Guan Chengren still came after all, but Li Mi no longer cared about this issue, because he knew that the old lady would definitely take appropriate measures.

Sure enough, the old lady still took Guan Chengren and went to the Chu Palace, and after Kang Chunxia unraveled the Gu, his body quickly recovered, and he also followed the old Taijun to the palace this time.

And what made Li Mi a little surprised and looked forward to it was that the old lady even brought him and Xiong Tingbi Suo Changsheng with them.

Li Mi knew that the old lady wanted to admit his family ugliness to King Chu Ding, and Li Mi and the three of them were the most direct witnesses and participants in the whole process.

It's not that Li Mi hasn't seen the world's dirt buns, after all, Suzhou Mansion is also a prosperous place, and he has been to Jinling once, so he thinks that his vision is still okay.

However, seeing the Chu Palace, Li Micai finally realized why the emperor asked him, a famous commander, to investigate the life history of King Chu Ding, maybe the emperor was really worried that the King of Chu would rebel, because the Chu Palaces were too magnificent!

In front of this royal city is actually a big lake, called Gedi Lake, it is said that the king of Chu planted reeds to make flute film, cross this big lake and the royal city, look up and you can see the yellow crane tower at the peak of Gaoguan Mountain!

This Yellow Crane Tower is the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River with Yueyang Tower and Tengwang Pavilion, and the celebrities in the past took the Yellow Crane Tower as the theme, and they don't know how many hand-me-downs they have left.

In addition, you can also vaguely see the Wudang Palace and the Iron Buddha Temple and other Buddhist holy places, hidden in the green mountains and fairy clouds, the style is lofty, the bearing is elegant, it does not look like the human realm, and it is ethereal and suddenly like a shrine.

This royal city has opened four gates, the main gate is the town Chu Gate, the common people call it the public yamen, the main hall of the palace is six feet nine inches high, the bleak green city wall, the black tile red wall, the main gate of the four cities, with Dan lacquer, gold coated with copper nails, luxurious and magnificent, really like the palace!

The first king of Chu is Zhu Zhen, the sixth son of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Hongwu was canonized as the king of Chu in three years, it took nine years to build the palace, and in the twelfth year of Hongwu, Zhu Zhen officially became a vassal of Wuchang.

At that time, the capital was still Nanjing, Taizu had high hopes for Zhu Zhen, hoping that Wuchang could become a fortress to defend Nanjing, at that time the king of Chu commanded nearly 7,000 guards, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was only more than 5,000 people, and the weight of the king of Chu can be imagined.

Zhu Zhen in the Hongwu period of Taizu's reign, many times led the army to go out, made great achievements, even Tang He and other princes and marquises, many founding fathers were controlled by Zhu Zhen, it can be said that Zhu Zhen is the incarnation of Zhu Yuanzhang, for Zhu Yuanzhang to guard the world in the south.

And Zhu Zhen is not like Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he is an extremely loyal person, and when he died, he also left a will, telling his descendants to serve the emperor with all his heart, so the title of the king of Chu can be hereditary, almost from the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Chu has been entrenched in Wuchang City for generations, and the feudal seal has lasted for more than 260 years, until it was wiped out by Zhang Xianzhong.

It is inappropriate to openly talk about the rights and wrongs of the royal family, but before coming here, Li Mi had already done his homework and had learned about the situation from Xiong Tingbi as early as possible.

In this Wuchang royal city, there is not only one king of Chuding, such as his younger brother Xuanhua Wang Zhu Huabi and others, also have a palace in the royal city, Chu King Zhu Zhen This vein continues to this day, hundreds of descendants, these descendants are also named county kings or princes, such as Tongcheng Wang, Hanyang Wang, Shouchang Wang and Chongyang Wang, these princes' palaces are also built in Wuchang Wangcheng, although the regulations are smaller than Chuding Wang, but the architectural style is also gorgeous and extravagant to the extreme.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, but after he became the emperor, he didn't want his descendants to do cheap work anymore, so he set up an ancestral precept that his descendants were not allowed to engage in the business of the four people, so the problem came.

These royal descendants do not work, and they have to spend lavishly, the court is gradually corrupted, and the vassal king's income is simply not enough to support their lives, so what should be done?

These county kings all have fiefdoms and fiefdoms, and the court does not allocate money, so they can only loot the people of their own fiefdoms, just like this Wuchang, although it is full of flowers, but it occupies most of the royal city of Wuchang, and there are fourteen or fifteen palaces in it, just like a huge leech, frantically sucking the blood of the entire Huguang!

Don't look at these royal families on top, as if they have no worries about food and clothing, but in fact, many side branch sects can do all kinds of bad things, stealing, abducting, cheating, robbing, and even stealing their ancestral graves.

Li Mi heard Xiong Tingbi say this, and he was also eye-opening, and he also had to talk to Xiong Tingbi early, otherwise he would be a little uncertain about coming to the palace this time.

At present, Mrs. Kang led Li Mi and a few people, passed the palace gate smoothly, and was led by the eunuch to the palace of the king of Chu.

This Chu Wangfu is also very gorgeous, just as the poem says: Zhu Yong's embroidered tiles lean on the oblique sun, Chu Geyan dance town sights, leaving the palace annex even the sky, jade gold paving bright moonlight.

The palace of the king of Chu is even more like the palace in general, although it has been washed over the years, it does not look old, but it is more and more brilliant, and the king of Chu still commands a large number of escort troops, it is no wonder that it attracts fear.

After the eunuch reported in, it didn't take long for him to come out again and lead the old lady and the others in.

Jiangxia Zhixian Guan Chengren is also trembling, Kang Chunxia is more familiar with the people in the palace, and he doesn't have too many scruples, and Xiong Tingbi is a civilian in the end, and he is also cautious at this time, even Li Mi is a little nervous, but Suo Changsheng still looks indifferent.

