Chapter 1131: Bad Idea

Drinking flower wine definitely didn't include the monk Jueneng, but it did include the Emperor's "brother-in-law" Gu Yiyang.

Gu Yiyang's status was special; it was said he was serving time, but actually he was on vacation. After changing his clothes, Chen Guanlou took him out. He wasn't worried about the other party escaping.

Who would escape from prison if they were serving time properly! Unless their brain was flooded.

Prisoners in the Grade C prison might escape, at most change their names, change their identities, and be a good man again.

Aristocratic sons, proper officials, unless they were crazy, no one would take a step out of the Heavenly Prison. Even if you held a knife to their throat, they wouldn't.

Gu Yiyang, because of the Xiao Changsheng incident, was stimulated. When he arrived at the painting boat, he stood at the bow of the boat with a wine pot and sang loudly, venting his feelings and venting wildly.

Chen Guanlou didn't care about him, took Pure Yang Zhenren and sat in the cabin, watching the dancing girls perform.

It was so beautiful!

The silver of thousands of taels was worth it.

Pure Yang Zhenren drank sullen wine; no matter how beautiful the singing and dancing girls were, they couldn't make him move any worldly heart. He had long passed the age of not being able to move when seeing a beautiful woman. As the saying goes, having seen all the sails, all the beauties are just skin and bones. Having seen through it, a heart is detached from the mundane.

Chen Guanlou gave the Zhenren a thumbs up, "It has to be Zhenren, sitting still and not chaotic! I have to learn from you."

Pure Yang Zhenren laughed at himself, "This Daoist is unable to protect himself, so Chen little friend should stop laughing at me."

"Isn't it just being left in the capital by the Emperor, why worry so much. You just follow his words, say whatever he likes to hear, it's easy!" Chen Guanlou gave an irresponsible bad idea, completely without heart.

Pure Yang Zhenren frowned, "Doing that wouldn't make me a sycophant! The reputation I've maintained for so many years will be ruined."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "If you want to leave, it's actually easy, just go against the Emperor. If he says east, you say west; if he points north, you say south. In three or five times, he will drive you away."

"You you you... if you don't want to give this Daoist an idea, forget it, how can you talk nonsense. Playing the piano randomly."

Chen Guanlou laughed again, "Zhenren, don't be angry. I just said it casually. I know your distress, and I know what you want. It's just that your demands are a bit high, a bit difficult, both wanting the Emperor to value the Jade Spring Palace, and not wanting to show your face in the palace, and wanting the Emperor to ignore you, tsk... to be honest, it's a bit difficult. I ask you, what does the Emperor value most at the moment?"

"What does he value most?" Pure Yang Zhenren frowned and thought deeply.

Chen Guanlou didn't disturb him, picked up his wine glass and ran to the bow of the boat to accompany Gu Yiyang in his absurdity, baring his chest and singing to the moon. The painting boat next door was annoyed by their noise and stood at the bow scolding. Chen Guanlou directly sprayed water, laughing loudly.

If it weren't for the madam coming forward, they would have fought.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, the painting boat also has rules. At least don't make it too difficult for us."

"Madam, you are not authentic. You took my money, but you still have rules. I tell you, in this place, money is the rule."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's words are wrong; money is useful in this place, but it is not always useful. There is something better than money, and that is power. Maybe a guest in a painting boat is a powerful person with a big background, and we can't afford to offend them! You are a martial artist and you are not afraid, Master Gu has the concubines in the palace to take care of, naturally not afraid. But we lowly maids are scared to death! Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, please have mercy on the fragrance and cherish the jade, at least give us a way to live."

"Look at what you said, is it that serious? Forget it, forget it, I won't cause trouble, that's fine. However, if someone takes the initiative to provoke, don't blame me."

"If someone takes the initiative to provoke, you don't need Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to come forward, this maid will scold him to death first." The madam looked coquettish.

Saying it's a madam, actually she is only twenty-something or thirty years old, and her color is just right.

Chen Guanlou laughed and drilled back into the cabin.

The singing and dancing girls all retreated.

Pure Yang Zhenren sat on the couch, beckoned, and let Chen Guanlou get closer.

He whispered: "I observe that what the Emperor values most at present is his own health, as well as seeking immortality. Immortality is illusory, but longevity can be sought."

"The Emperor has not established a crown prince for a long time, is it because he looks down on every son fairly, or because he thinks he has decades to live, so he is not in a hurry."

"It should be the latter." Pure Yang Zhenren lowered his voice, "The Emperor is very conceited, confident that he can live at least thirty or forty years, so he is not in a hurry to establish a crown prince at all. He even regards every adult prince as a confidant's trouble, guarding against them everywhere.

This investigation of Feng Shui by the Imperial Observatory, involving Xiao Changsheng's eight characters, was resolved because Imperial Consort Xiao used a beauty trick. Do you think the Emperor doesn't know the truth behind it? Actually, the Emperor is clear in his heart; he is just deliberately sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, watching the harem fight, watching the princes fight.

Protecting Xiao Changsheng is protecting Imperial Consort Xiao, protecting Imperial Consort Xiao is not wanting the harem to be dominated by one family. Imperial Consort Xiao has three sons, and has the strength to fight. The Empress's status is there, and she is naturally a strong contender. Coupled with other concubines, each has its own backing. Several families are fighting, so the harem is peaceful. What the Emperor wants is peace, fighting is fine, as long as it doesn't affect his seeking longevity."

Chen Guanlou heard this and asked curiously, "In your opinion, how many years does the Emperor have?"

This is taboo.

No one dares to discuss the Emperor's longevity publicly, and even discussing it privately is not allowed. You can only think about it in your heart.

Don't the Imperial Physicians know the situation? But they never say it! Even if it is a person on the pillow, don't want to dig a true word, a pulse record from their mouth!

But he asked!

In his view, this is not a taboo at all. It is clearly self-brainwashing, self-shackles.

Pure Yang Zhenren's beard trembled, stimulated, "You really don't have a gate on your mouth."

Chen Guanlou didn't care and drank a glass of wine, "I don't participate in the struggle for succession, just asking casually. Even if you don't say it, one day I will enter the palace and take a look, and I can see a rough idea."

With his martial arts cultivation, observing people's breath, vitality, and judging a person's rough longevity is not a difficult thing.

It's just that most ninth-grade martial artists in the world won't do this, avoiding getting involved in the struggle for power in the red dust, affecting their Dao heart. If the Dao heart is broken, going crazy, it's not worth the loss!

Any ninth-grade martial artist is pursuing the Dao, thinking about going further, stepping into the master realm. Until the moment of falling, no one will give up.

Only Chen Guanlou cares about these gossip.

Pure Yang Zhenren had a helpless expression, "I observe the Emperor's face, ten years or so is not a problem."

"So short-lived?" Chen Guanlou was very surprised.

"Is it short-lived? The Emperor is just an ordinary person, has not practiced martial arts, and at such an age, it is already longevity." Pure Yang Zhenren snorted.

Chen Guanlou suddenly realized.

In this day and age, being able to live to fifty or sixty years old is indeed called longevity, especially for ordinary people. As an emperor, fifty or sixty years old is also a normal age to pass away. Most healthy emperors left at this age. ===== CHAPTER 1132 =====
