Returning from Wuchang to Xiangyang, Zhu Yixi walked around and watched the flowers.
Although Huguang has suffered from military disasters for several years, it still has a solid foundation and is much better than Shaanxi. At least people can be seen sparsely in the cultivated land.
Dying old men, crying children, ruthless wild dogs, and countless bandits formed a tragic picture of the late Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, unlike in the past, Zhu Yixi is in a high position and naturally has the ability to save these low-level people.
After all, we are compatriots.
The old people and children gathered together as much as possible along the way, put them on the mule cart, and returned to Xiangyang.
As soon as they entered the city, Zhao Shu hurriedly greeted him and asked hurriedly: "Why did the general allow 30,000 people to come to Xiangyang?"
Zhu Yixi thought about this question and said, "Now that I have left Hanzhong, the three kings are not safe there."
As he said this, he saw Zhao Shu's ugly face and couldn't help but sneered: "That's one thing. On the other hand, I'm afraid of long nights and lots of dreams."
These words made Zhao Shu even more confused.
Seeing this, Zhu Yixi sighed and said: "The intruders entered Shanxi and approached the capital, and prepared to surround Beijing."
"Although the city of Beijing has been saved from danger several times in the past two hundred years, it may be difficult this time."
Zhao Shu was shocked, and after a long time, he whispered softly: "Are you afraid that the three kings will be used?"
"After all, many people are blinded by greed and can do anything."
Zhu Yixi nodded and sighed.
Prince Rui is the fifth son of Emperor Shenzong, and ranks highest among the emperor's uncles who are still alive today.
Once the news of Chongzhen's death spread, there would inevitably be people who were greedy for profit and wanted to support him. Zhu Yixi immediately started a fire in the backyard.
In these troubled times, there are all kinds of birds.
"The three kings should stay in Xiangyang, it is the safest place."
Zhu Yixi said lightly.
As for using the king's self-respect, I don't even mention it.
Zhao Shu nodded thoughtfully.
After a while, Zhao Shu remembered something. He kept fanning the feather fan in his hand and said hurriedly:
"General Soldier, in addition to the three kings, everyone from the Sun family is also here."
"What are they here for?" Zhu Yixi asked doubtfully.
"You forgot, the wedding was scheduled for the eighth day of February, and now it's March 30th."
Zhao Shu said helplessly: "I said I won't delay you, so I came to Xiangyang to get married."
"marry?"
Zhu Yixi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the matter: "Then we really need to hurry up, we'll have a wedding tomorrow, it'll be simpler."
"Don't be so hasty!"
"The intruders set out in the first month of the year. It's been almost three months now. They should have arrived in Beijing. If something happens to His Majesty, it will be too late."
Zhu Yixi said softly, her words quite disrespectful.
Zhao Shu didn't pay attention. If this was the case, it would have to be delayed for another month, but he would have to wait again.
"Okay, then we'll get married tomorrow."
As soon as the decision was made, Xiangyang City suddenly became busy.
Naturally, Prince Xiang's Mansion is uninhabitable. Part of it collapsed in February, which is unlucky and inconsistent with his status.
So, I picked another county prince's palace, decorated it, and it was done.
At this time, everyone in Xiangyang also learned the news of Zuo Liangyu's defeat. For a while, the people were overjoyed.
Compared with intruders and Western thieves, the people of Xiangyang were more cruel to Zuo Liangyu. Before this guy left, he did not forget to rob him. It was really hateful.
The remaining gentry took this opportunity to offer generous gifts.
Zhu Yixi hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted them, which was regarded as accepting them.
Zhao Shu advised at that time: "The gentry are hateful, but they are the foundation of the world. Even if they are thieves, they will hold the imperial examination to recruit wise men, let alone the general soldiers?"
Zhu Yixi was reminded of another thing.
The Manchus were about to enter the country, and if he didn't fight for these gentry, others would win over them.
What's more, the teacher said that in politics, you have many friends and few enemies.
As long as they actively pay taxes, Zhu Yixi is willing to accept them into the ruling class.
Taking advantage of the wedding, Zhu Yixi changed his mind and started politics, and many people joined the Military and Political Department.
Shaanxi businessmen, gentry, and the army gathered together to form an alliance with Zhu Yixi as the core.
He was making friends and drinking in the front, which was very lively.
Behind her, Sun Xueniang clutched her handkerchief nervously, her fair face flushed.
"Sister, it's okay."
The damselfly comforted her softly. She had just secretly drank a glass of wine, her round face was red and her eyes were narrowed into slits.
"Damselfly, you secretly drank alcohol again."
Xue Niang scolded: "If mother finds out, you will be punished."
"My sister is getting married, what's wrong if I drink some wine?"
The damselfly patted her small breasts and said confidently: "Brother-in-law hasn't come yet, I'll go check it out for you."
After saying that, she felt guilty and left quickly.
"When will I grow up?"
Seeing the damselfly walking away with a silly smile, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother-in-law, why are you still drinking?"
In the front hall, through the gap, I saw a man in wedding clothes, walking around gracefully with a wine glass in his hand.
Along the way, the guests at the table all stood up and toasted respectfully, but no one dared to drink too much.
Compliments and flattery are heard endlessly.
Sun Damiang looked at the handsome face and the chattering and laughing temperament, and she was a little crazy for a moment: "Brother-in-law, it looks so beautiful when you look at it like this!"
Holding her chin in her hands, the damselfly looked on happily.
The maids and servants who were passing by were serving dishes, but they didn't care to say anything when they saw her like this.
"why did you leave?"
The brother-in-law smiled and put down the wine glass, and the damselfly couldn't help but get excited: "Could it be the bridal chamber?"
Thinking like this, she followed him secretly.
When they came to a flower bush, Zhu Yixi was slightly drunk. She looked around and saw no one, so she opened the gate and released the water.
Close your eyes and tilt your head, it feels so comfortable.
"ah--"
"who?"
Suddenly, he heard a cry, and it took him a while to react, and he hurriedly said vigilantly.
Could it be an assassin?
The guards who were a few steps away rushed over immediately. They looked around but saw no one.
"Am I hallucinating?"
Zhu Yixi was confused: "It may be that the maid is equally anxious. If she is disturbed by me, it would be a real sin."
"What if my skirt is pulled down?"
After thinking about it nonsensically, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but laugh.
I was really drunk.
It's time for the bridal chamber.
Not far away, the damselfly walked away in a hurry, her chest rising and falling, and she gasped: "I almost got discovered."
After a while, she wondered: "It's long and thick. What is that? I can't see clearly!"
Suddenly, she remembered the erotic paintings her sister had seen before, and for a moment, her ears turned red.
"Why, it looks different. It's bigger!"
General Xiao Zhu chose to enter the bridal chamber, the drinking guests became a little more unrestrained, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
"Creak——"
After opening the wedding room, the old ladies exchanged glasses of wine and the process was completed. Zhu Yixi was almost sober from the wine.
"Madam, let's perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou!"
Zhu Yixi couldn't help but smile when she saw the shy Sun Xueniang.
Soon, a white and tender little lamb appeared on the bed. I felt pity for it, it was so delicate and tender.
