Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 106 The minister pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince! [Gift to the Silver Leader Ellipsis Sixteen] Please recommend and ask for a monthly pass!
Qinzhou Fucheng.

The Song family mansion is located in the east of the city, where the rich and powerful gather together, and it can be called the "heart of Qinzhou".

Outside the three rooms and one open door, there are two Zhang Gao lions silently, with angry eyes and fangs exposed, majestic and breathtaking.

When I looked up, I saw a gold-plated red sandalwood plaque engraved with the word "Song Mansion", hanging on the majestic mansion gate, with gold characters in seal script, shining brightly.

Leaping over the gate of the mansion, you can see the floating picture screen wall made of Nanchu Qinggang rock. The patterns of flowers, birds, animals and insects are luxuriant on it, which is magnificent. , the sun and the moon shrouded in brilliance, and the dazzling light flashed away.

Moving the line of sight upwards, overlooking the Song Mansion from a low altitude, one can see this huge mansion measuring 150 feet from north to south and [-] feet from east to west, covering an area of ​​nearly [-] mu.

Inside, the pavilions stand majestically, with carved beams and painted buildings, the courtyard is winding and deep, the green pool is quiet and clear, the rockery, stone waterfall, and the flying stream are murmuring, just like streams.

Under the green bricks and green tiles, the corners of the eaves are flying up, and the intrigue is even more engraved and set up. Occasionally, swallows and birds will pass by, and then disappear into nothingness.

You can know the whole picture from a glimpse, although you don't know what's inside, you can know a thing or two about the luxury of the owner of this mansion.

When Xia Houchun and the others walked outside the Song Mansion, even Murong Yan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, this mansion is much more grand than her one in Dongdu.

Fang Xirou commented: "The Crescent River is winding like a dragon, and the Qinshui looks like a tiger from a distance. Even the palace will not let it go."

The mansion is driven by the crane bridge, and the Tianmen is closed and the luan is descended.

The chaotic banners turn to cloud trees, and the scattered terraces and pavilions enter the misty sky.

Xia Houchun's face was calm, he raised his eyes and glanced under the patterns on the corner of the eaves, after the hidden inspiration fluctuated, he said slowly: "Unexpectedly, in this small city of Qinzhou, there is actually a duke of the state hiding with him." Wang with a different surname really surprised me."

Fang Xirou turned around in surprise, "You don't even know this one?"

On the side, Yang Zhong smoothed things over for Xia Houchun, and he opened his thick lips and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is understandable for not knowing this person, because this palace was not built by me, Dajing, nor that Xi The mansion of Song Jiangwang."

Murong Yan's eyes were stunned, and there seemed to be a trace of reminiscence in her eyes. She nodded and said softly: "Yes, this mansion used to be the mansion of Liu Yuanting, the former Minister of Yan. Everyone.

But this person was a first-class official, once an official to the former Yandongge University scholar, his power was comparable to the prime minister, and his power was unparalleled for a while, so this person's residence was far beyond the standard of an ordinary palace. However, with the collapse of Qianyan, his person also disappeared. "

She shifted her gaze, and glanced at the Song Mansion, "Later, this house has been tossed and turned several times, and I don't know when it fell into the hands of the Song family."

Xia Houchun glanced at this deep house compound, there seemed to be a few renovations and repairs, presumably damaged by the war, but repaired by the Song family.

Fang Xirou looked around, and said with a pursed mouth: "The Song family chose a good mansion. It is close to the Qinjiang River, but it is backed by the high wall of the mansion. , you won't get any benefits if you force your way in."

Xia Houchun smiled lightly, "So, I'm going to return empty-handed this time?"

Fang Xirou snorted softly, "If you want to rely on those garrisons outside the city to break through this, I'm afraid it's just a daydream."

Xia Houchun glanced at her, and said softly, "Who said I was going to attack and kill the Song family?"

Fang Xirou frowned, "Could it be that you really plan to come to apologize?"

