Legend.
At the peak of the dynasty called Datang.
Chang'an City has a permanent population of 1.8 million, and the number of people entering and exiting the city every day is as high as a terrifying three million.
Compared with the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Sheng Shen City, the capital of Shen Kingdom under the Han Valley boundary, is even worse.
What a majestic city this is.
The bronze nails on the city gate are as big as wheels, and the city wall is nine feet and ninety feet high.
Looking up from below, it's like standing under a hill, and you can't even get a full view of the city wall.
Of course.
This is a paradise for the Machiavellian and a hell for the downtrodden.
Vegetable buns cost one cent outside, but they cost two cents here.
Wontons cost three cents, but here they cost five cents a bowl.
Don't tell me it's expensive.
If you dare to say that, someone will definitely reply to you in a long voice and in a condescending tone: 'Where are you from, country bumpkin? Do you know where this is? The capital is under the emperor's feet. You can't stand this. Go back to your hometown as soon as possible.'
As the saying goes: ‘Noble land deprives life, rich land worries thieves, nothing in the world is better than this.’
Shengshen City.
East District, Anding Street.
Hongyun Building.
"Ten people, five upper rooms."
"Every morning, lunch and dinner, meals are prepared and delivered to the room."
It was originally based on Princess Luo Ling’s wishes.
She has a princess mansion in the imperial capital, and Jiang Xuan and his party can live there.
If you feel that there are too many people, there are villas outside the city, which have everything you need, and you will feel like living at home.
But Jiang Xuan refused.
No reward for no merit.
He escorted Princess Luo Ling south, and Princess Luo Ling applied for him to enter the royal arsenal, which was a transaction in itself.
Now that things are done, one is one, and two is two. It must be clear what needs to be figured out.
Jiang Xuan doesn't want to be included in the princess party, nor does he want to get involved in the struggle between Princess Luo Ling and other princes and princesses. If he lives in the princess mansion or the imperial mansion, it will be bad for people to think wrongly.
"The Biography of Jiang Zhen."
"Your place is quite remote, making it easy for Zajia to find it."
Evening.
Eunuch Hong came with several young eunuchs, and he didn't come empty-handed. He also brought two carts of gifts: "Concubine Shu lives in a deep palace, so it is inconvenient to meet outsiders, but she is still thinking about you. Isn't that right?"
, asked me to bring some gifts to say thank you for taking care of the Fourteenth Princess along the way."
The little eunuch is carrying things inside.
Jiang Xuan looked at it.
Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, ginseng, precious medicines, as well as some gold and silver jewelry and silk and satin.
Let’s say it’s expensive.
For ordinary people, these are good things and can relieve thousands of sufferings.
Let’s just say it’s not expensive.
Jiang Xuan is very rich and has little interest in things that money can buy.
"Eunuch Hong, where is the token for borrowing the arsenal books?"
Compared with these mundane things, Jiang Xuan cares more about practical things.
"Jiang Zhenzhuan is too impatient..." Mr. Hong laughed openly: "Every token for borrowing the arsenal books is unique. Concubine Shu has intervened in your matter. The Zongren Mansion has already approved it. We will wait for the order tomorrow morning.
Once the cards are made, they will be delivered to you."
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "It all depends on Eunuch Hong."
Speaking.
Jiang Xuan stuffed two thousand-tael banknotes and whispered: "I can't let my father-in-law run away in vain. You have tea..."
"How embarrassing."
Eunuch Hong looked around and quickly put away the banknotes. Then he thought that he was not the one who got the money for nothing, so he warned: "In the imperial city, all the princes and princesses are friendly on the surface, but secretly, they are indispensable for fighting openly and secretly. The fourteenth princess
He knows how to be a good person, and his relationship with the other princes is good, but only the sixteenth prince..."
Lowering his voice: "Shu Fei is not born as a Shu Fei. Do you think this is true?"
