Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 439

The big ship finally arrived at the ferry outside the capital of Shu. After the team landed, they boarded vehicles and entered the city of the capital of Shu.

The capital of Shu is named Chengdu, named after Qianqi, the king of Zhou, who lived in a gathering in one year, a town in two years, and Chengdu in three years, hence the name.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Chengdu was the capital of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor here as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, continuing the Han Dynasty.

By the end of the Five Dynasties, the capital of Shu was extremely prosperous. It was considered the largest city in the Bashu region.

Sitting in the car, Peng Qingqing couldn't help raising the curtains and looking at the street scene outside.

"It's comparable to the prosperity of Jinling City." Peng Qingqing looked excited and couldn't help feeling emotional.

People in the world think that Bashu is a remote place enclosed by mountains and rivers, and it must be backward in various ways. However, because of the mountains and rivers, there has been no war for 40 years.

The quality of life of the Shu people at this time was higher and more affluent than those in the Central Plains and Jiangnan.

All the vehicles stopped in front of the second prince's mansion.

Su Chen and Peng Qingqing got off the car, and were invited into the mansion by Meng Xuanyu himself.

"Guard Liang, take Mr. Chen and others to rest in the upper courtyard first, and His Highness wants to enter the palace first!"

Meng Xuanyu couldn't wait to enter the palace. Apart from reporting the gains of the Tang Dynasty from this accident, the most important thing was to persuade his father and king to win the imperial envoy position of the northern camp manager for himself.

"Yes!" Steward Liang bowed his hands in salute, and led the way politely.

The mansion is very large, with seven entrances and seven exits, and many other courtyards, beautiful gardens, small bridges and flowing water, lush and lush.

"The climate here feels stuffy and makes people feel uncomfortable!" Peng Qingqing said.

"This place is known as the Land of Abundance. The climate belongs to the basin climate. It's normal to be humid and hot, but it's also very nourishing. The girl from Sichuan is so beautiful!" Su Chen couldn't help smiling.

Peng Qingqing glared at him, and snorted, "Why, do you really want to find a concubine from Shu and take her back to Jiangnan?"

Su Chen said awkwardly: "I misunderstood, I just mentioned it casually, don't take it seriously!"

"Hey!" Jing Yun stood one zhang behind Su Chen, he was considered a close-knit book boy, seeing his master was being strictly controlled by Miss Peng, he couldn't help but snicker.

Peng Qingqing glanced at Jing Yun, and said: "Don't learn from your son! From now on, you will find a woman you love, marry her, and treat her wholeheartedly. Don't be half-hearted, wives and concubines will be in groups."

Jing Yun didn't dare to refute, nodded his head, and muttered, "I don't have money or skills, so I can't marry so many..."

Su Chen and Peng Qingqing came to the upper courtyard of the Wangfu. The layout here is ingenious. There are artificial ponds, lake pavilions, curved bridges lying on the waves, and the scenery is elegant.

About an hour and a half later, Meng Xuanyu rushed back to the residence and went straight to Su Chen's other courtyard.

Seeing the second prince come back, Su Chen asked: "What's the matter, did your father agree to make you an imperial envoy?"

Meng Xuanyu's face was a bit happy, he nodded slightly, and said: "I have promised. My highness made the most important points. I did not hesitate to write down the military order, vowing to resist the Song army from passing through the Jianmen pass. I moved my father, as well as the court's political affairs hall, The officials of the various factions of the Privy Council put aside their prejudices and supported His Highness’s request. As the supervisor and imperial envoy of the North Road March, although they do not have military power, they have the power to supervise the front-line generals.”

Su Chen smiled lightly, and he could get all the factions to agree, as long as this thankless job didn't involve military power or transportation power.It can be said that the imperial envoys have no real power and cannot control the soldiers, horses and supplies by themselves, but they can supervise the actions of various commanders.

The prince's party, the other prince's parties, etc. must feel that the second child has no intention of seizing power, but is only dedicated to serving the country!When the country is in crisis, they also know that people from the royal family need to go to the front to supervise and motivate the border guards so that the country can be guarded firmly.

