Chapter 121
Tian Xiao smiled: "You and I are brothers, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." After Yi Jun sighed lightly a few times, he held Tian Xiao's hand and said, "Brother Huang, as soon as I sat on the dragon chair, you captured so many of my cities, which made me very embarrassed in front of the minister. If you can trust me, I promise not to use troops against your cities in the future.
But you'll have to write a few lines to me so that I can speak well in front of the minister. Hearing this, Tianxiao was happy, and naturally did not hesitate, and immediately nodded in agreement, Yijun breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I write, I gave the emperor's brother Zhu Tianxiao as the king of Longqing, and Mingsi and other prefectures and counties as Longqing Fandi, and the king of Longqing will govern one side on my behalf, and use all taxes and silver for military affairs to block the Mughal Empire." The emperor's brother wrote, the emperor's grace is vast, thank the lord Longen, govern Longqing with heart, never support the army and divide the residence, always protect the unity of the Ming Dynasty, reject the border countries, and live up to the emperor's grace. Brother Huang, what do you see?"
Tianxiao was not uncommon in the first place, and he never thought of going to the east and west to kill and seize the throne, causing his brothers to be killed and his lives ruined, which made his father Emperor Mu Zong angry under Jiuquan. Otherwise, with the morale of the three armies of Longqing, he would have taken half of the Ming Dynasty in one go.
At this moment, after hearing Yijun's words, he said: "I believe you this time." If you dare to break your word, then I will instigate the three armies to personally conquer you, seize your thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and then collect the Tatar Tumut Department, Yarkand, Turpan, Kazakhstan, Vars, Tatar and other places, and then the naval army will capture Dongfan and Japan and other places. Brother Huang, I won't scare you, you'd better keep your word, otherwise you'll regret it. After finishing speaking, Yijun took paper and ink and wrote promises to each other. Cover the jade seal, and then chat. Asked about the recent situation of the county lord of Danying, Yi Jun sighed a few times in a row and then told Tianxiao, saying that Danying died of a violent illness when she was nine years old. "My Danying is gone. ”
Tianxiao burst into tears after saying a word to himself, and fell on the bed without saying anything, and was still sobbing sadly until Tianming. In his emotional memory, a Danying county lord and a jade sister, these are the two jade girls he has remembered in his heart since he was a child, and he will never forget them in this life. Now Dan Ying is dead. Jasper doesn't know where it is. He suddenly felt very lonely, except for pain and melancholy, all happiness was taken away by Danying, and the seventeen-year-old promise was gone.
Yi Jun came back early. When Tianxiao saw it, he asked, "Brother Huang." Where is Danying's tomb? I'm going to sacrifice. Yi Jun's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "I don't know where Danying is buried." Besides. This is the palace, how can you come from Hu and what kind of system. Then he persuaded and lied, and promised again, saying that he would definitely sue him after inquiring about the cemetery of the county lord of Danying in the future. Tianxiao knew that Yi Jun didn't want to sacrifice Dan Ying at all, and used such to prevaricate, but he had no choice but to give up, but he hated this imperial brother more and more in his heart, and always wanted to do something to take revenge on him, so as to vent the hatred in his heart.
The two then had a long chat, and when Yijun asked when Longqing had "transformed" so many soldiers and horses, Tianxiao made up nonsense and said: "Brother Huang, Longqing's male division is fed with silver. At the beginning, they forcibly recruited troops from the people, and then got some strongmen and pirates, and they didn't need to train, as long as they were promised that for every city they captured, they would be allowed to plunder for half a day. Brother Huang, this is called that there must be brave men under the heavy reward. If you want to enjoy the country forever, you have to be ruthless, you have to change the way to tax, and with silver, you can sit in peace. Brother Huang, it is useless for you to prosper the economy, and returning the land to the people will only make you poor and enrich others. Hearing this, Yijun nodded again and again. At this time, the eunuch came to spread the word, saying that Zhang Juzheng was here to talk about land measurement, and Yijun could only go out.
Tianxiao half-lay on the imperial brother's dragon bed and recalled everything with Danying, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, and sometimes talking to himself. Yi Jun was listening to it with relish, and when he heard that compared with Hongji, there were three million more hectares of land, and he was very happy, and he laughed out loud. Tianxiao, who was in pain, heard this laughter, first covered his ears with his hands, and then took a piece of clothing from the hanger, draped it over his body, and lay down on the bed, and then took a nap, not wanting to fall asleep. But when he woke up, he heard that Zhang Juzheng was still nagging Yijun outside, so he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to walk through the main gate, so he left the dormitory through the window.
At this time, it was already night, Tianxiao turned a few corners only to find that he was still wearing the clothes of the imperial brother, and he wanted to send it back, but he was afraid of bumping into someone, so he simply took it off and tied it around his waist, climbed over the wall and crossed the building like a no-man's land, and unconsciously came to the harem again. He touched into the chamber of a palace maid, and happened to meet the palace maid bathing in the wooden basin, and felt bored and turned around and just wanted to leave, but he collided with a maid, and was so shocked that the maid had broken her neck before she could scream, and fell to the ground and became a ghost. "Is that you? plum. The palace maid heard the sound and asked, and then came out of the wooden basin naked, Tianxiao hurriedly rushed over in surprise, waved her hand and just wanted to slap her Tianling cover, but saw that she looked seven points similar to Xuemei, but she was more gorgeous than Xuemei, she could be called a stunner in the world, and she took pity on the jade for a while, and hurriedly withdrew her palm power to block her mouth, and said softly: "As long as you don't scream, I will never hurt you, do you hear clearly?"
