Chapter 10: Breaking Away

All the way back to the Xingning Fangli Wang's mansion, Fu Nu got off the car first, ran up the steps to open the door, called two elderly Xiao Huangmen attendants who served as porters and handymen, and ordered one person to drive the carriage into the utility room on the west side of the Li Wang's mansion, and pull the horse to the stable to feed.

He said to another person: "This cage goose is rewarded by the old queen, you two take it to the east garden to settle, you must first build a goose house and keep it for a few days, don't let it run back, this goose has spirituality!" ”

"Then why don't you bring back a goose breeder in Xingqing Palace, we won't do this!" This old little yellow man's name is Zhang Demin, who is the deputy Confucian official of the royal mansion, and he is a little lazy and slippery, and several older miscellaneous servants in the royal mansion are sent out by the palace.

Li Yun got out of the carriage just when he heard it, and reprimanded him sternly: "Is it? You don't know how to do things, do you know how to eat? ”

That Zhang Demin didn't dare to say anything more, and walked away with the goose cage in a huff.

Seeing that the people under his command were trained by Li Yun, Fu Nu was very happy, and said with a gossipy smile: "I heard in the palace that they are lazy and lazy, and when His Royal Highness left the cabinet, the Xuanhui Yuan was transferred to such people. Then the servants over there in the king's house are all diligent, and there are more than a dozen small palace maids, I heard that the king loves to call the small palace maids to sleep, and he became a father at the age of fourteen, and the other is pregnant again, but he still lives in Guo Guifei's palace every day, and eighty percent of them are in love with which one. ”

"Less broken mouths! You also go and do your thing, ask Wang Keer to go to the study to grind ink and wait, and arrange Gao Xingkai's residence. ”

Li Yun smiled and patted Fu Nu's head, this little yellow door and the other two palace maids were transferred by his mother Duan from Baowen Pavilion to take care of him, and they can be regarded as credible and usable people, but others are not necessarily. But now there is another guard, Gao Xingkai, just let him take care of the fifty old sergeants, and it is best to screen out all the old soldiers who can't be used and replace them with young and usable people.

Thinking of this, Li Yun turned his head to look at Gao Xingkai, this guy was carrying his luggage, looking at the gorgeously decorated front yard gatehouse of King Li's mansion on the high pedestal, and he was obviously a little uncomfortable for a while.

"This ...... Oh high! After you enter the mansion of King Li, you will be the king's person, there are not so many rules and etiquette, you can ask Fu Nu more when you have time, settle down in the residence first, and let Fu Nu take you to the study for a while! ”

"Okay! Listen to His Highness's arrangement! Gao Xingkai responded humbly, and then looked at Fu Nu in a daze.

The name of King Li's mansion, which sounds very majestic, is actually not as good as the private residences of some high-ranking officials in the court, covering an area of only 20 acres and living in 70 people. It is divided into a west stable room, a west utility room, a small school yard covered with sand, and a servant's accommodation room.

And in the middle of this stack, there are the front yard, the middle hall, the north hall, the back kitchen courtyard, these four sets of courtyards, only the middle hall, the north hall two sets of courtyards are relatively large, the front and the last two quadrangle courtyards are slightly smaller. To the east is an orchard and a small garden with ponds and rockeries, pavilions and small lofts for daily leisure.

Together with the Buffon, there are a total of ten attendants, and fifty veterans of the house all live in the north of the West Wing; There are four old palace women who are swept in raccoon clothes, four cooks, and two personal maids who serve Li Yun, all of whom live in the back kitchen.

These are all the attendants of the Li Palace, which is very shabby to the princes of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, but in Li Yun's opinion, this level of luxury is unimaginable to him in that life.

Li Yun is not very familiar with his royal mansion, Li Yun used to live in the middle hall, and the slave maid lived in the back to take care of the living through the north hall, which was inconvenient and empty, so he felt unaccustomed to it, and decided to move to the north hall tomorrow.

There are two permanent bedrooms, and the formal bedroom is on the second floor of the central hall, because it is cooler to live upstairs in summer; The other is behind the nave for temporary rest. The left side of the bedroom behind the middle hall is the study, and there are no books on the shelves, all of which are manuscripts brought back by the Hongwen Museum for study. The prince's study materials were mainly subsets of scriptures and histories, arithmetic, music, laws, and so on.

Li Yun was not interested in reading those traditional Chinese characters, so he took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but saw that the ink in the inkstone was not enough, and after waiting for a while, Wang Keer walked in quickly with a tea set. This little palace maid is only fourteen years old, her stature is not high, she walks briskly, her waist is soft, she looks pretty and lovely, but her chest is flat, which is a bit regrettable.