Therefore, everyone feels that the second prince Meng Xuanyu made a bad move this time. Once the front line loses, he will issue a military order. At that time, the second prince will hardly be able to absolve himself of the blame. I am afraid that even if he can escape death at that time, he will have to be cut off from the county. The title of king, demoted to common people.

Su Chen's eyes moved, and he couldn't help but praise him: "Your Highness is very ruthless, don't give yourself any room."

Meng Xuanyu smiled bitterly and said, "Is there any room left for the Kingdom of Shu? If Jianmen Pass is lost, the country will lose the country, and my personal honor, whether it survives or not, is not important."

"That's the truth!" Su Chen could understand what he meant.

"You know, on the way back from Sanchao, a few officials and counselors attached to His Highness all said that I made a bad move, that the war in the north cannot be touched, and it is thankless!" Meng Xuanyu sighed quietly.

"Haha, I think so too! But you have to go, and drag me!" Su Chen laughed, blaming him for dragging himself to suffer, facing the danger at the border.

"Brother Chen, if the Kingdom of Shu can be saved this time, and the Song army can be repelled, I can give away all the gold and taels! Moreover, in the future, the business of your Su family and the Bai family will be fully protected by the land of Shu, so that the Bai family The bluish-white porcelains are selling like hot cakes, so how about a lot of money?" Meng Xuanyu began to lure.

He has stayed with Su Chen for a long time, and he also understands that the other party pays attention to practical use. Although he is the number one talented person in Jiangzuo, he has never been arrogant and respects money!

If you want Su Chen to do his best to help, you still have to generously bring up such vulgar things as gold and silver.

"This... I am not a person who loves money, but the Second Prince's generosity is admirable. I must not disappoint His Highness's sincerity!"

What Su Chen said was open and aboveboard, even righteous.

A black line almost appeared on Meng Xuanyu's forehead, this Su Chen... really saw him right!
Su Chen thought of another thing, and said curiously: "Your Highness, I heard from Wei Ying on the way that the second prince's mansion has trained several sword maids, all of whom are beauties. Apart from being good at martial arts, they are also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Proficient, the best among them will be the oiran in Jinling City, presumably the rest of them will be no different. Let them show up at the dinner party and show off their talents!"

When Meng Xuanyu heard this, it was no longer a matter of taking black lines, but staring at him fiercely with eyes like knives.

Su Chen was a little puzzled: "It's better to have fun alone than to have fun with others. Your Highness won't be so picky, right? Let's perform a show and not let the attendants sleep!"

"Ahem!" Weiying almost burst out laughing after hearing this.

The sword maids were all cold and aloof, and they were the only ones who obeyed the second prince's words. They were the maids he had trained for ten years and grew up with, and they were definitely not ordinary maids or mother-in-law.

Meng Xuanyu snorted and said, "Brother Chen, the Bashu Kingdom is in danger and will perish at any time, can you pay attention to it and put your mind on defending against the enemy?!"

Fuck me... Appreciate the maids, dance at the dinner party, face the national crisis, is there any need to contact the enemy's gate?
Su Chen shook his head, thinking that he was not interesting enough.

"It's stingy!" Su Chen also snorted softly.

At this time, Peng Qingqing finished admiring the lotus from the curved bridge, and Yingying came over.

Meng Xuanyu turned around, and said politely to Peng Qingqing directly: "Mr. Peng, brother Chen insists on having some of His Highness's personal sword maids show up at the dinner party. They are all very charming. I wonder if Mr. Peng would also like to watch it? "

Hearing this, Peng Qingqing was naturally a little wary, and looked at Su Chen angrily.

Su Chen unceremoniously changed his words and said with a smile: "Haha, I misunderstood, I was just hearing it from hearsay, Second Highness Jin Nestang Jiao, there are several maids with great martial arts skills, just ask casually, there is absolutely no other meaning!"

"That's about the same!" Peng Qingqing nodded, and after hearing his explanation, she showed a faint smile.

Meng Xuanyu looked at Su Chen with a vaguely complacent smile.
