Zhongshan Palace is known as the largest mansion in Nanjing and occupies half of Nancheng. Zhongshan Palace is in the center of Nancheng, with Gongyuan in the southeast. Further east across the Qinhuai River is the largest east garden of Zhongshan Palace.
Mochou Lake not far away is also a private garden of the Prince of Zhongshan. This is a forbidden area. No outsiders are allowed to approach within five miles of the nearby area. Those who violate the prohibition will be sent to the officials for investigation. It is said that this lake and the one not far from the lake are
The Shengqi Tower was when the current emperor played chess with Xu Da. Xu Da unknowingly arranged the chess pieces in his hand to form the word "Long Live", and he also defeated Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed after losing. He was so happy that he
This building and the lake were given to the Xu family.
In fact, this is all folklore. How could an emperor do such an unreliable thing, randomly awarding kingdoms and mountains for a game of chess? It is true that Shengqi Tower and Mochou Lake are the properties of the Xu family, but the reason is because
Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, was the first founding father of the Ming Dynasty and the only famous official whom Emperor Zhu trusted. He did not replace Zhu Yuanzhang when Guo Zixing gave up; nor did he abandon Zhu Yuanzhang when Chen Youliang besieged him; his own opinions and Zhu Yuanzhang's decisions
When there is no uniformity, we can only implement it resolutely.
Moreover, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he was one of the few ministers who did not act domineering, embezzled and demanded bribes, refused to let go of power, and formed cliques for personal gain. Therefore, he became one of the few among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty who died a good death, and who was granted the title of king.
There is a fiefdom, and the fiefdom of the King of Zhongshan is near Mochou Lake. At this moment, a group of people are coming from the Mochou Lake owned by the Xu family to the palace of the King of Zhongshan.
The Prince's Mansion in Zhongshan has both grand towers and mansions, as well as pavilions and trees. It is majestic and magnificent, with beautiful ancient features. They are intertwined with each other and blend into the mountains and rivers. There are more than thirty people in the group who came here, except for the two in the middle.
The young master in white robes and the rest of them are all wearing green riding uniforms and carrying swords on their sides. At first glance, they are capable and brave guards.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a man who paid great attention to etiquette and order. Under his governance, no one dared to overstep the boundaries in terms of architecture, clothing, and ceremonial guards.
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, there were many people who dared to overstep his bounds. His nephew did so, became domineering and arrogant, and treated him with the same courtesy as a prince. Although this nephew had always been liked by Zhu Yuanzhang, he was still given to death by him in the end.
He also made the nephew's son king; the general Lan Yu overstepped his bounds and even slept with his princess after running away Tuogu Si Tiemur, ruining Zhu Yuanzhang's gentle policy of fettering the Mongolian nobles; after winning the victory, he returned to the dynasty and was dissatisfied with the city.
The guard was a little slow to open the door, and actually ordered the cannon to blast open the city gate. All these things buried the murderous intention in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Now in Yingtian Mansion, no one dares to overstep the etiquette. There are only two masters in this group. Even if one person is half guard, there can be so many people guarding him. The person who displays such a guard of honor must be a prince of the first rank.
Minister. But these two people are only around thirty years old. One has thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, and the other is slightly more delicate, but also very handsome.
Passers-by saw him and hurried to the side of the road. Someone said: "Little Master Xu is back, hey! Who is the one chatting and laughing with the young Master?"
Another person said: "To be able to walk side by side with the young prince, talk and laugh happily, he must be a prince and prince."
Peng Ziqi had just arrived here. She had a very good ear and was about to rush towards Duke Xu's mansion. When she heard these words, she suddenly reined in the reins, looked back, and immediately turned her horse's head and rushed towards the slowly approaching people.
.
"Who dares to collide with Xu Mansion's honor guard? Stop!"
The guards in the front were all well-trained warriors. When they saw someone charging towards them on horseback, they immediately drew their swords and rushed towards them. The guards behind quickly protected the two young masters in the middle. If they had not seen that there was only one man and one horse rushing towards them, they would have immediately
She was wearing a white robe as white as snow and her belt was fluttering. She was an extremely beautiful woman who had already wielded a knife to kill someone. The two young men did not panic, they just reined in their mounts and looked at them curiously, occasionally whispering to each other.
sentence, with a slight smile on his face, as if he was commenting on the figure and appearance of this beautiful woman.
Peng Ziqi suddenly reined in the horse, and the horse stood upright. Xi Yuyu let out a long neigh. Before his front hooves touched the ground, Peng Ziqi floated off the horse. The eyes of the heroic young man brightened and he praised: "What a handsome kung fu!"
"
The more handsome young man next to him also smiled and said: "It's really good kung fu!"
Peng Ziqi floated forward and took three steps forward. He did not look at the guard's steel knife that was pointed at his neck in a threatening manner. He only raised his palms high and said loudly: "The common people here have a token of Princess Xu. Please see Young Master Xu!"
"
She didn't know which of the two young masters in front of her was from the Xu family, and they were from the Xu family, so she only called them Young Master Xu. The man with a heroic face was slightly surprised when he heard this, leaned forward and said: "Cheng
Come up!"
Immediately, a guard got off his horse, took the sachet from Peng Ziqi's hand, walked quickly to him, offered it with both hands, the man took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and asked in a deep voice: "Where did you meet my little sister?
?”
Peng Ziqi cupped his fists and said, "The common people met Princess Xu in Beiping Mansion."
The young man made a sound, his face softened a little, and he turned to the other young man and said, "Jiujiang, I have guests at home. I'll have a banquet with you another day."