Li Yun beckoned: "Don't fry your tea, it's not delicious to add ginger and garlic, come and grind the ink first." ”

"Great! His Royal Highness didn't come back for two or three days, and the little maid was worried about His Highness, Duan Niangniang knew that His Highness was in trouble, and she must be worried! Wang Ke'er paused for a moment, so she had to put down the tea set, carry a small kettle and pour water into the inkstone, and then began to grind the ink.

"Hmm...... Tomorrow, I will take you and Funu into the palace to visit A-Niang, and prepare some gifts to bring with you. ”

Hearing Wang Ke'er say this, Li Yun suddenly remembered his mother Duan. Although she was born as a palace maid when her cheap father was in the hidden mansion, she has not yet been titled, so she has to earn one, not to mention the concubine, concubine Hui or something, at least there must be a Zhaoyi or beauty.

Li Yun smiled and watched her hold the ink strip in her hand and twist it vigorously in the inkstone, and her slender fingers turned a little white. After the ink strip was ground off for a small part, the ink in the inkstone was thick and black, and many words could be written. Wang Ke'er ran away again, took a fan for a while, and stood behind Li Yun to fan.

Frowning and pondering for a while, Li Yun began to wave the paper, and first wrote down the title of the six words "Please Reorganize Miyashi Shu", but found that it was written in a horizontal style from left to right, which was not good, and he had to use the vertical style from right to left, so he had to crumple the paper into a ball and throw it away and rewrite it.

The Tao Te Ching says: If a gentleman lives on the left, he will be on the right, and if he uses soldiers, he will be on the right. Good things are still left, and evil things are still right. These details are also exquisite. Generally, the movement is to use the pun script, neatly and neatly, which is very standardized.

But if the style is not good and you can't use this format, then you also need classical Chinese, and the narrative style format is ancient prose. Miscellaneous prose and other things are not difficult for Li Yun, but it is a headache in classical Chinese, so he can only write quickly, explain what he wants to say clearly, make a draft and polish it again, and use the above Chinese.

Learn to use time to hate less! Seemingly...... I'll have to hire a staff member in the future. The former owner of this body is a good hand at falconry, safari batting, riding archery, double land, and canopy, and his knowledge is really not very good, and now he is also a half-hanger, so he can only take his time.

Before I knew it, the sky was slightly darkened, and I finally finished writing the music.

"Kerr! Pass the meal! Get the study! Li Yun commanded, Wang Ke'er poked his head out of the door and looked, it turned out that he was holding the lamp outside, Li Yun thought for a while and asked, "Didn't Gao Xingkai come over?" ”

"Your Highness is talking about the bearded man, he came, and the little maid saw that His Highness was busy, so he asked him to retreat first!" Wang Ke'er came in with the lamp and turned around to pass the dinner.

"Let Funu go and spread the word, and call all the people in charge of the house to the middle hall, and I will see them for a while." Li Yun frowned again.

The daily consumption of the Li Wang's Mansion is not abundant, the food money is more than 400 a year, the field is only more than 200 acres, the food and clothing are supplied by the Jialing Temple, and the daily affairs of the royal house are managed by the eunuchs as the envoys of the Zhuang Mansion, and receive various food subsidies from the Jialing Temple.

That is to say, the princes after Wu Zetian were placed under surveillance by eunuchs, and a system was formed by Xuanzong, and the affairs of the royal mansion were managed by the envoys of the Zhuang Mansion, and there was nothing for the prince, let alone any opening of the palace. Of course, this is only limited to princes, not under the county king, and there are few eunuchs and palace maids.

The financial power, accounting power, guard power, and housekeeping power of the royal mansion are all in the hands of the eunuchs of the Zhuang mansion, and of course their own safety cannot be decided by others, and they have to be divided. However, there is a lack of talent in hand, these eunuchs are inextricably linked to the palace, and there may be some "nails" planted by others, and it is really a bit troublesome to reform it.

However, I have to announce it first, let Gao Xingkai get the right to guard, and wait for tomorrow's edict, he was demoted to a Xianyang County man, and his status plummeted, just under this excuse to dismiss some people of unknown origin and send them back to Xuanhui Academy.

In the future, if the title of prince is restored, and then additional eunuchs are sent over, you must be very careful, only by gradually getting rid of the fetters, getting rid of the surveillance, and pulling out the nails, can you really be the master of the Li Wang's mansion.
