Chapter 1142 Summoning Zhang Xianzhong

Ganzhou went to the capital and the Western Prince's Mansion.

After Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and captured, he stayed in the labor camp for a while. He felt that Ganchao was developing water conservancy, preventing epidemics, and improving people's livelihood. He felt that he had been in the world for decades and had no achievements in Yu's world, so he finally chose to surrender Ganchao.

Of course, only Zhang Xianzhong himself knows whether this is Zhang Xianzhong’s true thought.

After surrendering, Zhang Xianzhong came to Li Dingguo and asked the Western Kingdom to take the imperial title and be a vassal of the Gan Dynasty.

After the defeat of the Western Army, the remnants retreated to Yunnan and became a separatist regime.

Because Yunnan has a complex terrain, numerous chieftains, and roads are blocked, the Gan army did not continue to pursue it, but instead digested the occupied Sichuan, Guangxi and Guizhou, so that the Western regime could continue to remain in a corner.

After receiving Zhang Xianzhong's letter, Li Dingguo, considering the huge gap in strength between the two sides, started negotiations with the Gan Chao for several years and barely reached two consensuses.

First, the Western Kingdom took the imperial title and regarded Dagan as the official title, and used the Dagan year name.

Second, according to the Luzon Zheng family, the Western Kingdom was a vassal state of Gan Dynasty, and recognized Da Gan as the sect leader, and paid tribute every year.

However, there has been no negotiation between the Western Kingdom and the Gan Dynasty regarding the ownership of Yunnan.

The Western Kingdom hopes to retain Yunnan, while the Ganchao hopes to take it back.

At this time, in the Western Prince's Mansion, Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian were playing chess. Xu Yixian sank the car at the bottom and smiled and said, "Master, you're drawing the general again!"

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong threw the chess piece he had eaten on the chessboard, "It's boring! He just eats and plays chess all day long, and his bones are almost moldy."

Xu Yixian understood Zhang Xianzhong's mood and comforted him: "King, this is impossible. After all, we are prisoners and we still need to avoid suspicion."

Zhang Xianzhong breathed out. He had been under house arrest for several years. He could tolerate it at first, but now he felt more and more unbearable.

After all, people who have been emperors and are used to being wild have been locked in cages like canaries for a long time and have indeed lived like years.

Xu Yixing smiled and said, "Why don't you let the servants give the king in the yard and open a few more vegetable gardens?"

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand, "Forget it, I have been touching the vegetable garden for several years, and I am not inferior to anyone, but Gan Chao has no reaction at all. It seems that the emperor cannot let me go back to the vassal state!"

Earlier, Zhang Xianzhong also wanted to learn from Liu Bei and farm, hoping that Gao Huan could let him go back, but Gao Huan was fighting abroad all year round and did not pay attention to him anymore, nor did he talk about heroes with him, so Zhang Xianzhong gradually gave up his mind to return to the vassal state.

As the two were talking, a man in military uniform walked into the yard, took off his military cap, and saluted: "Father, Prime Minister!"

Zhang Xianzhong turned his head and said in surprise: "Wenxiu! You have been released."

Liu Wenxiu nodded, "Father, I have been studying at the Imperial Land University for three years and have been intern in the army for a few months. I originally thought I would have to be intern for one year, but the above said that there seems to be some task that I will leave the army early and go to the Western Prince's Mansion to stand by!"

Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian raised their eyebrows when they heard the sound of the word, and they said in unison: "What mission?"

Liu Wenxiu shook his head, "I don't know this. The army takes obedience as its mission. I obey the orders. If the other Shangguan doesn't say it, I won't ask!"

Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian couldn't help feeling itchy when they heard the words. The news that Liu Wenxiu came to the Xiwang Mansion and other things must be related to them.

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Is it because the Gan Dynasty is going to attack the Western Kingdom?"

