Chapter Twenty-Eight: Feng Guan'er
"What kind of official position? I'm a woman, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? Mengzhu asked with a wink.
"It's not about men and women." Zhu Yongxing is not rigid, at this time, what is the use of following the rules, the holy decrees have been forged, what is the point of sealing an official position, "It's the treasure of the inner canon, and he is also the official of the study hall, helping me manage the inner treasury and letters." β
"The Inner Treasure and the Scholar Officer." Mengzhu smiled happily, happy when she only heard that it was two official positions, but she didn't know anything else.
Silly girl, it is said that there are two official positions, but they are both subordinate officials in the vassal king's mansion, and they even treat you as a female secretary. Zhu Yongxing felt a little guilty, but then he thought about it, the female secretary was a very promising career, and when she rolled the sheets with her big boss, she would be a noble princess.
Soon, Mengzhu, a female official, had a place to use. Yang sent Zhu Yongxing loot, a small box of gold and silver jewelry and a large box of Ming costumes, all of which were stolen from the Manmotu Mansion. As the most powerful planner of the rebellion plan, it doesn't matter if it's about merit and reward, or if it's bribery to curry favor, anyway, Zhu Yongxing suddenly has a net worth. And these belongings and costumes were taken away by Mengzhu exercising the authority of the inner treasure.
"Tomorrow, His Highness can lead the two thousand strong people in the clan to go to the Tongtie Pass." Yang is not only here to send treasures, but also to discuss with Zhu Yongxing after the trip, now that he has entered Yunnan Province, he should naturally take Zhu Yongxing's horse as the head, "The rest of the tribesmen are not fast to carry their baggage, and they can walk slowly along the Daying River after receiving the waterway tribesmen." β
Attacking Manmotu Province and then going down to Burma Pass, the Mengshan Khat people seized a lot, especially the grain and grass in Burma Pass, which was enough for the whole tribe to support more than three months. But this also brought transportation problems, and the whole family dragged their families with their mouths, and the speed of travel was naturally not fast.
Zhu Yongxing nodded, although there was a slight difference with Ji Lu, but the overall impact was not great. He may have to wait a while at Tiebi Pass, and if the historical records are correct, he will have a chance to join the two Ming armies. One is the Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan Department who came to Longchuan from the snow mountain leveling cliff climbing and attaching trees; One is the alliance of Gao Wengui, the Ming general Guangchang Marquis who participated in the Battle of Mopan Mountain, and Wu Zisheng, the Marquis of Huairen, who guarded Yongchang.
Among them, it is most likely that the combined forces with Gao Wengui, Marquis of Guangchang, and Wu Zisheng, Marquis of Huairen, will join the forces of the Marquis of Guangchang, because in history, they will go to the rescue along the route of Yongli into Burma, which is now the route of Zhu Yongxing taking the Mengshan Croats into Yunnan. Of course, with Zhu Yongxing's clan staying behind, coupled with the forged holy decree, Zhu Yongxing is still sure of preventing them from entering Burma to save the driver.
Three battles and three victories, although they were prepared to attack and unprepared, and they used stratagems, but the Mengshan Ke tribe must have suffered casualties, and it can be regarded as doing their best to draw out two thousand strong people to accompany them, and Zhu Yongxing has no opinion on this.
"The Burmese didn't react so quickly, and a two-day delay would be fine." Zhu Yongxing set aside a relaxed time for Yang in his own judgment.
Yang means boat in Mengshanke language, Zhu Yongxing sincerely admires the courage and strength of this female man, a woman can be the owner of the village, must pay more than a man, and should also have considerable brains and wisdom. However, Yang rarely showed it in front of Zhu Yongxing, and showed him more of a brave and strong side.
"Your Highness is right in your analysis." Yang nodded in agreement, took the Burmese Pass lightly, and opened the way into Yunnan, her nerves that had been tense seemed to be relaxed, and there was a bit of a woman's flavor in her demeanor, "There is one more thing, that old, old eunuch, isn't His Highness going to take him with him?" β
Zhao Guowei, Zhu Yongxing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Bring him here, it's time to tell him the real situation." β
Yang Ling got up again, stopped again, and said in a low voice: "The guards outside, His Royal Highness can be regarded as confidants, and they all obey the order. β
Zhu Yongxing looked at Yang's expression, and after blinking his eyes a few times, he probably understood what she meant, and nodded lightly, indicating that he understood in his heart.
Probably the people of the Mengshan Ke tribe misunderstood, thinking that the eunuch Zhao Guowei was sent by the emperor or the imperial court to monitor or elbow him, and Yang was hinting that Zhao Guowei could be killed by the guards. Zhu Yongxing looked at the back of Yang leaving, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this misunderstanding may also be caused by himself, Xibei is weak-hearted, and he always doesn't want to have too much contact with an old person like Zhao Guowei. In addition, if you want to engage in intrigues and tricks with the Mengshan Ke people, as well as some shady things that you have done, it is also a last resort to temporarily isolate Zhao Guowei.
Now that the situation has been decided, it is time to bring Zhao Guowei by his side as a witness. It is always unconvincing to go out of Myanmar alone and stay behind, and it is much more natural to have a eunuch by your side.
"Your Highness, the old slave has finally seen you again." Just thinking about it, Zhao Guowei had been brought in, and the old eunuch cried and pounced again.
There are so many tears of yin and yang people! Zhu Yongxing looked at the old eunuch who was crying on the ground, couldn't help grinning, and waved his hand lightly, making the two fierce mountain Ke people retreat.
"What is the system of getting up and talking, crying and wiping away tears?" Zhu Yongxing had already calculated his rhetoric, but the old eunuch came again, which was a bit unexpected.
"Your Highnessβ" Zhao Guowei stood up like a wronged little daughter-in-law, wiped his tears, swept his eyes, and saw that there was no one else in the house, and the fierce Mengshan Ke guard had already left, so he couldn't help gritting his teeth and hating: "Barbarians, barbarians who don't know etiquette, are really unreasonable." After scolding, the old guy turned to Zhu Yongxing with a concerned face, "Your Highness, you didn't suffer, did the barbarians treat you harshly?" The old slave has not been caught, and he can't protect His Highness, capital crime, capital crime! β
"I'm fine, you don't have to blame yourself, sit down and talk!" Zhu Yongxing shook his head secretly, not only should he be called carefully, and I will replace me, but it is not as straightforward as talking to the Mengshan Ke people, this old eunuch is very verbose.
"How can there be a seat for an old slave in front of His Highness? Kill the old slave, kill the old slave. Zhao Guowei seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and waved his hand again and again, looking sincerely frightened.
Zhu Yongxing coughed lightly, he didn't expect it to be so tiring to say a few words, he stopped talking nonsense, and opened his mouth to tell the story, of course, it was a story that had been processed and polished, and there were few flaws.
"The Burmese arrested the officials of our DPRK who were chasing them, confiscated their belongings, and killed them?" Zhao Guowei's eyes widened, revealing a look of surprise.
