Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2617 Exploring Secrets
The empty mountain is misty, the birds are chirping, and the yellowed leaves stretch quietly in the morning light, just like a beautiful picture scroll that is not stained with human fireworks.

Fang Jun was wearing a blue straight gown. He took a walk in the garden for a while, moved his hands and feet, and breathed the cool air.

It's just that the current tense situation makes him a little helpless. In order to prevent the Guanlong nobles from taking risks, as soon as he walks out of the room, there will be a few personal soldiers following him to protect his safety. This made him even have to stop his habit of running in the morning.

People in the secular world, drifting with the tide, are also quite helpless.

After taking a walk in the garden for a while, returning to the main hall, Princess Gaoyang and Xiao Shu'er had finished grooming, had breakfast in peace, and then accompanied their wives and concubines to wander around the Jiucheng Palace.

It was still because he was worried that someone would assassinate him secretly, so he just walked around the residence at random, and then returned to the residence.

The entire Jiucheng Palace is built on the mountain, hidden in the mountains and forests, isolated from the world of mortals and away from the hustle and bustle, no matter how impetuous the mood is, you can calm down, even if you just sit in front of the window with a chair and watch the forests, palaces and pavilions , Listening to the rustling of the leaves in the breeze blowing by the ears, there is also a kind of peace and joy that can break through the world of mortals.

It was not until noon that Fang Jun bid farewell to his wife and concubines, and led a team of imperial guards to the Great Treasure Hall on the bluestone-paved mountain road to meet Wang Fulai, the director of Jiucheng Palace.

The Great Treasure Hall is the main hall of the Jiucheng Palace. The cornices and horns are majestic and majestic. It forms a huge palace group with the nearby palaces. The magnificent palaces and pavilions are row upon row. Except that it is not as majestic as the Taiji Palace, it is even more luxurious. Nothing less than that, no wonder it was able to become the first imperial palace in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In the history books, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was always a frugal and simple emperor. It is hard to imagine why he built such a luxurious palace here.

However, history is always hidden behind dust, and future generations will probably never know the truth...

Arriving at the gate of the Great Treasure Hall, Liberty's servant hurriedly went to inform Wang Fulai, and the latter trotted out from the side hall, the wrinkles on his face were all smiles, and carefully led Fang Jun into the side hall.

Now there are many forces in the court, but no matter how you look at it, Fang Jun is the one with the most potential.Not to mention His Majesty's trust and trust in him today, just the close relationship with the Crown Prince is enough to ensure that he will stand on top of the court for decades in the future.

Don't talk about the topic of easy storage, at least the crown prince is still the prince of the Tang Dynasty at the moment. He thinks that his generous and benevolent character is supported by countless ministers. To be deposed arbitrarily?

That would cause chaos in the world.

So in the eyes of many people, although the position of the prince will be challenged, the future is bright...

Naturally, Wang Fulai could not live in the Great Treasure Hall. This is a side hall, located under the steps on the east side of the Great Treasure Hall, surrounded by gardens at the front and back. Many mansions in Chang'an City are of a higher grade.

Wang Fulai invited Fang Jun to the main hall, a table had already been set up with food and wine, he sat beside Fang Jun, and said with a smile: "The slaves are poor, I prepared a few dishes, Fang Shaobao laughed at me."

Who in the world doesn't know that Fang Junfu is an enemy?Ordinary people invite him to eat and drink, the pressure is really not small, it takes a long time to prepare the dishes and drinks, and it is a trivial matter if he laughs at it.

Fang Jun rolled up his sleeves, and said casually: "The so-called drinking with a bosom friend is less than a thousand glasses. The most important thing in drinking is who you drink with and what you say. As for what food you eat and what wine you drink, it doesn't matter. It’s important. With our identity, what delicacies in this world have never been tasted? As long as the atmosphere is right, even a small restaurant on the street will be delicious.”

Wang Fulai was so excited that his face turned red, and he thought to himself, look at Fang Er, this is the real famous official!

Those princes and grandsons, dignitaries and dignitaries usually talk about their ostentation, extravagance and desire to be crowned with monkeys, but they don't know that the real nobles of others are the ones who show their true interest in the plain, pay attention to a realm, an atmosphere, and blind pursuit Fine wine and delicious food are inferior.

