Longquan Mansion, Shangjing.|dyzco|网|Shangjing is also called the City of Huhan. In the early days of the founding of the Bohai Sea, it was the Huhan Prefecture outside the pass. At that time, Emperor Ruizong granted Da Zuorong the title of Governor of the Huhan Prefecture, which is where it is located.
Since the first year of the Holy Calendar of the Holy Emperor Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, the Bohai State has been established for two hundred and three years. The long-term peace has made the capital city of the Bohai State extraordinarily prosperous. After more than ten generations of Bohai people's efforts to build, this city outside the pass
The largest city has been built very well and is huge. Not only does it cover a vast area, surpassing the four capitals of Zhongjing, Tokyo, Xijing and Nanjing combined, it also has a population of 300,000. It is the first city in the prosperous country of Haidong.
The construction of this city simulates Chang'an, with the outer city, the imperial city and the forbidden city, with Zhuque Street as the central axis, six horizontal and vertical avenues, and alleys in between, dividing the city into eighty-two lanes.
The one hundred and ten paces wide Zhuque Street starts from the south gate and connects to the outer city and the imperial city in the north. At the end of it is the forbidden city where Bohai County Prince Da Weiying lives. Outside Xuantian Gate, Taifu Wu Yindu is wearing a purple robe.
, wearing the imperial crown on his head, sat tremblingly on the ground, and once again shouted into the closed door: "Old minister, I am knocking on the door, I want to see the king!"
After a long time, one side of the Xuantian Gate opened, and a servant came out and said to Wu Yindu: "Master, please leave quickly. Our family has already told you that the king is not feeling well and will not see anyone."
After hearing this, Wu Yindu closed his eyes and ignored the attendant. The attendant had no choice but to turn around and go in. After a while, Wu Yindu shouted again: "Old minister, I want to see the king!" He just sat there at Xuantian Gate.
Outside, he shouted every moment. After about half an hour, the side of Xuantian Gate opened again, and the attendant came out. But this time, his face was full of anger, and he seemed to have suffered a lot. After coming out, he said in a sharp voice
: "The king gave the order, and the master stood up and answered!"
Wu Yindu was stunned for a moment. Finally he stood up, and the attendant said: "The king said: 'What happened to the teacher? Please tell me clearly. It's just that he is really unwell and he disappeared.'"
Wu Yindu thought for a while and said: "I would like to ask the king, does the king know that the Prime Minister Zhu Chengming deceives the king and ignores the king, and does whatever he wants to do with the state affairs? He excludes the wise and disrupts the dignity!"
The attendant nodded and entered Xuantian Gate again. Soon he came out and said: "The king said: 'The Prime Minister's administration is the system of the country. When it comes to military and state affairs, the Prime Minister can handle it. Teacher, if you have any knowledge about the government affairs of the court,
The advice I have given will be incorporated into the admonishment.'"
As soon as the document was drawn up, it was naturally handed to the Prime Minister Zhu Chengming. When Wu Yindu heard it, he knew that this was an excuse. dyzco.com Bohai King Da Weiying has been obsessed with singing and dancing to achieve peace, beauties and jewels since he ascended the throne.
Wuyindu never wanted to worry about state affairs. Wuyindu had been extremely disappointed with this king over the years. Now he heard the message from the chamberlain. He was even more sad and angry, and immediately shouted: "The king is stupid, addicted to wine and sex, do you want our ancestors' country to collapse like this?"
What!"
The servant was furious when he heard this, but the Taifu was one of the three masters. Although he had no real power, he had a respected position. Even if he directly criticized the king in person, the king could only hold his nose and admit it, so the servant did not dare to say anything and shook his head.
When we arrived at the palace, the door was no longer open this time.
Wuyindu sat down again angrily, and continued to shout over and over again: "Old minister, I want to see the king!"
The Prime Minister Zhu Chengming, who Taifu Wu Yindu said was "bullying the emperor and ignoring his superiors", was currently sitting in the palace of the king's younger brother, the minister of Honglu Temple, drinking tea.
The Purple Ribbon Doctor, known as the "First Talent", was a young eunuch of the Academy of Literature and Literature, and was given a goldfish bag to Pei Ting.
The person sitting at the head of the table was none other than Da Feng Yi. Da Feng Yi never wanted to say anything first. He just sipped his tea with a cold face and looked away, as if there was no one else in the hall.
Zhu Chengming smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that the other party would not speak first, so he finally spoke.
"Has Da Hong Lu thought it through? Zhu really doesn't know. This is a good thing. Why does Da Hong Lu object to it? By being the king and emperor, he can conquer the world and compete with the Tang Dynasty. From now on, he will no longer be controlled by him. , from now on we are part of the royal family!”
"The Da family has been greatly favored by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for two hundred years. It is absolutely impossible for us to stand up against the Tang Dynasty. The Prime Minister should not waste his efforts in vain. I am afraid that even the King cannot agree with this. !”
Zhu Chengming couldn't help but hesitate. It was precisely because King Da Weiying did not agree that he came to find the great descendant again, trying to persuade him. In his heart, he had another plan, as long as the great descendant agreed. Well, Zhu Chengming even planned to make him king and depose Da Weiying.
"As long as Da Honglu agrees, Zhu immediately removes the sergeants surrounding the house and resigns from the post of Prime Minister as an apology! Zhu thinks of Da's family wholeheartedly and devotes himself to Bohai. Heaven can express this!"
The great eunuch sneered and said: "The Prime Minister is really loyal? Then remove the sergeants and resign as Prime Minister. We will talk about this matter later."
"You!..." Zhu Chengming was furious, wishing he could eat this incompetent Wang brother alive, but he still endured it and turned to Pei Ting aside.
