Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 420 The Beauty at the Funeral
"I have seen the king!"

Gao Xiang carelessly saluted Meng Xuanzhe and said hello.

Dali is located in the land of the southern barbarians, and the folk customs are sturdy.

Thirty years ago, Duan Siping, the founding emperor of Dali, borrowed troops from the Heicuan 30 barbarian tribe in the east. He met in Shicheng and attacked Nanzhao with Dong Jialuo as his army division. After seven years of fighting, he defeated Yang Qianzhen and established Dali, and then wiped out the disobedient barbarians around him. , and it has only been a matter of ten years since it was passed down to the present.

The country's elite are still there, and it is the time for a good fighter to fight.

Compared with the Mengshu soldiers who have been decadent for decades, the gap is still huge.

Gao Xiang is a lecherous dandy, but his knowledge is not vulgar, and the Mengshu soldiers are not enough for their Dali elites.

For some reason, Gao Xiang didn't have much respect for the original Meng Chang, let alone Meng Xuanzhe?

"At the order of my father, I'm here to express my condolences to the former lord..."

When he said this, he put away his frivolity, after all, the dead are the greatest.

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Gao Xiang asked about the time of the funeral, and then left.

Meng Xuanzhe looked a little strange, but he had no time to think about it.

According to Wang Zhaoyuan's strategy, he dispatched his cronies to personally pick up Xue Juzheng from Kuizhou to enter Shu, and entertained them with luxury cars and horses along the way.

Entering Shu from the direction of Jingzhou and Baidi, although it is far less steep than the Shu road from the direction of Jianmen, it is also densely covered with mountains and swamps, making it difficult to walk.

Under the warm reception from Shu Fang, Xue Juzheng didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue.

The carriage entered the capital of Shu, Xue Ju was looking out through the window.

During this journey, Xue Juzheng hung up the curtains of the car so that he could observe the scene along the way.

Luo Youdu didn't make any special arrangements, but with a talent like Xue Juzheng, he naturally understood what he needed to do.

Once upon a time, remote Sichuan, Shu and Jiangnan were hailed as the last paradise, but what he saw and heard along the way made Xue Juzheng understand that the unification of the world is imperative.

The scene along the way, the common people look disheveled, when they are resting in cities and counties.

Xue Juzheng also went to the market to buy some local specialties.It was found that some of the local people were bartering.The coins of the Central Plains New Dynasty are more popular than the coins of Shu.

It can be seen that the economic and political corruption of Shu has caused the people to lose confidence in the financial system of Shu.

As far as a country is concerned, the corruption of the monetary system is extremely fatal.

But as he approached Chengdu, Xue Juzheng found that the sights he saw along the way were just as fake.

The closer you are to Chengdu, the more prosperous you can feel it.

Surprisingly, there is not a single field around Chengdu, and there are flower gardens all the way, and the gentry and common people are all dressed in the same clothes, which is completely different from other places.

"This is a paradise built on the fat of the people!"

Xue Juzheng sighed in his heart.

In fact, what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

In the long period of peace in the middle of Shu, Meng Chang was extravagant, and he acted like a prince.The noble relatives of the clan and the children of high-ranking officials have feasts so popular that some people grow up to 30 years old and don't even know the seedlings of rice and wheat.

Every spring, along the Huanhuaxi River in Chengdu, singing and music blare the sky, pearls and emeralds fill the throat, and the son of the noble family swims on the Baihua Lake together with Huaxuan Caiboat.Pavilions and pavilions, different fruits and famous flowers, overflowing them.

Officials bent the law for personal gain, took bribes and accepted bribes. Even in the imperial examinations, bribes were not exempted.

Some judicial officials even pointed to the prison door and said, "This is my family's money stove."

Chuan Shu has long been rotten to the bone...

Xue Juzheng received warm hospitality from Meng Xuanzhe, and made an exception for Wang Zhaoyuan to host a banquet.

The lord of the country died of illness, and gatherings and banquets are not allowed within a certain period of time in the country.

