[Ming History + Legend of Lu Xiaofeng] Ninety-five Supreme

Qinghai Changyun dark snow-capped mountains, lonely city looking at Yumen Pass.Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken.

—— "March in the Army"

Local officials and wealthy businessmen who came to Beijing to work in the city usually travel with great ostentation, and there are many barnhouses for renting out sedan horses in the capital.A large sedan chair with an oil silk curtain, garishly inlaid with gold and embellished with jade, and uniformly dressed as a class servant, it is known that it was rented from the bar room.There are all kinds of transportation equipment, ranging from a small donkey with broken steps to a large sedan chair carried by eight people.

To the north of Dongtou of Zhimen Street in Dongdong, Beijing, there is a Yaowangmiao alley, and further east from there is the Wanwan Hutong where Wu Qingbo's mansion is located.It was half past half-hour in the morning, a group of people dressed lightly, and right now they were standing in front of Wu Qingbo's mansion. The young man at the head had a fair face and regular facial features.Qian Shengliang, the manager of Uncle Wuqing's mansion, looked at it from a distance, stepped forward quickly, clasped his fists and made a long bow, not daring to sing.whispered:

"But Duke Liang?"

"Please, Steward Qian, show us the way."

"Don't dare."

This young man called Liang Gong is none other than Liang Yong, the head servant of Qianqing Palace.As soon as he moved away, Qian Shengliang saw the young master behind Liang Yong, with one eye, handsome and handsome, outstanding.After leaving Beijing, more than two months passed in a flash. Zhu Yijun inspected the customs. Water transport made some big moves in Nanjing, using the power of the government to seek personal gain. Nanjing and Yangzhou have a profound influence. After staying in Nanjing for more than ten days, the day of the martial arts competition is not far away. After thinking about the current situation, I decided to return to Beijing.

He was one step ahead of the team, arrived two days earlier, and quietly entered the city without attracting attention, but he never interrupted his contact with Jinyiwei of Dongchang. on.Although Wu Qingbo is a famous dignitary, he doesn't have much contact with the courtiers, and he doesn't know many nobles. Li Gao was released by the Empress Dowager Cisheng last year to practice. The entire Wuqingbo mansion is full of slaves, which is still nothing to Wuqingbo of.

Wu Qingbo's mansion was originally the former residence of Yan Song, the chief assistant of the Jiajing Dynasty.After Yan Song was dismissed as prime minister and ransacked his house, the house was confiscated as public property, and no one lived there for a while.After Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he gave this house to his father-in-law.At that time, Yan Song had all the power in the world and tried his best to enjoy himself.He has two residences in the capital, one is this university mansion, and the other is Bieyejixianglu by the Paozi River.

Jixiang Lu was in Zhu Yijun's hands at that time, and was given to Zhang Juzheng by the Empress Dowager Cisheng, which was regarded as his private property. Now that Zhang Juzheng has passed away, Zhu Yijun has no plans to take it back.

Yan Song spent most of his later years in Jixianglu, which was actually the residence of his son.Green out of blue, his son's greed and despicableness are even worse than his father's. Later, a misfortune happened and he was ordered to be executed by Emperor Longqing.The Yan University Scholars Mansion was originally spacious and magnificent, but under his hands, he built a large number of buildings and repaired it, and finally became the most feared mansion in the capital, with more than 500 large and small houses.

Ever since Uncle Wu Qing became the owner of this mansion, he has always felt that the mansion is too big to live in. If it wasn't for the interference of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, he would have sold half of it to earn a fortune.

In the mansions of noble officials in the capital, the entrance is generally the sedan hall, the entrance is the screen wall, and the screen wall is the living room.The mansion where Uncle Wu Qing lived was not like this. As soon as he entered the sedan chair hall, the facing screen wall became the side wall of the living room. It was attached to the left wall and formed a long corridor. After walking about twenty feet away, his vision suddenly widened. , a garden about five or six acres in size unfolded in front of my eyes.The gate to the corridor is east-west, but this garden is north-south. Lotus flowers are in full bloom in several square ponds of different sizes, and pines and bamboos are in full bloom on the gentle slopes; The flowers at the bottom are bright, and the side is the fairy cave near the mountain, where the rich and noble families are separated by water smoke.The door of the living room with five couplets in the mansion is facing the garden. Sitting in it, you can hear the sounds of nature and see beauty.

