683 , Li Zicheng was born
Everyone went up the restaurant and walked towards the second floor. When they were walking up the stairs, the country girl suddenly stopped and stared at the handrails of the stairs carefully. It turned out that exquisite patterns were carved on the handrails of the stairs.
After a while, the country girl looked carefully and said with admiration: "The carvings of this staircase are so exquisite. Is this building a palace in the Da Mengguo?"
"Are you stupid? This is an ordinary restaurant." Yi Yun hummed, "Palace, your sister, the palace in our Da Meng Kingdom is carved ten thousand times more exquisite than this one."
"Scared!" The country girl was frightened: "Such a powerful carving is just an ordinary restaurant? Are you lying to me?"
"I'll lie to you!"
Everyone went to the second floor to sit down. The dishes were still stir-fried, so they didn't come so quickly. The owner of the restaurant had to send a few pots of tea and put on a circle of beautiful tea bowls. Nobunaga was very loving about the tea bowls. She treasured the famous utensils at home. When she saw a tea bowl on the table, she immediately picked up one and looked at it carefully.
I didn't know if I didn't look at it, and I was shocked when I saw it: "Oh, this... this table of tea bowls is all the treasure-level! Each one is no worse than my ninety-nine eggplant!"
Yi Yun picked up one casually and glanced at it. It turned out that the table of dishes was produced by Jingdezhen. It was probably the highest-end tea bowl in this small restaurant. It was reasonable for him to come here for dinner. The owner of the restaurant took out the best utensils to entertain. However, these tea bowls were not even seen by Yi Yun. They could only be considered as the average Jingdezhen goods, and they were not the best court tribute level.
This level is enough to shock Oda Nobunaga!
"Do you like these tea bowls?" Yi Yun asked.
"Yes. I like it so much!" Nobunaga smiled and said, "I tried my best to get a ninety-nine eggplant. I didn't expect that the table here is full of good tea bowls..."
"Then I'll buy you a better set!" Yi Yun took out a silver note from his arms, 10,000 taels, and handed it to Gu Magistrate Gu: "Let your subordinates take my money and go to the trading market at the dock to buy a few of the best Jingdezhen tea bowls... Well... there are also tea cups, tea seals, tea pots, tea pots, tea trays... all the sets are bought."
"This... how can you pay for it? I still have a small amount of 10,000 taels." The so-called Qing magistrate for three years, 100,000 snowflakes, was really a small amount for Gu Prefect Gu. He wanted to please Yi Yun, so he wanted to make money to buy tea sets by himself.
Yi Yun snorted: "I bought my woman a gift, but you actually came to rush to pay the money. What do you mean?"
"Wow, the official has no such intention!" Gu Taifu was frightened and quickly took Yi Yun's money and found a confidant: "Go and buy the best tea sets and come back for the princess."
At this time, the fried dishes were already delivered. It seemed that the owner of the restaurant had given instructions and knew that the person who came was a prince, so the kitchen was running at full speed so that the dishes could be served so quickly.
Yi Yun picked up a chopstick and threw it into his mouth: "Huh, the taste of the big country is so good! Although I also brought a chef in Fusang, the chef was often not around when fighting. I could only eat some dry food and broken food from Fusang, which was really a stomachache."
"Yes! Yes!" Gu Gong nodded and bowed.
When Yi Yun saw the magistrate named Gu Yuxian, who was down and angry, he knew that he was not a member of the Donglin Party, because the Donglin Party would not flatter him like this, so he wanted to chat with him for a few more words and said casually: "I have been leaving Dameng Country for a year. I don't know what the domestic situation is? Tell me."
"This...uh..." Gu Prefect Gu said with a embarrassed look on his face: "The domestic situation is not very good..."
"Oh? What a bad way?"
The prefect Gu sighed: "Ah! In recent years, the Qing Tartars in the northeast have been in a very tight offensive, and once the troops are outside the capital. The emperor was furious, and the officials in Beijing are also frightened to death. He originally wanted to transfer the Sichuan army into Beijing to serve the king, but the rebels in the southwest have not yet been suppressed and the Sichuan army cannot be transferred, so the Donglin Party mobilized troops from several northwest provinces to go to Beijing to serve the king to protect the capital. Unexpectedly, the northwest army had just been pulled away and chaos immediately broke out."
"The northwest is in chaos?" Yi Yun was shocked. Damn, the Qing Dynasty in the Northeast has caused trouble, and the southwest rebels have not yet suppressed it! Why is the northwest in chaos again? This is a rhythm that is about to cheat, and I have a bad premonition.
The prefect Gu sighed: "There is a woman named Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang, in the northwest, who suddenly rebelled and pulled up a big rebel, causing chaos in the entire northwest..."
"King of Chuang, Li Zicheng, woman?" Yi Yun Da Khan, Dama, it was indeed a trick. In real history, Li Zicheng was a big bandit who destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, it also appeared in this world. And is it really a woman? This guy should be very, very difficult to deal with... If you follow the real historical process, this guy will not force Zhu Qingqing to death and destroy Da Mengguo, then it will be a good thing.