Do you know who this palace maid is, yes, she is really the first stunner Xiulan in the Celestial Empire. It turned out that Yijun couldn't stand it, and after thinking about the pros and cons, he asked people to entertain Xiulan, who was under house arrest, and was ready to have a good time first, but when Tianxiao came, he could only endure it for one night. Who expected that there would be another Zhang Juzheng today, so it was relieved, who knew that Xiulan almost died under Tianxiao's palm. Seeing Xiulan's eyes nodding in horror, Tian Xiao let go of her and dragged the maid's body to a dark place and closed the door.
After a quiet meeting with each other, Tianxiao asked Xiulan to put on her clothes and sit on the edge of the bed together to chat. "My name is Zhu Tianxiao, I am the brother of Zhu Yijun, I arrived in the capital yesterday, and stayed in the imperial brother's dormitory for one night, I was still chatting just now, but Zhang Juzheng came, I came out, I didn't want to break into your residence by mistake, and I killed your maid, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. What about you, what's your name?" After being locked up for so long, Xiulan was no longer afraid, and when she saw that Tianxiao was so honest, it didn't look like a fake, so she said, "Xiulan." My name is Xiulan, and I am a disciple of Baiyue Ziyunguan, who was robbed into the palace by Zhu Yijun. Yesterday, my father-in-law suddenly said that the emperor let me enter his bedroom. Phew, dreaming, how can I take him. Hmph, I had already thought about it, and I killed him with scissors while he was doing that with me. ”
Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, smiled and asked, "Since you refuse to obey him, why don't you go home?" Xiulan felt that this question was very funny, so she sighed and cried softly: "If you enter this iron cage, you won't be able to get out in this life." Tianxiao smiled: "What's so difficult about this, if I can get in, you can get out." Xiulan was so smart, she was very happy when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The masters in the palace are like clouds, how can you and I go out?" Tianxiao sneered when he heard this: "The masters in the palace don't work, if I meet them, come one to fight one, and two to die a pair." I said I could take you away, and I could take you away. Xiulan saw that Tianxiao had a dragon robe tied around her waist, so she asked, "Then how do you take me out?" Tianxiao smiled: "It's up to you." If you want to be bright and bright, you will go through the gate, and you will definitely die.
If you're looking for something a little more exciting, go up to it, you're sure to find it fun. Xiulan clapped her hands and said happily: "Then take me out of the palace quickly, just go up, I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment." Tian Xiao nodded, pushed Xiulan to open the door and walked out of the wing, and said, "Remember, don't make a sound, I will help you go up the room and cross the wall and leave this ghost place." Xiulan said "um" lightly, Tianxiao took advantage of the darkness to avoid several teams of inspecting eunuchs, hugged Xiulan's willow waist, went up to the room, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
After flying up and down the room for a while, he jumped down and landed outside the palace. Tian Xiaole asked, "It's fun." Seeing Xiulan nodding and gasping for breath, she smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, with me, no one can hurt you." Let's go, find a place to eat first, and then leave the capital. Hearing Xiulan's promise, Tianxiao took her to the Fulai Inn first to retrieve the black blood god horse and the silver hook plum blossom spear. Then he found a high-class restaurant, tied his horse to the stall in the courtyard, and stepped into the gate with a sword and a gun. The hall was full, talking and laughing, and Tianxiao hurriedly retreated.
Who knew that the shopkeeper's eyes were sharp, and when he saw their outfits, the women's palace clothes, the men's cotton clothes, and the most dazzling thing was the top-grade embroidered clothes that resembled a dragon robe tied to Tianxiao's waist. "Don't go, there is still a private room upstairs, please come with me." After making a gesture of "please", he respectfully led the way.
When I entered the store, as soon as I stepped onto the stairs, I heard someone in the group shouting, "Master." Tianxiao didn't care for a while, didn't look back, just whispered to Xiulan, like a sympathetic companion, and followed the shopkeeper who turned back three times and stepped on the wooden ladder to the upstairs. When passing through the corridor, the shout of "Master" sounded below, and Tian Xiao inadvertently looked at the sound and saw that it was a middle-aged man of different races with a thick waist and broad shoulders waving at him. He didn't know him even if he thought about it, he mistakenly thought that this man had recognized the wrong person, and he didn't pay attention to him, so he walked a few steps and followed the shopkeeper to a private room. "The two of them are seated, and the little one will go and make a pot of tea first, and send it immediately. ”
The shopkeeper nodded and retreated, and then closed the door gently. Tianxiao also had no intention of admiring the refined household goods in the room, and asked Xiulan softly. "In the future, how do you plan to make a living?" After a pause, he said, "The silver is not a problem, if you want 120,000 taels, I can get it for you." I'm referring to where your family lives and who you plan to take refuge with, as long as you say it, even if it's on the horizon, I'll escort you all the way there, and I won't lie to you. Thinking of her future life, Xiulan suddenly put down her head and played with her hair with her snow-white and pink fingers, and she didn't squeak for a long time.
At this time, the shopkeeper pushed the door in, followed by a middle-aged man, who was shouting "Master" downstairs just now, and said when he entered the door: "Master, I am the three heroes of the Western Regions." Then he waved his hand to the shopkeeper and said, "Don't ask more, look at my master's and sister's outfit, you will know that it is the body of a thousand gold, the skin of ten thousand jade."
Hurry up and get the best food in your restaurant, and I'll pay for it. Where do you dare to say more after the shopkeeper hears it, but I am afraid that the wine and food will be late and offend the royal relatives, so I will let people seal the restaurant, and the door will be cut down, so I hurriedly put down the teapot, nodded and retreated, and closed the door. He hurried downstairs, beckoned his men, and told them to take good care of the eight tables of the red-tailed snake downstairs, so as not to inadvertently offend the people who could kill his whole family.
