In early summer, the heat was scorching the earth, but fortunately, at this time, Zhu Youxiao and others were resting in the mountains, and they did not feel the slightest bit of summer heat, but when Zhu Youxiao's loud "no" was spoken, the whole air was stagnant.

On the left and right sides of Zhu Youxiao, five brocade guards holding embroidered spring knives appeared on the side of the bluestone slab, and the ten central special operations personnel of the Fifth Army on the hillside behind Zhu Youxiao also suddenly turned around, picked up their black shiny rifles, and put their index fingers on the trigger.

Wang Siren was so frightened that his face immediately turned from red to white, and even the hand serving the tea almost couldn't hold the teacup steadily, the shaky tea had already spilled out, and the hot water scalded his old skin, and he didn't know it.

But Liu Ru, who is not used to seeing it, is still calmly sweeping the wind and cooking tea, with an indifferent expression.

And Zhu Youxiao waved his hand behind him at this time, and the Jinyi guards on the left and right sides suddenly pushed away ten steps away like a gust of wind, so as not to disturb His Majesty Yaxing, and the ten fifth-season central special forces on the hillside also immediately escaped into the grass, and the muzzle of the rifle did not appear in the field of vision of all the accompanying personnel so explicitly.

Wang Siren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time, smiled at Zhu Youxiao very embarrassedly, and hurriedly tried the sweat on his forehead.

Zhu Youxiao still picked up the tea very calmly at this time, looked at the waterfall that was flowing straight down to the bottomless cliff on the opposite side, and only said: "You are too old, and my palace is not for you to stroke the qin, you want to listen to the qin and let your concubine play it for you." ”

Liu Ru couldn't help but burst into tears and laugh when he heard this, and the scene when His Majesty suddenly drank: "No" at the beginning made him still remember it vividly, and now he felt funny when he saw Wang Siren smiling, so he couldn't help but say narrowly: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Wang Jizhong is a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all unique for a while, Your Majesty is here today, why not listen to it." ”

Zhu Youxiao was slightly stunned, he knew that this Liu Ru was taking revenge on Wang Siren for letting her play the piano just now, but Zhu Youxiao himself also wanted to see if this Wang Siren was still as arrogant as before and refused to give in to any request of the emperor, so Zhu Youxiao also agreed to Liu Ruyi's proposal, nodded and said: "That's right, Wang Siren, you play it, the cicadas chirping all over the woods are almost making my ears hear the cocoon." ”

Liu Ru couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, and at the same time looked at Wang Siren, who had half-white sideburns, to see how he answered.

Wang Siren didn't expect that His Majesty's rejection of his intention to Liu Ru was because he was too old, but this also made him realize that he was really a little bold just now, and he dared to covet the people around His Majesty, and it was obvious that this Gong'e was not an ordinary person around His Majesty, and he had been severely remembered by His Majesty in his heart.

"The criminal ministers obey the order, but there is no qin and no kite here", Wang Siren did not dare to disobey, in the past few years in Suiding Mansion, he has long lost his sharpness, because this is not better than Jiangnan, and there are more bad habits and stereotypes in the officialdom than Jiangnan, if you don't drill the camp to show weakness, I am afraid that I have already been thrown into the deep ditch and the bones are gone, and now Wang Siren can survive in this poor mountain and bad water, thanks to his change of former sharpness, knowing how to follow the time, and the way of greeting, so that he can always be a teacher, and his life is quite good, at least he doesn't have to farm his own land to maintain his life like Qi Biaojia.

"I'll take it", Liu Ru was like a rabbit and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then took out a guqin in a blink of an eye, tried the sound, and handed it to Wang Siren with both hands: "Please, Mr. Ji Chong." ”

"Thank you, thank you", Wang Siren hurriedly expressed his gratitude, smiled awkwardly, and saluted Zhu Youxiao first: "The criminal minister's skills are unfamiliar, and playing the piano is the last skill, if it stains Your Majesty's ears, please forgive Your Majesty for the crime of rebellion." ”

"Old man, you just play yours", Zhu Youxiao said impatiently, and at this time, Wang Siren had already stepped back and sat on a green lawn, and after a gust of wind blew through the strings, he calmed down, and his fingers began to fluctuate the strings after taking a deep breath.

Suddenly, there was a bang, the strings moved, and the noisy sound was like the flow of water, sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, cleansing people's hearts, making people can't help but close their eyes, as if the beauty of the world can only be heard by the ear, and what the eye sees can no longer replace what the ear hears.

