Chapter 129 Everything is ready
Wei County.
A long time ago, there was a state called Wei here, which has disappeared in the long river of history. Fifteen years ago, Emperor Xianzong conferred the title of King of Wei here.
In fact, not much has changed. To the north of Wei County is Qishan Mountain, and to the south is Weishan Mountain. Wei County is a piece of mountain, a little bit uncontested and ordinary. Except for the Weiwang Mansion built in the north of the county a few years ago.
The Prince Wei's Mansion is truly magnificent! It opened the eyes of the people of Wei County in peace, although they were not allowed to enter.
Now, it is said that the King of Wei is going to save his country, and everyone may be able to see it. Although it is said that the King of Wei fought all the way here, what does it have to do with the Wei Kingdom? There are more people in front of the palace, and people come from time to time, especially some idle people.
Prince Wei’s Palace is very big!
In order to build the palace, the county wall was demolished and a street was remodeled. A piece of land next to the state government office became an open space in front of the palace. The palace was behind the state government office, about half the size of the county, and with some other things, the area of the county was almost twice as large. However, the palace was not for ordinary people to visit.
The place where everyone can hang out is in front of the palace. This is also because the Prince of Wei has not arrived yet, and the supervision is not so strict.
The gate of the palace is five rooms wide, which is incomparable to the provincial or county government offices, as the level difference is too great.
The main door was closed and the side door was also closed most of the time.
A few thugs came to the side door and wanted to sneak in to take a look.
One of the boys was very timid and didn't dare to approach the palace.
The other fat-headed and big-eared man was very courageous. He puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Do you know our aunt? She is the young mistress of the Yuan family."
A dandy said disdainfully: "The Yuan family is nothing! This Wei County's surname is Yin! Others are like dragons coiling up for me, and tigers lying on their stomachs for me!"
The side door opened and several monks came out.
A group of people squeezed in, but were driven out by the Tiger Guards.
The dude was furious and asked, "Who dares to touch me?"
The Huben Guards ignored him.
Several monks chanted: "Amitabha."
The Tiger Guards ignored him. They were busy.
Inside, Eunuch Lu, the chief steward of the palace, was making final preparations, waiting for Prince Wei to return.
Eunuch Lu was in his fifties, thin, and had a Taoist look, very unlike any other eunuch. He was wearing his official uniform, and the strict rules had seeped into his bones. And because this was not the palace, he could be a little more relaxed, and he was very free to do what he wanted.
He was followed by some eunuchs, some of whom came from the palace, and some of whom were recruited here, but there were not many of them.
Yan Zhong is in his thirties. He has been following Eunuch Lu since he was in the palace. Over the past few decades, he has learned a lot from Eunuch Lu.
Eunuch Lu watched Yan Zhong and his men working. He felt the spring breeze and looked at the palace with deep emotion.
As he got older, Eunuch Lu would always think of Emperor Xianzong and the time when the prince was a child. Sometimes he thought he would never see the prince return, but he never expected the prince to come back. It was a bit reckless, but what did it matter?
Eunuch Lu felt a little distressed, but as long as the prince was fine, his sympathy for others was limited.
The prince's palace is very similar to the imperial palace, divided into front and back. The front is the yamen and the back is like the harem.
The Chengyun Hall, Yuan Hall, and Cunxin Hall in front were all built according to the rules, and Eunuch Lu didn't care about it for the time being. He was more concerned about the rest of the prince after he came back.
The back is very large. In addition to the main hall, Yanchun Hall, there is a large garden and a temple.
A group of monks in the temple were making a lot of noise, not looking like they were practicing at all, and even wanted to give orders to the palace.
At first, the Empress Dowager wanted to build a bigger temple, bigger than the one in the Prince Wei's mansion in the capital, and even wanted to build the mansion according to the temple. Eunuch Lu and Lord Yuan reasoned with the Emperor that if they did so, it would be forcing the Prince Wei to become a monk. Moreover, there was Yunyin Temple on the Wei Mountain, which cost the State of Wei tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.