Gao Huan destroyed the Qing Dynasty and recovered Liaodong and Nurkandus. He probably wouldn't tolerate the Western Kingdom occupying Yunnan.

The Western Kingdom and the Gan Dynasty never reached a consensus on the ownership of Yunnan, which made Zhang Xianzhong worried that Gao Huan lost his patience and prepared to attack the Western Kingdom.

The three of them were in the palace, guessing the meaning of Ganchao and asking about the news about the Western Kingdom, but familiar people said they were unaware of it. The court had not mobilized troops to the southwest recently.

Zhang Xianzhong was worried for more than a month and didn't ask about it, so the three of them had to continue playing chess and fishing.

The three of them were fishing by the pond this day. In a few years, Zhang Xianzhong fished and released the fish, and then fished again and again. The fish were very energetic. Liu Wenxiu sat for a long time, but he couldn't pull up one. However, Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian had already practiced to the level of Master Deng.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled slightly, "Wenxiu, be calm!"

While speaking, Zhang Xianzhong caught another one, and at this moment, a servant led an official from the Lifanyuan.

"King, the money from the Lifan Courtyard has something to do to ask for your opinion!" The housekeeper saluted and reported.

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned when he heard the word, quickly put down the fishing rod, stood up, and smiled and said, "What's the matter with Master Qian? Why do you come in person?"

Qian said, "According to Your Majesty's order, I will give Your Highness two sets of clothes, and inform Your Highness that you will come to the palace tomorrow to meet Your Highness and discuss with Your Highness with something!"

Zhang Xianzhong quickly thanked him and asked, "Master Qian, I don't know what's wrong with Your Majesty looking for me!"

Chief Qian shook his head, "I don't know this either. The Lifanyuan just conveyed the order, but the prince of Luzon will also come to the palace to meet him."

After saying that, Master Qian bowed again, "I have to go to the inn and inform the prince of Luzon, and I will stay there soon!"

Xu Yixian hurriedly said, "I will send money to the king!"

At that moment, Xu Yixian sent money to the head of the matter, but Zhang Xianzhong fell into a deep voice. It was the first time that Gao Huan summoned him to him after so long he had arrived in the capital.

Soon after Xu Yixian came back, Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, have you found out what you have learned?"

Xu Yixian said: "Don't worry, lord, it should be a good thing!"

Since the Luzon Crown Prince Zheng Sen was summoned at the same time, it was unlikely that Zhang Xianzhong was chopped down in front of Zheng Sen.

The next day, Zhang Xianzhong put on his court clothes early in the morning, had breakfast, and then came to the palace to wait.

At this time, he sat for a while and saw someone coming in. Zhang Xianzhong looked at him and saw that he was in his thirties, strong and had a face as dark as charcoal.

I heard that Luzon is located in the south of Taiwan, hotter than Guangdong and Guangxi, and the sun is very vicious. Zhang Xianzhong immediately knew that the person who came in was Zheng Sen, the prince of Luzon.

Zhang Xianzhong stood up and smiled and said, "I guess you are the prince of Luzon Zheng Sen! I am the King of Western King Zhang Xianzhong and your father Zheng Yiguan are friends!"

Seeing this, Zheng Sen frowned and responded coldly, "Oh, it turns out to be His Highness the Western King!"

Although Zhang Xianzhong was a bandit and Zheng Zhilong was a pirate, and no one was nobler than anyone else, Zheng Sen was educated by Confucianism and looked down on Zhang Xianzhong. In particular, Zhang Xianzhong also said that he did not have a relationship with Zheng Zhilong and obviously wanted Zheng Sen to call him uncle.

Zheng Sen responded and found a seat to sit down. Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but twitched, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

At this time, the guards outside the hall shouted, "Your Majesty is here!"

After Gao Huan went to the morning court, he hurried over, walked in and looked at it, and smiled and said, "Both dear friends have arrived!"

"I'm here to pay homage to Your Majesty!" The two of them stood up to salute.