Pei Ting coughed slightly and said: "Da Honglu, the Prime Minister is naturally loyal. In order to commend his sincerity, the king has conferred the title of Founding Duke on the Prime Minister yesterday."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Chengming's face became bright. He looked at the great descendant and smiled without saying a word. But the great descendant was shocked. There are three levels of titles in Bohai Kingdom: Founding Duke, Founding Son and Founding Man, but apart from those in his early years, Except for the veterans who followed the founder of the country, Da Zuorong, who were granted titles, they have not awarded titles to anyone for a hundred years. Unexpectedly, the king actually awarded the title to Zhu Chengming, and the letter was from the highest founding father. Don't the king want to Think about it, in this way, the person in front of you is already a highly respected minister, and in the future there will be no reward or title, right?
Founding Duke, Founding Duke... The Grand Prince's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of the king's brother in the palace who had always been addicted to luxury enjoyment. Could it be... He looked at Pei Ting who was looking at ease again, but he saw Pei Ting coldly whispering to him. Blinked!
The Great Fengyi stretched his body, stood up and said, "The Prime Minister is waiting for a moment, so I'm going to change my clothes."
When Zhu Chengming saw that Da Fengyi's attitude seemed to have softened, he felt happy and said, "Da Hong, let's go. Zhu will wait here quietly."
There was silence in the hall. Zhu Chengming and Pei Ting looked at each other. Neither of them said a word, each thinking about their own thoughts. The maid stepped forward to remove the remaining tea from the two of them and replaced it with new tea. Zhu Chengming ignored it and Pei Ting took it. He picked up the tea cup and immediately felt something strange. He quietly put the paper roll stuck to the bottom of the tea cup into his sleeve, took a sip, and put the tea cup back on the table.
Not long after, the great descendant came back and sat on the main seat. This time, no matter how many questions Zhu Chengming asked, he stopped talking and just closed his eyes and meditated.
Zhu Chengming was so angry that he finally couldn't help but stand up and walk away. Pei Ting followed him out of the mansion of the great feudal lord.
Zhu Chengming looked back at the door of the mansion and coldly snorted: "You don't know the current affairs!"
Pei Ting comforted him with a few words. He was a famous poet who was not only famous for his talent, but also traveled extensively. He was well-informed and understood people's hearts. After a few words, Zhu Chengming's anger was calmed down. Zhu Chengming smiled and said : "Young Master Pei has given you a great help this time. Zhu appreciates his kindness. If things come true in the future, he will be rewarded with the position of Prime Minister!"
Pei Ting thanked him with a smile and complimented Zhu Chengming a few more times. Zhu Chengming suddenly remembered something and said: "A letter from Xijing said that an envoy from the Tang Dynasty was sent to ask how we should treat each other. It is also interesting to say that this Tang Dynasty The envoy's name is Gao Mingbo, and he is a concubine of Gao Yaoyi, the general of the right-leading army. He somehow obtained an official position in the Tang Dynasty and became an envoy. What do you think Pei Shaojian should do about this matter?"
Pei Ting asked: "Why did this Tang envoy come to Xijing?"
Zhu Chengming said: "According to what Gao Yaoren said, he was ordered to supervise the trade, and nothing happened. But the tricky thing is that Gao Yaoyi has been imprisoned at home, and this person is Gao Yaoyi's son, so he must know what we are planning. "
Pei Ting thought for a while and said: "If you know it, you know it. The king's proclaimed emperor will not be hidden from anyone in the future. Even if the Tang court knows about it, there is nothing they can do with the current general situation of the world. It is better to let Pei go." , in the name of his country, it would be nice to meet him, Pei also wants to find out some facts about the Central Plains."
Zhu Chengming stroked his palm and said, "It just fits my purpose!"
The two rode horses side by side, laughing and joking all the way. They were very pleased with themselves. Prime Minister Zhu Chengming attached great importance to Pei Shaojian who turned to him. He had passed the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty and was a registered Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty. After returning to Bohai After being reused, he was not only a highly prestigious literary leader in the Bohai Kingdom, but also a great poet in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, and he met all the great men of the moment. At the same time, because he often went to Japan and Silla as envoys, he was well known in both countries. He has very good friends with powerful people, and often sings poems and poems about them. Such an important minister represents the trend of civil servants. To put it bluntly, it is to rely on his Yu Nei's reputation. With his help, great things can be expected!
When they arrived outside the Xuantian Gate, the two of them immediately saw Wu Yindu, the Taifu who asked to be interviewed. Wu Yindu kept shouting, which made Zhu Chengming frown. At this moment, Wu Yindu also saw Zhu Chengming on the horse. Chengming and Pei Ting immediately stood up and scolded them in public: "Rebellious ministers and traitors who have tampered with the country's foundation must be punished by everyone!"
Zhu Chengming suppressed his anger and ordered: "Come here, Taifu is old and his mind is a little confused. Send Taifu back home quickly!" Behind him, the Shence Army swarmed up and carried Taifu Wu Yindu away. A group of officials were watching from a distance. They were so frightened that they scattered like birds and beasts, fearing to avoid him.
With such an unexpected incident, Zhu Chengming had no intention of chatting and laughing with Pei Ting. He simply explained a few words and then returned to his mansion.
After receiving Zhu Chengming's order to send him to Xijing, Pei Ting went back to his residence to pack his bags. At night, he quietly opened the scroll he got from the palace of the great feudal lord under the candlelight. He saw a line written on it: "Your Majesty the King accepts the order." I am trapped and can't leave the confinement. Now I am planning on Pei Ting, either asking for help from the Tang Dynasty, or gathering the troops at the border to clear the emperor's side." The scroll was stamped with the private seal of the great descendant of the king's brother.
