Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Dingwangfu is in the imperial city.

The imperial city is different from the imperial palace.

The Imperial Palace is in the central area of ​​Tianjing City.The Imperial Palace is surrounded by the Royal River, and beyond is the Imperial City, which is a large high-end office and residential area.There are ancestral temples, Sheji altars, three provinces, six ministries and nine temples and other national highest-level administrative institutions. There are royal Changping warehouses, imperial palace guards, etc., as well as gardens for the emperor to enjoy with the people.

This is the administrative center and power center of the country.A large area with the best location and feng shui, where the palace of the king and the palace of the princess are built.

There are nine palace gates in total in the imperial palace. The main gate faces south and is called Nande Gate. There is a super large square on the entire south side. Outside the square is Nanyufang.

Walking from Nanyu Street, further south, there are two mansions built in a large area - Dingwang Mansion and Shouwang Mansion.

The two palaces, one on the left and the other on the right, seem to guard the palace.Prince Ding's Mansion is on the more honorable left side, next door to King Shou, the emperor's only brother-in-law.It shows that the two are the most trusted people of the emperor.

One of them is in charge of the Sixth Army in front of the temple, the other is in charge of the Sixth Army of the bodyguards. The two of them control the troops defending the capital. They also have to cooperate with the Gyeonggi City Defense Department and often send troops to help - to assist in the security of the entire Tianjing City, closing the city gates, Street patrolling, arresting and arresting robbers, city improvement, fire rescue, sewer dredging... There are also tasks such as climbing trees to catch disobedient children.

Functions such as public security, fire protection, urban management, door guards and babysitters are all available.

……

The Enlightenment Garden, which Chaoyang County mainly moved to, was an independent mansion that King Ding loved his daughter and forcibly carved out from Prince Ding's Mansion.

The gossip in Pingnanhou's Mansion has always been everyone's favorite, so of course we have to ask why Chaoyang moved away.The woman selling vegetables told the story of the concubine murdering the son-in-law, and then explicitly hinted, saying, "My princess is so benevolent, but he just let the concubine eat vegetarian food and practice Buddhism, and didn't even take the child away from the concubine. For the future of my only son, I will go to Dingwang Mansion to study, so that I can cultivate my young master into a talent and shine in the court of the Marquis Mansion."

All of a sudden, the gossip world in the market became lively again.

Chaoyang led his son openly, followed by a long string of carriages, almost taking away all the family belongings, and moved from Pingnanhou's mansion to the small courtyard close to the east side of Dingwang's mansion with great fanfare.

Someone mingled in the crowd and deliberately said: "Mrs. Hou Ye is going to evacuate the Hou Mansion?" This means that she seeks the private property of her husband's family to supplement her mother's family.

But immediately an insider retorted: "Nonsense, you haven't seen the time when the princess married here, it was called Shili Hongzhuang. The prince loves his daughter so much that he really emptied the palace. The shallow-skinned things, How much is such a small household worth now?"

At the very beginning, the person walked away in despair, and immediately two good men in casual clothes followed quietly...

Chaoyang's small courtyard next to the Wang's mansion is said to be a dowry courtyard, but it covers a very large area. It was originally the location of Dongyiyuan, where Princess Chaoyang lived before she got married.

When his daughter was married, King Ding generously surrounded the entire east side of his palace, which accounted for almost one-third of the area of ​​the palace, and the entire garden at the back, and built a wall to separate it. A gate was opened and two large stone lions were installed to form an independent mansion.

A vermilion plaque was also hung up, asking the emperor to nominate it with the imperial pen: "Enlightenment Garden".

Separately obtained the title deed and stuffed it into the dowry list of Princess Chaoyang.

At the time of the wedding, King Ding ignored the etiquette and personally sent Chaoyang to the Pingnan County Government Mansion together with Zhen Shizi who had not yet died at that time. He did not bless his daughter, but said a word to his daughter in front of all the guests: "It's common for my daughter of the Mu family to get married twice and thirdly. If you are not used to living here, you are always welcome to come back to Enlightenment Garden."

King Ding had great insight, and had already foreseen the not-so-good future in his daughter's determined marriage.

But it doesn't matter, his daughter doesn't worry about marrying.

Therefore, a tough daughter must have a tougher father.

King Ding's actions have not been condemned by Taoist priests, and the Daxing Dynasty has no heinous restrictions and rules on the mutilation of women. Although there are male and female defenses, women still have some human rights.

