Chapter 1139: The Lord of Fishing Silk
Try your luck, who is not here to try your luck, Chang Yu, who was washing his face by the river, looked at the slowly opening city gate, and the corners of his mouth rose, beckoning his subordinates to quickly pack up and prepare to enter the city.
The plan of the day is in the morning, the city gate is wide open, the crowd is endless, there are those who enter the city to make a living, and there are also those who go out of the city to work, Chang Yu and his party are divided into two groups, one team goes to Lu Wangfu with him to try his luck, and the other team is led by Qiao Sanxiu to spread rumors in the city, the reason why he went was because Qiao Sanxiu looked honest and simple, and Chen Wangting's appearance was too eye-catching and too obvious.
As a capital city, there are people on duty at the city gate, but there are only three or five people, and even sleepy-eyed, watching the family Changyu and his party dozens of horses, slightly puzzled and unwilling to ask.
"What are you looking at!" Wu Zhong raised his whip, and the frightened guards dodged and retreated, embarrassed, but this guy laughed and walked away.
", what's the matter, it won't be a ringing horse" One muttered, but was kicked by another person: "Blind, I didn't see that their weapons, bows and arrows are all configured by the imperial court, and the imprints on the war horses are all official horses."
"Hehe, or do you have good eyesight for the boss, but you don't know where it came from?"
"This also needs to be asked, who else is so arrogant in Shandong except for Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses in Jinan, and it is estimated that he is going to ...... Hey, you see, I really went to the North City."
Although Yanzhou is the capital city, it is not big, the Lu Wangfu is in the north city, accounting for one-third of the city, and the size is comparable to the Dewang Mansion in Jinan.
Chang Yu asked for directions, and after walking a hundred steps, he saw the eaves of the Lu Wang's Mansion in the distance, and Chen Wangting was slightly surprised: "Two years ago, the Tartars broke the Lu Wangfu in Yanzhou City and was robbed, and the repair speed is so fast, it seems that the Taoist said that the King of Lu has no money."
"Fei Ye, Fei Ye" Chang Yu shook his head: "Although the palace has been plundered, it has been very damaged, and although the family wealth is scattered, the family business is still there."
In fact, it is true, Chongzhen fifteen years of the Qing army broke the Yanzhou capital city, three of the four city gates were burned down, the houses in the city were burned down, and the wealth accumulated in the Lu Wangfu for more than 200 years was also plundered, but fortunately in the misfortune, the palace building was not greatly damaged, these are proved from some documents in the early Qing Dynasty, such as the Qing Dynasty for example, the early Qing Dynasty poet Fang Wen (Erzhi) in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi (1660) had been to Yanzhou, and his "Tushan Ji Lu Youcao" has a poem entitled "Yanzhou": "A county is full of soldiers, King Lu's palace is safe. The remnants did not go up to the city to look at it, and the grass couldn't bear to look at it. ”
There is also a song "Lu Forbidden City", which has a sentence of "there are several doubts about the spiritual light that are not destroyed", and it is self-note: "Yanzhou has been repeatedly broken, the houses have been burned, and the Duxi Palace is unharmed." But after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the poet's pen was a different scene. Zhang Tinggui's poem "Nostalgia for the Palace of King Lu": "Lu Feng does not see the Spirit Fire Palace, and the walls here are still like this. The green tile is piled with long autumn grass, and the barren moss is covered with cold smoke. Outside the lonely middle bay water, a few arboreal crows fall on the side. It is like a singing and dancing place in Hengyang, with a bleak wind and cold rain every year. "In the past, it was prosperous, but now in addition to the ruined walls, only the farmland is left.
It can be seen that the family of the relative Dewang Mansion is ruined, and there is at least one home on King Lu's side.
But the palace, which had been abandoned for two years, still looked dilapidated, with mottled walls and overgrown vines and weeds, but the gate of the palace was still clean.
When Chang Yu arrived in front of the palace, the two family members were sprinkling water, and they were a little nervous when they saw such a group of people: "You, what are you doing?" ”
"Please let me know, Dongchang Chang Yu came to visit the prince" Chang Yu arched his hand on the horse, and the family said: "Wait a minute" turned around and trotted into the palace.
After a while, he asked the door of the palace to creak open, and a young man walked out panting, looking at Chang Yu and his party: "Which one is Chang Gonggong?" ”。
This young man is the contemporary Lu King Zhu Yihai, the sixth brother of the former Lu King Zhu Yipai, who is now twenty-six years old.
Chang Yu hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Chang Yu greets the prince."
But I was surprised in my heart, this King Lu was also polite, after all, it was the vassal king who didn't need to greet a eunuch in person, even if it was a power eunuch, he didn't need to run over.
But in the blink of an eye, he understood the key again
First of all, Zhu Yihai must have heard of his prestige.
Secondly, the reason why Zhu Yihai put down his body so much is because he is a king of the silk domain.
King Zhu Youli is miserable enough, he took over a ruined palace, he has no power, no power, no money, and even was ridden on his head by the big warlord Liu Zeqing, and he was powerless to resist, but at least he had land and food.
And Zhu Yihai, is a pure hanging silk, two years ago the Qing army broke Yanzhou and almost slaughtered the palace, he was lucky to escape the homeless people and ask for food, until February this year, the court ordered his attack on the lord, the transformation of the vassal king, but the raid on the lord for only a few months in addition to the name of the vassal king, money, food, power, power, and Mao are not.
Although most of the buildings in the palace are still there, but it takes a lot of money to repair them after two years of disrepair, he doesn't, he can only clean them first and barely accommodate them, and the others come slowly, after all, as long as the palace fief is still there, there will always be money.
But right now, he's a real sling.
So when he suddenly heard that the most powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty actually came to visit, how could he not be excited, how could he not put down his figure, to put it bluntly, he had the same mind as Zhu Youli, hugging his thighs.
It's just that in front of him, this young man is really the legendary invincible Dongchang eunuch? Are you sure you're not a bandit leader?
Eunuchs shouldn't all be white, pure, feminine and evil, talking to girls, and going out either by car or in a sedan chair.
Although the person in front of him is young, he is tall, hard, and his complexion is not white, and he has been exposed to the wind and rain for a long time.
Zhu Yihai hesitated.
Raised eyebrows: "Your Excellency is really ......"
Before he finished speaking, Chang Yu took out his ID card, and showed the Dongchang waist card with him, Zhu Yihai had no doubt and immediately welcomed Chang Yu and his party into the palace: "How could Grandpa Chang come here?" ”
"I was ordered to go south to quell the chaos, and when I came, the emperor told me to pass by the Yanzhou era and take a look at you" Chang Yu said casually, Zhu Yihai almost burst into tears, and his mouth kept thanking him.
Chang Yu quietly looked at the young prince next to him, because in the historical data, Zhu Yihai is also a legendary figure, it is rumored that after the city of Beijing was broken, when the Qing army entered the customs to attack Yanzhou, the guard Liu Zecheng received bribes from the Qing army, abandoned the city, and Zhu Yihai fled as a shepherd, and was exposed.
I don't know if it's true or not, but it's a fact that Dafu is a prisoner, and he will live for a few more decades when he is a prisoner, and he will end up well compared to other vassal kings.
The main hall of the palace is still dilapidated, even the furniture, but the cleaning is very clean, Chang Yu glanced around, picked up the teacup and took a sip, he sighed secretly, come in vain, not to mention the oil in this place, even the wax can't scrape a layer.
Maybe it's time for a vacation.
