Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 402 Touring Tangquan Palace
From Chang'an to Gaochang County, Xizhou, Anxi Dufu Prefecture, it is 510 miles away.

Even if the road is familiar and there is no need to wait for the servants, it will take at least three or four months on the road.

If it was not a last resort, Fan Zheng would not want to spend time on the boring march, so he would not take the initiative to go.

Surprisingly, Cheng Chumo, the general of Zuowei's relative Youlang, went out with Yang Hongli.

Cheng Yaojin was stubborn as always: "The son of the old Cheng family should fight the enemy and fight for his own future!"

This duplicity made Niu Jinda and Wu Heita laugh for a long time.

Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde arranged for their offspring to abandon martial arts and follow civil affairs, and follow the route of civil servants.

Even if you want to take a military position, it should be as much as possible for the logistics, rather than going to the battlefield to fight.

They have fought bloody battles for many years, isn't it the idea that their children don't have to bleed anymore?
Even the emperor can't say that their ideas must be inappropriate.

It's just that it's fine for Cheng Chuliang to be Princess Qinghe's son-in-law, and he was also canonized as the Duke of Dong'e County.

In terms of martial arts, Cheng Chumo is of course not as good as Cheng Yaojin, but his first hand, Ma Qian, is considered among the younger generation.

It is impossible to compare with Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui's Ma Qian is not inferior to Cheng Yaojin, and he focuses on a family with profound knowledge.

Anyway, Cheng Chumo's Dalang can be scoured all over the place, so he doesn't have to worry about blood issues.

Besides, the five concubines can spread their branches as much as they want, so what else is there to be afraid of Cheng Chumo?

Apart from telling Tie Xiaozhuang to be extra careful, Fan Zheng could only wink at Fan Sheng.

Wars are rarely suppressed by one side, and even if there is a huge disparity in strength, it may cause losses to the stronger side.
-
Went to Mount Li, took a quick look at the Tangquan Palace, and Fan Zheng tasted the peaches, plums and cold melons offered by Li Zhengzheng, the supervisor of the hot spring.

With geothermal resources, the harvest period of melons and fruits here is longer. Although it is not as good as the off-season of later generations, it is also a bit like that.

The cold melon is sweet enough and watery enough, but not sandy enough. In addition to the variety, it is also related to the abundant water resources of Tangquan Palace.

Li Zhengzhi put a small basket of cold melons with a wink, there were only three in total, and he kept saying that they were for Shi Lang to taste.

Fan Zheng wasn't hypocritical, Yeniang's wife and children could have a good time, even in front of the emperor and prince, he didn't have any fear, just take what he needed.

"Since Shangguan came to Tangquan Palace, why didn't he soak in warm soup to relieve his fatigue?" Li Zhengzhi was relatively less rigid.

The entire Tangquan Palace is not only enjoyed by the emperor, even the common people also have an area to enjoy, and courtiers like Fan Zheng also have an area to enjoy.

In the eastern district, the east of Jinyang Gate is called Yaoguang Tower, and there is Xiaotang in the south. It is recorded that the south of Yaoguang Tower is forbidden.

There is a pear garden in the west of Xiaotang, where there are [-] disciples of prostitutes and [-] maids of the Xuanzong Ministry of Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is called the disciples of the emperor's pear garden, and it is also the originator of the "disciples of the pear garden" in the world.

Feishuang Hall in the south of Yaoguang Tower is the sleeping hall.

The Yutang Nine Dragon Hall in the south of Feishuang Hall was built during the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which is not available now.

Your Excellency Xu's hot spring is actually not bad, but Fan Zheng directly refused.

The melon field does not accept the shoes, and the Li Xia does not complete the title.

In the Central District, Prince Edward Soup, Shaoyang Soup, Shangshi Soup, and Yichun Soup are named after the Eastern Palace.

In the West District, there are sixteen long soups, which are imperial soups given to concubines by the emperor; Furong soup, also known as Haitang soup, was given to Yang Guifei by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty for bathing.