Zhu Youxiao has to admit that this Wang Siren is indeed a talented person, and this piano can indeed be intoxicating, of course, let Wang Siren stroke the qin, not only let Zhu Youxiao listen to it comfortably, but also feel comfortable in his mood, at least it shows that he exiled these Jiangnan literati to such a poor mountain and bad water place, and there are indeed people whose brains turn around and begin to obey themselves as emperors.

"Go back to the Hanlin Academy to be a bachelor, there is no need to stay in this Suiding Mansion anymore, but you can't forget the foundation of teaching and educating people, in addition, thinking that you have been away from your hometown for several years, I will grant you half a year off, the students were too noisy at the beginning, and your ancestors have also been a lot more passive, you go back and find someone to rebury it", as soon as Wang Siren's piano stopped, Zhu Youxiao stood up first, and did not have any evaluation of the piano that Wang Siren talked about, but directly talked about Wang Siren's next arrangements.

And Wang Siren is favored for this now, although his piano has been played, but his hand is still on the strings, forgetting to withdraw his hand, mainly because he really did not expect that he would be directly appointed as a cabinet minister after playing the piano for His Majesty, this is as a position of the cabinet minister, as a third-class jinshi He has always been able to serve as a local magistrate and other officials, and later because he opposed the imperial court's suppression of the Jiangnan gentry group with Dong Qichang and others, he was exiled to Dongxiang County, Suiding Prefecture, and it has been nearly ten years now.

His greatest wish at this time in his life was to be able to get the permission of the imperial court to return to his hometown, after all, he had been wandering abroad for nearly ten years, and according to the decree of the imperial court, he could not easily return to his hometown.

Wang Siren didn't expect that he was suddenly appointed as a Hanlin official at this time, and he would have the opportunity to return to his hometown for half a year, which naturally made him dare not believe that this was true.

Liu Ru saw that Wang Siren didn't take the initiative to return the royal guqin for a long time, so he had to take the initiative to hold one end of the qin, and pulled it directly outward: "Idiot, don't hurry up and thank Your Majesty, what are you doing with your Majesty's guqin." ”

Wang Siyi came back to his senses when he heard Liu Ru say this, and he knelt down directly towards Zhu Youxiao in a hurry: "Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Wang Siren suddenly got the position of a bachelor in the Hanlin Pavilion because he played a piano for His Majesty, and the fact that some of the stubborn Jiangnan scholars still had a shame on Wang Siren after hearing it, and there were also many Jiangnan literati who began to see through some things, and realized from Wang Siren's incident why he was exiled here, and when His Majesty came, how should he deal with it in order to return to his former glorious life.

After passing Suiding Mansion, go south along the Qujiang River, enter the Jialing River, and then enter Chengdu Mansion by the Tuojiang River.

As the saying goes, Sichuan is the country of abundance, and the real wealth actually refers to the area of Chengdu Prefecture, the prosperity or decline of farming culture depends on the development of water conservancy, and the success of the great project of Dujiangyan has made Chengdu Mansion for thousands of years do not know what hunger is, and now after Zhu Youxiao enters Chengdu Mansion, you can also see the fertile land as far as the eye can see, most of the men, women and children live leisurely, and the houses are mostly whitewashed walls and tiles, even when Luanyi passes through the countryside, You can also see the landlord in silk and satin, sitting on a sliding pole and wandering around.

After two hundred years of development in the Ming Dynasty, Chengdu Mansion has long been a world full of flowers, and its prosperity is naturally more than ten times more prosperous than the so-called prosperous period of chaff, and now thanks to the arrival of Zhu Youxiao, the fate of the Ming Dynasty has been completely changed, so that the so-called Sichuan Massacre will no longer exist, Zhang Xianzhong is now missing, and he does not know that he was lost in the corner of history.

With the development of industrialization in the Ming Dynasty, even in inland areas such as Chengdu Prefecture, a large number of factories and workshops can be seen springing up like mushrooms after a rain, countless gorgeous carriages can be seen on the avenue, and the latest bicycles developed by the Royal Industries Company have also begun to be active on the Chengdu Plain, and the wheels composed of fine iron wires have brought this country of abundance like a time axis for hundreds of years.

