palm order

King Jing and his wife entered Jinshui City surrounded by officials, heads of various families, and enlightened country gentry. Behind them were many common people who looked like drowned rats.

However, the people who were drenched in the river were not dissatisfied in the slightest, their eyes were fixed on Prince Jing who was riding on the horse.

Back then, King Jing entered the city with the emperor who destroyed the Southern Dynasty.

Today, King Jing has accepted the surrender of the people in the city like a conqueror.

It was only six or seven years ago, except for the baby who was just born, anyone who remembers remembers that Prince Jing was so beautiful at that time.

In the past, Mu Yang had never been named the prince of the current dynasty. He was dressed in a military uniform, and he was mighty and extraordinary, like an insurmountable mountain pressing on their heads.

Even though the people of the Southern Dynasties showed some hatred for the conquerors in their eyes, he didn't care.

Now, Prince Jing has shed his black iron armor and high crown robes, which are extremely luxurious.

It's like sitting on the clouds of Tianshan Mountain, looking down at all living beings.

The people standing on both sides of the road no longer have any hatred, only look up.

After the gap was too great and they were unable to resist, the worship of invincibility had become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Prince Jing had already made the patriarchs of the gentry bow their heads and admit defeat.

Through word of mouth among the people, everyone knew that although Prince Jing was unable to practice martial arts, he had already mastered an extraordinary sharp weapon, and was killed by a single shot by the master.

Prince Jing can do it, as long as ordinary people with hands and eyes can do it.

Prince Jing gave ordinary people hope for a counterattack.

They no longer envy the martial arts masters who can go high and high like gods.

"Is the prince placed in the palace? In the past, the palace was cleaned by a special person. Before the prince came, the official ordered someone to clean it again."

The governor's surname is Qi. After being appointed as the governor, because of the same surname, he joined the Qi family and became a relative of Lianzong.

He is tall and strong, with a Chinese character face that looks upright and upright.

However, since Lianzong, he has completely turned to the Qi family, and has been held in the hands of several patriarchs.

Every year under Governor Qi's rule, the tax burden and the amount of food paid have increased, which has won the emperor's approval.

But governor Qi knew that behind this was the help of the Qi family and other noble families.

If he didn't listen to them, he wouldn't be able to secure his position as governor, and he wouldn't even know how to die suddenly in the governor's mansion.

It's not that he didn't resist, but after seeing the tragic death of the guards around him, and being taken by the Patriarch of the Qi family to enjoy the luxury of Jiangnan, he wanted to continue to be the governor, and even more wanted to live the extravagant life of a happy race god.

Who doesn't say Jiangnan is good? !
Only those who have enjoyed it know how luxurious Jiangnan is.

The Qi family was able to buy even the commissioner of the Hover Department, so the governor of Qi felt at ease and became a member of the Qi family.

Anyway, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are doing well, and he pays the taxes on time, and the amount is not bad. Governor Qi always thinks that he is a capable and loyal minister.

"The palace? The palace built by the emperor on the original southern palace?" Mu Yang asked, "You let me live in the palace?"

A look of envy flashed in Governor Qi's eyes, "Your Highness has a high status, and the palace is spacious, which is just right for you and His Royal Highness to stay temporarily."

Except for a few patriarchs, Governor Qi has never lived in the palace.

The last time it was opened was the [-]th birthday of the Patriarch of the Qi family. In the old Southern Dynasties Qinzheng Hall held a big banquet for the guests, and Duke Qi sat on a high place, feeling as if he was on top of the world.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety glazed lanterns were placed on the water of Taihu Lake, and the entire palace was surrounded by light, making it hard to tell whether it was the world or the fairyland.

In terms of extravagant enjoyment, the aristocratic family indeed has a profound heritage.

"No, the palace is waiting for the emperor to visit the south." Mu Yang waved lightly, "Qi Gong, can your house be convenient for me to stay for a few days?"

Qi Gong's eyes widened, and he quickly said: "It's convenient, it's convenient, the whole Qi family is honored to have the prince come to the humble house, just... just because the humble house is so poor that the prince will be neglected and the concubine wronged."

"Duke Qi is too polite, how can the ancestral house that has been passed down by the Qi family for hundreds of years be shabby, Duke Qi is tired of living in the ancestral house, so he went to warm the newly renovated palace.

This king was born in a reckless family and has been in the army for more than ten years. The ancestral house of the Qi family is already a very wealthy place in this king's eyes.

This king is not as good as Duke Qi who is used to seeing good things. Only the nobleness of the palace is worthy of Duke Qi's [-]th birthday.

It's a pity that my king went south two months late, otherwise I would have been able to congratulate Duke Qi on his birthday face to face..."

Qi Gong swayed and almost fell off the horse.

Mu Yang's eyes were calm, and he said flatly: "What's the matter? But I'm not feeling well? This king hopes that Qi Gong can be like nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine glazed lamps, and live for a long time, and live as long as the sky."

