Chapter 1441: The Seven Princes
Jinzhou, located in the southern Xinjiang of the Eastern Song Dynasty, adjacent to the Tianlong River, has a pleasant climate, abundant fog and grass, and is a place of outstanding people!
But I don't know when this place has been called 'Huangzhou'!
In all dynasties, there are countless children of the royal family, although there are talented people, they can go against the current and compete for the seemingly supreme throne, but Shenzhou is a cultivation world dominated by force after all.
Therefore, most of the children of the royal family do not have the same enthusiasm for the throne as contained in the text, unless they are weak in martial arts talent and extraordinary intelligence, they will find another way to leave a name for the history, so as not to turn into loess one by one a hundred years later.
As a result, in addition to the Northern Jin and Western Xia countries being invaded and occupied by demons and barbarians, and there were rebellions against the bloody palace, the Central Tang Dynasty, the Southern Wei Dynasty, and the Eastern Song Dynasty never had turmoil every time the throne changed.
Of course, this is also because the major giants and sects have already divided their respective interests, even if they will support a certain prince for some interests, but after losing, they will not tear their faces and fight.
Under this deformed ladder of interests, the common people did not suffer too much from turmoil, and in fact was it true?
And the so-called 'Huangzhou' is the self-reserved land of the children of the royal family of the Eastern Song Dynasty.
Since ancient times, the royal family of the Zhao and Song dynasties has not known how many generations, except for the children who served in the Zongren Mansion in the capital of Bianliang, they were basically divided into entitlements, and the territory of these people was Jinzhou.
Over time, most of the Golden State is suitable for farming, or where the spiritual fields are located, are owned by the royal family, so it has the name of 'Huangzhou'.
Even if the Eastern Song Dynasty is not the strongest among the five countries, but in the land of a state, there is at least a large number of land quality sects, and the human level sects do not know how many, but Jinzhou belongs to the royal family alone.
In this way, it can be seen that the life of the children of the royal family is prosperous, and it can be regarded as the greatest benefit of the Zhao family in charge of the power of the Eastern Song Dynasty.
Of course, Jinzhou itself is also the ancestral land of the Zhao family, and it is rumored that the dragon veins are all in a certain place, but the real location is difficult for outsiders to know.
With Zhao Shuhang being canonized as the crown prince, the wedding period is approaching, and the land of Jinzhou is full of colorful flags, and the extravagance can be seen.
Even though ordinary people are not hungry and the roads are blue, the lights on the official road are colorful and the colorful flags are fluttering, and they have been preparing since half a month ago, and I don't know how much money has been spent.
Of course, such a large cost, the Zhao and Song royal families will inevitably consume the treasury and even internal funds, but how can the Zongren Mansion, which supervises this matter, let their own family spend so much money.
As a result, it was naturally distributed to the yamen of various state capitals.
The prefect of the province is passed on to the prefect, the prefect presses the county, and there are showdowns at all levels, and in the end, it will naturally fall to the wealthy families, and in the end, the people will have to contribute money and efforts.
What the?
Your family is surrounded by walls and has no money to contribute a bride price to the prince's wedding?
Well, go pave the way, crop man, there is always a lot of strength!
Hmph, you still want to be forced to serve? I'm really impatient to live, drag it away, drag it away!
Your girl is barely eye-catching, so she goes to the street to sweep and be a clean street maid, if she is favored by an adult who ushers in and sends it, it is a great creation!
Don't be embarrassed, what is it if you are already engaged, you can afford the prince's wedding?
Hmph, one day, our Great Song Dynasty will have the first Holy Emperor, who will be better than the three emperors and five emperors, you dare to push three and four times, it is really Diao Min, a big Diao Min!
And so on all over the Golden State, from top to bottom, all the time.
Although the wedding was held in Bianliang, the capital, Jinzhou, as the ancestral land of the Zhao and Song royal families, had to worship the ancestors, and all kinds of cumbersome etiquette and application were even much higher than those in the capital.
As for whether the people in the capital will see it, no one cares about the royal children of Jinzhou, this is a face!
......
Smack!
Somewhere in Jinzhou, in the extravagant garden lobby, a middle-aged man about forty years old with a brocade robe full of gloom smashed a teacup to pieces.
The hot tea and broken porcelain gradually covered the faces of the kneeling people at their feet, and even though they were blistered and bloodstained, and almost blinded their eyes, they did not dare to dodge a bit, and curled up like quails.
Inside and outside the lobby, kneeling on the ground, the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, for fear of causing chaos.
"Bastard thing, it's just a matter of doing some bullshit things at ordinary times, even playing missing at this juncture, quickly find someone, Ben Hou wants to break the leg of this evil animal, see if he dares to act recklessly!"
The middle-aged man in the brocade robe said viciously.
Everyone trembled, but they didn't dare to speak.
"Daddy!"
At this moment, a handsome young man with a fair face and a thirty-year-old walked in.
"Have you found the son of a?"
The middle-aged man asked urgently, obviously not so resentful as he had said before, and still remembered the missing person very much.
"The sixth brother is crazy about martial arts, and he often doesn't see anyone for three or five days, and he doesn't know where he went to visit his friends!"
The young man smiled bitterly.
"What kind of friends? are all fox friends and dog friends, wine and meat friends, and there are a few real martial arts masters? This time the prince's wedding, although our branch is still within the five blessings, it is already a partial branch of the partial branch, if you don't go to the capital to show your face, you will completely fade out of the clan!"
