Chen Xinyue's gentleness is completely opposite to Aliya's. She is like the flowing water on the small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River, gentle and elegant. She follows the spring breeze for eighty miles and sees the willows Yiyi again.
It is the rustling sound of the begonia forest in spring, and the tenderness of the lotus pond after the summer rain.
"Your Highness, you still have to go to the palace. When you come back, you have to report to your father first." Chen Xinyue's body was a little limp, but she was still thinking about Zhu Zhanzhen.
"I'm tired today, so I won't go."
"Your Highness, please be polite and have someone come to help His Highness change his clothes."
Zhu Zhanzhen put on his clothes and shaved Chen Xinyue's nose: "Wait for me when I come back tonight."
"Your Highness, there are still people watching."
When Zhu Zhanzhen walked out of the room, Chen Xinyue followed the method taught by the nanny in the palace and made a buttock bridge to avoid any leakage.
…
In the prince's study, when Zhu Zhanzhen arrived, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanjuan had already arrived. Zhu Gaochi rarely blamed him. After all, the prince had interceded.
"It's more than an hour late. If His Majesty were here, you would have been overstepped again."
"My son went home and packed his bags before coming to see his father."
Zhu Gaochi did not continue the topic but said: "Gao Xu, you have worked hard on this trip. From Jiayuguan to conquer the Western Regions, you can be called the first person throughout the ages. Even the Western Regions Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty is far behind you. You are not the best in the world."
For your merits, Your Majesty will receive a big reward when the time comes."
Zhu Gaoxu's reward is not something he can decide.
"Zhan Yu, you did a very good job this time. The story of how you defeated the Tatar Chagatai coalition has now been made into a TV series. Everyone calls you a young hero. Zhan Yu, you also did a very good job. Northwest
Not only was the war won and the Silk Road restarted, but the economy and people's livelihood in Suzhou and Ganzhou also increased significantly this year. This was never the case during the war."
"Father, this is what a son should do." The two of them saluted respectfully.
What Zhu Gaochi was most satisfied with was Zhu Zhanzhen. He handled things in an orderly manner. Apart from taking in another concubine, he seemed to be unable to find any shortcomings.
"As for the rewards for the two of you, His Majesty is still on his way back, but he has already sent someone a message to come back and make an exception to the rule."
Upon hearing the news, the only person present who was not very happy was Zhu Gaoxu.
The emperor's son was granted the title of king, and the prince's son was granted the title of county prince. Now the prince's two sons should not be four. Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong are coming back from the Northern Expedition soon, and they will both be granted the title of king. What does that mean?
It means that the prince's position is stable.
But Zhu Gaoxu could not express any opinions on this matter now. He just said angrily: "Brother, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I will let Zhan Yun and Zhan Yi tell you the report."
"Okay, Gao Xu, you have worked hard. Go back and have a good rest. We will hold a celebration dinner when His Majesty comes back in two days."
After Zhu Gaoxu left, the father and son started talking.
"This battle is certain. The world will return to its heart. The surrounding countries will no longer threaten the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's territory is thousands of miles away. You, the emperor, should also accept it."
Zhu Di finally became the emperor he most wanted to be through the ages. This achievement is unique throughout the ages and is comparable to that of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han.
"I just got the news. Zhanji will arrive in about three days. Your Majesty should be able to make it in time for the New Year within ten days. Zhanzhanzhanju is busy with many things in the palace now. You two should rest less and help more.
A little busy."
"Yes, father."
…
Ten days later, twenty miles outside the capital, all the courtiers came out to greet him. Princes and grandsons stood all over the mountain, with officials from the six ministries behind them. The onlookers were blocked from several hills. Heavy soldiers surrounded them, and even a rabbit ran away.
Don't come in.
When the dragon chariot came slowly from a distance, everyone was a little excited. Their Ming Emperor was back.
Nine tall horses opened the way, escorted by the imperial army, and the eunuchs arrived first.
"The Emperor of Ming Dynasty has arrived, call."
"Long live your Majesty."
"Call again."
"Long live your Majesty."
"Three calls."
"Your Majesty, long live long live."
A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami filled the sky, and Zhu Di walked out of the dragon chariot, dressed in a military uniform. He obviously preferred this war suit to the dragon robe.
The whole world surrendered and everyone admired him. Every man saw this scene and was envious.
Zhu Di looked around with hawk-like eyes and laughed: "Okay, okay, okay."
"The Ming Dynasty is clear, and God has given it to all nations.
The ancestors obeyed the orders, and the four sects followed the rules.
People from all over the world come to court, and all countries congratulate you.
Heaven should have no bounds, and peace will last forever."
