Zhang Wenguan did not leave, but jumped off the horse and dusted himself off.
Seeing this scene, Li Xian also understood and quickly jumped off his horse, still ready to receive the order.
Although the Tang Dynasty frowned upon kneeling down, it was still necessary to kneel down when the dynasty held meetings and received orders.
When an emperor issues an imperial edict, there are generally three situations: reward, punishment, and edict.
The edict is to be announced to the world, so the emperor at this time has the status of "Emperor", and his ministers naturally have to kneel to receive it.
As for rewards and punishments, to the extent that an imperial edict is required, the only ones are promotion and family destruction. For a great thing like promotion, let alone kneel down to receive it, he would also be happy to let the person who received the order kneel down to receive it. As for those who break up their families, leave their jobs and win titles, if you don't kneel down, someone will naturally kneel down on you.
The team of Qianniu Guards slowly stood up, and the eunuch on horseback also jumped off his horse, cupping his hands and saying: "His Royal Highness King Yong, Zhang Shizhong, this servant came with no imperial edict, only a verbal instruction from His Majesty."
Hearing this, Li Xian and Zhang Wenguan both accepted it.
Oral instruction is different, handing over is enough.
"I ordered King Yong to move to the newly built King Yong's Mansion in Changlefang. There is no need to enter the palace to pay his respects for the time being. I ordered Zhang Wenguan, the attendant, to return to the province."
After saying that, the eunuch stretched out his hands.
Under Li Xian's puzzled gaze, Zhang Wenguan took out the imperial edict from his arms and handed it back to the eunuch.
Only then did Li Xian remember that the imperial edict carried by Zhang Wenguan had the four characters "acting cheaply".
It's easy to do something cheap, not to mention that Zhang Wenguan was originally a servant, and when he left Chang'an City with the imperial army, it was no different than holding Shang Fang's sword in his hand. Most people just cut it off, that is, if they cut off a certain vassal king, the most they can do is return to Beijing immediately and explain to the emperor.
Such an imperial edict must generally be returned after a matter is over.
After handing over the imperial edict, Zhang Wenguan suddenly became much more relaxed.
Cupping his hands, Zhang Wenguan said to Li Xian: "His Royal Highness King Yong, since Qianniu Guard has taken over, I will take my leave."
Li Xian nodded and gave it away.
After watching Zhang Wenguan leave, Li Xiancai looked at the eunuch and asked, "What is your name? Prince Yong's Mansion was originally in Daningfang, why has it been moved to Changlefang now?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, your servant Li Yun. The move of Prince Yong's Mansion to Changlefang is your Majesty's arrangement. In addition, I am following His Majesty's order. From now on, I will be the steward of Prince Yong's Mansion."
"On orders".
Li Xian knew that he had no say in the appointment of the new chief steward of Prince Yong's Mansion.
Li Yun quickly adapted to her new identity, mounted her horse, and naturally let her horse lead half a body.
An ordinary servant would not be able to hold this position. Now that he is positioned higher than the prince, it shows that he is ready to act as a human shield at any time.
Behind Li Yun, Li Xiancai finally found the opportunity to take a good look at him.
Tang Zhen described eunuchs in this way in "Book of Heng": "Looking at them does not resemble a human body, looking at them does not resemble a human face, hearing them does not resemble a human voice, and observing them is not humane."
Coupled with the influence of later palace TV dramas, Li Xian hated eunuchs from a sensory perspective.
However, since the time he came into contact with the eunuch Li Yun, he had not found anything disgusting.
The only thing wrong is probably this guy's skill.
Without a horse-mounting stone, unless you are an extremely skilled person, it is difficult to mount a horse at once.
The Qianniu Guards are known as the emperor's inner guards, and there are several of them. It took two or three attempts before they mounted their horses. As for Li Yun, he didn't even step on the stirrups and climbed up as soon as he turned over.
With such skill, tsk tsk, Li Xian wouldn't believe it if he said he didn't know how to do it.
Seeing Li Yong in front turn around, Li Xian naturally shifted his gaze.
Under the protection of a hundred thousand cattle guards, Li Xian passed through Zhuque Street, turned right in front of Zhuque Gate, turned left at the northwest corner of Pingkangfang, and headed north along the imperial city wall.
It’s a pity that we didn’t see Pingkangfang, the famous red light district in Chang’an.
But now that the prince is mourning, leaving aside other places, all entertainment, singing and dancing are definitely prohibited in Chang'an. It is estimated that apart from the people in Manchang'an who want to take credit from Conglong, the only one who really prays for the emperor and prince to live a long life is Pingkangfang's sister.
Turn again at Yanximen and then turn again at Laitingfang.
Just when Li Xian felt that he was about to be deceived, he finally arrived at Changlefang.
When we arrived at this place, we could already see the Daming Palace clearly to the north.
The Daming Palace was built in the eighth year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan reign. However, due to the impact of a series of events such as Li Yuan's death, construction was not restarted until Li Zhi ascended the throne and unfortunately suffered from rheumatism. Twenty-nine years later, the third year of Longshuo, Tang Dynasty mobilized the whole country to complete the construction of Daming Palace.
According to records, during the construction period, taxes from fifteen states were used to build the Penglai Palace, and officials in the capital were reduced by one month's salary to help build the Penglai Palace...
The construction of a new imperial palace has caused so many troubles, which shows that the so-called peak of the Tang Dynasty's national power is actually not that good.
"Your Highness, it is better not to look at the Daming Palace. Things are being done in the palace now. In order to pray for the prince, the emperor and the empress are fasting and reciting sutras, and do not see outsiders. Even the oral instructions of the slaves are also reproduced after seeing the words on the paper. Do you want to Please wait until the fasting and blessings are over."
Hearing Li Yun's voice, Li Xian sighed and followed him into the square gate.
In the past, he had not studied this information in depth. Now that he had arrived in the Tang Dynasty and interpreted it again, he discovered the problems inside.
Changlefang is right in front of Daming Palace. Those who can live here are naturally expensive. Because of the special geographical location, no matter how wealthy a businessman is, it is impossible for him to settle here.
It is thick in the north, sparse in the south, rich in the east and rich in the west. This is the distribution pattern of Chang'an City.
Now is the time of great mourning, and every house in Changlefang is hung with soul-calling flags, and everything in front of the door is pitch black. It is naturally very common to see a few people kneeling while burning paper and crying.
The emperor is the person who can best control other people's emotions in the world. When the emperor is happy, the people around him will also laugh. When the emperor is sad, if the people around him don't cry, there will be big problems.
Therefore, when he saw that the front of the newly built Prince Yong's Mansion was clean and tidy, Li Xian had no choice but to order money for incense candles and paper. He had to make the front of Prince Yong's Mansion pitch black no matter what.
It is said to be newly built, but it looks like a renovated mansion.
But there is no need to worry about it. Building a palace in an area like Changlefang is a big problem just considering the area. After all, there are regulations on how much area the palace occupies. There may have been connivance during the fiefdom, but in Chang'an, under the noses of the Ministry of Rites, they would not turn a blind eye to any violations, even if they were caused by the emperor.
