7-9 Finale

No matter how hard the emperor tries, the resistance from the people will not be too great. First of all, the scholar class has been exhausted by the anti-corruption campaign and has no energy to do anything. Although the civil and military officials are puzzled, most of them are

The newcomers who started their careers with Yuan Feng had little to do with the Han Dynasty twenty-five years ago. Let alone Yuan Feng changing his surname to Zhu, they would agree to change it to a foreign name and would not object.

As for the ordinary people, it is easier to deal with it. Just make up some stories that they can accept. The new emperor is exempt from taxes, drives out the Tatars, rectifies the government, and loves the people like a son. It is too late for them to support them, so how can they make unreasonable opinions?

Matters in the court.

Of course, it is not excluded that some idle and sour scholars chatted about this matter in teahouses and restaurants. Today’s imperial court is not the old Zhou Dynasty that strictly prohibited discussion of government affairs and guarded the people more than the Sichuan. Not only did they not wear casual clothes

There were spies among the tea guests, and there were not even small notes asking Mo to discuss state affairs.

The sour men discussed that although the emperor was the crown prince of the previous dynasty, he started from scratch and did not rely on any resources of the previous emperor. He almost single-handedly conquered the great Zhou Dynasty. He can be regarded as the founding hero of the country and it is not a bad idea to create a new dynasty.

No.

Some people also mysteriously said that in fact, the emperor was not the orphan of Emperor Wu's grandfather at all, but was just trying to make a tiger skin. Otherwise, how could he accept the former Queen of the Southern Han Dynasty Xia Qinxin as his concubine, but this was not the case.

What, don't care whether he is a fake prince or a real civet cat, he is the real thing who conquers the world anyway.

Regardless of support or opposition, Yuan Feng, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was firmly established. After discussion among the ministers, the reign name was determined to be Hongwu. In July of this year, the emperor officially ascended the throne in Nanjing.

On the day of his accession to the throne, a grand prisoner presentation and military parade ceremony was held in the newly renovated Taimiao Square. This time, the genuine Mongolian Khan was escorted to the Taimiao. Fifty thousand soldiers who had experienced countless wars passed through the square in a majestic manner.

The earthquake shocked the envoys from various countries who came to watch the ceremony and pay their respects.

Mongolia surrendered, Korea surrendered, Japan surrendered, Annan, Siam, Ryukyu, Java and other small Southeast Asian states all paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and sent princes and ministers to the capital permanently. The Ming Dynasty seemed to have become a celestial kingdom.

The only empire that could keep pace with the Ming Dynasty was the Chagatai Empire that spanned Europe and Asia, inherited the legacy of Timur's empire, and had its capital at Alam Khan. Their great khan was the sworn brother of Yuan Feng, and the fifth king among the Thirteen Taibao.

Key, but now it has been renamed the Black Fire One.

The remaining forces of Timur, led by Prince Miran Shah, went south to the Indian subcontinent and established the Mughal Dynasty, which was also a dominant empire.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Chu Jian also sent envoys to present precious and heavy gifts, and became allies with the Ming Dynasty. They have been friendly for generations and will never conquer. The Mughal Empire is too far away because of the thousands of miles of mountains and mountains, and I am afraid that when the news is received

It will be next year, so there is no announcement yet.

The emperor has already taken in two concubines, the eldest princess of Xixia, Li Mingxue, and the Qiang king, Hermione. The emperor has made proper arrangements for these two political marriages. Li Mingxue's son will be crowned the king of Ningxia and vassal Yinchuan to guard the northwest. Hermione

His son will inherit the throne of Qiang King, and in a few years, these two foreign lands will become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Uszang, after its defeat, it completely surrendered. Yuan was honored as Manjushri Bodhisattva, and every household had to hang a statue of the emperor. Uszang King Cup was deposed, and the living Buddha in the Potala Palace commanded the whole Tibet. The method of selecting reincarnated soul boys was adopted.

The successor must go through the drawing of lots from the golden urn presided over by the Ming Dynasty court in order to obtain legal status.

The world was at peace, all nations surrendered, the city of Nanjing was filled with flowers, and people wearing exotic costumes abounded. The people of the Ming Dynasty deeply felt the pride of the people of the heaven, and this grand prisoner presentation, military parade, and enthronement ceremony made them even more excited.

I felt very excited and felt a sense of national pride.

At the same time, the imperial court also granted amnesty to the whole country. In addition to corrupt officials and serious criminals, ordinary criminals who had committed petty crimes, fought, committed adultery, cheated and abducted were all allowed to go home. Countless families were reunited and were grateful to the emperor.