It turned out that the young master next to him was the grandson of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the eldest son of Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Li Jinglong, nicknamed Jiujiang. Li Wenzhong was a famous general in the early Ming Dynasty, with deep and grand weapons that no one could fathom. He was fierce and fierce when facing the battle, and he showed even more ambition when facing a powerful enemy.
He is well versed in the meaning of the classics, and the poems he writes are powerful and impressive. In terms of handsomeness, he is slightly inferior to Xu Da, Hu Dahai, Chang Yuchun and others, but in terms of bravery and good fighting skills, he can be called the leader of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals.
Now he has died of illness for more than ten years. His eldest son, Li Jinglong, inherited the title as Cao Guogong. The son of the Xu family who accompanied him was Xu Zengshou, the third eldest son of the Xu family. Because the title was inherited by his eldest brother, he has not yet been knighted.
He was just appointed as the Left Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. He was a first-class official, and he was no less favored than Li Jinglong's Duke.
Li Jinglong nodded, looked at the beauty in front of him who was as pretty as a pear blossom, winked at Xu Zengshou, and said with a low smile: "A very beautiful little lady."
Xu Zengshou snorted and said, "That's my little sister's friend. What are you talking about? Come on, come on!"
Li Jinglong laughed and said: "Let's go, let's go now, I won't disturb your good things, so let's go."
After saying that, he whipped his horse and whipped his horse, Shi Shiran turned to another road, and more than a dozen guards immediately followed him.
Xu Zengshou then turned to Peng Ziqi and said, "Girl, please get on your horse and follow me back to my house."
Peng Ziqi said anxiously: "It's too late. If it's too late, I'm afraid my husband will have already been punished."
Xu Zengshou was slightly startled: "Your husband? What did he do and where was he punished?"
Mr. Yin Wang of Yingtian Mansion's punishment of Xia Xun can be said to be severe, quick and strict, which fully reflects his strict law enforcement and vigorous and resolute style of doing things. He is also impartial, fair and honest.
Those Yang clan members invaded and occupied Yang Xu's ancestral house. Although they had the reason that it had long been ruined and dilapidated and could no longer be used, and they were from the same clan, they only borrowed it when there was no news about the family, and they did not invade and refuse to return it. However, it was ultimately unkind.
, should be punished. Now that all the livestock they raised in Yang Xu's courtyard have been slaughtered and eaten, they can be considered punished, so they will no longer be punished.
Seeing that his home was in ruins, Xia Xun slaughtered all the livestock of his relatives and friends regardless of the reason, and violently injured many relatives. Considering that he was out of filial piety, it can be forgiven, but he ignored the national law and killed cattle indiscriminately.
It's Jiutou. This crime is absolutely unforgivable. According to the imperial decree, anyone who slaughters other people's horses or cattle for any reason will be punished with a seventy-year-old rod for one and a half years. Xia Xun was killed for some reason. The circumstances are excusable and the crime is unforgivable.
The punishment for repeated crimes is a hundred rods and three thousand miles of exile, which will reduce his fame!
Without explanation, when the verdict was announced, Wangfu Yin immediately ordered Xia Xun to be dragged down to prepare for torture. At the same time, he ordered the clerk to prepare a written document and submit it to the Qingzhou Prefecture School of Government, in order to reduce his academic status and reputation. As soon as Xia Xun was dragged down, there was a squad leader.
Wang Hongrui ran up to the court and whispered a few words to him. Wang Hongrui was startled and hurriedly asked a few more questions. After confirming, he immediately glanced at the master and shouted: "I still have important matters to be handled. The case will be adjourned for another trial. I will withdraw from the court."
!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away. The sentence had obviously been pronounced, so what else should be postponed? Yang Yu was startled. Before he could get a taste of it, the understanding master had already called a step forward.
He ran down the hall to intercept the person who was about to be tortured. Xia Xun, who had just had his pants taken off and his butt exposed, was dragged up again and sent back to the prison room.
Everyone in the Yang family is a little confused. Mr. Yang will not come forward in such a scene, so as not to give people an image of an elder who is not kind and kind enough. Yang Chong will not come forward either. He values his status as an imperial student very much.
, it was Yang Yu who took the lead in litigating the lawsuit. After the Yang family members were kicked out of the lobby, they gathered in front of him and asked in all directions: "What's going on? Haven't they all been sentenced?"
Yang Yu was also puzzled by Zhanger Jingang and said hesitantly: "Maybe there will be something else that needs to be pronounced later, and Lord Fuyin does have important matters. You also know that Yingtian Fuyin is not the chief official of a small county in a small state. Every day
The affairs are very complicated.”
Another person said: "Then what should we do? How about... go back and wait for the letter? Or ask the old man to inquire again..."
In the reception area of the second hall, Xu Zengshou was walking around the living room boredly, shaking his red coral-handled riding crop. As soon as Wang Hongrui entered the room, he bowed to the ground: "Oh, my dear, my dear."
Sir, I am busy with official duties and have missed my welcome. Please forgive me for my sin."
Xu Zengshou is now the governor of the left, a first-rank official in the capital, and Ying Tianfu Yin is a fourth-rank official in the capital. Wang Hongrui's junior officer is really a genuine junior official. However, Xu Zengshou did not ascend the title, but he called him the young prince. This
The title is very knowledgeable and seems more approachable and respectful.
"Young Master, please have a seat. I'll have some tea, please."
Wang Hongrui let Xu Zengshou to the table, bent down, smiled with him, pushed the poured tea in front of him, and said cautiously: "The young master just said... go to the lower government office to find someone... named Yang
Xu’s people?”
He secretly glanced at Xu Zengshou's face, and then said: "I would like to take the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between this person and the young master?"
