Xingyuan is located in thatched cottage, which used to be the first academy in Yunshan Mansion, where students study, so it is naturally quiet. There are no shops near thatched cottage, not only is it not prosperous, but it is also very quiet.

After the newly built Caotang Academy, the Caotang other courtyard has also been renovated, from the academy to the Xingyuan, which is specially used to receive important officials in Beijing. This courtyard has now been renovated into an elegant and exquisite garden building, full of rockery, corridors, Fish ponds, exotic flowers and trees are divided into outer courtyard, central hall and inner courtyard.

Although it was dark, lanterns had been lit everywhere in the other courtyard, and there were lights shining in the pavilions, pavilions, corridors and small courtyards, which looked very bright and gorgeous.

When Xu Congyang came this time, there were hundreds of people, not a small number. Fortunately, the thatched cottage is really spacious, which is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Naturally, Xu Congyang was arranged in the most central and elegant inner courtyard.

Although Qiao Mingtang knew that Xu Congyang was an upright and honest official and didn't like luxury, he still arranged some maids and cooks inside to serve him with all his might, and these maids and cooks were all transferred from the Governor's Mansion, and they were from Qiao Mingtang's mansion. , can be trusted.When Xu Congyang came to Yunshan Mansion, if something went wrong, the first one to be unlucky would be Governor Qiao Mingtang, so Qiao Mingtang was very concerned about the security work of the thatched cottage.

The officials originally followed into the city and were going to be sent to the thatched cottage, but Xu Congyang ordered them to leave on the way, so all the officials had to disperse, and only Qiao Mingtang followed them all the way to Xingyuan.

When they arrived at the Thatched Cottage, the soldiers of the Twelve Guards immediately deployed their defenses to guard the Thatched Cottage. Guards were arranged at every door, and soldiers patrolled.

Ten Shenyi Guards patrolled and guarded the interior of the Cottage, and the imperial guards under Ruoyunshan Mansion Wei Tianqing were responsible for blocking the roads around the Cottage and setting up roadblocks to prevent unruly people from approaching .

At this time, Chu Huan also deployed the defense of the road.

The carriage did not stop outside the shaft, but directly entered the other courtyard, and the carriage stopped only when it was inside. Qiao Mingtang followed into the courtyard, and when he saw the carriage stopped, he turned over and got off the horse.

Xu Congyang got out of the carriage first, and Shen Jing, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple of the blue-clothed government, immediately bowed and trot to the side of the carriage in the middle after getting out of the carriage, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, we have arrived at Xingyuan!"

At this time, Qiao Mingtang also stepped forward quickly, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Qiao Mingtang, Governor of Xishan Road, sees His Royal Highness King Qi!"

A Shenyiwei Baihu beside the carriage had already stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage. There was silence in the carriage, but there was no response. Xu Congyang frowned, walked over, looked into the carriage, and saw a The noble young master in a bright yellow brocade coat and a white fox fur was lying on the carriage seat, which was covered with a warm blanket. The noble young master was lying in it, sleeping soundly, in the carriage , There are actually two empty wine jars, it seems that he fell asleep after being drunk.

"Your Highness, we've arrived!" Xu Congyang said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please get out of the car!"

Although he was old, he was full of spirit. Although he was speaking to the noble young master inside, his voice was full of majesty. As soon as he finished speaking, the noble young master inside opened his eyes in a daze and sat up.

He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was not handsome, but he was very good-looking, with thick eyebrows, thick lips, fair skin, and he looked like a nobleman from a wealthy family.

He opened his eyes in a daze, but those eyes were very clear. He vaguely saw Xu Congyang standing in front of the carriage and staring at him. The young nobleman became serious and said hurriedly, "Teacher, we... have we arrived yet? where is it?"

Shen Jing has already said respectfully: "Your Highness, you have already entered Yunshan Mansion City, and now you are in Xingyuan!"

The young master raised his hands and rubbed his face, then he got out of the carriage, and said with a smile, "Before I went to bed, I was still several tens of miles away from Yunshan Mansion. Now that I wake up, I have already arrived at Xingyuan, so the time passed really quickly." When he got out of the carriage, he showed his temperament.

He was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, with a red jade belt around his waist, a top-quality jade pendant, and a yellow round cap on his head. He looked extraordinary.

Qiao Mingtang knelt by the side of the carriage, and said again at this time: "Qiao Mingtang, Governor of the Chenxi Mountain Road, sees His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Your son King Qi saw Qiao Mingtang at this time, and said with a smile: "Governor Qiao got up, the teacher taught me to follow the truth and discard the false in everything. When there are many people, I will do these false rituals. There are not many people now, so there is no need to be so rigid. gone."

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly said: "Your Highness is an honorable person, and my ministers are His Highness's ministers. Courtesy cannot be discarded!"

King Qi raised his hand and said: "This king knows that you will all be like this. Forget it, get up." He said to Xu Congyang: "Teacher, it's been a hard journey, why don't you take a break first, what business do you have, and deal with it later?"

Xu Congyang said: "Your Highness, Governor Qiao happened to be here today, and I am going to ask Governor Qiao about some official matters. Your Highness is tired all the way, so you can rest first!"

King Qi shook his head and said with a smile, "I've had enough rest. It's just that I've been in Beijing for too long. This time I can come out with my teacher to get some fresh air. Naturally, I should cherish it."

