Chapter 10 The strange situation that Hongwu has witnessed in twenty-five years
The rear residence of the Prince of Zhongshan.
Zhu Gaochi, who looked very festive, glanced at Yang Feng, and then turned his eyes to his aunt.
"The Fourteenth Aunt is Gao Chi's elder. Although it is wrong to leave the palace without authorization, we, the juniors, cannot talk too much. However, Gao Chi will definitely report this matter.
Please Fourteenth Aunt please stay here temporarily."
He said with a young and mature look.
"you……"
His aunt's expression changed and she immediately grabbed him.
"The fourteenth daughter of the Emperor, this is the duty of the Emperor's grandson. You are here to wait for His Majesty's orders."
Zhang Xianzong quickly stopped her and winked at Yang Feng.
Yang Feng was admiring Xu Da's garden as if he hadn't seen it.
However, Xu Da had been dead for many years at this time, and the person who really lived here was his son Wei Guogong Xu Huizu. This palace was very large, but it was not luxurious in terms of how luxurious it was. At least it was obviously simple compared to those palaces that have been preserved to modern times.
Many, mainly the level of decoration is much worse...
"Yang Zhuangshi?"
Zhang Xianzong said quickly.
"Ah, just wait here!"
Yang Feng gave perfunctory persuasion, and then succeeded in attracting firepower.
Zhu Gaochi took advantage of his aunt's rage and turned to Yang Feng, quickly broke away and walked out, and then the guards also left.
In a blink of an eye, there were only three of them left here.
"Let's go!"
Yang Feng picked up his big bag and walked out under the confused gaze of the little princess.
"The Emperor's Fourteenth Daughter, the Emperor's grandson has made arrangements. Let's go out through the back door. There are people waiting outside. They will escort us north after leaving the city. The Emperor's grandson is also very filial to the Emperor's Fourteenth Daughter. After all, if you return to the palace again, you will inevitably ask for help.
He was punished, but the emperor's grandson did not dare to deceive his majesty, so we had no choice but to make this arrangement. Let's go north first and hide with the King of Liao for a few days. When your majesty's anger subsides, you will finally love the fourteenth daughter of the emperor. Then you will naturally do the same.
Then you can follow the imperial edict and return to the palace."
Zhang Xianzong quickly explained to the little princess.
"snort!"
The little princess snorted contentedly.
Then she followed Yang Feng out. Zhang Xianzong had obviously been here before and gave them directions from behind, and the three of them walked into the depths of the garden.
"Why aren't there many people here? It's a palace after all. Shouldn't it be full of slaves?"
Yang Feng looked at the garden without even a single figure and said.
"Yang Zhuangshi was joking. According to your majesty's system, the slaves of the three dukes are not allowed to exceed twenty. Unless there is an additional imperial gift, they are not allowed to exceed the limit. Wei Guogong is a first-class governor, and there are only twelve slaves, even though there are still some hired servants in the mansion.
The maidservants are not in groups. There are also 120 personal soldiers given by the emperor, who belong to the military household. They are all training in Shaanxi with Duke Wei."
Zhang Xianzong said.
"So the majestic prince only has twelve domestic slaves?"
Yang Feng said in shock.
Zhang Xianzong nodded.
"No, he is the second generation. Didn't his father leave some behind?"
Yang Feng asked.
"The slaves of King Wuning of Zhongshan were his own slaves, not the slaves of the Duke of Wei. After King Wuning of Zhongshan passed away, he had to hand over his name and registration, and the imperial court would return his registration as a citizen."
Zhang Xianzong said.
"So this slave can't inherit?"
Yang Feng said unexpectedly.
As he spoke, he pulled the trigger with his finger in his arms...
"boom!"
Gunfire suddenly rang out.
The bullet hit the stone slab at Zhang Xianzong's feet. Zhang Hanlin screamed when the gravel splashed. The next moment, all the people hiding around him jumped out. Some were holding crossbows, some were holding hooks and sickles, and some were holding fishing nets. They all kept attacking.
He looked at them with a rather awkward posture. Behind these people was Zhu Gaoxi, who was carrying a big stick, and a man in his twenties wearing armor and holding a knife in his hand.
"I'm just saying, the royal palace cannot be so deserted."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Get this monster!"
Zhu Gaoxi shouted with a wave of his stick.
"Xu Yingxu, how dare you be rude!"
the little princess said angrily.
The man in armor was stunned for a moment and looked at her doubtfully...
"The emperor, the emperor's fourteenth daughter?"
He said with trembling lips.
"Second uncle, this monster is holding Fourteenth Aunt hostage, let's just capture him!"
Zhu Gaoxi shouted.
"Xu, Mr. Xu, aren't you curious about what happened in the palace last night, why the fourteenth daughter of the emperor suddenly appeared here, and why the emperor blocked the news? You are also an adult. This kind of child cannot
You are sensible, are you also ignorant? Your Majesty the Emperor blocked the news, but you found out about it. I feel that if I had such a nephew, I really wish I could go back and slap him. I have seen a son who cheated on his father, and I saw him again today.
You’re trying to trick your uncle’s nephew.”
Yang Feng smiled happily and said.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Yingxu's face. He stood there holding the knife as if he was stupid.
Zhang Xianzong, who originally looked like he was about to cry, suddenly calmed down and signaled to the little princess.
Then he walked towards the swords and guns with a determined look on his face.
Yang Feng followed calmly. Although the little princess was confused, she still hurriedly grabbed his clothes, and they walked straight into the encirclement. The Xu family slaves looked at Xu Yingxu, but the latter stood there blankly, trembling.
