Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 85
Therefore, in the future, whether to go to the northwest or to the southeast.

Zhu Yixi thought for a moment, and seeing the latter's scrutinizing eyes, his heart moved.

Is he continuing to test himself?

The emperor chooses his ministers, and he also chooses his emperor while he is taking advantage of it. This has been the case throughout the ages.

"Gongchang Mansion, I don't think about it."

Zhu Yixi looked at him and said word by word.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Zhao Shu showed a look of all ears.

"In Gansu Town, there is already a bull into a tiger. As a guerrilla general, I am obviously not welcomed, and I am also very dangerous."

Relying on the memory in his mind, Zhu Yixi confidently said: "No accident, the thieves who broke into the pass must be the best of the best, and there are very few soldiers left behind in Huguang."

"And this is also our opportunity, an opportunity to expand our strength."

Zhu Yixi didn't say a word, but both of them understood.

The Huguang area no longer belongs to the Ming court, but belongs to the white land, the occupied area.

But to seize this place, the imperial court will be forced to admit Zhu Yixi's occupation of it.

What makes Zhu Yixi even more satisfied is that here he will be driven by himself to make paintings without any constraints.

With a smile on the corner of Zhao Shu's mouth, he asked back: "Isn't the general afraid of intruders and thieves?"

"The moment Zhang Xianzhong became king, the intruder and the western thief had parted ways."

Zhu Yixi said to himself: "It's not far to defeat each of them.

Furthermore, the essence of the world lies in the southeast. Instead of going to the southeast, I go to the northwest. Isn't this going against the trend? "

"Okay, great."

Zhao Shu clapped his hands and praised: "The general's insight is rare in the world."

Only then did he truly confirm that Zhu Yixi did have his own long-term insights, which is very rare in this world nowadays.

He made up his mind and devoted himself wholeheartedly to him.

Of course, as a literati, he has deep feelings for Daming, and he would never choose to join other warriors or the chaos army.

However, Zhu Yixi is different, he is not only a martial artist, but also a clan.

Under today's irreplaceable conditions, it is justifiable to recommend another Zhu family.

"My lord!" Zhao Shu suddenly bowed at ninety degrees, and said solemnly, "Zhao Shu, Zhao Shizhi, now coincides with the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, three lives are lucky."

With the popularity of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the word "lord" has been spread in the world.

The particularity of this term is that it is a title exclusive to Liu Bei.

Hearing this word, Zhu Yixi thought of Liu Bei, and after thinking about it carefully, he was really similar.

It's just that I yearn for Prime Minister Cao more.

"Mr. is too far-fetched."

Zhu Yixi raised his eyebrows with joy, and hurriedly supported him.

"The difference between monarch and minister cannot be sloppy."

Zhao Shu shook his head stubbornly.

Then he got up quickly, sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and said easily:
"My lord chose Yunyang Mansion, which is a wise choice."

This change of face made Zhu Yixi amazed.

"Why is this?"

"Yunyang Mansion was actually occupied by surrendered generals Hui Dengxiang and Wang Guangen. It was encircled and suppressed by Li Zicheng several times but failed. In May, Gao Jie sent troops to help him resist the bandits."

Zhao Shu said softly: "He has been besieged by intruders for several months, and his soldiers are already exhausted. When the time comes, the Lord's divine soldiers will go east, and he can only return."

"Wonderful."

Zhu Yixi praised: "It's just now, not yet."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Most of Yunyang Mansion is a mountainous area, where Emperor Xianzong resettled refugees in the past. The land is barren and the people are poor. I'm afraid the winter will be very difficult."

"When the time comes, it will be our chance."

Just after succeeding to the throne, he tried his best to deal with millions of refugees and survived the crisis. Ming Xianzong is really powerful.

It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen didn't have half of his ability, and it was even more difficult to prepare Huali Court.

When Zhao Shu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "My lord, this plan is very good."

After some words, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Finally, Zhu Yixi asked: "Maybe Hanzhong Mansion can be used by me now?"

"For the time being. Although Jiang Zhifu is very rebellious on the surface, he is very obedient."

When Zhao Shu heard this, he couldn't help but believe it.

