11-66 Duke of Zhenguo

12-1 Silly son

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor issued an edict to negotiate peace with Xixia, and sent the Minister of Rites and Wenyuange scholar Hou Xun to Chang'an to handle the peace negotiations. At the same time, the title of the Western Expeditionary Army was revoked and renamed the Dingbian Army. Shaanxi, Gansu, and both civil and military officials were rewarded

, Liu Ziguang removed the title of General of the Western Conquest and went to Beijing to take over the title of reward.

The railway from Chang'an to Tongguan has not yet been opened to traffic, but the road has been repaired. Liu Ziguang took Dong Xiaowan and Xue Xiangying to say goodbye to Huo Lingyao and embarked on the road back to Beijing. They were eager to return home all the way and kept riding fast. They changed trains from Tongguan to Xuzhou Prefecture.

, and then transferred to a steamer to Nanjing.

Emperor Tianqi personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome Liu Ziguang outside the city. He returned to the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. It was like a lifetime ago. Zhu Youxiao was in high spirits and said to Liu Ziguang sincerely, "My dear, thank you for your hard work." Then he held his hand and climbed into the mountain together.

As the royal chariot entered the palace, flowers were blooming along the way, and countless people lined the streets to welcome Liu Ziguang's triumphant return. Looking at Zhu Youxiao's enthusiastic face and listening to the endless compliments, Liu Ziguang did not dare to accept it with peace of mind. He relied on everything he said.

The emperor's favor is great and the ancestors have blessed me, but I am just running errands.

Back at the palace, a banquet had been set up in the Fengtian Palace, and they were just waiting for the monarchs and ministers to sit down. Zhu Youxiao changed his robes and climbed onto the throne with the support of the eunuchs, announcing the banquet had begun. During the banquet, the ministers took turns toasting to Liu Ziguang, which overwhelmed him.

, apologized to everyone, who knew that even the emperor knew his reputation of never getting drunk after a thousand cups, and said with a smile that he would not come home until he was drunk. In the end, Liu Ziguang was really drunk. Fortunately, he could keep his head clear when he was drunk, and did not say any nonsense.

.

The drunken Liu Ziguang was sent back to the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion. A group of wives and concubines rushed over to serve him, complaining that the emperor was unkind and sent him thousands of miles away to fight for a year. After finally returning, he was not allowed to go home to see his wife.

My child, why don't you go into the palace and drink a lot of wine first?

Liu Ziguang drank two bowls of hangover soup and returned to normal. He said: "The emperor is becoming more and more dignified. He has an imperial air in every move. Fortunately, my drinking capacity has not declined much. Otherwise, it would be a crime to talk and act erratically when I was drunk."

I will forgive you for the sin of disobedience before you."

Peng Jingrong said: "You are a great hero. I am a person who wants to save face. I will never do this trick at this juncture. If you want to do it, you should take your time. I think the world is now at peace."

, I no longer need you as a loyal minister and good general, why not quickly resign to the Holy Lord, retreat bravely, and go to overseas places to live the life of a rich man, wouldn't it be nice?"

Liu Ziguang said: "Having said that, I have countless industries and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and workers. If I leave, they will be bullied and bullied. It is a pity to think that all the hard work over the years will be ruined."

Peng Jingrong said: "Industries can be transferred slowly, and they do not necessarily die of old age, sickness and death in the Central Plains. The territory China Merchants has opened up in the past two years is no less than that of a general like you. There are so many unclaimed lands overseas. Even if you can manage them all your life,

It’s not over. After you resign from all official positions, you can go overseas and develop as you like. No one will care about you even if you want to be king and hegemon. If you don’t trust these old brothers, just take them with you."

Liu Ziguang was speechless. It is an indisputable fact that he has great achievements. Since ancient times, great heroes have not had a good end. How can he be an exception? Think about it, this is the case in human life. Wealth and power will not be brought with him in life or death.

