191.Chapter 191: Plan ahead
Hearing An Sheng mention his Zhuangzi, Qin Wan smiled slightly, although his 'kiss' was very self-contained, but it was a pride that anyone could see: "Exactly, this Zhuangzi is given by a sage, although it is far less magnificent than Kunming Pond, it can also be called a grand scene." ā
Kunming Chi is 332 hectares wide, there are Yuzhangtai and Guidian, can accommodate dozens of ships, more than 100 building boats, built for the Han Dynasty, it was used to train the navy, but gradually became the place of pleasure of the royal family. To Chongqing talk, the imperial power is weak, the family is rich in the previous dynasty, the world loves the smoke of the Kunming Pond 'waves', the royal family vigorously repairs, expands and maintains the Kunming Pool, several great families also have learned the same, forcibly occupy the fertile land, lead the water of the Qinling Mountains, and dig the pond for enjoyment.
After Qin Yan, Taizu of Xia, won Chang'an, he surrounded these pools so that the soldiers could familiarize themselves with the water 'sex'. The mansions by the pond were cleaned, and the gold and silver 'jade' utensils were used for military expenses. It's easy to unify the world, the prosperous era is coming, there is no need to train the navy on the Kunming pool, these pools and the surrounding land have also become the royal family's 'private' things, the irrigated fertile land is considered the imperial village, and the fish is the capital of the palace concubines' pollen, and the extra ones are all collected by the emperor's 'private' treasury, and the princes and grandchildren have not yet been able to get it, let alone others. In fact, the Great Xia royal family has been inherited for three years, and those who have won this honor can be counted on one hand - when the sage was the king of Qin, the king of Liang and the king of Qi also got it, and then counted, it was the acting king and Qin Wan.
Such an honor, if you are modest, will make people think that you are too fake and proud, and others will feel normal.
Although An Sheng doesn't like to build a lot of construction and 'waste' money, she grew up in the rich and splendid pile, and she is also a master who is not bad for money, even if the slave has a lot of "private" pockets, and the money left by the An family to her is too much to "spend" for several lifetimes, so she turns a blind eye to these things. Even if she is under the fence, she has to spend her own money on food and clothing, Mo Luan persuaded her repeatedly, and seeing that An Sheng's mind did not change, she went.
What kind of family is the Lu family in Yingchuan, Lu Ling is the 'daughter' of the Lu family, and the 'daughter' taught by Lu is naturally different. An Sheng decided that Qin Wan was sincere, and naturally wanted to repay the kindness, even if she couldn't stop Qin Wan's idea of building a garden, she could also let her not extravagant 'waste' expenses, so she sincerely said: "The natural advantage is here, does the county lord just want to plant some 'flowers' and grass?" In my opinion, it is better to imitate Huashan Mountain in the pool, pile up a stone mountain, and the waterfall on the top of the cliff pours. Open another clear stream and plant some orchid grass. When it was time for the banquet, we took a light boat to fish with colorful lotus; Or hunt in the mountains. If you want to be more elegant, wouldn't it be wonderful to have more flowing water? ā
Qin Wan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Although there are many gardens in Chang'an, most of them only make a fuss about the 'flowers' and layout, An Sheng's mention is indeed refreshing, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and she also has a good idea in her mind: "You can open up a street next to it, imitate the market, specialize in selling food and surprising gadgets from all over the world, and you can also 'get' a few places, and specialize in raising some plays, ancestors, and orchids to entertain yourself." ā
Speaking of this, she paused, and Fang said with some regret: "It's a pity, if you move like this, it will be light for a year and a half, even if the requirements are lower, and a few scenes are completed first, it is unlucky, and you can't get married from there." ā
An Sheng's nose was sour, and his always cold face had a little softer 'color', like a snow lotus on the top of the mountain slowly blooming, so beautiful that people didn't dare to look at it directly: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't care." ā
The Linchuan Marquis Mansion was given by the sage, and the Linchuan Marquis died suddenly, and he had no son, so his relatives came up like jackals. Mrs. Mu was strong all her life, and when she saw this situation, she was unwilling to give the title and promise to outsiders, so she instructed An Sheng's son to have a surname An Hou, and to state the matter in a letter, otherwise he would die. In this way, there is no successor to the Linchuan Hou An's family, and the mansion will naturally be 'handed over'. Although An Sheng has a house and a Zhuangzi to go to, there is no one to call the shots. Her identity is sensitive, and her heir is involved in the heir of Tianyilou, no matter how Qin Wan 'befriends' her, she can't let her marry in the Daiwang Mansion. It is precisely because of this that Qin Wan thought of letting An Sheng marry from his newly built Zhuangzi and act as an elder on behalf of the prince's husband and 'wife' - the county lord's other village, and with the blessing of the emperor's eldest son's 'wife', An Sheng's wedding will not be bad.
Qin Wan's intentions, An Sheng knew it clearly, this girl who had been lonely for many years didn't have time to say a few words of thanks, so she heard Qin Wan say: "Or else? You married your cousin and married from the Huaijun Mansion? ā
"Lord Shen?"
