Xiaolvyuan
Jia Heng and the eldest princess of Jinyang were in the Qing'an thatched cottage, looking at the calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasty's calligraphers and painters, chatting for a while, and then went to an attic built by the lake and surrounded by willows. On the black tung lacquer plaque was inscribed "
"Lanyue Pavilion" are three golden characters.
The attic is five stories high, with cornices and brackets. At this moment, Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang climbed up the steps and climbed to the fifth floor.
Looking out from the railing, through the lush willow trees, overlooking the entire garden, you can have a panoramic view of the whole garden.
Speaking of which, Ningguo Mansion also has a pavilion like this, called Dengxian Pavilion.
"Dudu Jia, don't you want to buy a garden? This garden has just been built, it is majestic and beautiful, and it has unique craftsmanship. How about selling it to you?" Princess Jinyang turned her watery eyes back from the rippling blue lake in the distance.
, turned to look at Jia Heng, and said with a chuckle.
Jia Heng frowned and reminded: "Your Highness, this garden is owned by the prince. If I live in it, I would be overstepping the bounds."
Although the regulations on residences and gardens have been regulated by the Han court for a hundred years since the founding of the country, it has gradually become a written document, just like Lao Zhu's rule that merchants cannot wear silk.
When building gardens, merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou often acted arrogantly, but in a political center like Shenjing, as an official in the court, you had to be cautious in your words and deeds.
Otherwise, it will become evidence of the impeachment of the official. Of course, Emperor Chongping will not pursue it initially, but in the future, it will be difficult to say when the birds are gone and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked.
The phoenix eyes of the eldest princess of Jinyang flashed, and she thought to herself, it seems that he still remembers her previous reminder, so she chuckled and said: "If you don't tell me, I really forgot, this garden will be my home."
It’s already in my name, I just need to change it to a more elegant name.”
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful and unspeakable beauty, waiting for her words.
The eldest princess of Jinyang turned her eyes to look into the distance again, and said softly: "I also have a manor in Xishan. Its name is Tangyuan. Although it is not as vast and luxurious as it is, it is especially elegant and unique. I look at this manor.
The garden is built halfway up the mountain. If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist. Why not call it "Cloud Garden"?"
As he spoke, strange ripples surged in the inner lake.
Last night, he was said to be a "golden house hidden in a golden house", but now she can be regarded as a "golden house hidden in arrogance".
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he muttered the word "Yunyuan" in a low voice, nodded, and praised: "The clouds are in the blue sky, the water is in the bottle, Yunyuan is indeed a good name, Your Highness is ingenious."
As he said this, he couldn't help but take a peek at Yuanchun.
Yuanchun was also a talented woman, and Grand View Garden was named after her.
With all the scenery in heaven and on earth, Fangyuan should be given the name of Grand View.
When visiting relatives, the "celestial treasure land" was changed to "the villa for visiting relatives".
Yuanchun was standing with his hands down, peeking at the young man in python robe from time to time. Suddenly he felt a profound look coming towards him, and his beautiful eyes that looked forward to the glory quickly moved away, and his heart skipped a beat.
Hengdi, why are you...peeping at me?
The eldest princess of Jinyang chuckled lightly and said: "Don't worry, I will also buy it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the original price, and will not line my own pockets like others."
Jia Heng glanced at the beauty, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness's character is as bright as the sun and the moon, and I am sure to admire you."
Yuan Chun saw the two of them looking at each other with serious eyes and holding courteously, and for a moment he felt ridiculous.
Based on this, I almost thought that what I saw and heard yesterday was just a dream.
Jia Heng chatted casually with the eldest princess of Jinyang again, looking at the pavilions, pavilions, rockery and waterside pavilions in the garden. After a long while, the bright spring light shone on the grass, trees and rocks in the garden, either shadowy or bright, the breeze came slowly, and the willow embankments formed green waves.
, the lake surface is sparkling, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Jia Heng looked at it, a little lost in thought.