The emperor also opened Enke, and the number of students admitted increased by 30%, and the path for scholars to advance to the higher education was broadened. Why not thank the emperor for his great kindness?



On the viewing platform of the ceremony, there was a group of special guests. These people were all wearing brand-new sheepskin coats and had red faces. They were from the northwest. Among them were Zhao Ding'an's father, the blacksmith Zhao Lao, and Wang Xiaoga's.

Grandma, Lin Lianjiang's father Lin Xiucai, Zhang Tietou's mother, Chu Mujie and his wife, in short, all the folks from Shibalibao all came over from Xiliang.

Under the viewing platform, on duty were Emperor Hongwu's Imperial Guards. This Imperial Guard was not selected from the Forbidden Army, nor were they descendants of officials, but were all Roman infantrymen who had moved from Liqian.

Brass armor, bright red feathers, giant shields and javelins, tall bodies, resolute eyes, and exotic faces, with such a guard from a foreign land, you no longer have to worry about loyalty and betrayal.

The young Roman officer Antony, the commander of the Royal Guards, looked at the emperor on the auditorium with admiration. That young man was not a few years older than himself. In just a few years, he dominated the entire Central Plains. This achievement is worthy of the respect of any man.

Seeing the blond woman next to the emperor again, Anthony felt relieved. His sister finally found her home and became the emperor's concubine. She no longer had to follow the tradition of the Liqian people to be a singer. And men like them, who licked blood with their knife heads, also

He no longer has to be a mercenary, but has become a full-time emperor's guard, with majesty and good treatment. At this moment, besides being grateful and excited, what else can he say.

Log in to Let's Read Literature website and support the genuine Wulin Empire.

The villagers have been immersed in excitement since they arrived in the capital. Originally, Yuan Feng became the king in Xiliang, and they were a little confused about their happiness. Now that he has become the emperor of the Central Plains, everyone is even more fascinated.

"This is the capital. If you come here once in your life, you can die in peace." Lin Xiucai said with emotion.

"Why are you dying? Now that Brother Feng has become the emperor, we will live in the capital and not leave. It is better to go to the south of the Yangtze River than to Lao Shizi Alam Khan. That unfilial son of Chu Jian has sent people to pick me up several times. I

I’m not even going.” Chu Muzu still had a lot of experience and was very calm.

"You still call me Brother Feng. This baby is now a Long Live Lord. We have to kneel down and worship him when we see him. Tsk tsk. In fact, I have already seen it. This boy has not been a mortal since he was a child. He can kill big horse thieves at the age of fifteen. His hands are all

If you don't tremble, how can you be an ordinary person? The real dragon and the emperor descended to the mortal world!" Blacksmith Zhao clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Brother Zhao, you are so knowledgeable, tell me what the emperor eats and does on a daily basis?"

"You still can't think of it? It must be Dun Dun oil steamed buns. Your Majesty always uses gold kitchen knives and silver fences when cooking."



"Oh, it's a pity that Hu Laizi died early and can no longer see these things, and that girl, the dumb girl, was originally destined to be a queen..."

I don't know which fellow countryman said this sentence, but the wind blew it into Yuan Feng's ears, and he thought, yes, the mute aunt doesn't know how she is doing now.

A long time ago, I asked the Military Commander to take care of the mute aunt and his wife. As things happened, I gradually forgot about it. Later, when the Jiangnan war broke out, the Military Commander was busy with affairs, and then it was disbanded. No one has taken care of this matter anymore. I think it has been two years.

There is no news about the mute aunt.



After ascending the throne, the emperor officially accepted Xia Qinxin, Cao Xiu, and Yulia as his concubines. Only Liu Ying'er still refused to marry into the palace, and Yuan Feng did not force her. Anyway, everyone in the world knew that Liu Ying'er was the emperor's supernumerary.

Concubine, no matter how hard she flies, she will never be able to fly out of Wuzhishan.

After the ceremony was completed, Xia Qin, who could no longer hide it and had achieved her wish, told Yuan Feng hesitantly that the person in Yuetang Village, Yangzhou Prefecture that night was not actually herself.

Yuan Feng was struck by lightning and was speechless for a long time, but he finally did not blame Xia Qinxin.



In Yuetang Village, Yangzhou Prefecture, in the north of the Yangtze River, the weather in August is scorching hot. A woman is sweating profusely while hoeing weeds in the field. Under the shade of a tree beside the field edge, a baby less than two years old is nestled in a cradle.

I'm learning to talk, a big yellow dog is lying on the side with its tongue hanging out to enjoy the coolness, and the cicadas on the tree are chirping non-stop. It's really unbearably hot today.

