Chapter 42: Wei Zhongxian
Under the leadership of the four Inner Palace guards, Zhao Yu came to the east side of Chengtian Gate.
When he was about a hundred and ten steps away from Wei Zhongxian's mansion, Zhao Yu found that there was not a single idle person around except for the guards who occasionally patrolled by.
When he walked to the door of the Chitose Mansion, Zhao Yu, who boasted that he had seen a lot of the world, couldn't help but be startled by the old eunuch's row.
Vermilion lacquer door with fist-sized gilded brass door nails embedded in it!
On both sides of the mansion, a white jade lion of two people of equal height is placed.
What surprised Zhao Yu even more was that there were eight and a half steps down the main entrance of the mansion!
You must know that according to the Great Qianzu system, the mansion of a first-class master can only have seven bluestone steps at most, even if it is a clan prince and vassal king, it is only eight steps at most!
And the steps at the door of the old eunuch's house in front of him are only half a step worse than the emperor's Fengtian Palace!
This alone cannot be described as a monstrous authority......
This old eunuch who has no chickens, this is going to be heaven!!
Coming to the outside of the mansion, the black-clothed man who led the way in front of Zhao Yu stepped forward quickly, took out a token and threw it to the door guard.
"By Chitose order, bring this person into the house!"
The man in black pointed to Zhao Yu, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, and said.
The gate guard took the token and did not directly let Zhao Yu and the others in, but beckoned to Zhao Yu who was standing at the foot of the steps.
It is said that the prime minister's concierge is a third-grade official, and when he arrives at the Chitose Mansion, the guards guarding the door dare to despise the Jinyi Guard's main hall and thousands of households so much.
Zhao Yu, who experienced a lot of social beatings in his previous life, is not a second pole with a hole in his brain.
He knew that this was not the place to put the official genealogy of thousands of households, and although he was dissatisfied with the gesture of the guard on duty like summoning a dog, he could only suppress his anger.
"You are Zhao Yu, the main hall of the Jinyi Health Supervision Division?"
The guard on duty stared at Zhao Yu with his nostrils facing the sky and asked in a cold voice.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yu nodded, looked at the guards carefully, and remembered the voice and appearance of the person in front of him.
He Zhao Yu was born in the market, and he was not a generous person......
"Check the waist card!" The guard on duty stretched out his hand in front of Zhao Yu and said impatiently.
Zhao Yu didn't say a word, took off the Thousand Households token on his waist, and handed it to the door guard.
After the guy looked at the waist card, he casually threw it to Zhao Yu, and then turned around and waved his hand.
On the side of the vermilion lacquer gate, a side door slowly opened.
The guards of the inner palace took Zhao Yu into the mansion through the side door.
As for the main gate, in the entire Daqian Dynasty, only when the emperor comes here, is he qualified to let the old eunuch open the middle gate!
After entering the mansion, Zhao Yu really knew what extravagance was!
Behind the vermilion lacquer gate, there is a huge mutton fat white jade veneer shadow wall, on which skilled craftsmen use wonderful techniques to carve out the three friends of the year along the white jade flesh pattern.
Later, the corridors on both sides of the courtyard are made of nanmu, and you can smell the fragrance during the walk.
On the wall of the floating window lattice, there are jade inlays of different sizes, outlining each other with allusions to the study tour murals of saints.
In the center of the atrium compound, six Taiping cylinders are lined up.
The four rings of these six Taiping Jars are slightly exposed, and the seal is engraved with the sacred beasts guarding the Quartet, and there are feet at the bottom, all of which are dragon claws!
Especially in the Taiping tank, the koi fish that occasionally surfaced were from the Zhuding purple robe of Jinmen, a thousand gold!!
After returning from Longmen, Zhao Yu felt that although he was not a rich country, he was at least a rich man, right?
Bullshit!!
Looking at the layout and decoration of the mansion in front of him, Zhao Yu finally had a new understanding of wealth.
Passing through the cloister, at the porch of the inner courtyard, the black-clothed guard turned to leave, and a little eunuch led Zhao Yu into the inner court.
Nine bends and eighteen bends, Zhao Yu followed behind the little eunuch with him, and when he was about to be confused, he saw the main master in a courtyard!
