Zhu Bai sighed: "It's a pity that I can't see you anymore."
Zhu Xi said, "It's not difficult to meet him. My twelfth brother can stay with me until the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhu Bai sighed: "Oh, my father asked me to go back during the Dragon Boat Festival. Let alone the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhu Ping's heart trembled: Zhu Bai reminded him of something very important. Even if Zhu Bai is used to replace Deng Zhiqiu, it must be done watertight, otherwise Lao Zhu will see the flaw and it will not be as simple as killing Deng Zhiqiu.
Although not as good as Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Xi'an in spring is still very beautiful.
Crimson and pink peach blossoms bloom brightly beside the city wall.
Bright yellow jasmine branches hang down from the wall of someone's house, shining brightly.
Green willow branches sway by the lake and the river that passes through the city.
There are also swans, wild ducks and mandarin ducks swimming leisurely on the lake. When they see people coming from a distance, they flutter away and fly away.
From time to time, you can see girls hanging out wearing pink, green, and purple skirts.
In Yingtian, it is rare to see such an eye-catching scene.
We ladies never leave the house without taking a second step.
However, the folk customs in the northwest are fierce, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there is naturally a lot of freedom.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, he did see the beautiful scenery in Xi'an that he did not see in Yingtian.
It was a worthwhile trip.
After walking along the city wall and the main streets, seeing that it was almost noon, Zhu Bai said, "Brother Xinxin is accompanying me to visit Xi'an City. I want to go to the Guanya Bureau."
Zhu Ming cupped his hands and said: "Okay, brother knows that you are busy with official duties, so I won't ask you to come for dinner at noon. At the beginning of Xu Shi, I will hold a banquet at the palace to welcome you and wash away the dust. Then we can reminisce about the past."
Zhu Bai hurriedly replied: "Okay."
Over there, Chief Ya had been waiting for a long time, and he hurriedly came up to lead the way, taking Zhu Bai to the Guan Ya Bureau.
Zhu Bailema turned around and went to the Guanya Bureau in the south of the city.
The Guanya Bureau is managed in an orderly manner and the accounts are clear, which is basically consistent with the data obtained by Zhu Bai after combining the information from the Guanya Station.
It is not in vain that Zhu Bai selected the most capable agent from all the agents and sent him to Xi'an to start the official business.
Zhu Bai asked Fugui to take out Cynomorium cynomorium and Hetian jade to support his teeth and bring good luck to the sky.
Then he told Chief Ya about Lan Rong and the reopening of the Silk Road.
Ya Chang was also very excited after hearing this.
Anyone with a little business experience will understand the benefits of reopening the Silk Road.
By then, the transaction volume of Xi'an Guanya Bureau will far exceed that of Taiyuan and Beiping, becoming the richest place in the north.
Zhu Bai said: "So we must quickly build the inn from Xi'an to Xining and the second-level official dental bureau in Xining. These things will be a lot of hard work for you."
Ya Chang raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do a great job for you."
Zhu Bai said: "There is no one at this time. Regarding King Qin's affairs, if you have anything to say to me, just say it now."
On weekdays, letters cannot be explained clearly, and secondly, they are afraid of being intercepted, which actually harms the growth of teeth.
Zhu Bai and Ya Zhang both made a tacit agreement not to ask or mention anything.
Ya Chang didn't want to say anything at the moment.
As soon as Zhu Bai and Zhu Xi were brothers, he accidentally started to stir up trouble and drive a wedge between the princes and brothers. Secondly, this really has nothing to do with him.
But now that Zhu Bai takes the initiative to ask, there must be something wrong. If he continues to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he is afraid that it will implicate Zhu Bai.
Ya Zhang hesitated and replied: "I also heard some things from others. If there is any untruth or offense, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Zhu Bai nodded: "It doesn't hurt to tell me everything you heard."
Chief Ya said: "I heard that Empress Deng has not shown up for several months. King Qin will leave some grain and grass outside the city every once in a while. His Highness the King of Qin's men also come to Guan Ya Bureau to buy grain from time to time. Although they deliberately dress up as ordinary merchants , the person is replaced every time, but his subordinates can still recognize him."
Mainly because the temperaments of soldiers and ordinary businessmen were so different that he couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to.
Zhu Bai frowned slightly after hearing this: So, Deng Zhiqiu was held hostage by Wang Baobao?
Ya Chang lowered his voice and continued: "His Royal Highness King Qin's personal bodyguards suddenly lost twenty people. We only said that he died of illness."
Even if it's a plague, it's impossible for twenty people to die at the same time.
Zhu Bai lowered his eyes and thought deeply: In other words, Zhu Fang once led 20 people and No. 7 to rescue Deng Zhiqiu, but the entire army was wiped out.
No wonder Wang Baobao has so many Yanling knives and No. 7s.
Fortunately, fortunately, Zhu Ping is not considered a collaborator.
Teeth grow and he stops talking.
Zhu Bai said: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't worry."
Ya Chang said: "His Royal Highness King Qin has always doted on Empress Deng. Since Empress Deng disappeared, His Highness King Qin's temperament has changed drastically. Your Highness, please be careful."
Zhu Bai understood: This Zhu Xiang is no longer the Zhu Xiang of Yingtian.
In order to save Deng Zhiqiu, he would do anything, even hurt Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "I understand. Thank you for telling the truth."
Chief Ya was afraid that Zhu Bai would not realize the seriousness of this matter, so he added: "For the safety of His Highness, it would be best for His Highness to leave Xi'an as soon as possible."
Zhu Bai: "Okay. I'll leave tomorrow."
I want to see Hongyuan no matter what.
At least when Zong Di asked, he would have something to say.
Zhu Bai looked at the sky and said, "It's almost time to go."
He chose a good-quality and large piece of Hetian jade, which he could use as a decoration with a little carving, as a door-to-door gift, and he planned to set off.
Ya Chang: "Your Highness, please bring a few more people."
Zhu Bai said: "No, I just need Master Zhang, Master Mao and Fugui to go with me."
There were so many people at the banquet tonight, and everyone knew that he went to Prince Qin's Mansion.
Mr. Zhu would not be so stupid as to treat him like this at the banquet.
-----
Zhu Bai settled down at the inn in Guanya Bureau, took a bath and changed clothes, and then went to Zhu Xi's place for a banquet.
The palace of the Prince of Qin began to be repaired when Zhu Xi was granted the title of king, and it was not completed until before he became a vassal.
Because when Lao Zhu was crowned king, he said: King Qin is the head of the vassal kings. The idea is to let him lead other brothers to protect Northern Xinjiang.
Therefore, the scale of the Qin Prince's palace must also be the largest among the vassal princes' palaces, in order to "conquer people's hearts and strengthen the barriers."
The palace city of King Qin has two layers of walls, the inner and outer walls, with a small wall and a palace wall. There is a moat between the Xiao Wall and the Mansion Wall. Combining the city wall and the moat outside the city, it is a "three-layered city, two-layered moat" structure.
This is the same structure as Yingtian's palace.
The Qin Palace is known as the "Ten Miles of the Palace". Zhu Bai had only seen the ruins of the palace wall in his previous life, and he was quite skeptical about the legendary scale.
Now when I look at it, tsk tsk tsk, it’s really big.
Visually, it is larger than the later Forbidden City in Beijing, and even larger than the current Imperial Palace in Yingtian.
Zhu Bai smacked his lips: "Wow. Second brother, how big is your palace."
Zhu Xi felt a little proud and said: "It's not too big, it's just. Two thousand five hundred acres, 888 rooms. Because the population is not large now, some rooms have not been decorated yet and are vacant."