The knife in his trembling hand was shaking. Zhu Gaoxi was still urging, but this was the Xu family, and the slaves would not move unless Xu Yingxu gave an order. Yang Feng and the other three walked up to Xu Yingxu, and Yang Feng suddenly
Stopped, then he reached out and poked Xu Yingxu's arm...
The latter's knife fell to the ground instantly.
"Ha ha……"
Yang Feng smiled.
Then he just walked away with a smile.
"Why didn't he turn around and slap Zhu Gaoxi?"
At the back door, Yang Feng asked Zhang Xianzong.
"Well, although Commander Xu is the second son of Prince Wuning of Zhongshan, he is a commoner."
Zhang Xianzong quickly answered.
"Ah, I don't have much status in the Xu family. No wonder I'm so easily coaxed by Zhu Gaoxi."
Yang Feng said.
Then they left the Xu family.
Outside were Zhang Xianzong's old servants and donkeys, but there were also six other guards who had followed Zhu Gaochi before. However, they had all changed their clothes and were not riding horses. Therefore, the ambush of Yang Feng was not an order from Zhu Gaochi, but a simple-minded man with well-developed limbs.
Zhu Gaoxi did it. As for Xu Yingxu, he was simply tricked by Zhu Gaoxi. He didn't know the truth. As a concubine, he needed to show his enthusiasm in front of a direct nephew like Zhu Gaoxi, but he didn't expect to be involved in the secrets of the palace. Suddenly,
shocked.
Zhang Xianzong then got on a horse, but the little princess got on his little donkey...
She is still a book girl!
It is obviously wrong for the master to ride a donkey and she to ride a horse, but it is quite reasonable for the master to ride a horse and a book boy to ride a donkey.
A Hanlin led a scholar, an old servant, six guards, and a porter. This very reasonable combination went straight to Treasure Collection Gate.
Next to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion is the main street leading directly to the city gate.
After turning to the street, Yang Feng immediately saw the towering castle at the end...
"I fired a gun before, why didn't anyone seem to care?"
Yang Feng looked at the Jubaomen tower in the distance, then looked at the peaceful atmosphere around him, and asked somewhat strangely.
next moment……
"boom!"
There was an explosion far behind him.
Pedestrians on the street calmly turned their heads to the northeast, looked at the rising black smoke, and then continued to do whatever they were supposed to do.
"The Gunpowder Bureau is located in the north of Huaiqing Bridge, and accidental explosions of daily trial production of gunpowder are common. There are even military camps throughout the city, and training and firing of firearms occurs almost every day."
Zhang Xianzong said with a smile.
So no one in this city really cared about the few shots Yang Feng fired.
Then the little princess riding a donkey came out from the Xufu Street at the back, and then let out a happy shout. She ran between them like an Erha who was about to demolish the house, and rushed towards the flowers in front. This street was very obvious.
It's a flower market. Not only are the shops on both sides making all kinds of fake flowers, but there are also people who sell flowers on the street with burdens. Some shops even display potted flowers...
The whole street is.
Yang Feng had no interest in taking care of her, since she didn't have any money anyway.
He looked curiously at the street, where a strange combination was walking by, two young men wearing green headscarves, green belts around their waists, and leather boots on their feet...
Furry leather boots.
And it's obviously made from some of the most common livestock skins.
So it looks like it has two hooves.
But they were carrying a flat wooden board on their shoulders, with a sickly old man lying on it, and two similarly dressed people were supporting him next to him to prevent him from falling from it. After all, only a flat board was wider than a pole.
It’s just wood. It obviously requires some skills to sit on it. However, it can be seen that these five people are not Han people and should be regarded as Semu people. This is the early Ming Dynasty. There should be a large number of Semu people left in the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, there are many people on both sides.
There are many shops.
"Didn't you say that common people are not allowed to wear boots, and they can only wear leather ties around their ankles even in winter? This is obviously not an official, right?"
Yang Feng said.
"You are a shameless person, and you are only allowed to wear furry leather boots like this."
Zhang Xianzong said.
"What about this wood?"
"Bianzhang, they are too old and sick to walk. They can only ride on Bianzhang when they go out. They are not allowed to ride horses, donkeys, or cars."
"It's too harsh, you can't treat people like this."
Yang Feng sighed with emotion.
While they were talking, a group of obviously bored people walked towards those lewd eyes.
One by one, they deliberately walked to the side of the wall with smiles and joy. Those lustful eyes stopped quickly, stood there looking at them with a flattering smile, and bowed grovelingly. These people walked by proudly, but in the past moment, one of them suddenly
After pushing his companion, the latter bumped into the flat stick in an exaggerated manner. Semu, who was holding the flat stick, was so frightened that he quickly ran away, but instinctively walked towards the middle of the road. The old man above was so frightened that he immediately became energetic and shouted loudly for them not to go in the middle.
, but was eventually forced into the middle of the road.
The group of idlers stopped leaving immediately, and rolled up their sleeves one by one and rushed over.
"This, is this bullying?"
Yang Feng said.
Poor Semu fell on the road and was beaten along with his carryers.
"It is indeed bullying, but under His Majesty's system, those with low looks and lust are not allowed to walk in the middle, and those who dare to walk in the middle will be beaten to death by others, so bullying is also in line with the law.
But my country, the Ming etiquette country, is like this..."
Zhang Xianzong sighed with emotion, and then looked at Yang Feng's expectant eyes.
"Of course, Your Majesty also wants to understand the distinction between Hua Yi and Yi, the difference between noble and humble. We, a country of great etiquette, should teach the world with etiquette. The distinction between Hua Yi and Yi, the difference between noble and humble, are all based on etiquette!"
He said solemnly.