When he came here, Zhu Yijun stopped and sighed softly: "Often listen to humanity, Yan Song's home taste is very high, and his reputation is really well-deserved."

Liang Yong looked at the scenery in front of him and said with a smile: "The emperor likes it, we are also building a yard on the East Street, and we have to come out to have a look on weekdays."

Zhu Yijun smiled when he heard the words, and walked slowly along the corridor. Liang Yong bowed his head, knowing in his heart that Zhu Yijun probably agreed.

At this time, Uncle Wu Qing Li Wei, who was wearing a light silk python suit, could not wait to rush over at the door of the living room. He heard Qian Shengliang whispering in his ear early in the morning, and the eunuch Liang from the palace came to visit. Uncle Wu Qing was taken aback, Didn't Liang Yong accompany the emperor's grandson on his southern tour.The little manager didn't know what was going on, so Uncle Wu Qing rushed over worried.

After a while, I saw a skinny old man in his sixties and wearing a light silk python robe rushing over.When he caught a glimpse of Zhu Yijun, he was immediately agitated and embarrassed. This was Wu Qingbo and Li Wei.According to national etiquette, he should kneel down to Zhu Yijun, and according to family etiquette, Zhu Yijun should kneel down to him. This is exactly where Li Wei is in a dilemma.

Zhu Yijun saw Wu Qingbo's embarrassment, walked up to him and held his hand up side by side, led him to sit in the front living room, and the servants retreated after talking about tea.Only then said: "This is not a palace, and there are no outsiders, so you don't have to be strict."

"Okay, okay, let's listen to the emperor's grandson." Li Wei replied hastily.

Li Wei spoke with a strong Shanxi accent, and he was born dry. No matter how you look at it, he is not a lucky person.If he took off the python clothes and put on ordinary attire, and walked on the street, he would look like a sorghum flower child, how could he be the first royal family member of the current holy dynasty.With regard to the history of his fortune, everyone in the capital is well-known, and the words are miraculous.When it reached his own ears, he just smiled and never defended himself.

"When did the emperor's grandson come back? Why did you come here specially to see each other today?" Uncle Wu Qing drank his tea in one breath, wiped his mouth, and sighed, "Is it your uncle who doesn't live up to expectations? Why is he crazy?"

Ever since Li Gao sealed up a thousand households in Jinyiwei, he took the imperial salary to be pampered and did not do anything. The fearful old man didn't have the guts to do so, Li Gao's air of a powerful and dandy seemed like he would do something stupid.The Empress Dowager Cisheng was very dissatisfied with this younger brother, and she repeatedly blamed him. Later, she was afraid that Uncle Wu Qing would be influenced by Li Gao, so she threw him out of the capital and went out on business.Even Wu Qingbo sometimes couldn't stand Li Gao's crazy talk, talking nonsense, and got into trouble with him all day long.

Zhu Yijun smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, nothing happened, just stop by and see how you are doing."

He looked down on Li Gao, and he usually had a bad face, but he was kind to Uncle Wu Qing. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with this old man except that he was greedy for money.

Wu Qingbo was happy, his face suddenly changed, he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the emperor's grandson is filial, much more filial than your mother and uncle."

"I don't know what's going on with your mother? Recently, as soon as we entered the palace, we said we were going to worship the Buddha, and we rushed into the palace to meet each other. To help us, we also kowtowed a few times in front of the Bodhisattva and burned incense. We were refused several times. Come out, your uncle is gone, and we talked to her to relieve our boredom, but we were blocked. She is the queen mother, and we don't want to be idle. Our grandpa and grandson said this, don't tell her."

Uncle Wu Qing sighed, his face was a little lonely, and he chatted with him, it seems that the Empress Dowager Cisheng has really neglected his father these days.According to the past, Uncle Wu Qing seized the opportunity and went to the Cining Palace to find the Empress Dowager Cining every three days, but no one dared to stop her. Hehe talking.

The light in Zhu Yijun's eyes flickered, and he paused for a moment before he frowned and said, "Maybe the queen mother is not feeling well these few days, and I don't want you to worry. Don't worry, I will come to the palace to have a look in a few days."

Wu Qingbo nodded. He said to Zhu Yijun that he wanted him to speak well in front of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, fearing that he would really do something and his daughter would leave him.

