Because Yunnan's finances are very tight, coupled with the continuous war requires a large amount of military expenses, so Li Dingguo's palace built for Yongli in Wuhua Mountain has not been completed, so the Yongli Emperor still lives in Mu Tianbo's Qianguo Mansion. Every fifth and tenth dynasty, Yongli will go to the Yunnan Gongyuan, which is a large place, to hold a court meeting, and the rest of the time is to govern in the Guogong Mansion. The scale of the Guogong Mansion is second only to the Gongyuan in Kunming, but it is still reluctant to be the emperor and queen.

Although Zhu Shuyi, the lord of Changle, is young, she is Yongli's aunt in terms of seniority, and her uncle is Emperor Longwu recognized by the Yongli court, and her father is the puppet Emperor Shaowu who was martyred, so Yongli specially ordered the inner court to arrange the county lord of Changle according to the princess's treatment. But the treatment of this princess is only slightly better than the daughter of an ordinary rich family in Kunming, and if she really wants to arrange the treatment of the princess in the canonical system, Yongli will not be able to take out this money.

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, is good at governing the army but is not good at managing the people, and now the foundation in Yunnan is still set by Sun Kewang at the time, and Sun Kewang is still struggling to resist the Qing army with the strength of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and all expenses are also compact, and now the Yongli court only relies on Yunnan Province to supply, and it must be very difficult financially.

Yongli didn't want the palace in Wuhua Mountain to be built quickly, but he didn't have any money, and the inner treasury only had about 10,000 taels of silver available, and he couldn't even listen to the sound of water when he threw this money. Even now, the yamen of the inner court is also in name only, only the imperial horse supervisor and the ceremonial supervisor play the role of the inner court, and the rest of the yamen are mostly abolished, and the difficult Yongli at hand really can't afford to raise so many eunuchs. The various supplies of the Yongli Emperor are also provincial, the emperor and the empress are like this, and it is naturally impossible for the county lord of Changle to have any special care, and it is Yongli's greatest favor for this little aunt to be able to make a will according to the princess's arrangement.

The main residence of Changle County is the house where the mother of Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, lived, and the Chen family was in rebellion in Shadingzhou, and the Chen family, together with his daughter-in-law Jiao and his two other sons, Mu Tianze and Mu Tianrun, were killed by the rebels, and there are few descendants left of the Mu family.

Guo Zhiqi is a cabinet bachelor, but he is a foreign minister, and Zhu Shuyi is the county lord and has not left the cabinet, so it is inconvenient for him to see the county lord according to the courtesy. But at this time, how can there be so many rules in the Guogong Mansion that is used as a temporary practice.

Under the leadership of the palace maid, Guo Zhiqi soon met the county lord of Changle. When he went to Guangdong a few years ago, the county lord was still a little thin, but now that he looks at it, he has grown a lot, and I think it is because of the better diet in the past few months.

"County Lord!"

Guo Zhiqi stepped forward and was about to salute, but the county lord stopped him first. Guo Zhiqi was not polite, he did not insist on saluting, but asked some about the county lord's recent diet and daily life, and the love of the elders for the younger generations was overflowing. The county lord was moved in his heart, and asked the palace maid to bring a stool and invite Guo Zhiqi to sit, and then said with concern: "Has the bachelor been in danger along the way?" ”

Guo Zhiqi said: "Lord Lao is worried, this time there was no danger on the road, but when I went to Guangxi, it was rainy, and it was inconvenient to hurry, so I delayed the schedule, otherwise, I would be able to come back a month ago." ”

"The bachelor is an important minister of the country, but he has repeatedly gone into danger alone, running for me to make contact, Shuyi admires it in her heart."

"This is my duty as a courtier, the current state affairs are difficult, I wait for the courtiers to do their best, do we have to wait for the death of the country to contribute?"

When Guo Zhiqi said this, he was a little sad, looking at the people in the court who were still insisting on running, except for him, Wen Anzhi who went to Sichuan, everyone else was getting by, dazed, and passive, and there was even Ma Jixiang's generation who played power and profit, and made the inside and outside of the court a smoke, and I really didn't know that the big disaster was coming.

There are some words, Guo Zhiqi is not good to say in front of the county lord, seeing that his words made the county lord a little sad, thinking of her hard life, he hurriedly said to her with a little joy: "I have inquired carefully when I was in Guangdong, and I have visited the county lord for who is the show." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Shuyi immediately became nervous when she heard this.

Guo Zhiqi smiled, didn't sell Guanzi, and said to the county lord: "That Xiucai is Xingpingbo."

"Xingpingbo?" Zhu Shuyi was stunned and lost her voice: "But what about Zhou Shixiang in Guangdong Town? ”

"That's him."

Guo Zhiqi nodded and said, "Zhou Shixiang is a member of the Xinhui, his parents, wife and children were killed by the Qing army, he avenged his parents, wife and children and slashed the Qing generals from Yunlong to Daqiao Mountain, and then went down the mountain with Hu Quan to attack Luodingzhou City, and the deeds here are in line with what the county lord said." He told Zhou Shixiang's appearance to the county lord, and the county lord combined his impression after hearing it, which was naturally right, and he couldn't help but be happy, but because of his daughter's family, he didn't dare to show his joy on his face.

Guo Zhiqi told the county lord about Zhou Shixiang's recovery of Guangzhou, and the county lord was naturally shocked after hearing it, and he didn't want that Xiucai to be so capable back then. After talking about the recovery of Guangzhou, Guo Zhiqi also told the county lord about the matter of asking the king to be crowned.

"The emperor refuses to accept my opinion, if the Guangdong soldiers do not come to King Qin, only the King of Jin is afraid that Yunnan will not be protected, and the court will have to move again."

Guo Zhiqi frowned after finishing speaking, the Qing army really entered Yunnan, but he didn't know where the imperial court could move. The county lord was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, Fang gritted his teeth and said: "I'll go and tell the emperor to let him give Zhou Shixiang the title of king, and let the Guangdong soldiers come to King Qin immediately." ”

Guo Zhiqi smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor will bewitch Ma Jixiang and Wang Kun, and the county lord will say that I am afraid that the emperor will be even more angry with Zhou Shixiang." ”

The county lord was speechless and sighed: "I only hate that I am a daughter, and I can't lead troops to kill the enemy." ”

Daughter?

Guo Zhiqi suddenly flashed a thought, since ancient times, there have only been two ways to cage his subordinates, one is to add officials to the knighthood, and the other is to marry. The emperor refused to crown Zhou Shixiang as the prince, and dragged the county king to refuse to be crowned, so why not give marriage and allow the county lord of Changle to be with Zhou Shixiang?

If the county lord marries Zhou Shixiang, Zhou Shixiang is the son-in-law of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family's court is in trouble, can he not come to King Qin?

Guo Zhiqi's heart was hot, but he felt that this matter was more successful than the king, and the emperor would probably agree. However, this matter needs to be asked by the county lord's heart, and he was about to open his mouth to test it, but he heard a movement outside.

The county lord was also surprised, and instructed the palace maid: "Go and see what's going on in front?" ”

The palace maid went as ordered, and after a while, she came back and said, "County Lord, it's King Jin who is back!" ”

Ahem, I didn't break out, I went to the kindergarten in the afternoon to watch the children perform. Well, although I'm looking at the mothers of other children. (To be continued.) )
