PreviousBack to directoryNext
The sunshine makes the autumn wind very warm, making people unable to help but lie lazily on the grass or benches and enjoy the tranquility of autumn.

The fallen leaves are circling slightly in the wind, and occasionally three or two leaves are forming a playful pact in the wind, like butterflies flying in the summer.

In the autumn, the Forbidden City is peaceful and quiet. The golden glazed tiles have become more colorful after tempering the sharpness of summer.

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting on the dragon chair, with sesame-seed pancakes in his left hand and a memorial in his right hand, eating and reading at the same time.

Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he thought deeply. He was so absorbed in watching it that the sesame seeds on the sesame cakes fell all over the royal desk.

"Good kill!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly gritted his teeth and said that he was holding the memorial delivered by Zhu Yunxi in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. It recorded in detail the beginning and end of the disaster in Fuzhou, the resettlement method after his arrival, and the treatment of officials in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was watching the scene of Fuzhou Tongzhi being sentenced by Zhu Yunxi in front of countless people, and having his head kicked like a ball.

"These black-hearted officials should be killed. They deserve to die because they are greedy and harm the people!" Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, "Great Sun, well done!"

As he spoke, he bit the sesame seed cake in his mouth, picked up the ink pen and marked it carefully.

"Such officials whose consciences were eaten by dogs would not be relieved even if they were killed. The properties of Li Tai and Zhang Guangyi were confiscated, their wives and daughters were transferred to the Jiaofang Division, and the men were sent to Guangxi for exile. They were not allowed to study and take scientific examinations for generations.

He cannot be an official, is registered as a slave, and will be a pariah for generations to come."

Remember https://m in one second.

After I finished writing, I took a bite of the sesame seed cake and continued reading.

"Zhang Shan, the magistrate of Fuzhou, is an honest, down-to-earth and hard-working official. He is a good official who is simple and upright as the emperor said. When my grandson arrived in Fuzhou, Zhang Shan had already led people to build the embankment at the breach for more than ten days."

"At the beginning of the disaster in Fuzhou, the civil uprising and relief efforts were not successful because he was ignored by his subordinates. Although he was responsible, his grandson thought it was excusable. My grandson was bold and asked the emperor not to attack this person. He was demoted and kept in office to see what happens next.

effect."

"Note, Zhang Shan's daughter is good at making soup and rice. I heard that the emperor's grandfather loves duck eggs, so I specially sent her the double yolk salted eggs from her hometown in Gaoyou, saying it was for the old man to try!"

"Ha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud when he saw this and said to himself, "Well, for the sake of this basket of salted eggs, I will spare this kindness this time."

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled again, "Zhang Shan, Xiandan, Zhang Xiandan! Haha, there is another joke in the officialdom!"

The old man smiled knowingly in the main hall, and the palace attendants felt a lot more at ease. Ever since His Highness King Wu went to Jiangxi on official business, the old man didn't like anyone, and everyone was in trepidation these days.

At this moment, Pu Bucheng, the chief eunuch, came in from the outside, "Your Majesty, King Xiang, and King Qi's chariots have arrived at the canal dock of Yingtian Mansion. The teams of King Yan and King Ning are less than thirty miles away from the capital."

"Oh!" Zhu Yuanzhang was startled at first, and then he understood. It was his birthday soon, and these sons had returned to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.

Thinking of this, the smile on the old man's face became even brighter. He is a person who values ​​family and blood. He and Zhu Yunxi are the only two people in the palace. Now that the whole family has returned to the group, how can he be unhappy?

"Got it!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and ordered, "Let them not rush into the palace and work hard all the way. They can rest in a private house in the city first." After saying that, he laughed again, "They are all tall and strong and are not afraid of getting tired. Don't be exhausted.

Kill our grandsons and granddaughters!"

"Yes! I will go and deliver the message right now!" Pu Bucheng smiled, bowed and stepped back.

"Oh!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and rubbed his hands as there was no one in the hall, "Our sons are all back, and the league members are competing for the New Year, haha, haha!"

