Chapter 1180 The person who has read for a long time
The Zhang Mansion was a joyful one, but the banquet in the General Military Mansion seemed boring. Even though the table was full of delicacies, wine and delicacies, Liu Zeqing felt like chewing wax. He couldn't understand the huge investment he had made, and he had only just gotten close to the little eunuch. Gao Jie
How did I manage to become brothers with the young eunuch in just one day?
Is there any reason for this?
How did Brother Gao do it? No matter Liu Zeqing asked this question, even Liu Liangzuo asked it several times.
Maybe it was fate, we felt like old friends at first sight! Gao Jie answered seriously, but Liu Zeqing felt sick and wanted to vomit. Damn it, we felt like old friends at first sight. When we were in the capital, you were so scared that you almost peed your pants. The little eunuch also wanted to kill you.
They hit it off right away.
There are definitely shady deals going on privately.
Liu Zeqing had thought for a long time that this was the only possibility, but what kind of deal was it?
What the young eunuch lacks most now is soldiers, horses and food, but he can also give what Gao Jie can give, and more, so this shouldn't be the reason. So what is it?
Liu Zeqing almost lost his mind thinking about it.
Taiyuan Shanxi.
A few months ago, the intruders personally led hundreds of thousands of troops and swept in. Taiyuan City was besieged overnight. The soldiers and civilians in the city were united as never before. The rich gentry donated money and food, and the people worked hard, and the soldiers worked hard. After more than half a month, the thieves were finally defeated.
The army was defeated.
But Taiyuan City was almost in ruins.
This battle made a lot of achievements for many people, including Zhou Yuji, the commander-in-chief of the Three Passes, Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi, and the little eunuch who became famous in World War I. Although he never returned, there are still many people who remember that he led his troops out of the city to kill the enemy without fear of life or death.
His majestic appearance, and whenever he saw the Jingguan built with thieves' heads in the south of the city, the people would always think of this man who killed the god.
At this time, it has been several months since the war broke out for you, and Taiyuan City is still full of desolation. Although the rebel army has retreated, the sequelae left behind are extremely serious. The city is full of wounded soldiers, countless people have lost their families, their families have been separated, and their land has been lost. The city has lost its food.
This will undoubtedly make Taiyuan, which has just experienced a war, become even worse. Not to mention, a food shortage can worsen the situation again. In order to survive, those refugees and people will definitely create chaos again.
The local government knew that it was powerful and urgently asked the court for help. However, the situation in the capital at this time was worse than that in Taiyuan and it was even worse than itself. How could they care about them? They said a lot of comforting nonsense and asked you to take care of yourselves.
How to take care of it? The government was powerless, so they had to ask Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan for help. However, recently, the big houses in the city, including the Jin Palace, were almost wiped out to defend themselves against the enemy. Zhu Shenxuan was also a clever woman who couldn't cook.
But he was really forced to do nothing, so he finally thought of a way to send people to Datong to ask for help from the Dai Wang Mansion. The Dai Wang Zhu Chuanji, who had just been tricked by Chang Yu, was surprisingly generous and even took the lead in calling for help in Datong City.
The fundraising was later extended to Xuanfu (Zhangjiakou, Xuanhua). Zhu Shenxuan was so hard-working that it was hard to believe.
Although it was unclear why this cousin suddenly worked so hard, it did relieve Taiyuan's urgent need. Large quantities of grains were shipped to Taiyuan one after another. The government and the royal family stepped in to control grain prices, and at the same time set up porridge shacks to allow the people and refugees to maintain food and clothing. As long as they could carry
Autumn brings relief.
Before the bandit army besieged Taiyuan, Zhu Shenxuan was an idle young prince. After all, vassal princes were like this, eating, drinking, having fun, and waiting to die.
But after that battle, Zhu Shenxuan seemed to have matured overnight. He would go to the city every day when he got up early, and he fell in love with martial arts and exercise. Sometimes he would go to the city in the evening and sometimes stand in front of the city.
He stood in a daze somewhere for a long time, recalling what he saw and heard at that time, and the figure that had a profound impact on him.
Later, he became particularly concerned about current affairs and read the newspapers in his residence. He even asked his servants to go to brothels and restaurants to inquire about the affairs of the capital from the merchants. Whenever he heard about the man's feats, he would commit a serious crime in the palace and raise his head and shout, "He
He is my friend, we have fought side by side.
That person is naturally the young eunuch Chang Yu.
The people in Taiyuan who were affected by this were definitely not only Jin King Zhu Shenxuan, but also Fu Qingzhu and his son Fu Mei, who fed chickens, danced and practiced martial arts every day.
In addition, there was another person, Zhu Zhi'e, the princess of the Jin Palace over there. She became taciturn, secretly crying from time to time, and shook her head in silence no matter who asked, which made Zhu Shenxuan very troubled.
