After the carriage stopped, Aji took out the horse stool from the back of the carriage and said, "My young prince, I will help you get into the carriage." Aji wiped the horse stool with his sleeve.
"Nanny Su, Xiaoman, why don't you come up?" Zhu Muchen stepped onto the carriage and asked after seeing that the two of them were still not coming up.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Su said: "This elephant chariot is not for slaves like us to ride on. It is our blessing that slaves can serve our masters." Aunt Su and Xiao Man knelt on the ground and refused to get on the cart.
"Get up quickly, come up. You keep calling me master, but you don't listen to me. This is an order. I'm bored in the car alone." After Zhu Muchen said that, he entered the carriage.
"Girl, follow me in the car." Aunt Su wiped her eyes and said to Xiao Man beside her.
Being able to sit on this elephant chariot as a slave is truly a blessing earned in a previous life. The last time Aunt Su sat on this elephant chariot was more than twenty years ago. She sat with the princess, and now she sat with the young prince. At this moment, he
My heart burst into tears of gratitude.
After Nanny Su and Xiao Man got on the bus, they knelt down next to Zhu Muchen. It was the master's grace to get on the bus. If they dared to sit on an equal footing with the master, then they would really be kicking their noses in the face and not knowing what to do.
, she still understands the basic common sense about how old Xiao Man was when she started working as a maid, not to mention Aunt Su. Zhu Muchen also had no choice but to say nothing to the two of them. He didn't want to embarrass the old and the young.
, the carriage started moving slowly, Aji and a dozen guards followed closely behind, and the group set off in a mighty manner.
People on the road avoided each other. Even the small vendors on the roadside quickly moved their things and moved back to make way for the carriage. In the Ming Dynasty, carriages were a very luxury item. Only high-ranking officials owned carriages. Ordinary people could not afford carriages.
Yes! At that time, having a carriage was as valuable as having a Rolls-Royce Phantom or a tank now. It was not something that ordinary people could own, nor could they be driven casually! Not to mention how luxurious this carriage was.
, this class of high-level carriage only has four horses, and the carriage in front of you has eight horses. If you disturb this kind of carriage, it will definitely not be as simple as getting slapped on the wall. People who are smart enough to go out on the street will avoid it.
"This place is quite big. Is this all the territory of our palace?" Zhu Muchen asked as he looked out the window.
Aunt Su responded: "The perimeter of the Prince's Mansion is three miles, three hundred and nine paces and a half. The height of the city is two feet and nine feet, the width at the bottom is six feet, and the width at the top is two feet. Another rule is that the width from east to west is one hundred and fifty feet.
An inch and two cents, the length from north to south is one hundred and ninety-seven feet, two inches and a half, nearly 500 acres."
"The building is large in scale, majestic and resplendent. It is surrounded by tall city walls and four city gates. The city tower is covered with blue glazed tiles, and the gate is decorated with red lacquer and gold-coated copper nails. The main gate of the four cities of the palace is Duanli in the south and Duanli in the north.
It is called Guangzhi, in the east it is called Tiren, and in the west it is called Zunyi."
"Entering the city, there are three groups of main halls with a base height of six feet and nine inches, followed by the Chengyun Hall, the Circle Hall and the Cunxin Hall. The front hall, the Chengyun Hall, is the largest, with a width of seven rooms. It is the main body of the entire palace building, followed by the Circle Hall and the Cunxin Hall.
Cunxin Palace,"
“All the palaces have arched roofs, with dragons painted in the center, decorated with gold edges, and painted with eight auspicious flowers. The seats in the palace are painted with red paint and gold dragons, the hanging accounts are decorated with red pins and gold dragons, and the back wall of the seats is painted with gold dragons.
Chi Caiyun."
"The main entrance, front and back halls, and four gate towers are decorated with green and gold. The verandah of the palace gate and the gate tower are all covered with blue glazed tiles. The Prince's Palace must be decorated with vermilion, blue, and green, and other bedrooms are only decorated with red and green."