I secretly thought that if I come here and stay for a month or two in the summer, I can be said to be nourishing and harmonious, and my life will be prolonged.
Chinese classical gardens pay attention to building mountains with stacked stones, digging pools to draw springs, which are suitable for the mountains and rivers, following nature, and covered bridges and pavilions.
The so-called "one view at a time" means that except for the high pavilion, in any place, you should not be able to see through the mountains, rivers and vegetation at a glance, but only the shadows, as if holding a pipa to half-cover your face.
"The ancient dignitaries were not as good at enjoying themselves as today's people, and were even more refined." Jia Heng said secretly.
He is actually quite good, happy but not indulgent, happy but not lewd.
Not to mention that it’s not the time to “have fought for a lifetime and it’s time to enjoy it”, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will eventually get tired of looking at it if you are stuck in the world.
"What are you thinking about, Governor Jia?" Princess Jinyang called out and asked with great interest.
Jia Heng suddenly came back to his senses at this moment, looked at the beautiful beauty, and said: "Your Highness, you were just attracted by the scenery for a moment, not thinking about anything."
"Perhaps you are thinking that although Yunyuan is nice, it is not a place where you will live for a long time?" Princess Jinyang suddenly said quietly with her phoenix eyes sparkling.
Jia Heng: "..."
There is something in these words, and who is it hidden in?
Fortunately, the eldest princess of Jinyang seemed to have said it accidentally and was not persistent. She ordered: "Dudu Jia, accompany me for a walk."
Jia Heng handed over his hand again.
Looking at this scene, Yuanchun felt that the feeling of absurdity and confusion in his heart was even worse, but for some reason, he felt a little... envious.
Then a few people got down from the attic and walked along the lake. Pieces of strange-shaped rocks were piled randomly on the bank of the river. Under the willow tree, an octagonal four-column pavilion could be seen, with stone tables, benches and other furnishings inside. The pavilion was named "Qu".
Lan".
As for the lake, there is a water pavilion.
Jia Heng walked slowly along the lakeside with the eldest princess of Jinyang, followed by the female officer and the nanny behind her.
By noon, General Jinyi, who was inspecting the garden, was summarizing the news to Jia Heng one after another.
Generally speaking, although some belongings were searched in Yunyuan, the so-called hoard of gold and silver was not found.
In the octagonal pavilion, Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang exchanged glances.
There was a hint of coldness on Jinyang's eldest princess's beautiful face, her red lips opened slightly, and she said softly: "Then dig three feet into the ground."
Jia Heng said thoughtfully: "Your Highness might as well wait for the letter from Jinyi Mansion."
Early in the morning, he sent someone to send a message to Qu Lang of Jinyi Mansion, asking him to ask Luo Chengwang about the secret room or cellar in Green Xiaoyuan.
"That's fine." Princess Jinyang nodded. At this time, the nanny served the fragrant tea, and the two of them sipped the fragrant tea and waited for the news.
Coincidentally, just at this moment, Ji Yu, the master in charge of the execution of thousands of households, came to avenge his death, and Qu Lang came over.
Jia Heng left the pavilion, walked through the cloister, walked around the rockery, and came to the Moon Gate. He saw Qu Lang, who was waiting with several captains in brocade clothes, and a copy of his father's letter in his hand.
"Qu Zhenfu, have you asked me yet?" Jia Heng asked directly without beating around the bush.
Qu Lang cupped his hands and said: "Sir, according to what Luo Chengwang said, Xiaoluyuan was built under his supervision. According to the instructions of King Zhongshun, there are three places to hide silver, Qifangxuan, Diecuiting and Lingyun Pavilion. In addition, Zhou Shun also said
There are seven or eight places where King Zhongshun hides his silver in other villas in the capital."
As a confidant of King Zhongshun, Zhou Changshi knew very well some of King Zhongshun's secret affairs.
