In Sichuan in early August, there was a bit of tranquility amidst the chaos. The palace of the Prince of Shu was in full bloom and continued to maintain a luxurious scene.
Even though the war was raging, the Prince of Shu's palace still maintained a scale of hundreds of people. The eunuchs and maids maintained the operation of the palace.
Just when Zhu Yixi was thinking about whether it should be abolished, a girl was sent to his room.
The girl wears a milky white dress close to her body, revealing her beautiful figure. The pink belly band wraps around her fair neck, and her tall and full curves are thrilling and eye-catching.
On the outermost side, there is a hazy, translucent little coat, like a cloak, tight and graceful.
Although the girl's face was open, she looked innocent and ignorant, her eyes were bright and pitiful, but she also had a plump and seductive body, which formed a huge contrast.
Childlike face with gathered breasts, nothing more than that.
"What's your name?"
Zhu Yixi usually doesn't speak falsely to women, but who knows that this time is an exception.
Her beauty is no less than that of Miaoxian.
"Little girl Huang Jie'er!"
The girl said tremblingly, with a little fear on her innocent face.
Because her clothes were thin, she couldn't help but shrink down, but the fullness made her look even bigger.
"call--"
Take a deep breath.
Zhu Yixi forced himself to endure it. He looked around for a while, then raised the girl's chin with his right hand. Looking at her pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but smile:
"I can't eat you recently. I'll wait until we get to Xiangyang."
Huang Jie'er was stunned, not knowing why.
"Somebody come!"
Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice.
"Master, are you still satisfied?"
Yang Le, the eunuch in charge of the palace, asked flatteringly.
"It's considered thoughtful."
Zhu Yixi looked at his respectful attitude and had some calculations in her heart.
The Ming Dynasty was different from the Qing Dynasty. Regardless of whether they were princes or princes, there were eunuchs and eunuchs in their residences, such as Zheng He, King Zhu Di of Yan, and Wang Chengen, King Xin Zhu Youjian.
Therefore, there will still be people in his mansion in the future, most likely the informants rewarded by Nanjing.
He had no ill feelings towards the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, and they were not able to decide who would own the throne like the Tang Dynasty.
Furthermore, the female official system may sound good, but in fact it is full of mistakes.
The most obvious one is that the French court is like a hornet's nest.
The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were more of political assistants. They played a great role whether they were guarding eunuchs or in the palace.
"As long as His Highness is satisfied, this is what a slave should do."
Yang Le smiled hurriedly.
Glancing at the timid girl, he was extremely happy. This move was indeed correct.
"As the general manager, you should be familiar with the Shu clan. Tell them that the Shu clan has been deposed. In the future, they will no longer be issued clan salaries, let alone clan registration. They can each find a way to survive."
Zhu Yixi ordered calmly.
"My slave understands!"
Yang Le was shocked and hurriedly responded.
"I can't live in Prince Shu's Mansion. If you are willing, I will take you to Xiangyang."
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
Only then did Yang Le become truly happy. He hurriedly handed over his hands and said, "This slave has been waiting for his whole life. He has no other talents. He is used to serving others. After leaving the palace, he can only wait for death. Now that His Highness has taken him in, it is no less than giving us a life." A way to survive.”
Seeing how pitiful he said, Zhu Yixi only believed half of it.
Simply, he waved his hand and said, "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."
After saying that, Zhu Yixi glanced at the innocent and seductive Huang Jie'er, and then added: "When I am in Sichuan, I will not do anything fancy."
"My slave understands!" Yang Le nodded hurriedly.
After His Highness King Hanyang left, he hurriedly came to the girl and said excitedly: "My little ancestor, it was indeed right to invite you here."
He turned around a few times, with a smile on his face: "You will be well taken care of in these few days, and your family should not worry, good days are ahead!"
Huang Jie'er's face was full of complexity.
She was ready to devote herself, but now she was neither up nor down, and had to go to Xiangyang. How difficult it was!
…
But he said that since Zhu Yixi entered Sichuan, he has basically been traveling upstream along the Yangtze River.
He opened the road in front, and behind him were the merchants from Huguang and Shaanxi. They followed him to open up the trade route, which was a great convenience.
When he arrived in Chengdu, a large number of merchants were occupying territory in Chongqing City and collecting the specialties of eastern Sichuan. They were very happy.
In a sense, it also represents the interests of Shaanxi businessmen.
Just when everyone was rejoicing, suddenly, several cavalrymen swept over the official road.
"Good news, good news, the King of Hanyang has regained Chengdu and defeated the Western bandits——"
"Good news, good news, the King of Hanyang has regained Chengdu and defeated the Western bandits——"
Merchants on the roads and merchants in the towns were overjoyed when they heard the news.
"His Royal Highness King Hanyang, you are truly victorious in every battle!"
"We read that right, Sichuan will be our territory from now on."
The gentry in eastern Sichuan were even more excited and worried.
The prosperity of King Hanyang meant the decline of the Nanjing court. The branches were strong but the trunk was weak. This was not a good sign.
But everyone was still realistic and sent gifts and letters one after another without delaying their flattery.
As the Yangtze River flowed down the river, the news of Lubu's victory, the defeat of the Western bandits, and the recovery of Sichuan soon spread throughout Huguang.
Xiangyang learned the news immediately.
"Sister, brother-in-law won, brother-in-law really won."
The damselfly was jumping around, her chubby little face full of joy.
Sun Xueniang also smiled happily, and she said reservedly:
"Your Highness is far-sighted and never fights an unprepared battle. Victory is definitely deserved."
On the side, Miao Xian sat with her long and round legs together, her chest rising and falling, and she said happily: "Blessed and infinite, His Highness regained Sichuan and saved the lives of many people."
"Miss Miaoxian, His Highness will be back soon. By then, we will be a family."
Xue Niang couldn't help but tease.
Miaoxian heard this and became shy.
The damselfly's eyes were full of envy when she heard this.
At this time, the Military and Political Department received the news.
Zhao Shu nodded and ordered: "Your Highness will bring back five million taels of gold and silver to cover our consumption. Hu Cao must count it without making any mistakes."
"Yes!" Hu Cao responded.
"Li Cao, Your Highness has regained Sichuan. It is no longer suitable for him to be a county king. It is inevitable for Jin to be crowned a prince. You need to spread the word, build momentum, and force Nanjing."
Hearing this, Li Cao couldn't help but ask: "What's your title?"
"It's best to be one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. If that doesn't work, just ask for a lucky name."
Zhao Shu thought for a while and said: "As long as the title is not too bad, what I want is a title that is close to the vassal. Your Highness doesn't care about such trivial details."
In addition, Zhao Shu thought for a while and continued: "Contact King Rui, King Qin, and King Yongxing, and ask them to personally submit a letter to Nanjing to ask for credit for His Highness."
"After all, if Nanjing really pretends to be deaf and mute, we can't let them go. We have to expose them."
