Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 330 A Living Target on Fire
Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min and asked: "The two of us are the most intimate bedside people, Minmin, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

Zhao Min sat down on Zhang Wuji's Longshu table, picked up a piece of fruit from Zhou Zhiruo from the table, and asked doubtfully while eating: "Your little sister Zhiruo, the one you can't let go of in this life. It is her master Miejue Shitai. If this is the case, why don’t you just kill Miejue and get rid of her thoughts? Or simply borrow a knife to kill people, borrow my subordinates, such as the second elder Xuanming. That's how you deal with those two old monks. I'm curious why you haven't attacked her for so long?"

Zhang Wuji said: "The reason is very simple, because if Juejue is dead, Zhiruo will easily suspect me. Miejue Shitai treats her as much as a mountain. Zhiruo lost her parents when she was young, and Miejue Shitai raised her. Yes, although she has some thoughts."

Hearing that Zhang Wuji hesitated to speak, Zhao Min swallowed the fruit in her mouth, her two little feet were swinging back and forth restlessly, and she added: "The face is kind and the heart is cruel!"

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min appreciatively and said, "I really admire Minmin's ability to recognize people."

Zhao Min replied: "We are each other. Okay, let's get down to business first. You haven't answered my question yet, is it just because you are afraid that Zhou Zhiruo won't marry you?"

Zhang Wuji replied: "That's not exactly the case. Miejue Shitai's subordinates have a lot of blood debts. If you don't regret your sister, you can't get over it. Back then, the two of us saw Miejue Shitai beat Aunt Ji to death. Aunt Ji treated me very kindly. No matter what, I will avenge this revenge for her. The same is true for my sister Buhui, so I want to give this chance of revenge to my sister Buhui, and I have fulfilled her wish."

Zhao Min nodded silently after listening.

Zhao Min said: "That's right! What's the matter with that sister Yang? That sister is really beautiful. If anyone can compare with her, I'm afraid only Aunt Dai can compare with her."

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min and said with a smile, "What about my Minmin? Do you think you are uglier than her?"

Zhao Min said with a smile: "It's natural, you have to be humble. I'm not as narcissistic as Zhou Zhiruo, I think I'm the most beautiful in the world."

Zhang Wuji also smiled when he heard the words.

Zhang Wuji replied: "Sister Yang's matter is somewhat complicated to say." Then Zhang Wuji briefly mentioned that when he sent Zhou Zhiruo back to Emei, he accidentally met Shi Hongshi's mother and daughter, and through them, he met Huang Shannu.

Zhao Min laughed heartily after hearing this: "Hahahaha!"

Zhang Wuji asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Min replied: "My brother Wuji is really very lucky. I don't think it will be long before that sister Yang and the little girl beside her will become the joy of your room."

Zhang Wuji still asked knowingly, "Why?"

Zhao Min replied: "Why else, of course I like you. That Sister Yang wasn't too obvious before. It's just that when we parted later, I saw that her eyes were not right when she looked at you. But the one next to her wearing The little girl in green really likes you very much."

Zhang Wuji spread his hands helplessly, and said shamelessly: "Oh! There is no way, if a man is too good, there will always be many women who like it."

Zhao Min pointed at Zhang Wuji's eyebrows with jade and said, "Say this, are you ashamed or not?"

The two of them played like this until the night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wuji received those official envoys as before.It wasn't until noon that they all saw it.After Liu Futong reported to him the progress of the restoration of the old palace in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Wuji finally had a little time for himself.

Zhang Wuji returned to the back hall of the prefect's mansion, where Wu Jincao and Qi Lei were already waiting.

As soon as Zhang Wuji entered, Wu Jincao and Qi Lei looked at each other, then knelt down in front of Zhang Wuji together, and shouted, "Kowtow to His Majesty the Great Bright God."

Hearing this address, Zhang Wuji was immediately embarrassed.

Seeing that Zhang Wuji was silent, Qi Lei and Wu Jincao repeated it.

If it was for other people, Zhang Wuji would be a little bit airy, but facing the two "insiders" in front of him, Zhang Wuji was still very polite.

Zhang Wuji said: "Mr. Wu Qi, you don't need to be polite, please take your seat." After speaking, Zhang Wuji called Qi Lei and Wu Jincao to take their seats.

Before Wu Jincao could speak, Zhang Wuji asked: "Wu Qishi, who gave the honorary name you mentioned just now?"

Qi Lei said at this time: "Oh! This matter. When we came here before, Liu Futong and Master Liu told us that we should call Ming Zun like this. He said that this is the honorary title drawn up by the princes of the world for His Majesty. "

Zhang Wuji was somewhat speechless upon hearing this.It seems that I played a bit too much this time.

Wu Jincao also added: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the land recovered by the rebel army under my Mingjiao has also begun to use a new year name."

"New year name?" Zhang Wuji murmured.

Wu Jincao continued: "Yes, before this world used the "Zhizheng" year name of Meng Yuan, but just a few days ago, we heard that in the territory of our rebel army, His Majesty's year name has begun to be used. 'Dragon and Phoenix'. And this year is designated as 'the first year of the Dragon and Phoenix'. I heard that new coins for His Majesty's new dynasty have already begun."

After listening to Wu Jincao's report, Zhang Wuji was already a little dumbfounded.

But Zhang Wuji didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, this is a stage that must be experienced. Although it sounds shameful now, the more familiar he is in the future, the less he will feel.

But at this time, Zhang Wuji also understood the purpose of these princes who came to pay tribute to him as the "Son of Zhou".

What they think is nothing more than "causing trouble to the east".

Although Zhang Wuji has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, the envoys of the princes of the world have now enshrined Zhang Wuji as the "emperor".

If the title of "emperor" is now added to the head, it can be regarded as both good and bad.

The good thing is that this is a step that must be taken. Only in this way can we show our legitimacy and rekindle the confidence of the Han people in the world to expel the Tartars.

The downside is that Zhang Wuji has now become a "live target".

In this period, although the rebels all over the south of the Yangtze River are flourishing.But each of their forces is far inferior to the Great Yuan Dynasty.

During this period of time, Yuan Ting recruited a lot of civilians to expand the army. Although the quality is not very good, the quantity is definitely crushing.

Now the pressure from the rebels everywhere is not small. They let Zhang Wuji become the emperor now, just to set him up as a "target", and then become the main target of the government army's encirclement and suppression.

Let them live a few days of leisure on the separatist side of the south of the Yangtze River, and reduce the pressure on them to use troops.

But Zhang Wuji only reacted now, somewhat late.