Middle-aged hated and stomped his feet.
"You also know that the sixth brother has a stubborn temperament, he has never been a proper person, he really wants to go to the capital to give gifts, and if there is any trouble, I'm afraid it won't end well!"
The young man slowly lowered his head and said with hatred in his eyes.
"That's it, let's get ready to travel immediately, although my Zhao Song royal family is flourishing, but the capital is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, with the temperament of the sixth child, I really don't know what kind of chaos will happen, most of this kid also has this thought!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, not knowing what his brain had made up, and sighed with a hint of relief.
"Daddy, don't worry, this trip to the capital, even if the child can't see the prince, he will go to the Zongren Mansion to report, so as to ensure that our lineage of imperial grace is endless, and the blessings will continue!"
The young man's heart twitched, and he withdrew respectfully.
......
Somewhere in Jinzhou, in a barely prosperous township, a group of six big men dressed in strong suits, like wolves and tigers, broke into a courtyard viciously.
"What do you want to do, break into people's houses, and is there any royal law?"
The old and young were pushed into the courtyard tremblingly, looking at the people with fear in their eyes.
I never thought that if I lived honestly and departedly, there would be a day when disaster fell from the sky.
"Heh, you're Liu Laoqi?"
A short, fat middle-aged man with a white face and beard said in a sharp voice.
"Little Lao'er is exactly!"
The thin old man, who was the head of the family, fell to the ground in panic, "Your nobleman, my family is a responsible person, and I have never done anything illegal and undisciplined!"
"Heh, I heard that there is an ancestral thing in your family, take it out, and the miscellaneous family will give you an eye!"
The short and fat middle-aged skin smiled and didn't laugh.
"Ah...... This ......"
The old man's face froze, looking at the smiling man and the middle-aged, and then at the children and grandchildren curled up in a ball, like a mourning concubine who fished out a wooden box from the well in the courtyard.
"Yes, yes, you are so bold that you dare to hide such a violation!"
The short and fat middle-aged man opened it and saw that there was a fluorescent jade inside, and his slender eyes flashed with joy, but his face was full of expression.
"Ah, this, this and this, the noble man is gracious!"
The old man didn't know what was going on, and immediately began to cry.
"Hmph, hiding forbidden things in private is a big rebellion!"
The short and fat middle-aged man kicked the old man over and walked away with the evil slave.
"Daddy, Daddy!"
"Grandpa!"
There was a cry in the courtyard, and the wolf-like officials laughed fiercely, intertwined into a sad lament.
"Yes, yes, this time I finally got a rare object, I didn't expect the rumors to be true, such a treasure will be in the hands of a broken family!"
The short and fat middle-aged man carried a wooden box, as if covering his heart and liver, and hurried to a restaurant and pedaled to the top floor.
"Did you find it?"
There were four swordsmen in strong suits inside, a tall and thin young man, who said urgently.
"Found it, it's indeed that Azure Jade!"
The short and fat middle-aged man handed over the wooden box as if offering a treasure.
"Bring me ......"
The young man stretched out his hand impatiently, but his complexion suddenly changed greatly, and he dodged backwards like a snake and scorpion, and then fell to the ground in fright.
Not only him, but everyone in the room was like this, in the green smoke curling in the wooden box, the true qi in the body could no longer lift half of the strength, only the billowing eyes were full of horror, indicating that they were still alive.
"Heh, what a fool, Da Song is in the hands of you silverfish, sooner or later, ......"
One of the guards slowly got up and sneered.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take people away!"
Strangely, another guard got up.
Puff puff!
As soon as the wind rose, all the guards were killed, but there was no blood stain on the outside, and they were even put into the bag.
Syllable!
A yellow paper talisman with a picture of a villain was pasted on the inside of the young man's placket, and after a struggle with his face, he left the restaurant with two guards as usual.
......
Coincidentally, such a scene has been staged many times in various parts of Golden State.
Even Bianliang, the capital city, which is ten times more lively and a hundred times more lively, is no exception, but everything is going on in secret, silently, and no one can detect it.
Da-da-da-da!
At the south gate, a hurried sound of horses' hooves suddenly came, and seven or eight warriors in strong suits, guarding a young man dressed in a rolling gold robe with hidden fish and dragon ornaments, and a slight fortune rushed over.
"Gyeonggi Strongland, who dares to ...... Ouch!"
"Don't die, get out of the way!"
Without waiting for his subordinates to stop him, the goalkeeper kicked it away and scolded the pedestrians to give way, smiling and nodding to the send-off.
It's a pity that this attitude did not stop the horse team in the slightest, and the knights did not even look at it, and then walked away, leaving a trail of dust.
"Head, now is the time of the prince's wedding, why are you still letting ......?"
The little soldier clutched his waist and said.
"Hmph, you guys, the bright spot is the seventh prince today, such an important day must be something to do, but you can't delay the affairs of the nobles!"
The gatekeeper said angrily.
"Yes, yes!"
The crowd hurriedly answered.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a first-class righteous gentleman in the world, legend has it that he has the posture of a saint, if he succeeds to the throne, he will become the holy emperor of the past and present, and I am the great Song Dynasty and the people, just around the corner!"
The gatekeeper said with some emotion.
"Head, what do you mean, isn't it a country and a country now?"
The little soldier stepped forward with a shy face and was beaten violently without surprise.