The Enlightenment Garden, which took away one-third of the area of ​​the palace, is really not too small.It is much larger than the entire Pingnan Hou Mansion whose level has been reduced.

Wang Ziguang likes to look out from the window of the carriage the most, everything feels fresh.

Fortunately, the great ancestor went through business and knew that the most important thing for a country is finance, so the emperors of all dynasties have attached great importance to "financial management". On the road of founding and building the country, businessmen have always participated in it, especially in creating a "prosperous and prosperous age". Contributed by businessmen, the Dongxingwei family, also known as the "money bag" of the fortune, once controlled half of the fortune.

Although "Scholar, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce" has been deeply rooted for thousands of years, merchants are still ranked last, but because the royal family attaches great importance to commerce and has a very relaxed business environment, the commerce of Tianjing City is very developed, and the street market is very prosperous.

There are many shops in the imperial city, the most prosperous is Mingli Street.But because there were too many people and crowded there, it was not easy to go by carriage, so I didn't go there today.Turn into the Imperial City from another avenue with fewer people, and enter the most prosperous Lijing Street in the Imperial City.

There are high-end shops on both sides of Lijing Street, such as silk shops, Jinyulou, rare and antique shops, high-end calligraphy and painting shops and so on.These high-end shops hire people to advertise, they are all more civilized and elegant, they play music and libretto, and there is no loud dance and juggling, so they are not messy and noisy.

Wang Ziguang watched excitedly all the way. The carriage turned a corner and entered a quieter street. It was very spacious and beautiful trees were planted on both sides, which looked like a green corridor.

"It's so beautiful." Wang Ziguang sighed

Chaoyang replied, "This is Wangfu Street."

"Such a beautiful place, why is there no shop?"

Chaoyang said with a smile: "There are several palaces around, and the courtyard walls of the palaces are on both sides, so no shops can be set up. There are no shops all the way to Nanyufang."

"Oh." Wang Ziguang knew that Nanyufang was the administrative center of the country, and it was all government offices. It was not surprising that there were no shops. In ancient times, officials and merchants could not be together, and merchants were cheap, and officials felt that they would lower their standards.But officials also want to eat and drink, so many peddlers walked through it, made up some catchy slang songs, and peddled along the street at the back door of the palace.

The Tsing Yi shopkeepers parading the streets were all dressed cleanly and decently.There are no beggars, because Daxing has a special free shelter.

Princess Chaoyang said: "Suo'er, when you recover, mother will take you out to Mingli Street, where it will be even more lively."

"Okay." Wang Ziguang was very happy.

Wangfu Avenue is extremely wide and very long, covered with green covers, and there are small corridors with strange stones, flowers of different colors, some more spacious places, and small bridges and flowing water... Wang Ziguang felt that his eyes were not enough, and sighed: " It's so beautiful!" The flowers, plants and trees are beautiful everywhere, and there are not many traces of artificial carvings. Compared with the neatly cut but too crafty street gardens of later generations, it is like a fairyland.

Chaoyang smiled and said: "Of course it's beautiful, this is the road that Uncle Shou Wang planned to build, and if you go further, it will lead to the Sijin Garden in Shou Wang's mansion. In the future, when I have a chance, my mother will take you to see one of the famous four scenic spots in Tianjing. "

Wang Ziguang's heart was moved by the words, and he had already begun to yearn for it...

In his previous life, he was physically weak and never left the hospital bed. He could only see various beautiful scenery from magazines and TV, and had no chance to go to various parts of the motherland to see and feel it in person.Now that he has the chance, he wants to experience everything he has never had before.

maternal love!

health!

Carefree childhood!

There is also a view of the magnificent rivers and mountains of Huaxia...

Reborn as Wang Ziguang, he seemed to be consummated in an instant.

……

All the way through Prince Ding's Mansion, Chaoyang didn't stop, just sent someone to say hello, and then brought Wang Ziguang to the Enlightenment Garden.

Wang Ziguang saw a tall and strong middle-aged man standing at the door, carrying the burden of a kneader, with a Chinese character face, steady eyes, dark complexion, he looked young but his temples were already a little white, and his whole body was washed white The Tsing Yi is not in line with the elegant and gorgeous surroundings of the palace.

Obviously he came here on purpose, and no one chased him away, which means that he is also an old acquaintance.

Wang Ziguang was very happy and asked for a big tiger.