"Nowadays, all the money and food from the states and counties are concentrated in Nanzheng for the purpose of defending against trespassers."

As he said that, Zhao Shu couldn't help but took out a ledger, and said according to the script: "A total of more than [-] soldiers and horses from the eight counties were gathered, and the old and young were eliminated. They can be used, but only [-]."

"Among them, 120,000 taels of money, [-] shi of grain, and other miscellaneous gifts are useless."

"120,000 taels."

Zhu Yixi was surprised: "The Hanzhong Mansion is so rich?"

"Recruiting troops, at least recruiting another [-] people, is barely enough."

"My lord, there are two crops a year in Hanzhong, and the autumn harvest is just around the corner. Apart from Xi'an, Shaanxi is the richest place in Hanzhong."

At this moment, Zhao Shu couldn't help saying: "Actually, the richest one is Prince Rui's Mansion."

"This King Rui is usually not a womanizer, he loves Buddhist scriptures, and loves money the most. He is like a wild animal, he can only get in and out."

"Hey, let's help defend against intruders, King Rui is probably active in persuading him to pay."

Zhu Yixi sneered.

His lowly clan has nothing in common with this prince.

"correct."

At this moment, Zhao Shu suddenly said: "My lord, news came from Dasan Pass that Li Zicheng was in the Xi'an mansion to persuade people to pay, and all the big gentry families were blackmailed, and their vitality was greatly injured."

"This news is important."

Zhu Yixi was overjoyed and said, "Hurry up and spread the word, the whole of Hanzhong will support us willingly in a short time."

After discussing for a long time, the recruitment and the direction of the next step have all been settled.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was such a comfort to have someone who really meant to help me.

Back in the courtyard, Zhu Yixi hesitated: "The two people in the room are still there?"

"General, who would dare to mess around without your order."

Sun Lin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I heard from the brothers that they are very safe these few days."

Zhu Yixi nodded, made up her mind, and stepped forward.

"General."

At this time, Sun Xuan made a sudden noise, looking directly at him with watery eyes, and said, "You just went in like this?"

"King Rui's wish, naturally cannot be easily given up."

Zhu Yixi looked at her strangely. .

"Aren't you going to marry Miss Sun?"

Sun Xuan saw that his gaze was getting more and more wrong, and said hurriedly, her cheeks flushed.

"The big marriage won't prevent me from taking a concubine?"

Zhu Yixi was surprised, and approached the female guard, who blushed and buried her head in her chest.

He looked carefully and got up.

On Sun Xuan's melon-shaped face, the bridge of her nose is high and straight, which makes her look full of heroism, and her chest is puffed up, which seems to be quite straight.

And it seems that because of practicing martial arts, her waist is flexible and slender, her legs are slender, and her buttocks are particularly upright.

Such a dress, compared with the small cherry mouth, petite and exquisite that men love at this time, looks very different.

Sensing those scorching eyes, Sun Xuan had no choice but to raise her head, pursed her thin lips, and said with firm eyes:

"General, although civilian girls practice martial arts, they keep themselves clean. Don't mess around..."

Zhu Yixi waved his hand, and Sun Lin left quietly, leaving only two people in the courtyard.

The bright moonlight filled the courtyard, as if falling into the moon lake.

Zhu Yixi's eyes finally fixed on his chest.

"General."

Sun Xuan suppressed her embarrassment, and emphasized again: "Minister, although, although some places are a bit bigger, if you don't like it, you don't have to humiliate me like this?"

"No, it's not humiliation."

Seeing his embarrassment and indignation, Zhu Yixi hurriedly said, "This is admiration, praise, and appreciation."

As he said that, he took the latter's rough hand and said with a smile: "I, Zhu Yixi, already understand the girl's thoughts, and I will explain to you."

At this moment, Sun Xuan blushed and twitched for a while before saying in a low voice: "My uncle is in Xi'an, we have to wait for him to come back..."

After speaking, he couldn't wait to leave.

Zhu Yixi smiled, looked at the brightly lit room, and vaguely saw two slim figures.

He flicked his sleeves and strode away.

So, there are not many of these two.