Xia Houchun directly turned his horse's head and walked towards the seat of the state government office, Yang Zhong and Ding Zhongyin followed closely.

Murong Yan pondered for a while, falling into deep thought.

The masked man snorted coldly, "Playing tricks."

Murong Yan glanced at the government office, she seemed to have realized something.

"You stop!"

Fang Xirou was furious, and chased after Xia Houchun, asking, "If you don't fight and don't make amends, what exactly do you want?"

Xia Houchun said leisurely: "What is the status of this palace, how can I apologize to him, the Song family?"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Commander Song beside him, and grinned: "Commander Song, do you think so?"

That person was the leader of the Song family who had led a hundred cavalry to "eliminate thieves and bandits" outside the Qinshui Book Hall.

Strictly speaking, his surname is not Song, but his real name and surname are Yan. He was given a surname because of his contribution to the Song family. He was also proud of it and was complacent about it, so he often led his cavalry to help those young masters of the Song family bully men. Female.

Yan Xucheng remained silent.

While Fang Xirou was messing around, Xia Houchun rode his horse and came outside the Qinzhou government office.

After passing through several busy streets, it turns into a grand main road.

The main road is paved with bluestone slabs with mottled patterns, stretching to the end of the long street. There are tall houses and deep mansions on both sides, all of which are hung with plaques from various Cao ministries of the state capital.

Pairs of armored soldiers patrolled the street without looking sideways, walking steadily, like elites.

Xia Houchun tilted his head and looked at Yang Zhong who kept his mouth shut, "How is it?"

After Yang Zhong was silent for a while, he said slowly: "The steps are neat and uniform, the queue is orderly, and the weapons and armor are of the highest quality. These generals are called 'armored soldiers', and they can almost fight with the soldiers of the army."

As the former right commander of the Habayashi Army, he can tell at a glance whether the soldiers are strong or weak.

Xia Houchun nodded lightly: "This is just a street guard. I don't know how powerful the Qinzhou City Defense Army is."

Murong Yan frowned slightly: "Then what is the meaning of His Highness just sending Commander Ding to garrison troops outside the city?"

Fang Xirou sneered, and rolled her eyes: "We've been traveling together for so long, don't you know that he's urinating, it's nothing more than bluffing, pulling the battle flag, and beating the battle drum."

Murong Yan naturally knew Xia Houchun's intentions, she said softly: "Your Highness is not afraid, if the Song family really has evil intentions, after learning that His Highness came alone, will he take the opportunity to blackmail him?"

Xia Houchun glanced back at her, and said with a smile, "You mean to say that you are afraid that they will take the opportunity to cut off the head of this item of this palace?"

The masked man said abruptly: "I know you are still acting so boldly, you are a fool if you die, and if you implicate my princess, even if you die a hundred times, you will not be able to atone for your sin."

Murong Yan pulled the masked man and asked her to restrain herself a bit, thanks to the fact that Lord Xia Houchun had a lot of people and never got to know them as well as they did along the way, otherwise this small team would have fallen out long ago.

He said in a low voice: "My Dajing law, if you want to deploy the garrison, you must, in addition to the central government's imperial edict, also need the permission of the prefect of a state, and then the town army governor will move the army out."

He smiled faintly: "And the current governor of Qinzhou is named Song Jing."

Fang Xirou was surprised, "Hey, could it be that you already knew about the Song family in Qinzhou?"

Xia Houchun shook his head, "Our governor of the Song Dynasty is not a child of the Song family in Qinzhou, but a member of the main line of the Song clan of the top ten families in Songzhou in Zhaozhong."

His eyes sighed, and he said softly: "He is also the only one among the Song Clan who has never crossed the south of the Yangtze River."

This matter also came to mind automatically after seeing the 'Song Mansion'.

After all, his predecessor was Prince Dajing, and he had participated in politics for many years, so he knew the top ten families well.

Murong Yan hesitated to speak, and said in a low voice: "Brother Shi, since this person is the main line of the Song Clan, he must be as close as a family to the Song Clan in Qinzhou. We are not afraid of being caught by him if we come here rashly on this trip?"

