Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 155 The Big Wedding III

Chapter 155: The Big Wedding Three

"At least these people are really rooting for me." Zhu Houhuang's heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

Zhu Houhuang waved his hand, and a eunuch immediately shouted: "King Yong's wedding, rejoice with the people." ”

A few people spilled out a lot of copper coins, jumping all over the place, and every soldier who escorted the bride was stuffed with a red envelope.

Zhu Houhuang even opened the treasury and invited the people of the city. This expense is the biggest expense in Zhu Houhuang's wedding.

There is no need to mention how the people outside cheered.

Zhu Houhuang restrained the red satin in his hand, and the other end of the red satin was placed in Xu Lan's hand, Xu Lan had a red head cover, and a headdress and hand ornament, as long as he walked lightly, he was full of jingling sounds, which was pleasant to the ear.

And Shao Fangfei and Yunmo followed behind Xu Lan side by side. The expression was completely different.

Shao Fangfei couldn't help but widen her eyes, trying to see something through the red hijab, wanting to see what it was like outside, but she didn't dare, so she had to look down at Xu Lan's skirt and walk.

And Yunmo's body did not move at all, and when he walked, there was not even the sound of jewelry and jade pendants. It seems that she deliberately avoided this as she walked.

Walking through several courtyards, the courtyard was full of guests. Penghu, Dayuan, Qi's, Shaoxian, Beigang, almost all the leaders of these five places came, and among the Yongwang Mansion, headed by Yang Shen, there were many people with real power below. The generals at all levels in King Yong's army, except for a group of people who need to maintain order, the rest of the people are also here. There is no shortage of sailors, the old and young of the Xu family have already arrived here from Ningbo.

As soon as they saw Zhu Houhuang coming in, they all stood up and saluted.

Zhu Houhuang led the three of them into the main hall. Empress Dowager Wu was sitting on top of the high hall, her face was extremely ugly, and she felt that this wedding was simply very simple. It's just that the son doesn't want to make a big deal, and he wants to be simple and vulgar as soon as possible.

Even if Empress Dowager Wu weighs Zhu Houhuang's difficulties, his wedding is not only a wedding, but also an activity to calm people's hearts, not only to be thrifty, but also to have fun with the people and calm people's hearts. It was not Zhu Houhuang's original intention to make it too high and low.

Moreover, after the Francophone left, Zhu Houhuang's face was gloomy all day long. No one dared to face Zhu Houhuang directly.

This matter was decided in this way, but it was decided, which did not mean that Empress Dowager Wu was satisfied.

After hurriedly saluting, Empress Dowager Wu withdrew, and Yang Shen also withdrew.

After Zhu Houhuang and the bride entered the back hall, the front was the beginning of the carnival.

Not to mention Zhu Houhuang's performance at this wedding. Speaking of Yang Shen alone, Yang Shen didn't like the excitement in the wine field, and he didn't want to mess around with these people, so he left directly.

But after a while, someone found him.

"Yongxiu, as the prime minister of Yongguo, is this how you persuade your master?" Yang Shen heard this, turned around, and found that the person who spoke was not someone else, but an acquaintance. It is now the county magistrate of Shao County, Wang Yuanhe.

"It turned out to be Brother Wang, how could I not persuade him, but King Yong is not a person in my Dao?" Yang Shen said.

In this matter, he also completely understood what kind of person Zhu Houhuang was. Zhu Houhuang has never had the word etiquette in his bones. Even if he pretends to be polite, he is also a Legalist believer in his bones, although he doesn't understand what magic power is. He can do everything with those three words.

For what etiquette is not in the eyes at all, no matter how Yang Shen advises, it is useless. Of course, there are also practical reasons, not to mention anything else, just to build a qualified palace, it will take tens of thousands of taels of silver, and a wedding will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which is very suitable.

Zhu Houhuang didn't want to spend this unjust money.

Yang Shen felt that he couldn't say that about Zhu Houhuang, so he changed the topic and said, "Brother Wang, how are you in Shao County?" ”

"What else can Shao County do? That's good. Wang Yuanhe said: "The county seat has been built into an outline, and it may be really completed next year, gathering several tribes, as well as the displaced people you exiled in the past." That's almost 10,000 people. ”

Yang Shen listened, slowly frowned, and asked, "What about the Shao family?" Yang Shen listened to him a lot, such as persuading farming, crusading against other tribes, building city walls, relocating immigrants, building roads, and so on. But he didn't say what happened to the Shao family?