Fuck, I finally managed to get the "Cute Mother's Ambition". Seeing that one-third of the problem was solved, the Meng Kingdom would end up in chaos and perishing, wouldn't it be a waste of fun?
He was unhappy and was in a state of great mood to eat. He jumped up and said, "How is the emperor going to deal with Li Zicheng?"
Gu Prefect blinked: "You know, the emperor... she doesn't care about anything... As a result, the high-ranking officials in the court were divided into two factions and were arguing over Li Zicheng's affairs. One faction was determined to wipe out Li Zicheng, and the other faction was determined to pacify Li Zicheng. In short, it was the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction... The two sides were quarreling. Until now, there was no plan. Li Zicheng took advantage of the time when they were quarreling and occupied the entire Shaanxi and Xi."
"Damn it!" Yi Yun jumped up: "A bunch of lunatics!"
"Well, the Xiaguan is also very worried... If the country continues to be so chaotic, the Xiaguan will not have any guarantee in the future... Prince, I heard that you are best at dealing with rebels, bandits, barbarians and other things. You have to take care of this matter!"
"Nonsense! Of course I will care!" Yi Yun jumped up and said, "I won't eat this food anymore, I will rush back to Shanghai Oasis immediately."
"Oh, Prince, the food has just been fried, why don't you eat it?" Gu Taigong was very angry.
Yi Yun thought for a while: "Oh, too... pack them all for me, I'll take them on the boat to eat."
Gu Prefect: "..."
Yi Yun hurriedly returned to the fleet and ordered the fleet to return to Shanghai Oasis quickly. He had to return to his territory first, learn about the situation from the left-behind Ruan Muxing and others, and then decide how to interfere with Li Zicheng. According to another historical process, it is useless to use the means of plagiarizing people like Li Zicheng. He would surrender and then rebel again. If he wanted to deal with her, he would beat her to death.
In other words, Yi Yun has made up his mind to stand on the side of the pro-war faction! He will never allow the pro-war faction to gain the upper hand. What he needs to figure out now is which officials are responsible for the pro-war and which officials are responsible for the pro-war, and then consider how he will operate this matter.
The fleet sailed north quickly, and the table of wine and food packed from the restaurant was re-set. The girls ate the meal happily around the table, and Nobunaga played with a complete set of high-end tea sets bought for 10,000 taels of silver, and danced happily.
Yi Yun was in a very bad mood.
The fleet returned to Shanghai as fast as possible. Since the contact ship had been sent back in advance, a large group of people were waiting for Yi Yun's return at Wusong Wharf in Shanghai. An Jing, An Qian, Shui Miao, Yan Wanwan, Ruan Muxing, Cai Rou and other girls were all there, as well as the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Taishi Xiaohua and the leader of the Cao Sect, Zhou Lanye, also came... Of course, there were also men, Zhou Zifan, a member of the Donglin Party, who was influenced by Yi Yun, who was also waiting on the shore... Of course, there were also people who were neither men nor women, the leader of the Dongchang spy, and the thirty-two eunuchs, were also present.
Seeing these familiar faces, Yi Yun's unhappiness was slightly suppressed. Before the ship could firmly lean on the shore, he flew out of the boat.
Zhou Zifan was the first to rush out and shouted: "Prince, something big is not good... Northwest..."
"I already know the matter of the northwest. Let's talk about it later... I will talk about the big things after I gather with my family first!" Yi Yun threw a sentence and rushed towards the girls An Jing and An Qian, hugged them in his arms, kissed and touched them, and told them about their parting.
"Wow, prince, state affairs are the most important!" Zhou Zifan was a great knight.
"Family affairs, state affairs, and the world are important." Yi Yun hummed, "But family affairs are at the forefront."
Zhou Zidan: “…”
Just as Yi Yun and the girls were talking to each other, the Fusang girls on the boat also walked down. When they looked at Wusong Wharf, they were shocked again. They saw that this wharf was better than the prosperous Ningbo. Whether it was the size of the wharf, the number of ships, or the variety of cargo, Wusong Wharf surpassed Ningbo Wharf.
And most importantly, although Wusong Wharf is larger in scale and more people, it is managed more standardized and organized! The entire Wharf presents a vibrant feeling, which is very different from the prosperity of Ningbo with chaos and decay.
The girls of Fusang were very open. As Yi Yun said to them, they couldn't find a place to put their eyes.
Yi Yun wanted to be more intimate with the girls who were left behind. He had no time to care about these girls from Fusang. He greeted Zheng Zhifeng: "Please help me take the Emperor girl and Nobunaga and the others back to the main urban area, and visit the core area of Shanghai Oasis, so that they can know what the real prosperity is, and then take them back to the Prince of Shanghai and arrange their rooms. I will deal with some things and go back to accompany them."
Zheng Zhifeng nodded and took the Fusang girls away.
Yi Yun hugged An Jing with his left hand and An Qian with his right hand: "Big wife, second wife, do you miss me? Let's go, let's find a small dark room to be intimate and then talk about something else."
