Zhang Ziming wiped his tears and got up from the ground.
He looked around and said with a smile: "Folks, I'm leaving for Beijing. Please help take care of my yard. Also, my son is in Jiangzhou. If he comes back, tell him
Just say, don’t let him worry. By the way, I’ll bother you guys and give him a bowl of hot rice. Don’t let the child go hungry.”
The folks around him nodded and took note of them all.
Zhang Ziming's life has not been easy.
The first half of my life was not a good one. I finally made great achievements, was assigned a piece of land, and settled down. However, my children failed to live up to expectations. Now I think they are fifteen or sixteen years old. I can only work in the city as an apprentice. It’s really
I am ashamed of my father’s expectations.
"Brother Zhang, when you come to Beijing this time and meet His Majesty, tell Him to arrange a good job for the child and let him work in the Yamen. This is not a matter of His Majesty's words."
Zhang Ziming was slightly startled, but still shook his head and said: "He is not the person who eats that bowl of rice. He doesn't have the ability. If he eats it reluctantly, he will die! Okay, I'm going to leave as soon as possible!"
Zhang Ziming left home in a hurry. On his way to the capital, there were inns, horses and vehicles, food, clothing, housing and transportation. All arrangements were made. As long as he took the invitation, he could travel smoothly and the whole journey was free.
But Zhang Ziming didn't ask for anything. He was in good health and could walk. One meal and one dish was enough for him to eat every day. He didn't have any gifts, so he carried half a bag of millet and headed for the capital along the main road.
There are not a few people who have also embarked on the road to Beijing with him.
These people include people from all walks of life, men, women, old and young, all kinds of people... The estimated total number should be more than a thousand.
Lao Zhu has ruled the world for fifteen years and is planning to hold a grand event.
With Zhang Ximeng here, it would not be necessary to bring in a thousand old men to eat one meal, only to return with 800 and leave 200 behind and bury them directly. Zhang Ximeng cannot do such a thing.
We should reward the meritorious officials in a correct manner, correct people's hearts, summarize the past, and imagine the future.
A large-scale event must be of value.
If Hongwu's ten-year military parade was to demonstrate his power, this time it was an out-and-out appeal to tenderness.
For example, Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, because he took a boat, he entered Beijing very quickly, and he was among the first batch to enter Beijing.
As soon as he arrived, Mao Gui, Minister of Foreign Affairs, came to see him.
"Uncle Mao!"
Han Lin'er spoke first. Mao Gui was startled, but he also laughed.
"Finally we meet again, are you okay?"
Mao Gui asked Han Lin'er to sit down, and the two of them felt like they were in another world. If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, Mao Gui would definitely not be able to meet Han Lin'er in private, and Han Lin'er would not be able to meet Uncle Mao, who is the minister.
But with this time, it became possible to communicate through letters and even visit each other in the future.
Han Lin'er said: "It's good. I'm married and have a baby girl. I usually teach and my life is very stable."
Mao Gui nodded, "I've heard all about it. It's said that you were rated as an excellent teacher. The children you taught got very good grades. A dozen of them were admitted to Fudan Academy? You have merit!"
Han Lin'er's face turned red and she said hurriedly: "Uncle Mao, you also know that ever since Uncle Liu raised his army and fought back and forth with the Yuan Dynasty, the Central Plains has been devastated and the people have been devastated. It is we who have failed the people of the Central Plains, and we are sorry for them.
.The present is nothing more than atonement for the past.”
Mao Gui was startled for a moment and sighed: "Don't think so. At that time, it was already very rare to stand up and raise troops to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. The Grand Master also specifically told me that this time the selection of meritorious people was not
When choosing a saint, you must focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones, and look at the main aspects. The Grand Master always has a high position, and this is fair!"
Han Lin'er was stunned for a moment, paused for a moment, and then summoned up the courage to ask, "Uncle Mao, what did the Grand Master say about my father?"
"The first righteousness is meritorious, and people obey the heaven and the people." Mao Gui said with a smile: "The grand master's intention is to posthumously confer the title of Hero of China on your father-in-law, award him with a medal, and build a stone statue in his hometown as a commemoration to be passed down from generation to generation."
Hearing this, Han Lin'er burst into tears and couldn't bear it anymore. She actually knelt on her knees and kept kowtowing.
"I know it, I know it... The grand master's mind is rare in the world. The Ming Dynasty encompasses the sun and the moon, which is far beyond the previous generations. I am so lucky!"
No wonder Han Lin'er was so excited. It was not too unusual that he could save his life. After all, although Liu Futong died, his power still existed, even if it was to appease people's hearts, it was appropriate.
After all, the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty was not killed immediately.
But then again, after the world becomes stable, people like them are often the first to get rid of weeds and pests.
But this time when the medals were distributed, Han Shantong was given top priority and he was invited to Beijing.
This is to tell everyone that the Ming Dynasty did not do what it did in previous dynasties. It treated Han Lin'er and Han Song Dynasty with a clear conscience and righteousness.
It's best if you don't have any random ideas. Even if you do, be honest and don't seek death yourself.
Han Lin'er kowtowed, and after a while he got up from the ground and said to Mao Gui: "Uncle Mao, I, I plan to go to see Grand Master Zhang and thank him, do you think that's okay?"