Qu Lang said and handed over the note in his hand, which recorded Luo Chengwang's confession about hiding the property and Zhou Shun's explanation. There were fingerprints and paintings on it to prove it.
Jia Heng took the note, lowered his head to read it, and said in a low voice: "Go search according to this, make a list of the inspected property, register it, and make a register. I will have a rough number here at the court meeting tomorrow."
"Yes, sir." Hearing this, Qu Lang raised his hands in response.
Jia Heng watched Qu Lang tell Captain Jinyi to go and get busy, while he turned back to the lakeside, met up with the eldest princess of Jinyang, and asked: "Your Highness, we have found the place where the silver is hidden. Should we wait here for news, or should we wait for the news?"
Look around."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "Let's just take a walk in the garden. This time we came out to enjoy the spring scenery."
Because Captain Jinyi was conducting an inspection and there were many people watching, the two of them had to keep a distance and could only pretend that Jia Heng was escorting the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty to inspect the garden.
Jia Heng responded aloud, and then, together with a group of nuns and female officials, the eldest princess of Jinyang left the pavilion and continued to visit the spring scenery in the garden. They chatted and watched the scenery along the way, which was quite pleasant.
By noon, the group came to the lakeside again.
"How about going fishing at Shuixue?" Princess Jinyang said softly, seeming to be interested. Before Jia Heng agreed, she ordered: "Lianxue, let someone prepare a fishing rod. I will fish here for a while."
Lianxue responded and ordered her grandma to go.
Not long after, he took two bamboo poles, prepared bait, and handed them to the two of them.
"Here, Governor Jia." Princess Jinyang invited her with a smile on her face.
Jia Heng took the fishing rod and threw it into the lake, and ripples suddenly appeared on the lake surface.
Secretly, a fisherman is not an air force?
Behind him, a group of nuns and female officials were serving tea and snacks.
…
…
Just when Jia Heng was leading the guards of the Jinyi Palace to inspect the stolen money in King Zhongshun's villas, King Zhongshun was being escorted into a prison car by a group of policemen on the bluestone road outside the yamen of the Neiji Factory.
This old king has already changed into prison uniform. Although he has not been tortured in the past two days, he has only been demoted to a commoner, which has made his face gray and haggard.
Dai Quan, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, looked at King Zhongshun with somewhat complicated eyes.
Yesterday he was the honorable eldest brother of the emperor, but now he is a prisoner of his subordinates. Even though he is used to seeing many such scenes of losing power, he still can't help but feel emotional.
Could it be that there really is a god with his head raised? God is not used to seeing a loyal and obedient prince deceiving his father, so he sent an earthquake. God's punishment was in response. Otherwise, why did the collapse of only a dozen or so houses in the huge divine capital happen to collapse the imperial mausoleum?
?
It is necessary to spread the message according to the holy will that "man and God are indignant, and God's punishment must be met."
"My father-in-law, I will escort you here right now." The consul-in-command said to Dai Quan, who was thinking about himself.
Even though King Zhongshun was deposed as a commoner, he was still of the Tian family's blood. There were still people from the internal inspection factory who kept an eye on the work. If he had any illness, he would be delayed for medical treatment. Of course, he would not be allowed to be lazy on the construction site.
"Go ahead and be careful on the road." Dai Quan warned.
The consul-in-chief responded with a smile and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, the clatter of horse hooves came from far away on the street, and it could be heard clearly on the quiet street.
Dai Quan and the consul-in-chief turned around and saw a carriage with eight-treasure hairpins approaching, accompanied by a group of escorts wearing red coats and black armor.
And on the flag board that was raised, the words "Zongfan Qijunwang" were clearly written.
At this time, King Zhongshun couldn't help but raise his long-bearded head, and looked closely at the fat man who had stepped off the carriage, his body trembling with fat. He was slightly startled, and called out: "Big nephew."
Chen Cheng, the king of Qi County, walked a few steps quickly and came close enough to call out: "Uncle, everything is okay."
