Chapter 410 Climbing high and looking far

The city of Jinling is very lively, and the Regent's wedding celebrates the whole country. Hou Xuanyan stands on the high building overlooking the bustling city of Jinling.

Changganli and Wuyi Lane, the roads paved with large pieces of bluestone, look very clean, the streets are planned strictly, and the businesses on the streets of Jinling City are orderly and lively.

Even the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties is the most prosperous today, and a unique era of great governance has begun to emerge in Jinling.

A gust of wind blew behind him, mixed with a faint fragrance. Hou Xuan moved his eyebrows and smelled the fragrance and knew that it was Yang Fujin coming.

Although Yang Fujin has not practiced martial arts, he has been healthy since childhood and has recovered quickly after giving birth. His tall and slender body has become a little plump, but it has become more charming and charming. His light green clothes make his whole body fresh and lively. His beautiful and white face is full of infatuation and gentleness, more elegant and mature than before.

Hou Xuanyan turned around, took his daughter from her arms, and smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

"Xiao Taoer said she missed you, so I'll take her to find you." Yang Fujin smiled sly, but the child in his arms was clearly a child who couldn't speak, and it was a seven-point sense of acting coquettish.

Hou Xuanyan didn't expose it, and reached out to hold the well-behaved and cute little daughter in his arms. Hou Qi once named her granddaughter Hou Wanshu. Yang Fujin naturally did not dare to object, but insisted on taking a nickname, called "Xiao Taoer". Only Hou Xuanyan knew it was because of the promise that he had returned when the peach blossoms in Yunlong Mountain were blooming.

Holding her daughter, Hou Xuanyan had the most realistic feeling of integrating into this colorful and chaotic era. The little girl was only a few months old, with dark eyes as dark as ink, and her little face was very cute. Hou Xuanyan teased her and said, "No matter whether I have this ability or not, I really want to govern this world well. I like the people and customs here, the palaces here, the poems and songs here."

Yang Fujin didn't know why Hou Xuanyan suddenly said such words, but she still said considerately: "My husband must be OK, Jin'er believes in you." After that, she also made a cheerful move, which made Hou Xuanyan laugh, hugged her beautiful wife and daughter in her arms, and looked at the peaceful and prosperous times below, and felt full of passion.

After fighting for so long, many brothers died finally drove the Tartars out. Hou Xuanyan also established his own power step by step, but his own power must always hold the reins tightly and not go astray. Fortunately, he is young and strong, and still has enough time to control this galloping empire.

Qin He rushed upstairs excitedly, and heard the voice of Princess Jin inside, and shouted outside the door: "Prince, Duke Wei has returned to the court, and is waiting for the prince in front of the mansion."

When Hou Xuanyan heard this, he handed his daughter to Yang Fujin, touched the mother and her face, and walked downstairs like an enclave. Yang Fujin looked at the back of his man, his eyes full of tenderness and satisfaction. This is the husband that all his daughters dream of.

In the lobby of the outer palace of the royal palace, Zhu Dadian was holding a cup of tea and was enjoying the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the hall. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, before he could see a figure, he heard: "Haha, Lao Zhu, where are you?"

Zhu Dadian put down the teacup in his hand, and went out to welcome him and happened to meet Hou Xuanyan recently, and hurriedly said, "Prince."

Hou Xuanyan held his hand and smiled and said, "Old Zhu, you are old and you are helping me to go to Japan. I can't bear it. Fortunately, this time the task is completed, you will stay in Jinling and share wealth with me, so that we can meet each other often."

Zhu Dadian felt aroused in his heart. He heard that most of the former generals of the Northern Expedition had been removed from military power, and only Shuiziying and Houtuying guarded the north and the other was guarding Fujian, so that the old system could be maintained. What is the prince saying now?

Zhu Dadian is different from the generals of the Liehuo Camp. This old man didn't want to fight any more. Hou Xuanyan's words were exactly what he wanted. First of all, he had no title, and he had to be a king even if he went to a higher place. Moreover, his descendants did not serve as officials, but instead followed the prince's national policy and went into business. After success and fame, they had money. They should have enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous era long ago, otherwise they would have fought to conquer the country. Why did they come?