Jiang Xuan understood instantly.
The palace is a hierarchical place, and so is the harem.
The one at the top is the queen.
Below the queen are the four concubines: noble, virtuous, virtuous and virtuous.
Further down.
Twelve concubines, thirty-six nobles, and seventy-two beauties.
Although Eunuch Hong did not say it explicitly, the implication behind his words was: 'When Concubine Shu was still the guest concubine, she competed with the mother of the sixteenth prince for the position of fourth concubine.'
The result.
Obviously, Concubine Shu won and she became Concubine Shu. Then the mother of the sixteenth prince was naturally forced to die in the position of concubine.
"There is a saying that a son inherits his father's inheritance, and there is another saying that a son inherits his father's hatred."
Eunuch Hong said bluntly: "Although the sixteenth prince cannot practice martial arts and is famous as a sick boy, his mother's family cannot underestimate him because he is the famous Duke Zhu."
"Besides, the Sixteenth Prince loves reading. There is no place like the Hanlin Academy or the arsenal that he doesn't go to."
"Jiang Zhenzhuan will go to the arsenal to study tomorrow. There is no chance that he will meet the Sixteenth Prince. The relationship between the Sixteenth Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess is not good. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhenzhuan says that you are the princess's son, so don't blame the Za family for talking too much. Palace
It’s no big deal, so be careful when the time comes and don’t be like those wild rabbits and let others put them on you.”
As soon as I heard this.
Jiang Xuan remembered the sixteenth prince in his mind and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Eunuch Hong, I am most afraid of trouble and I will definitely be careful."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Gonggong Hong pointed out his intention: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has been favored by the Holy Emperor. Now she patrols the border on behalf of His Majesty and has entered the realm of Grand Master. Her position in the palace is more stable. It is expected that the sixteen princes will not be able to stir up any trouble."
Come."
Speaking.
Eunuch Hong thought of another thing: "Jiang Zhenzhuan, if I remember correctly, the newly appointed headmaster of Baishou Palace, Yue Zhenren, seems to be your master."
Jiang Xuan nodded.
His mentor Yue Zhishan is the elder of Jingfang, ranking sixth in the Baishou Palace.
In terms of rights.
Master Puhe is ranked first.
Yuan Shuxin, the head of the three capitals, ranked second.
Dushuozhenren ranked third, and Duchuuzhenren ranked fourth.
Further down.
The elder of Wufang ranks fifth, and the elder of Jingfang ranks sixth.
According to rankings, Elder Yue should not be the head teacher.
But what?
Yuan Shuxin assassinated Zhenren Puhe, apostatized and established his own family.
As a result, the other two Duzhenren who worked with him, namely Dushuozhenren and Duchuzhenren, suddenly became embarrassed, so they would not be considered for the position of head teacher, and they could only be chosen from the elders of the martial arts room and Jing Jing.
Elder Fang chooses one of the two.
Now that Elder Yue has been chosen, Jiang Xuan is not surprised.
His mentor is a staunch royalist. In contrast, Elder Wufang's faction is not obvious, and he is relatively neutral in his behavior and actions.
The Baishou Palace was single-handedly supported by the Luo family, and its location is also within the territory of Shen Kingdom.
It is impossible for the Shen Kingdom royal family to allow a neutral faction to be the headmaster of Baishou Palace, so at this point in the game, the only person who can take over as headmaster is Elder Yue.
"Jiang Zhen teaches the method of good luck."
"Now that Elder Yue has assumed the position of headmaster of Baishou Palace, as Elder Yue's disciple, Jiang Zhenzhuan, you can be regarded as the headmaster's personal disciple."
Eunuch Hong first said congratulations, and then said: "I don't know if you have received the news, but His Majesty has recruited Master Yue to return to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit. Counting the days, Master Yue will be here soon."
Hmm?
Think about the flying pigeon letter that he tore up and asked him to return to the mountain gate to report on his work.