Wang Fulai drove out all the young eunuchs, leaving only two people. He personally filled the pot with wine, pointed to a roasted mussel leg on the table that was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and said: It is made of wood and built in the mountains and forests, so it is the most taboo to catch fire, so the servant girl ordered people to take the muntjac legs to the bank of Dushui outside the palace gate at the foot of the mountain early in the morning, and bake them with the secret method of the imperial dining room in the palace. , and sent it back as soon as it was baked, just in time for Fang Shaobao to arrive, you are a lucky person!"

Fang Jun had the best game, and he was not polite at the moment. He picked up the small silver knife on the table and cut a piece of muntjac meat, dipped it in a little white fine salt, put it in his mouth and chewed a few mouthfuls. He felt that the meat was tender and full of flavor. , During chewing, there is oil oozing out and remaining in the mouth, and the aroma becomes more and more fragrant. He raised the wine glass to give a slight signal, and drank it all in one gulp.

The aroma of wine and meat mixed in his mouth, making Fang Jun swallow it carefully, and praised, "It's really delicious!"

Wang Fulai was very happy to see that Fang Jun had no airs, and he had the unrestrained style of a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties with a broad robe and a loose belt, so he raised his glass to accompany him.

One of the two harbored evil intentions, and the other deliberately made friends and tried to flatter them. Naturally, the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.

After drinking a few cups, Fang Jun asked casually: "Director Wang is in his prime, but he lives in this [-]% palace. Isn't it a bit of a shame? Or should I talk to Director Wang De more and let him find an opportunity to recruit you?" To be transferred to the palace, at least you have to be transferred to a prince's mansion."

Eunuchs have no heirs, so the control of power is extremely important. No matter how well the ninety percent palace is built, it is only a palace. If it is not by the emperor's side, how can there be any power at all?If he had no power at this time, he couldn't cultivate a few close eunuchs to take over his class. In the future, he would grow old and frail, and he might not even have a single person around him to serve him wholeheartedly.

That's a bleak evening scene...

Wang Fulai didn't look depressed and lonely, instead he smiled, looked at the door, and then turned around and said in a low voice: "Fang Shaobao doesn't know anything, don't look at the servant, the director seems to be just an idler, but I'm afraid Times will come and go in the future.”

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Fang Jun became curious and asked.

Wang Fulai intended to make friends with Fang Jun, but he also knew that there were some things that he could not tell the whole story, so he said vaguely: "For outsiders, this Jiucheng Palace seems to be just an isolated palace. Your Majesty and the nobles come here to stay for a few days when they have nothing to do. But now, there is an important place in this palace, and people who are not close to His Majesty will never know about it."

Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he asked: "What's so important, that it's actually hidden in Jiucheng Palace?"

But Wang Fulai laughed, he talked about him from left to right, and refused to say any more.

Fang Jun knew that this must be an extremely secret matter, and it was even very possible that it was the reason why His Majesty came to Jiucheng Palace in a hurry yesterday, but left in a hurry...

However, he also knew that Wang Fulai would not say more about such a secret that even Wang De secretly sent a letter to himself. You can only be beaten to death with sticks, and you can't even catch poisoned wine...

But Fang Jun is not in a hurry. Although Wang Fulai is cautious, he is obviously not a resolute person. Since he can reveal his tone, if he tries slowly, he must be able to reveal his true face.

He was very patient, so he made the mistake of not mentioning this matter, and chatted all over the world.

He is naturally eloquent and knowledgeable, but unexpectedly, Wang Fulai is not an idiot, he has read a few books, and his knowledge and understanding are far beyond ordinary people.

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried in from the outside and saluted: "Director, His Royal Highness King Jing is here, and he has already arrived at the door."

Wang Fulai was taken aback, what is he doing here?
Although he was in the Jiucheng Palace, he never missed any news in Chang'an City. Naturally, he knew that Fang Jun and King Jing didn't like each other.
Quickly got up and said to Fang Jun: "Fang Shaobao will wait for the slaves to go and have a look, and I will return later."

He wanted to send King Jing away, but he didn't expect that as soon as the words fell, someone walked in slowly at the door, and said in a strange way: "What's the matter, the wine of your director Wang is so rare, the crown prince Shaobao can drink it, but I, the prince, can't drink it." ?”