"The two verandas of Chengyun Hall are the two halls on the left and right. There are two verandas from Zixin, Chengyun, and the two verandas around to Chengyun Gate, which are one hundred and thirty-eight rooms. Behind the hall are the front, middle, and back palaces, with nine rooms each. The two rooms of the palace gate and other rooms
Ninety-nine rooms. Eight hundred rooms are unusual for palaces. The gallery rooms are decorated with indigo."
"In addition, there are dozens of gate towers, courtyards, chambers, kitchens, warehouses, rice warehouses, etc. The Sheji and Shanchuan Altar are located in the southwest of the royal city, and the ancestral temple is located in the southeast. The entire feudal kingdom is surrounded by east, south, west, and north.
The fourth battalion has more than 200,000 soldiers, and there are more than 15,000 guards in the prince's palace." Aunt Su introduced Zhu Muchen in detail about their family's background. It was rare for Zhu Muchen to ask her this question in more than ten years.
Grandma Su was also very excited about such a question.
Zhu Muchen was stunned when he heard this. The property I bought is really big! From now on, it will all belong to me. What about playing? Why is it like a dream? He doesn't have to worry about how he got here now. He is thinking about it in his mind.
Thinking about how to have fun here in the future, as long as this great enterprise does not rebel, there will be no need to fight until death. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Stop the car, Aunt Su, let's go down for a walk." Zhu Muchen looked at a crowded alley and shouted.
Zhu Muchen thought to himself, they are all here now, there is no point in thinking so much, let's travel and relax first.
"Then the old slave will accompany the master for a walk." Nanny Su responded.
Zhu Muchen was just like a normal person today. Aunt Su was very happy. She felt that Zhu Muchen's condition must have improved. If she walked with him more and felt better, maybe the brain disease would be cured.
A group of people entered the market, Zhu Muchen walked at the front, accompanied by Nanny Su and Xiao Man, and Aji followed closely with the guards. Zhu Muchen visited every corner except the brothel.
"Master, it's time for us to go back. It's getting late. We'll come back to play some other time," said Aunt Su, wiping the sweat from Zhu Muchen's forehead.
Zhu Muchen was also tired. He had played all the things he should do, and it was time to go back to eat. He thought that he should not starve himself to death, but should be kind to himself. If he rarely encounters great wealth, he would have to live a few more years.
"You little bitch, how dare you bite me? Take it off and see how I deal with you when I get back." A loud noise suddenly came from not far away. Some of Zhu Muchen's people were just about to leave when they were attracted by the sound.
"Let's go take a look." As soon as Zhu Muchen finished speaking, the person had already walked over.
"Master, slow down, hurry up and catch up." Aunt Su chased Zhu Muchen with great difficulty and shouted to the guards behind her.
With a "pop..." sound, a man knocked a woman to the ground and said, "Take it away." Two big men walked out from behind the man and picked up the woman who fell on the ground.
"You despicable, shameless, dirty and despicable villain, let that girl go." Zhu Muchen shouted to the people who were about to take the woman away. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he thought of the scene in the TV series.
I yelled the lines randomly.
As soon as these words came out, except for the few men who caused trouble, everyone watching the excitement was also stunned. It is illegal to curse people in the streets of the Ming Dynasty. According to the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty", even the people's curses must be controlled. What's more,
Specific provisions have been issued.
After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to maintain the dominance and absolute leadership of the Mongolian people, the people were divided into three, six or nine classes.
Therefore, the influence of Chinese culture on the Mongolian nobles was relatively small, but the folk customs were open and wild, and they would not care about a few curse words from others.
Of course, if people who are lower than them scold them, they are guilty of the following and must be punished.
In any case, swearing was very common in the Yuan Dynasty. But in the Ming Dynasty, there were relevant laws and regulations.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer and had not read many books by sages, this did not mean that he did not respect etiquette and law and did not pay attention to moral education. On the contrary, he believed that if a nation or a country wants to develop for a long time, it must be virtuous.
fundamental.