Zhu Di read a few sentences and adapted them based on He Zhizhang of the Tang Dynasty.
"God bless China, let us have a prosperous Ming Dynasty." Zhu Di's voice was full of energy and shocked people's hearts.
"God bless Your Majesty, may the Ming Dynasty be prosperous and prosperous."
Zhu Di looked at his country with satisfaction. Everything he saw was the Ming Dynasty. He let out a sigh of relief. He understood that after today, you can write history books as you like. This ancient achievement will be written with great ink and color by future generations. This
The throne in this world should have belonged to him, Zhu Di.
"I want to ride a horse again." Zhu Di suddenly said.
"Father, my son captured a horse in the Western Region this time. Father wants to ride a horse and it can be used."
It was an extraordinary and handsome horse, the best horse in the Chagatai Khanate.
Zhu Di looked at the divine horse and reached out to touch its golden fur: "Good horse, good horse."
His skills were not as strong as before. In the past, he could get on the horse by turning over, but now he had to step on the eunuch's back to get on the horse while the eunuch leaned over to make a horse stool.
"Do you still remember when you rode horses and whipped with me?"
"Today we will end at the city gate. You will ride with me again."
As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanjun, and Zhu Zhanzhen all responded and mounted their horses, all riding bloody horses.
"Father, my riding skills have improved a lot this time in the Western Regions." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
"drive."
Without saying a word, they galloped forward, with Zhu Di taking the lead on the divine horse.
But gradually everyone discovered that Zhu Di's speed had slowed down. He was old and his physical fitness could no longer keep up. He stopped before he reached the city gate, and others also stopped.
"I'm old, I'm old, I won't be able to outrun you in the future." Zhu Di patted the horse's neck. Under the winter sun, the sweaty horse after exercise showed obvious muscle lines, as if it was bleeding.
"Prince Han, come here."
"My son is here."
Zhu Di said earnestly: "Prince Han, you have made such a great contribution this time, what reward do you want."
"Father, I don't dare."
"Change your fiefdom and enclose the land of Zhejiang and Fujian."
"My dear, thank you."
These are the two most prosperous places besides Yingtian Mansion, Shuntian Mansion and Guangzhou Mansion. They were all given to Zhu Gaoxu. How could Zhu Gaoxu be unhappy?
"Gao Sui, you understand my feelings best, so stay in Shuntian Mansion."
"Yes, Father." Zhu Gaosui did not receive any reward because he had no merit in this campaign. Instead, he was delayed in delivering supplies to Zhu Di.
"Zhan Ji, now everyone in the Ming Dynasty compares you to Huo Qubing of the Ming Dynasty. Huo Qubing was a hussar general. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a wound for Huo Qubing. He had a gold seal and purple ribbon and the same position as the Third Duke. You are the grandson, so I will not grant you the title.
You don’t have any gold or silver, I will give you the title of General Hanhai, and no one will be able to take this position from now on."
From the emperor's level, equating Zhu Zhanji's achievements with Huo Qubing's, Zhu Zhanji's unparalleled achievements have arrived.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang."
"Zhanyong, you have done a great job in defeating the Tatar-Chagatai coalition. Zhanyong, you followed Zhanji on the expedition, took the lead, and fought bravely. You are my good grandson. From today on, both of you will be granted vassal status."
The size of the king is the same as the same period last year." Although there is no king, the actual rights are the same.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Di is now bestowing awards on ministers who have made great contributions to the world. He will first award these royal people who have made particularly great contributions this time.
Finally it was Zhu Zhanzhen’s turn.
"Zhan Zhan, you have done a good job in the northwest. Whether it is new weapons, taking care of people's livelihood, or combat readiness and supplies, you have done an excellent job. You have the ability to supervise the country. What do you think I should reward you for?"
Zhu Zhanzhen chuckled and said nothing. He knew that Zhu Di was a man who kept his promises.
Zhu Di looked at him with deep eyes and said: "I allow you to set up three-year compulsory education in Yingtian Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture, imitating Guangzhou Prefecture, to enlighten the people of the world. Three-year compulsory education is our national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be provided in various places where the situation is suitable.
When a university is opened, I allow books like [Origin] to be published."
Everyone was shocked. Before, Zhu Di thought that Zhu Zhanzhen had been punished for the book Origins, but now it was allowed to be published.
Zhu Zhanzhen saluted respectfully: "My grandson, thank you, Grandpa Huang."
If the Ming Dynasty wants to prosper for eternity, and if China wants to prosper for eternity, the current situation of learning must be changed.
…
In the villa of the Prince of Zhujiang County in the city, an urgent message sealed with fire paint was waiting for Zhu Zhanzhen to open it. It was a secret letter from Japan.
