In the palace, the gorgeous bed is extremely wide, and it can sleep five or six people without being too crowded. The long curtain is dragged to the floor, like a layer of mist, covering the entire bed.
On the side, wisps of green smoke in the small cauldron are constantly exuding a pleasant smell. The spices have been carefully blended over the years, which not only makes the smell smell good, but also repels mosquitoes.
Therefore, the palace of King Yu was extremely comfortable as there were no mosquitoes in summer.
In the hall, a large number of ice basins are distributed, and the slightest coolness makes the temperature drop a lot, just like a spring day.
The biological clock woke Zhu Yixi up. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but want to turn over, but a petite and elegant figure wrapped around him, making it difficult to move.
Zhu Yixi patted her soft and elastic little buttocks, and the latter raised her buttocks, which made him stunned and funny.
It took a long time for the woman to realize in a daze, and she was wrapped like an octopus.
Pushing off the last white and tender thighs on his body, he stood up directly and asked the maid to dress him.
"Brother-in-law, it's still early!"
Sun Damniang, like a lazy pig, lazily raised her arms, not caring at all about the happy couple.
Zhu Yixi said helplessly: "It's time to change your name to husband."
"Okay, brother-in-law..." Damselfly closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Zhu Yixi had no choice but to wash up, sit on the chariot and go directly to the side hall.
Almost every move of the Nanjing court was under Zhu Yixi's control.
In the city of Nanjing where party strife is fierce, the internal strife is more serious than he thought.
From yesterday to now, he has been thinking along the way that the current situation is really too difficult for the Nanjing court.
The troops in Guizhou were defeated, and He Tengjiao returned only ten thousand people, completely destroying the imperial court's remaining resources in Yunnan.
Moreover, due to this situation, Guizhou was also vaguely unstable, and He Tengjiao was forced to stay in Guizhou to stabilize the situation.
Ma Shiying did not want his hometown to fall into enemy hands.
Isn't this all just following your own ideas? But why are you a little unhappy?
Perhaps it was the hundreds of thousands of civilians who were killed or injured in Yunnan, or the tens of thousands of troops who were supposed to serve the country but were defeated miserably.
"well!"
Zhu Yixi sighed. Why didn't he want to directly send troops to clear Yunnan, especially Sun Kewang, who was about to become a hero?
However, the situation does not allow it, and the conditions do not allow it.
Without this defeat, how could there be subsequent victories?
After adjusting her mood, Zhu Yixi got off the chariot.
Knowing the importance of confidentiality, Zhu Yixi never brought eunuchs to participate in politics. With the support of a delicate and lovely palace maid, His Royal Highness Prince Yu officially entered.
A meeting was held immediately.
This imperial meeting came suddenly, and the shogunate was unable to react in time.
However, Sun Changzhou was in charge of the search department. After hearing the news, he had been preparing for a long time. He couldn't wait to rush over and saw King Yu who had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness!" He bowed and saluted.
"What's the news from Yunnan?"
Zhu Yixi raised her head, glanced at him, and said calmly.
"Sun Kewang has blocked official channels, and the humble official can only know now that almost all the imperial prefectures and counties are under his control."
Sun Changzhou said thoughtfully, and seeing King Yu's face calm, he added: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out the news in the future."
"waste!"
Zhu Yixi cursed in a low voice and looked down upon He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu more and more.
In this war, or the invasion of Yunnan to suppress the bandits, the officers and soldiers rarely engaged in actual combat with the Western bandits. They were always paralyzed by the opponent's arrogant tactics, which stretched logistics.
Immediately, under the command of Sun Kewang, the Western Bandits attacked the grain road, not only replenishing themselves, but also causing He Tengjiao and other Guizhou soldiers to completely lose their morale.
One blow, one touch and collapse.
If Mu Tianbo hadn't used his connections to get a guide and borrowed food, He Tengjiao and the others might not have been able to come back.
After a while, four people, including Zhao Shu, Yan Chongxin, Zhang Shenyan, and Feng Xianzong, came panting.
As soon as he saw the waiting figure of King Yu, he was immediately shocked and started to salute.
"Your Highness, is there something going on at the court?"
Zhao Shu said calmly.
"The information from Nanjing is inaccurate."
Zhu Yixi said displeasedly: "The news from the scientific investigation last night is half-baked and hurts both sides. It's all fake. He Tengjiao was defeated thousands of miles away. He couldn't wipe his face and wrote a letter."
Sun Changzhou softly recounted the conversation he had with King Yu at midnight last night.
This kind of disappointing move in the middle of the night was said to have disturbed King Yu's elegance. Fortunately, King Yu was tolerant and stressed many times that it must be played urgently, so he went ahead and went ahead.
"He Tengjiao cannot escape the blame for his crimes."
Zhang Shenyan gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness can write to the court to impeach this person."
"No need, Your Highness."
Zhao Shu shook his head slightly and said: "You can just inform the Donglin Party members and let them use their efforts."
The Governor of Huguang on He Tengjiao's head was very dazzling. If King Yu personally submitted the letter, it would have the opposite effect.
"In the final analysis, it's still a matter of food supply."
The heat of August made Zhu Yixi quite uncomfortable, so he asked the palace maid to dance more vigorously, and then said:
"It is inevitable that He Tengjiao made such a mistake. The scholar is so angry!"
After hearing these words, everyone understood that His Highness was really involved in Yungui affairs.
But they don't quite understand that the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou combined are not even worth a Wuchang Prefecture. Not only does it cost a lot of money and food, but occupying it is also a burden.
Yan Chongxin persuaded tactfully: "There are many mountainous areas in Yunnan and Guizhou. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight. Bandits and slave builders are the enemies of life and death."
Zhao Shu also had a headache and remained silent.
Seeing them like this, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but want to laugh. These people had already put the interests of the shogunate above the imperial court.
For Zhu Yixi, he was happy to see this kind of scene.
But how can political gains and losses be replaced by mere money, food, soldiers and horses?
When the Nanjing court collapsed, someone had to resist the Ming Dynasty.
If it were based on clan order, it would never be his turn to be a distant branch of the clan.
Therefore, what he can rely on is strength and prestige.
There is no shortage of strength for the time being, but prestige, especially in the southern provinces, is not so easy to establish.
Whether he went north to attack the slave establishment and regain Sichuan, or he always flaunted his loyalty to the imperial court and took the initiative to borrow passages, the image of the loyal vassal was vividly displayed on the paper.
If the King of Yu regains Yunnan, especially in the comparison of He Tengjiao, it will definitely gain points in terms of politics and prestige.
Naturally, the Nanjing court would not be fooled, but the gentry everywhere were not that smart either.
In the face of public expectations, he had no choice but to accept the throne and ascend to the throne of God.
Since he couldn't say these words, Zhu Yixi organized his thoughts and continued:
"Gu Yi has always been loyal to the imperial court. How can he sit back and watch Emperor Taizu's inheritance be stolen?"
No one believed this statement at all.
How could someone who mocked Nanjing ministers unscrupulously and even showed little respect for Emperor Hongguang be a loyal minister?
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
Zhao Shu asked tentatively, he also wanted to know King Yu's plan.
"Yunnan and Guizhou are one. Without Guizhou, Yunnan is just a delusion."
Zhu Yixi found an excuse and said: "We have to eat one bite at a time. Get Guizhou first, and then take things slowly in Yunnan."
"As for the good news, how did He Tengjiao come, so do we."
