After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 361 [Continued] Nonsense
The name of this lake is Yahu. There are winding corridors on the lake, and the workmanship is exquisite. If there is a knowledgeable person, I am afraid that they will be able to recognize them immediately. Timber is used to make cloisters. In the whole world, only a few people can enjoy it like this.

At the end of the corridor came the faint sound of silk and bamboo. The brightly lit place turned out to be a water pavilion. Because it was summer, the doors and windows around the water pavilion were wide open, and there were fifteen palace lanterns placed on the floor in the corners. The warm yellow candlelight flickered Then, the entire water pavilion is reflected like daytime.

The blue silk curtain beside the door and window was blown up by the wind and swayed slightly. It looked extremely transparent under the candlelight. If you look carefully, you can find that the dark lines on the silk curtain are lifelike, as if they are alive.

A beautiful woman is kneeling on a jade mat, with a guqin in front of her. Her eyebrows are lowered, her posture is docile and graceful, and her slender fingers are like green onion tubes. They are lightly twisted on the thin strings. There is no sound in the pavilion. It is fragrant, but there is a fragrance floating in the air, which makes people can't help but smell it again and again.

It was a banquet, and several people at the banquet exchanged cups and cups, and exchanged cups, chatting and laughing at Yan Yan, and one of them said with a smile: "I heard that there is a pool of red lotus in Your Highness's mansion, but it is outside this water pavilion?"

The person leaning in the middle of the head above was none other than His Royal Highness Duan Geng. Hearing this, he said, "That's right, this red lotus was brought from Taihu Lake in Xuzhou by an orphan, and it was planted here. In the lake."

Another official said: "I have heard that the red lotus of Taihu Lake is very famous, and its peculiarity is that this kind of red lotus can only grow in Taihu Lake. Once it leaves the water of Taihu Lake, it will wither and die. But really?"

The prince laughed and said: "The red lotus has been moved five times in total. The first few times it couldn't survive, and it died within a few days after planting it. Later, the craftsmen thought of a way and sent people to directly remove the red lotus from Taihu Lake. Even the mud and roots were transported to Jindu, so they survived."

He said with a look of color on his face, and said: "Now is the time when the red lotus is in full bloom, but unfortunately it is night and I can't see clearly, otherwise it would be better for everyone to enjoy the red lotus of Taihu Lake."

Another official immediately interjected: "That's because the ministers came here at a bad time. If there is a chance next time, and you come to bother His Highness's house again, you must give it a reward carefully."

Everyone immediately laughed in unison, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more enthusiastic.

After drinking for three rounds, the prince at the top gave a wink to the palace man who was serving beside him, the palace man immediately understood, raised his hand and patted it lightly twice, the sound of pipa came from outside, and everyone stopped. After finishing the conversation, they all looked in the direction of the entrance of the water pavilion, and saw a touch of red appearing in everyone's sight.

The red is extremely warm, like a ball of fire, and it moves towards it lightly. It is a beautiful woman, dressed in a fiery red gauze, with light steps, dancing like a butterfly.

The sound of the pipa is beautiful and melodious, blending with the dance steps of the woman, it is like fairy music. The woman who was playing the guqin also plucked the strings immediately, the sound of the silk tung of the guqin and the sound of the pipa harmonized together, and the yarn The clothes are swaying, and under the warm yellow candlelight, the woman has a slender figure, her waist is like a wicker, and she is so moving that people can't help but marvel when they see it.

Everyone held their breath in unison, quietly watching the ball of flaming red fluttering, the woman's steps were light, graceful like a frightened bird, graceful like a dragon swimming, every move, every frown and smile revealed an astonishing beauty. beauty.

That's all, the lingering sound is still there, the red veil gradually fell to the ground, the woman smiled, her eyes were like silk, and the air was silent for a moment, the prince looked at the stunned officials around him, very satisfied, and smiled meaningfully: "My lords, this is also a red lotus. I wonder how it compares to the red lotus in Taihu Lake?"

Suddenly someone shouted: "Good! Good!"

Only then did the crowd come to their senses one after another, scrambling to praise: "This song should only exist in the sky, it is rare to hear it in the world!"

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

"Although I haven't seen the red lotus in Taihu Lake, but in my humble opinion, this red lotus is slightly better, hahahaha."

All of a sudden, there were praises one after another, and many people's eyes lingered on the three women in the hall, showing a faint salivation.

The prince smiled and said: "In that case, then please, my lords, appreciate the lotus."

As he spoke, he winked at the palace man next to him, and the palace man clapped his hands immediately. Outside the door, a group of women in blue dresses filed in. All of them were so beautiful that they were stunned. A group of officials.

The woman who was dressed in red gauze before also snuggled up to the prince's side at this time, raised the jug, and poured wine for him graciously. Wine is worth thousands of dollars, and ordinary people may never have seen it in their entire lives.

The crown prince picked up the glazed cup and said with a smile: "My lords, I will drink this cup first as a respect."

"The minister is terrified."

All the officials raised their wine cups one after another, and immediately drank them down, and Maggie beside them immediately poured new wine for them, very attentive and considerate.

The crown prince put down the glazed cup, looked at the officials drinking, quite satisfied, and said: "I invite you here today, and I think you adults already know what you are doing."

When the business came, everyone was refreshed, and one person hesitated: "What His Highness said, is it about Chizhou?"

The prince's expression was slightly restrained, and he said displeasedly: "What's going on in Chizhou? Why doesn't Gu know?"

As soon as the words came out, the man knew that he had said something wrong, immediately got up and knelt down and said: "It's the minister who made a slip of the tongue, Chizhou is fine."

The Prince's expression immediately eased, he waved his hands, and said: "Sir Liu, please take your seat, what I'm talking about is that a few days ago there were unscrupulous people beating the Dengwen drum."

Everyone knew it well, but at this time they pretended to have just realized it, and nodded to express their clarity.

The prince was very satisfied when he saw them doing the right thing, and then he continued: "There are unscrupulous people who sue, saying that Chizhou officials are protecting each other, they are greedy for ink, they are greedy for public funds for river repairs, and they even collect taxes privately, saying that Dou Minhui, the governor of Chizhou, did not commit suicide in fear of crime. , but was coerced by others, and died in vain in desperation."

An official immediately said: "It's nonsense!"

Another person also echoed: "Indeed, the case of the Baisongjiang river repairing public funds was closed as early as May, and the corrupt officials were also investigated. Why did such a person appear all of a sudden?"

"There must be ulterior motives!"

Everyone was very indignant and accused the person who harbored evil intentions one after another. The prince immediately felt better, and said: "Everyone here is a sensible person, and you must not be deceived by such a stupid trick. The emperor has already entrusted the matter to you." The Ministry of Punishment, now the Ministry of Punishment has also started the trial, and I don’t know what will come out of the trial, but I will wait for the king’s salary and share your worries. Don’t let the father be deceived and wronged the good official. When the time comes, please adults Keep your eyes open and examine carefully."

He spoke a few words very carefully and carefully, but extremely clearly. All the people present here are elites in the officialdom. yes."

"This should be a matter of the minister."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the ministers will live up to their trust!"
