Fang Jun was riding on his horse, looking around, admiring the wonderful scenery, and asked casually: "Are there any other nobles in the palace staying here for a while?"
The chamberlain walked quickly beside him and replied after hearing the words: "Only King Jing lives in the Paiyun Palace. The autumn harvest is coming. Most of the nobles are organizing the autumn harvest in their respective fiefs. At this time, few people come to live in the palace. In summer,
There are a lot of hot springs in the palace, so we come here to escape the heat, and there are many in winter. After all, there are many hot springs in the palace. Taking a dip in the hot springs to dispel dampness and coldness is the most comfortable and healthy way."
At this point, he slapped his forehead and said: "Looking at my memory, I have forgotten Princess Fangling. His Highness Fangling moved to this palace a few days after getting married and has been living there for three months.
"
Fang Jun felt nervous and almost wanted to go home.
Faang Ling, a vixen, seems to have a special liking for seducing his niece-in-law. He probably gets a different pleasure from it. He always wants to bring disaster to him. He has seduced him openly and secretly more than once, which is really a headache.
very.
This Jiucheng Palace is a royal palace. Although the guards are strict, the rules are not as good as those in the palace. If Princess Fangling seizes the opportunity to flirt with me again...it will be difficult for me to have the patience to deal with her.
You might have to fall out on the spot.
After all, she is also the sister of His Majesty Li Er. If the dispute is too serious, it will inevitably spread. People outside may not necessarily believe that I am "pure and pure". In the face of such a beautiful beauty, I can still keep myself clean. All kinds of rumors are definitely on the street.
If you hear about it, it will make His Majesty Li Er dissatisfied.
However, there was no reason to be "invincible", so he asked the chamberlain: "How far is the residence arranged for my Highness from Princess Fangling's residence?"
The servant didn't know what was going on and said: "It's not close. There is a stream in the middle and three or five courtyards. There is still two or three miles. Princess Fang Ling lives near the Dabao Hall. Originally, Fang Shaobao should have been arranged with His Highness Gao Yang.
There, it has just been raining heavily in the past few days, and some of the palaces are leaking seriously. They are currently being repaired... If Fang Shaobao feels something is wrong, I will ask someone to speed up the repair process and move it to you later.
"
Dabao Hall and Lingxiao Hall are both the main halls of Jiucheng Palace. The more distinguished nobles come to the palace, the more they have to live close to the main hall. This is a symbol of status.
When the chamberlain heard Fang Jun ask about his residence, he was afraid that he would be displeased because he was placed far away from the main hall...
Fang Jun said quickly: "No need to bother, I will have to go back to the city in a few days to arrange the autumn harvest of my family's fields. I will only stay here for a few days."
The group of vehicles drove into the palace gate and drove slowly up the sloping mountain road to the mid-mountain. The dense forests on the left and right were filled with flowers and trees, and the pavilions and pavilions were decorated with carved beams and painted beams, showing the royal atmosphere.
After burning a stick of incense, we drove to a villa.
Under the arrangement of the chamberlain, the accompanying soldiers and maids arranged the daily necessities and other items brought by them.
Fang Jun and the leader of the chamberlain were sitting in the main hall and asked with a smile: "Have you asked the chamberlain about Gao's surname?"
The waiter was frightened: "How dare you ask the house guard? My humble surname is Wang. Wang Fulai is the director of Jiucheng Palace."
In the fifth year of Zhenguan (the fifth year of Zhenguan) after the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er issued an edict to change the Renshou Palace to the Jiucheng Palace, and appointed the director of the Jiucheng Palace to manage the palace. There was one supervisor, deputy supervisor, prime minister, chief bookkeeper, recorder and other officials.
Without waiting, he sent a general as a young craftsman to repair Jiucheng Palace, add forbidden gardens, arsenals, and official offices.
"The conduct is simple, cherishing the people's strength, emphasizing frugality, and is known for his diligence. After taking office, he removed the excesses and repaired the decay. He mixed the gravel with gravel, plastered the walls with mud between them, and connected the jade bricks to the earthen steps. Mao Ci continued in The "Qiong Chamber" is very magnificent and magnificent.
This Wang Fulai is the director of Jiucheng Palace.
Fang Jun said: "It turns out to be Director Wang, whom I have admired for a long time."
Wang Fulai quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Speaking of long-standing admiration, our family has long-standing admiration for Fang Shaobao! Our family often has small gatherings with Mr. Wang from Taiji Palace. I don’t know how many times I have heard Mr. Wang mention Mr. Fang. Bao, I say that you are magnanimous and have the character of a famous official. Not only are you talented and accomplished, but you also don’t have the slightest contempt for eunuchs like me, and you even regard them as close friends. The words of admiration are so great that our family has long wanted to meet you. Meet you and appreciate your unrivaled style, Fang Shaobao!"
