Chapter 105: Shouwang Mansion
In the center of Chengdu stands a magnificent, very magnificent Shouwang Mansion, whether it is furnishings, or the area is completely more than the Shouwang Mansion in Chang'an City, and Li Qing has never seen what the Shouwang Mansion looked like in its heyday. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Since Li Qing came to the Tang Dynasty, the Shouwang Mansion he has seen is always a bleak and cold scene, and the popularity is low, but at this moment, looking at the brightly lit and popular Shouwang Mansion in front of him, Li Qing felt that there was nothing to say for a while, and the steps were made of Nanzhao Nanzhao marble, eight steps high, and under the illumination of the moonlight, it looked as white as jade, creating a mysterious and clean atmosphere for the Shouwang Mansion.
There are four big red lanterns hanging in front of the main gate, huge, like four fireballs, the courtyard wall is very tall, still made of white bricks, and there are eight mighty guards with knives standing in front of the door, all holding knives in their left hands, and their eyes scan back and forth at the passing crowd.
At this moment, Li Qing and his party stood in front of the palace gate, all of them were shocked, and the officials of Zhang Qiu and Qiong Jiannan Road next to him seemed to be very satisfied with the shock of Li Qing and others, only to see Zhang Qiu and Qiong, the former Jiedu envoy, pointing to the magnificent building in front of him and saying to Li Qing with a smile: "When His Majesty decreed the appointment of King Shou as the envoy of Jiannan Province, I have already begun to build a mansion for His Royal Highness King Shou, day and night, and now it has finally been completed before His Royal Highness King Shou arrives, I don't know if King Shou can be satisfied, if he is not satisfied, Xiaguan, Immediately command someone to reform! “
After calming down the shock in his heart, Li Qing turned to Zhang Qiu and Qiong beside him and asked tentatively: "Such a huge project, I don't know how much money it will cost to build, it is completely a waste of money for the people and money, this crime can not be afforded by this king!" “
And hearing Li Qing actually speak like this, the officials of Jiannan Dao on the side hurriedly changed their colors, and everyone did not expect that His Royal Highness King Shou, who had just been satisfied, would now be involved in the sensitive topic of labor and money.
An official dressed in civilian official clothes standing next to Zhang Qiu and Qiong said: "His Royal Highness King Shou, I misunderstood, this is completely financed and built by the gentry of Jiannan Province and us, and there is no waste of labor and money, please rest assured His Royal Highness King Shou!" “
Li Qing was waiting for this sentence, and at this moment, Li Qing smiled treacherously: "Since this is the case, this king will be disrespectful, since it is your intention, if this king does not agree, it will not give you face!" "Li Qing said very reluctantly, but who can't understand the smugness in those words?"
Such a luxurious mansion, the amount of money spent on building it is completely astronomical, Li Qing would not believe that they would be so selfless and pay out of their own pockets, if it were not for the looting of the people's fat and ointment, how could they be so generous, Li Qing could not refuse at this moment, if they refused, they would definitely collect money again through other means to curry favor with Li Qing, the new envoy of the festival.
Besides, Li Qing clearly understands that he has revealed too many hole cards all the way to Jiannan Road alive, which has caused too many people to be jealous, Li Qing will not think that he will not say anything else, just say that the prince will never let himself live too easily in Jiannan Road.
Now although Yuan has left the Beijing Division, Li Qing will not forget the reason why he was appointed as Jiannan Dao, if he was just driven out of the Beijing Division by his father here, over there, Li Qingruo is busy working hard and loving the people, winning the hearts of the people, and training the army, which makes it clear that he wants to rebel. How could this not arouse the jealousy of Emperor Xuanzong! When the time comes, a death-giving edict will come down, so what can Li Qing do at that time?
Therefore, the current Li Qing has to show a posture of eating, drinking, and having fun with the latest landscapes, so as not to arouse the jealousy of some people with a heart, after all, Li Qing's identity is extremely sensitive today, and he must be very careful with every step, if Li Qing makes a mistake, it will not be Li Qing who will die, but a cadre of the entire Shouwang Mansion.
The goal has been achieved, and everyone has been put together, and the officials of Jiannan Dao, who have lost their wives and broken their soldiers, have secretly slandered in their hearts: Little fox! "What happened today, everyone naturally understands that although the Shouwang in front of him is young, if he talks about his means, I am afraid that many of them will be ashamed of themselves.
A general from the Jiedu Embassy next to him said: "Please also invite His Royal Highness King Shou to enter and see if the mansion satisfies His Highness?" “
Although outside, has seen the height and grandeur of the palace, but entering the palace is another world, the whole palace layout is luxurious and unconventional, pavilions, row upon row, house buildings, uneven, and the layout is extremely reasonable, seeing this situation, Li Qing sighed: "They really spent a lot of effort to make themselves good!" “
At this moment, Li Qing couldn't help but think, could it be that the side envoys of the Tang Dynasty were so poor and luxurious, living a life like an emperor of the soil?
The whole Shouwang Mansion covers an extremely magnificent area, the model of the front and back yards, the front is the main hall of the palace, the place used to entertain guests, whether it is architecture or decoration is a natural momentum, neat and symmetrical, compared to the majestic atmosphere of the front yard, the residence in the backyard should be small and exquisite, suitable for human habitation!
The group walked through the spacious and atmospheric corridor and went straight to the hall, and Li Qing noticed that every ten zhang walked, he saw a soldier with a gun, although it was not "three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry", but it was so protective, ordinary people wanted to go through the layers of protection and assassinate King Shou, I am afraid it was really difficult to climb to the sky.
And as far as the area of Shouwang Mansion is concerned, if it is arranged in this way, then now this mansion, not to mention that there are two hundred soldiers in the army, what kind of concept is this, once there were only three people in the Shouwang Mansion in Chang'an City, and it was really a world-shaking difference, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh.
Walking into the main hall, Li Qing was even more surprised, and even embarrassed, because at this moment, the twenty-seven Yingying girls who were standing in front of everyone were very gorgeously dressed and had good faces, and none of them were more than eighteen years old, and when they saw Li Qing coming in, all the women saluted and said: "Slave maid, see His Royal Highness King Shou, see all the adults!" ”
Very satisfied with the reaction of the person in front of him, Zhang Qiu and Qiong said to Li Qing with a smile: "Your Highness has just come to Chengdu, and it is difficult to adapt to life, so the lower officials specially sent them to take care of Your Highness's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I hope Your Highness will not refuse?" If it was a consultative tone before, then now everyone has directly expressed their attitude: I hope Li Qing will not refuse.
At this moment, Li Qing was very embarrassed, whether he refused or not, whether he refused or not, the cadres in front of him sent troops to protect and send them to the mansion, and now they are even more gifted, it is completely clear that he wants King Shou not to interfere in the political affairs of Jiannan Province, Li Qing is naturally not easy to refuse, and if he does not refuse, Li Qing looked at Wei Yanyu who was trembling slightly beside him, and felt very uncomfortable.
Forcibly suppressing the true feelings in his heart, Li Qing pretended to smile very happily: "Your kindness, this network understands it, if it is not early today, plus at the banquet just now, you have already drunk too much, it is better to rest early!" ”
Hearing Li Qing's disguised eviction order, everyone naturally surrendered their hands one after another, after all, the goal has been achieved, and there is no point in staying any longer.