"That's right! It's my cousin! Seeing that An Sheng was a little melancholy, Qin Wan smiled and took her hand, "Come, let's go to the 'flower' garden for a walk, I'll talk to you as we walk." ā
An Sheng looked at Qin Wan's lower abdomen with some awe, and made up his mind to help her, and the two of them walked slowly in the 'flower' garden in the west of Su Mansion surrounded by many 'female' mothers, only to hear Qin Wan's soft voice slowly sound: "I'll tell you the truth, don't laugh at you." The Shen family was originally born in the army, and Tsinghua University, which lacks a little bit of scholarly 'door', let alone the heritage of the family. For people of our status, there is no shortage of glory and wealth for a long time, isn't life just to fight for face? Can...... Alas, my cousin is also a cautious person, and the official is getting bigger and bigger, but the in-laws have not risen much. Although my nephews and nephews' are not bad, they lack so much of the innocence of scholars, which has to be said to be a pity. ā
Speaking of this, Qin Wan sighed, but quickly cleaned up his mood and smiled slyly: "Besides, Zhao Su and Xiao Yu have returned to Beijing to report on their work, and I still count on selling Ah Gong's favor and sending them to Ah Gong's command for some training!" ā
After the 'rebellion' in Jiangnan three years ago, the sage showed his undiminished trust in Mu Miao and appointed him as the governor of Yangzhou, in charge of one party. Qin Wan pestered the acting king, asked the acting king to go to the palace to ask for the holy decree, and sent Zhao Su and Xiao Yu to the south and followed Mu Miao's side, in order to let the two learn water warfare, and if the imperial court really wants to attack Goguryeo in the future, it can be regarded as prepared
Zhao Su and Xiao Yu have military exploits, and they are the descendants of the acting king, Mu Miao knew that he could not make a move to offend the acting king and accept the two as henchmen, so he built a yƬ to the sage and sealed the two of them as Guoyi Duwei. It is precisely because of this that the two of them have to return to Beijing every three years to report on their work, waiting for the reappointment of the imperial court.
The princes and nobles promoted a few people from humble backgrounds, and others would not pay too much attention, after all, these people have an unstable foundation, they are like duckweed, and they are not in a real high position, why not? However, Shen Huai, the in-law of the acting king, is more attention-grabbing, who asked the saint to compensate the acting king, one is to give his son money, and the other is to mention Shen Huai's official position? The more low-key and cautious Shen Huai is, and the less in-laws are revealed, the more important he is to the saints. An Sheng had no doubt that if the acting king proposed to the sage to send Xiao Yu and Zhao Su to the Western Regions, the sage would definitely agree.
When Qin Wan saw An Sheng's application, he knew that An Sheng "understood" what he meant, and then looked at the distance between himself and the maids, maids, and women, and after making sure that people with particularly good ear skills could hear what he was saying, he smiled slightly.
She didn't tell a lie! She will indeed mention to the acting king that Zhao Su and Xiao Yu will go to the west, but it does not mean that the saint will agree!
Hearing Zhao Su and Xiao Yu, the sage would think of Mu Miao; When I think of Mu Miao, I will remember Qi Run. In light of the current situation in the Eastern and Western Turks, as well as the increasingly fierce struggle between the kings, think about those courtiers in the court who have different minds and positions, how could the sage not start to use Qi Run? Qi Run has committed the crime of bullying the king, so he can't be an official, right? What if he has made great contributions to the country? The countries of the Western Regions have a variety of positions, Qi Run is brave and strategic, if he is an envoy to other countries...... Of course, in this way, it will not be very convenient for Zhao Su and Xiao Yu to go to the Western Regions, and the saint, will he refuse the request of his eldest son, who has always felt guilty?
No, absolutely not.
Therefore, the answer is very clear, Zhao Su and Xiao Yu will be sent to the north, and their official positions will be higher than the current one, more than one level higher.
This is the recompensity of the saint to the son.
"Speaking of which." Qin Wan seemed to be a little distressed, "Next year is the birthday of the saint Gu Xi, all countries come to the court, the four directions are moving, if you stay in the capital, you will be able to receive some grace." Shall I ask my father to put them in the royal guard, so that they may not suffer outside? ā
For the people of Chang'an, Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world, and everywhere else is a desolate frontier, but An Sheng said: "Forget it, their promotion is already a little fast, and it has attracted people's attention." If you become the warden army and deputy pawn army of the palace again, it will not only be a matter of red-eyedness. ā
Foreign generals, magnates do not pay attention, if they occupy the quota of the palace, there are definitely a bunch of big people who want to eat their 'meat', drink their blood, and 'get' kill them to make room for their children and grandchildren.
Qin Wan nodded and said very simply, "Okay, I'll listen to you." She didn't plan to let Zhao Su and Xiao Yu stay in the capital, not only that, but she also wanted to take the opportunity of the sage's birthday and the envoys of various countries to push Qi Run to the front of the stage.
At this time, Chen Miao suddenly stopped.
She was very close to Qin Wan, and when she stopped suddenly, Qin Wan immediately felt it, and also stopped, turned her face to look at him, and asked softly, "Ah Miao, what's wrong?" ā
Chen Miao listened attentively for a while, her brows tightened, and she said very firmly: "There is a cry." ā
Qin Wan raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "Crying? In broad daylight, who will cry in the 'flower' garden? ā
She didn't think there was anything, others heard her say this, but they were scared into a cold sweat, sandalwood and agarwood were just about to persuade Qin Wan to go back, but Qin Wan said: "Ah Miao, can you hear where the crying came from?" ā
An Sheng pulled Qin Wan's hand, Qin Wan shook his head at her, turned his head to stare at Chen Miao, and saw Chen Miao's expression wandering, and resolutely said, "Take me there!" I want to see who is pretending to be a god and 'messing' ghosts. ā