Let's go. After death, it's just a five-foot-long tomb. What's there to fight for? Since Peng Jingrong said she was going to live in seclusion overseas, it meant that the family had reached a consensus, and she had no choice but to agree. It was just to transfer wealth, property, and a large number of people.

, it takes a certain amount of time. During this period, in order to ensure the smooth operation, all power cannot be abandoned.

The people brought back from the Western Regions were arranged to live in the mansion. Peng Jinrong and the others had long heard that Liu Ziguang had helped them take in two more sisters. One of them was the famous Dong Xiaowan, and the other was a very legendary and mysterious one.

Princess Xiangxiang didn't come, and Dong Xiaowan temporarily stayed in her own apartment because of shyness. The only person she brought with her was her goddaughter Xue Xiangying. Seeing such a beautiful little girl

, everyone couldn't help but wanted to kiss her, and the little girl didn't even recognize her child. She followed whoever came, which aroused a lot of love and affection. Peng Jingrong smiled and said: "In total, the master already has three daughters, the daughter of the Zhao family's sister."

She is already over one year old, and the girl Han Xueer gave birth to is also half a year old, but the goddaughter she later became is the oldest, already three years old."

When Liu Ziguang heard Han Xueer's name, he remembered that he had such a wife and daughter that he had not thought of for a long time, and asked: "How are they, mother and daughter?"

"Xue'er is still the same as before. She converted to Taoism, but that daughter only recognizes her mother. I tried to pick her up and raise her several times but failed. Besides, mother and daughter are connected. Xue'er can survive in the world because of this.

I have no spiritual support, so I let mother and daughter live together in the Taoist temple in the mansion. Fortunately, they are hidden in the mansion, otherwise it would be a laughing stock for outsiders to know." Peng Jingrong said.

"They are also poor people. Let me go and see them." Liu Ziguang said sadly. His biological daughter was raised in a Taoist temple, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.

"Don't disturb their peace. This is best. If you go and provoke her to commit suicide, the child will suffer." Peng Jingrong gave up the idea of ​​visiting his daughter and said: "Hurry up and see your parents.

My son, he is almost two years old, he can talk and walk, he is very fun."

Liu Ziguang nodded and left Xue Xiangying in the house. He changed his clothes and went to Wuyi Lane in the south of the city. When he arrived at the door of his house, he did not rush in because he was afraid that his son would not know him and would not call him daddy. He hesitated for a while before knocking the bell.

The courtyard door opened as soon as there was a knock. It was the eldest princess who opened the door. Although it was very late, she was still neatly dressed and had a little powder on her face. It seemed that she had been waiting for Liu Ziguang's arrival.

The moment she saw Liu Ziguang, although she had already been mentally prepared, Zeng Cheng still burst into tears. She grabbed Liu Ziguang's clothes and cried silently. Liu Ziguang hugged her shoulders and said, "Why are you crying? Isn't this back? This

Now that I really won’t leave again, there are no more battles to fight around, so you can rest assured.”

"It's better if we don't fight. If the war continues, my son won't know you as his father." Just as he was saying this, a small figure staggered out of the house. Liu Ziguang looked up and saw that his son Liu Kangang was already one year older.

He has changed a lot since he was a child. He has become a vigorous little boy. He looks exactly like the photos of himself when he was a child. He has a tiger-like head and a tiger-like head. He is very cute, but there are too many Sui own parts and too few Sui Zengcheng parts. He is not long enough.

Handsome.

"Son, come and let daddy hug you." Liu Ziguang bent down and stretched out his hands, looking at his son eagerly. Liu Kangang didn't recognize strangers at all, and was not afraid of this stranger, but he didn't call him daddy at all.

Come over and touch Liu Ziguang's body.

Liu Ziguang asked curiously: "What is this child touching?"

