The mist on the empty mountain, the chirping of birds, and the yellowing leaves stretching quietly in the morning light are like a beautiful picture that is not stained by the fireworks of the world.
Fang Jun was wearing a green t-shirt and took a walk in the garden for a while. He moved his hands and feet and breathed in the cool air. He just felt peaceful and beautiful. He seemed to like to stay quietly like this all his life.
It's just that the current tense situation makes him a little helpless. In order to prevent the Guanlong nobles from taking risks, as soon as he walks out of the room, there will be several soldiers following him to protect his safety. This makes him even have to stop his habit of running in the early morning.
People in the secular world are quite helpless when they follow the crowd.
After walking in the garden for a while, when they returned to the main palace, Princess Gaoyang and Xiao Shuer had already finished dressing up, had breakfast quietly, and then walked around the Jiucheng Palace with their wives and concubines.
Or because I was worried about someone secretly assassinating me, I just walked around casually near my residence and then returned to my residence.
The entire Jiucheng Palace is built on the mountain, hidden in the mountains and forests, isolated from the world of mortals and away from the hustle and bustle. No matter how impetuous the mood is, it can calm down, even if you just sit on a chair in front of the window and look at the dyed forests and the palaces and pavilions.
, listening to the breeze blowing in the ears and rustling the leaves, there is also a kind of peace and joy that can't be broken in the world of mortals.
It was not until noon that Fang Jun said goodbye to his wife and concubines, and led a team of guards on the bluestone-paved mountain road to the Dabao Hall to pay a visit to Wang Fulai, the director of Jiucheng Palace.
Dabao Hall is the main hall of Jiucheng Palace. It has majestic cornices and horns. It forms a huge palace complex with nearby palaces. The magnificent palaces and pavilions are lined up in rows. Although it is not as solemn and majestic as Taiji Palace, it is more luxurious.
No wonder it became the first royal palace in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
According to historical records, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was always a thrifty and simple emperor. It is difficult to imagine why he built such a luxurious palace here. This seems to be very contrary to what he has always done, and it is puzzling.
However, history is always hidden behind the dust, and future generations will probably never know the truth...
Arriving in front of the Dabao Hall, the free chamberlain hurriedly notified Wang Fulai, who trotted out from the side hall to welcome him, with a smile on his face, and carefully led Fang Jun into the side hall.
Nowadays, there are many forces competing in the court, but no matter how you look at it, Fang Jun is the one with the most potential. Not to mention His Majesty's current favor and trust in him, the close relationship with the Prince alone is enough to ensure that
He will stand tall in the court for decades without falling.
Don't talk about Yi Chu. At least the prince is still the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He believes that his generous and kind character has been supported by countless ministers. Even if His Majesty Li Er has the heart of Yi Chu, can he ignore the people of the world and Qian Gang?
To depose them arbitrarily?
Then the world would be in chaos.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, although the prince's status will be challenged, the future is bright...
Wang Fulai naturally cannot live in the Dabao Hall. This is a side hall, located under the steps on the east side of the Dabao Hall. It is surrounded by gardens in the front and back. The terrain is not high, and the decoration is not gorgeous, but the scenery is beautiful and the environment is elegant. Compared with
Many of the luxury houses in Chang'an City are of a higher grade.
Wang Fulai invited Fang Jun to the main hall. Food and wine had already been placed on a table. He sat next to Fang Jun and said with a smile, "I'm a shabby servant. I prepared a few food and wine, but it made Fang Shaobao laugh."
Who in the world doesn’t know that Fang Jun is as rich as a country? Most people treat him to dinner and drinks, which is really stressful. He has to have a headache for a long time just to prepare the dishes and drinks. He laughs at the trivial matter. In case he mistakenly thinks that he is not thoughtful, the reception
If you are not careful, it will backfire and you will offend others.
Fang Jun rolled up his sleeves and said casually: "As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too little to meet a close friend. The most important thing about drinking is what kind of person you drink with and what kind of words you say. As for the food you eat and the wine you drink, it has nothing to do with it.
It’s important. Given our status, how many delicacies in this world have we never tasted? As long as the atmosphere is right, even if it’s a street restaurant, it’ll be delicious.”
Wang Fulai's face turned red with excitement, and he said to himself, "Look at the second house, this is a real famous official!"
Those princes and grandsons usually talk about pomp and luxury, but they don’t know that the real nobles show their true interest in the ordinary. What they pay attention to is a realm, an atmosphere, and a blind pursuit.
