Chapter 10023 In the Mansion of the King of Shu
This kind of invitation, how to say that when the other party just spoke, you have to be polite, otherwise, as soon as others invite you, you will immediately agree, and it seems too productive, but this also depends on the situation, the most important point is to see what the other party is.
Just like what Zhang Fan is encountering now, if the other party is similar to him, this kind of politeness can be used, but in this case, the other party is from the prince, even if he is a prince who has some trouble with the court now, he is still a prince, and the prince has spoken, as long as you are not, then you have to listen obediently, otherwise it will not be a mess of the law.
What's more, Zhang Fan's invitation from the other party can be regarded as asking for it, if it is just to see Zhu Xuanqi, it is useless for Zhang Fan's goal, only by contacting for a long time can he grasp the news of the other party, and besides, Zhang Fan thinks so, but the other party also thinks so, after all, the other party is the same as him, and there are many things he wants to know, and it is definitely not something that can be sent away in one or two clicks.
Since both sides are willing, then why push back and forth so pretendiously, since the other party has proposed it, it is simply agreed, there is no face-saving issue here.
Therefore, after Zhang Fan ordered the people below to pack up their things, he called Joanna and went to the palace with the Zhao guards who came to the palace, by the way, the guards surnamed Zhao came to the post house to invite Zhang Fan, they had been prepared, and when Zhang Fan walked out of the gate of the post house, he saw the two gorgeous carriages parked in front of the door, obviously, this Zhu Xuanqi had already been prepared.
Now that everything is ready, Zhang Fan has no intention of refusing, otherwise, it would not be a good thing to refute the prince's face.
In fact, after Zhang Fan and others got into the carriage, they had not had half a pillar of incense, and they had already entered the boundary of Shu Wangfu, but this is far from enough, it will take a long time to arrive, and the reason is that it is really because of the Shu Palace, which is too big.
This Shu Palace, can be said to have been a long time, that year, Hongwu eleven years, Zhu Yuanzhang sealed his seven-year-old son Zhu Chun as the king of Shu, guarding the southwest, three years later, Hongwu fourteen years, Zhu Yuanzhang is sent Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen and others rushed to Chengdu, presided over the construction of this gorgeous Shu Palace.
Nine years later, that is, the twenty-third year of Hongwu, this magnificent palace was completed, and this Shu palace, from the date of its completion, until now, even in the era of Zhang Fan's original, until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and then more than two hundred years after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the feudal system completely disappeared, it is also the most magnificent one of all the palaces, which is why, in Chengdu Mansion, the people do not call this place the palace or the royal city, but directly call it the "imperial city".
Chengdu Fuzhong, the Shu Wangfu is sad and the east and west of the imperial river, is the red wall, east to the Donghua Gate, west to the Xihua Gate, the total length is nearly five miles, covering an area of 38 hectares, and it is not just by the huge volume, the building in it, after several generations of the King of Shu enjoy the rich life of this southwest land, and constantly transform, it can be comparable to the imperial city of the capital.
In short, it can be said that the person who can sit on the throne of the King of Shu and enjoy this royal city originally shows how great the power of his subordinates is, although Zhang Fan has already seen the magnificence of the Forbidden City, and even if he has never seen this Shu Palace, he has a lot of understanding, but when he personally entered this place, and saw these things, coupled with the explanation of the Zhao guard on the side, he still couldn't help but be shocked.
Where is this royal palace, it is not much better to use it as an imperial city.
As for Joanna on the side, she was simply stunned, she also glanced at Zhang Fan, when she came to the Ming Dynasty before, she was the messenger of the Buddha Machine, and naturally she had seen the Forbidden City, although she was also very surprised at that time, but after all, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was so vast, so in Joanna's view, the emperor who commanded such a large country could act as a huge imperial city of the Forbidden City, but it was understandable.
However, what Joanna is looking at now is a royal city, and if it is changed to Europe, it can be said that it is a castle of a certain prince of a country, although the name is different, but the meaning is exactly the same.
But the meaning is the same, but what is presented in front of you is completely different, for Joanna, after the Forbidden City is surprised, there will also be a sense of inevitability, but the one in front of you, let alone a prince or something, even in Europe, the emperor of any country has no way to have such a palace complex.
And how many fiefs are there under the rule of King Shu, although those are big, but they can't be imagined, but the one in front of her is really presented in front of her eyes.