Wang Yuanhe said: "What's wrong with the Shao family? ”

Yang Shen looked over, his eyes were bright, he didn't know if Wang Yuanhe was pretending to be stupid, or if he really didn't know what to do?

With Zhu Houhuang's personality, it is absolutely forbidden to have such a large local force in a county, and the so-called Shao County is simply the place of the Shao family. The influence of the Shao family in Shao County is something that Zhu Houhuang must weaken. This has nothing to do with the Shao family's defection to Zhu Houhuang.

Even if Zhu Houhuang marries Shao Fangfei, there are some things that should be done.

Yang Shen looked at Wang Yuanhe and looked like he didn't know anything, and couldn't help but say: "The Shao family is sitting in Shao County, I'm afraid it's not what His Highness wants." ”

Wang Yuanhe said: "Even though it is not what His Highness wants, they are not guilty. How can I punish the Shao family, besides, the Shao family has been operating in Shao County for more than 100 years, and I have just arrived, not relying on the Shao family and building a city, building roads, and crusading against barbarians. ”

Every time Yang Shen listens to it, he feels a little colder in his heart, he means that his good friend has not yet noticed the difference between Daming and Yongguo, and what he does is not a little picky in Daming, and it can even be called outstanding, after all, from scratch, to establish a county seat, even if there is strong support from Yongwangfu in terms of finance and population, it cannot hide Wang Yuanhe's superb means.

But it is not possible in Yongguo, Zhu Houhuang clearly hopes to establish a system directly related to homesteaders by Yongwangfu, and any family is suppressed, especially he does not want a strong man who runs rampant in a certain county. From Zhu Houhuang's attack on the three Penghu families, we can see Zhu Houhuang's ruling tendency.

It's just that the more this is the case, the more painful Yang Shen becomes.

It's not that Zhu Houhuang did something bad, it's not that what he did is wrong, it's not even that Zhu Houhuang hurt Yang Shen's own interests, and the Yang family where Yang Shen is located is also a big family in Sichuan.

Instead, Yang Shen painfully felt that Yongguo and Daming were in an unavoidable state of separation.

This time, Zhu Houhuang would rather swallow his anger than want the Fujian sailor to interfere in the affairs of Yongguo, which has been clearly demonstrated.

Yang Shen is none other than him, he is the Hanlin Bachelor of the Ming Dynasty and the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he admired Zhu Houhuang, when he first came to Dongyong, he actually came to be the chief of Yongguo with the mentality of a great Ming prefect. Even though Zhu Houhuang's so-called Yongguo is independent from the Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, this is not a problem at all.

It's just from Zhu Houhuang's mentality that he can deduce that Zhu Houhuang and Daming will only go farther and farther away in the future, and finally separate into two systems.

Maybe all this was not obvious when Emperor Zhengde was there, but after Emperor Zhengde went. This will all become quite obvious.

But Yang Shen couldn't make up his mind, whether to become the founding minister of Yongguo, or to leave.

Wang Yuanhe and Zhu Houhuang's ideas are not in harmony, and Yang Shen and Zhu Houhuang's ideas are not in harmony. Zhu Houhuang's so-called long history of King Yong is the prime minister of King Yong, but Zhu Houhuang actually collects all the decision-making power in his own hands. Speaking of himself, he has a lot of power, and he is the first person under King Yong. In fact, he is just an executor.

Zhu Houhuang looks, Corporal Lixian. From the advice like a stream. But in fact, the set of things in his heart has never changed.

Perhaps it is enough for ordinary people to enjoy such power. But who Yang Shen is, he is the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he will naturally have his own political ambitions. But under Zhu Houhuang, even though he has great power, there is no possibility of realizing his political ambitions. Thinking of the future of Yongguo and Da Ming's parting ways, Yang Shen was disheartened for a while, and he didn't have the heart to say anything more to Wang Yuanhe.

A gust of sea breeze blew, Yang Shen's pockets were flying, there was a feeling of fluttering immortals, he thought of Beijing for a while, where is the place to display his talents in the future, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's better to go back, it's better to go back." ”