The fine wines and delicacies were inferior.
Wang Fulai drove out several young eunuchs, leaving only two of them. He personally filled the pot with wine, pointed to a roasted muntjac leg on the table that was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
It is made of wood and built in the mountains and forests, so it is most afraid of catching fire. So early in the morning, the servant ordered someone to take the muntjac leg to the bank of Dushui outside the palace gate at the foot of the mountain and bake it using the secret method of the palace kitchen.
, I sent it back as soon as it was baked, and Fang Shaobao arrived just in time, you are a lucky person!"
Fang Jun is the best game player, so he was not polite at the moment. He picked up the small silver knife placed on the table and cut a piece of muntjac meat. He dipped it in a little snow-white salt and chewed it for a few times. He felt that the meat was tender and full of flavor.
, there was grease seeping out and staying in the mouth between chewing, and the aroma became more and more fragrant. He raised the glass to indicate, and drank it all in one gulp.
The aroma of wine and meat mixed in his mouth, making Fang Jun swallow it carefully and praised: "It's really delicious!"
Wang Fulai was very happy when he saw that Fang Jun had no pretensions, and had the character of a famous Wei and Jin Dynasty scholar with broad robes and broad robes but a laissez-faire character. He also raised his glass to drink with him.
One of them has evil intentions, and the other is trying to be friendly and flattering. Naturally, the atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious.
After drinking a few drinks, Fang Jun asked casually: "Director Wang is in his prime, but he succumbs to the 90% palace. Isn't it a bit humiliating? We should talk to Director Wang De more and let him find an opportunity to bring you to the palace."
The only thing is to be transferred to the palace, or at least to a prince's palace."
Eunuchs have no heirs, so they attach great importance to the control of power. No matter how well built the Jiucheng Palace is, it is just out of the palace. If it is not with the emperor, how can it have any power? If there is no power at this time, it is impossible to cultivate a few close young eunuchs to take over.
My class will become old and frail in the future, and I am afraid that there will not even be anyone around to serve him wholeheartedly.
That's what it's like to have a miserable evening...
Wang Fulai didn't look depressed and lonely. Instead, he smiled, glanced at the door, then turned back and whispered: "Fang Shaobao doesn't know something. Don't look at me, this director seems to be just a piece of junk, but I'm afraid
Times will turn around in the future.”
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Fang Jun became curious and asked.
Wang Fulai intended to make friends with Fang Jun, but he also knew that some things could not be told completely, so he said vaguely: "To outsiders, it seems that Jiucheng Palace is just a divorced palace. Your Majesty and the nobles came to stay for a few days when they had nothing to do.
But now, there is an important place in this palace that no one except your majesty is close to can know about."
Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat and asked: "What is so important that it is actually hidden in this Jiucheng Palace?"
But Wang Fulai laughed, looked at him and refused to talk any more.
Fang Jun knew that this must be an extremely secret matter, and it was most likely the reason why His Majesty rushed to Jiucheng Palace in a hurry yesterday, but then left in a hurry...
However, he also knew that Wang Fulai would not say more about such a secret that even Wang De did not dare to say openly even when he secretly sent a message to him.
They can only be beaten to death with random sticks, and they can't even be caught with poisonous wine...
However, Fang Jun is not in a hurry. Although Wang Fulai is cautious, he is obviously not a determined person. Since he can reveal his secrets, he will surely be able to reveal his true appearance after slowly testing.
He was very patient, so he didn't mention the matter and started chatting all over the world.
Naturally, he was very eloquent and knowledgeable, but unexpectedly, Wang Fulai was not a fool. He had read several books, and his knowledge and understanding were far beyond ordinary people. The two of them ate food and drank wine, and the more they talked, the more they agreed.
At this moment, a young eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside and saluted: "Director, His Royal Highness King Jing is here. He has already arrived at the door."
Wang Fulai was stunned, what was he doing?
Although he was in Jiucheng Palace, he never missed news from Chang'an City. Naturally, he knew that Fang Jun and King Jing didn't like each other. They were on the same table, and if they disagreed, why not start a fight?
He quickly stood up and said to Fang Jun: "Fang Shaobao will wait for the servants to go and have a look later. I will be back later."
He thought about sending King Jing away, but as soon as he finished speaking, someone walked in slowly from the door and said in a strange voice: "What's the matter? Your Director Wang's wine is so rare. The prince Shaobao can drink it, but I, the prince, can't drink it."
