Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth brilliance
On the broad official road on the outskirts of Beijing, the emperor's ceremonial carriages were in neat order, the battle arrays were bright, the flags were flying, and the drums and music were singing. On the jade chariot that the emperor and empress were riding, Kaiping King Chang Yuchun was performing a grand ceremony and paying homage.
"Hahaha, what is the relationship between you and me, Boren? We are brothers and sisters of life and death. Don't stick to etiquette. Get up quickly."
Empress Ma answered: "We just met a few days ago, why are you acting like this again?"
Chang Yuchun stood up and said with a smile: "The superior and the empress are tolerant, but the etiquette must not be discarded. I am no longer the rogue bandit I used to be. I should be more careful."
"There's no need to be private in front of others. You all can go down."
The people waiting in the jade carriage withdrew one by one, including the Marquis of Guide, Chen Li, and the Marquis of Guiyi, Mingsheng, who was waiting on the chariot. Chen Li withdrew with a dull look on his face and stiff steps. Mingsheng smiled shyly and said respectfully.
He bowed before exiting.
Chang Yuchun glanced at Mingsheng one more time, and Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked, "Isn't it a bit similar?"
Chang Yuchun shook his head without hesitation and said: "It's specious, but it's far from true. How can a dog be as good as a dragon?"
Empress Ma sighed and said, "It's not easy for this child either. He just wants to be nice and please in order to survive."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "What's wrong with learning? I have to imitate our son. He will imitate others and make people hate him."
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at him helplessly. If she hated him so much, why did she have to take the child with her every day? If he had shown his dislike, he would have changed his mind long ago.

What's more, these are just similar actions. If it were really the same as Biao'er, Ming Sheng would have died of illness long ago. There are certain qualities in his son that he would only be happy about, but if others had them, he would just want to get rid of them.
After the greetings, Chang Yuchun quickly went through the important military and political affairs during this period, focusing on the Beijing camp. Lao Zhu dared to order his son to cultivate his body and ignore government affairs. Naturally, he arranged several other hands to correct the chaos at any time.
Chang Yuchun was the most important and safest person. With Chang Shiwan's prestige, he mastered and cleared several hills inside the Beijing camp as quickly as possible, ensuring that the Beijing camp could be ordered to announce at any time.
As for the government affairs of the Six Departments of Zhongshu, Chang Yuchun didn't know much about it. He just briefly talked about some things that he thought were sensitive. In the end, it all depends on what the superiors think.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat lazily and stretched out his hand to scratch the short black beard on his chin a few times. His eyes moved quickly, obviously extracting the essence from Chang Yuchun's extremely confusing narration.
Although there are secret reports from the pro-military captain's house, their status in the court is completely different from that of King Kaiping. Although there is a lot of information available, it may not be very accurate.
Empress Ma personally stood up and poured a cup of tea for Chang Yuchun. Chang Shiwan, who was invincible and invincible, bowed and took it with fear: "Your Majesty, you have broken a humble minister."
"We don't talk to each other, but we have met two children? I was very worried about leaving Beijing, and urged the Holy Father to come back as soon as possible."
"I've seen it before. The power of family ties between flesh and blood, I only really feel it when I reach this age. I really miss it all the time."
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and joked: "Don't worry about our grandson. You should still count on your son. Didn't I hear that that boy Chang Mao has fallen in love with the eldest girl of Feng Sheng's family?"
Chang Yuchun explained in a low voice with a headache: "This is all my mother-in-law's idea. Wei Chen doesn't think it's appropriate."
"Hey, there's nothing inappropriate. They're a perfect match for each other. Biao'er also mentioned this in his last letter. We've already chosen a date to get married."
After Chang Yuchun hesitated for a moment, he did not choose to continue to refuse. Sometimes being too cautious proved to be evil in his heart. He asked himself that he had no objections, but there was no need to feel too guilty. After all, it was just a matter of marriage between a man and a woman.
"Then I will thank you for the dog."

