Xi'an, the palace of the king of Qin.

Since the fall of Chang'an in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been more than 100 years, the people of Guannei have lived in Hulun for a long time, and after the Yuan Dynasty captured Xi'an, most of the fertile fields in Qinchuan in 800 miles were occupied by the princes of Mengyuan and Yuan, and the people of Han people became slaves, raising cattle and horses for the nobles of Mengyuan.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been founded for 15 years, it has regained control of the Central Plains and Kyushu, but it is only about ten years.

Since the third year of Hongwu, Xu Da invaded Daidi, and then invaded Shaanxi and Gansu, and Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo, defeated the local Northern Yuan remnants in Liangzhou, and allied with the Buddha head of the Xifantou, Xi'an ushered in peace in the real sense.

At this moment, most of the soldiers and horses of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Guard are Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Deng Yu's old troops.

Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, married Deng Yu's daughter, mainly because Deng Yu's old department was powerful in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.

At this moment, in the pavilion in the palace of King Qin.

Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, was twenty-six years old at this time, he was burly and strong, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, a calm breath, holding a plate of cooked wheat, and was feeding the koi in the palace of the king of Qin.

An old slave followed him.

"What's wrong with Min'er......"

Zhu Wei threw the cooked wheat in his hand into the water with an expressionless face, and several koi fish scrambled up and down, and the water waves in the water surged, stirring up rolling waves.

That old slave is an old man who has followed King Zhu Wei of Qin for a long time.

And Min'er in Zhu Wei's mouth is the sister of Wang Baobao, who was called "the strange man in the world" by Zhu Yuanzhang, Guanyin slave Wang Min'er, she was captured in Dadu, and at the suggestion of the waiter Tao Min, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, to marry her as a "concubine", one is to recruit Wang Baobao, the second is to break the resistance of the rest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the third is to show the legal rationality of the Ming Dynasty to inherit Yuan Zuo.

"The princess is still in the courtyard, she only practices and writes every day, often sits under the tree and watches the sky, and the rest is not abnormal......"

The old slave bowed and said.

Zhu Wei frowned slightly.

"The palace maid I sent to bring her food......"

The old slave smiled bitterly, looked left and right, and there were still a few old palace maids and guards brought by the second concubine Deng in the distance, all staring at Zhu Wei and the old slave with a vigilant face, and the old slave sighed: "Just because those palace maids called the princess and saluted her, Concubine Deng ordered someone to cut off all the tongues of those palace maids, and also broke their hands and feet......"

"Jealous woman!"

Zhu Wei angrily squeezed the dish in his hand, and the dish shook wildly, causing the cooked wheat brush to fall, and many koi fish were teased and surged at Zhu Wei's feet.

His eyebrows are a bit like Zhu Yuanzhang.

His eyes narrowed, and Zhu Wei said in a deep voice: "General Ning Zheng hasn't come back yet?" ”

General Ning Zheng in Zhu Wei's mouth is Zhu Wei's biggest reliance, Ning Zheng, the commander of Hezhou Wei, is also a member of the Ming Dynasty's founding generals, but at this moment he is obeying Mu Ying's command in Sichuan and fighting with the local remnant forces. It was also Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant military general who personally arranged for Zhu Wei.

The old slave shook his head.

Zhu Wei took a deep breath, biting his cheek muscles, he slowly let go of his hands, stared at the koi fish competing in the pond, and shouted in a low voice: "I just fell in love with someone I shouldn't love, am I wrong?" ”

The old slave was bitter when he heard this.

When the love word is deep, who can tell right from wrong?

……

Princess Wang Min of Qin, lives alone in a small secluded courtyard, and few people come every day except for a few people who deliver food.

At this moment, a woman dressed in a gorgeous costume with a cold face slowly paced into the door.

The second concubine of the King of Qin, Deng.

The daughter of Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo.

