King Yi Zhu Cixi is now twenty-seven years old. He has only inherited the throne for ten years, so he is considered to be in his prime.
During the Chongzhen period, there were only thirty-two princes, but after becoming Xianzong, the succession of Prince Yi was very stable.
Naturally, King Yi, who had been entrenched in Jianchang Prefecture for more than a hundred years and was young and vigorous, had the idea of regaining the land of the Ming Dynasty and restoring the country.
And at this time, as Emperor Hongguang was captured, all the kings in the world were ready to take action, and when the people were impetuous, the civil and military officials of Jianchang Mansion were greedy for merit, which contributed to the situation of King Yi supervising the country.
Compared with proclaiming the emperor, supervising the country is more strategic, as you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.
Being in Jiangxi, King Yi and all the civil and military officials knew the strength of King Yu better, but what if it happened?
If it doesn't work, why don't we just push out King Yi?
"You are harming me!"
King Yi had a square face and helpless eyes, pointing at a group of kneeling officials, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
"I don't want to go to Fengyang!"
This sigh from the heart made the officials feel sad.
Fengyang High Wall has been a nightmare for the kings since the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di continued to develop it, making the kings extremely afraid.
Imprisoned, died alone, and beaten severely, Lao Zhu's family was also extremely cruel to him.
After all, King Yi was young and very frightened.
The palace is much larger than Fengyang.
Seeing that King Yi's lips were trembling and his face turned pale with fright, Wang Yu, the prefect of Jianchang, had no choice but to console him:
"Your Highness, please relax. King Yu has always had a good reputation and treated the people well. Many vassals lost their land thanks to his relief. I don't think he will embarrass you."
"Yeah?"
Feeling somewhat relieved, King Yi sighed, stood up tremblingly, and smiled with difficulty:
"Nanjing is restored, and the Ming Dynasty is not far away from being revived again. I will take the first step and hope you will have a good life."
"I thank you, Your Highness!"
The officials looked ugly and knelt down one by one.
It’s really sad that the meritorious service of Conglong is gone and may be remembered for the rest of his life.
As for the prefect of Jianchang, Wang Yu, his expression was even uglier than that of his dead mother.
Others can forgive him, but his future is definitely in jeopardy.
"Your Highness, doesn't the Prince of Tang in Fuzhou also supervise the country?"
"Prince Tang?"
When King Yi heard this, he was startled, and then showed a smile: "Yes, he can't run away either."
Finally having a companion, he felt inexplicably relieved.
The vassal of Shuzong, after Taizu, dared to supervise the country. He was really audacious and did not know whether to live or die.
Until this time, King Yi was still angry and resentful towards the king of Tang for supervising the country, and felt a great shame.
You are not from the Chengzu lineage, yet you dare to supervise the country on your own?
…
Xiangyang, Zhang family residence.
Ever since he was still a guerrilla general in Hanzhong and was despised and jealous for offering two daughters, Zhang Qi's business has been booming.
Although Shaanxi businessmen are united, compared with other provinces, the internal competition within them is also extremely fierce.
And as soon as he hooked up with General Xiao Zhu, everything went smoothly in the business world, and he had a hand in Sichuan's brocade, salt, grain, etc.
Moreover, in just three or four years, he became the first deputy businessman in Shaanxi, with high moral character and high respect.
Within Shaanxi merchants, many people have compared him to Lu Buwei.
With the rapid rise of King Yu's power, this kind of rumor spread even more widely.
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Qi wore a sapphire blue brocade robe, gold-rimmed deerskin boots, and a silver ribbon around his waist. He slapped the table with his big hands, and his eyes were almost ready to spit fire:
"Your sister is going to give birth next month. How can we let such rumors go unchecked?"
"What do you brothers do to show up at this time?"
Looking at his two sons who were overindulging in lust and timidly retreating, Zhang Qi shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately, I gave birth to a pair of good daughters, otherwise this family business will be ruined by you sooner or later——"
When brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Cheng heard this nonsense, they couldn't help but curl their lips:
If it weren't for your sisters, how would you have such a big business?
Thinking of their family business, the two brothers couldn't help but feel excited.
In a few years, the current net worth has increased to one hundred thousand, which has increased several times. The annual business income is ten thousand taels, which is also among the top among Shaanxi businessmen...
Suddenly, the two brothers looked at each other, and there was a spark in their eyes: this is their future opponent.
Seeing these two useless sons, Zhang Qi could only admit defeat.
But it's okay, it's not easy to be a relative of the emperor. If there is someone who is really motivated, he is really afraid that his descendants will not be safe.
"Dad, what do you think our sisters would do if they gave birth to a son?"
The eldest brother Zhang Wei whispered curiously, but his thoughts were still unfinished.
"A country has its own ancestral system!"
Zhang Qi pretended to be calm and said displeasedly: "You and I can't bear to worry about this kind of thing."
Even so, his heart suddenly became hot and restless.
The emperor's grandfather and the feudal prince's grandfather are not the same thing.
Although the hereditary title of relatives was abolished during the Jiajing period, rewards continued to be given to commanders, thousands of households, and hundreds of households.
For ordinary businessmen, a hereditary commander of the Imperial Guard is enough to keep the family together for two hundred years.
The father and son's thoughts were all over the place, and they all thought of the prince and the title at the same time.
"Sir, there is news from Nanjing——"
At this time, the servant ran over out of breath and said intermittently.
"What?"
The father and son were shocked.
…
At this time, in Prince Yu's Mansion, Princess Sun Xueniang was drinking tea.
She wears a light yellow floral long coat on the upper body, and a dark blue skirt on the lower body, with a skirt that matches the top.
Appropriate shades, elegant but not luxurious, very elegant.
Beside, a damselfly in a light red short coat and white skirt was sitting with her, unable to bear the loneliness, her watery eyes moving wildly, her round face not looking thin, looking playful and cute.
"Wow wow wow——"
Suddenly, a baby's cry was heard inside, and Xue Niang got up in a hurry.
The damselfly also got up to accompany him.
"What's wrong with Qing'er?"
Sun Xueniang asked anxiously.
"Just hungry!"
The nurse held it in her arms, opened the button, took out the stuff that was so full that it overflowed, and brought it to the baby's mouth.
The five-month-old Qingnu has grown plump, cute and lovable.
The damselfly's gaze is on the wet nurse's mountain, which is as tall and trembling as a mountain. It is amazing and makes people want to play.
"If I were like this, how much would my brother-in-law like me?"
she thought to herself.
I heard that all the literati like small and exquisite ones, but my brother-in-law likes big ones, which is strange.
At this time, a palace maid came quickly with joyful steps.
"Mother, there is news from Nanjing!"
"How to say?"
Sun Xueniang's chest began to rise and fall, her breathing became rapid, and she stared at the person intently.
"Your Highness wins a great victory——"
"call!!!"
Sun Xueniang couldn't sit up, with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, brother-in-law wins!" The damselfly on the side jumped up, showing her liveliness.
"It's your husband!" Sun Xueniang corrected.
"Yes!" Sun Damiang stuck out her short tongue and agreed dissatisfiedly.
"Pass me to order that everyone in the house will receive half a year's monthly salary!"
Sun Xueniang happily ordered.
