As long as you are a conqueror, then there is no shortage of people to express yourself at your feet, and everyone saw that Aruwen was praised for just reporting a few numbers, and they immediately envied and hated it. One of the middle-aged men who looked like a wealthy merchant stood up, saluted Zhu Ao, and said: "Your Royal Highness, the army of the Celestial Empire is on an expedition to pacify the rebels and thieves, and to relieve the people from fire and water. ”

"Good, good, good." Zhu Ao smiled, why can a person who can eat well, that is, he can always slap the sycophants in the right place, and said, "Tell me your name." ”

Seeing Zhu Ao ask his name, the rich merchant was greatly moved, and he could also brag to others in the future that his brother was also a person who could talk to the prince, and reported very excitedly: "King Qiqi, Xiaomin's name is Chiluwen, but yesterday Xiaomin gave himself a Chinese name, called Li Zhongsu, and he will always be loyal to the king." ”

Zhu Ao was happy, this kid is too good at things, no wonder he can become a rich businessman, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, this king remembers your name, Li Zhongsu." ”

Li Zhongsu's face blossomed with joy, and he said very excitedly: "Thank you to the king, the little people are willing to saddle the horse and be loyal to the king." ”

Seeing that Li Zhongsu asked for benefits, the remaining high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen followed suit, and the entire court meeting became a fundraising meeting, in order to show loyalty to the new master and save his own life, each of them gave a lot of blood. You must know that these people were inextricably linked with Aluge before, and now that Dunhuang has changed the day, if they don't hurry up to re-team to show loyalty, it will be in danger of losing their heads.

The so-called saying that the past is not to blame, that is, fooling young people who have just left school, and people who have just gotten mixed with them, no one believes this sentence.

This ticket made a lot of money, and Zhu Ao was very happy, but as a prince, he couldn't always stay in Dunhuang, he had more important things to do.

He had already established the country, and he had to put in place an effective bureaucracy to ensure that he could control every plant and tree in the kingdom.

Zhu Ao left 15,000 men for Qu Neng to guard Dunhuang, and he returned to Zhangye with 5,000 elite soldiers to escort the spoils, and fought the autumn wind of Handong and Chijin Mongolia along the way.

The news of Zhu Ao's victory has long spread throughout Zhangye, even the entire Hexi Corridor, and the entire Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Ao walked to the edge of Zhangye City, Wei Yansheng took the officials in the city to come out to greet him, and as soon as he saw Zhu Ao, everyone bowed their heads and said: "The ministers welcome His Royal Highness back to the palace and congratulate His Highness on his victory." ”

Zhu Ao's heart was very happy, he stretched out his hand to help everyone, and said: "Everyone, please get up, you have worked hard to guard the rear for this king." ”

Zhu Ao entered Zhangye City with the support of everyone, and in the palace, Zhu Ao sat on the big throne and said with a straight face: "Ladies and gentlemen, you also know that this king has officially established the country, and from then on, all affairs of the Su country have been controlled by this king. Next, the king will establish his own official system modeled on the system of the imperial court. If you want to stay and serve the king, the king will definitely entrust him with important tasks, and if he wants to go to the court to achieve a high degree, the king will not stop him, and will write a letter of recommendation to his father on his behalf. Everyone has their own ambitions, go and stay at will, I hope everyone will consider it carefully. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone began to talk to each other, to be honest, each of them had weighed this problem, followed King Su, with King Su's current talent reserve, he would definitely be able to get a relatively high position, but in this way, he would stay in a remote vassal country for the rest of his life, and he would never have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains Dynasty to enter the prime minister and rule the world. But if you go to the imperial court to serve, although there is a letter of recommendation from King Su, the court is full of talents, and you will definitely not get a high position after you go, and you don't know what year and month you will be able to get through.

Zhu Ao looked at the way everyone turned their heads and ears, knowing that they were hesitating and discussing, he was not angry, it was a matter of personal future, everyone would be cautious, Zhu Ao was very open-minded at this point, and did not want to use strong means to suppress the ministers, if his heart was not here, even if people stayed, they would not be able to do well, and they would waste their money in vain.

Zhu Ao asked Huai En to signal the ministers to be quiet, and then said with a pleasant face: "You Aiqing don't have to rush to make a decision now, just reply to this king in three days." ”

Three days is already very good, if you can't even decide on this matter in three days, then these people's books will be read in vain, and they will immediately stop saying anything, kowtow and say, "Wait for Your Highness Longen." ”

After sending off the ministers, Zhu Ao returned to the harem after a long absence, accompanied by Huai'en, and Sun Yunqi had already led his wives to wait for him in front of the main hall.

After seeing Zhu Ao, Sun Yunqi led all the concubines to kneel down in unison, kowtowed to the ground and said: "The concubines welcome the prince back to the palace, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Everyone's face showed a jubilant expression, because they had all heard that the prince had won a big battle, defeated the main force of Hami with fewer victories, and then pursued the victory, attacked Dunhuang, and expanded the land for eight hundred miles, each of them was happy for the prince, and they were proud to marry such a wise and martial prince.

In private, they also talked about the prince's various shocking actions more than once, and the more they discussed, the more they admired their prince.

Zhu Ao took two steps quickly, helped the queen Sun Yunqi up, and said with a smile on his face: "The queen, please get up quickly." Then he said to the concubines Zhaoyi who were dressed in costumes behind her: "A few concubines should also get up quickly, I haven't seen you for many days, have you ever missed this king?" ”

When the harem group led by Sun Yunqi heard Zhu Ao's words, they were all immediately interested, and immediately stood up, hugged Zhu Ao's side, and said in a chattering voice: "How can you not want to?" What else can the concubines and others do besides missing the prince? ”

Dai Yuzhu hugged Zhu Hao's left arm and said with a concerned expression: "The concubines are very worried when they hear that the prince is in danger to lure the main force of the Hami thief army. Don't do such a dangerous thing in the future. ”

Lan Youcheng also leaned over, dragged the corner of Zhu Ao and said coquettishly: "Yes, yes." The prince has just washed away the grievances for the concubine, and the concubine wants to serve the prince well all her life to repay the prince's kindness, the prince must not be in danger, otherwise who will the concubine find to repay the favor? ”

Zhu Ao was coaxed into laughter by them and said, "Good, good, good." Listen to you, and I will not do such a dangerous thing in the future. ”
