Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 174 Haunted House!

Zhen Shixuan said with a smile: "Let's go and see how great the emperor's grace is."

Su Yun groaned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Zhen Zhonggui, how dare you say that."

Zhen Shixuan shook his head and said, "I am here to show my favor on behalf of the emperor. Otherwise, you will understand how great the emperor's favor is. It is my dereliction of duty.

You thought the emperor just wanted to promote the Four Books, but how could a serious imperial edict from the emperor be just for this matter?
Your Majesty, I am truly thinking of you. You have carefully selected this mansion. When you were writing the preface, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat raised objections, but you still insisted.

Mr. Su, the expectations and care that the emperor has for you are extremely rare in these years. The last one made the emperor like this..."

Zhen Shixuan said in a low voice: "...It's Wang Jiefu."

Su Yun looked up suddenly.

Hey guys, what does this mean?
What? You want me to preside over the new law?

No, it’s impossible. It will take at least 20 to 30 years for a little chick like me to grow up.

Twenty or thirty years later, you, Zhao Xu, will be in your sixties or seventies, and you still want to carry out reforms... huh?

No, it is not necessarily a reform. As long as there is a torch that can be passed on, the policy will not die with the leader. So, the government is doing a favor and making the new people grateful for his kindness so that they can promote his new laws after he dies?
Or maybe... Zhao Xu felt that he was about to die and wanted to make some preparations for his son?

Well, my son’s prime minister?
"Come on, Mr. Su, I'll take you to see it!"

Su Yun had just finished his exam and taken a hot bath. He felt lazy all over and really didn't want to move. However, Zhen Shixuan was very enthusiastic and pulled Su Yun into the car.

Su Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Zhen Zhonggui, give me the address and I'll go there later, okay?"

Zhen Shixuan shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Su, do you know how precious this house is?"

Su Yun shook his head. It’s just a mansion. I have money. Can’t I buy a good house with money?

Zhen Shixuan said with a smile: "Mr. Su must think that since you are rich, you are not afraid of not being able to buy a good house, right?

You might be thinking wrong.”

Su Yun looked at Zhen Shixuan in confusion.

Zhen Shixuan said: "The Song Dynasty has been established for 120 years. Several generations of emperors have encouraged reading, and there are more and more officials in the capital.

In addition, the country was extremely wealthy, and the city of Bianliang was the most prosperous place in the world. People all over the world yearned for it, and those who had the means were proud to move into the city of Bianliang.

The city of Bianjing looks very large now, but there are not many places that are truly suitable for officials to live in, and there are many issues that need to be considered.

First, you have to live close by. This is easy to understand. After all, even if you don't go to court, you still have to go to work. If you don't live close by, you have to get up early and go to work late every day, which is too tiring.

Secondly, the environment should at least be clean and tidy, otherwise it would be meaningless to be an official. If you are married with a wife and children, you would not want to live in a place with poor security and environment, right?

So, after screening, there are only so many places to live, and these places are not just a matter of price, but mainly one carrot one pit, if you want to buy a satisfactory place, you can't buy it without spending several times the price! "

Su Yun nodded, but he didn't waver - if a problem can be solved with money, then it's not a problem.

Zhen Shixuan didn't understand what Su Yun was thinking, and said with a smile: "In fact, I should let you look for it yourself first. After you hit a wall, you will know how difficult it is to find one."

Su Yun quickly said, "The emperor is very kind, Su Yun naturally knows about it."

Zhen Shixuan shook his head and said, "You don't know. Never mind. You'll know when you get there."

The carriage rumbled on, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the destination.

Su Yun took a look and found that the location was on the left side of the extended Imperial Street, opposite to Wuxue Lane and the Taoist temple. Then this side... um, is it the residence of Empress Mingjie?

Su Yun took a look and saw that there was indeed a Zhang family oil cake next to it. It was basically certain that this was the residence of Queen Mingjie.

But of course it is not called Empress Mingjie's house at this moment, because Empress Mingjie was the wife of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and it would take several decades before that.

At present, this house is occupied by a family named Wang. Those who can live here are certainly not ordinary people.

As expected, Zhen Shixuan laughed and said, “This place was originally built during the Kaibao period when Li Houzhu of Jiangnan sent his brother Li Congshan to pay tribute to Emperor Taizu.

Taizu appointed Li Congshan as the governor of Taining Army and kept him in the capital. He also built a mansion for Li Congshan. People in Tokyo regarded him as the crown prince.

