The war far away in Suizhou City would not shock Qina'an at all. Even though there were still countless snowflakes of letters secretly delivered to the capital, it still had not spread among ordinary people. The war far away in the imperial city had not yet spread. , although news comes from time to time, somehow it never spreads. Na'an has visitors from all over the world, and he is most taboo with these seemingly indifferent literati spreading such news at will. And at that time, he was deeply implicated in this matter, and people remembered that the whole family seemed to have no shortage of them. Scholars, and this emperor was also a scholar who had never valued the ordinary so much.
There are realms that are trapped by monsters, and there are realms where you can enjoy the wealth and honor of the world.
Everyone in the Imperial City knows that there is such a spacious and magnificent mansion in Panlong Street, which is closest to the Imperial City. And this mansion happens to be located on this precious land, but in this mansion, people come and go People who go out are never dressed in anything luxurious, and they never ride in a sedan when traveling. Instead, they mostly walk slowly on their feet. However, no ordinary people know who lives in this mansion with no plaque. Such a wealthy person, or someone who lives here, is in a high position.
In this magnificent mansion, it is rare that anyone comes to visit. Except sometimes some famous villains come to visit and travel with the people in this mansion. Apart from that, there are rarely any important ministers from the same court. , or some wealthy businessman who has the slightest connection with them, it is clean and tidy as new. Even the servants guarding the mansion have not behaved like a dog and a man, and there are people from outside the imperial city coming from time to time. When I come here to ask for directions, I can always get involved with these servants for a long time. The servants who guard the house all have good words.
Everyone in the Imperial City knows that in such a capital, there is always such a magnificent mansion at the end of Panlong Street. Sitting here is a normal place, but he is very kind to others, and has never seen him involved in any party members. After a while, it also turned into a scene in the imperial city.
It was only after noon today, and it was rare for anyone to come to visit.
If some people had seen this scene, they would probably make some comments, but today when these three people came to the door, they did not attract the slightest attention from the people. After all, they were used to it. These three people all had white faces and no beards, and they seemed to be quite dissatisfied. They were bookish, not to mention the two people behind them, and they were carrying two volumes of calligraphy and painting in their hands. It was obvious that they were ordinary literati who came to visit, and they probably relied on this family's methods to gain a foothold in the upper Qi literary world.
Entering the mansion, you will see pavilions, terraces and small buildings, mountains, stone bamboo forests, and gurgling water. ..
There is certainly living water to draw in the capital, but this is not the case for this family. It is not living water, nor does it draw water from all the way outside the imperial city, nor does it draw water from the most unsophisticated moat. The water flow is warm and it looks crystal clear, which is the most difficult thing to see.
"A few of our family came from a place where dragon energy is very strong. We plan to come here to discuss some good things with you. I would like to inform you that we will wait in front of this hall. When will you come? It's not too late to come forward and salute before you meet us." Even in the imperial city of Shangqina'an, there are many scholars who are very feminine because they are at their desks all day long, but the person who spoke first was too soft. He spoke slowly, and heard that the servants in front of the main hall were a bit suspicious. However, as a servant who had been in the house for many years, he certainly had that level of discernment. He could see that the words and actions of these three people were indeed extraordinary, so he went ahead. Don't dare to be slow when giving a gift, and go quickly to report.
It goes through the hall and corridor.
"Recently, the sky in the imperial city has become a bit deserted. It always makes people wonder whether it is a vision from heaven. When the world encounters such a change, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad. Thinking about what if If the Buddha has knowledge, he will definitely be able to protect everyone in the world and live in peace in the imperial city. It seems that it cannot be said to be a bad thing that wastes one's life. It is a rare situation that can only be gained by giving up. Have you ever understood this truth? Heart?" On the small building on the left side of the mansion, there is already a middle-aged man holding a cup in one hand and a Buddhist bead in the other. He is slowly twisting the beads in his hand, coming back and forth. The string of beads in excellent condition is already He was as clear as jade, with kind facial features. He gently put down the tea cup and put on heavy clothes. He looked like he had a hidden illness, so his complexion was slightly pale.
The Empress Dowager of the Qi Dynasty, who was already dying of old age and illness, brought several relatives to the imperial city, but she never allowed them to interfere in politics. Instead, she left such a valuable corner mansion on Panlong Street. Arrange all these relatives here, now
Years and months apart, Emperor Qi was grateful for the time of year, and these relatives tried their best to help him. Whether it was money or manpower, they all solved the urgent needs of Qi several times. Therefore, he awarded Qi a plaque to call him Guangfu, and also gave him countless pieces of money, food, and cloth. , the marquis can live in the city, but he does not need to go to court, and in critical seasons, he can enter and leave the capital at will.
However, the time of the imperial concubine was not much easier, especially after Xun Wenqu ascended the throne, he once bluntly told the emperor that the imperial concubine had absolutely nothing to do with politics, lest he become overly ambitious and disrupt the imperial court. , is a rare favor from the Qi Dynasty, but he suffers from the fact that he has little power in his hands. He can only live in the city and not have any real power. Therefore, until the Empress Dowager, who was granted the title of Marquis, died of old age and her younger brother, there was no such thing as However, the other relatives were even more weak and indifferent. As time went on, they left Beijing to find a way out.