What happened to the girl?
No one knows, and those who know don't tell.
On this day, Zhu Shenxuan took a few servants to the city for a run early in the morning as usual, and then returned home covered in sweat after practicing boxing, but he happened to see a visitor coming to the door.
There were more than ten guests. Although he didn't recognize them, their clothes were familiar to him. They were from Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Then the leader of this group said something that shocked Zhu Shenxuan for a long time. They were here to take the princess Zhu Zhi'e to the capital! He said that Princess Kunxing wanted to find someone to talk to, and the queen also wanted to meet her.
But why did Princess Kunxing and the Queen want to meet a princess from the royal palace, and why did she belong to the royal palace of Jin?
The answer made Zhu Shenxuan a little excited.
Because Chang Yu told Princess Kunxing and the Queen a lot about what happened when he was in Taiyuan and the people he met in the palace. He mentioned many brothers and sisters who had eaten the Jin King, and his words were full of praise, which attracted the attention and curiosity of the Queen and Princess. In view of the fact that
The vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without summons, so he asked Zhu Zhi'e to come to the capital and chat with him about his family affairs.
This was actually a reward and an honor. Zhu Shenxuan was naturally overjoyed. What he was happy about was not that his sister could go to the capital to see the queen, but that Chang Yu, who was in the prime of his life, often talked about him and said good things about him.
Sure enough, enough friends!
The people from Dongchang said again that due to the long distance and the sensitive nature of the matter, they had to keep a low profile and not be too public. Zhu Shenxuan also understood this and happily told his sister about it.
Then Zhu Zhi'e cried again, several times harder than usual.
"You don't want to go. If you don't want to go, Brother Wang will find an excuse to refuse." Although Zhu Shenxuan felt a little pity, he didn't want to force his sister. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhi'e wiped her tears: "I don't even have time to be happy.
Why don't you go? You can go to the capital to see the world and meet the queen and princess. How happy it is. It's much better than being bored in this lifeless Taiyuan city every day."
"Then why are you crying?" Zhu Shenxuan was puzzled: "You are still crying so miserably."
"I'm crying because it's Brother Wang. I can go to the capital to play, but Brother Wang can't leave Taiyuan. Just thinking about it makes me sad for you..." Zhu Zhi'e laughed and cried again as she spoke. Zhu Shenxuan looked stunned.
Immediately, I felt really uncomfortable. This damn prince is not free at all. As he thought about it, he started hating Chang Yu again. Why don’t you help me say something nice in front of the emperor? An imperial edict also summoned me.
The capital city.
Emperors or empresses have commended princesses for a long time, but the honor of being summoned to the palace is rare. Therefore, everyone in the Jin Palace is very happy, but they must not make it public. After all, it is easy to attract evil in these difficult times.
.
But the family can still celebrate behind closed doors. It is said that the queen rewarded the people in Dongchang generously, and Zhu Shenxuan also asked them questions. The topic was always about the little eunuch. Listening to these people
They talked about how Chang Yu fought from outside the customs to Baoding Prefecture and then chased the Tatars thousands of miles to Qingzhou Prefecture... Zhu Shenxuan was so excited that he couldn't sit still, like a monkey flying in the sky.
"He went south to suppress bandits?" Zhu Zhi'e suddenly frowned when she heard this.
Can you tell me when you will return to Beijing?"
"I really don't know about this young man, but with the great power of the factory owner, he will be able to defeat those thieves in a month at most."
Zhu Zhi'e breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhu Shenxuan: "If I see him in the capital, I will say hello to Brother Wang."
Zhu Shenxuan smiled bitterly: "Forget about saying hello, just ask him when he will come to have a wedding with me!"
Zhu Shenxuan is engaged, and his fiancée is also very beautiful. If it hadn't been for the Taiyuan War a few months ago, he would have been married by now, but now he has to postpone it. After all, this time is not suitable for extravagant weddings, and such a thing has to be reported.
Obviously, the Ming court was not suitable to cause trouble to the court at this time.
It would be best to get married in autumn, when the people have calmed down and the autumn weather is refreshing.
"Perhaps the factory master can really come to drink the prince's wedding banquet at that time," the leader of the East Factory agreed, and Zhu Shenxuan said, "Why do you say that?"
"When I was young, I once heard Eunuch Chun say that when Ping Xibo left the capital, Mr. Chang Gong once said to him that he should wait until autumn in August or September... Eunuch Chun said that it was because Mr. Chang Gong wanted to recover Xi'an after Autumn. Then
The time must pass through Taiyuan..."
"Recapture Xi'an! Okay! Okay! Break into Xi'an and behead Li Zicheng!" Zhu Shenxuan drank a bottle of wine and finally became drunk.