Xu Congyang said solemnly: "Your Highness, no matter where you are, you should remember your identity. You said in Beijing that you came out this time to see the people's sentiments, and you should know what you saw along the way. It's just that Your safety is the number one priority, Your Highness, please don't make any arbitrariness to leave this place, just in case!"

King Qi frowned and said: "Teacher, isn't this Yunshan Mansion still safe, and there will be rebellious parties?"

Qiao Mingtang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the Yunshan Mansion is heavily guarded and there is absolutely no chaotic party!"

Xu Congyang said: "No one is perfect, and neither is a city perfect. It doesn't mean that there are rebellious parties in Yunshan Prefecture, but you must be careful in everything." He asked Qiao Mingtang: "Governor Qiao, Your Highness is here. Did you tell anyone else?"

Qiao Mingtang immediately said: "The lower official received the secret letter and knew that His Highness was coming, so he dared not mention it to anyone, lest another disturbance be caused."

Xu Congyang nodded and said, "That's great. No matter whether they already know the news or not, it's better not to make it public."

King Qi sighed, and said: "The capital is a big cage, so it's possible that when you arrive at Yunshan Mansion, you still have to be locked in this small cage?"

Xu Congyang frowned and said, "Your Highness is unwilling to stay here?"

King Qi hurriedly laughed and said: "The teacher misunderstood, the students are just talking. In fact, this place is elegant and unique, very quiet. It is also an excellent place to study and practice martial arts here."

Xu Congyang said solemnly: "You still have a few volumes of "Qi Min Lun" that you haven't read. Read more in the next few days. I will ask His Highness for advice at any time. Please don't let the old minister down!"

King Qi hurriedly laughed and said: "Teacher, don't you have business discussions with Governor Qiao? The students will not delay you." He shouted: "Sun Desheng, order to go down and prepare some snacks. The teacher will use it when discussing matters!"

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, as soon as the food and drink are spent, I have already sent someone to make arrangements. Your Highness will take a bath, and someone will prepare the meal."

King Qi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you go, teacher, don't worry, the students will study hard and won't let you down!"

Xu Congyang cupped his hands and said: "The old minister will leave first." He took Qiao Mingtang down, saw the two figures leaving, King Qi showed a sly smile on his face, and hurriedly said: "Sun Desheng, you bastard, you can kill Que'er ? If it loses its breath, this king will bury you and its corpse together."

A follower had already come out from the side, in his early thirties, with a white face and beardless, bowed his body, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, look, it is still alive. Your Highness, you don't know, this journey scared the servant to death. If the Grand Scholars see us hiding the sparrows, we will definitely kill this servant!"

This man spoke in a high-pitched voice, without a trace of beard around his lips, he was obviously an accompanying eunuch, but his eyes were very flexible, and he seemed to be a smart person.

He had already taken out a birdcage furtively from behind. King Qi smiled when he saw the birdcage, took it, held it in his hand, and whistled at the bird inside, but the bird was Sleepy and lifeless.

"What's going on?" King Qi saw that Que'er didn't respond, just stayed in the cage blankly, and was anxious and annoyed at once: "Sun Desheng, is it going to die? Why doesn't it speak?"

Cold sweat broke out on Sun Desheng's forehead, he bowed his body and said: "Your Highness, you haven't asked it to speak, how dare it speak!"

King Qi said to the sparrow: "This king told you to speak, speak quickly!"

That bird looked at King Qi resentfully, but still didn't say a word.

Sun Desheng was in a hurry, worried that King Qi was going to lose his temper again, so he hurriedly approached the bird, thinking that the sparrow said viciously: "Speak quickly, if you don't speak, His Highness will order your bird's head to be beheaded!"

King Qi couldn't help but said: "You bastard, does he understand what you mean?"

At this moment, Que'er suddenly said: "You bastard, does he understand what you mean?" King Qi burst out laughing when he heard it. Heaving a sigh of relief, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"By the way, where does this king live?" King Qi handed the bird cage to Sun Desheng.

The Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, Shen Jing, who had been standing by the side, hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Governor Qiao just said that it is right there, and I will serve His Highness over there."

King Qi didn't seem to have a good impression of Shen Jing, and said: "You don't need to bring it. You can find the place by yourself. That's right, you will preside over the imperial wine selection. You should do your job well and choose a good wine." Come!"

Shen Jing hurriedly said: "If I dare not try my best, I will definitely do my job, select good wine, and serve the Holy One!" Not far away, he pointed: "Your Highness, you can rest there!"

King Qi nodded, Sun Desheng had already led the way, and the two hundred households had already ordered the eight guards under him to check around in the courtyard, and the two of them followed King Qi.

King Qi frowned when he saw the two men closely following him, and waved his hands: "Li Maotu, Feng Wuma, you two have worked hard all the way, go down and rest first, you don't have to follow me!"

Shenyiwei has a total of [-] hundred households, but they do not show their real names, or they have lost their own names since becoming a hundred households.

The twelve hundred households will have corresponding code names, and the code names are their names. Li Maotu and Feng Wuma are two of the code names. Now these two people represent this code name, but if one day they are no longer the hundred If the account or death, then these two code names will be filled up by others, and there will be new Li Maotu and Feng Wuma.
