After leaving the capital, Mu Sheng and the girls traveled slowly and leisurely, traveling around the mountains and rivers. They walked for more than five months before finally arriving at Zhi (zhi) County, his fiefdom in Linzhang County, a big city.
This place is only a hundred miles away from Xiongcheng, the county seat of Linzhang County. When Gongzi Sheng's motorcade arrived at the gate of the city, the county magistrate Meng Shi, the highest official in the county, led the county's elders to line up outside the city to greet the emperor's proclaimed prince. An Lehou.
Mu Sheng glanced at the tall and majestic city walls of Zhixian County and thought to himself, this city is considered a large county with more than 100,000 households in the county. It is very prosperous, and all the taxes from this fiefdom will be spent on him. .
The magistrate of the county in Jin Dynasty is called the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is called the county magistrate. It can be seen that the emperor really has no regard for him. In the future, as long as the new emperor succeeds to the throne and does not think about messing with him, then he will live the life of a god from now on. This treatment is better than that of ten thousand princes. Come on, he should be counted as the only one who has been assigned to one hundred thousand households since the founding of the People's Republic of China!
Mu Sheng saw the county magistrate Meng Shi coming from a distance, and quickly dismounted to greet him. After all, he was a local official, and he was just an empty prince who came to enjoy wealth. He must still treat the local powerful people with courtesy.
Meng Shi stepped forward and bowed and said, "I'm here to see the Marquis of Anle. The Marquis has come from afar. I and the people of Zhixian County have come here to greet Anlehou."
Mu Sheng also bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Meng is too polite. From now on, I will still need Magistrate Meng's care as I live in Chu."
Meng Shidao: "Why, Anlehou is so polite. Anlehou is the son of a phoenix and a dragon. His presence here is a blessing to the people of our county. Anlehou, please follow me to Anlehou's house."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he wondered: "Has the Hou Mansion been repaired so quickly?"
Meng Shi got on his horse and marched together with Young Master Sheng, explaining: "Anlehou doesn't know something. This county used to be the hometown of Chen State. There is a mansion in the city that belonged to King Chen Min's brother Pingyang Jun."
"Pingyang Lord was enshrined in Zhixian County, and his mansion was quite grand in scale. Later, His Majesty unified His Majesty and visited Chu on his eastward tour. He also lived here for a period of time. It has been used as a temporary palace during His Majesty's Eastern tour, so it has a ready-made The place has been reported to the imperial court, and I ordered people to repair it for An Le Hou's use."
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "I see, Pingyang Lord Chen Sheng? Chen Guo Shangqing, are you the traitor and traitor who later betrayed King Chen Min and led the three kingdoms of Lu, Yu, and Zheng to attack Chen, causing King Chen Min to be defeated and forced to self-immolate to death?"
Meng Shi said awkwardly: "Well, it's him..."
Mu Sheng raised his forehead slightly, thinking, "Can't you?" What does it mean to seal this place to him? Do you want him to follow the example of the "sages" and find the right time to defeat the superior? Impossible, maybe it's just a coincidence...
During the Warring States Period, feudal lords such as Pingyangjun were actually granted real estates, and they also had the right to manage the territory. They used the fiscal revenue from the territory to support private soldiers and were not subject to national conscription. Of course, they had the basic foundation to suppress rebellion from above.
But now that the Jin Dynasty has conquered the country, the system of counties and counties, and the feudal system have long been abolished. It is impossible for the feudal lord to actually take over the fief. Mu Sheng can only enjoy the wealth and honor here as an apartment tenant. He has money but no power. He can't travel in daily life. You have to be monitored by the local county magistrate, who can report to the court at any time. Rebellion? Then I really think my life is too long...
Gongzi Sheng's motorcade passed through the city gate and arrived on the streets of Zhixian County. The residents of the city gathered around the roadside and looked at Mu Sheng's motorcade curiously. Meng Shi led everyone to Dongcheng District, the largest and most magnificent building. In front of the group, it was obvious that the entire building complex had been renovated and was larger than Mu Sheng's mansion in the capital. The outermost perimeter was a towering rammed earth courtyard wall with turrets placed every few hundred steps. The whole complex looked like a city within a city with an outer wall. It was built like a fortress.