"What the prince said is very much. Recently, the officials often feel sore waist and back pain, weak hands and feet, and dizzy. It is really hard to command the army. If they can return to the court and gather with the prince often, it is considered that the prince is sympathetic to our old subordinates. As for the matter of Japan, will the Shuizi Camp still be stationed?" Although Zhu Dadian had the intention to retreat, as the commander of the Shuizi Camp, he could not let go of his subordinates' affairs, and he had to find a good retreat for them. In the future, these people will be their old subordinates, and it depends on them to take care of their descendants.

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Shuiziying is the old Huangsheng Dynasty in the Northern Expedition. The Liehuoying has returned to the countryside and has been stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Shuiziying has all the people in Yingtianfu, including Suzhou, Jinling, Changzhou, etc., and it is time to return home in glory for a long time. I have already thought about the garrison in Japan, so I will let the Songjiang Navy and Denglai Navy take turns to garrison. Every six months, we cannot let our soldiers stay overseas for a long time."

Zhu Dadian lowered his head and looked normal in his eyes, and he clasped his fists and said, "The prince is kind-hearted and polite to the soldiers. The subordinate official thanked the prince for the soldiers of Yuanshuiying."

"The disabled soldiers in the army must be well paid for their care. The heroes who have been killed must find out their families and settle down. The Northern Expedition is not easy, and now the success of the soldiers cannot be disappointed."

Zhu Dadian then felt relieved. The prince was still the prince. He would not be treated badly with him. Anyway, he had achieved success and fame. What's the use of greed for military power? Now that the military power is in hand, it's like a hot potato. People like Zhu Dadian are eager to throw it away.

Hou Xuanyan pulled Zhu Dadian and took him to the courtyard in the backyard without saying a word, and ordered him to prepare wine and food to drink with Lao Zhu.

Hou Xuanyan smiled and said, "You are here to catch up with my wedding. Although you are tired from the journey, you still have to worry about being the mastermind for me."

Zhu Dadian said happily: "If this is the case, it is the honor of the lower officials."

"Haha, last time in Suzhou, the old guy Xia Yunyi gave me a set of ancient rituals, which was extremely complicated! He was so addicted to himself that he almost exhausted us. This time we can agree to keep it simple."

After a while, after the food and drinks came, Hou Xuanyan and Zhu Dadian drank in the pavilion.

"The Japanese in Japan are quite gentle. At the beginning, the officials really thought they were strong and unyielding. Who knew that after a few tough battles, they would be completely changed." Zhu Dadian talked about the trivial matters in Japan in detail, and Hou Xuanyan listened very seriously.

Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but interrupt, "Those people have always bullied the weak. Only when you are stronger than him and beat him up will he know that they are powerful. If we are weaker than him and the navy cannot beat him, the gentleness of the current is fake, and I will give you a arrogant and domineering person. Now that our people have gained a foothold in Japan, I will prepare to let Tokugawa Iegura send troops to fight North Korea."

Zhu Dadian nodded and said, "In the first year of Jingyou, North Korea sent troops to assist Qing in making trouble for the tiger, burning, killing and looting in Shandong, and Jinan Prefecture was furious and resentful. Although Li Haoxian later led them into Jingguan to pay tribute to the dead, he still couldn't relieve his hatred. Not to mention those North Korean officials who decided to send troops were still in charge of power in their own country, they should indeed fight."

"Our soldiers are all Han people, their hearts are red, their blood is hot, and they can't bear it if they use some cruel means. It's impossible to conquer North Korea. They should let the Japanese soldiers fight and let them see what cruelty means, so that they will know the pain.

The Japanese were responsible for sending troops. I gave them food, grass and ammunition, and we would go after they were captured. From Korea, Jingbei, Ji and Liao encircled three times. The Tatars thought it would be fine if they ran outside the pass, but they had to revenge their blood feuds for the past four years."

Zhu Dadian drank a sip of sake and thought to himself that there would be many more battles in the future. In this case, the old subordinates of the Shuiziying camp would not have to worry about it. Hehe, my old bones won’t compete with the young young man.

"Come on, Prince, I'll give you a cup."