Yunwei likes to watch Mu Yang calmly frighten people to pieces, which is more exciting than Mu Yang firing a gun.

"There are [-] glazed lamps short of one, why don't Duke Qi use [-], it's not complete without one." Yun Wei asked curiously.

"When the water is full, it will overflow. Qi Gong knows that wealth cannot be extreme, so he deliberately emptied one." Mu Yang explained Yunwei's confusion, "The palace has become a place for several family heads to entertain guests. This king is not as bold as them. Living in the imperial uncle's exclusive palace, Weiwei can only be wronged to live with the king in the Qi mansion.

However, the Qi mansion was built at the same time as the former Southern Dynasty imperial palace, and the Qi family followed the great family of the former emperor's southward journey, and has always been honored and favored, which is better than this prince's Prince's Mansion in the capital. "

Yun Wei said: "Then I have to take a good look at the Qi family's buildings. Is there any building worth keeping? In case the Qi family... Cough cough cough, people can ask for crimes, but buildings can't be destroyed and demolished, Ah Yang, okay Architecture is a treasure that can be passed down.”

"Okay, people can die, but buildings can't be demolished." Mu Yang nodded.

Duke Qi had already slid off the horse, his old face was pale, his lips trembling and he said stammeringly: "My lord atones for my sins, I will never dare to offend your Majesty, my lord... It's just... just that there are too many visitors to sit in the house ..."

"There are many visitors and a lot of expenses. Duke Qi has always been extravagant. I know your loyalty. Would you like to pay a sum of money from the palace?"

Mu Yang raised the corners of his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "This king was ordered to go south to rectify the south of the Yangtze River. There will be a war in Xiliang. The emperor and Empress Yang ordered several times to stop extravagance and advocate simplicity.

Duke Qi used the palace to entertain guests, and this king feels that if you can satisfy the emperor, the emperor will not hold on to such a trivial matter.

After all, if the palace is empty, it is also empty, and if it is used on the right way to solve the emperor's urgent needs, the emperor will forgive Qi Gong for his arrogance. "

Yun Wei's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she said like a profiteer: "Having a banquet in the palace, Qi Gong gets face, the emperor gets benefits, it's good, there is nothing that money can't balance, if there is, it can only mean that there is not enough money.

With Qi Gong in front, each family can also apply to hold a banquet in the palace in the future. As long as it is not damaged, it will be fine after the banquet.

The emperor always treats everyone equally, if Duke Qi can do it, so can you. "

Xiao You: "..."

A cold sweat broke out from behind the Patriarch of the Wu family, can he still play like this?
genius!

Concubine Jing is definitely a genius in business. Who can resist the temptation of going to the palace for a banquet?

As soon as this example was opened, the palace had to have banquets every day.

However, Concubine Jing should set the price very high and not let everyone get what they want.

After all, scarce commodities are the most expensive.

It's just that Concubine Jing did this, the emperor's face... The Patriarch of the Wu family raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Jing.

If you can enter the supreme emperor's exclusive palace for only money, how much awe will there be left for the emperor?

He glanced at Prince Jing who nodded in agreement, and he didn't believe that Prince Jing would not have thought of this.

What on earth are Prince Jing and Concubine Jing going to do as a couple who play and sing together? !

Prince Jing himself has no intention of taking the throne, so is he going to drag the emperor down from the supremacy?

Who said Prince Jing had no ambitions? !
He is very ambitious!
Governor Qi said: "My concubine's words are inappropriate, my lord, you can enter the palace with money, I'm afraid it will damage your majesty's reputation."

"Master Qi, why didn't you say these things to Duke Qi that day? Because it came from me, you objected? Are you looking down on me, or on women?"

Yun Wei said coldly: "It looks like you have read the book. The emperor in the Song Dynasty was called the official family. At that time, the common people could visit the palace. Why can't they use a vacant palace?

The emperor's prestige is not based on this, if you are really afraid of the emperor, I am afraid that the survivors of the Southern Dynasty will have nowhere to escape. "

Governor Qi: "..."

"You don't know that when the Song Dynasty fell, hundreds of thousands of common people and officials jumped into the sea to die for the country." Yunwei looked around with her beautiful eyes, "Being an emperor who is close to the people and making the people close is not a fatuous lord. .”

The faces of the heads of the various families were embarrassed. They were all living people and did not dare to die for the country.

Mu Yang turned his horse's head and looked down at Duke Qi who was struggling to get up, "Helping Duke Qi up, although I know the location of Qi Mansion, the Patriarch of the Qi Family needs to lead the way."

Duke Qi bent down and said: "Don't dare to bother the prince's personal guards, the old man will guide the prince."

He took the initiative to hold the reins of the steed that King Jing was riding, very humble.

When King Jing rode a horse, he held the reins like a slave or a maidservant, and he no longer had the strength of aristocratic family.