King Zhongshun obviously didn't expect Chen Cheng to come and look at him. He looked excited, stretched out his hands, held Chen Cheng's hand, and said, "Nephew, how is the situation in the palace?"
"Uncle, the palace is now guarded by the Jinyi Palace Guards, and the property is being inspected." Chen Cheng said, then smiled at Dai Quan and said: "Prime Minister Dai, can Xiao Wang lead uncle to the carriage for a drink?
Let’s see you off with some water and wine?”
Dai Quan looked at Prince Qi in surprise, smiled and said: "What did the prince say? Of course, the prince can see him off, but just lead him to the carriage. This... it is better to see him off in the Yamen, the room is also spacious."
However, it needs to be under the watchful eye of the inside defender.
Prince Qi smiled and said: "Xiang Dai, although my uncle has been deposed as a commoner by the emperor, but as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. The two words Xiao Wang said to his uncle are just the laws of nature and ethics, and they are not the same.
What's the hindrance? Besides, the emperor's and father's decrees did not prohibit Xiao Wang from giving his uncle a farewell meal."
This little slave, it's not that he has lost his power, that he looks down on others. In the past, he would have given him convenience if he hadn't greeted him with a smile.
And even if his words were passed to the ears of Grandpa Huang, even if he was scolded a few times, in retrospect, he would still feel in his heart that he did not avoid trouble and was sincere and sincere.
Otherwise, there won’t be any relatives to send it to, which would be too unsightly.
Seeing that there was something hidden in Chen Cheng's words, Dai Quan accompanied him with a smile and said, "Then the prince can do what he wants."
As he said that, he watched Chen Cheng lead King Zhongshun into the carriage.
There was a cold feeling in my heart.
He could not offend any of these vassal kings. It might rain in that cloud in the future. Even with His Majesty's will, the Qi Commandery Prince wanted to come and have no chance with Dabao, but it would be hard to have an open conflict with him.
In fact, as the internal minister next to Emperor Chongping, it was too late for the two kings of Qi and Chu to make friends, and he would not offend them easily, but Dai Quan would not offend them rashly.
On this side of the carriage, King Qi Jun helped King Zhongshun enter the carriage compartment. The carriage compartment was spacious and contained a small table with water, wine and a few side dishes.
The two of them sat down, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Uncle has suffered a lot." Prince Qi lifted up the jug and filled it for Prince Zhongshun, his eyes almost turning red as he said.
Seeing this scene, King Zhongshun felt complicated and sighed: "Eldest nephew, I didn't expect you to come to see me."
Although I knew that the royal family members were almost "confined" and would not be able to come, it was still a bit sad to be on the road now and no one came to see them off.
"My uncle also hugged his nephew back then. Even though I opened my own house and it was inconvenient to have contact with my uncle, he has always been a respectable elder in my heart." Chen Cheng said, his eyes were wet and he cried.
Seeing this, King Zhongshun was moved in his heart and sighed: "My nephew, I am now in this situation. Alas, I can't help you."
When he was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he did not dare to make the slightest move towards the two kings of Qi and Chu because he was speculating on the holy will.
Now, I didn't expect that this nephew who was often laughed at behind his back would take the risk of being eaten and hanged to give him a gift.
As expected, it is harder to draw a dragon or a tiger than to draw a skeleton. Knowing a person and his face... Well, no, you can tell a horse's power from a distance, and you can see a person's heart over time.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but pick up the wine cup and took a sip of the wine. The smell of wine was rising, and my eyes were a little moist, and I said: "Nephew, I misjudged you in the early years."
"What are you talking about, uncle? My uncle also took care of his nephew a lot in the past, and he will always remember it in his heart." Upon seeing this, Chen Cheng picked up the palm-leaf fan-sized hand, lifted the wine pot, and filled another glass for King Zhongshun.
King Zhongshun picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of food, and sighed: "You boy, you are so thoughtful."