Following the jade chariot were the senior generals and eunuchs of the Forbidden Army. Surrounding these escorting officials were multiple groups of cavalry and infantry of the Forbidden Army. Each group had a different number of Imperial Guards and was led by a general.
This was followed by the drumbeating band at the rear. The band's instruments were similar to those in front of the jade chariot, but the scale was relatively small, with hundreds of people.
After that, the right-wing guards turned around and charged at the captain, each leading hundreds of soldiers. They were divided into four horizontal rows, holding halberds, swords and shields, bows and arrows and crossbows respectively. They followed the leopard-tailed chariot as a cover. Each chariot was manned by horses.
Towing, and accompanied by varying numbers of charioteers...
Chen Li and Ming Sheng retreated to the team of accompanying officials. The Holy Emperor asked them to leave. Although he did not order them to go back, they were marquises after all and did not need to wait outside for the slaves. There was still a certain degree of restraint.
of freedom and autonomy.
Chen Li suddenly turned around, and Ming Sheng frowned slightly, but did not give in at all. He just watched his actions with a dull and slightly disgusted look.
"Is it fun to imitate the prince? You have lived up to your father Ming Yuzhen's reputation by wearing colorful clothes and entertaining relatives."
"Step aside."
Chen Li went a step further and cursed Ming Sheng in a low voice with his body close to his body. Why can't I just be a decoration like him? Why do I have to flatter and favor me? What should I do if you ask me to do this?
Mingsheng pushed Chen Li away: "Brother Chen, my father is dead but my mother is still here. I have to live a decent life for her. If you really don't care, just go and die. Why bother dragging my little brother with you?"
Woolen cloth?"
The two of them have disliked each other for a long time. The officials and attendants passing by did not even look at them. What a marquis, it is better to say that they are monkeys. It is not easy to be a human being.
Chen Li gritted his teeth and was furious. He originally thought that he and Ming Sheng were in the same boat. We all once said that we were lonely and widowed, and then were destroyed by Zhu Ming. The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. The humiliation was profound, so we should comfort each other's sorrows.
But during this period of contact, the more I felt that the two of them were completely opposite in nature. It was more resentment than envy, but more resentment and dissatisfaction with myself.
After the two of them separated and returned to their exclusive cars, the smile on Ming Sheng's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes changed from bright and lively to dull and lifeless. No one can have any regrets, but life must go on.

"I didn't tell you to keep an eye on them. Why are they here again? What should I do if they disturb the Holy Master!"
An official quickly replied in a low voice: "We are all under control now, and we will never disturb the Emperor and the Empress."
Tu Jie gave him a sharp look: "We didn't find out about the arrest until we arrived in front of the palace gate. Who do you think you can hide from?"
Tu Jie then sighed: "I have to report to His Highness the Crown Prince. This matter cannot be suppressed."
Shang Honghai, who was also in charge of the personal army and the commander of the Duwei Mansion, walked quickly to Zhu Biao and whispered a few words, then bowed and stood waiting for orders.
Zhu Biao waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and his eyes naturally fell on Hu Weiyong. As the absolute center, every move of the prince was carefully observed, and the scene suddenly became much quieter.
Tu Jie walked quickly to Hu Weiyong, and then led him to Zhu Biao: "I am guilty, please punish me."
"Why was this matter not reported to this palace? Liyang is considered to be at the foot of the emperor, but there was an incident where people wrote in blood. How unworthy is it! What are the officials in the six departments of Zhongshu doing?"
The ministers are guilty, but please calm down your anger and put the dignity of the country first."
Zhongshu Sheng and the Dali Temple officials of the Ministry of Punishment who knew about this all knelt down. Zhu Biao waved his sleeves and shouted coldly: "Get up! On the day the emperor and empress return to the capital, I will not care about you. The Minister of Punishment, Dali Temple Young Master
Sir, return to the city immediately to verify the authenticity of the blood letter and interrogate the grievances."
"promise."
Just now, Huang Lu, a scholar from Liyang County, rushed to the gate of the palace with blood letters from the common people and complained about injustice. He claimed that Li Gao, the magistrate of Liyang County, and Pan Fu, the government official, had colluded with each other, extorted money, killed people, set fires, raped and looted, and committed all kinds of evil...
It's nothing if such a situation occurs in a remote place. This is also the reason why the imperial court vigorously purges officials. However, Liyang County is a county directly under the capital. If such a thing happens, no one can explain it to the emperor. Zhu Biao, the prince who supervises the country, can't explain it to the emperor.
There is no luster on the face either.