Princess Chaoyang summoned someone, and immediately shouted: "Anyuan, is there a tiger?" Obviously they knew each other.

An Yuan picked up a burden on his shoulders and tried to be as steady as possible when he walked over. His legs were still slightly lame, but his back was straight. He clasped his fists at Princess Chaoyang with both hands: "Princess, the tiger is waiting for me to do it next time." , I only pinched a set of Eight Immortals here, and Princess He will go home."

Princess Chaoyang didn't reminisce about the old days. She wanted to pass the set of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and gave it to Wang Ziguang: "Eat less, so as not to lose my appetite for lunch."

"Eatable?" Wang Ziguang was surprised.

Ping Lan laughed beside the car and said, "This is fruit food made of glutinous rice, so you can eat it naturally." Then she went to pay the broken silver.

An Yuan smiled and waved his hand away, Chao Yang didn't insist, and nodded his thanks to him.

An Yuan sang some official dialect chants, and then he limped and walked slowly with a mask on his shoulders. He didn't look rich, but the smile on his face was only a little desolate. How miserable.

Wang Ziguang came all the way and saw that most of the ordinary people in this ancient city had relaxed expressions, full of vigor, and they were... on a date.It can be seen that the current life is actually very good, and everyone feels very satisfied.

Wang Ziguang couldn't open his mouth when he saw the face, he was a bit reluctant to eat the lifelike eight characters.

Chaoyang nodded Wang Ziguang's head lightly: "You're petty, if it wasn't for glutinous rice, I would have someone make you a hundred and eighty ones every day, so that you can eat until you are full."

Wang Ziguang was not polite, he took a bite and bit off most of the fattest Zhong Liquan's body.

Well, it tastes good, sweet, with a natural aroma of glutinous rice.

"Oh my little ancestor, eat slowly, no one will fight with you, so don't choke." Chaoyang patted Wang Ziguang on the back.

Upon hearing this, Ping Lan got into the carriage, made a hidden compartment from the wall of the carriage, and took out a silver bottle of water, which was still warm.Chaoyang took it naturally and fed it to Wang Ziguang.

Wang Ziguang followed the etiquette learned by ear and eyes during this period, maintained the noble and elegant chewing posture, swallowed the delicious noodles, drank his saliva, and asked, "Is An Yuan with An Hua?"

An Yuan's demeanor is different from other ordinary people, he looks like a soldier.

"He, Anhua, Anqing, and Anzheng were my four commanders back then. Later, Anhua stayed, and the other three were incorporated into the Imperial Army. Anyuan was transferred to the Sixth Army of the Guards. At that time, the striker’s casualty rate was always high, and his leg was injured in a mission and he retired. Because he couldn’t do heavy farm work, and he didn’t want to be supported by the palace for nothing, he made a small living in Beijing.”

Wang Ziguang frowned: "Is there no pension?"

"Yes, the imperial court has distributed quite a lot, but there are always some deductions. How much money do you get?"

"The imperial court doesn't care?"

"Of course I will take care of it, but..." Chaoyang shook his head and said, "Don't ask too much, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Wang Ziguang understands that unspoken rules and the like can't be controlled, and there is no way for them to disappear in any dynasty, even in modern times.

"Even if there is too much, it's not enough to last a lifetime. They have to make a living by themselves." Chaoyang sighed, "And they themselves don't want to wait for death for nothing, so they have to do something to be at ease. It's not just my ban." Wei, many people in the army who have retired due to injuries or illnesses make a living in the market, if you meet them, you must treat them kindly, remember?"

"remember!"

"They have been military households for generations, and their children continue to serve in the army. They are the most loyal people. If you have any inconvenience in the future, you can ask them for help."

"understood."

Originally, Wang Ziguang was just a sick young man who read more than eat and aspired to be a quiet academic master. He didn't think he was suitable to be involved in the complicated relationships and calculations of the royal family.

So he doesn't have to act too against the sky - his beautiful mother and grandfather are both quite against the sky, and he doesn't need a seven-year-old child in his early years.At present, he "has a big tree above his head, sheltering him from the wind and rain", and he just wants to be a rice bug and live happily.

Therefore, Wang Ziguang felt that his first task was to live a carefree childhood for a few days, and he couldn't care about the adult's affairs. Anyway, he would tell him if he wanted to know, and if he didn't want to know, he couldn't help asking.
