Chapter 1811 Who Blinks First (Thanks to the Leader of "Chaos~" For the Reward)
The city of Nanchang in midsummer is so hot that people don't want to go out, but there are always some people who have to face the scorching sun to make a living outside.
Prince Ning's Mansion is located in Nanchang City, where King Ning Zhu Quan's family lived, as well as various servants and maids who served his family.
There are a lot of supplies here every day, and every day, people drive ox carts or carry burdens to deliver goods.
"Send things in, don't look around, or you will dig your eyes out!"
The steward in charge of purchasing in the palace yelled at the back door, and then those people drove the ox cart in. When the two sides were in the opposite position, the delivery man stretched out his right hand and made a fist with the palm down, and then the steward opened his hand, watching coldly that the treasured bills that had been squeezed into a ball fell into his hand.
"Why are you hiding it? We just earn hard money, so who dares to talk too much?"
The steward took a look at the banknotes with disdain, then frowned and said, "Next month's money will be 10% more."
"Guan Zhao, there is no way to make more money! If you add more, you will lose money!"
"That's right! Manager Zhao, at least let us make a living and raise a family..."
Those who delivered the goods immediately started complaining, according to their logic, I gave you a favor, you have to take care of me. Increase price? Be careful we will burn together.
Manager Zhao sneered and said, "We don't take your money for nothing. Starting next month, the mansion wants 20% more things. Anyone who doesn't want to do it, come out and talk."
The eyes of several delivery people lit up, and they immediately flattered one after another, and the back door was very lively.
The Prince's Mansion was originally the seat of the Chief Secretary's Yamen in Nanchang. Zhu Quan was transferred from Daning to Nanchang by Zhu Di. There was not even a Prince's Mansion, but the original Yamen in Nanchang was used for minor repairs.
The only thing that looks like in the palace is the abode, which is dotted with flowers, plants and trees, which looks quite delicate.
Enter through the Duanli Gate and walk all the way, and soon you will see a few bamboos, and a small palace is just around the corner.
It is said that it is a palace, but it is only a decoration on the outside, and there is still no regulation of a palace inside.
"Your Highness, Xinghe Bo is about to arrive in Nanchang."
Yupan's crisp voice sounded, and the suing man bowed to leave.
The house is not too big,
There is a large bookshelf in the back, which is full of books.
There is a small table and a futon in the middle of the room, and a middle-aged man is sitting on the futon. He put down the jade hammer in his hand, opened his eyes and panted...
The man's eyes are slender, his cheeks are thin, and he is dressed in a Taoist robe. He looks like a fairy, with an extraordinary temperament.
There was a stack of papers on the small table, the man tidied it up casually and said, "He came so fast!"
"Your Highness, the emperor is in a hurry."
The man was Ning Wang Zhu Quan. He nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor is too young, and his confidants are also young. What do these two young people want to do? Do you want to take this king?"
The man who spoke earlier was sitting on the right side, and there was a qin in front of him. He stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness, Fang Xing only brought a thousand households, and a hundred households. , this doesn’t look like they’re here to take people.”
Zhu Quan closed his eyes, exhaled deeply from his mouth, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and said, "Does that Zhu Zi think that this king is that idiot Zhu Jixuan?"
"Jiang Xun, go ask and see if there is anything unusual about his journey."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The man stood up, tidied his Taoist robes, and left the monastery Shi Shiran.
Not long after, the man came back. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, Fang Xing didn't stop all the way."
Zhu Quan nodded, touched the jade pan hanging on the wooden shelf by his side, and said, "The lineage of King Jin is hanging there now, Zhu Jixi is completely abolished, and we can only look at Zhu Meigui's. But the emperor's intentions are somewhat different." It's puzzling, there are not many descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao!"
Jiang Xun understood and said: "Who says it's not! One less is unfilial! Now the emperor's intention is to cut down the Jin Fan."
Zhu Quan put his hands on the small table and stood up at once.
