The gate of the palace is divided into the main entrance and the side entrance. The door is associated with the face of the owner of the mansion. Generally speaking, except for the owner, only people with the same or higher status will open the door to welcome him. Those with insufficient status, or juniors, can only use the side door.
As for servants, they usually go through the back door.
Naturally, it is impossible for the dignified Prince Yong's Mansion to have only one servant like Li Yun.
When Li Xiancai entered the door, he saw a group of maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground at the door, shouting "Welcome the prince".
Without thinking too much, just looking at the ages of these eunuchs and the looks and figures of these maids, you can tell that they are all sent by the palace.
This is not letting me have any confidants!
Although he was slandering, Li Xian still said: "Since you have moved to Prince Yong's Mansion, it is best to cut off ties with the palace. I am easy to talk to, and you feel comfortable serving me, so the reward will be huge. But if I don't know what is good, I will The king will not be merciful. Now the general manager of the palace is Li Yun. Unless it is necessary, please do not bother me."
After saying that, Li Xian shook his sleeves and walked towards the back house.
Since these maids and eunuchs were selected from the imperial palace, they naturally included many informants. When he was just an ordinary prince, news from the palace would spread to the streets, let alone that he was about to become a prince now.
Seizing the heir has been an indispensable drama on the royal stage since ancient times.
Although the queen is becoming more and more powerful, the concubines, especially those with children, still can't help but look at the seat under the emperor's buttocks, dreaming that one day, their children can sit on it.
As for the ministers, they are even more enthusiastic. Conglong Zhigong is different from Xingjin. If you can support a prince to that position, as long as you don't commit suicide, a generation of wealth will not escape. Xu Jingzong just supported the queen and was able to live happily for the rest of his life. This is the best example.
And if you are lucky enough to survive the emperor, that would be even better. As long as the elders of the two dynasties did not seek death like Changsun Wuji, they could sneak into the position of the Third Duke and dominate the world. For example, Li Ji, during the Taizong period, there were so many famous ministers and brave generals. Although he was always mentioned together with Li Jing, his status was still far inferior. However, with the identity of "Minister Tuogu", in the court of the current emperor, he became a real "one person is inferior to ten thousand people".
It is because the power of supporting the child and the power of following the dragon are so special that Li Xian does not hesitate to think of these servants in worse ways.
Although the mentality of fighting against everything is wrong, at present, only the sound of wind and thunder can prevent them from making mistakes.
The renovation of Prince Yong's Mansion is still very good, especially the back garden, where the flowers are blooming in early spring.
Li Yong didn't know why His Highness King Yong wanted to visit the palace, but he was smart enough not to ask, because if it were him who returned to Chang'an from the fief for no apparent reason, he would also want to get familiar with the place where he settled down. familiar.
The paper money for incense candles was quickly bought. The first batch was a lot, and Li Xian lit it himself without leaving anyone else alone.
The fire sickle of the Tang Dynasty was very difficult to use. Li Xian tried several times but failed to light the tinder with sparks. Instead, he got a small cut on his hand from the fire sickle.
Li Yun was obviously a discerning person. When he saw this, he quickly found some hay and lit it to create a fire.
Although Li Xian was disappointed that he couldn't light the fire himself, he was obviously a fool to confront the fire sickle at this time.
Using the hay flame to ignite the paper money, Li Xian burned a pot of paper money without anyone else's help.
At this time, not only Li Xian was burning, but every household was burning at the door, and some were even throwing paper money on the street.
Just let it go, what's the matter with going back and forth all the time?
Seeing several young faces passing in front of him more than once, Li Xian knew their identities.
Obviously, these people are the descendants of senior officials and dignitaries in Changlefang.
King Yong returned to Chang'an. Although it was hidden, it was not a secret after all.
Now, many people have guessed the next candidate for the crown prince position. Although there are still many people who have some expectations for King Li Xian of England, King Yong's succession to the crown prince has obviously become the mainstream.
