As they talked, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Shunyi Prince's Mansion.
This is the headquarters of the army, and the Chinese army is stationed here.
"This gatehouse is very good when it comes, very impressive, and still in the style of our Ming Dynasty." Zhang Shize praised.
A majestic gate tower stands in front of you, with a vermilion door and door nails. On the plaque hanging above the central door, there are several golden characters of "Shunyi Prince's Palace" written in Chinese characters and Mongolian script.
Yang Fan carefully looked at the shape of the palace. This was a rare opportunity to visit the palace of a foreign vassal.
Facing the south is the main gate of the Prince's Mansion. There are three gates, one bright and two dark, with a courtyard in the middle. There is an eight-character wall outside the gate. Facing the south is a green brick screen wall, which contrasts with the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
There are a pair of white marble stone door piers on both sides one meter inside the palace gate. The red lacquer door shines with fifty-six special copper nails eight vertically and seven horizontally, showing the majesty of the palace.
The Prince's Mansion in Shunyi faces south, and its architectural structure is very unique and unique among palace buildings. This Prince's Mansion is a typical Ming Dynasty architectural style. At the same time, it also absorbed many grassland elements.
The gate of the palace faces south. The foundation of the entire palace is made of large bluestone strips. The walls are made of water-polished blue bricks, with overhanging eaves. The roof is decorated with five ridges and six animals. The materials used in the house are also very particular.
It is said that when the beams were being erected for the construction of the royal palace in Anda, due to the northwest wind, the unfixed beams fell down, killing several craftsmen on the spot, and the building collapsed.
This sudden accident made Anda feel that the houses built by the Han people were not strong and unsafe. Therefore, the houses built after that, including the palace bedrooms and the east and west wing rooms, all had double trusses, double beams, and thick columns.
Five thick round wooden pillars were erected in the front hall to serve as the hall. As a result, the structure of this building is very strong, which is rare in the world.
This kind of construction method was not available in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Shize and Yang Fan were amazed when they visited it.
"I underestimated this An Dahan. I didn't expect that he also had a lot of research on the architecture of the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Shize said.
"After all, I have ruled the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, and I have learned a lot of knowledge." Yang Fan said.
There are three courtyards in front and back of the palace. The front and back courtyards are separated by partition walls and have hanging flower doors to enter. The middle of the front courtyard is the living room, and the east and west sides are the conservatories. The front palace has three east and west wing rooms. The second courtyard is the palace bedroom, with five large rooms. The backyard
It's a storage room.
The entire palace is not large in size, and there are no gardens, but the place is very spacious.
There are roses and lilacs planted in the courtyard. According to the servants who have not escaped in the mansion, every summer, the whole courtyard is filled with fragrance.
The Mongols fled in such a hurry that many servants and maids did not have time to escape. At this time, they all stood aside with their hands down in fear.
"Which of you knows where the princess's house is?" Yang Fan asked.
An old nun came out and saluted respectfully: "I am the wet nurse of Your Highness the Princess. I will take you there."
Yang Fan looked at her for a while and asked: "Are you Han?"
"This slave is from Mizhi, Shaanxi Province. She was kidnapped and brought to Fengzhou. Because her milk is good, she was given to the princess and the little prince as a wet nurse."
"Oh, so these two children can speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin."
"Speaking, both young highnesses can speak fluent Ming Dynasty Mandarin. The old prince and princess also hired a Dingbian Juren master to teach the two young highnesses. Both highnesses are familiar with the Four Books
From the Five Classics, the little prince also learned archery from Zhebie."
Yang Fan had known that An Sanxi had stayed here for ten years. He had developed all his skills here.
Hearing that the little princess was still familiar with Han culture, Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. This would reduce many obstacles to communication in the future.
Zhang Shize was a little confused. Yang Fan was not very fond of women, so why did he change his gender today? He asked about the girl. I heard that the little prince fled to the Junggar tribe after the big change last year. This year
I heard that he died of illness. The little princess is also missing.
Could it be that the little princess is a stunning beauty? Why haven’t I heard of it?
However, when he went to see someone else's boudoir, Zhang Shize felt that he couldn't afford the price, so he just stood here and looked at the sky, waiting for Yang Fan to come back.
After a while, I looked at Yang Fan, the beast, who came back with a smile but not a smile. I felt a sense of contempt in my heart. This beast usually pretends to be cold, but this time he ran to see someone's boudoir. It was really cold.
"This little girl, even the maids are Han. There are books in the room, but she loves to read." Yang Fan shook his head and said with a smile. I thought that for a Mongolian girl, the room was full of knives, bows and so on. The furnishings were also ugly.
Tiger skin, antlers and so on. I didn't expect it to look like the boudoir of Xiaojia Biyu in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhang Shize rolled his eyes and pretended he didn't hear anything. He coughed and said, "Should we report the master's matter?"
Yang Fan slapped his forehead and said: "Yes, this matter must be handled as soon as possible. If His Majesty can agree, Qinghai and Zang District will be settled, and our left wing will have no worries."
Yang Fan wrote the memorial in the lobby of the palace, sent a six-hundred-mile dispatch, and explained in detail to the emperor the importance of canonization and the important role of Qing Zang in the security of the Ming Dynasty. He also said that this was a victory without bloodshed, and he won peace.
The country south of the Great Wall, which is about the same size, has made great achievements in opening up territory and expanding its territory to thousands of miles.
After sending the letter, Yang Fan beat drums and gathered generals at the Shunyi Palace and began to make arrangements for sending troops to attack Jiuyuan City tomorrow.
The six-hundred-mile journey was expedited, and the post horses changed horses one day and one night without changing people, and they galloped six hundred miles one day and one night. The memorial was sent out in the afternoon of the third day, and the memorial arrived in the Forbidden City on the morning of the third day.
At this time, Jiang Bingzhong was still slowly walking back with his troops. The imperial court had no idea about the victory in Guihua City. The palace gate had not been opened this morning, and the messenger had already arrived outside.
According to regulations, although the palace gate cannot be opened before the hour, except for urgent orders within 600 miles, the letter is handed in through the crack of the door, and there is no delay in even a breath of time.
In the morning, Chongzhen was used to getting up early. He had just finished washing and arrived at Qianqing Palace early. He was sitting down in the Xinuang Pavilion and was about to have breakfast. He saw the eunuch Bingbi who was on duty for the night, hurriedly holding Yang Fan's six hundred miles.
Came in quickly.
The Si Li Jian is known as the head of the twelve eunuchs. There are eunuchs such as the admiral, palm seal, Bing Bi, and Suitang. The admiral eunuch is responsible for supervising all etiquette, criminal names and management in the imperial city, and supervising various affairs. The Si Li Jian is known as the "
Known as the "First Department".
The admiral supervises the daily work of various matters in the palace, while the eunuchs in charge of the palm are responsible for assisting the emperor in handling government affairs. There are eight or four or five eunuchs under the palm of the palm. Generally, the eunuchs who hold the pen are ranked second, and the three eunuchs are at the same time.
Admiral Dongchang.
At this time, Wang Chengen was only a member of the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was responsible for the rituals. There were many eunuchs at this time.
Wang Chengen saw Cao Huachun, the eunuch Bingbi who ranked first among the ceremonial supervisors, coming in. He also gave a slight salute behind His Majesty.
Chongzhen put down the buns and asked, "Cao Banban came so early, but what happened?"
