A few days later, the two holy decrees slowly reached Xi'an.

The first decree is about Zhu Yiluo, the former king of Qin. Because Zhu Youjian had a piece of music before, he asked for a few words of love for Zhu Yixi, and this holy decree was the approval of the chapter.

In fact, most of the wills were given by Wei Zhongxian, and Tianqi didn't know it at all, and he didn't bother to know it. But all the chapters involving the war in Liaodong and the Qin King Zhu Youzhen, the apocalypse will be "imperial review". Of course, his so-called "imperial review" was only read to him by the palm seal eunuch Wang Tiqian, because he even had some difficulty in reading all the words in the cantata.

And the recital of the "Imperial Review" of the Apocalypse, the holy decree will be drafted by Wang Tiqian, and Wei Zhongxian cannot interfere with it. Through the news secretly sent by Empress Zhang, Zhu Youzhen learned about this in time, so he boldly played the chapter.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian is still powerful, and the whole court is full of eunuchs, and Zhu Youzhen does not want to confront him too early. In order to avoid overstimulating Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youzhen's recital also avoided the important and trivial, just interceding for Zhu Yixi, and did not involve other government affairs. They are all members of the royal family, and it seems reasonable to do so, so Wei Zhongxian didn't care too much.

But if there is no punishment at all, both Tianqi and Father-in-law Wei will be tantamount to slapping themselves in the face. Therefore, this holy decree only said that Zhu Yiluo's sins would no longer be investigated, and he would no longer be sent to Jingshi, but his throne would not be restored, but he would be demoted to the Marquis of Xi'an, and he could only live in the Hou Mansion, and could not go out of the mansion for half a step, which was equivalent to imprisonment in disguise.

And his two sons, Zhu Cunshu and Zhu Cunji, were demoted to commoners and no longer had the opportunity to attack the lord. It was her daughter Zhu Cunqi who restored the title of Lishan County Lord, of course, this is also the credit of Zhu Youzhen's words.

This second decree is a series of personnel appointment and dismissal decisions in Shaanxi. Among them, the most eye-catching is that Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, "became an officer due to illness", and was replaced by Yang He, the right attendant of the military department.

In fact, Wu Zhiwang himself was a famous doctor of this era, and he also wrote medical books such as "Jiyin Compendium" and "Jiyang Compendium". Don't look at the fact that he is over 70 years old, he is still in good health, and he has no disease at all. The reason why he was "Zhishi" was actually because of the thieves in Shaanxi, and the imperial court believed that Wu Zhiwang, as the highest military and political governor in Shaanxi, was mainly responsible, so he was replaced.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care who would be the governor, because whoever would be the same would be the same for him. What he was really pleased with was that Sun Chuanting's appointment was also official, and he was indeed appointed as the commander of Jingyang County. In this way, many of Zhu Youzhen's ideas can be realized through the hands of Sun Chuanting, an official of the imperial court, which is really much more convenient.

As soon as the holy decree arrived, Zhu Yiluo's family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he lost the throne, at least he saved his life and could continue to stay in the mansion, Zhu Yiluo had nothing else to ask for. In order to thank Zhu Youzhen for his help, Zhu Yiluo warmly invited Zhu Youzhen to the Hou Mansion for a banquet, and also invited the new governor Yang He and others to accompany him.

Zhu Youzhen just wanted to go to Xi'an, so under the protection of Lin Youkun and Qin Wangwei, he rode with Princess Rui'er, along the just-completed "No. 1 Project", that is, the dirt road from Qinwangzhuang to Xi'an, all the way to Xi'an, and arrived in Xi'an in a short time.

Outside the city of Xi'an, Yang He, the new governor of the three sides, had already led his military officials to greet him from afar. Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was riding a horse by himself, everyone looked at each other.

In fact, it stands to reason that the prince wants to take a sedan chair when he travels, but Zhu Youzhen suspected that the sedan chair was too slow, and came to the sentence "10,000 years is too long, just seize the day", so he sealed the sedan chair in the palace and saved a few sedan chair drivers.

Zhu Youzhen and Yang He met for the first time. He saw that this old man was kind and kind-eyed, with a childish face, and no official pretensions, and his first impression was very good. The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then entered the city and came to the Hou Mansion.

When I arrived at the Hou Mansion, that is, the Qin Wang's Mansion before, I saw the whole mansion lit up and down, and there was a festive atmosphere; The eunuchs and palace maids who originally belonged to the Xinwang Mansion all knelt outside the palace gate to welcome Zhu Youzhen at this time.

Zhu Youzhen frowned, thinking that these people are always a big trouble, and living in the Hou Mansion is not a long-term solution, so he still has to think of a suitable reason to send him back to Beijing.

Zhu Yiluo led the family to kneel in the front yard. As soon as they saw Zhu Youzhen come in, everyone kowtowed again and again to thank him for saving his life. Zhu Yiluo also said repeatedly: "King Qin's Chitose arrived, and he should have gone out of the door; However, the holy decree does not allow Yiluo to go out of the mansion for half a step, it is really not a good courtesy, please forgive the prince! ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly helped Zhu Yiluo up, and saw that he had lost a lot of weight compared to a few days ago, and he sighed in his heart. secretly thought that this guy had been powerful in Xi'an for decades, and suddenly became a prisoner, and almost lost his life; Now with his own words, he has become the Marquis of Xi'an again. The ups and downs before and after, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, are all in the emperor's thoughts. And then think of the people of the world, how can it not be so!

Zhu Yijiao and the officials were like stars holding the moon, and Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er were clustered into the banquet hall, and the two sat on the main seat, and Zhu Yijiao and Yang He accompanied each other.

