Chen Guogong Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Li Minghan has passed away, the grievances between the Chen and Li families have ended here, in the future, no more attacks on the Li family, against Li Mingze, and no more use of the Chen family's resources in the court." Chen Qing, the eldest son of the current Chen Guogong and the de facto helmsman of the Chen family, said to his younger brother Chen Chong, who had a gloomy face.

"The son of Chang'an County, the son of Li Minghan?" Hearing the news just now, Chen Chong's gloomy face was still a little incredulous, and then a trace of anger appeared, and said: "It's just a county, why should our Chen family be afraid of him?" ”

"If only it were that simple." Chen Qing said in a deep voice: "But this is the first example of His Majesty being knighted in recent years, from a commoner to a nobleman in Beijing, I heard that on the day of the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Li family, Prince Ning and Princess Yongle both sent people to send congratulatory gifts, do you really think that these things are not connected?" ”

The Chen family has been glorious for decades, relying on the grace of the Son of Heaven, in fact, whether it is the prince or the prince, the size of the capital, who is not like this?

Whether it is illustrious glory or poverty and decline, it is all in the royal thought.

For the Chen family, the county or even the county is nothing, but they have no way to ignore the thoughts of today's son.

A county with an exceptional seal is not just a small viscount, so that His Majesty can ignore the opposition of the courtiers, how important should the other party have in His Majesty's heart?

For the sake of a little personal grudge, it is not worth looking for today's dissatisfaction.

"I see." Chen Chong clenched his fists, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

The enmity with the Li family is a personal enmity, and if there is any adverse impact on the entire Chen family because of the personal enmity, he will become a sinner of the family.

Walking out of the room, Chen Chong let out a long sigh, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up from the bottom of his heart.

When he saw the woman sitting in the garden, the helplessness on his face immediately disappeared, turned into a smile, walked over slowly, and said: "Wait until the weather is better in two days, go out for a walk, I am afraid that I will feel depressed after staying in the house for a long time." ”

The woman had white hair, and her appearance looked like she was in her early thirties, she was looking ahead in a daze, but when she heard the words, she came back to her senses, a light smile appeared on her face, and she said: "It's been more than ten years, and it's really a little boring, and it's good to listen to the second brother." ”

When Chen Chong heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said, "I'll arrange it immediately." ”

The woman smiled and nodded, but the look in her eyes was still a little lacking.

------

A nobleman who suddenly appeared is a noteworthy thing for the big and small powerful families in the capital.

Especially when they found out that they didn't know anything about this Chang'an county, the other party seemed to appear out of thin air, and suddenly won the holy favor, which made everyone's hearts surprised and surprised.

The ministers of the court are naturally opposed to this, and almost all of the large and small nobles in Beijing today are the titles earned by their ancestors when they founded the country, and since then, the knighthood has become a difficult thing to ascend to.

Many old ministers have struggled all their lives, but they can't get such an honor, the eminence is only a generation, and they can't shade their descendants, how can a young man without any merit be able to do so, Your Majesty's move, I don't know how many ministers in the DPRK will chill.

However, everyone's opposition was all suppressed by His Majesty, and several bigwigs in the court also chose to remain silent about this, and even no one played in the imperial history, so that everyone noticed a trace of abnormality.

His Majesty will not be knighted for no reason, the only possibility is that this son of Chang'an County really has enough credit for being knighted, and at a young age, he has done what many old ministers can't do in a lifetime.

There is no way to verify this, and His Majesty will not explain it to them in detail, and it seems that he can't get any useful information from that Chang'an county.

Because the other party is not like other nobles at all, he did not invite other nobles after being knighted, nor did he set up any banquets, which was low-key and outrageous.

The only thing they know is that the other party is the grandson of the Li family, the family of Li Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, that's all.

Li Xianzi, who was on the cusp of public opinion, didn't have time to care about this, and he only moved into his new home today.

The prefectural government is actually not far from Kyoto, and although you can't see the castle wall from your doorstep, you can barely count it within the second ring road of Kyoto.

I heard the eunuch who led the way say that the house was just completed by His Majesty's order of the Ministry of Industry, and the new one cannot be new.

The knighthood is not just a title, the viscount's mansion, fiefdoms, tenants, maids and even guards, all of which are included in the knighthood gift package.

Soon after leaving the capital, it entered the territory of Chang'an County, and then along the official road forward less than half an hour, a magnificent mansion can be seen from a distance, a group of maids and people stand in two columns, and when everyone approaches, they immediately bend down and say respectfully: "Welcome the lord back to the house!" ”

Xiaohuan was taken aback, grabbed Li Yi's sleeve, and looked at these people with curious eyes, even when Li Yi was a county lieutenant, she had never seen such a big battle.

Lao Fang stood in place in a daze, looking at the scene in front of him, with a look of envy.

A group of maids, beautiful wives and concubines, and a big house, isn't this the life he dreams of?

The little girl of the Dragon Boat Festival also held her mother's hand tightly, and looked at the gate of the Viscount's Mansion with timid eyes, this is where they will live in the future, no longer have to squeeze in a small bed with grandma and mother, will she have a room of her own?

The woman named He Xiu, who was held by the little girl, also had a hint of surprise on her face, she was bullied by bullies on the street a few days ago, and the family was crammed into a small room, and in an instant she lived in the Gaomen compound, with all the maids and servants, all of which gave her a feeling as if she was in a dream.

Beside her, a man over forty years old rubbed his hands a little crampedly, but his face was full of excitement.

There is no one within fifty zhang around the Viscount's Mansion, and there are people looking at it carefully, and I have heard that Zhuangzi has ushered in a new master, who is the lord of His Majesty himself, and the villagers poke their heads one by one, wanting to see what the lord looks like.

"Let's go in first." Li Yi waved his hand and took the lead into his new home.

The subordinates also swarmed in and stood neatly in the courtyard.

Looking at the group of subordinates standing respectfully in the courtyard, from now on, everything about them, including life and death, is in their own hands, Li Yi is still a little unaccustomed to it.

It turns out that this is the life of the aristocracy, no wonder so many people want to be crowned king and worship the prime minister, the word power can indeed bring people an experience that is not necessarily possible.
