Chapter 659: Spring Garden
Fang Yun understood as soon as he heard that his uncle Fang Shouye was obviously recommending Fang Yingwu.
Fang Yingwu is the son of Fang Shouye's eldest brother, but he has been living in Fang Shouye's house, and the two are like father and son.
Fang Yingwu is over 20 years old, he is currently a man, quite talented, and very shrewd, when someone offended him, he was tortured by means to survive and not to die, extremely treacherous. However, this person is not a tyrannical evil young man, and his reputation is mixed.
Fang Yingwu has a habit of not being interested in women from good families, and likes to stay overnight in the flower building painting boat, and is romantic.
Fang Yun asked Fang Shouye some things about Fang Yingwu, and recalled the previous rumors, this person has no other bad deeds except for liking to linger in Hualou and revenge, not to mention that Fang Yingwu is his cousin, but he is of the same clan, which is far more trustworthy than outsiders. With Fang Shouye's temper, if Fang Ying's objectivity is really problematic, he will definitely not give up his old face to pass on the book.
"When my cousin arrives in the capital, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for him. ”
Fang Yun went to the "Spring Hunting Class" and the "Palace Examination Class" normally in the morning, and after the class, he used the official seal to check the handbook, and found that many familiar or unfamiliar people recommended themselves or recommended others, just to be Fang Yun's private soldiers or staff.
On the way home, Fang Yun thought as he walked, it was undesirable for someone to be a private soldier or a staff member, but his team was not stable, and rashly accepting a large number of people would inevitably lead to various contradictions, after all, people's hearts were the most complicated, and they were not as easy to control as barbarian private soldiers.
After Fang Yun finished lunch, he didn't go to the literary battlefield to practice his words or war poems, but sat in the study and thought about his team candidates.
The farmer came to help the Jinshi naturally could not refuse, "farming" is an important subject of the palace examination, agricultural work to get A or B is the best, if you get C, you will immediately lose the qualification of the top three in the palace examination, food and clothing is always the most priority of the human race.
Master Xiang is an old fritter in officialdom, and he was recommended to Cai He by Jiang Hechuan, the minister of literature, and has followed Cai He for several years. It can even be said that everything is reliable.
Fang Yingwu is also a candidate for staff, this person has traveled all over the country, but not only thinks about it with his lower body, but also meets all kinds of people and hears strange things in the Hualou painting boat, which is what Fang Yun lacks. Fang Yingwu is younger than Master Xiang and more perceptive in some ways.
As for the private soldier of the demon barbarian private soldier, Ao Huang will be the captain, and Ao Huang will definitely be very motivated.
The official private soldiers are sent by the military, and the current general of the official private soldiers is a middle-aged Hanlin of the Chen Shengshi family, who has served in the army for many years, but for the safety of Fang Yun. Will be sent by the Chen family to Fang Yun, and the two thousand private soldiers nominally belong to the Jingguo royal family, but in fact they are soldiers brought out by the Chen Shengshi family, and their loyalty to Jingguo is unquestionable.
Fang Yun thought clearly, plus the people sent by the Holy Court, the current team is enough, and any more will look bloated, after all, he is only governing a county, not a state or even a country. If there is a shortage of people. Directly went to the Fang family relatives in Dayuan Mansion to select, the relationship between the same clan is extremely reliable, and Fang Yun is both prosperous and lossy. Even if people of the same clan want to take refuge in Fang Yun's enemy, the other party may not be willing to accept it.
Only when the "Fang family" has a firm foothold and has a preliminary scale can it speed up the recruitment of talents.
In the afternoon. The eunuchs of the palace came to read the holy decree, officially canonized Fang Yun as the "Duke of Zhenguo", and rewarded the palace, the courtyard, the garden, the fertile land, and so on. And bring a full ninety wagons for congratulatory gifts!
