Chapter 487
The children of officials in all dynasties have a common problem, that is, they bully the weak and fear the hard, especially this kind of dignitary who has not suffered, so you have to be tougher than him to deal with this kind of person.

Zhu Zhishu was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and under the protection of his father, it can be said that he had never suffered any grievances. It was not until the moment his father died that he suddenly realized that he had grown up, and the outside world was not what he wanted. as beautiful.

Looking at this person who could make his father gnash his teeth, but he was helpless from behind, Zhu Zhishu couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart when he thought of the sentence that threatened him just now. I really can't offend this dead eunuch.

With the accumulation of more than a dozen generations, the Palace of the King of Shu has everything that one expects to find. Even if the gates were closed by officers and soldiers, the mourning hall was built without delay. The huge coffin was surrounded by white elegiac couplets. In the smog, there was even a group of Taoist priests chanting sutras .

Seeing this, Ye Xun couldn't help sighing, he really deserved to be the first vassal king of Ming Dynasty. Based on this background alone, no other vassal king could compare with him.

A servant of the Shu Palace handed the incense to Ye Xun, and Ye Xun put the incense in the incense burner, and then bowed in front of the spirit to salute.

"Brother Zhu, although you and I have never met each other, we have been friends for a long time. Don't blame brother if you have a spirit in heaven. The only blame is that you entrusted your birth to the wrong family. Don't worry, brother will not make things difficult for your family. It's impossible to imagine you domineering in Sichuan like you."

Ye Xun murmured silently in his heart, and stood aside after a while, and then other civil and military officials began to offer incense one by one.

Zhu Zhishu led the Zhu family to bow to the crowd in return, and everything was in order for a while.

With the status of the King of Shu, there must be many people who came to worship today. After notifying the court immediately, the court will send envoys to express their condolences, so there are quite a few people who have to be busy.

It is impossible for Ye Xun to stay here forever, so he beckoned Zhu Zhishu aside, and said softly, "Your Highness has passed away, if you have any requests, just ask me."

Zhu Zhishu really wants to say that what he wants most now is to crush you to death, but reason tells him that he should not be impulsive.

"I have to worry about my father-in-law. I don't need it for now. If there is something, I will report it to my father-in-law."

The front is arrogant and the back is respectful, which shows that this kid is still a bit of a city man, so buddy, you should be a son of the world for the rest of your life!
The lineage of the King of Shu can be passed on, but the title of the King of Shu is fine, the goal is too big, and it is easy to be missed by those who care about it. In a sense, Ye Xun’s doing so is not protecting the descendants of the King of Shu, accumulated by more than ten generations. , The wealth of the Shu Palace will not be spent in a few lifetimes, isn't it good to be a rich family for generations?
Patting Zhu Zhishu on the shoulder, he said pointedly: "Nowadays, he is a good emperor who has made great efforts to govern. I hope that the king of Shu can keep up with His Majesty's footsteps."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, turned around and strode away. He was going to have a funeral, so he couldn't ask Zhu Zhishu to donate all their family's land at this time!That is very immoral.

How could Zhu Zhishu fail to hear what Ye Xun said, and for a moment he was so angry that his chest heaved rapidly, and his eyes looking at Ye Xun's back seemed to burst into flames.

Of course, the matter would not be settled in this way. Zhu Zhishu returned to his study and immediately drafted a memorial, impeaching Ye Xun for persecuting the vassal king, despising the royal family and so on.

It was also because Ye Xun had done too many things. Zhu Zhishu made a list of more than ten crimes against Ye Xun in one go.

After finishing writing the memorial, I looked at it, stamped my seal with satisfaction, and then ordered eight hundred miles to send it to the capital urgently.
After leaving Shu Palace, Ye Xun's mood improved a lot. The oppressive feeling when he first arrived in Shuzhong was swept away before he knew it.

People are like this, only when they enjoy the joy of success, can they realize the value of persistence.

Although Zhu Fengquan died, what was left to Ye Xun was undoubtedly a mess, and it was impossible for Ye Xun to stay in Shuzhong for a long time, so there was an urgent need for a capable and trustworthy official to sit in Shuzhong.

There are many capable officials, but there are very few who can be completely trusted by Ye Xun. You can't transfer those people who Ye Xun trusts most!
Ye Xun's temporary residence was the mansion of the former governor Zhuge Xiu. Zhuge Xiu's family was also escorted to Beijing, and the rest of the family basically fled.

Ye Xun didn't pay much attention to going out, so many chores were done by his own soldiers.

Declined the banquet of the officials in Chengdu, and returned to his residence directly on the pretext of needing a rest.

As the governor's mansion of a province, the decoration is naturally beautiful, but Ye Xun didn't have the heart to appreciate it. After eating something, he ordered someone to call Fei Yongsheng over.

On the military side, there are Qin Liangyu and his brother. The first thing to do is to seize the property of the King of Shu, and these require a person who is familiar with the internal affairs of the King of Shu's mansion to operate.

Seemingly guessing what Ye Xun wanted him to do, after seeing the ceremony, Fei Yongsheng said directly: "Your father-in-law wants to do something to the King of Shu's property?"

Ye Xun sighed, motioned Fei Yongsheng to sit down, and said, "Mr. Fei should know that it is impossible for me to stay in Shu for too long, so many things have to be carried out earlier."

"The king of Shu has just died, so it is really unreasonable to attack his family property now. What I mean is not that we have to do it now. Mr. Fei only needs to give me a reminder."

"Elder-in-law can think so, and I can rest assured. In fact, the imperial court has made a decree for a long time, requiring all local governments to clear the land. Regardless of the vassal king or gentry, if the area exceeds the specified area, all should be handed over. It's just that the King of Shu is powerful, and the officials in the middle of Shu are more favored by him. That's why I turned a deaf ear to the imperial court's decree, now that the king of Shu is leaving and my father-in-law is here, I believe there will be no one who doesn't take the imperial court's decree seriously."

"Mr. Fei's words won my heart. Originally, it was most appropriate for Mr. Fei to do this, but if Mr. Fei stepped forward, he would definitely be criticized by others."

Hearing what Ye Xun said, Fei Yongsheng hurriedly stood up to express his thanks, and said: "Eunuch is always considerate of my subordinates, and my subordinates are deeply impressed. Just as my father-in-law said, I am really not suitable for this job. If you are criticized by others, it is a trivial matter. I'm afraid I'll delay my father-in-law's important event, but I want to recommend someone to my father-in-law."

"Oh! Who is it?"

Ye Xun was worried that he couldn't find anyone, but Fei Yongsheng was already a very capable person, and it was definitely not bad to be worthy of his recommendation.

"Shaanxi chief envoy, Hong Chengchou!"

"It's him?"

Hearing this name, Ye Xun couldn't help being stunned. Last time when the seven Mongolian Khalkha coalition forces invaded Chahanhot, Wang Xiangqian had recommended Hong Chengchou to Ye Xun.

It's just that Ye Xun had some resistance to Hong Chengchou because he had defected to the Qing Dynasty in another time and space, so he finally chose Sun Chuanting, not wanting to be mentioned by Fei Yongsheng here again.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Mr. Fei knows Mr. Hong?"

Fei Yongsheng shook his head beyond Ye Xun's expectations, and said, "It's not considered acquaintance, I just met once when passing through Shaanxi."

It's really unexpected to admire Hong Chengchou so much after meeting him once.

But Ye Xun also knew that Hong Chengchou was indeed a capable person, and it was easy to transfer him, but could this person be of one mind with him?