After a while, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were served up one by one like flowing water, and there were forty or fifty dishes on the table in front of Zhu Youzhen. Everyone raised their glasses to toast Zhu Youzhen, and then staggered and ate and drank lively.

In order to add to the fun, Zhu Yiluo also asked the music class of the Hou Mansion to present a wonderful performance. Under the accompaniment of soft and soothing music, more than a dozen girls with outstanding looks danced during the banquet, and the dancing posture was exquisite. All the officials looked at it with straight eyes, and their hearts shook, feeling as if they had arrived in the Yaochi Wonderland, and they were about to become immortals.

Although Zhu Youzhen remained silent, his heart was full of anger and jumped up. He has only been in Qinwangzhuang for seven or eight days, but he has already inspected the people's suffering. It's a spring famine right now, and the people can't even eat, and these things are still indulging in lust, drunk and dreaming of death.

Therefore, although there are delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of him, Zhu Youzhen also feels that it is difficult to swallow, and it is not as comfortable as eating the nest head in the palace of King Qin. After a while, he took his sins.

Zhu Yiluo thought that he felt that the standard of the banquet was not high enough, so he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and accompanied Zhu Youzhen to the back hall to rest.

Entering the back hall, Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up. I saw that this room was full of treasures, in addition to the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the wall, the wooden shelves were also full of exquisite handicrafts. Among them, there are pure gold carved unicorn beasts, large pieces of Hetian jade carved Buddha statues, and the most eye-catching, is the red sandalwood box held dozens of night pearls, the beads inside the waves flowing, exuding a faint kingly atmosphere.

Zhu Yiluo saw that Zhu Youzhen's eyes were straight, and he immediately said flatteringly: "The prince has the grace of rebuilding Yiluo's family, and Yiluo really can't repay it." These things have been collected and played with by Yiyi for many years, and some of them are relatively rare. If you don't dislike it, please transport it all back to the palace..."

"That's embarrassing!" Although Zhu Youzhen's heart moved when he heard this, he said pretendly, "A gentleman doesn't win people's love, Uncle Wang has treasured things for many years, how can the little nephew be good..."

Zhu Yiluo hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Lord Wang, you made a mistake just now, Yiyi is no longer a prince!" ”

He sighed again, and said gloomily: "Neither the Cunshu nor the Cunji can inherit the title, what is the use of these things if I want them!" ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that he was so sad and felt a little pitiful, so he persuaded: "It's normal for life to have ups and downs, so why should you be discouraged for a while? Maybe one day the emperor will be gracious and restore your throne. ”

When Zhu Yicao heard this, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and quickly knelt down for Zhu Youzhen and said, "Lord Wang, you must help Yiyi!" Now I've figured it out, whether it's a pivot or a machine, as long as I can attack the lord! I hope you will say a few more kind words in front of Banzai..."

Zhu Youzhen saw Zhu Yiluo climbing down the pole, and hurriedly picked him up with a smile and said: "You can't be anxious about this, the holy decree has just been issued, how can you change the order every day?" It will take some time, and it will be slowly figured out. ”

Zhu Yiluo still thought that Zhu Youzhen was unwilling to do his best, so he hurriedly ordered someone to pack all the treasures in the whole house, and loaded them into the car of Qin Wangfu without saying anything. turned to Zhu Youzhen and said: "Some small things are not respectful, the prince must not refuse!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart moved, and he secretly thought that he was asking the Jingyang Merchants to start with antiques. Originally, he also had some inventory of his own, but it was still a little insufficient to support the operation of a trading house. Since this Zhu Yiluo is going to give it to him, he simply accepts it honestly and unceremoniously, anyway, these are all people's fat and people's ointment, instead of putting rust here in him, it is better to exchange it for silver himself and benefit the people!

Therefore, he smiled and said, "Such a little nephew is disrespectful!" ”

Zhu Yiluo was overjoyed, chatted with Zhu Youzhen for a few more words, and then went to the banquet to greet other officials.

Zhu Youzhen sat for a while, and then wanted to go home. As soon as he stood up, he saw Zhu Cunqi, the county lord of Lishan, wearing plain clothes and holding a delicate small box in his hand, and came over to bow down.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "The county lord, please get up quickly!" What are you doing here? ”

Zhu Cunqi's eyes were slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Cunqi heard the conversation between you and your father just now. There are also some gold and silver jewelry here, if the prince does not dislike it, please accept it together! ”

Zhu Youzhen's face turned red suddenly, and he said after a while: "County Lord, don't you think that this king took advantage of the danger of others and fell into the well to forcibly seize Uncle Wang's property, right?" ”

"It's not like that!" Zhu Cunqi hurriedly lowered his head, tears already appeared in his eyes, "I have heard that the prince is building a lot of construction in Jingyang, but instead of repairing the palace, he is building roads and canals. You have only been in Shaanxi for a few days, but you have done so many good things for the people; But my father has been a prince in Xi'an for decades, but he doesn't pull out a dime, and he only knows how to make money! These gold, silver and jewels are useless to stay here, so it is better to give them to the prince and do more good deeds for the people! ”

Zhu Youzhen was secretly surprised when he heard this. On the one hand, he admires Zhu Cunqi's insight; On the other hand, when it comes to building roads and canals, he obviously arranged for the Jingyang merchant gang to come out, and he hid behind the scenes, how could he even know about this county lord who lives in the boudoir?

Zhu Cunqi saw Zhu Youzhen's doubts, and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't want outsiders to know these things, right?" Please rest assured, Cunqi also learned about it from a secret source! ”