After Li Congshan died, this house was given to the Wang family. The Wang family has lived here for more than a hundred years. However, the one the emperor gave you is not this one, but the one next to it. "

Su Yun looked to the side and saw a house that was not much inferior to the Wang residence.

Zhen Shixuan said, "This house was built at the same time as the royal residence. It was also built for the prince of the enemy country who came as a hostage. It was not used later, but it was not abandoned. From time to time, people lived in it, and the repairs were very thoughtful."

Su Yun asked: "Who was the last person to live here?"

Zhen Shixuan glanced at Su Yun and said with a smile, "It was Chen Shu, the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong. Later, it was his son, Chen Zhizhong, the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Renzong."

Su Yun was shocked when he heard this and said, "Is this the place where the man beat the female slave to death and then killed his mother with an iron nail?"

This is a fucking haunted house!
Zhen Shixuan looked at Su Yun in surprise and said, "You know all about this. It happened during the Jiayou period."

Su Yun was speechless, and said quietly: "Chen Zhizhong beat his female slave to death during the Jiayou period, but Chen Shiru's iron nail murder of his mother happened in the first year of Yuanfeng. It's only been three or four years, do you think I don't know about it?"

Zhen Shixuan laughed dryly and said, "You are an expert in the interpretation of classics, and you also know that the theory of ghosts and gods is just an illusory thing. This house is in an excellent location, and it is very large. Only the prime minister or the prince can live in it. Otherwise, the secretary of the Central Secretariat cannot question the emperor.

If it weren't for the government saying that this is a haunted house and that only people with strong blood and a good understanding of the classics would dare to live there, that would have made the Zhongshu Sheren relax. "

Su Yun was a little speechless, and said: "So it was given to someone else before, and no one dared to live there?"

Zhen Shixuan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist. Come on, Mr. Su, I'll take you in to have a look."

Su Yun felt a little uneasy.

It is true that he is a person from the future, but it is precisely because he is a time traveler that he knows that matters of the soul are more than just illusory. Otherwise, how do you explain my rebirth?

In fact, even if you are a materialist, you will feel horrified when you see the place where the murder took place, especially when the female slave was beaten to death or the mother was killed with iron nails.

After all, in some suspense novels and TV dramas, ghosts who died in these two ways are all evil ghosts full of resentment!

Zhen Shixuan pulled Su Yun and was about to walk inside, but found that Su Yun didn't move at all.

Zhen Shixuan asked in surprise: "Mr. Su?"

Su Yun smiled politely and said, "Can I not want this house?"

Zhen Shixuan said with a sigh, "It's okay to disobey the order. If you really don't want it, just submit a letter of refusal. However, why don't you go in and take a look first?"

Su Yun took a breath and just looked at it. He was full of masculinity. Even if he really had a noble wife, he would get involved with Zhen Zhonggui who didn't have Ji Ji.

Su Yun followed Zhen Shixuan inside, and the doorman nodded and bowed. From the outside, you can tell that the house is home to a powerful family, but when you really go inside, you will be shocked.

Su Yun was not ignorant. In his previous life, he was also a wealthy man. He had lived in all kinds of places, including large flats, American mansions, and large villas in the countryside. He had also been to the palace and lived in Chongwenyuan. But when he entered this house, Su Yun could not help but look around.

There is no other reason. In this location, such a large and elegant house is really something that cannot be bought even if you have money.

The house is about five yards in size, beautifully decorated, and has an indescribable antique charm that will make anyone unable to take their eyes off it.

After all, this place was originally built for those princes who destroyed the country, and this is no joke.

What a pity, it’s a haunted house.

Zhen Shixuan said: "In fact, you don't have to worry too much. The monks from Daxiangguo Temple have come here to perform rituals more than once. If you are worried, you can ask them to come over and clean it again.

Moreover, you can hire more slaves and the like when the time comes. When you become popular, all the evil spirits will give in to you.

You are still a master of classics in the world. Scholars naturally have the righteousness of heaven and earth. As long as the evil spirits stay away from you, you don't need to be afraid of them."

Su Yun smiled and thought to himself, I don’t believe you at all!
Even if there are no ghosts in this kind of haunted house, it makes me feel uncomfortable!

Zhen Shi chose a drastic measure and said, "Mr. Su, this opportunity is rare and will never come back again!"

"Okay, then I'll thank the emperor for his grace!" Su Yun finally made up his mind.

It's not that I'm greedy for the house. It's mainly because the government wants to use it to test the ministers' intentions. If I turn it down, it will lose face for the government.

Su Yun confirmed: "Can you perform a ritual?"

Zhen Shixuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be there to watch over you. If anyone impeaches me, I will definitely explain it to you clearly, and the government will also know about it."