Mao Gui smiled, "There are many people coming to Beijing during this period, and they are all similar to you. They all want to see the grand master... Well, I will try my best to arrange it and make sure you can see them."
Han Lin'er agreed. He looked through the newspapers in the hotel and found that there were indeed many people coming to Beijing, including some acquaintances.
For example, Guan Duo was ordered to go to Beijing to receive the medal.
Guan Duo was also an old minister of Han and Song Dynasties. He commanded the Central Army of the Northern Expedition and made an extreme detour.
Weaving through the grasslands, we fought our way to Liaodong, and even crossed the Yalu River and reached Korea.
Draw the route they took on the map, and future generations will have to show their thumbs up and shout "Awesome!"
Guan Duo's visit to Beijing this time also attracted a lot of people's attention. Moreover, Guan Duo was also very interesting. He also brought a book called "The Expedition of Ten Thousand Miles", which recorded the trajectory of their journey, and it contained detailed records.
The process of the Northern Expedition between Han and Song dynasties is detailed and of great historical value.
Following Guan Duo's visit to Beijing, newspapers reported on it one after another. This book also became a bestseller, and there was a lot of discussion in the market, which was very lively.
In addition, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou also entered Beijing from Fengyang.
Their scenery is infinitely different from others, so these two guys are very embarrassed. Back then, they bullied Zhu Yuanzhang, colluded with outsiders, and even Guo Tianxu even coveted Queen Ma... All these bad things combined were enough to cut them into pieces.
It's broken into pieces.
But Lao Zhu was still polite, and he actually thought of them when something big happened.
These two guys don’t know whether they are blessed with good luck or bad luck...
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw them, he asked directly: "Guo Tianxu, are you married? How are your children?"
Guo Tianxu's face was miserable, "Caomin, Caomin married a widow, and she brought a child with her. Now the child has grown up, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the child is unfilial, she, she beat me!" Guo Tianxu's voice was low and crying.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and sneered: "How do you expect a stepson to treat you? Don't forget that when Guo Shuai was in poor health, your own son was not in good health either! This is retribution. You found it yourself!"
Guo Tianxu could only agree and did not dare to refute at all.
As for Zhang Tianyou, he seems to be even more miserable. Before going to Beijing, his wife got divorced and had already gone home to make a new marriage.
If nothing else happens, he will die alone.
Lao Zhu looked at these two idiots... and looked away. At first, they were aloof and looked down on him. Twenty years later, he took charge of the world and became the supreme leader.
These two people are already old, and their old age is miserable.
Perhaps this result would be much crueler than killing them.
"Let me tell you, this time I go to Beijing, I will also posthumously award Guo Shuai the Medal. You can collect it on my behalf. Don't think that going to Beijing once will make any difference. You can do whatever you want. Do you understand?"
Guo Tianxu nodded repeatedly, "I understand, the common people understand! The common people are asking for it, they are all to blame themselves..."
Lao Zhu snorted and told them to get lost.
These two things are the cecum in the body, which cannot be lived without. If you see them too much, they will become inflamed.
Let’s find something happy!
For example, Li Shanchang has already arrived at Yingtian by boat. Logically speaking, he is the farthest away and it is inconvenient to enter Beijing.
But by taking the sea route and taking a speed boat, I got ahead of many people.
In recent years, Ming Dynasty's navigation and shipbuilding technology has developed rapidly.
It is worth mentioning that due to the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty and its possession of many excellent raw material producing areas, ships were built fast and well, and their shipping speed and transportation volume increased by leaps and bounds.
It took Lao Li less than a month to reach Yingtian.
After he got off the boat, he was in high spirits and showed no sign of fatigue.
Even after getting rid of the complicated government affairs, Lao Li has regained his youth a little bit.
After all, it was much easier in Goryeo than in Ming Dynasty. At least there was no one named Zhang around.
"Brother Li, how is the situation in Goryeo? The King of Goryeo is still here, and you, a Korean prince, have not been able to become a regular official. Isn't it a pity?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile.
Li Shanchang had a dark face and snorted coldly: "If you hadn't forced me to arrange for 200,000 people to plant sugar cane, I would have taken action long ago!"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "That's what His Majesty wants. To be honest, if I hadn't helped him deal with it, Your Majesty would have wanted half a million!"
Li Shanchang was startled for a moment, and then sneered. He didn't care whether it was true or not. It didn't matter since he had been away from the court for a long time.
"Today, Goryeo is indeed in full swing. I beg you, Grand Master Zhang, no matter what, don't get in the way. I beg you!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded with a smile, "Brother Li, don't worry, we have been friends for so many years, I won't cheat you again."
But Zhang Ximeng didn't know that at this moment, a group of people in Goryeo were planning an action.
There was a teenage boy at the head, his name was Zhang Dong.
"To be honest, my father captured a city by himself back then, and now it's my turn. The King of Korea is in a precarious situation, so let's fight in, seize the throne, and let the court make us the King of Korea. It's not bad."
The group of maritime merchants following Zhang Dong nodded one after another, "Since Mr. Zhang and I are a hero, we will all work with you!"
