Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 5: The Secret Behind the Brothel

"Change the name?" Lu Bu handed the bamboo slips to Xun You and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

After all, Lu Bu didn't change the year name after taking control of the court. It's not necessary. It can be changed or not. If so, there is no need to change it. Now it is officially written in the memorial.

"Last year, the imperial court defeated Yuan Shu, and his prestige increased greatly. In addition, Guanzhong is now stable and prosperous under the lord's rule. You think it should be changed." Xun You said with a smile.

"Then change it, let them discuss the year name, so that the officials in the court have nothing to do and stare blankly." Lu Bu approved the memorial with a swipe of his pen.

Xun You nodded, not at all moved. It wasn't that Lu Bu listened to him, it was purely that Lu Bu didn't want to waste energy and time on such trivial matters.

Changing the year name is actually not a trivial matter. The year number often represents a symbol of a period of time and is also a mark, but for Lu Bu, it is obviously a trivial matter, and a year name cannot change any practical problems.

But for the officials in the court, this matter is of great significance. When the history books record the change of the year name, it will always mention who took the year name, and a good year name also represents a kind of expectation for the future. .

For example, the reign title of Chu Ping, don’t you think he is flat now? This is obviously brought about by the year name, so this time, changing the year name is also hoping to get a better meaning.

For Lu Bu, it would be nice if this group of people could find something to do on their own. Although the imperial court no longer pays their salaries, they still can't let a bunch of people stare at the court every day.

"Didn't Zhang Yang say he was willing to go to the court? Why didn't you believe me?" Lu Bu asked. He didn't go to the street today. The most important thing is that this matter has passed for a long time. Su went to lobby Zhang Yang to vote for the court.

Moreover, he had also received a clear reply from Zhang Yang, but now there has been no news. This matter needs to be urged. Whether Zhang Yang belongs to Lu Bu is very important. Hanoi is an enclave for Lu Bu, separated by Hedong. Moreover, it is close to Jizhou and Yanzhou, so it is not a must-win place, but the Zhangyang Bingzhou Army is what Lu Bu wants.

If Zhang Yang is willing to surrender, Lu Bu can start preparing to take down Bingzhou and Hedong, and it doesn't need to use the power of Guanzhong, just rely on Zhang Yang.

"This one hasn't received the news yet, so I'm going to be urged by someone?" Xun Youshi said.

Lu Bu glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Leave this matter to Dezu."

Even though they are both from great families, they are fundamentally different. Compared to Xun You, Lu Bu trusts Yang Xiu more.

Yang Xiu didn't expect the two of them to talk about the matter, but in the end the matter fell on him. He was not at the scene. After knowing the matter, he probably understood Lu Bu's mind. Without saying a word, he got up and went to Hanoi to find Zhang Yang.

Not to mention that the Yang family wants to join Lu Bu, but at least in Yang Xiu's opinion, following Lu Bu is very promising. Many of Lu Bu's policies are more friendly to young people, which is why he is willing to support Lu Bu.

Xun You had guessed the ending. Lu Bu would let him deal with trivial matters or some major matters with little harm, but when it came to important matters, Lu Bu would not trust him, let alone let him touch them.

He was somewhat dissatisfied, but Xun You also knew that there was a big gap between himself and Lu Bu. If this gap was not resolved, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to trust him, and it was impossible for him to be loyal to Lu Bu sincerely.

A monarch who sees everything is really not a good thing for those who stand on the opposite side, and it is not easy to deceive. Xun You also thought about winning the trust of such people.

If my family is wiped out, and all the people in the clan are dead, then I don't have any psychological burden to go to Lu Bu, but...

The Xun family, how could it be destroyed? When Lu Bu's power grows stronger, and when most people are unable to resist him, the conflict between the aristocratic family and Lu Bu will end.

Compromise is an art, and most aristocratic families understand this art.

After solving this matter, Lu Bu checked that it was still early. Jia Xu was resting at home today. During the non-war period, most officials had one day off every five days. It was very rare for him to come out, so Lu Bu brought Xun You out.

"My lord, where shall I go today?" Dian Wei helped Lu Bu make a pot of tea, followed the two out, and asked while looking at the bustling streets.

"Since Gongda is here today, let's go to the brothel. It's more lively there." Lu Bu asked casually, "Does Gongda know where the brothel in Chang'an is more lively?"

After hearing the words, Xun You hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.

"The brothel?" Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, do you want to bring weapons?"

Lu Bu and Xun You looked at Dian Wei strangely, why did they think of bringing weapons when they went to the brothel?

"Saber is enough." Lu Bu shook his head, and did not ask Dian Wei why.

Walking on the street as usual, although what I want to go to is a brothel, but there is no sense of urgency, and I will stop and watch when I encounter something of interest.