"How many days?" Wu Qingbo's attention was on his words, and it was only then that he realized that he slapped his thigh and said loudly: "By the way, didn't the British Lord tell us that you will come back in two days, we bought There are a lot of red lanterns, and the capital will be full of joy when the time comes, just waiting for the occasion to hang up that day. What's going on with you?"

Zhu Yijun didn't comment, but cleverly changed the subject and said: "Something happened in Beijing, let's go back and take a look."

"How can this be done!" As soon as Uncle Wu Qing said that, he immediately felt uncomfortable, and said, "Your mother will be angry, hurry up, hurry up, we will send you back to the palace right now, you are the emperor, what kind of words do you say if you don't spread it in the palace?" .”

Seeing his impatient appearance, Zhu Yijun raised his eyes and looked at him seriously, with an almost invisible trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes, he didn't answer.

Uncle Wu Qing couldn't talk to him, and he didn't look at his face at this time. He felt that his grandson was as annoying as his son and daughter, so he said to himself: "We know, this is called a private visit in a micro-service. It's done like this in dramas. You have serious business. I have to do it, we can't delay you. But you must live here."

On Wu Qingbo's thin and simple face, he spoke in a rare serious manner.

Zhu Yijun paused, Wu Qingbo didn't wait for him to answer, and said forcefully: "We are the number one emperor's relatives, the Guangfu mansion has five hundred rooms, and there are hundreds of guards. You live here, so that Grandpa can live in peace. .”

Uncle Wu Qing looked at Zhu Yijun nervously, still a little uncertain in his heart. After all, he had never gotten along with himself, the emperor's grandson, and he couldn't see each other for a month. , Why is the emperor so unkind, he dared not say a word.

After a long while, Zhu Yijun thought about it, and finally smiled: "Then listen to you."

Uncle Wu Qing laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, we'll clean it up for you now." Uncle Wu Qing was a working man who lived a noble life, never forgetting the old saying "Don't forget the poor when you are rich", and lived a very stingy life.I thought it was the grandson of the emperor who lived in the house, and was reluctant to use it in the past, and put all the luxurious things on display, at least not to let the grandson who is used to using big things feel how shabby we are.

When he came to the door, Uncle Wu Qing winked at Zhu Yijun, and with a grin his mouth was full of yellow teeth, he said familiarly: "We know, don't tell anyone, this is our grandfather and grandson's secret." Shrinking his body, he walked away tremblingly.

Seeing him walking away, Zhu Yijun smiled even more, and leaned forward again, wanting to get the teapot, Liang Yong hurriedly added tea, and praised softly: "Your Majesty is really clever."

Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows and refused to answer.

When he returned to Beijing, he planned to stay in Uncle Wu Qing's residence for a few days.For one thing, if it was discovered that they were living outside, it would inevitably appear that the court was too incompetent. However, Uncle Wuqing's mansion was simple in population, well-guarded, and beautiful in environment.Second, Uncle Wu Qing made friends easily, he was the head of the country for a long time, and he was not afraid of growing his ambitions due to his meritorious service.He didn't have to speak yet, Wu Qingbo would definitely force him to stay in the mansion to rest.

"My maidservant doesn't understand. The other courtyards have been tidied up, so how can I change to Mrs. Li's place?" Liang Yong was a little puzzled for a while. In the past, Zhu Yijun was difficult to resist Wu Qingbo, and he often avoided seeing him. When did he come again? I got acquainted.

Zhu Yijun smiled but did not answer, Shi Shiran got up, straightened his sleeves, his black pupils were calm and piercing, and told Liang Yong: "Go and tell Zhu Xixiao that he must keep an eye on the Ciqing Palace, and by the way, get along with the other Zhenjiang Jinyi guards." Take it easy, no matter what reason this prince finds to leave the mansion, don't bother, I won't give him this chance to enter the capital without an order."

Liang Yong naturally understood Zhu Yijun's meaning, and immediately agreed, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Where is Lu Wang Qiansui?"

"Well, send someone to Yu Shenxing's mansion to deliver a message for me..."

Zhu Yijun waved to him as he spoke, Liang Yong bent down knowingly and leaned over, Zhu Yijun whispered a few words behind his ear, after Liang Yong understood, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will send someone over immediately Send a letter to Master Yu and them."

Zhu Yijun smiled again, and his thin lips curled up slightly. Now that he has returned, and the doves occupy the magpie's nest, it is time for Li Daitao's stiff trick to end.
