The house is very large, the door faces east, it is divided into two courtyards, the outer courtyard lives the head of the village and the servant woman, and the inner courtyard can only be seen through the outer courtyard.
Lou Jing stretched out his hand and grabbed His Royal Highness the Prince's hand, and led him directly towards the inner courtyard.
After passing through the hanging flower gate, and bypassing a nine-curved corridor, at the end of which was a wide water pavilion, on which tables, chairs, and soft couches were placed.
Beneath the pavilion is a fountain of living water that flows from the bottom of the cobblestone pool.
The other end of the water pavilion is connected to the door of the inner courtyard, which is not surprisingly a moon gate, and a rockery is used in the door instead of a screen, and the green vines are on it, which is tightly shielded, and the situation in the courtyard cannot be seen clearly.
"It's a mess in there, let's sit here and wait for them to come."
Lou Jing pointed to the chair on the water pavilion, where a servant woman had already placed a cushion.
Xiao Chengjun bowed slightly, sat down quietly, obviously arrived at the inner courtyard, but said that it was messy inside, let him sit on the water pavilion, if he couldn't see that there was a problem in it, he would do it in vain, "This Zhuangzi is your private property" "Well," Lou Jing let go of His Royal Highness the Prince's hand, waved his hand to let the little guy go down, and made tea with his own hands and handed it over, "The Lou family has three granges in the suburbs of Beijing, and this Zhuangzi was rewarded by Taizong during the reign of Taizong, and my grandfather gave this Zhuangzi to me when I was eight years old." ” "During the Taizong period, could it be" Xiao Chengjun looked around, "this is Youyunzhuang" An Guogong during the Taizong period, or the founding father who followed Taizu to fight the world, Taizu died, and An Guogong, who was old and strong, continued to follow Taizong to expand his territory.
At that time, the sixteen states of Youyun in the north were not national territory, and the remnants of the former dynasty were entrenched there and invaded the border from time to time.
It is said that An Guogong only led a team of light horsemen, broke 16 cities in a row, chased the enemy for 800 miles in the starry night, and beheaded the only remaining prince of the previous dynasty under the sword.
Taizong Longyan Dayue, this "Youyunzhuang" was one of the rewards at that time.
"I heard that An Guogong only brought sixteen people back then."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the tea made by the Crown Princess, took a sip, and glanced at the Moon Gate, which was still very quiet.
"The story has been passed down for a hundred years, and it will inevitably be exaggerated," Lou Jing shook his head, "Youyun Sixteen Prefectures is the name of the previous dynasty, although it is only sixteen counties, but the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no tens of thousands of troops where to attack, but it is true that only sixteen people are chasing the enemy for eight hundred miles." ” As he was talking, Gao Yun walked out of the inner courtyard with more than a dozen men in black, they maintained a peculiar pace, light with a bit of murderous aura, like a dagger with a blade, breaking through the air, unstoppable.
Xiao Chengjun clenched the cup and saucer in his hand and slowly put it on the table, "This is what the Lou family will raise in every generation, Youyun Sixteen Guards," Lou Jing didn't seem to see the vigilance of His Royal Highness the Prince, and raised his hand to fill his cup with water, "On the battlefield, it's called Youyun Sixteen Cavalry." ” Yesterday, Yun Ba came back after delivering the news to Lou Jing, and now the one kneeling in front of them is complete, inherited for more than 150 years, and Youyun Sixteen Rides Xiao Chengjun quietly looked at the sixteen people kneeling in front of him, from the appearance to the kneeling salute, they didn't make any sound from beginning to end, "Didn't the sixteen horsemen of the Lou family follow Lao An Guogong to die on the battlefield?"
Lou Jing's eyes darkened, "Each generation of sixteen horsemen is raised when the head of the family is young, grandpa died in battle, and his sixteen horsemen naturally have to be martyred." ” Xiao Chengjun was stunned, and slowly clenched the hand in his sleeve.
But it turned out that what Lou Jing wanted to show him was not a melon and fruit planted by himself, but a dead man cultivated by himself.
In this Zhuangzi, there are by no means only these sixteen people, how many dead soldiers can be raised in the huge inner courtyard, and this courtyard is only twenty miles away from the capital.
"Youyun Sixteen Horsemen, only loyal to the head of the Lou family to which he belongs," Lou Jing slowly stretched out his hand and held the hand hidden in his sleeve by His Royal Highness the Prince, "The monarch who is loyal to the head of the family." ” Xiao Chengjun slowly turned his head and looked straight at his crown princess, who was telling him that this force was not his threat, but his help.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly realized that he had married Lou Jing, and it seemed that he had made a lot of money It was rare to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was a little sluggish, Lou Jing couldn't help but lean over, deliberately rubbed a white ear, and said softly: "Your Highness, you are still satisfied with the minister's dowry."