"Lord Zhang, I'm sorry for taking a long detour," Zhao Huwei explained to Zhang Fan on the side, "The prince specially explained, let Lord Zhang take a look at the Shu Palace, this is no way, you have to detour to the south gate to enter, this is not the imperial city after all, so there is no rule of not riding a horse and driving, but it is a lot more convenient, just quit the past is the carrier gate, and then the front is the carrier hall, and then the back is ......
"Originally, the prince wanted to see Lord Zhang in the carrier hall, after all, it is the place where the prince manages his daily affairs, but it is a little too solemn, not to mention, the prince, the third lady, and the family of the third lady all want to thank Lord Zhang in person, so I changed to see Lord Zhang in the Zhaoming Palace, which is the residence of the prince, and the scenery is chic, don't look at this cold winter wax moon, but there are strange flowers blooming in it, it is really elegant, the prince wants to see the lord there,"
"This ...... The prince is bothered, Zhang Fan is really ashamed to be it," Zhang Fan also said.
However, although he said such a thing, Zhang Fan's heart still kept thinking, what did Zhu Xuanqi mean by doing this, if it was just to get closer to the relationship, this move was indeed good, if it was a different person, he was suddenly treated like this by the King of Shu, and even invited into the residence to meet, it was indeed a feeling of flattery, maybe under this feeling, he couldn't think of anything unusual at all, and he was suddenly taken by others.
However, Zhang Fan is not like this, after all, he came this time, but he wanted to set Zhu Xuanqi down, although Zhu Xuanqi could guess this point, but there are some things that Zhu Xuanqi does not know, that is, when the Empress Dowager Li planned this whole thing, Zhang Fan did not join from the later stage, and he was planning this matter with the Empress Dowager Li from the beginning.
As for Zhang Fan, if he can't succeed in setting up a trap for Zhu Xuanqi, then Zhang Fan himself will be in trouble, and this trouble is not the kind of trouble that is scolded twice, or demoted two levels, etc., after all, Zhang Fan can be said to be the one who planned to assassinate Zhu Yijun, and the Empress Dowager Li has evidence in hand, if Zhang Fan can't finish what the Empress Dowager Li explained, it is difficult to guarantee that the Empress Dowager Li will not bite him back.
At that time, the charge of assassinating the emperor will be counted on Zhang Fan's head, in that case, Zhang Fan is a little unimaginable, so, for the current Zhang Fan, what kind of shock and the like, Zhang Fan can not have any sense of trance at all, and the current Zhang Fan will always be extremely sober.
Speaking of which, if he's not careful, it's his head that moves, and nothing can compare to his own head.
In front of the Zhaoming Palace, Zhao Escort took Zhang Fan and others to get out of the car and walked in, here is indeed as Zhao Escort said before, gorgeous, just entered a cemetery, although the scale is not as good as the royal mausoleum in the capital, but the climate here, plus there are a lot of strange flowers and plants in the garden that are rare even in the capital, it really makes people feel like they are in a fairyland, if they are changed to the capital, at this time, it has already been covered by heavy snow, where will there be such a scene.
The small bridge on the side of the water, although the lack of birds, the fragrance of flowers wafts, but it is not like the cold winter wax moon general climate, it is really enjoyable.
Although Zhang Fan's purpose for coming here is very clear, but even so, the scenery in front of him is really amazing, not to mention Joanna, even the several Beijing officials who came with Zhang Fan were all shocked by the scenery in front of them, not to mention Joanna, a European who had never seen such a scene.
Although it has not yet reached the exaggerated situation of enjoying flowers in winter, it is surprising that you can still see flowers in the depths of winter.
And the Zhao guard on the side, when he saw Zhang Fan and others like this, he didn't have any sarcasm, and his face was also proud, after all, he was not surprised when he saw the appearance here, that is the problem.
"Lord Zhang, my lords, please come here," After waiting for a while, Zhao Huwei said, "The prince is already waiting for you,"
"It's rude," Zhang Fan replied, "The scenery here is really an eye-opener for us, and I can't help but be stunned, and look at Haihan, since I'm here, I can't let the prince wait, it's too rude, and I ask Zhao Escort to lead the way,"
"In this way, please come here," with that, Zhao Escort took Zhang Fan and the others towards a palace in front.
And Zhang Fan understands that now, he is finally going to see the main master,
