by Longchang.  I bought Changshang House, but because of the good location and it being a gathering place for literati, most of the gathering places for scholars this year are at Wangjiang Tower, where poetry gatherings are also held from time to time." He nodded slowly  Nodding, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Then let's go to Wangjiang Tower!  "I want to see the young talents of our Ming Dynasty." Wang Chengen on the other side breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Emperor Tianqi was going to Wangjiang Tower. In his opinion, Emperor Tianqi was the place where literati gathered.  The place I should go to was relatively safe, so I quickly said with a smile: "Wangjiang Tower is great!  "As he spoke, he looked at Chen Lin again and urged: "Don't lead the way yet!  " Chen Lin's eyes shrank slightly, but his expression did not change at all. He smiled flatteringly at Wang Chengen and said with a smile: "Okay!  The younger one will lead the way, and the young master is here to invite you.¡± The group of people didn¡¯t delay and went straight to Wangjiang Tower. Speaking of Wangjiang Tower, few people in the capital don¡¯t know that it¡¯s a high-rise building beside the South Sanmen moat.  The fourth floor is a very rare high-rise building in this era. The decoration is very gorgeous and the scenery is pleasant. Not far from Wangjiang Tower, there is the widest part of the South Gate moat. There are willows on both sides, which is very suitable for literati to recite poems and compose poems.  Not far from Wangjiang Tower, there is a small pier, which is specially prepared for guests by Wangjiang Tower. If you dislike the crowds in the building, you can charter a boat and explore the capital along the moat while fishing and enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides.  It is a great joy in life. Although Wangjiang Tower is already very attractive, the most attractive part is not here. It is that the girls in Wangjiang Tower are of course not prostitutes. Wangjiang Tower is not a brothel, but a  The girls in teahouses and restaurants in Wangjiang Tower don¡¯t accompany guests, and they don¡¯t even perform arts, let alone sell themselves. The girls in Wangjiang Tower are all bought at a high price, some are trained by themselves, and every one of them is very beautiful.  Beautiful and all virgins, everyone is good at playing chess, calligraphy, painting, harp and flute. The girls are in Wangjiang Tower every day, dancing and writing with others, playing music and flute. The most important thing is that Wangjiang Tower is not  Restrict the freedom of these girls. If anyone can win the girl's heart, he can redeem their life. Of course, the cost of redemption is quite a lot. If the girl is not willing, then the money you spend is useless. In such a place, there is naturally a lot of money.  It is a place that literati flock to. If you take a beautiful woman on the lake, talk about life, and show off your talents, it will naturally be a great pleasure in life. Silent all the way, Emperor Tianqi and his party came to the outside of Wangjiang Tower.  The reason why he was stopped when he entered was not complicated. Each person could only bring one person in, and warriors were not entertained here. For this kind of blatant discrimination, Emperor Apocalypse immediately frowned, but no one around him felt it.  What is abnormal? Obviously in this era, this is the correct three views. Emperor Tianqi felt that he should self-destruct in the three views. "Every two of us go in, is that okay?"  "Wang Chengen looked at the four big men guarding the door and said with an unhappy expression. He had not encountered such a thing for many years. He was already furious. He shook his head gently. The guard had no expression on his face.  He said: "The rules of Wangjiang Tower are that if you want to go in, please change your clothes before you come. But even if you change your clothes, you can't go in because you are too old!"  Seeing what Wang Chengen wanted to say, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand gently and said in a deep voice: "Okay, stop talking!"  You take a few of them to a place, have something to eat and drink while you wait for us!  " "Yes, Master!  "Although he felt a little unhappy, Wang Chengen still bowed respectfully, nodded in agreement, and waved to Chen Lin. Emperor Tianqi waved the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, we're going in!  " "Please pay the entrance fee!  "As soon as Emperor Tianqi raised his leg, the doorman spoke again and said, "How much?  Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but be surprised. How does this look like traveling in later generations? He actually asked for tickets, but he didn't care, and asked in a calm tone. The expression on the man's face did not change at all, and he said in a deep voice: "Twelve!"  "The expression on Emperor Tianqi's face suddenly became very exciting. This is really a thing for the rich. Reading does cost money. He nodded to Chen Lin. Emperor Tianqi gestured with a folding fan and said with a smile: "Give me money.  !  "Emperor Tianqi naturally had no money, but Chen Lin had already prepared the money. After giving the money, the two of them walked in slowly (To be continued)