Then there is nothing to hesitate about.

When the time comes, let Ah Hui, Ah Hu and the others come and live here, and use their masculine energy to give us a boost.

At this moment, the Ah Hui and Ah Hu who were delivering ingredients for egg-filled pancakes on the street all shuddered.

Zhen Shixuan was also happy to see Su Yun agreed, and he also explained to Su Yun, "Mr. Su made the right choice.

You know, some ministers in the court don't have their own houses. Although the court has official residences, one has to queue up for them. Although you are famous, you have not yet entered the official career.

Even if you enter the officialdom, you may not be ranked higher than him. Many second and third rank officials in the court can only rent their own houses, of course the court will provide subsidies.

A house like yours can only be lived in by someone who is a man of great literary and military skills, and has made great military achievements and has been rewarded.

Do you know Daodefang? "

Su Yun nodded. He had passed by that place.

Zhen Shixuan laughed and said, "During the time of Emperor Taizu, many officials gathered in Bianjing, but the land and houses in the capital were limited after all, and so many officials had no place to live later.

Therefore, many officials had no official residence to live in, and there was even a phenomenon that the prime minister had no official residence to live in. At that time, four people lived in each of the two mansions in the east and west.

Therefore, officials who wanted to live better and had extra money would spend their own money to buy a house to live in.

For example, Li Qianpu was actually a famous general during the time of Taizu. In his later years, he began to buy houses among the people, away from the court and the public, and gave his house an elegant name - Daodefang.

It is true that your house is haunted, but if someone wants it, they can't return it!"

Su Yun felt somewhat pleased at the moment: Hehe, it seems that I still got the advantage.

Su Yun said: "When can I move in?"

Zhen Shixuan spread his hands and said, "When you received the imperial edict, this place was already yours."

"Then should we arrange for a master from Xiangguo Temple to come here in the next two days?" Su Yun said.

Zhen Shixuan smiled and said, "You can set the time yourself, and I will come to watch the ceremony then."

Su Yun heard Zhen Shixuan's intention and thought that he wanted to invite the monks from Xiangguo Temple himself. Su Yun smiled and said, "I don't know anyone from Xiangguo Temple. Can you recommend someone reliable?"

Zhen Shixuan smiled and said, "Okay, Master Puhui of Daxiangguo Temple is the best at this. I'll have someone tell them, and you can go and talk to them yourself when the time comes."

Su Yun nodded and said, "I'll go tomorrow?"

Zhen Shixuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll send someone to look for you tomorrow. Let him take you there."

Having said that, the matter is settled.

After going out, Su Yun walked across the street to see this large house which was as imposing as the residence of Empress Mingjie later on. He felt quite smug in his heart: Well, I am also considered a person who owns a house in the second ring road of Beijing!

I have to say, the welfare in the Song Dynasty was really good, hey.

Early the next morning, Su Yun had just gotten up when he heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard. When he opened the door, he saw an old acquaintance.

Su Yunxi said: "Old Ding, it's you!"

Old Ding chuckled and said, "I have a deep connection with the Su family. I originally thought that you and I would be from two different worlds and I might never see you again. Hey, this is also a coincidence. It hasn't been long since we met again!"

Su Yun burst into laughter.

The two of them went to Daxiangguo Temple together to find Master Puhui.

Master Puhui has a fat head and big ears, and at first glance he is a very busy business elite.

After listening to Su Yun's request, Master Puhui looked a little solemn and said, "I know that Chen's poor monk is not a good place!

A few times ago, my senior brothers Pu De and Pu Xu from the Great Prime Minister's Kingdom went to perform rituals. It's not that the rituals were unsuccessful, but after they came back, they both fell seriously ill for half a year. Alas, it's difficult. "

Oh, it costs money, and a lot of money.

Just as Old Ding was about to negotiate the price, Su Yun took the lead and said with a smile, "You did it twice in a row and it wasn't cleaned up. How can the ritual be considered a success?"

Zen Master Pu Hui wanted to glare at him, but when he saw Lao Ding looking at him unkindly, he suddenly became a little depressed and said, "This kind of thing has too much resentment. It has to be polished for years. If it weren't for the people from the Imperial City Bureau coming here, I would definitely not take this kind of work. It will shorten my life!"

Su Yun smiled and said, "Then give me a price?"

Master Puhui held up two fingers and said, "Two hundred strings of cash, please don't think it's too much. This is for the sake of the Imperial City Department."

Su Yun raised his foot and walked out.

Damn it, it’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that it’s embarrassing!
