Seven hundred and thirty seventh chapter Zhongshan Palace

"This is the residence of the King of Zhongshan. Before the Ming Taizu became emperor, he wanted to give the residence to the King of Zhongshan Xu Da. The King of Zhongshan would not accept it. So the Ming Taizu used the Guandi Temple opposite the mansion as the basis to build a new mansion and build a garden. This is where the military master might as well live here. If there is a more suitable residence, the military master can tell the officials and let the officials go and arrange it." Zhang Yandeng led Chu Yun and others to the former Zhu Yuanzhang's Wu Mansion.

The rockery in the courtyard is steep and steep, with strange peaks and ridges, quiet and elegant buildings and ponds, and the waters of the mountains and rivers are complementary, with flowers, shrubs and vines planted in the streams.

Chu Yun and everyone were in the Zhongshan Palace, and they couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the Jiangnan gardens. In particular, Chu Yun knew that this was the Zhanyuan of later generations, and the Zhanyuan at this time was even more grand without the war.

"It is said that Jiangnan is a gentle place. Here, "one punch generates mountains, one spoonful of water" is indeed well-known. If you stay in Jiangnan for a long time, you may not want to go to other places." Chu Yun said amazement.

"What mountain? What water?" asked Goya, a guest who followed Chu Yun, in confusion.

Zhang Yandeng, an old scholar who is well-read about poetry and books, knew the allusions: "The Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Zhi's "Qiuliang Tie" says, 'A stone with one punch takes the hardness, and a spoonful of water with one spoonful of water takes the cleanness'. The military leader wanted to say that the stone in this garden was only as big as a fist, but had the momentum of mountains and steep mountains. Just a spoonful of water, but it was as vast as a lake. The military leader used allusions to summarize the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens concisely and concisely, which really made the old minister admire him."

Zhang Yandeng originally saw Chu Yun and Chen Jisheng openly discussing the ten-li Qinhuai and other things, but he thought Chu Yun was not very serious, but when he saw Chu Yun use allusions, he couldn't help but admire him.

Chu Yun was thinking in his heart that this was what he said from the work of Li Yu in the Qing Dynasty. He didn't know that a punch of stone and a spoonful of water were related to "Autumn Cold Tie"... However, Zhang Yandeng's heartfelt praising sounded very pleasant...

"If the military leader wants to settle down here, his subordinates will go down and arrange their men around the courtyard." Yu Cheng, as the captain of the guard, was not familiar with the situation in Nanjing City, and he couldn't help but feel nervous to ensure Chu Yun's safety.

Although he didn't know that someone was conspiring to rebel, Yu Cheng knew that since Chu Yun came to Nanjing City, there must be something big to deal with, and it would inevitably make some people anxious and jump to the wall. It would be bad if he sent someone to assassinate Chu Yun.

"Is there a side room here?" Chu Yun asked.

"Yes, it can accommodate hundreds of people." Zhang Yandeng said.

"Yu Cheng, Zhao Youguang, Xiao Xiuer, Goya, you guys are wronged to live in a side room. I think the environment here is elegant, so it will be convenient for you to find in the future." Chu Yun said.

"My subordinates are so scared." Yu Cheng, Zhao Youguang and other ministers said one after another.

"These two are guests coming from Yizhou. During the Eastern Wu period of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to Yizhou, leading ten thousand soldiers to Yizhou. Yizhou has been our territory since ancient times. Therefore, the safety of the two of them is also very important." Chu Yun emphasized to Zhang Yandeng intentionally or unintentionally.

"Our officials and people of the Jianghuai Administration have always been a scholar. The two girls from Yizhou will definitely be at home." Zhang Yandeng rolled his long and gray beard and promised Chu Yun.

"Military leader, do you need me to send soldiers from the Fourth Corps to the account to guard the garrison?" Xu Jisheng, the commander of the Fourth Corps, asked Chu Yun.

"Nanjing City is not a tiger's den. It has a guard battalion and the intelligence department is in it. There is no need to mobilize regular troops. But then again, I have one more thing to tell you and stay later." Chu Yun said.

"As for the order." Xu Jisheng heard that Chu Yun had something to do with him, and couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

Zhang Yandeng was even more depressed. Chu Yun said he was coming to investigate the officials of the Jianghuai Administration, but he did not say what was the matter and who was the person he was investigating. Even Zhang Yandeng, who was nearly 70 years old, thought he had a clear conscience and could not withstand the inquiries of some officials below.

After all, if you really need to investigate, there are really some officials who are not clean in their background.

The officialdom in Nanjing City was too complicated at this time. There were officials sent by the Jiuzhou Army, officials from the Chongzhen Dynasty, officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty who had passed away for a short time, the Donglin Party, the Fushe, the Jishe, the big merchants, the big landlords, and the complicated links. It can be said that this is the weakest link of the Jiuzhou Army.

When Li Zicheng was about to invade the capital, the Jiuzhou Army also transported a group of fleeing officials from the north to Nanjing, which further exacerbated the mixed nature of the fish and dragons here.

"Military Master, I don't know what you are here for this time? The officials of our Jianghuai Governor's Office suddenly heard that the military governor was coming, and they couldn't help but feel panic when we welcomed him. If the military governor can explain his purpose and make all officials relieve him, he can calm the people's hearts." Zhang Yandeng thought that after he went out, he would inevitably be questioned by the officials of the Jianghuai Governor's Office, so he asked Chu Yun for the news with a thick face.

"I'm tired from the journey, so it's not convenient to talk to you more today. I'll come to the mansion to find me tomorrow morning." Chu Yun said to Zhang Yandeng.

"Yes." Zhang Yandeng saw that Chu Yunming had already been about to reveal his voice and was in a good mood, so he bowed to Chu Yun and said, "I will leave for the time being, and my subordinates will arrange for their subordinates to come and clean up."

"No need, our guard camp will personally arrange staff for such miscellaneous tasks." Yu Cheng said.

After Zhang Yandeng left the Zhongshan Palace, there were a row of guards from the guard camp outside the palace, each fully armed.

In addition to the guards who protected Chu Yun and his group of people, there were also officials from the Jianghuai Administration. The people in Nanjing were watching outside the Zhongshan Palace. The people in Nanjing were curious whether the legendary military commander had three heads and six arms. I heard that after Chu Yun moved into the Zhongshan Palace, he passed through ten and ten to hundreds, and soon there was no room outside the Zhongshan Palace.

"You good-for-going civilians, don't block here, so as not to be regarded as evil people." Some yamen runners were maintaining order, fearing that the citizens in Nanjing would rush into the Zhongshan Palace.

When the officials of the Jianghuai Administration Office saw that the civil affairs officer Zhang Yandeng came out, they hurried over to inquire about the news from Zhang Yandeng.

"Old Zhang, did the military leader say that he would come to investigate whom or what happened? Our Jianghuai General Secretary should not have any major case, right?" Some officials didn't know if they were really afraid of something, so they asked Zhang Yandeng carefully.

"Yes, our JAC Administrator's tax was paid in full last year, and it ranked first in all provinces. People live and work in peace and contentment without natural disasters. Nothing should happen." A group of JAC Administrator's officials said angrily.

"The army leader summoned me tomorrow morning, and you will know what happened. No one of you is doing anything out of the ordinary in secret?" Zhang Yandeng saw his subordinates, and was really afraid that they would accept bribes from merchants in secret.
