Chapter 28: The Palace of the Pavilion

Although Xu Qingan didn't know the usefulness of this Golden Dragon Order, he also noticed that Gao Yuan and Cao Zhengchun's faces were much more solemn, that is, he knew that this Golden Dragon Order should have a lot of power.

"Son, thank you for your father's reward!" Xu Qingan doesn't care so much, since he has rewarded himself, then this thing is his own!

Emperor Xia said again: "This golden dragon order allows you to enter and exit the palace freely, and after you are crowned king, you must come back to see your mother concubine more often, and you must not use this golden dragon order to be overbearing, otherwise, I will take it back!" ”

Xu Qingan nodded again and again: "Erchen keep it in mind!" ”

"Go, by the way, I see that the maids and eunuchs in your mother's concubine's bedroom are a little industrious, let Cao Zhengchun choose some hands and feet to send them diligently." Emperor Xia said suddenly.

After Emperor Xia went to Shujiao Hall yesterday, he could even notice that the eunuchs and palace maids in Shujiao Hall were already relatively old, and it seemed that he was still more concerned about his mother.

Xu Qingan said: "The son-in-law thanked his father on behalf of his mother!" ”

After Emperor Xia waved his hand, he continued to deal with government affairs.

Out of the imperial study, Cao Zhengchun took Xu Qingan and walked towards the Yeting Palace.

Yeting Palace is where the palace maids of Daxia live, and among the palace maids who have newly entered the palace, they basically live here.

On the way, Xu Qingan asked Cao Zhengchun: "Zhengchun, I see that you seem to be in awe of this golden dragon order, I don't know what the use of this golden dragon order is?" ”

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, this golden dragon order has three functions, and this first one is the one who holds the golden dragon order, and His Majesty walks among the hundred officials, such as His Majesty in person!" ”

"The second is the holder of the Golden Dragon Order, who can dispatch a thousand soldiers and horses from the patrol battalion, and the third is to freely enter and exit the palace!"

After hearing Cao Zhengchun's explanation, Xu Qingan understood that the role of this golden dragon order is still quite big, isn't it the token that I came to in those historical dramas in my previous life?

The most important thing is to be able to dispatch a thousand soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion, and the duty of the patrol battalion is to guard the outer city of Chang'an, guard the city gate, and suppress the responsibility of the people in the outer city of Chang'an.

The patrol battalion is different from the forbidden army, the Great Xia forbidden army has a total of 10,000 people, while the patrol battalion has a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, the forbidden army guards the inner city, and the patrol battalion guards the outer city.

Xu Qing'an now has this golden dragon order, which means that he can dispatch a thousand patrol battalion soldiers and horses as his own soldiers at will, which is even higher than the prince's treatment!

In Great Xia, the prince was only able to have three hundred soldiers, the same as the soldiers of the Marquis of Yipin.

"What does it mean that this father came up and handed over such an important golden dragon order to himself?" Xu Qingan was a little puzzled.

Cao Zhengchun on the side said: "Maybe Your Majesty loves Your Highness, and in a few days, won't Your Highness go to the three southwestern provinces for disaster relief?" In front of those local officials in the three southwestern provinces, this golden dragon order is like His Majesty coming in person, and he may let His Highness act cheaply! ”

Cao Zhengchun's words were not unreasonable, Xu Qingan put away the Golden Dragon Order, then looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "I remember that your martial arts strength is the peak of the grandmaster, right?" ”

Cao Zhengchun said: "Back to Your Highness, the slave maid is indeed the peak of the grandmaster!" ”

"In this Great Xia Palace, who else is stronger than you?" Xu Qingan suddenly asked.

Cao Zhengchun thought for a moment and then said: "Gao Yuan, this person has been in the palace for a longer time than the slave maid, and the strength of the martial arts should be the great perfection of the grandmaster!" ”

"There is a maid by the queen's side, and the martial arts should also be in the late stage of the grandmaster."

"There is also an inseparable guard by His Majesty's side, that, the slave or Gao Yuan, has never been seen, it should be the realm of the Great Grandmaster!"

Xu Qing'an was suddenly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that there were so many strong people hidden in this palace.

Especially Emperor Xia, not only is the strength of the chief eunuch beside him Gao Yuan one line higher than Cao Zhengchun, but there is also a great grandmaster and master guarding him on the left and right, which is extremely mysterious.

Not long after, Xu Qing'an, under the leadership of Cao Zhengchun, came to the Yeting Palace, which belongs to the depths of the palace, extremely quiet, and many palace maids and female officials who have just entered are arranged here.

Female officials are the daughters of official families who come in from outside the palace, and they are basically women with innocent backgrounds and decent family backgrounds.

If you are lucky, you will be favored when the Xia Emperor comes to the palaces, and then become the emperor's concubine.

The rank of the palace maids is much worse than that of the female officials, most of them are women who are sent to the palace from the people's homes, and their status is low.

Although the palace is only a part of the palace, but the area here is extremely vast, according to Cao Zhengchun said, there are more than 3,000 female officials and new palace ladies living here.

The rooms of the palace maids are much worse than those of the female officials, and the number of people living in one room is several times higher.

"Grandpa Cao!" After the two little eunuchs guarding in front of the gate of the Yeting Palace saw Cao Zhengchun, their expressions suddenly changed, and then they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Cao Zhengchun's face suddenly sank, "Didn't you see His Royal Highness the Ninth beside our family?" Blind? ”

The two little eunuchs suddenly knelt down in panic and said, "The slave should die, the slave should die!" ”

Xu Qingan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, take me to choose a few new palace maids first!" ”

Cao Zhengchun naturally wanted to listen to Xu Qing'an's words, and then looked at the two little eunuchs and said, "Go and open the palace gate!" ”

"Yes!" After the two little eunuchs glanced at each other, they pushed open the door of the Yeting Palace.

Xu Qing'an took a special look at the two little eunuchs, and always felt that the two of them were a little overly frightened.

"Your Highness, please!"

Xu Qingan and Cao Zhengchun walked into this Ting Palace, they didn't expect that it was very quiet in this Ting Palace, Xu Qingan frowned slightly, and Cao Zhengchun also sensed that something was wrong.

"You two, our family has something to ask you, where have all those palace maids in this palace gone?" Cao Zhengchun's slightly cold eyes made the two little eunuchs tremble.

One of the eunuchs couldn't stand the pressure, and quickly knelt on the ground: "Back to Gonggong Cao, there is a palace maid who made some mistakes today, and the maid is teaching people in the backyard!" ”

"You're lynching?" Cao Zhengchun looked at the two eunuchs with cold eyes.

Xu Qingan said lightly: "Lead the way!" ”

The two eunuchs walked towards the depths of the backyard in a panic.

Xu Qingan and Cao Zhengchun followed behind, and the more they walked inside, they could hear some faint insults and some whip whips.

"Is it okay to use lynching indiscriminately in the palace?" Xu Qingan looked at Cao Zhengchun on the side and asked.

Cao Zhengchun said a little helplessly: "Generally, lynching is not allowed, but in a place like the harem, it is normal for one or two palace maids and eunuchs to die occasionally, and this female official also has the right to manage the harem maids and servants, and if you teach one or two palace maids a lesson, you can also say the past!" ”

While speaking, the two little eunuchs had already taken Xu Qingan and Cao Zhengchun to the backyard.

In sight, a woman dressed as a cyan palace maid was tied and hung in the air, her body covered with blood-colored scars.