Mu Sheng thought to himself, this Pingyang Lord Chen Sheng is indeed a senior rebel, he is very well prepared!
Mu Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said to Meng Shi: "I am very satisfied with this mansion. Magistrate Meng, if you don't give up, I have several imperial chefs brought from the capital. Those who are not skilled in craftsmanship, can the magistrate please?" Are you going to gather with me at the mansion?"
Hearing this, Meng Shi waved his hands and said: "I appreciate Marquis Anle's kindness. I am busy with official duties and will have to go back to the Yamen to run errands. I will take my leave now!"
Young Master Sheng had no choice but to send him back.
Mu Sheng secretly laughed in his heart. Meng Shi was actually afraid that as a local official, gathering in his house would be suspected of being linked to the princes. If the court found out about this, he would stop being an official as soon as possible.
After entering the mansion and entering the courtyard after seven days, Mu Sheng led his wife and concubines around the mansion several times. He sighed in his heart, this Pingyang Lord Chen Sheng is really extravagant. It is even more luxuriously decorated than his son's mansion. many.
Compared with the current Anlehou Mansion, Mu Sheng's mansion in Beijing was a townhouse with a starting price of three million yuan at most. The mansion left by Pingyang Jun was a super mansion with a price of at least hundreds of millions of yuan. Two key points are highlighted. The word "rich".
Mu Sheng was amazed when he saw it. He remembered the original owner of this mansion, Pingyang Lord Chen Sheng. In the era of the nations, Chen Sheng successfully killed Queen Chen Min with the help of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, and established King Chen Min's crown prince to succeed him as King Chen Miao. He became the prime minister of the Chen Kingdom, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Unfortunately, Chen Sheng was very ambitious. King Chen Dao was poisoned to death by Chen Sheng less than two years after he came to the throne. After the regicide, he was fortunate to usurp the throne and become the king.
What Chen Sheng did was naturally a deed. He was on the throne for about three years and was rebelled by his subordinates. He died violently and his whole family was killed, so the sage was born. They can do anything that goes against ethics. Fathers kill their sons, sons kill their fathers, kings kill their ministers, and ministers kill their kings. People from all over the world find it strange if they feel that no one has rebelled for a long time in their own countries. Their lives are really too ordinary. , boring!
In fact, to a large extent, this kind of thing happened because the system construction was not in place. This kind of thing happened often, which led to the kings in the middle and late Warring States Period being firm supporters of the county faction. When they were enfeoffing, local forces posed a great threat. The central authority is really screwed up.
Mu Sheng sighed in his heart about the unpredictable fate of the owner of the mansion. Chen Sheng was indeed a senior rebel. No matter in his time or in the Warring States Period in this different world, even though he had the same name, he still couldn't restrain his restless heart. heart of……
Mu Sheng put away his thoughts and arranged for everyone to settle down in the mansion. Gongzi Sheng and a large group of people helped the old and young move in, but there were actually many empty rooms that were unoccupied.
According to the number of Pingyang Jun's wives and concubines at that time, there were more than thirty people. Mu Sheng thought about it in his mind. Huiling, Yun'er, Xixue, Muyinaqi, Hongmei, and Li Xiu who didn't come with them, the total number of them was only six. Individually, you can’t even get together a football team? It seems there is a long way to go! I have to work harder...
In Mu Sheng's previous life, she read the stupid setting in the romance. A social bastard girl who died unexpectedly while working overtime accidentally traveled to ancient times and became a famous lady. A bunch of handsome and well-connected rich and powerful men surrounded her. Kind of flattery, holding it in the palm of your hand, licking the soles of your feet.
It wasn't until Mu Sheng came here that he realized that the heart was not like that at all, right? A man with some power basically has a group of wives and concubines, and there is no shortage of women at all. He has a relatively small number of them. Most of the time he has one rooster and a dozen hens. Anyway, he has never seen five or six. A rooster is just knocking a hen and laying eggs. The hen is too busy, right? Although this metaphor is indeed somewhat inappropriate, this is the reality. In an agricultural and animal husbandry society, the economic base determines the superstructure.
