Chapter 477: Can you be a son-in-law if you can't seal the king?
Because Yunnan's finances are very tight, and the continuous war requires a lot of military pay, the palace built by Li Dingguo for Yongli in Wuhua Mountain has not been completed, so Emperor and Empress Yongli still lived in the Duke of Qian in Mu Tianbo. ¥f, during the five or tenth dynasties, the Yongli meeting went to the vast Yunnan Gongyuan to hold a court meeting. The other time was the governor of the Duke of Guo's Mansion. The scale of the Duke of Guo's Mansion was second only to the Duke of Kunming City, but it was still a bit more difficult to be the emperor and empress.
Although Princess Changle, Zhu Shuyi, is young, but in terms of age, she is Yongli's aunt. In addition, her uncle was Emperor Longwu recognized by the Yongli court, and her father was the pseudo-Shaowu Emperor who died for the country. Therefore, Yongli specially ordered the inner court to arrange Princess Changle in accordance with the princess' treatment. However, this princess was treated slightly better than the daughters of an ordinary rich family in Kunming City. If she had to arrange the princess treatment in accordance with the princess in the system, Yongli would not be able to provide the money.
King Li Dingguo of Jin was good at governing the army but not good at managing the people. Now the basis for Yunnan was set by Sun Kewang at that time. At that time, Sun Kewang felt it was difficult to resist the Qing army with the strength of the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, and all the expenses were also compact. Now, the Yongli court only relies on supply to Yunnan, so it is definitely very difficult to finance.
It’s not that Yongli didn’t want the palace in Wuhua Mountain to be built soon, but he had no money, and the inner treasury only had ten thousand taels of silver for use. He couldn’t even hear the sound of water when throwing out this little money. Even now, the various yamen in the inner court are still in name only, and only the jails and the jails play the role of the inner court. Most of the other yamen have been cut off. Yongli, who is in trouble, can’t afford to support so many eunuchs. The supply of Emperor and Empress Yongli can save as much as possible. The emperor and the empress are like this. It is naturally impossible for Princess Changle to have any special light. Being able to give orders according to the princess’ arrangements is Yongli’s greatest favor for this little aunt.
Princess Changle's residence was the house where Chen, the mother of the Qian Kingdom Duke Mu Tianbo, lived. In the Shadingzhou rebellion, the Chen family, together with their daughter-in-law Jiao and their two other sons Mu Tianze and Mu Tianrun were killed by the rebellious army. There are now very few descendants of the Mu family.
Guo Zhiqi was a bachelor of the cabinet, but was a foreign minister, and Zhu Shuyi was a princess and was not married, so it was not convenient for him to meet the princess according to etiquette. But at this time, there were no rules in the Duke's Mansion that was temporarily in the Duke's Mansion.
Under the leadership of the palace maid, Guo Zhiqi soon met Princess Changle. When he went to Guangdong a few years ago, the princess looked a little thin, but now she looks a lot taller. I think it's because of her better diet in the past few months.
"Princess!"
Guo Zhiqi stepped forward and asked to salute him as soon as he edited the video, but the princess took the lead in stopping him. Guo Zhiqi was not polite, and did not insist on salute him. Instead, he asked the princess about her food, daily life and life recently. The elders' care for the younger generation was beyond words. The princess was moved and asked the palace maid to bring a stool to invite Guo Zhiqi to sit down. Then he said with concern: "Have the bachelor been in danger this way?"
Guo Zhiqi said: "Princess Lao is worried. This time he was not in danger. He just encountered continuous rainy days when he arrived in Guangxi. It was inconvenient to travel and delayed his schedule. Otherwise, he would be able to come back a month ago."
"The bachelor is an important official of the country, but he has been in danger and has been working hard for me to contact us. Shuyi admires me."
"This is my duty as a minister. Now the country is in a difficult situation. If my ministers don't do their best, should we wait until the country is destroyed before we can do our best?"
When Guo Zhiqi said this, he was a little sad. Looking at the court who was still running around, except for him, Wen'anzhi from Sichuan, everyone else was just living a life of drowsiness and a passive life. There were also those who like Ma Jixiang who used power and profit, which made the inside and outside of the court hinder. He really didn't know that the disaster was coming at all.
Some words, Guo Zhiqi was not good to say in front of the princess. Seeing that what he said just now made the princess a little sad. Thinking of her miserable life, he hurriedly said to her with some joy: "I have carefully investigated when I was in Guangdong, and I have visited the princess who is the scholar."
"Oh?" Zhu Shuyi became nervous immediately after hearing this.
Guo Zhiqi smiled, but did not keep it a secret, and said to the princess: "The scholar is Xingping Bo."
"Xingping Bo?" Zhu Shuyi was stunned for a moment and said in a lost voice: "But the prime minister of Zhou Shixi of Guangdong Town?"
"It's him."
Guo Zhiqi nodded and said, "Zhou Shixiang is a member of Xinhui. His parents, wife and children were killed by the Qing army. He avenged his parents, wife and children and killed the Qing general. Yunlong fled to Daqiao Mountain. Later, with Hu Quan and others, he went down the mountain to attack Luodingzhou City. The deeds here are consistent with what the princess said." He also told the princess about Zhou Shixiang's appearance. After hearing this, the princess naturally matched the impression in his heart. He couldn't help but be happy, but because of his daughter's family, he did not dare to express his joy.
Guo Zhiqi told the princess about Zhou Shixiang's regaining Guangzhou again. The princess was naturally shocked after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the scholar was so capable back then. Since he talked about the regaining of Guangzhou, Guo Zhiqi also told the princess about asking for the title of king.
"The emperor refused to accept my opinion. If the Guangdong soldiers did not come to serve the king, the King of Jin would be afraid that Yunnan would be in danger. The court said that they would be moved again."
After Guo Zhiqi finished speaking, his brows frowned. The Qing army really entered Yunnan, but he didn't know where the court could move to. The princess didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll tell the emperor that he would be the king of Zhou Shi, and let Guangdong soldiers come to serve the king immediately."
Guo Zhiqi smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor is called Ma Jixiang, Wang Kun is bewitched. The princess goes and says, I am afraid that the emperor will be even more angry with Zhou Shixiang."
The princess was speechless and sighed: "I just regret that I am a daughter and cannot lead troops to kill the enemy."
Daughter body?
Guo Zhiqi suddenly thought that since ancient times, there were only two ways to gather his subordinates. One was to be promoted to the title, and the other was to marry each other. The emperor refused to be appointed as the prince, and he dragged the prince to refuse to be appointed. So, what if he could give him a marriage and grant Princess Changle to Zhou Shi?
If the princess marry Zhou Shixiang, Zhou Shixiang will be the son-in-law of the Zhu family. If the Zhu family's imperial court is in trouble, how can he not come to serve the king?
Guo Zhiqi was very excited and felt that this matter was more successful than being the king, and the emperor would probably agree. However, the princess had to ask the princess for his intentions. Just as he was about to test it, he heard a sensation from outside.
The princess was also surprised and ordered the palace maid to say, "Go and see what's wrong with it?"
The palace maid went to the office and came back soon and reported, "Princess, it's King of Jin who is back!"