After a while, three children of different heights ran over from a distance. The two older ones were carrying schoolbags sewn with calico fabrics, and the youngest was only four or five years old and still had his buttocks bare.

The three children rushed to the edge of the field. The older two called Auntie, and the younger one called Mother with a sweet voice. They called the woman working in the field to eat. The woman wiped her sweat and came to the shade of the tree.

I took out the coarse grains and ate them with pickles and water. The yellow dog shook its head and tail and waited eagerly, but no one was full, and there was no extra food to feed it.

"Auntie." The eldest girl hesitated and hesitated to speak. The woman tore open her portion of the thick flour pancake and distributed it to the two smaller boys. Then she asked: "Da Ya, what's the matter?"

"My husband said... we don't have to go to school after this month. Our family only contributes one share of the money, but we send two children to school. My husband said this is inappropriate."

The woman bit her lip and said after a long time: "Auntie knows, we will think of a solution after your uncle comes back from Wang Yuan's wife's house."

The girl added: "My husband also said that girls are losers and useless in school...it's better...it's better to get married early."

As she said that, the girl's eye circles turned red: "Aunt, I won't go to school anymore. I'll go home and help you work."

The woman sighed: "What are you talking about, silly boy? How can you do it if you don't study?"

Just at this time, the little baby in the cradle started crying. The woman quickly picked him up, rocked him, and coaxed him: "Biao'er, don't cry."

The family was eating when they suddenly saw a local security guard running towards them. He shouted from afar: "Wang Huaizhong's family, come back to the village quickly, something big is going on!"

The woman was startled, and the pancake in her hand almost fell to the ground. She said in a trembling voice, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Huaizhong?"

The local security guard ran up to him and said out of breath: "No...it's...someone from the county government who wants...to see you."

The woman was even more surprised: "What does the county master want to do with me, a woman?"

"I don't know, go back quickly."

The woman quickly tied the child on her back and hurried home with the other three children. The big yellow dog followed closely. The family passed through the small pond and willow forest. In front of them was Yuetang Village. The entrance to the village was already full of people.

Eight-carriage sedans and hundreds of mules and horses, yamen-fed men in red official uniforms and white-soled black boots were standing everywhere, and villagers came out from every household, holding children, carrying rice bowls, and leaning against each other.

Watching Wang Huaizhong's house at the door.

This woman was a migrant. Although she was beautiful, she was disabled and mute. Later, she married Wang Huaizhong, a barefoot doctor. Wang Huaizhong was also an inhumane handicap. The couple lived together and adopted the three sons of her brother-in-law who died young. The youngest

One of his adopted sons became his own son. He thought he would live peacefully like this, but unexpectedly a miracle happened. The mute woman could speak and gave birth to a baby with a handle for Wang Luozi.

There was a lot of discussion in the village, saying that the baby was not Wang Luozi's son. Wang Luozi had obviously been kicked and injured by the son of the big family, so how could he give birth to a son? However, this mute woman was kind-hearted and warm-hearted, so the villagers only said it privately.

He said it without making fun of it in public.

The small courtyard of the Wang family is more dilapidated than before. Because of borrowing money to help Yuan Feng buy medicine and supplements, he incurred a debt of ten taels of silver, which has been compounded with interest and has not been repaid until now. However, Nan Zhi, standing in the courtyard at this moment,

However, all the officials in Yangzhou Prefecture and County did not dare to show off at all. They all lowered their hands and stood respectfully.

The dumb aunt carried the child on her back to the gate of the courtyard. When she saw the red and purple colors all over the courtyard, her eyes were a little confused. Before he could react, dozens of high-ranking officials in red robes and black gauze all lifted their robes and knelt down, shouting.

Chitose.

Aunt Mute stood at the door, only to see a familiar figure walking out of her thatched house, came to her and said: "Aunt Mute, I will take you home."

The mute aunt's eyes filled with tears. She had been waiting for this sentence for thirteen years.

Fengyang County, Chuzhou, Anhui, China

Reception room of Chengguan Town Police Station.

A tired-looking man with long hair sat on a chair, his hair had faint signs of burnt marks, and there were a few unobvious scars on his face. His expression was a little melancholy, and his eyes were a little sluggish, as if he was thinking about something or missing something.

"Zhu Xiaoqiang, your temporary ID card is ready." The emotionless voice of the household registration officer from the police station sounded behind the window.

The long-haired man stood up and walked towards the window. On the antique black satin boots under his jeans, a flying dragon embroidered with gold thread was looming.