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Chen Cheng suddenly said angrily: "Uncle, do you know how arrogant Jia Heng's son has been in my uncle's house these two days? I heard that Jia Heng's son actually bullied his aunt and his cousin Rui'er."
"Is this happening?" King Zhongshun slammed the wine cup and said angrily: "How dare he?"
When Chen Cheng saw this, he secretly said, "Uncle, why doesn't he dare? He is now trusted by his father. When something happened to his uncle, the whole Rongguo Mansion was overjoyed when they heard that his uncle was here.
Soon I saw their jokes, but now I am seeing their retribution.”
These words were naturally made up by Chen Cheng. Although the Rong Ning Palace was indeed gloating about others' misfortunes, how could they say it to everyone? However, this fabrication was generally in line with human nature. After all, the Zhongshun Palace and the Rong Ning Palace were in the same boat and looked down upon each other.
A joke can also be guessed.
King Zhongshun looked gloomy and said coldly: "Now this Jia Heng boy is becoming more and more powerful."
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Chen Cheng added more fire and asked, "Uncle, do you know who is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs now?"
"who?"
"Aunt Jinyang."
"I guess it's her!" King Zhongshun said coldly: "If she hadn't recommended Jia Heng to the palace in the first place, how would the Ning Rong Palace be today?"
"No!" Chen Cheng sneered and said, "Aunt Jinyang has probably been a widow for many years and has fallen in love with Jia Heng."
King Zhongshun frowned and said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be so. Jinyang has never had such a thing in these years. It is probably because of her daughter."
Chen Cheng said: "Even if there is no such thing, uncle, from what I can see, this Jia Heng son is really a Cao and Mang type. When he was at the palace gate, you didn't know that he dared to use the emperor's sword to kill him just after he did something."
My servant Yi Er is simply arrogant, domineering and lawless!"
"Is there such a thing?" King Zhongshun was really shocked this time.
At this moment, Chen Cheng told everything about Jia Heng who was holding the Emperor's Sword in front of the palace gate and chopped off his servant's ear.
It can be said that this matter has been hidden in his heart for a long time. Because he regarded it as a great shame and humiliation, he never mentioned it to anyone else. Now that he told it to King Zhongshun, it naturally aroused "the same hatred and hatred".
King Zhongshun's face was gloomy and uncertain, his cold light flashing, and he said: "To put it this way, it is really... no courtesy to a human being."
Chen Cheng said coldly: "Uncle, this little Jia Heng is a hawk and a wolf. We must not keep him here. Uncle, we have to think of a way."
Upon hearing this, King Zhongshun frowned, but his excitement calmed down a little. A trace of suspicion suddenly appeared in his heart, and he asked: "Eldest nephew, if I remember correctly, is it because of him that your title was reduced?"
"Uncle is right!" Chen Cheng said angrily, his chubby face twitched a few times, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Because of the incident with the Sanhe Gang, my nephew was paid millions of taels of silver by his father.
My uncle also knew about it, and later he was deposed by his father and grounded for several months. All of this was thanks to Jia Heng's son. I will not live up to this humiliation, and I will never let others down!"
King Zhongshun's old eyes flashed, and he felt a little clear in his heart.
He naturally knew that the person in front of him had a lot of hatred for Jia Heng. Speaking of which, not long ago, they had agreed to deal with Ning Rong's second mansion together, but he... Damn it, what are you doing with the Earth Dragon?
Thinking of this, I let go of the suspicion that suddenly arose in my heart.
"How can I be willing?" Thinking of this, King Zhongshun said angrily.
Chen Cheng hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Uncle, you also know the situation of my nephew. Now he is like a tiger in peace and being bullied by a dog. He wants money but no money, and he wants a title but no title. I am afraid that I will face this little Jia Heng again.
Maybe one day I will be with my uncle, and I will be deposed as a commoner."
When King Zhongshun heard the words "Destroyed as a commoner", he frowned and was speechless for a moment.
Chen Cheng observed the situation and mentioned something in a low voice: "By the way, uncle, the emperor has promised me to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum."
