Regarding Jia Quan's worries, Huang Qiong waved his hands and said: "Although Sir's worries are not unreasonable, there is no need to make too much of a fuss. This is the capital, and under the eyes of the father, they are not so bold. As for It is more dangerous to leave the capital, but sir, do you think my father will let me leave the capital easily?"
"Some of the precautions need to be improved, but even with all the trees and grass at war, I still think it is not necessary. Sir, please be more restrained during this period and don't leave the house for the time being. One is that after today, my father will definitely Pay attention to you. If you come into contact with some people too frequently, it can easily cause unnecessary trouble."
"Second, they may not dare to attack me, the king of the county. But if I want to kill my husband, I think they still have the courage to take an arm out of my arms. I only have one person on my staff, so we should be careful. Mr. Your safety is more important to me than anything else."
Huang Qiong was very stubborn on this matter, which made Jia Quan helplessly shake his head. Jia Quan now has a bad premonition, that is, if Jing Zhaoyin is okay this time. If something happens, the prince will probably jump over the wall in a hurry. No matter how the prince tried to get rid of him on the surface, it would be strange for the prince not to be angry when something happened to his money bag.
Especially once the clan affairs were rectified, the emperor really pushed himself out as a young prince. Those clans with ruthless tactics joined forces with the prince. Of course you are not afraid if you do it openly, but if you do it secretly, you are really hard to guard against. Although it is impossible to go out to Beijing, what if we start around the capital?
Who can guarantee that this young prince will never leave the inner city? People are keeping an eye on you and will kill you at the first sign of trouble. When you're done, leave the city immediately. Where can you go in this big world? There are some things that Huang Qiong, who grew up in the cold palace since childhood, doesn't know, but how can Jia Quan, who has been among the people for many years, not know?
In the past year or two, a pacifier on Henan Road died suddenly, and the cause has not yet been found. In the end, the case could only be closed hastily with one person dying of a sudden illness. Regardless of the river construction, Liang Huaibei Road Zuo Shenzhen actually inexplicably ran to the Huaihe River control construction site, and even more inexplicably lost his footing and fell into the water.
In both cases, Jia Quan suspected that the local vassal king had done something wrong. Although there were no other clans in Henan Road, the two princes Duan Wang and Jing Wang were enough. Lianghuai North Road is the vassal territory of Fuli County Prince and Shouyang County Duke. Is it possible that these two officials who died inexplicably had nothing to do with these people?
This group of people can make the second-rank pacifier and the third-rank Zuo participate in politics, and die inexplicably, let alone a county king? It's just that Jia Quan, who is now familiar with Huang Qiong's character, has always been quick-witted. But for the moment, he didn't know how to persuade Huang Qiong to follow the arrangement and bring more guards.
In fact, neither Huang Qiong nor Jia Quan expected that the emperor would move so quickly after returning to the palace. On the third day after the emperor returned from his palace in Hejian County, he issued two explicit edicts in succession. The first imperial edict promoted Huang Qiong's title from County Prince to Prince, and his Hejian County Prince was renamed King of England.
Gao Wuyong, who did not hesitate to come personally to convey the imperial edict as the eunuch in charge of Wende Hall. After congratulating Huang Qiong, he said: "Your Majesty, this slave is here today. In addition to conveying the imperial edict, there is also an oral message. It is what the officials have repeatedly told me, and I have asked my slave to convey it to you without missing a word."
"Zhao Jingzhao Yin Zhang Qian was unable to control his subordinates during his tenure. As for Jingzhao Mansion, he sent people to kill people and did many illegal things. I think that he has been loyal and diligent in the king's affairs for many years, and I also care about his three generations of loyalty. I cannot chill the heart of this old minister, so I will not pursue his crime of indulging his subordinates."
"But in order to warn the world, he was removed from the post of Jingzhao Yin of the third rank. He was demoted four levels and was appointed as the general judge of the sixth rank of Yongzhou, Guangnan West Road. "The former co-president and general judge of Jingzhao Mansion, as a member of Jingzhao Mansion, he This matter was turned a blind eye, and the actual inspection was unfavorable. The two were immediately removed from their posts of Tongzhi and Tongjian, and were transferred to Guangnan East Road, Yazhou Fuyi Tongzhi, and Longyou Road, Zhangye County Cheng. "
"Other officials of the former Jingzhao Mansion were also unfavorable in the inspection. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Yushitai came up with the disposal regulations within seven days and were severely punished respectively. The three officials handed in the seal immediately after receiving the order and left within three days. Beijing, there must be no delay. His Royal Highness, the servants and the people who went to Jingzhao Yin to deliver the imperial edict will leave the palace at the same time. It is estimated that by this time, the Jingzhao Mansion has also received the imperial edict."
Huang Qiong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what this Eunuch Gao said. He did not expect that although the imperial edict was secretive and put most of the responsibility on the servants of Jingzhao Mansion, the action would be so decisive. Not only did he send Jingzhao Yin thousands of miles away in one breath, and chased him from the emperor's feet to Guangnan West Road, he also completely purged all the officials in Jingzhao Mansion.
Even King Duan's confidant and Tong San, who didn't know the master was behind him, were all driven out of the capital in one fell swoop. And there is almost never a good place for demotion. Today's Yazhou is not the Hainan of the previous life, it is a tourist paradise.
Hainan in this era was still a place full of miasma, and almost all officials regarded it as a place of exile. There is also Zhangye, who might have ended up in the Uighur territory after a fall. Judging from the places where these guys were assigned, the emperor showed no mercy at all this time.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong looked at Gao Wuyong, who was waiting for him to enter the palace to thank him. Although he was a little hesitant, he still asked: "Dare you ask Mr. Gao, do you have a candidate for the new Jing Zhaoyin?"
