He sneaked into the palace of King Haichang. The palace is located in the center of Fucheng and covers a large area. night. More than half of the lights in the palace have been extinguished. The Sanjin House located on the central axis is still brightly lit. This King of Haichang was less than forty years old and was in the prime of life. We are having fun here, drinking wine, listening to music and watching dancers perform. He was accompanied by officials and generals from the local government, as well as prominent local wealthy people and guests from the royal palace. The scene was very lively. Everyone talks about romance and government affairs. When it comes to the new emperor's succession, it is inevitable that there will be some comments and complaints, and all kinds of conspiracy theories will inevitably arise. From beginning to end, King Haichang did not participate in the conversation and seemed to be in low interest.
Seeing nothing special, Chen Guanlou simply found a deserted courtyard in the palace to live in. When he was hungry, he went to the kitchen to eat. After living and observing for a few days, it turned out that King Haichang was an ordinary royal clan member with average talents and average fertility. Fertility is all about the number of women. The woman who gave birth to the most children only gave birth to two. Many women don't even have a child. Many young and beautiful women have never been pregnant. Tsk tsk! King Haichang is not in good health! As for the rules and policies in the fief, King Haichang's main function is to listen to advice. The rest all depended on the palace officials, to be precise, the palace chief, who was a practical guy. If you can serve as a local official, you may be able to benefit a certain country. After experiencing life in the palace for a few days, Chen Guanlou continued to the palace. The palace is built on the edge of the mountain forest, attracting mountain spring water and hot springs. It is a good place for rest and vacation. The eunuchs and maids in the palace were all losers in the palace's internal fights. After their defeat, they were sent to the palace where they could never stand up again. He walked around the palace wantonly, hiding himself and observing carefully. Until he heard a palace maid mention 'that madman', he thought to himself that maybe this trip was not in vain. He arrested a palace maid and asked about the whereabouts of 'that madman'. "Who is the madman you are talking about? Where is he?" "Who are you?" "If you say it, you will live! If you don't say it, you will die! I'll give you half a cup of tea and think it through before answering." Chen Guanlou is hidden in the darkness, creating a mysterious atmosphere. The head maid looks very gentle and delicate, and her appearance is not too outstanding, but she gives people the feeling of an IKEA room. He's not too old, probably in his early twenties at most. I don't know how I got around, but I ended up in the palace. I will never get ahead, and I don't even have any money. There is no 'master' here, so there is no one to reward you, and there is no opportunity to make extra money. There is only a monthly amount of silver every month. After paying homage to those old eunuchs, I guess there will only be a few coppers left. Year after year, with no money and getting older, he was sent to the palace, which was one of the worst treatments besides death with a stick. The eldest maid gritted her teeth and said, "I said, don't kill me."
Chen Guanlou took out a piece of silver and put it on the table. "To be honest, the silver is yours. If you don't tell the truth, you won't see the sun tomorrow." The eldest palace maid stared at the silver in front of her, and as expected, the word "passionate" flashed in her eyes, "I have never seen a madman, and I only helped deliver bedding once. The madman was imprisoned in the Houshan Temple. I heard Xiao Dezi said that he was crazy every day, even he was Everyone has forgotten." "How old is Madman?" "She must be very old. It was cold in spring a few days ago, and Eunuch Liang sent for a doctor to treat the lunatic." "When was the lunatic imprisoned in Houshan Zen Monastery?" "It seems to be the year before last. I don't know the specific time. Everything is decided by Eunuch Liang. Eunuch Liang doesn't like to use us palace ladies, and would rather use those little yellow men. Good man, what I said is true. Stay in the palace. The palace maids are most responsible for cleaning. We cannot participate in other matters, and we are not qualified to participate. " "How to get to Houshan Zen Monastery?" "After leaving the palace, if you walk towards the back mountain, you will see a stone road going up the mountain. Follow the road all the way up and around the corner, you will see the Zen Yuan. I heard people say that there used to be an old monk in the Zen Yuan. After the old monk died, , the monastery became popular until the lunatic moved in. " The eldest maid was panting and nervous. She was still waiting for the hero to continue questioning her. After waiting for almost a stick of incense, she boldly raised her head and looked around. "A good man? A good man?" The eldest maid stood up and opened the window suddenly, letting in the light. There wasn't any good guy in the house. The good guy had already left. But the money is still on the table. And there was not only one ingot of silver, but also a fifty-tael silver note. The eldest maid grabbed the silver and banknotes, looked around nervously to make sure no one was there, hid the money and left in a hurry. Chen Guanlou walked all the way to the back mountain, followed the stone road, turned a corner, and saw a simple Zen temple. The monastery is maintained and although it is simple, it is not dilapidated. The walls, columns, doors and windows clearly show signs of repairs in the past two years. The kitchen chimney, smoke curling up, is cooking dinner. Three or five people from the small Huangmen gathered in the foyer to gamble. The disabled old eunuch swept the courtyard with a broom. Walking along, passing through several moon gates, he finally came to the backyard and saw 'that madman'! It’s Taifu Zhuang! "Master, do you remember me?" Looking at the old, thin, messy old man in front of him, Chen Guanlou could not combine the former Taifu with the person in front of him. "Who are you?" Master Zhuang raised his head and looked at him with some confusion. Chen Guanlou took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from the corners of Master Zhuang's mouth and his messy beard. "Master, don't you remember? I'm Chen Guanlou, the Chen Guanlou in the Tianlao Jia-shaped prison. When you were in Tianlao, we talked a few times. The Chen of Pingjiang Hou." "Pingjiang Hou, ah, I remember now. Pingjiang Hou, Pingjiang Hou, Pingjiang Hou... Hey, who are you, how did you get in?"
Chen Guanlou froze instantly. Alzheimer's disease? ! Master Zhuang has Alzheimer's disease? "Grandmaster, do you remember how you got here?" "Ah, I remember now. You are the third child of the Xu family, right? You have grown up so much. Did your father beat you? This old man..." "Grandmaster, do you remember your name?" "Name? Name! By the way, what is your name?" "My name is Chen Guanlou." "Chen Guanlou? I don't know! I want to go to the palace to give lectures to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Don't block my way. You students of the Jixia Academy who ignore the law should all die." "The Crown Prince has ascended the throne." "Nonsense. The Crown Prince has just reached the age of twenty, and Your Majesty is in his prime. Don't provoke the father-son relationship between Your Majesty and the Crown Prince. Who are you and why are you in front of me? Come on, come on, quickly take this thief down, he wants to harm the Crown Prince."
