Chapter 421 The Current Situation, the Chaotic World of Ming Dynasty
The capital of the Ming Dynasty, Wangfu.
This is the second day of the emperor's banquet. He entered the palace yesterday and was first conferred the title of Wu'an County Duke, and then the emperor gave another banquet. When the banquet ended, it was getting late, so he rested in the palace for a night.
It must be said that the dragon bed in the palace is really big, and three people can sleep together without being crowded. If he hadn't been worried about being discovered by the maids, eunuchs and doctors, he might not have bothered to come back today.
The child born by Murong Shu is the first close relative of the royal family born after Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne. The emperor personally asked about it, and the Imperial Hospital naturally did not dare to neglect it. Every day, the imperial doctors came to check the child's condition.
When Xu Xin returned to Wang's house, the miserable Hanlin Shijiangshi Wang was still working in the Forbidden City. After saying hello to Mr. Wang, Xu Xin returned to the backyard, and his group of beautiful wives and concubines came to greet him one after another.
He did not take any of them with him when he went to war last year. It was not that they could not endure the hardship, but it was not easy to bring women in the army.
"Husband!"
The first to greet him was his wife, Miss Zhu Cui'er. Although among all the wives and concubines of Mr. Xu, this wife's appearance was a little unremarkable, but he married a virtuous wife. Miss Zhu Cui managed his backyard in an orderly manner, which was a great achievement.
"Husband, have some tea!"
A comfortable voice sounded beside him, and Jiang Yuyan pulled Jiang Yufeng, who was still a little shy, to serve tea. Well, Miss Yufeng changed into a kimono, which had a different charm. Otherwise, tonight...
Xu Xin had just slept with a pair of sisters last night, and was tempted again today. He felt that his bottom line was moving away. The Great Marshal of the Ming Dynasty who had righteously rejected the threesome of Madam Manduhai and her daughter was dying!
Xu Xin was torn between heaven and man, and the tea he drank was a little tasteless. Among the women he had flirted with, there were three pairs of sisters, and only Jin Xiangyu and Zhu Cui were single. Could it be that he had some kind of interest in sisters in this life...
Xu fell into deep thought. Could it be that he had this special... interest, but he just hadn't discovered it before? But to be honest, sisters are indeed better than single girls.
His cultivation made subtle progress almost every moment, and his physical fitness was getting better and better, so he was naturally stronger in that aspect.
After Xu Xin returned to Beijing, the emperor granted him special leave, so he didn't have to report for duty during this period. He was either at home or playing outside every day, accompanied by his beautiful wife and concubines. His life was too comfortable.
During this period, Xu Xin also learned from many concubines about the changes in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world in recent years. It was almost as he expected. The Ming Dynasty's martial arts world became more and more chaotic.
Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen, the leader of Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation, has been in power for more than 20 years and established his absolute prestige. As long as he is still alive, the world will not be in chaos. The eight major sects and other underworld forces can only pretend to be grandsons and hire some crooked people as their leaders.
With his death, the Ming Dynasty began to become unstable. There were Turpan in the Western Regions and Mongolian tribes raiding the border, and the "Japanese pirates" on the southeast coast also showed signs of resurgence. Inside the Ming Dynasty, the eight major sects completed the replacement of their leaders, and the evil sects and other unorthodox ways gradually emerged.
In the year that Xu Xin went out, there were some new faces in the martial arts world, and the position of "the leader of the martial arts world" of his old father-in-law "Crazy Lion" Tie Ruyun was becoming more and more unstable. There were many "guests" in the Tie Mansion in the past two years, and the "latecomers" in the underworld seemed to have increased all of a sudden.
"Shaolin Sanle, Jian Jingfeng, Guihai Bailian, Qilinzi, Xiangxi Four Ghosts... all are familiar faces... they have been hiding before..."
Xu Xin flipped through some of the information presented by Hongyezhai. They were all some of the more outstanding "rising stars" in the martial arts world. Among them, Shaolin's "Sanle" was the most profound. The oldest master Lejie could barely be considered a master of Cao Gonggong's generation and had also entered the realm of innateness.
"Brother Wang, my father wants to ask about the things in the East China Sea. He means that although there are many lawless scums in the martial arts world, many people are still not bad-hearted. Can the court give them a break..."
Miss Tie Xinlan, who was dressed in a purple skirt, was very smooth, bright and beautiful, and her flesh felt very good. Don't ask Xu why he knew it, the details cannot be described.
She came to inquire on behalf of her father-in-law "Mad Lion" Tie Ruyun. The father-in-law had cooperated with Xu Xin in some things in the East China Sea. He was worried that Xu Xin would go too far and directly ruin the Central Plains martial arts world.
This kind of thing is not without precedent. Emperor Chenghua did it in the past... He was very ruthless and scared the eight major sects like cats. It was so scary!
"Xinlan, don't worry, I know this matter well."
Xu Xin held Miss Xinlan's little hand and kneaded it. Each of these beauties around him was very unique. Miss Xinlan was both smooth and plump, which made people love her.
"Brother Wang..."
Although Miss Xinlan had been a concubine of someone for a long time, she was still as reluctant as before. She would blush if she was touched casually. Of course, maybe this was also a strategy for her to win favor.
Xu Xin listened to the daughter of the martial arts leader reporting the current situation in the martial arts world, and he was already thinking about how to detonate the South China Sea incident and attract more martial artists.
After a year of fermentation, the news of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family's relics had spread all over the world. People from the Ming Dynasty, the Western Regions, the South Sea, and Japan were all exploring the East China Sea, and some people had already given up. If he was going to make trouble again, he would have to stir up the heat again.
This matter cannot be rushed and must be done well, otherwise the "conspiracy" will be discovered by others in the future, which would be troublesome.
Although Shen Hou got the benefits in the "Taihu" campaign, there were too many loopholes. Gu Santong was too lazy to publicize and defend it, otherwise the truth that was unfavorable to him would have been spread long ago.
Xu Xin wanted to do things beautifully. Not to mention catching all the martial arts masters in one fell swoop, at least he had to help his "demon species" complete the transformation and let him get an "evolution".
However, for now, things need to ferment, and he still has many things to arrange in the capital, so the trip to the East China Sea still has to be delayed.
After Xu Xin understood the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, he began to re-arrange and stir up trouble. In addition, he continued to stay in the capital and began to take action on the real problems of the Ming Dynasty, such as military affairs and economy.
As for the "civil affairs", it will be postponed for the time being. The biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty now is the civil officials, but at the same time, the civil officials also hold the largest power.
Xu Xin is ready to boil the frog in warm water and do things slowly.
It was like this, after a long period of time, that he finally had time to ask for the imperial edict and return south with his beautiful wives and concubines. On the surface, he was going back to his hometown to visit his relatives, but in fact he was going to the East China Sea to cause trouble.