The warm soup that the common people often bathed in was actually outside the palace walls, and there were endless people soaking in the soup, and Fan Zheng didn't want to squeeze it.

It's not about self-esteem, it's just about quietness.

Without the emperor's command, a courtier like Fan Zheng would have a lot more taboos than the common people, so it's worth noting that he doesn't want to soak in warm soup.

On the west side of the palace is the Wangjing Gate, outside the gate there is a viewing platform, and to the north is a watermelon garden. Wang Jianfu, a poet of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, wrote "Huaqing Palace": "The inner garden is divided into warm water, and melons have been in in mid-February."

Wang Jian, who was active from Tang Dynasty to Tang Wenzong period, focused on two fields of poetry and prose, folk suffering and palace scenery.

"Describing the palace towers, early court ceremonies, festival scenery, and the king's entertainment and hunting, the singing and dancing of kabuki and musicians, the life of court ladies and various trivial matters in the palace ban are like pictures of customs. Important information for life."

The familiar phrase "wash your hands and make soup" comes from his hands.

"Are the funds allocated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs sufficient for use?"

From Shaoqing's point of view, Fan Zheng was concerned about the cost of Tangquan Palace.

Li Zhengzhi smiled and said, "Money is not enough! You can use more, and you can use less, but it is much more relaxed than before. If you work hard, you can make up for the gap."

That's the reason.

After Fan Zheng ate the cold melon, he washed his hands and wiped his mouth, and carefully inspected all the palace walls, looking for any hidden dangers.

Frankly speaking, it's very boring. Since Tangquan Palace and Jiucheng Palace are "palaces", why should they hang on the head of Sinong Temple?
Just because it can grow melons and fruits?
Lol, which palace do you think cannot grow melons and fruits?
"Here, pay attention, there is an open area outside the dazzling wall, where soldiers can be used. It should be a place for the emperor to perform martial arts, but we must guard against Xiaoxiao approaching."

"Jiucheng Palace violated the palace case, but the hot spring soup supervisor must take it as a warning. If His Majesty is disturbed, the future of Tangquan Palace will be worrying."

It is only sixty miles away from Chang'an City, which is equivalent to being at the gate of the capital. If something bad happens, the entire court will lose face.

As for the others, it's hard to say too much. After all, the status of the hot spring soup supervisor and Jiucheng Palace director Yu Sinong Temple is more like affiliation.

Li Zhengzheng crossed his hands: "Lishan soup is today, thanks to Shaoqing's frank words, Shaoqing's virtue will be remembered in the prison."

Fan Zheng waved his hand: "It coincides with the meeting, His Majesty is only interested in repairing the Lishan Tang, not the merit of this official."

Although Tangquan Palace is close, there are still ten vehicles in reserve.

Except for the back-time Yamen at Yushitai, all divisions have transport vehicles.

If there are backup carts, there will naturally be official slaves who raise mules and horses.

Fan Zheng glanced at the official slave, covering the left side of his upper skirt.

"Left lapel?"

Although Datang also likes Hu Fu, he will not make mistakes on the left lap and right lap.

According to the customs of the Han people, the right side of the skirt is covered, because the Qin and Han Dynasties and before the right side are respected, only the left side is worn when the deceased is buried.

From Hu to Han, they gradually followed this rule.

Fanbang's custom is just the opposite, wearing the left lapel.

Yan Shigu's note: "The right lapel is also Chinese."

Therefore, if the Fanbang people do not deliberately conceal their identities, they can be identified at a glance from the direction of the skirt.

Li Zhengzhi smiled and said: "Exactly, this Turkic slave has a way of domesticating livestock, and the mules and horses are extremely docile."

Fan Zheng shook his head slightly: "If you don't want to repeat the story of Jiucheng Palace, it's better to change it to a Tang family."

I might be too cautious, but people live in the world, there are pits everywhere, if you accidentally fill up the pits you can see, are you waiting for the day when you sprain your feet?
Li Zhengzhi's smile froze for a moment before he nodded in agreement.

Hey, this Turkic slave has already used it smoothly!