No wonder no one came to assassinate the old eunuch......
Aside from the number of dead guards around Wei Zhongxian, it is not easy for ordinary people to figure out the complex layout of this mansion alone.
When you meet a hero with poor patience, even if you sneak into the mansion, before you find Wei Zhongxian, you will probably jump to your feet and scold your mother!
"Jinyi Health Supervision Division Thousand Households Zhao Yu, see Chitose!"
At the railing of the small lake in the courtyard, there is a white-haired old man, holding a verdant bamboo pole, leisurely fishing.
This old man, who seems to be buried in the soil to his neck, is the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, nine thousand years old...... Wei Zhongxian!
"I am old and faint, and I am physically inconvenient, so I can't greet him in person, Zhao Qianhu forgive me."
The old man handed the bamboo pole in his hand to a white-robed sword-wearing woman beside him, and said with a smile to Zhao Yu, who was kneeling on one knee.
"Subordinates are terrified!"
Zhao Yu knelt on one knee and bowed his head.
Facing the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, could deal with the calm Zhao Yu, but at this moment, a dense cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
In the past, Zhao Yu never believed in the so-called coercion and momentum.
But when he really faced this old man with a kind smile but who had been powerful for decades, he found that his breathing became sticky.
"Zhao Qianhu doesn't have to be polite, it's the old man who took the liberty to invite you to come to the house to talk about it, you are a guest, how can there be a reason for the guests to kneel and worship?"
Different from the domineering arrogance of those big people that Zhao Yu had seen, this old man seemed very approachable when he spoke.
But for some reason, Zhao Yu's heart was beating in shock.
Wei Zhongxian's words fell, and a personal eunuch had already stepped forward and brought an embroidered pier for Zhao Yu.
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Although Zhao Yu got up, he didn't dare to look at the embroidered pier in front of him.
"Zhao Qianhu is really young and promising, An Jianqing is also blind, and he assigned you to the West Factory at the beginning, but fortunately, you are now preparing Jinyiwei and being a supervisor Qianhu."
Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhao Yu and said with a smile.
"Zhao Yu, how can he be virtuous, it all depends on the promotion of the officials."
Zhao Yu, who never knew what humility was, just a moment, said all the soft words he could say in this life.
Wei Zhongxian smiled, and then raised his hand.
The woman with the sword next to her took out a fold from her arms and handed it to Zhao Yu.
"This is the excerpt of An Jianqing's Emperor Shangxuan and recommending you to be the envoy of Jinyi Weibeisi......"
Seeing Zhao Yu take the excerpt, Wei Zhongxian stared at Zhao Yu without leaving a trace, and said softly.
"Commander Ann makes the wrong love, and his subordinates are stupid and afraid that they are not competent......"
Zhao Yu took the fold and didn't even look at it, he directly held it with both hands and said loudly.
Without waiting for Zhao Yu to finish speaking, Wei Zhongxian directly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The cabinet has been approved, and the celebrant has also approved the red seal, so you don't have to be humble and resign!" ”
"Thank you Chitose for your support!" Zhao Yu got down on one knee again.
Amazing...... Bolengai is almost on his knees!
The ghost knows what Zhao Yu, who has been promoted again at this moment, is in his heart!
"It's all said, you are a guest when you come to the mansion, how can there be a reason for guests to kneel and kneel, get up...... Zhao Zhen Fu envoy! ”
Wei Zhongxian raised his hand and glanced towards the lake corridor.
After a while, Zhao Jingzhong, who was expressionless, and Cao Zhengchun, who was smiling all over his face, came to Wei Zhongxian's side and stood with their hands down.
"Zhao Zhenfu envoy, after returning to the ya, you will count the list of thousands of households and hundreds of households under your command, and hand it over to this slave and maid."
Wei Zhongxian pointed at Zhao Jingzhong and said to Zhao Yu with a smile.
"Yes!"
Zhao Jingzhong, who was called a slave, did not have the slightest displeasure on his face, but just bowed down in response.
Zhao Yu lowered his head, and thoughts were racing in his mind.
The benefits that should be given have been sufficient, so ......
It's time to show the knife!!