The slightly cool thin lips were pressed to his ears, and bursts of hot air sprayed into his ears, and Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but tense his body.
"Shizi, there is a person outside the village who claims to be surnamed Yao and asks to see him."
Gao Yun listened to the little girl's report and lowered his head.
There is never a shortage of people in this world, such as Yao Zhu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Lou Jing sat up straight as if nothing had happened, and waved his hand to let the sixteenth guard retreat to the inner courtyard, "Let him in." ” "Yao Zhu is because he is vacant for his younger brother and blocks Shen Lian's way."
Xiao Chengjun picked up the cup again and took a sip without hurrying.
Lou Jing chuckled, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was exchanging news with him, and the cooperation between them was already a little more trusting than before, "If Yao Zhu is really so afraid of him, go and make a compensatory deal with Shen Lian, won't this matter be over?"
With the growing power of the Inner Servant Province, the money-greedy eunuchs will occasionally do some things to buy and sell officials, but they have been doing business with official positions below the fourth grade, and the buyers are also people with meritorious reputation, so there is no chaos.
Of course, this is also because Yang Youting, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of the deployment of officials, is a very stubborn old man who manages the officials strictly.
Therefore, the number of places that eunuchs can buy and sell is relatively rare, and Yao Zhu and Shen Lian robbed him, which is indeed easy to offend him, but it is not a big deal.
"There must be something else going on here."
Xiao Chengjun sighed, Yao Zhu's younger brother was born in the two rankings of Jinshi, and he was originally a county guard in Qingyang, but he was dismissed because the river dam in Qinghe County, which was subordinate to Qingyang County, was implicated.
It is understandable for Yao Zhu to run for his younger brother, but he offended the eunuchs, which can be regarded as a disaster.
Yao Zhu got on a sedan chair and walked to the west of the city, afraid of being seen, and deliberately changed the carriage behind a temple with strong incense.
"Minister Yao Zhu see the crown prince and the crown princess."
Yao Zhu only brought a scholar, and was stopped by Gao Yun to the outer courtyard, so he came alone, and when he saw the two people in the water pavilion, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Lord Yao, please get up."
Lou Jing accepted this salute with a smile, and Xiao Chengjun also raised his hand to let him get up.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister deserves death for blocking the car driving yesterday, but the minister is also desperate," Yao Zhu refused to be a small servant to add a new chair, and only stood up, "When Geng Yushi was in prison, it was useless for anyone to write a book, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could persuade the emperor, and the minister could only dare to ask His Royal Highness to save his life." ” Lou Jing supported his forehead with one hand, and looked at Yao Zhu with a smile, "Lord Yao's words are not right, there are many people who can persuade the emperor, the prime ministers on the left and right, the inner chamberlain Lord Shen, the father-in-law Huaizhong, and even the concubine Niangniang, why don't you go to them?"
"My father is arbitrary, and my words are just grasshoppers shaking trees."
Xiao Chengjun held the cup and slowly hurried the end of the tea with the lid of the cup, ignoring Yao Zhu's earnest plea at all.
Dense beads of sweat oozed from Yao Zhu's forehead, and he was originally only thinking about how to convince the prince, but he didn't expect this princess to be so difficult, so he had to kneel down again, and he went straight to the bottom, "The minister doesn't want to trouble His Highness, but this matter is also involved with His Highness." ” But it turned out that Yao Zhu's younger brother Yao Su had been a county guard in Qingyang County for three years, and he was about to be promoted, but unexpectedly, heavy rain fell in August, and the Qinghe River burst its embankment, almost flooding the fertile fields of Qinghe County.
The court sent people to check, only to find out that it was the Qinghe County Decree who privately withheld the silver taels for the imperial court to build the embankment, and Yao Su had previously given the Qinghe County Decree a good evaluation in the official assessment submitted to the Ministry of Officials.
"What do these have to do with the prince" Lou Jing looked at Yao Zhu, and estimated that the Qinghe County Order had given gifts to his younger brother, otherwise such an obvious cutting corner, as a county guard, would not know "Your Highness doesn't know," Yao Zhu wiped the sweat from his head, gritted his teeth, and took a deep breath and said, "Someone in the court has impeached, saying that the money for building the embankment was embezzled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ” "What" Xiao Chengjun raised his head sharply and looked at Yao Zhu who was kneeling on the ground.
Lou Jing was also shocked, embezzling the money for repairing the embankment, which was as serious as the greed for ink and disaster relief, Huo Ran got up, grabbed Yao Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said word by word: "Adults should be measured when they speak." ” "The minister is absolutely untrue," Yao Zhu was taken aback by Lou Jing, and said tremblingly, "Today, the court has already begun to discuss this matter."