The more inferior a person is, the more he wants to be recognized by others.
As disabled eunuchs, they have never been recognized by mainstream society throughout the ages. No matter how dedicated they are to serving the king, they are still greedy, cunning and cunning villains in the eyes of the world.
Meeting a famous official who doesn't interact with them normally based on their disability is simply rare. How can you not confide in them and treat them as a confidant?
"The director is familiar with Manager Wang?"
"We are more than familiar with each other. In the second year of Wude, our family and Mr. Wang entered the palace together and were assigned to the same old eunuch. We can be regarded as the same sect. At that time, we were both young and had no foothold in the palace. , I was bullied by those big eunuchs from time to time, so our friendship with each other became better."
Wang Fulai looked very sad when he talked about the past: "Fortunately, the two of us worked hard and were loyal to the late emperor, and our status became higher little by little. Later, he opened a palace for his majesty, King Qin, and the late emperor took charge of the king. They were sent to the Palace of Prince Qin, but our family still stayed in the palace. When the late emperor passed away, our family made a mistake and offended His Majesty. Your Majesty wanted to put our family to death. It was Manager Wang who knelt in front of His Majesty and begged, Your Majesty. That’s why I spared our family’s lives and sent them to live in this Jiucheng Palace to enjoy peace and happiness.”
Fang Jun nodded slowly. He didn't expect that there was such a "revolutionary friendship" between the two eunuchs...
At this time, the maid came to report that Princess Gaoyang and Xiao Shu'er had settled down. Wang Fulai stood up to leave and saluted: "I will leave for now. If you or His Highness have anything wrong, please tell me to do it." You will be accommodated properly.”
Fang Jun returned the gift and said, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't keep Director Wang here. I'll have some free time tomorrow and I'll go meet you for a few drinks."
Wang Fulai was immediately happy and said repeatedly: "That slave is so high! Speaking of which, a few days ago, one of the walls on the mountain was washed away by rain, and a lot of wild animals came into the palace. The slave ordered people to go around the palace. I cleaned it inside and out, picked up a few muntjac and smoked it using a secret method. It is the ultimate delicious food!"
"Haha! That's just right. I want these delicacies and game. I also brought a lot of wine this time, so we can get drunk together."
"The Fang family's fine wine is one of the rarest treasures in the world, and this slave has taken advantage of it!"
…
After seeing Wang Fulai off, Fang Jun stood in front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back for a while, thinking about Wang Fulai's words of "cleaning up every place in the palace", then turned and walked back to the back hall.
*****
Jin Palace.
After Li Chengqian read out His Majesty Li Er's edict, he handed the imperial edict to Li Zhi and said with a warm smile: "It is hard on you to confine the child slave in the mansion during this period. Fortunately, the emperor still loves you after all. , the ban was finally lifted.”
Li Zhi handed the imperial edict to Princess Jin's wife, Wang, and then dismissed everyone. Then he asked Li Chengqian to sit on a chair, and he also sat with him. He said with emotion: "Although I am imprisoned in the house, I am not
Although my eyes and ears are blocked, I still know more or less the news in the palace. If my brother hadn't begged my father this time, even if my father and I still care about the love between father and son, I don't know what year or month it will take for this confinement order to be revoked.
My elder brother is generous and kind, and my younger brother is indescribably grateful."
These words were not just words, he was truly grateful to the prince.
Everyone speculates that once he is released from confinement, he will be arranged by his father to join the central government office, and it is very likely that he will start the action of "fighting for the heir apparent". How could the prince, who has eyes and ears all over the court, not know?
But even so, the prince was able to go to his father in person to beg for forgiveness for his imprisonment, even though he knew that there would be many powerful enemies on the road to becoming a prince. This generous mind made Li Zhi admire him endlessly, and he used himself to save others.
, he thought he would never be able to do this.
However, despite being grateful, I also felt that the prince was pedantic.
Brotherhood is important, but the ownership of the crown prince is a major event that can affect the country and the country. You can only attack your opponents with all your strength, how can you use emotions and let the tiger return to the mountain?
He admitted that the prince was definitely a good brother and could be generous and loving to all his brothers. This was the best quality of an brother, and it was difficult to find a few in the world.
But he absolutely does not think that such an emotional prince can be a good emperor. He has too many worries and deep ties, and it is inevitable that he will be restrained when doing things. What is the benefit to the country?
He became more and more determined to fight for reserves.
At worst, I will ascend the throne as emperor in the future, so I just need to be kind to the prince...