The Fang family can't hold so many congratulatory gifts, these things will be sent to the famous garden "Spring Garden" located on Mingde Street, the Spring Garden is one of the three best royal gardens in Jingguo, one of which was given to Chen Guanhai, two royal for their own use, and now one is given to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun was obviously stunned when he heard this reward, yesterday's court meeting did not involve the "Spring Garden", it seems that the Queen Mother decided today.
Ordinary people would only think that it was the queen mother's heavy reward, but Fang Yun also had an official status after all, and immediately realized that this was an obvious political signal.
There is a "prince" in a country, as the heir of the monarch, and Fang Yun's treatment is similar to Chen Sheng's, which is equivalent to indicating that the queen mother has regarded Fang Yun as a "prince saint".
The "Spring Garden" award shows the determination of the Queen Mother and many officials in the court.
The status of the national prince is extremely high, and the canonization ceremony takes a certain amount of time to prepare, and a formal canonization ceremony will be held on December 25, when not only civil and military officials will participate, but also the people of the capital will go.
In view of the change in Fang Yun's identity, the upper house was no longer suitable for living, and that night, everyone packed up the Fang family's qiē.
Early the next morning, the convoy sent by the palace picked up Fang Yun and the others and was responsible for moving. The eldest princess Zhao Hongxiang also came in person.
The spring garden is located in the southeast corner of the capital city, and when the capital was built, it was discovered that there was a natural spring there, so it was built as a royal garden and named after the spring.
The carriage stopped, Fang Yun and the people of the Fang family walked off the carriage, the front is the grand and simple main gate of Quanyuan, the plaque of the main gate is written on the word "Quanyuan", which is written by the founder of Jingguo, and it is the calligraphy of the three realms of "words and ink into bones", and every stroke of the two words is like a sword standing upright.
The spring garden is composed of the main garden and the east, west, north and south four sub-gardens, the theme of the main garden is water, as soon as you enter the main gate of the spring garden, the first thing you see is a lake with a circle of 30 zhang, there are small islands and water pavilions in the lake, and there are long corridors or long bridges on all sides to connect the rest of the places.
It's just that it's winter now, and the plants on the surface of the water are slightly dilapidated, if it's summer, the lotus leaves are full of the lake, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is a rare place to enjoy the lotus.
This is the famous "Lotus Pond Lake" of the Spring Garden, and around the Lotus Pond Lake, there are buildings such as the Lingering Fragrance Hall and the Feiye Pavilion.
Along the way, Zhao Hongxiang kept introducing a qiē in Quanyuan.
Fang Yun and Ao Huang were very calm, but Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao, Fang Daniu and others kept exclaiming along the way, even if the scenery here was not as beautiful as in summer, they were deeply fascinated.
Fang Yun compared the Spring Garden with the Suzhou Garden in his memory, and found that this Spring Garden was superior in terms of scale and all aspects, after all, with the participation of Confucianism in the construction, he could do things that ordinary people could not do.
Just the lotus pond lake courtyard behind the main gate is more than 20 acres large!
Everyone walked for a while, bypassing the lotus pond lake, and then came to the main garden behind, the main garden is full of ponds and rivers, covering an extremely wide area, at first glance people think that they have come to the Jiangnan water town.
Because it is a royal garden, the main garden is mainly for the monarch to watch and rest, but also to deal with government affairs, and even hold a temporary court meeting, which is not suitable for living.
The first qiē in the South Park is extremely well-equipped, and it is even too complicated for the other family, and many rooms are not needed at all.
Zhao Hongxiang didn't know much about this place, and the garden officials of Quanyuan were responsible for introducing them to the Fang family one by one.
After that, Fang Yun and the others went to visit other gardens.
Time does not slow down, and there is no return.
Fang Yun quickly adapted to the life of Quanyuan, and on December 25, he accepted the official canonization of "Zhenguo Gong".
Congratulatory gifts from various countries have arrived one after another, the people needed by Fang Yun's team have arrived one after another, and the private soldiers have gradually improved. (To be continued......)