On behalf of Luo Youdu, Xue Juzheng expressed his grief for Meng Chang, and by the way, announced Luo Youdu's canonization intention, acknowledging the legitimacy of Meng Xuanzhe, the lord of Western Shu.

Meng Xuanzhe was extremely aggrieved, but he also had to thank the leader.

Xue Juzheng did not leave in a hurry, but stayed to attend Meng Chang's funeral to commemorate Meng Chang's life.

Meng Chang was desperate for extravagance, and supported a city with a country.All directions are poor, but Chengdu is rich and prosperous.

On the day of his funeral, more than ten thousand people gathered outside the Shu Palace to mourn.

At the funeral of the Lord of Shu, naturally there was no link of mourning one by one and the family members answering the ceremony.

Instead, Meng Xuanzhe led the concubines, concubines, envoys, and civil and military officials to sacrifice together.

Xue Juzheng has a special status, second only to Meng Xuanzhe who leads the concubine and concubine Bin.

As the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he is impeccable about etiquette and bows sternly.

However, when he was bowing, he heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and heard the words of whispering in his ears, but he spoke very softly, and he couldn't understand a single word.

Xue Juzheng was slightly displeased, the deceased is the most important, and this is really disrespectful to the deceased.

He couldn't help but glanced to the side, half a step away from him, there was a person staring at the front in a daze, but it was Gao Xiang, the envoy of Dali Kingdom.

They lived together in the expensive hotel and met each other when they went in and out, so they knew each other.

Following his gaze, she was also slightly absent-minded, and hastily lowered her eyes, not daring to look any further.

The other party turned out to be a stunningly beautiful woman of national beauty and heavenly fragrance. This person was located at the side and rear, with only a half-faced face, it was already captivating.

Gao Xiang is lustful, and he went to Shu to play in his early years, was received by Meng Chang, met the magnificent Mrs. Huarui, and was immediately fascinated by three souls and lost six souls.

There are many beauties in this hundred barbarians, Gao Xiang has seen many beauties with fair skin and beautiful skin, but compared with Mrs. Huarui, all those so-called beauties have become field mice, which is more than one level behind.

After leaving the Shu Palace, Gao Xiang was haunted by dreams, and he didn't think about food or tea.

Thinking of such a celestial figure, but a big fat pig that is disgusting at first sight, he felt so unfair that he was so upset that he killed someone because of a trivial matter.

It is true that Gao Xiang is trying to compete with others to be jealous, but it is not the number one brothel, but Meng Chang, the lord of Shu.

When Gao Xiang heard about Meng Chang's death in Dali, he was instantly moved and asked for his order to come to express his condolences.

Where did he come here for Meng Chang, he just took a fancy to Mrs. Huarui.

Thinking about whether I can embrace the beauty...

Although he knew it was difficult, Mrs. Huarui was after all the imperial concubine conferred by Meng Chang, second only to the queen.

But even if it doesn't work, it's good to see you again.

Now in this mourning hall, looking at Mrs. Huarui dressed in plain clothes, Gao Xiang's soul was completely lost...

The biggest feature of Mrs. Huarui is her whiteness, icy muscles and fine bones, this word is used to describe her beauty.

Mrs. Huarui under the onyx has an indescribable beauty.

Gao Xiang only saw this side, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"If I can hug a beauty back, I'm willing to reduce my life by ten years!"

Gao Xiang couldn't help feeling secretly.

Xue Juzheng did not stay long in Shu, and bid farewell to Meng Xuanzhe after Meng Chang's funeral.

Meng Xuanzhe had already dealt with Meng Chang's funeral and personally saw Xue Juzheng off.

There was a show of sending ten miles, another ten miles, and ten miles.

Forty miles away from Chengdu Mansion, Meng Xuanzhe sent Xue Juzheng away from Chengdu Mansion before he really stopped.

Seeing the shadow of Xue Juzheng going away, Meng Xuanzhe and Wang Zhaoyuan looked at each other and smiled, feeling like their plan had succeeded.