Zhu Huakui, the king of Chuding, did not wear a prince's python robe, but a simple Confucian robe, with a beautiful beard, and he didn't see how majestic, but he was also kind, and he saw that the old lady also got up to greet him, which was quite polite.

It's just that when he saw the old lady's white head overnight, he was also shocked, after all, he and the old lady had just met, and now the old lady was too fast, so he asked.

"How did the old lady end up with silver hair, and when did it happen?"

The old lady didn't dare to rely on the old and sell the old, and led his grandson to salute, Guan Chengren of Jiangxia Zhixian County had already knelt down, Xiong Tingbi also knelt down, but Li Mi and Suo Changsheng didn't move for a long time.

Li Mi is not used to this kind of kneeling salute, after all, he has signed up for the martial arts examination, and his official identity should be a scholar, although the martial arts scholar is not as good as the imperial examination, but Li Mi does not want to kneel when he sees someone, if possible, he will try to avoid it, and Suo Changsheng really does not want to kneel to anyone.

Fortunately, Zhu Huakui was taken aback by the white hair, and hurriedly helped the old lady up, Li Mi and Suo Changsheng just bent over, made a appearance, and stood up without their knees touching the ground.

Zhu Huakui also seemed to be aware of this, but he didn't say anything, the eunuch had already served fragrant tea, the old lady sat down, and the others retreated to the side, but they were not qualified to sit.

"Mrs. Kang came here today, but Chunxia is in trouble again? What happened to make the old lady so down? Zhu Huakui looked at the cloth around Kang Chunxia's neck and asked with some concern.

Mrs. Kang inevitably felt a little warm, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "It's also a shame to say that the old body is going to visit Tang Tu today, and there is really something to ask the prince to ......take measures."

Zhu Huakui saw that Mrs. Kang's face was solemn, and he also said to Mrs. Kang seriously: "Old lady, please speak." ”

Mrs. Kang glanced around, looked at Li Mi again, and then sighed and told all kinds of things about the Kang family.

She is also ashamed, she can't say it several times, she only feels that she has no place to be ashamed, which makes the Kang family ashamed, but if she wants to gain a foothold in Wuchang City, she must let King Chuding know about this matter.

King Chu Ding frowned, as if he was a little unbelievable, but he also knew that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the old lady could rely on the power of the Kang family to hide this matter, but she did not hide it, but took the initiative to admit it, which was enough to prove that there was a palace in her eyes and that he was the prince.

The Kang family has always been the main force of the guards under the command of King Chu Ding, but the Kang family has declined too quickly, the heirs are not prosperous, the men are gradually withering, and there are no talents, and their influence in the guard army of the King of Chu is gradually weakening.

However, although the old lady is a woman, she has a lot of means and courage, and those old subordinates in the guard army are also grateful for the kindness of the Kang family, so King Chu Ding quickly waved his hand and said to the old lady.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is also a bitter old lady, everyone says that it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, after all, this is the internal affairs of the Kang family, the old lady can come over, and the king also understands that the old lady will go back and take proper measures."

When King Chuding said this, the old lady was also relieved, and at this time, he heard the Jiangxia prefect of the Chuding Dynasty say: "Guan Chengren, you don't have to worry about this matter, do you understand what this king means?" ”

Guan Chengren didn't know the reason, and hurriedly agreed at this time, King Chu Ding's brows stretched, and he said to the old lady: "Old lady, the business can be regarded as finished, and you can't be at peace if you want to come these days, why don't you accompany this king to see the drill and relax?" ”

Although the grandson Kang Chunyun has been killed, but this matter has been approved by King Chuding, for the sake of the Kang family's face, in the end, can not handle the funeral in a big way, the old lady also needs to admit the feelings, it is not good to leave immediately, so he said to King Chuding.

"How can the old man be so virtuous, he has to be so concerned about the prince, this is the blessing of the old body, and it is the blessing of the Kang family, the prince must have found some strange people again, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't be so anxious to show off to the old body......"

King Chu Ding also laughed, and said to the old lady: "Or the old lady understands this king, Chunxia will also go with her, there are a few children in the house who will also go together, Hengzhu and Chunxia are also familiar, and they will be more lively." ”

King Chu Ding said so, and then stepped down from the throne, at this time Mrs. Kang pointed to Li Mi and the three of them: "Lord, this Li Mi is the governor of Suzhou Mansion to comfort and pacify, and this Xiong Tingbi is a martial arts scholar, this time I want to come over to participate in the prince's martial arts, and it is also good to see the world.......

When the old lady said something, he also mentioned the three of Li Mi, and King Chu Ding also knew it in his heart, so he nodded to the old lady at this time, and walked in front of the three of them, but instead of looking at Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi, he stared at Suo Changsheng and asked.

"You are the Suo Changsheng who understands the art of witchcraft? Your name is atmospheric enough......"

Suo Changsheng did not show his timidity, but said to King Chuding: "Shanye villager, where can I get into the eyes of the prince, and I don't know a lot of characters for villains, this name was given to me by Brother Li, so I accepted it cheekily." ”

Li Mi came to investigate King Chu Ding, low-key is the king's way, this King Chu Ding is the best to ignore him, who knew that Suo Changsheng actually threw a pot over, Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh, and said that this Suo Changsheng was deliberate, right?

However, Suo Changsheng didn't know that Li Mi wanted to investigate King Chu Ding, but he only felt that Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi were originally going to participate in King Chu's martial arts, which was also to gain a little attention for Li Mi.

When King Chu Ding heard this, he looked at Li Mi, but he stared at Li Mi, as if he wanted to see through all Li Mi's secrets!
