Chapter 65: Lest you defile the king's sword
A lively and grand ceremony for King Qin to enter the city turned into a storm that affected countless people in the capital because of the sudden appearance of a group of assassins.
However, the turmoil is still in the brewing stage.
Jiang Chuan's style of acting has always been that if he does not move, he will be thunderous. So he is not in a hurry now, as long as the prisoner confesses, he has the means and time to clean up those behind the scenes.
After experiencing the assassination, Jiang Chuan directly led the 3,000 personal guard battalion to the palace arranged for him under the guidance of Xia Junze.
This palace has been introduced above, covering a very vast area and a seven-fold courtyard. And modeled after the setting of the Forbidden City, there are also nine gates.
And there is another point, this palace is very close to the palace, after coming out of the palace gate at noon, it takes half an hour to walk to the palace.
And because the scale of the palace is too large, the entire street is occupied by the palace, that is, there is only one family on the entire spacious long street.
Riding on a horse, looking at the scale of the palace from a distance, Jiang Chuan was a little surprised.
He originally thought that Fan Sihai's big mansion in Guangning City was big, but it didn't look as good as the mansion in front of him.
I didn't expect the emperor to have such a big hand, it's really interesting.
It's just that the palace is too big, and you can't get a glimpse of its full picture.
At this time, in front of the main gate of the palace, a group of people were waiting eagerly, watching the brigade of iron horses rumbling out, these people were a little scared, and they couldn't figure out what the situation was.
Xia Junze sent someone to tell them, and these people knew that His Royal Highness the King of Qin had arrived, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to pay respects, shouting Chitose.
Jiang Chuan took a look, and the group of people who were kneeling down, including men and women, old and young, turned their heads to look at Xia Junze on the side.
Xia Junze explained with a smile: "Your Highness, these people are all arranged for you by the emperor. The emperor knew that you led the army out of the customs, and you were surrounded by rough men and no people to serve, so he arranged these. And the palace is too big, and there are fewer people to take care of it. Of course, if His Highness is not satisfied with these people, the lower officials can make the decision to select some people for His Highness. ”
Jiang Chuan has never used these people, and of course he can't talk about being satisfied or dissatisfied. Xia Junze's meaning is also obvious: If His Royal Highness King Qin thinks that this is a person arranged by the emperor, and he is not at ease with it, then he can replace it. I'll put you in some reliable hands. ”
Jiang Chuan naturally heard this meaning, nodded and smiled lightly: "Xia Ge has a heart. Satisfied or dissatisfied, you will know if you have used it. When the time comes, if it is not appropriate, it will bother the elder of the pavilion. ”
Xia Junze also understood what Jiang Chuan meant, so he didn't say more.
Jiang Chuan jumped off the horse, glanced at the crowd kneeling with their heads bowed, and said in a loud voice, "Get up." Since you will follow this king in the future, then do things with your heart, do what you have to do, say what you have to say, and keep your duty. If anyone has some messy thoughts and wants to make an eyeliner or something by the king's side, then leave as soon as possible, so as not to defile the king's knife when he gets it. ”
Jiang Chuan's words were simple and direct, which made some of these people who really had a special mission couldn't help but be frightened, and began to complain secretly, feeling that this King of Qin was really too angry, and this errand was really a terrible errand.
Everyone hurriedly said in unison: "The minions don't dare, the minions don't dare!" ”
Jiang Chuan snorted coldly and said coldly: "Get up, just do your job." You don't have to pestle it all here. ”
The crowd hurriedly got up and hurried back to the palace under the guidance of a butler-like man.
Bai Mu took the guard battalion to enter the mansion first, and carefully searched to ensure that there was no danger before Jiang Chuan entered.
Looking up at the huge plaque with gold characters on a black background above his head, the three big characters of "Qin Wangfu" on it are vigorous and powerful, and the strength is extraordinary, Jiang Chuan not only praised: "Good words, does Xia Ge know who wrote this word?" ”
Xia Junze smiled to himself, stroked his long beard and said, "It was the book written by the lower officials, which made His Highness smile." ”
Jiang Chuan was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that Xia Ge Lao was still a calligrapher, disrespectful and disrespectful." In the future, when I have free time, I will ask the elder for more advice on the true meaning of calligraphy. ”
King Qin, who was famous all over the world and was about to become the most powerful person in the world, praised him like this, even if Xia Junze was an open-minded person, he couldn't help but be a little happy in his heart, and laughed loudly: "If Your Highness has such a Yaxing, the junior official will definitely accompany him." ”
The two laughed and walked into the gate of the palace.
As soon as you enter the gate, the scene is very different from the outside.
If you look at it from the outside, the biggest feature of this palace is that it is large, but it does not look extravagant.
But when you enter the main gate, you will see a majestic and towering hall, and a white jade paved road under your feet stretches forward, and the ground on both sides is paved with cyan square bluestone.
At the end of the white jade road, there are layers of jade steps. I don't know how many floors there are, but when I look up the steps, there is a marble platform.
At the end of the platform is a huge hall. The overall color of the main hall is red and yellow. The red color is the doors, windows and pillars. The yellow one is the golden glazed tiles on the top of the main hall, shining golden in the sun.
The four corners of the main hall are corniced. There are glass-kissed beasts at each end of the main ridge in the middle of the roof, which swallow the large ridge steadily and powerfully.
There is a huge plaque hanging high on the lintel above the main entrance of the main hall, which reads "Yizheng Palace", and the font is the same as the plaque at the main entrance just now, which should be inscribed by Xia Junze.
Looking at this palace, Jiang Chuan was puzzled, this palace doesn't look like a palace, but more like a small palace, everything here is highly similar to the Forbidden City he once visited.
It seemed that he saw Jiang Chuan's doubts, and Xia Junze, who was beside him, explained with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't know, this mansion is indeed a lot of usurpation according to the ancestral system. ”
Then Xia Junze told Jiang Chuan about the origin of this mansion, and Jiang Chuan suddenly understood. Unexpectedly, such a huge scale and a mansion that regulated encroachment turned out to be just a courtyard for one of the Ming Emperor's favored sons.
This is considered a separate courtyard, and the real palace does not know how magnificent and grand the scale is.
Xia Junze accompanied Jiang Chuan, explaining while walking, which made Jiang Chuan suddenly feel like he was following a tour guide to the Forbidden City.
However, in his previous life, he also went to the Forbidden City several times, and he had seen a lot on TV, so after experiencing the initial surprise, he was also indifferent.
After walking for a while, Jiang Chuan found an empty room and rested first.
Because the palace was too big, it took Bai Mu and the entire guard battalion a full hour to complete the inventory of the entire palace and ensure that there was no danger before coming to Jiangchuan to report to Jiangchuan.