The current head of Dingguang Mansion is the eldest son of the Empress Dowager's younger brother.
Unlike his father, who always wanted to enter the court, Dong Wuyang had never shown much ambition. He liked eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. With the Dong family's wealth, he often built pagodas and temples in various places. He was most sincere. At that time, he was looking for the most precious treasure of Buddhism. , and even handed over countless money and food. Perhaps because of this, the Sage of Shangqi felt very relieved towards the son of his uncle who shared the same grief and anger, and often called him to the palace to reminisce about the past and have a drink. However, he was even more peaceful and never stopped. He never revealed his desire to ascend to the imperial court with the emperor, but his relatives, the Dong family, became the most powerful family in the imperial city, but it was only limited to business.
Xun Wenqu once urged the emperor to move the Dong family out of the imperial city, but the sage was grateful that his uncle had helped a lot back then, and his heirs were lacking, so he could not stir up trouble at all, so he rarely dismissed the matter. Instead, he thought for the sake of lenient and Dong Wuyang, His eldest son was ordered to guard the palace. Although he had not been promoted in real power, he was still able to appease Dong Wuyang and the entire Dong family.
"What my father said is true. It is not always easy to be a relative of the emperor. Although I have never had the feeling of accompanying the emperor and the tiger, it seems that many people in the court are polite on the surface, but secretly they are quite dismissive of the Dong family. They know that He has no real power and is just superficially flattering his colleagues, but in reality, he is not even remotely involved."
Dong Wuyang's son was good at martial arts and had a tall and strong figure. He often wore the silver armor of the guard in front of the court hall. His eyebrows were naturally a little arrogant, but when he mentioned this, there was always a look of helplessness in his eyebrows. He filled his father's cup of tea. He shook his head repeatedly.
"The purpose of choosing Bozhu, the name of my father, for you is to make you pure in mind and spiritually wise, and act in a safe and sound manner. There is no need to worry about this matter. Since the emperor has considered it, and because of the so-called lessons learned from the past, if this makes the whole audience The state of Qi is peaceful and the people are safe. Since the Dong family does not need to worry about food, clothing, money, and there is such a precious mansion on Panlong Street, no matter what, we must thank the emperor for his kindness." Dong Wuyang did not impose strict discipline, but followed the good instructions and gave the Buddha beads Zhen Zhen hung it back on his wrist, his expression was very peaceful and peaceful, and he was very happy. He didn't pay attention to the slight complaints in his son's words.
The servant reported that there were three very effeminate scholars who asked to see him, and they are still in the main hall.
Dong Wuyang did not ask his son to follow him, but went down to the small building alone. When he passed the water pool, he rarely stopped and looked at the water in all directions from the covered bridge.
There is a gurgling water in Dong's Mansion, but few people know that this water comes from the spring in the inner courtyard of the palace and is led to the mansion. It is very warm here, especially in winter, which makes the entire Dong family occupy a large area. No one in Guang's mansion felt cold, but there were no swimming fish in the pond, and there was no sign of flourishing aquatic plants. I still remember that in the summer, almost the entire Dong Mansion was sweating profusely, and it was difficult to live in peace for half a day. Dong Wuyang often had the habit of sitting on this covered bridge, suffering from the scorching heat, and never listened to the advice. Go to the shade.
"The head of the Dong family is indeed a smart man and knows his intentions."
Just when Dong Wuyang stood with his hands down and looked towards the surrounding water, three feminine people with equally pale faces and less blood had already stepped into the covered bridge on their own. When the leader spoke, He spoke softly, but you could still hear some shrillness in it, and he had a strong sense of teasing, "How can there be schools of fish and shrimp in the warm water all year round? What's more, the Dong family is not ordinary fish and shrimp. Since the owner understands the intention, Are you really willing to accept this torture?"
"The Dong Mansion does not allow people to come in and out at will, but a few of them broke the rules without knowing it."
Dong Wuyang replied calmly, glanced at the three people in front of him, but he was very
It soon became clear. The most forbidden thing for Shang Qi to break into privately was the Na'an Palace. Although the Dong Mansion was not allowed to break in by force, it seemed a bit inappropriate to prevent these three people from entering and exiting the palace at will based on the rules of the Dong Mansion.
"Unless there is something urgent, our family really doesn't want to come out for air. What's more, even if it's for air, we can't come to Dong's Mansion. All sensible people in the world know that Dong's Mansion is for people to cook, until now We still don’t dare to break the rules at all, but it’s a very difficult place, but this time we come here, the Dong family head’s city is smarter than some of our family thought. Now that our family is here, it’s a rare good thing , I want to make some plans for the head of the Dong family, and the price is of course easy to negotiate."
At first glance, giving him a magnificent mansion on Panlongzheng Street is a sign of a saint's favor, and spending a lot of money and manpower to dig out the spring in the palace and divert it here is even more of a sign of the saint's favor. However, is this not the death of the Dong family? The writings written in the capital could hardly take root at the feet of the emperor, and they had no choice but to be tossed by the warm water of the spring. In his eyes, they could not bear their weight.