If people cannot live in harmony with each other, conflicts will be resolved through violence. If things go on like this, civil strife will continue, which will affect social stability.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not want to see the country he had worked so hard for become like this, so he wrote the prohibition of swearing into law to restrain the people.
But this is also an extremely unequal legal provision. The restricted objects are only ordinary people who have no official status. It is not binding on those who have official status.
"You are so outrageous. Where are you from? Get him and send him to the government." A man asked a few big men behind him to capture Zhu Muchen.
Just when the two big men wanted to capture Zhu Muchen, they were knocked down by several guards behind Zhu Muchen and pushed to the ground.
"How dare you be rude to my master." Aunt Su said, standing in front of Zhu Muchen.
"You damn old woman, do you know who I am? I, Guo Gainai, am the son of Lord Changshi, and I am a fifth-rank official in the dynasty. You fools, why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake?" The man put his hands on his hips and arrogantly said.
The way.
"You are the one who doesn't know whether to live or die, you blind dog slave. If you hurt my master in the slightest, let alone you, your father will be killed." Aunt Su pointed at the arrogant Guo Gai.
"My master is the eldest son of Prince Chu's palace, and you are the one who wants to kneel down." Aji pursed his lips, clenched his fists and arched his waist, as if he was ready to fight.
When Guo Gai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then burst into laughter. There was indeed a prince in Prince Wu's palace. Even the ordinary people in the city knew that the young prince had broken his brain since he was a child and was a brain disease patient.
Seeing that Zhu Muchen didn't look like a person suffering from a brain disease, he felt that the group of people in front of him must be foreigners who had just arrived, and they all had unfamiliar faces.
Guo Gai's father is the long history of this city. To put it bluntly, he belongs to the vassal king sent by the imperial court to monitor him. There are all officials in this city who do not give honor to his family. He has seen almost all the prominent people in the city. He concluded that the people in front of him
These strangers are just bluffing.
"Quickly ahead." A voice came from the distance. A man led a group of about thirty or forty government officials and quickly came towards Zhu Muchen.
"Aji, please go back to the house and report to the prince. The others will protect the master and evacuate. Don't worry about me." Aunt Su felt that these government servants were coming with bad intentions. She didn't bring anything to prove her identity. The young prince had not been there for more than ten years.
No one knew him even after leaving the palace.
"Want to run away? Chase, capture, capture." Guo Gai pointed at Zhu Muchen and others who wanted to leave.
"Aunt Su, Xiaoman, you go quickly." Zhu Muchen realized that he could no longer run away. The government servants chasing behind him were very fast. Aunt Su was older and couldn't run fast at all.
"Master, please leave quickly and leave us alone." Aunt Su also found that the two female relatives were dragging Zhu Muchen down.
"Aji and the accompanying guards have been controlled by those government officials. Go back and find someone to rescue me. Their target is me. Listen to me or we will all be caught." After Zhu Muchen said that, he turned to another one.
Run in the direction.
"Girl, let's go quickly." Aunt Su said, grabbing Xiao Man who wanted to follow Zhu Muchen.
At the critical moment, Aunt Su was still able to carry them. If they were really caught by the yamen and imprisoned, it might be too late by the time the palace noticed. It didn't matter if they died, nothing could happen to the young prince. She pulled Xiao Man and rushed to the palace desperately.
direction to run.
"Don't worry about those two women, catch that brat for me, catch him." The lid of the pot chased after him and shouted.
Zhu Muchen was captured by two government officials, and he really couldn't run away. Guogai and his team quickly caught up with him.
"Run... I asked you to run... but you ran anyway." The pot lid panted.
"Young hero, spare your life, I know I was wrong, please let me go." Zhu Muchen said sincerely. His life was at stake at this time, so he could only delay and wait for rescue. He knew that Aunt Su and the others had run away.
"Is it wrong to know now? It's too late, take him away." Guo Gai patted Zhu Muchen's face and said viciously.