The jingling bells floated in the sky of Jianyang like a heavenly sound, and when I looked back, I saw that camels from the Western Regions were carrying goods in this green mountains and green waters, and the mechanical beauty brought by the moving bicycles and carriages was reflected with the mystery from the alien race, and it became the most beautiful scenery of the country of abundance in the middle of the Great Apocalypse.

Different from going to Jiangnan, as the emperor, he came to this land in southern Sichuan not to fight with the gentry who had both merchants and landlords, but to see the Jiangnan literati who were exiled here all the way and the barbarian soldiers who were ready to move and not very peaceful, and also needed to take this opportunity to come to the southwest to see and contact the Wusi-Tibet region at this time, although the center of gravity of the Ming Empire has always been in the South Seas and Siberia in the north, but the belonging to the roof of the world has never been forgotten.

The importance of Chengdu Mansion is not only because of his wealth, but because he is an important hub connecting the barbarians and the core areas of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the vassal king was strictly ordered by Zhu Youxiao to return to Beijing to find another way out, the king of Shu in Chengdu has always been timid and did not dare to oppose the imperial court, so he is one of the early vassal kings to enter the capital, and the so-called Shu Wangfu is also empty, and now it is just used as Zhu Youxiao's palace.

The governor and governor of Sichuan, as well as the political envoy and other officials, naturally had already been waiting in the Qingbaijiang area, and Zhu Youxiao ignored this, what he only cared about now was when Qin Liangyu would be summoned to Chengdu Mansion and several other envoys.

Today's governor of Sichuan is Ma Shiying, and he has just taken office, and now Zhu Youxiao almost regards this Ma Shiying as the vanguard of administrative reform, almost where the reform is promoted, this Ma Shiying's official should be there, and now it is urgent to change the land and return to the stream in the entire southwest region, and Sichuan, as the first province in the southwest region, is naturally urgent, so Zhu Youxiao decided to send Ma Shiying to Sichuan to be the governor, and at the same time, he also wanted Qin Liangyu of Shizhu Tusi to set an example, As long as the stone pillar Tusi can accept the direct dispatch of officials by the imperial court, the remnants of luxury can also be divided.

Of course, if the land reform and return to the river go smoothly, the Ming Dynasty will have no worries about the future march into Us-Tibet and India, and even march into Annam in the future, and even control the entire Southeast Asian Peninsula and the Indian Peninsula.

"Weichen has seen Your Majesty", Qin Liangyu is already over the age of sixties, but a piece of chain mail still looks heroic and extraordinary on his body, Zhu Youxiao saw that she was going to bend her knees and make a big salute, so he hurriedly walked over and supported Qin Liangyu: "The old general can't help it, I rely on you in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty to rely on you, how dare you make such a big gift", said, Zhu Youxiao saw that Qin Liangyu was followed by a young student, and thought that maybe it was the people of the Shizhu Tusima family, that is, the junior of Qin Liangyu, so he asked him: "How is the old general's health recently, How much can you eat, but you can still dance your sword and draw your bow? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, my grandmother is getting older now, her hair is losing her teeth, and the amount of food is not as good as before.

Zhu Youxiao could hear that this young offspring was the child of Qin Liangyu, and he was obviously very filial to his mother, otherwise he would not have answered so truthfully.

However, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but glare at this time: "Nonsense, which eye of yours saw that my hair was falling out of my teeth, and the amount of food was not as good as before, and now I let you come, not to let you talk nonsense!" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, my grandmother is very old, and I ask Your Majesty to allow my grandmother to return to her hometown for the sake of our Ma family's bloody battlefield for the Ming Dynasty for many years, and to be filial piety to all Weichen!"

The young descendant knelt down as he spoke, and his head slammed on the ground, while Qin Liangyu still wanted to say something, but he was obviously moved by his grandson's behavior of begging His Majesty the Emperor so much, so he didn't say anything for a while.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "It is worthy of being the grandson of the old general, and he can afford the word benevolence and filial piety, but you all misunderstood me, I summoned the old general Qin this time, not to ask the old general Qin to take command of the battle, but to reward the old general Qin, Liu Ruyi, go and bring the bullfighting uniform I prepared for the old general Qin, Li Mingrui, the will of the Tao, and immediately seal Qin Liangyu as a loyal marquis, hereditary replacement, in order to comfort the good generals in the world!" ”

Qin Liangyu didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao would suddenly and directly crown herself as a marquis, but she didn't know that Zhu Youxiao did this but just wanted to continue to stabilize other toasts who were about to move.
