Chapter 035: The Prince's Private Visit
There was no need for the prince to call, Luan Feng took two palace ladies, each holding a dress and brocade in his hand, and was already standing aside.
"Give the lonely a normal uniform."
"Yes."
Luan Feng glanced at the prince in surprise, and asked the two palace ladies to withdraw and change into ordinary clothes.
After some dressing up, the prince instantly turned into a personable son.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to leave the palace and pay a private visit?"
Cao Feilan was smart, and when she saw that the prince deliberately asked to wear ordinary people's clothes, she asked casually.
"Well, go out of Miyagi alone to find someone."
Yuan Zhi responded simply, but did not tell the specific matters and destination, and turned his head and instructed:
"Concubine Lan, you are so good to rest in the dormitory, let the dining room make some nourishing food for you, and I will instruct the chief imperial doctor Hua Chen to allocate some tonic medicine for you to regulate your body."
Yuan Zhi understands that there are many gynecological problems in ancient women, and they really need to be recuperated and nourished.
He genuinely cared this time.
Cao Feilan bit her lip and nodded yes.
For nearly a month, she has been serving the prince, facing a vigorous and sturdy man, a delicate young lady, to be honest, she is really tired enough to deal with.
He didn't know where the prince learned it, tossing women's 'skills', often dancing with a variety of tricks, and getting rid of a master of wind and moon.
There are some moves, Cao Feilan has never seen in the palace calligraphy and painting, it is really difficult to speak, and she blushes when she thinks about it.
"Concubine Lan, go alone."
For the first time, the prince said goodbye to Cao Feilan for the first time like a husband and wife.
"The concubine sends off His Royal Highness."
"The slave and maid send His Royal Highness the Prince."
“……”
In a congratulatory voice, Yuan Zhi and his entourage left the Zhengyang Hall and came to the west study first.
Governor Ji Hong was already waiting here, and on the red sandalwood case, there was a stack of materials, all about the brief history of the Guo family, the resumes of the main members, the main events, and so on.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Guo family, and the detailed materials of General Guo Wei, the slaves and maids have been sorted out, please review them."
Yuan Zhi took a sip of the bowl of tea, "Well, very good, you go and get busy." ”
"No, the slave and maid are gone." Ji Hong bowed down and left the west study.
Turning over the case, Yuan Zhi read it carefully.
The Guo family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and its ancestors can be traced back to Guo Huai, the general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Intelligence shows that Guo Xiang, the king of Zhongshan, is a descendant of Guo Huai.
Guo Xiang was the founding father of the final Jin Dynasty, the imperial lieutenant of Emperor Gaozong, and later the great Sima of the world's soldiers and horses, with outstanding military achievements, and was the greatest hero of the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
In several battles in northern Xinjiang to pacify the Turkic invasion of the frontier, he used 20,000 horses against a 150,000-strong Turkic army.
Due to the invincibility of Guo Xiang's heroes, the Turks were divided into two khanates, the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks.
Among them, the Eastern Turks bowed down to the Final Jin Empire during the Gaozong period, and it has been a vassal for fifteen years.
Guo Xiang has experienced more than 300 large and small wars in his life, and none of them have been defeated.
Northern Xinjiang Turkic, Tibetan and other khanates, as long as the name of Guo Xiang is mentioned, or when they see Guo Zishuaiqi, they are all frightened and flee in fear.
Therefore, Emperor Gaozong gave Guo Xiang the title of "Imperial Military God", the hereditary first-class Dingguo Gong, and the official worshiped the Great Sima.
Five years ago, the sixty-two-year-old Guo Xiang died of illness, and the Jiye Emperor Yuanren posthumously named him the King of Zhongshan, worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, and the incense is eternal.
Jiye Emperor Yuanren and the son of the military god, the hussar general Guo Wei, are of similar age and have a good relationship.