Dian Wei had gotten used to Lu Bu's rhythm, but it was the first time that Xun You came out with Lu Bu. Standing beside them, he felt somewhat out of place, as if there was an invisible line separating Xun You and Lu Bu. place, but the feeling is not the same way.

The place that could have been reached in a quarter of an hour had to be walked around for an hour. Lu Bu and Dian Wei were in good health and had nothing to do after walking for a long time. Xun You followed them, but he was out of breath.

"Gongda, you can't do it, you're not as good as Fatty Jia!" Dian Wei glanced at Xun You with a bit of disdain, what's wrong with young people nowadays... Xun You is not a young man either.

Xun You: "..."

He sort of understood why Jia Xu looked so half-dead when he came back with him on the first day, wandering around the streets with these two, it's not something ordinary people can stand without a bit of physique, no wonder he felt that Jia Xu's paragraph Time has thinned out a lot.

"My lord, Yaxuan Pavilion is ahead, I'll go in and rest for a while." Xun You looked at Lu Bu and said.

Lu Bu was originally here to see the brothel, so he nodded and took the two of them straight there. Xun You was obviously a frequent visitor, and the staff directly led the three of them to the elegant seat where Xun You often came.

Elegant and unique decoration, the air is filled with a faint fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed, a few pots of flowers are decorated, it is obviously not too big, but there is a sense of emptiness, looking through the window, you can see the first floor On the stage, the dancing posture of the dancers on the stage is clearly visible, and the melodious music is like gurgling water, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"If the lord has a woman he likes, you can invite the lord to play or dance alone." Xun You said with a smile.

"My lord, do you think someone really spends a lot of money on these dancers?" Dian Wei poured a cup of tea for Lu Bu, took a moment to glance at the stage downstairs, and asked a question that he had never been able to figure out. Why would someone spend a lot of money on a dancer? I really want to, it is enough to buy the dancing girl back like Zhang Ji did, why bother?

"Then we have to see who is behind this woman." Xun You was about to perfunctory, but Lu Bu spoke up.

"Behind?" Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu blankly, "What do you mean?"

"It's like I've taken a fancy to a certain dancer, but with my current status, it's not suitable for me to take her home, so let her stay in the brothel and perform dances for others." Lu Bu sipped his tea and said: "Then You want to bribe me, you want to give me a sum of money, and you don't take it back, so you spend a lot of money just to win a certain beauty, don't even touch it, and leave after listening to the song, but the money ends up in the end. It's in my hands."

Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu, and after a long silence, said, "Is it so troublesome to offer bribes?"

From Dian Wei's point of view, didn't the two of them stay in a shady place in private, and then discuss it properly, with a bit of a smirk on one side giving the other away?

"In the early years, the ten permanent servants would accept this way. A man of the Qing Dynasty must have a reputation. If you accept it like this, you can get immediate benefits, but your reputation will also be ruined, and your official career may also be ruined because of it. People look down on you if you eat too badly.” Lu Bu took a sip of his tea and looked at the onlookers downstairs who had already started throwing money. They were all sensible, and there was no such kind of person throwing money, so he was somewhat disappointed.

"Celebrity? Heh~" Dian Wei looked disdainful after hearing this, and then looked at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, since you know this, why don't you kill such corrupt officials?"

"It's not necessarily greed. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Sometimes officials need to use some means." Lu Bu shook his head, looked at Xun You and said with a smile, "Does Gongda think so?"

Xun You nodded silently. He didn't expect that after just a visit, Lu Bu could clearly see some of the activities behind the brothel. Lu Bu should have never been in contact with brothels before. After all, he only came to the Central Plains for two or three years. It is a war, but now it is clearly explaining another source of income behind the brothel, which is a bit scary.

But looking at Lu Bu's attitude, although he knew it, he obviously didn't mean to study it carefully. While Xun You was relieved, his heart sank slightly. It was obvious that Lu Bu wanted to use his own hands to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, so that the officials would be more afraid, and some things should not be done Crossing the border, their handle is already in Lu Bu's hands.

If you don't pursue it, it's just that you didn't touch Lu Bu's bottom line. If you really did, do you think Lu Bu will directly use it to turn his face?

It's been a while since I've been in contact with Lu Bu. Xun You has no doubts about the black belly of his lord. This thing can be used or not. A sword!

"My lord, why are you so clear?" Dian Wei suddenly looked at Lu Bu curiously. How many people spend their days and nights in brothels, I'm afraid they may not be as clear as Lu Bu usually said. Can experience know this? But Dian Wei followed Lu Bu almost every day, and Lu Bu must have never been to this place.

"No one in this world is a fool. When you think others are stupid, there must be something behind it that you don't know." Lu Bu said casually.

Xun You smiled wryly again, since he followed Lu Bu, his smile has never been sweeter, he followed a monster himself!
