Chapter 647 : Asking to See You

Zhu Yuanzhang captured Yingtian, and in accordance with the request of civil and military officials and generals, he set up the Secretariat of Jiangnan and other places, and found the Jiangnan Shumiyuan. The Taiping Road was changed to Taiping Prefecture, and Li Xi was appointed as the magistrate of the magistrate. The Taiping Xingguoyi Marshal's Office was established, and the generals were appointed as the Grand Marshal. The emperor ordered Li Shanchang to be the capital of the General's Office, Pan Tingjian was the professor of the General's Office, and Wang Guangyang was the chief of the General's Office, and Tao An participated in the shogunate affairs, and ordered the generals to guard each gate, build cities and dredge moats, and defend.

The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yingtian Prefecture (now Shangqiu, Henan), was established twice. The Northern Song Dynasty established Yingtian Prefecture in Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan). Because the Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of Song Dynasty served as the governor of Guide in the Later Zhou Dynasty and his capital was in Songzhou, he promoted Songzhou to Yingtian Prefecture in the third year of Jingde of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty. Yingtian Prefecture was ranked as the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the 16th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led his troops to divide three groups and divided them into ten days to break Jiqing Road, and changed Jiqing Road to Yingtian. As the commander, he lived in Yingtian Prefecture.

Xiao Yun left Xuanwu District early in the morning. He first went to the residence of the Zhongshun Doctor and met Zhu Sheng. He informed him of the plan he discussed yesterday. He learned that Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang was in Yingtian. After asking where Yingtian Mansion was located, he rushed to Deng Yu's mansion and wanted Deng Yu to accompany him into the palace courtyard. However, Deng Yu went to Niuzhuji early in the morning to spy on military information. Xiao Yun had no choice but to go to Yingtian Mansion alone.

After passing Jiqing Road, I saw Yingtian Prefecture. After the construction of the Tang and Song dynasties, the entire Yingtian Prefecture can be said to be magnificent. While Xiao Yun was thinking about how to invite Zhu Sheng's plan to the mansion, he was just thinking about it and suddenly heard a shout: "Who is coming?"

Xiao Yun was shocked and looked up, but he saw that he had already stood outside the Yingtian Mansion gate without realizing it. The guard on duty saw Xiao Yun and hurried forward and shouted.

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, and soon stepped forward with a smile on his face: "This big brother, I am Xiao Yun, the sworn brother of Duke Wu. Please let this guy pass it on!"

When he heard that it was Duke Wu's sworn brother, the guard immediately became respectful, nodded and bowed to Xiao Yun, and quickly flashed into Yingtian Mansion.

Soon, the guard rushed out panting and followed an old man about fifty years old. The old man bowed his back, with a white and fat face, and hurriedly followed the guard with his court uniform.

When he rushed to Xiao Yun, the father-in-law made a series of things to Xiao Yun and said in a sharp voice: "The lower-ranking official Pan Chengfeng came to Yin to pick up the young master in the name of Duke Wu. Duke Wu told me to be treated with a gift from guests. Prince, this is the first time we have seen him in our family!"

Xiao Yun replied with a bow and said with a smile: "My father-in-law was joking!" After saying that, he raised his head and walked towards Yingtian Mansion with a swagger. Eunuch Pan hurriedly followed, and was about to enter the mansion. Xiao Yun suddenly remembered the records of later generations that after Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world, he ordered Liu Bowen, Zhu Sheng and others to resume the Han etiquette and re-enter the imperial examination. He was the most particular about the Han etiquette. He hurriedly stopped and turned his head and said, "What kind of etiquette should I do when I meet the Duke in a while?"

Eunuch Pan was extremely easy-going. After hearing Xiao Yun's words, he smiled and said, "The Duke of the Kingdom comes from the army. He usually is a brother to the generals, but he has no etiquette. The prince is a Duke's guest. This ceremony of meeting does not require three bows and nine buttons, and just hold his fists and bows?"

Xiao Yun nodded, thanked him, thought for a while and said, "Can Duke Wu be in the mansion?"

Eunuch Pan shook his head and said, "The Duke of the State has just handled military affairs in the mansion. When he heard that the young master came, he was very happy. He had just received intelligence from the soldiers in front of him, and the important matters needed to be dealt with, so he went to the left Governor General Xu to discuss military affairs. However, before leaving, he asked the villain to lead the young master to rest in the mansion and meet the young master in the study in the afternoon!"

Xiao Yun was shocked when he heard this and said in surprise: "The Duke of the State is not in the mansion... What should I do... I remembered that Xie Lanlan was still waiting for her to rescue him, and I couldn't help but feel impatient.

When Eunuch Pan saw Xiao Yun’s anxious expression on his face, he hurriedly comforted him: “Young Master, don’t be in a hurry. The Duke respects the Duke very much. I thought he would just go to General Xu’s mansion. After the official business is handled, he will definitely come to see the Duke. Since the Duke has come to the mansion, why not take a rest first and wait until the Duke comes back before making a decision?”

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Things have come to this point, but that's all!" He forced a smile out of his face, nodded at Eunuch Pan, and followed him into the mansion.

One in front and one behind, they entered the mansion, but saw the halls standing, the towers and the courtyards were scattered, Xiao Yun was dazzled, and after a while, he let out a sigh, "This place is so big!"

Eunuch Pan was originally a service of the Yuan Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Yingtian Mansion, he saw that he was very knowledgeable and eloquent, so he left him in the mansion. At this time, he heard Xiao Yun showing a look of exclamation on his face, and a smile appeared on his rich face. He shook the dust and stretched out his white fingers, and introduced the famous calligraphy and paintings to Xiao Yun one by one to the doors and windows of the palace along the way. He was already very eloquent and knowledgeable, so Xiao Yun nodded repeatedly.

"Young Master, do you know that this is the "Hidden Lotus and Golden Elf Picture" painted by Emperor Weizong of Song?" Eunuch Pan pointed to a painting on the main hall of a temple and gave Xiao Yun a surprise guidance.

Xiao Yun didn't have much research on calligraphy and painting, but he was attracted by Eunuch Pan's surprise. He couldn't help but turn his head and take a look. But he saw that the paintings were colorful, elegant and noble. A moment from static to moving, the shape was vivid and amazing: there was only one corner of the hibiscus flower on the picture, and two sparse branches were half open quietly. A golden pheasant suddenly flew to the hibiscus branch, bent the branches, breaking the tranquility. The branches and leaves were still trembling, while the beautiful golden pheasant was in a state of hibiscus.

Regardless of it, I looked back and looked up at the pair of graceful butterflies in the upper right corner, eager to try it out. The poetic paintings are all in it. This is a story between lotus, pheasant, and butterfly, but the author seems to accidentally appear a few chrysanthemums from the lower left corner, which is full of fun. It not only breaks the blank space in the lower left corner, but also gives off the atmosphere of golden autumn. It can also be used as a reference for hibiscus flowers to point out its height and lower position so that its appearance will not appear abrupt. It makes people unable to take back their eyes after taking a look.