However, as he smiled and smiled, the smile on his face became playful, and he said to himself, "When the children are older, they all know how to play tricks. Each fiefdom is different, some are far away, some are near, and they actually calculated the right time to come back together.

, playing tricks on dad, damn it!"

I laughed and cursed in my heart, and picked up the memorial again, but I couldn't stand it anymore.

Standing up, walking outside the hall, looking into the distance, the old man said to himself, "Grandson, everything in Jiangxi has been settled. Your uncles have all arrived, why don't you come back?"

After looking at it for a while, he turned back and walked towards the imperial desk, thinking as he walked, "I don't know what kind of birthday gift you have prepared for grandpa, grandson, but it must be something good that can shock your uncles, otherwise others will

Some say something!"

As he said that, the old man sat down on the dragon chair and suddenly found that the imperial table was covered with sesame seeds that had fallen from the sesame cakes.

Now he carefully swept it into the palm of his hand, opened his mouth and put it in. While chewing, he thought to himself, "Every porridge and meal are hard-earned. They are all the hard work of the people and cannot be wasted!"

Twenty miles outside Yingtian City, outside a pavilion for people to rest, there are all Ming Dynasty tigers.

In the autumn wind, the skirts under their armor swayed slightly. The armor on their bodies was extremely dazzling in the sun.

Hundreds of people stood silently around, each of them standing as straight as a javelin, holding their heads high and looking forward. In the pavilion, a young general in his forties sat on a stone bench with a golden sword, thinking thoughtfully.

Looking into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, smoke and dust rose up in the general's sight, and at the same time there were faint thunderous horse hooves shaking the earth.

The horses' hooves were getting closer and closer, deafening like war drums.

The autumn wind blows, fallen leaves fly, and forest birds flap their wings and keep circling.

The power brought by the cavalry made the warm autumn wind suddenly become chilling.

However, these majestic Ming tigers remained motionless, but the swords on their waists made a faint neighing sound.

Suddenly, there was a roar of war horses.

Within sight, several cavalrymen were rushing towards them at lightning speed. There were only a few of them, but they seemed to be thousands of troops, as if they could break through everything and be unstoppable.

The military commander in the pavilion suddenly stood up, and the armor plates on his body made a loud noise.

Then, he strode forward, walked to the front of the standing tiger, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed directly to the oncoming knight.

"My lord, the Governor of the Qianyuan of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion is safe, and I have been ordered to welcome King Yan to his thousandth birthday!"

Lulululu, the charging horse was suddenly pulled by the knight on the reins. The front hooves of the best horse outside the fortress soared into the air, and the mane on its neck kept swaying in the autumn wind.

Then, King Zhu Di of Yan jumped down from his horse nimbly and strode over.

Zhu Di's voice was as loud as a bell and he laughed loudly, "Before I came here, I was still thinking about who would pick me up, but I didn't expect it was you Ping Bao'er!"

The general who picked him up was none other than Ping An Ping Bao'er, one of Emperor Hongwu's adopted sons.

The old prince's birthday was approaching, and vassal princes from all over the country came to the capital, and the imperial court sent military officers to greet him.

Peace, officially welcome King Zhu Di of Yan.

Seeing Zhu Di striding towards him, Ping Ping bowed again and said, "My lord, I'd like to see King Yan live a thousand years!"

"Don't do this with me!" Zhu Di smiled and helped him up, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and you, Pingbao'er, have learned all these stupid things. You forgot when you wrestled with me, pinned me down and beat me.

Already?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's son and adopted son both grew up together. When they were young, there were not so many differences between them as monarchs and ministers.

Ping Baoer said with some embarrassment, "I was young and ignorant back then..."

"You're still panting when I say you're fat?" Zhu Di laughed and said, "The more I talk about you, the more you make these false gestures!" After saying that, he punched Ping An on the shoulder and said with some loneliness, "In these years, we brothers have met each other.

The days are getting fewer and fewer!”