In response to Huang Qiong's inquiry, Gao Wuyong said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor has issued an order to transfer the deputy censor of Yushitai to temporarily act as Jing Zhaoyin. As for other officials, this servant does not know. But this time the emperor He sent someone to the Jingzhao Mansion to declare the decree, and he brought five hundred imperial guards with him. The emperor gave the oral instructions, and several officers who contradicted the King of England that day were beaten to death on the spot."
Having said this, Gao Wuyong looked at Huang Qiong, who didn't say anything after hearing his words and had almost no expression on his face. Pointing to the prince's robe held by a eunuch behind him, he bowed and said: "It's been a while since the slaves came out, and we can't keep the officials waiting too long. Please also ask His Royal Highness to change clothes and enter the palace with the slaves to thank you. stop."
Seeing that Eunuch Gao was already urging him to drive, Huang Qiong had no choice but to put on the prince's dress that was awkward and cumbersome no matter how he wore it, tied on the heavy jade belt and left his home. The palace. Just when Huang Qiong walked to the door of the mansion and was about to mount his horse, he was grabbed by Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao, who grabbed Huang Qiong, pointed to a prince's sedan carried by sixteen people and said: "My lord, what you are wearing is a prince's dress. This is not in line with etiquette when riding into the palace. Your prince's sedan , I have sent someone to the imperial department to get it back, you’d better take a sedan chair.”
Huang Qiong, who wanted to ride a horse but was stopped, looked at the splendidly decorated sixteen-person sedan, and looked at Gao Wuyong, who was dragging him beside him with a firm look on his face, and could only sit on the sedan helplessly. As the gong player in the full prince's ceremonial sequence brought by the high father-in-law gave a long gong sound, the sixteen-person sedan steadily lifted off the ground and began to walk.
Although these bearers carried the big sedan quite steadily, Huang Qiong, who was now used to riding a horse, still felt stuffy and aggrieved in the sedan. Although this large sedan chair is very spacious, Huang Qiong doesn't feel at all oppressive sitting in it. Even if there were two more, it wouldn't feel crowded, but Huang Qiong was still not used to it.
Just like him in his previous life, although his wealth was enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz and BMW. If you want to spend more money, Ferrari or Rolls-Royce are also affordable. But the car he drove was a relatively ordinary Chevrolet SUV costing more than 200,000 yuan. In this way, it is still because of my career as an underground worker that I need to travel frequently in the wild.
Ordinary family cars have poor off-road performance, so I decided to buy one. This is not because he is stingy, but because he thinks that the car can meet his needs. There is no need to be so luxurious, and there is no need to enjoy it at a young age. And inexplicably, after reaching this era, first he and his mother went out to practice martial arts in the city and could only rely on two legs.
Later, I developed an interest in horseback riding, and I had no interest in riding a sedan, a means of transportation for humans and animals. This was the first time he rode in a sedan after returning to this era. He had almost never used the twelve-person county prince's sedan that the Imperial Palace Secretary sent him after he returned the prince's sedan.
Although in this era, his 16-passenger sedan can be said to be equivalent to the top-end Rolls-Royce touring car in his previous life in terms of ride comfort and other aspects. But it was his first time riding this kind of sedan. He didn't enjoy it, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Looking at the luxurious configuration of this sedan of this era, second only to the emperor's thirty-six-person sedan and the prince's twenty-four-person sedan, as well as the sandalwood rising from a partition in the sedan, the yellow Qiong could only shake her head slightly. Sometimes he really didn't know what his ancestor was thinking.
Perhaps when I went to Beijing to take the exam, I saw the majesty of the princes and princes of the former Tang Dynasty riding in large sedan chairs when traveling. Maybe they think riding in a sedan chair is much more comfortable than riding a horse. When entering Chang'an, they used a shoulder chariot as a means of transportation.
After he captured Chang'an, he was no longer willing to ride a horse. The few times he left the palace, he always used the imperial chariot of the former Tang emperor. Even when Dangxiang's cavalry arrived outside the city of Chang'an and prepared to stop the city, that is, when they were preparing to run away, they never thought of riding a horse, and even refused to ride in a carriage.
Following the example, my ancestor would only ride in a much more comfortable imperial chariot after entering Chang'an City. The civil and military officials below all followed suit. Not only did all the civil servants ride in sedans, but even the military attaches refused to ride horses. Even when they went into battle to command operations, they had to ride in sedans.
Finally, it was even stipulated that officials at different levels would ride in different sedan chairs. Even eighth-rank officials can ride in a sedan carried by two people. You know, even in the former Tang Dynasty, let alone military attaches, even first- and second-grade civil servants could only ride carriages or ride horses as a means of transportation without the emperor's special care.
After Taizong ascended the throne, although officials below the fourth rank and military attachés under the age of sixty were strictly prohibited from riding in sedan chairs. But the sedans used by officials of fourth rank and above were fixed. Moreover, as time passed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the world became increasingly extravagant and glitzy. Not many people paid much attention to the customization regulations stipulated by Emperor Taizong back then, and it became a common practice for officials to ride in sedan chairs.
Not to mention that there are very few civil servants above the seventh rank who do not ride in sedan chairs, and even military attachés often ride in sedan chairs. But in Huang Qiong's opinion, riding in this sedan is indeed more comfortable than riding in a carriage or horseback. But sitting in the sedan, can officials still see the outside world? Once the arrogance and extravagance is developed, I am afraid it will never change.