The capital of the northwest provinces, except for Xu Da and Feng Sheng's old department, belongs to the Wei Guogong Deng Yu family is the most powerful, his five sons are all nobles in the army, the eldest son Deng Zhen inherited Shen Guogong, and Li Shanchang's brother Li Cunyi has a close relationship, in Henan, the Central Plains and other places have a wide range of fertile land and all kinds of trading.

and the younger sister of the second concubine Deng married Zhou Wei, the commander of the Henan guard...... It can be said that all parts of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo have Deng Yu's old ministry everywhere, and there are Deng Yu relations everywhere.

Since the third year of Hongwu, the nine sides and nine guards began to garrison the town, because the logistics of grain and grass is unsustainable, Zhu Yuanzhang took Li Shanchang's suggestion, let go of the salt monopoly, and allowed merchants to send grain and grass to the border pass, in exchange for salt, the imperial court gave benefits to the people, so that the problem of grain and grass in the border was greatly alleviated, and the most profitable were Shaanxi and Henan merchants.

One is that Qinchuan, 800 miles from Shaanxi, has been a major grain-producing province since ancient times, and there are many grains stored in the official warehouse, and there are many grains among the people.

Secondly, because in the pre-Yuan Dynasty, the merchants in these places had many exchanges with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and other grassland places, and the routes were skillful.

However, it should be noted that these big merchants have few Han merchants and many color merchants......

This invisibly made officials and generals from all over Shaanxi make a windfall, and the most profitable ones were naturally Deng Yu, Feng Sheng, Xu Da's old department, and the king of Qin married Deng Yu's daughter as his wife, not because of this reason.

And this also led to the fact that the northern lands and the Northern Yuan Dynasty were inextricably linked, and many grain merchants were lustful people, and the merchant caravans traveled all over the desert grassland and the Central Plains, reselling them back and forth, and planting spies on each other......

After more than ten years of development, now the caravan camels and generals in the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region have the shadow of the Deng Yu family.

Even Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, can only be an open-eyed puppet most of the time in the mansion.

The second concubine Deng has a cold appearance, and it is rumored that she is mean and jealous, which makes some sense, in fact, she has too strong desire to control, and she can't allow others to divide her love, the second concubine Deng has been favored by five brothers in Deng Yu's family since she was a child, and the five brothers spoiled her to the sky and developed her character of only love......

The second concubine is not unacceptable, but ......

Concubine Zheng, it turned out to be the remnant of the Northern Yuan!

How can Deng endure?

She walked into the courtyard coldly, a slender woman, sitting quietly on a chair, although she was a silhouette, but she could vaguely see that her face was beautiful, she did not belong to the Deng family, she just lay on the chair, looking up at the sky quietly.

"The princess is so interested......"

Deng Shi sneered and approached, next to this Wang Min chair there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, on which some horses were drawn, and there was a crescent moon.

"Humph......"

Deng snorted coldly.

"Don't think that I don't know your plans, you bribe the maids sent by the King of Qin with gold and silver, and ask them to send a message to your Northern Yuan spies lurking in Xi'an, and want to contact your brother Tayin Timur, or your brother King Kongu?"

"Oh, I forgot to say, those maids were cut off by me, you have a bit of a means to buy people's hearts, those maids didn't say anything about the stall of the Beiyuan spy in Xi'an until they died......"

Deng picked up a brush and drew a bird under the horse and the crescent moon.

"But don't think that you are really good at buying people's hearts, it was the King of Qin who gave a death order to those maids, and they were not allowed to betray you."

Deng's face showed anger, she gritted her teeth desperately, her eyes were spewing fire, her palms were white like green and white jade, and she said word by word: "How many evil things I have done for the Ming border guards, and for the stability of his position as the king of Qin!" Why, why does he only have you, the scourge of the country, in his eyes, and he doesn't want to think about what will happen if he is carried by you, a femme fatale-hearted Beiyuan poisonous woman!? ”

Syllable!

The brush in his hand was directly broken.

Second Concubine Deng's cheeks were already a little distorted.

Wang Min, the woman with a beautiful silhouette, turned around and glanced at Deng's family, her eyebrows were not as beautiful as a woman in the Central Plains, nor as rough as a grassland woman, her eyes were black and her hair was like satin, but she was expressionless, she raised her head and whispered: "I can't go back to the desert, you can take a handful of sand and go......"