Glancing at the trembling Commander Song, Xia Houchun smiled, "There's no need to worry."

Xia Houchun stopped, stopped outside the government office gate, got off his horse, and attracted guards and soldiers with vigilant faces.

The soldier guarding the gate was about to be furious when he saw someone stopped outside the governor's mansion, but he saw that this kid didn't know how to play, and he dared to stay here.

He immediately stared and shouted: "Where is the boy, don't you know where this is?"

Xia Houchun clasped his fists and smiled, "Please tell me that Taikang Xia Chun is visiting Lord Inspector."

The soldier's face suddenly sank, and he said: "What is the identity of Lord Inspector, how can anyone just visit him?"

He waved his hand impatiently: "Go before the adults in the mansion notice you, don't get in the way, or you will offend all the adults, and you won't be offended."

Xia Houchun was about to speak again, but there was an unpleasant voice from behind the mansion door: "Who is making noise here?"

An official wearing a red robe and long gown came out with his hands behind his back, glanced at the door arrogantly, and said with a sneer, "Commander Wang, are you getting more and more courageous, and anyone dares to go to the door?" Fu Yafang? Do you still want to work here?"

His cold eyes swept over several soldiers outside the door, and they all changed color.

This grown-up has always been displeased with them, and today he finally found a chance.

The soldier's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down with a plop, "I also ask Lord Zhou to forgive me, it's a dereliction of duty, please don't blame the brothers, everything is the fault of my humble duty."

The rank of the commander named Wang Jin is only rank nine, and he can't compete with the rank five officials at all. They can let him strip off his clothes and leave with just a single order.

Mr. Zhou smiled, "Well, for Mr. Wang's sincere confession, the official can also forgive me, but I will see Miss Yun'er tonight."

Wang Jin's face trembled like a sieve, and he smiled miserably.

Master Zhou coveted Wang Jin's daughter for a long time, and repeatedly revealed that he wanted to include her in the concubine's room, but Wang Jin never agreed, so he became angry from embarrassment, and repeatedly tripped him up and made trouble.

He understood that today's catastrophe could not be escaped.

But at this moment, a faint voice sounded:

"He is not wrong, how can he admit his mistakes?"

Xia Houchun's eyes were flat, "What's more, marrying a civilian girl by force in such a large audience is a serious crime of beheading!"

Wang Jin looked up in a daze.

Master Zhou's face darkened, and he suddenly turned to look at the man.

Someone dared to spoil his good deeds, it was simply impatient to live.

He looked around and sternly said: "This person trespassed on the government office with evil intentions, why don't you take him down quickly?"

Xia Houchun glanced at the other party with a half-smile, "Take me down? Don't regret it."

That week the adults suddenly had a sudden thought, could it be that there is something wrong with him?
Immediately shouted to a soldier: "Where does this person come from?"

The soldier was already nervous, and after this outburst, he almost blurted out an answer:
"There is no background."

Master Zhou's face softened, and then he said angrily: "Since he is a troublemaker, why don't you drive him away?"

The soldier choked suddenly.

Unexpectedly, Master Zhou couldn't wait any longer, waved his hand impatiently and said: "Beat him away with a stick, and then send him to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and put him in a prison."

"Wait!!"

A mighty shout came from the mansion.

Xia Houchun smiled lightly, "Here we come."

As soon as the voice fell, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

I saw a middle-aged man with long beard walking out quickly from the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion.

He has a broad forehead and high nose, thick and narrow lips, but his body is slightly thin, and there is gloom and irritability hidden between his brows.

But after seeing Xia Houchun, he was overjoyed and flattered.

"My lord!" That Master Zhou's countenance changed, and he bowed in a flustered manner.

However, the middle-aged man didn't pay attention to Master Zhou, he waved his hand hastily, then ran to Xia Houchun, bowed down and said:
"My minister Song Jing pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness?" Master Zhou trembled when he heard this.

With a plop, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

It’s over.