When King Zhongshun heard this, he was startled, and he somewhat guessed what Chen Cheng meant.
This is to win over him, but what else in him is worth winning over?
unless……
Yes, he has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years and has hidden a lot of property. These properties are hidden in various places. These gold and silver treasures undoubtedly attract this fat nephew.
There is also his son and daughter's in-laws, Gao Zhongping, the governor of Sichuan, although he is also a confidant in the palace.
Chen Cheng whispered: "Uncle, don't worry. My nephew will supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum and won't let my uncle do too much heavy work. Although I don't dare to let my uncle be well-dressed and surrounded by concubines, just like before, I won't let my uncle suffer."
Too tired."
King Zhongshun's eyebrows skipped a beat, and he felt a little moved.
He was thinking about this matter yesterday in the prison cell of the internal police factory. Considering that he is nearly fifty years old, if he is engaged in hard labor, he will probably not survive more than three or two years. No one can compare with him, the former supervisor.
I know the pain of building the imperial mausoleum.
If the current Prince Qi takes over the task of supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum, then as long as he threatens these internal supervisors like he does today, at least he will suffer less.
In the future, who knows, there will be... a day of comeback!
Compared with this, those belongings are a bit insignificant. If you don’t bring them with you during life or death, you will make it easier for others!
Besides, his imperial brother treated him so harshly, so why did he ever care about the great contributions he made when he seized the throne!
"My eldest nephew, please let me think about this matter." King Zhongshun frowned and said: "However, as for the silver, I still have some places to hide silver in the capital, Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou, etc., which is about
Three to four million taels of wealth can be considered as some help in dealing with Ning Rong's second mansion."
When Chen Cheng heard this, his heart was ecstatic, but the flesh on his face twitched, but he kept showing his expression. He hesitated and said: "Uncle, my nephew has absolutely no intention of doing this. Besides, uncle and brother Yuan are taking over these family assets. Logically, these should be left to
He is."
King Zhongshun said: "Yuan'er is in Chengdu, in charge of the Chengdu Weaving Bureau, tea houses, and mines. He and the Gao family are related to each other, and he also helps to manage food and wages, so he will not be too involved. In a few years, he will not be without mercy."
You cousins will discuss the opportunity to attack the king after he comes back."
Chen Cheng's heart finally skipped a beat when he heard the words "care about it again."
The risk was worth it!
Another helping hand!
"Also, when you saw me today, you were too showy. Although I told Dai Quan what I just said, but... you know your father's temperament." King Zhongshun suddenly thought of Emperor Chongping and reminded him.
.
When Chen Cheng heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle, don't worry. It's precisely because of my father's suspicion that my talents are unreal and those are unreal. I came here in such a grand manner, but my heart
No ghost, at most I will have to be scolded by my father, who will think that I am as stupid as a pig, but he will not take it too seriously."
Naturally, he had considered these things before coming, and contacted him secretly, but he was suspected by his father, and the consequences were unpredictable.
He wanted to do the opposite and conspire openly!
When King Zhongshun heard this, his heart trembled. He looked at the fat face opposite him and thought to himself, he really underestimated him.
After thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "You had great merits back then... That's all. In short, you just need to know what you have in mind, but you can't delay it for too long. I won't eat this meal until I get here, and I'll go down first."
."
At this moment, he regained his fighting spirit.
Either he helps the person in front of him ascend to the throne so that he can have the opportunity to be crowned prince again, or he takes chestnuts from the fire and looks for an opportunity to sit on that chair.
Anyway, he has nothing to lose now, except this old life!
At that time, the Jia family will wait and see!
"By the way, there is one more thing. Someone assassinated me years ago. You should pay attention to this matter in the imperial mausoleum." King Zhongshun was about to pull down the curtain when he suddenly remembered something and frowned.
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't let you go on a business trip. Besides, the emperor is just an uncle who goes to build the mausoleum. Who dares to harm my uncle?"