Fortunately, the emperor was more reasonable and more reliable than the empress dowager. Eunuch Lu did not care about those monks. It was not appropriate for him to care because they were invited by the empress dowager. However, knowing what the emperor did to Prince Wei, Eunuch Lu was not sure how deep the emperor's feelings for Prince Wei were.
But Eunuch Lu had a very good impression of the Yun family who helped Prince Wei. This not only required settling the prince, but also the Yun family.
If the Yun family did not want to live in the palace, he also prepared two houses outside.
There is a large area outside the palace for the officials and their families to live in.
For example, the family of Wang Fu, the family of the Tiger Guards. There are many vacancies in the palace. They are probably all the people of the King of Wei.
Even if the Yun family does not serve the King Wei, they can stay temporarily.
There is also a Wuzhi Inn in the county town, with several courtyards reserved. Eunuch Lu made very thoughtful preparations.
A young eunuch came running like a gust of wind, and then stopped steadily in front of Eunuch Lu, and replied: "Many people came from Danyang County to ask for help from those masters."
Eunuch Lu didn't take it seriously. Monks are just like that. Yunyin Temple is not clean either.
The prince's tutor is not easy to manage, and Eunuch Lu is not easy to manage either. The prince must come.
The young eunuch was very curious about the prince.
Many people in the palace were curious, and most of them had never seen the prince.
In the side hall of Chengyun Hall, Yuan Dingchen was extremely busy.
Prince Wei caused so much trouble that perhaps the emperor doesn't have to clean up the mess, but Yuan Dingchen will have to do it.
Yuan Dingchen was the tutor of Prince Wei, and it was his job to teach Prince Wei. Prince Wei was still young and had not yet received his apprenticeship, so the master demonstrated it himself. Prince Wei's mansion was in great need of staff, so the tutor had to roll up his sleeves and join in.
Although Yuan Dingchen is over fifty years old, he still looks young like the right prime minister. His hair is thick. He has been idle these years, and he has written a lot of small books. Now his hair is a little messy because the King of Wei didn't even say hello to him.
Although Yuan Dingchen likes to stir up trouble, like many others, he was caught off guard by the King of Wei. Now it depends on who can stir up trouble faster.
A boy came to Master Wang and said, "Master Chengxu said he wants to discuss something important with Master Wang."
Yuan Dingchen replied, "Can't you see I'm busy? If you have something to do, go and recite the sutras."
The boy chuckled and said, "I heard that those people went to see Miss Yun, and that's what Miss Yun said."
Yuan Dingchen stopped, became interested, and asked, "What did Miss Yun say?"
The boy responded, "Miss Yun said that you might as well go and ask the Bodhisattva for help. They actually came. These Bodhisattvas really dare to take over."
Yuan Dingchen was only interested in Miss Yun. He would talk about it after they met. He was not interested in anything else, so he continued to be busy.
There was a lot of noise outside Chengyun Gate.
The boy is here to help, so that they can live a few more days. While thinking, the Queen Mother, really...
To the north of Weijiang River, Jinliu Village has been almost cleaned up.
King Wei stood at the side of the hall and watched. Everything that could be transported had been transported back to Wei, but the hall had not yet been demolished.
Zhao Yun watched and decided to tear it down. He followed the prince to meet the Yun family.
In this yard, the Yun family and the Zhu family have both cleaned up.
Prince Wei entered the room and said to Old Man Yungen, "Eunuch Lu has made all the arrangements. Where do you plan to stay?"
Yun Gen responded, "We want to stay in the city for a few days and look for a suitable place in the mountains. If we find one, we will leave."
King Wei nodded.
Yun Zhang watched from the side.
King Wei said to her, "I will practice tonight."
What does Yun Zhang think? Should he try to see if the technique is useful before deciding whether to give her a place?
