As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Shunyi Prince's Mansion. Lan
This is the headquarters of the army, and the Chinese army is stationed here.
"This gatehouse is very good when it comes, very impressive, and still in the style of my Ming Dynasty." Zhang Shize praised.
A majestic gate tower stands in front of you, with a vermilion door and door nails. On the plaque hanging above the central door, there are several golden characters of Shunyi Prince's Palace written in Chinese characters and Mongolian script.
Yang Fan carefully looked at the shape of the palace. This was a rare opportunity to visit the palace of a foreign vassal.
Facing the south is the gate of the palace. There are three gates, one bright and two dark, with a courtyard in the middle. There is an eight-character wall outside the gate. Facing the palace in the south is a green brick screen wall, which contrasts with the gate of the prince's palace.
There are a pair of white marble stone door piers on both sides one meter inside the palace gate. The red lacquer door shines with fifty-six special copper nails eight vertically and seven horizontally, showing the majesty of the palace.
The Shunyi Prince's Mansion faces south and has a unique architectural structure that is unique among palace buildings. This prince's mansion is a typical Ming Dynasty architectural style. At the same time, it also absorbed many grassland elements. Lan
The gate of the palace faces south. The foundation of the entire palace is made of large bluestone strips. The walls are made of water-polished blue bricks with seams, overhanging eaves, and five ridges and six animals on the top. The materials used in the house are also very particular.
It is said that when the beams were being erected for the construction of the royal palace in Anda, due to the northwest wind, the unfixed beams fell down, killing several craftsmen on the spot, and the building collapsed.
This sudden accident made Anda feel that the houses built by the Han people were not strong and unsafe. Therefore, the houses built after that, including the palace bedrooms and the east and west wing rooms, all had double trusses, double beams, and thick columns.
Five thick round wooden pillars were erected in the front hall to form the hall. As a result, the building structure is very strong and rare in the world.
This kind of construction method was not found in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Shize and Yang Fan were amazed when they visited it.
"I underestimated this An Dahan. I didn't expect that he also had a lot of research on the architecture of the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Shize said.
"After all, I have ruled the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, and I have learned a lot of knowledge." Yang Fan said. Lan
There are three courtyards at the front and back of the palace. The front and back yards are separated by partition walls and have hanging flower doors for entry. In the middle of the front yard is the living room, with warm pavilions on the east and west sides. There are three east and west wing rooms in the front palace. The second courtyard is the palace bedroom, with five large rooms. The backyard is a storage room.
The entire palace is not large in size and has no gardens, but the place is very spacious.
There are roses and lilacs planted in the courtyard. According to the servants who did not escape, every summer, the whole courtyard is filled with fragrance.
The Mongols fled in such a hurry that many servants and maids did not have time to escape. At this time, they all stood aside with their hands down in fear.
"Which of you knows where the princess's house is?" Yang Fan asked.
An old nun came out and saluted respectfully: "I am the wet nurse of Your Highness the Princess. I will take you there."
Yang Fan looked at her for a while and asked, "Are you Han?"
"This slave is from Mizhi, Shaanxi Province. She was kidnapped and brought to Fengzhou. Because her milk is good, she was given to the princess and the little prince as a wet nurse."
"Oh, so these two children can speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin."
"Speaking, both young highnesses can speak fluent Ming Dynasty Mandarin. The old prince and princess also hired a Dingbian Juren master to teach the two young highnesses. Both highnesses are familiar with the Four Books From the Five Classics. The little prince also learned archery from Zhebie."
Yang Fan had known that An Sanxi had stayed here for ten years. All his skills were developed here.
Yang Fan was relieved to hear that the little princess was still familiar with Han culture. This will reduce many obstacles to communication in the future.
Zhang Shize was a little confused. Yang Fan was not very flirtatious with women, so why did he change his gender today? I heard about the female volume. I heard that the little prince fled to Junggar after the big change last year. I heard he died of illness this year. The little princess is also missing.
Could it be that the little princess is a stunning beauty? Why haven't I heard of it? Lan
However, when Zhang Shize went to see someone else's boudoir, he felt that he couldn't afford the price, so he just stood here and looked at the sky. Wait for Yang Fan to come back.
After a while, looking at Yang Fan, the beast, he came back with a half-smile. I felt contempt in my heart. This beast usually pretends to be aloof, but this time he went to see someone's boudoir. It's really cold.
"This little girl, even the maids are Han, and she has a room full of books, but she loves reading." Yang Fan shook his head and smiled. I thought that for a Mongolian girl, the room would be full of knives, bows, etc. The furnishings are also made of bear and tiger skins, antlers and so on. I didn't expect it to be like the boudoir of Jiangnan Xiaojia Biyu.
Zhang Shize rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear. He coughed and said, "Should we report the master's matter?"
Yang Fan slapped his forehead and said: "Yes, this matter must be handled as soon as possible. If His Majesty can agree, Qinghai and Zang District will be settled, and our left wing will have no worries."
Yang Fan wrote the memorial in the lobby of the palace, sent a six-hundred-mile expedited dispatch, and explained in detail to the emperor the importance of canonization and the important role of Qingzang in the security of the Ming Dynasty. He also said that this was a country that was about the same size as the south of the Great Wall without losing any blood, and it was possible to open up territory and expand the territory thousands of miles away.
After sending the letter, Yang Fan beat drums and gathered generals at the Shunyi Palace and began to make arrangements for sending troops to attack Jiuyuan City tomorrow. Lan
Six hundred miles in a hurry, one day and one night the post horses change horses without changing people, and one day and one night they gallop six hundred miles. It was sent out in the afternoon of the same day, and the memorial arrived in the Forbidden City on the morning of the third day.
At this time, Jiang Bingzhong was still slowly walking back with his troops. The imperial court had no idea about the great victory in Guihua City. The palace door had not yet opened this morning, but the messenger was already outside.
According to regulations, although the palace gate cannot be opened before the time, the six hundred mile rush is excluded. The letter was handed in through the crack in the door, without any delay.
In the morning, Chongzhen was used to getting up early. He had just finished washing and arrived at Qianqing Palace early. He was sitting down in Xinuang Pavilion and was about to have breakfast when he saw the eunuch Bingbi who was on duty at night, hurriedly holding Yang Fan's six hundred miles. Came in quickly.
The Secretary of Ceremony is known as the head of the twelve prisons. There are eunuchs such as admiral, Zhangyin, Bingbi, and Suitang. The admiral eunuch is responsible for supervising all etiquette, punishments, and management of errands and hearings in the imperial city. The Supervisor of Ceremonies is known as the "First Department".
The admiral supervised the daily work of various affairs in the palace, while the eunuch in charge was responsible for assisting the emperor in handling government affairs. Under the palm seal, there are eight, or four or five, eunuchs and eunuchs. Generally, the second and third eunuchs ranked by Bingbi also supervise the East Factory.
At this time, Wang Chengen was only a member of the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony. There were many eunuchs at Bingbi at this time. Lan
Wang Chengen saw Cao Huachun, the eunuch Bingbi ranked first among the ceremonial officials, coming in. He also gave a slight salute behind His Majesty.
Chongzhen put down the bun and asked, "Cao Banban came so early, but what happened?"
