As soon as Li Yuan, Zhu Cixuan and his party passed the naturalization pass between Jinpingbao and Songpanwei, the originally sunny weather changed color, the spring rain kept falling, and the long-dilapidated road became muddy. Too bad. Moreover, the temperature has also dropped sharply. The Songpan Plateau has a high altitude and is located far north. It also encounters the climate of the Little Ice Age. Even in the spring, once it rains, it is still a bit cold.
Because it was raining and the road was slippery, Li Yuan wanted Zhu Cixuan to return to Huaguan to rest for a few days and force the rain to stop. However, this idiot prince was unexpectedly not afraid of hardship and tiredness and volunteered to rush on the road in the rain. It turned out that he wanted to see Li Dingguo as soon as possible, declare Zhu Cixiang's decree, and then return to Nanjing to pay filial piety to Emperor Chongzhen... After knowing that the Xipu Palace was not his property, the Luoshan County Prince faced Chongzhen. When he went to the emperor, his attitude became more submissive.
The house in Xipu is his lifeblood! That lot, that area, at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Moreover, Xipu has already broken through the wall and opened a shop. There are hundreds of shops to collect rent, and the net income is tens of thousands taels a year.
With this income, he, the idiot prince, can live a comfortable life!
Although he had worked hard when he was a child, he was forced to learn literature and martial arts by his mother, Concubine Hu, who hoped to have a successful son. He also imagined that he would become a heroic prince on the battlefield like his third brother (Zhu Cijiong) and fourth brother (Zhu Cizhao). .
However, after entering middle school, due to the negligence of his mother, Concubine Hu (Concubine Hu gave birth to several more children for Chongzhen, which she could no longer control), he became very playful and his academic performance plummeted. Neither the martial arts academy nor the naval academy were admitted. I couldn't even get into a "private university" like Donglin University, and ended up becoming a scumbag who graduated from middle school. He didn't dare to think about being in the officialdom, so he just wanted to be a small charter king...
But Emperor Chongzhen is a "poor dad". His financial situation has become worse and worse in the past two years, and all his money has been invested in the bottomless pit of the Kingdom of Luzon... Zhu Cixuan is worried! I'm afraid that my "poor dad" will be so poor that he takes Xipu back and he will be in misery!
Without Xipu, all that is left is a remote and ugly palace and 3,000 acres of thin farmland... I will not be able to live in the future!
So now he wanted to coax Emperor Chongzhen into transferring the ownership of the house in Xipu as early as possible... Before leaving Yingtian this time, he quietly went to Ji Tieji's lawyer's office for consultation. The result is the same as what the sixth charter king said! The emperor's decree written in black and white can be changed. As long as it has not been transferred, the old man can change it whenever he wants! He will have nothing by then!
Therefore, Zhu Cixuan doesn't think about anything now. He just wants to finish the work quickly and go back to make his father happy... He is not afraid of even a little drizzle and even hail!
Even though he is an out-and-out idiot, the current trend among the powerful and powerful in Yingtian is martial arts, and "military quality education" is also popular. As a beautiful idiot and a dude who knows how to play, he must be proficient in polo, archery, fencing, and musketry, otherwise he will be looked down upon... He can’t even play, and he is not qualified to be a idiot or a dude. What a waste!
And if you want to play polo, archery, fencing, and musket play well, can you be afraid of hardship and fatigue? No way! If you don't practice hard, how can you be a qualified idiot?
Don’t you want to play if it’s windy or rainy? Are you exhausted after playing for two or three hours a day? cant! How can you be called a dandy if you don't play around in the dark?
So Zhu Cixuan now put on his bamboo hat and raincoat, almost walking side by side with Li Yuan. The cold wind mixed with rain hit his face, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
On the other hand, Li Jinxue, the deputy chief secretary of the Xichuan Jiedushi who came with Zhu Cixuan, was so tired that he lay on his horse and hurried away - you can't blame him for being useless. If you are really good at riding and archery, it's all "boy skills" ". The cost of practicing on the grassland is not a problem, but it is very expensive for people in farming areas to practice! Not to mention that Li Jinxue's family had long been in ruins under the rule of Dashun Dynasty. Even if it was not in ruins, it would not be able to afford such expenses.
