When the emperor of the Daqian Empire still had power, Prince Kang's Mansion could be said to be the busiest place. If officials in the world wanted to climb up the ladder, then Prince Kang's Mansion was a place they couldn't get around. But now the situation is that the front door is deserted and the traffic is sparse. It can't even keep up with one percent of the original one. Even many vendors selling goods at the door have left.
Originally, there were many people coming and going at the entrance of Prince Kang's Mansion. Even if you sold a candied haws here, you could support your family every day. But now, it only takes half a day for a car to come by, and most of them are here to have a look. There are not many People have to get out of the car. If you do business in such a place, I'm afraid you will lose all your capital. After these small merchants and hawkers moved, the original streets were wider, so it also caused Prince Kang to The house is a bit deserted.
Today's situation makes many people around feel a little uncomfortable, because they are already used to the desertedness of Prince Kang's palace. Today, there are actually many soldiers from the anti-lundering army standing at the door. If no big shot comes, they will not use them. Most of these soldiers are from the security group within the city. The common people have also made a clear distinction over the years. If the anti-rogue troops outside the city are used, it means that something important has happened, or the person coming is more important.
If Gao Shaoyi wants to invite Prince Kang to come out, he must visit the thatched cottage three times. However, Gao Shaoyi knows that Prince Kang is keen on power. This period of time should have suppressed the old man enough. He was originally at the top of the country, but now he is at home. I have been idle for a long time. If there is an opportunity to go out, I believe Prince Kang will never let it go.
Sun Qiang was wondering while driving Gao Shaoyi. In the past, when Gao Shaoyi came back, most of the time they only had a few people from their own guard platoon, and they did not know how to use the troops from the capital. Today, I don’t know what happened. An order was given in advance to the army in the capital, asking them to clear the two surrounding streets. Our prince is not the kind of person who disturbs the people. What is going on today?
Gao Shaoyi knew that the people below were very confused, but he did not explain this matter. Gao Shaoyi had to let Prince Kang feel it. Prince Kang's life has been relatively deserted during this period, so we have to restore him and let him have a good time. Think back to how you lived before. If you can remember it, maybe our persuasion is half successful. No man wants to stay in his own home, not even his own uncle. When Gao Shaoyi asked Prince Ding to go to Seine City as an envoy, Prince Ding readily agreed.
"All stand at attention."
When Gao Shaoyi's car stopped, the thousands of soldiers at the door stood up straight and looked at the car in the middle with admiration. Although Prince Kang did not come out, there was a car at the door. The housekeepers are all watching here honestly.
"Greetings to the prince."
Now most people have learned modern etiquette, especially when Gao Shaoyi is wearing a military uniform, many people only know how to salute, and absolutely no one will kneel down to say hello, but in the eyes of many nobles in the Qian Empire, they must This is the only way to do it. If not, it means that these nobles have become outdated, so they stubbornly ask their subordinates to still adopt etiquette.
"Is the prince at home?"
Gao Shaoyi said knowingly that he had already asked people to find out clearly. In the past half month, Prince Kang had not left this house at all. The main reason was that he did not know where he was going, although he still had the title of prince.
, but judging from the current situation, there are not many people who still respect him. The emperor is no longer the emperor before. What is the use of a mere prince like you? Although he has the title of auxiliary prince, but
If the imperial court no longer has power, can you still work?
"Going back to the prince, my prince is fishing in the garden, my servant will lead you there?"
The chief steward said cheerfully, this guy has not seen such a scene for a long time. To be honest, it turns out that in this capital, they are the most comfortable people. They live a pretending life every day, no matter what.
Are you a police officer in the capital or a governor outside? As long as you come to this three-acre area of the palace, you must pay money honestly. If the money is not enough, then you will be in the concierge.
Enjoy it. No matter how important your matter is, as long as there is not enough money, we will not report it to you. This is also the rule of the palace.
It turns out that when Prince Kang had power, the great steward in front of him, for example, could earn at least hundreds of silver coins every month. Coupled with the filial piety of many people below, the great steward's family fortune was not a trivial matter. Although every
The monthly salary is only fifteen silver coins, but the money received from other places is dozens of times this amount.
But since the emperor's secret troops were wiped out, the old-style bureaucrats in the entire imperial court don't have much power anymore. The officials below are not fools. The officials in the capital themselves are very poor. If it weren't for the filial piety given to them by foreign officials, they would
It was impossible to live a normal life, so even the housekeepers were living a bad life.
"Excuse me, butler."
In the past, Gao Shaoyi personally gave the money, but now Gao Shaoyi is the auxiliary prince of the imperial court, so this job is naturally handed over to Sun Qiang next to him. Sun Qiang took out two hundred banknotes from his pocket and stuffed it directly.
In the hands of this guy, this guy was deeply moved. Let alone this time, even when Prince Kang was the most popular in the past, not many people could give him two hundred silver coins at once.
He really thinks highly of them, even if they are servants in the palace, they are still servants.
Gao Shaoyi used to come here often to see his father-in-law. Later, after Rongkang went to Daliao Province, Gao Shaoyi didn't come here as often. In addition, his wife didn't come here often, although there are still
There is a wife's grandfather, but the relationship between the two is not very good, so the communication between the two princes is only superficial.
Today Gao Shaoyi walked into Prince Kang's Mansion again, which can be regarded as an ice-breaking operation. As for whether this ice can be broken, it depends on the discussion later.
