Chapter 239
Shortly after taking Chengdu, Liu Po's East Route Army finally captured most of the land in eastern Sichuan.

The states and counties south of Chengdu also surrendered one after another.

At this time, Zhu Youning, who had collected all the territory of Shu, really started to plunder.

The objects of plundering wealth are first of all the many vassal kings of the original Shu Kingdom.

Wang Jian, the former king of Shu, had dozens of adopted sons.

This led to the inexplicable addition of dozens of vassal kings and Jiedu envoys in Shu after his son Wang Yan became emperor.

These vassal kings monopolize the large and small official positions of the court, and use their power to amass wealth, and each of them is extremely rich.

Of course, not only the vassal kings, but also the court ministers of the Shu Kingdom are all rich.

In just one day, Zhu Youning recovered more than 2000 million guan from the mansions of the nobles of the Shu Kingdom, such as Song Guangsi and Jing Runcheng, the former Privy Councilors of the Shu Kingdom, and Li Zhoulu and Ouyang Huang, the Xuanhui envoys. money!

You must know that these wealth do not belong to the treasury of Shu State, but the private property of these nobles.

If the money from the government treasuries of various states and counties is taken over, plus the property in the Chengdu Palace, Zhu Youning thinks that this trip will get almost 6000 million yuan!

After having the money, Zhu Youning set aside 800 million coins on the spot to reward the soldiers.

However, Zhu Youning's behavior during this time looked like a robber, but he was only targeting those nobles.

As for the people of the Shu Kingdom, Zhu Youning had already ordered the prohibition of invasion and plundering, and the city would not change their ways.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaokui suddenly walked into Zhu Youning's temporary bedroom, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Chengxiu is bringing a woman to see you."

"Wang Chengxiu?" Zhu Youning frowned, "What is he doing here?"

Zhong Xiaokui bowed and said: "I feel that he may have come to plead with His Majesty, after all, there are quite a lot of treasures in his mansion."

Zhu Youning bowed his head in thought.

This Wang Chengxiu was originally the most powerful minister of the Shu Kingdom, and there must be countless treasures in the mansion.

And because he voluntarily offered the city to surrender and captured Wang Yan, Zhu Youning let him go when liquidating those nobles.

But after all, he is a general and has a lot of money. After knowing that Zhu Youning intends to plunder money, he may not feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youning said, "Xiaokui, let them in first."

"Yes."

After a while, Zhong Xiaokui came in with a woman.

This woman is really good-looking, with thin skin and tender flesh, and a luxurious dress is also very beautiful.

She had a charming face, and when she saw Zhu Youning, she bowed her knees and said, "My concubine pays my respects to Your Majesty."

"Excuse me." Zhu Youning asked, "Who are you?"

The woman smiled and said: "My concubine is from the Yan family, and she is the wife of Wang Chengxiu, the envoy of Xuanhui North Court of the former Shu Kingdom."

Only then did Zhu Youning know who this person was.

He generally knew something about Wang Chengxiu offering his wife to Wang Yan for honor.

This Yan family is the wife Wang Chengxiu donated.

But what is the so-called Yan's coming this time?
"By the way, didn't you say that Wang Chengxiu is also here? Where are the others?"

Yan smiled charmingly, and said, "Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for him to come in."

Looking at Yan's eyes, Zhu Youning immediately understood what she meant.

But he didn't accept it, instead he said coldly: "You go back."

Wang Chengxiu obviously meant to repeat the old tricks, and wanted to sacrifice his wife again for glory.

But Zhu Youning is not a person who does not refuse anyone.

Even if Yan Shi is indeed beautiful, he is not interested.

More importantly, he actually wanted to attack Wang Chengxiu.

But Zhu Youning thought about it, and finally gave up.

This man surrendered very quickly, and helped him capture Wang Yan, and also guarded the treasure of the palace, which is indeed a merit.

If he snatched his property immediately, it would be that the reward and punishment were unclear.

So Zhu Youning finally let him go.

Soon, the accompanying ministers presented a memorial to Zhu Youning.

It is a detailed report on how to deal with the people and garrisons of the Shu Kingdom.

This person is Lu Wenji, who was born in the Lu family of Fanyang. During Zhu Wen's reign, he served as the minister of the Ministry of punishment and a bachelor of Jixian hall.

Zhu Youning carefully read the memorial he presented, and it was clear and reasonable, so he accepted it.

Afterwards, Zhu Youning ordered again: "Lu Wenji, don't go back to Bianzhou for the time being. The taxes and laws of all states and counties in Shu remain as usual, and you will take care of the rest."

After giving instructions to Lu Wenji, Zhu Youning called Wang Yanzhang again, and said, "Wang Yanzhang, you lead the Longxiang Army to station here temporarily, and the rest of the guards will leave for Beijing soon. In addition, you will temporarily reorganize the surrendered soldiers of the Shu Army and merge them into the guards." manage."

"As ordered!"

After almost all the affairs of the Shu Kingdom were arranged, almost [-] troops of the Shenwu Army and the Dragon and Tiger Army were preparing to return to Bianzhou one after another.

However, the 1 Tiger Army, the [-] Dragon Army, and the [-] Dragon Army stayed in Chengdu for the time being.

And Li Maozhen also planned to leave Chengdu and return to the Central Plains.

In the study, Li Maozhen looked at Zhu Youning with a puzzled expression.

"The Kingdom of Shu has been conquered, why don't you return to Bianzhou as a teacher?"

Zhu Youning was indeed concerned about the people in Bianzhou City, but he shook his head and said, "I'm going to Raojiang, Li Maozhen, you can stay and help me."

Li Maozhen shook her head.

"Although I don't know why you want to go to Raojiang, I promised the people there that I would not bring other people in to disturb their lives."

Hearing this, Zhu Youning felt a little regretful.

The reason why he planned to go to Raojiang was to deal with the Gods and Monsters Altar and completely eradicate this hidden danger.

Li Maozhen has learned the art of insect poisoning in Twelve Caves for more than ten years, and she even has the secret treasure of Twelve Caves, Meteor Birth Gu.

If Li Maozhen was willing to help him, the difficulty of this trip to Raojiang would be much less.

But since Li Maozhen didn't have this intention, Zhu Youning couldn't force it.

At this time, Li Maozhen spoke.

"With your martial arts, you won't have many opponents in Raojiang. After all, you can already kill Yuan Tiangang. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the master of the twelve caves. The rest are nothing to you. Nothing to be afraid of."

"I hope so."

Li Maozhen looked at Zhu Youning, and said, "Actually, I plan to go back to the country of Qi this time. After all, as the king of Qi, I haven't seen my home country for 16 years."

Li Maozhen sighed, and suddenly saw Zhu Youning's strange eyes.

He thought for a while, and then he came back to his senses, and said: "I was wrong, it is the land of Fengxiang, and the country of Qi no longer exists."

As she spoke, Li Maozhen's tone suddenly became serious.

"However, if I see Fengxiang's people displaced and their lives devastated, then the country of Qi may really come back to life!"

"It's impossible." Zhu Youning shook his head, and said, "The imperial court's policy support for Fengxiang Land has been very generous. You will know it when you arrive in Qi Country."

"seeing is believing."

Li Maozhen said something thoughtful, then took out a booklet from her arms and handed it to Zhu Youning.

"This is a record of some simple poisonous insect techniques in Raojiang. I hope it can help you."

Zhu Youning took the booklet.

"Farewell."

Li Maozhen hugged her fist, and then left without looking back.