Zeng Cheng smiled and said: "Greedy, it's up to you. The appetite is too big. A child less than two years old is about the same height as a five-year-old child. When he sees someone coming to the house, he will check whether there is anything delicious on his body.

"

Liu Ziguang said: "Don't starve your child because he has a big appetite. Now is the time for growth. Meat, eggs, milk, and food must be balanced, and there must be no partiality. Our son is tall and must have a high level of intelligence."

Zeng Cheng sighed and said: "Oh, this child can't say anything else except calling mother and asking for food. I have also seen it with the doctor, and they said that we can't make a conclusion yet. We have to wait and see again in a few years."

Do you know if..."

In the end, the word "idiot" could not be uttered, but Zeng Cheng's eyes were already filled with tears again.

Liu Ziguang looked up to the sky and sighed, no way. Is God really so ruthless? He gave himself glory and wealth, but took it back from the next generation. The eldest son's intelligence level is obviously lagging behind. He doesn't know what will happen to his other children, no matter what.

, this child is his own flesh and blood, even a fool must take good care of him.

After a night of silence, Liu Ziguang changed his clothes and entered the court the next morning. Sure enough, the emperor issued an imperial edict and named himself the Duke of Zhenguo. This was the total reward for his pacification of the Manchu and Xixia Dynasties, and it was also the final reward, because the Ming Dynasty did not have the tradition of naming kings of the opposite sex.

, the Duke is already the top title, and except for the group of generals who followed Taizu during the founding of the People's Republic of China and the generals during the Jingnan period who granted several Dukes, the court has not had a new Duke for hundreds of years. Liu Ziguang pacified

Sihai, I am also an old minister of Conglong, so this honor is expected by everyone.

After the edict was issued, all the ministers in the Fengtian Palace congratulated the newly-elected Duke. However, Liu Ziguang was depressed because his son might be a fool. He did not show the joy that the new Duke should have, and just responded indifferently.

This made Zhu Youxiao feel a little unhappy. Isn't he still satisfied with being granted the title of Duke?

At the same time, generals at all levels were also awarded. Zhu Youxiao did a good job in this regard. Every meritorious official was given a large reward. Officials, titles, titles, and orders were given out for free. Yuan Chonghuan, Xu Zengshou, Li Yan, Wang Fuchen, Zhou Peigong

, Zu Dashou, Man Gui, Zhao Zhangcheng, etc. all have different rewards.

The small puppet court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty ended its historical mission. Emperor Gongrong was forced to issue an edict to abdicate and was granted the title of Marquis by Zhu Youxiao. Northern Zhili was officially renamed Hebei Province. The Manchu Qing court outside the Pass was on the verge of collapse, and Xixia

Likewise, he revoked his title of emperor and was demoted to the Khan of Manchuria. His country retreated to the Changbai Mountain area, pitifully like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Mongolia was already completely dominated by Zhamuhe, and half of Goryeo was also under the control of Jin Caocheng.

among.

The threats from all directions of the Ming Dynasty have since been eliminated, peace has prevailed, and the world has no worries. Emperor Tianqi has only been in charge for five years, and he has achieved such hegemony. He deserves to be called the Apocalypse ZTE. When Zhu Youxiao took advantage of the power of the civil and military officials to fight

When the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty proposed that they should consecrate the Zen to Mount Tai this autumn, there was a loud voice of approval, and Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but feel happy.

After the dynasty was dismissed, Zhu Youxiao returned to the harem happily. Wei Zhongxian smiled and leaned over to flatter him before saying: "Your Majesty, now that the Duke of Zhenguo has returned, he is a thief. Do you think this slave can kill him?"

Has the daily special supply of milk to the eldest princess been suspended?"

When Liu Ziguang was mentioned, Zhu Youxiao's excited face darkened and he said: "Stop supplying hastily will arouse suspicion. The milk will still be supplied, but don't add Sanlu powder in it. Only we, the emperor and the ministers, know about this."

You must not let anyone else know about it, do you understand?"