Driving all the way from Chengdu, Li Jinxue was so tired that his legs were numb, and his buttocks were in terrible pain. His legs were weak and he couldn't hold the horse down, so his butt suffered. It was bumpy all the way, and he was saddled all the way. "Spanking", it has already been swollen by now. He had no choice but to ignore his image, lie down on the horse and follow... Zhu Cixuan was afraid that he would fall off, so he sent two guards to guard him, one on the left and one on the right, as if he were a prince.
The group hurriedly hurriedly and slowly passed through Xintang Pass in one day and arrived at Honghuatun Fortress, which faces Songpan Acropolis across the Minjiang River.
When we arrived at Honghuatun, it was dusk, the rain stopped, and the setting sun shone down, falling on the newly expanded Honghuatun fortress, giving people the feeling of a fortified city.
Because Li Yuan had sent the accompanying knights to report the news in advance, when King Luoshan and his party arrived at Honghuatun, there were already people waiting for them outside the city. A large group of knights surrounded two people, a man and a woman. The man is a tall, thin man in his fifties, none other than Li Dingguo. He was not wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, but was wearing a blue cloth coat, a red cloak, and a white felt hat on his head.
The woman was wrapped in a cloak trimmed with white fox fur, and underneath was a half-length soft chainmail armor, glowing with golden light under the setting sun. Her glossy black hair was tied up with a leather crown, and there were a few strands of hair on the temples at the back of her neck, fluttering in the wind. She was so far away that Zhu Cixuan couldn't see her face clearly. He only felt that the long legs astride the horse were a bit thick and strong, and she was a bit burly...
Zhu Cixuan didn't pay much attention to this big girl wearing armor and riding a horse - in Yingtian Mansion, such a manly woman was not unusual at all. There are too many such women in the royal circle! Among his more than one hundred sisters, many have the same virtue as the one in front of him. He doesn't care about women of this type. King Luoshan likes slender and slender beauties, preferably half-Hu people, just like the Hani he saw in Prince Zhu San. Then they are called beauties!
However, no matter how beautiful Hani is, Zhu Cixuan cannot stop being a mourner for Chongzhen... The house in Xipu is gone, and there is no sense of being a nun anymore.
When Zhu Cixuan looked down on the eldest girl, the eldest girl was also despising the Ming Dynasty's idiot prince in her heart!
This girl was none other than Li Yue'e, Li Dingguo's third daughter, and Li Puxing planned to let Zhu Cixu have the bridal chamber with her.
But who is Miss Li San? Can you let your big brother do whatever you want? If she doesn't like him, she won't marry even the Ming Emperor, let alone the prince.
So after Li Dingguo learned that Zhu Cixiu was coming, he had no choice but to bring his daughter for a "blind date", but Li Puxing was very determined. How could his sister look down on Zhu Cixuan? That boy is definitely an "Eight-faced King Kong" level handsome man - looking at him from all directions, there is no place that is not handsome! Of course, this kind of handsomeness is the standard of the Dashun Dynasty... it means a good husband, a dignified man, and a generous man!
Therefore, Li Puxing did not come with Ada and his sister, but prepared the wedding banquet in Songpan Acropolis.
Since he didn't follow, Li Yue'e took it for granted that Li Jinxue, who was lying on the horse, was the idiot prince.
You idiot, of course he should be lying down. How could he be like the strong man in white who came with Li Yuan? Such a big man, with big arms and round waist, looks like an iron tower when riding on horseback... Are there such big straw bags in the world?
Seeing that the straw bag lying on the horse was almost in front of her, Li Yuemei's somewhat neutral rectangular face had already been pulled down, and her two long black eyebrows had even touched together. Before she could say "Big "Fool" Zhu Cixuan announced her family status on horseback. She suddenly snorted and turned to Li Dingguo: "Ada, the ninth prince of the Zhu family is a fool. I would rather die than marry him!"