Back then, they had been broken by Mu Yang. Just now in the battle on the river, they once again realized that Mu Yang was still the boy who entered the enemy city alone, and the whole city knelt down.

It's just that this young man married a wife who was also not easy to mess with, and the young general no longer only cared about the war and ignored government affairs.

Patriarch Zhao's eyes flashed darkly, since he despised Qi Gong's servile face, he also felt that Qi Gong robbed him of his job. '

It is definitely safer for him to lead Jing Wang's horse than old man Qi!
The Qi mansion occupies a large area, and it is more luxurious than the Xiao family's ancestral house. After all, the Xiao family lives in the capital with the emperor, and the main children are all in the capital.

There are more than ten memorial archways erected in front of the mansion, including the Sanyuan Jidi archway and the memorial archway honoring the ancestors of the Qi family.

After years, the archway is no longer brand-new, but it has strengthened the heritage of the Qi family.

The ancestors of the Qi family were indeed talented, otherwise they would not be able to continue to this day.

Logically speaking, the archway given to the Qi family by the previous dynasty should be demolished.

The Qi family and other families got the emperor's oral order that year, except for the demolition of the archway given by the last emperor, the emperor allowed each family to keep the other archways.

Mu Yang passed two archways on horseback, but he didn't intend to get off his horse.

Duke Qi was somewhat dissatisfied, but now that the whole family's life was in the hands of Prince Jing, he did not dare to let Prince Jing dismount and walked past the archway on foot.

Suddenly, Prince Jing said, "Stop."

Duke Qi immediately tightened the reins, and raised his eyes to King Jing wondering.

Mu Yang got off his horse, stretched out his hand to help Yun Wei off the back of another horse, held Yun Wei's hand, and said, "Did you see that? The most outstanding general of the previous generation of the Qi family, who fought bloody pirates to protect the people of Zhan City." Later, the emperor of the Southern Dynasties thanked him for his sacrifice for the country, and specially rewarded him with a memorial archway.

It has been more than [-] years, but every household in Zhancheng burns paper and worships on the anniversary of the death of General Qi. There are so many memorial archways in the Qi family, only this one should be preserved. "

Yun Wei followed Mu Yang to bow to the archway, and walked through the most shabby and crude archway of several archways.

The Qi family probably didn't realize the importance of this archway.

Otherwise, don't have to wipe the archway very clean, this one actually looks a little dilapidated.

Zhancheng——it is just a small county with more than a thousand people. It has been looted by pirates for a long time. Compared with the rich and prosperous counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhancheng is really barren and poor.

However, Yunwei looked at the map, and found that Zhan City can actually be used as a seaport, and the geographical location and environment are very suitable.

Duke Qi and the patriarchs and officials around him looked unhappy, King Jing might as well just ride across all the archways to the gate of the mansion.

What does it mean to salute this archway specifically?
The Zhao family has a deeper relationship with the survivors of the Southern Dynasties, and they also know that today's pirates are all these people, and they often pretend to be pirates to intercept and kill coastal villages and towns.

After all, looting is easier than running.

"When the king went south, the emperor had explained that the king would strictly investigate the pirates and not allow them to go ashore to harm the people."

Mu Yang stood at the gate of the Qi Mansion, and said slowly: "Let's talk about it first, there will be collusion with pirates after today, it's best to pray that the king can't find evidence, otherwise there will be no mercy for those who collude with pirates, and the three clans will be pacified." .”

All the officials shuddered, never doubting Prince Jing's determination.

"Pirates... are so hateful. This old man is willing to assist the prince to kill pirates. I have some face in the south, and I am willing to help the prince collect information about pirates."

Duke Qi bowed and said: "I'm ashamed to say that if the prince hadn't instructed me today, I would have despised my uncle's military exploits.

It's a pity that the children of my Qi family have been studying literature for many years, and they don't have the martial arts that my uncle had back then.The next time the ancestor worships, the old man must plead guilty to his uncle in front of the ancestral tablet.

The old man will also urge the blood left by the uncle to inherit the ambition of the uncle, and not to lose the name of the uncle. "

What a thick skin!

Yunwei secretly rolled her eyes, and there was no one who could follow the pole.

Duke Qi wiped the corners of his eyes, choked with sobs and said: "My lord is a well-known undefeated general in the world, he has won many battles and has never been defeated.

The old man boldly begged the prince to give advice to the descendants of his uncle if he has time, and if the prince sees that they are available, he can keep them by his side for use.

The uncle's descendants followed the prince to destroy the pirates, and the uncle can smile at Jiuquan, so that his descendants will not be delayed by the old man. "

Mu Yang said: "You bring them here, and this king will see them. You really can't delay the talents you have."

Although Duke Qi was noticed by Mu Yang, he was extremely happy, thinking about adopting his grandsons under the name of his uncle, and trying to get on the big boat of King Jing as soon as possible.