It's just that Guo Xiang died of a sudden illness that year, and Guo Wei, who was guarding the border pass, heard the bad news and waited for the edict to arrive, and the father and son returned directly to Kyoto from Yanmen Pass to mourn.
As a result, he returned to Beijing without an edict and was collectively impeached by Yu Shitai, Cao Qichang and other ministers.
Emperor Yuanren was under pressure, and first investigated Guo Wei's dismissal, and a year later, only the hereditary Dingguo Gong was restored, and he was allowed to stay at home.
Since then, Guo Wei has kept a low profile, stayed away from the struggle between the DPRK and China, and rarely had any contact with the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Guo Wei has two sons and one daughter, and the son is the eldest son, named Guo Rui, who was originally the chief general of Xiangjun and the general of Sipin Dingyuan.
The second son is called Guo Wei, and he is now the general of the camp of Jinwuwei and the general of Wupin Zhonglang.
Sister-in-law, that is, Miss Guo San, Guo Xiuniang.
After reviewing this, Yuan Zhi picked up the brocade box from under the bookcase and took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant that his father had given him from inside.
The father's meaning is very clear, it is to marry this Guo Xiuniang as the mother of the East Palace, the crown prince and concubine.
Yuan Zhi didn't know much about this third lady of Guo Fu, and she didn't know anything about her appearance, temperament, cultivation, etc.
I've never met.
This is another political marriage.
Yuan Zhi sighed helplessly in his heart.
Political marriage can make the Guo family the second protector of his ruling power and help him ascend to the throne in the future.
It's a good deal.
In ancient and modern times, all royal families at home and abroad attach great importance to this 'marriage of children' and enjoy it.
It is a kind of alliance of forces between wealthy families, a community of interests, for the supremacy of the right to rule.
"Someone."
"Your Highness, what do you command?" Ding Jiu heard the sound and entered.
"If you want to go out of the imperial city for a private visit, you can ride a horse, you also have to dress up in plain clothes, you don't need the prince's honor guard, understand?"
"Yes."
Ding Jiu was ordered to withdraw from the arrangement.
After a while, the prince rode the white thousand-mile horse, called the Snow Dragon Horse, and went to the west of the capital.
Ding Jiu took twenty Qianniu guards in civilian clothes and scattered around the prince, stealthily and secretly protecting.
West.
Dagongbo on the shores of Seoul Lake.
The reason why this great workshop is famous is because the name of the workshop was given by Emperor Gaozong himself.
In the workshop, only one family enjoys the exclusive success.
The huge mansion is east to Hancheng Lake, west to the east gate of the imperial city, and adjacent to the amusement shop of the wealthy giants.
The mansion is a super-large complex with nine entrances and nine exits, countless annex attics, gardens, lakes, and small bridges and flowing water.
The vermilion high gate courtyard, blue bricks and tiles, carved beams and jade pillars, heavy eaves pavilions.
The left and right wings are divided into courtyards, the buildings are lined up, the ingenuity is ingenious, the door wall is high, and the inner courtyard is elegant.
There is a gold plaque inlaid above the door of the mansion, on which four large gilded characters flash: 'Dingguo Mansion'.
The two jade lions more than two meters high are even more majestic and squatting, with a strong style, showing the nobility and power of the master of the house.
But this is all the scenery of the past, the glory of the past.
Nowadays, the door is full of birds, and the vermilion gate is full of dirt, and the paint is mottled and peeling.
The copper rings and copper nails that were polished in the past have a layer of green rust on them.
The jade lion was covered in dust, and the walls were covered with bryophytes.
Clear-eyed people can understand at a glance that the Dingguo Mansion has been uncared for for a long time over the years, and there are signs of decline.
"Your Highness, no, no... Son-in-law, go and call the door when you are young? ”
Ding Jiu accompanied the prince out of the imperial city for a private visit for the first time, and he was so nervous that he was a little incoherent.
"No need, Ben Gongzi will go in person."
Yuan Zhi waved his hand.