The future prince will naturally arouse curiosity. If it’s not a big funeral period, you definitely need to get close and personal. But when I encountered a big funeral, although my heart was scratching like a kitten, I could only hold it back.
When Prince Li Hongcai died, the officials fawned over the new crown prince. What did the Emperor and Queen think of this? The emperor is now sending a man with white hair to a man with black hair. The sorrow accumulated in his chest must be extraordinary. No one dares to be the carrier of this sorrow.
Therefore, although they watched King Yong burning paper money in front of the palace, these people could only pretend to be blind at this time.
Of course, there were those who pretended to be blind, and there were those who had bright eyes. Li Xiancai was about to leave the job of burning paper money to others. A little old man with a long beard and wearing mourning clothes who still did not hide his handsome face strode towards the door of Prince Yong's Mansion. Come.
You know, the Qianniu Guards who were guarding Prince Yong's Mansion at this time were Qianniu Guards, or Qianniu Guards carrying weapons. Even those guys who were walking back and forth only dared to pass by the wall of the square, and this was the first one who dared to get close. .
Damn it, under Li Xian's gaze, no one from the Qianniu Guard stepped forward to stop him, not even a body search.
You know, those guys passing by holding soul-calling flags were searched by Qianniu Guards before they were released.
Everything happened for a reason. Li Xian knew that this little old man was probably a high-ranking official who was not weaker than Zhang Wenguan.
Sure enough, the little old man bowed from a distance and said: "Zhongshu Ling, Zengshan County Duke Hao Chujun, pays homage to His Highness King Yong."
Hao Chujun?
Li Xian was stunned for a moment and then remembered who this guy was.
Hao Chujun, but generally known as Hao Zengshan. This is not a nickname, but a compliment.
Although Hao Chujun's ancestor was the prefect of Jiangxia in Nanliang and was from a high family, his family fell into decline in his grandfather's generation, and his grandfather's name has not yet been verified.
However, in his father's generation, although he was granted the title of Duke of Zengshan County, his official position was only the governor of Chuzhou. To be honest, most of the people who were awarded this title were Gaozu or Taizong who lamented the decline of their family and wanted to help.
When it came to Hao Chujun, he was praised by Gao Shilian at a young age. During the Zhenguan period, he was awarded the title of Jinshi and was awarded the title of Zuzuo Lang. It can be said that he was extremely prosperous.
There were many people who inherited the title of their fathers from the Zhenguan Dynasty, but Hao Chujun was one of the most outstanding ones.
His father was not awarded the title of Founding Duke. Hao Chujun's inheritance should have been reduced by one level to become the Marquis of Zengshan County, but it was not reduced and he was still the Duke of Zengshan County. This is amazing.
Not to mention that this guy has successively served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and now the Minister of Internal Affairs, the largest prime minister.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
On the steps, Li Xian was not in a hurry to return the salute. He walked in two hurried steps in front of Hao Chujun. After he was level with him, he raised his hands and returned the salute and said: "It turns out to be Hao Zhenshan. I heard your understanding of the "Han Shu". As the best in the world, I have studied Han Shu, but I still have many doubts and have not understood it. Now that I have met you today, I will definitely pay you a visit after the national funeral tomorrow, and I hope Hao Zengshan will not refuse!"
Facing King Yong's courtesy, Hao Chujun was just stunned for a moment, but he was relieved immediately.
If it were another prince, he might still suspect that Corporal Li Xian wanted something.
But facing King Yong, he really couldn't think of any evil thoughts.
King Yong liked learning in his early years and was praised by the emperor. Now even if he lowers his status, he still has to show courtesy. It seems that he is really greedy for his knowledge.
After confirming this, Hao Chujun laughed softly, stopped after a while, and stood up and said: "His Royal Highness King Yong is really straight to the point. Forget it, Wei Chen's home is in Changlefang. Your Highness has something to ask, so he sent his servants to summon me at my house. Yes. You are a prince, how dare I let you come to ask for advice!"