"The king wrote the memorial to allow the continuation of the Jin Dynasty, but... now it seems that the emperor's intentions are a bit ambiguous, that's all, let's talk about it after seeing Fang Xing!"
...
Nanchang is actually an inland city through and through, and there is no need to consider foreign enemies at all, so the military security here has become more and more loose after the founding of the country.
The weather was hot, and the sergeants guarding the gate were also lazy. They all hid in the city gate and took a nap.
"My lord, the sound of hooves!"
The little flag officer leaned on the side to take a nap, was startled for a moment, then drew his knife and rushed over in a daze, asking, "Where? Where?"
"grown ups……"
More than ten riders had already appeared in sight, the little flag officer was startled, and hurriedly ordered: "Call people to be on guard."
No matter what the identity of the visitor is, it's easy to fool him by pretending.
As for the enemy, where are the enemies in the south these days?
The little flag officer kicked and kicked the lazy subordinates, then led them out to welcome them.
More than ten riders were busy in the wind and dust, and when they approached the gate of the city, they reined in their horses and said: "Uncle Xinghe is ordered to lead the army, and he will be there soon, so that Nanchang Mansion can prepare food and lodging!"
The little flag officer was taken aback for a moment, then shook his still dizzy head and said, "My lord, who is it?"
"Xing He Bo!"
...
Not long after, the sound of horseshoes rumbled, and a large group of cavalry appeared immediately.
The chief envoy, who had already received the news, just sent a Zuo Canzheng to meet him, because Zhu Zhanji's will had already been spread here.
Let's not get involved in the matters of the vassal king or the emperor's housework!
When Fang Xing got off his horse with a sullen face, the left counselor came up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Xing Hebo has worked hard all the way, my subordinate Yue Gu, our Lord Wang has an urgent matter and can't come here, so I entrusted my subordinate to plead guilty to Xing Hebo."
It is said to be an apology, but civil and military affairs have nothing to do with it. The chief envoy is a giant, so how could he come to plead for Fang Xing. Moreover, the decree is for King Ning, there is nothing to do with the chief envoy, if he takes the initiative to come forward, Fang Xing will have to wonder if this person has some schemes.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "There's no need to do that, but is the board and lodging ready for my department?"
Yue Gu said: "It's all ready, I'm not afraid of Xing He Bo's jokes, we have already got the news here, our Lord Wang has prepared board and lodging early, and is waiting for you to lead the army."
In an instant, Fang Xing had a better impression of Jiangxi Zuo Buzheng Wang Yue.
--stable!
All the way into the city, Fang Xing ordered Wu Yue to take people to the campsite, while the people he brought with black thorns went to the palace.
Fairy style!
When Fang Xing saw Zhu Quan for the first time, he couldn't help but feel that he was much more handsome than Zhu Di.
The decree is very simple, that is to say, the emperor sent Fang Wake to condolences and visit King Ning.
hehe!
Does it take such a big presence to visit?
Heart of Sima Zhao!
Zhu Quan received the order, and then asked: "This king just submitted the memorial and wanted to change the fiefdom, but His Majesty asked you to come, but did you agree?"
Zhu Quan didn't want to stay in Nanchang. Since Zhu Di's time, he wanted to go to rich places, such as Suzhou Qiantang.
But from Zhu Di to Zhu Gaochi, his request has never been met.
Fang Xing said indifferently: "Your Highness, when Fang came out, His Majesty did not explain anything."
He would not bow down in front of the vassal king, even if Zhu Quan squinted at him, it would be useless.
Jiang Xun said in a deep voice: "Uncle Xinghe, this is Nanchang!"
These words are to remind Fang Xing that this is Zhu Quan's fief Nanchang, and he needs to maintain respect.
Fang Xing smiled and said, "It's Nanchang, the Nanchang of Ming Dynasty!"
He was just smiling, but he was looking at Zhu Quan.
damn it! What kind of kung fu did this guy practice?
Fang Xing found that Zhu Quan's eyes were like a clear spring, but they were sharp. And this person can actually last for so long without blinking.
