Tan Wei'er couldn't help but smile to herself and thought: Could it be that the late emperor was not a good emperor, so why don't you just stop mourning him? After all, our family is from Fengyang. If the late emperor hadn't been born, everyone would not have had a good life.
However, Sun Shao was not looking at her at this time, so he did not see the smile.
Then Wang walked in and saw Sun Shao and his daughter-in-law alone, and said, "My father, why are you alone with your daughter-in-law?"
Sun Shao said: "Oh, I asked about something." Then he planned to walk away.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Wang walked towards the door and asked, "Who is it?"
A gentle male voice sounded outside the door and said: "It's my sister-in-law, I'm Sun Heng!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she knew it was her husband's cousin Sun Heng. Sun Heng's father, Sun Yan, crossed the river from Zhu Yuanzhang and accumulated meritorious service to Yanshan Zhongwei Qianhu. Then he retired due to many injuries.
Now Sun Heng is also serving as the central defender of Yanshan.
Mrs. Wang opened the door and Sun Heng walked in and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. Is my eldest brother here?"
Sun Shao came out and said, "What's the matter with Hengdi?"
Sun Heng said: "Brother, the late emperor has passed away. My father wants to gather those of us from Fengyang together to mourn the late emperor."
Sun Shao said: "Sure, but my son Rui'er is still in the army, so it's hard to ask for leave."
Sun Heng said: "It's okay, Qiu Fu is also a fellow from Fengyang, so just ask him to ask for leave."
Sun Shao said: "That's no problem. When?"
Sun Heng said: "It will start at You hour tonight."
Sun Shao said: "I understand."
Sun Heng said, "Brother, I'll leave first. I have to tell other people." After saying that, he turned and left.
In Kunming, Yunnan, after listening to the imperial edict, Zhu Zhen immediately fell to his knees and said in tears: "Father!"
His concubine Yang said: "Your Highness, it's better to prepare to return to Beijing quickly."
Zhu Ming wiped his tears and said, "Yes, I will go back to Beijing immediately!"
Mu Chun, who listened to the imperial edict with Zhu Zhen, said: "I want to go to the capital together too!"
Zhu Ming said: "No! Dao Ganmeng is still rebelling, and the Luchuan Xuanwei Envoy has not yet been pacified, so someone needs to guard it."
Because there is a rebellion in Yunnan and the scale is quite large, Zhu Chun and Muchun must stay alone to guard it. Zhu Chun's biological father died, so it is inappropriate for him to stay behind, so Muchun can only be left in Yunnan.
Muchun also knew about this and said sadly: "Then I will stay behind."
Zhu Ming said a few words to Muchun again, and took his concubine Yang back to the harem to prepare for the capital.
The news reached Lin'an Prefecture's Jiuhua Sandu Division, and Long Zhehei ordered: "Let's follow the rules of the Han people and wear filial piety. It doesn't take much trouble anyway."
Long Shangdeng said: "Yes, Dad."
Long Ping'er on the side said: "Although the emperor of Ming Dynasty almost killed us, we don't blame him. We should mourn him."
Then the people below went down to prepare white things. The three of them didn't pay much attention to this matter, and it passed. If Mu Chun died, they might be really sad.
They had more important things to think about. Long Zhehei said to Long Ping'er: "Ping'er, you're not young anymore. It's time to find a husband. What kind of husband do you want? Is it someone from our local department or someone from our local department?"
Other toast people?”
"Dad doesn't need you to get married or anything, you can make your own choice."
Long Ping'er was not as shy as the Han women, and said generously: "Among our chieftains, there is no one who is about the same age as me. How can anyone be as good as my eldest brother! There is no one I can like."
Long Shangdeng said: "What about the other chieftains?"
Long Ping'er said: "I have been to other toasts several times, but there is no one I like."
Long Shangdeng said: "Isn't the Annan chieftain family quite capable?"
Long Ping'er was silent.
Dragon Zhehei said: "I understand, since you went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, you have always wanted to find a Han Chinese man with both civil and military skills. But what use is that to us?"
Long Ping'er said: "The Han Chinese doctors sent to the chieftains are not very effective. Dad, don't you send a few children to Kunming to learn Chinese and Chinese characters?"
Long Shangdeng asked her to stop, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He glared at her fiercely and said, "Anyway, you are not allowed to marry a Han!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Dragon Master Hei said, "Dad, the chieftain of Zuonengzhai sent someone here yesterday. Do you want to meet him today?"
Long Shangdeng knew that Long Zhehei was changing the topic, and he didn't want the atmosphere to be too tense, so he said, "Then let's meet."
Long Zhehei immediately winked at Long Ping'er, and Long Ping'er also hurriedly exited.
In the East China Sea, Li Jiqian looked at the Ming Dynasty ships that were chasing after them. He spat into the sea and said, "These Zhu Ming bastards are chasing so damn hard. We're afraid we won't be able to reach Ryukyu and will die here."
."
He turned to Li Shaer and said, "Are you afraid that we are going to die here?"
Li Shaer said: "Brother, I'm not afraid!"
Li Jiqian smiled and said: "As expected of our Li family, we are just not afraid of death."
At this moment, someone suddenly called out: "Brother Li! Why did Zhu Ming's boat slow down?"
Li Jiqian turned back and looked at the big ship in front of him. After observing it carefully for a while, he found that it had indeed slowed down.
And he also noticed that there was a Chinese material ship traveling side by side with a large command ship in the middle of the Ming Dynasty fleet, and it seemed that someone was waving flags and signaling, but they were too far away to see clearly.
After a while, the fleet of ships not only slowed down, but also turned, as if they were about to return.
Li Jiqian and a tall, strong, dark-skinned man named Hua Xiong beside him said: "Hua Xiong, what's going on with Zhu Ming? What happened and suddenly stopped chasing him?"
Hua Xiong said: "How do I know?"
At this time, Li Jiqian noticed that they seemed to be hanging something on the boat. After a while, the white funeral cloth was hung up.
Li Jiqian pointed to the ship and said: "I know, I know! It's Zhu Yuanzhang who is dead! Only if Zhu Yuanzhang is dead will they return and put up white sails!"
"Haha! Zhu Yuanzhang, you are finally dead, haha!"
Li Shaer looked at her giggling elder brother and said to the crew on the boat: "Let's quickly sail to Da Liuqiu and don't stay here. Everyone has to find a place to rest while floating on the sea these days."
As Li Jiqian's younger sister, Li Sha'er was beautiful and unmarried. Everyone on the ship who thought they were capable wanted to marry Li Sha'er.
Now what she said was reasonable, and Li Jiqian was not normal. Everyone hurriedly followed Li Sha'er's words and started sailing.
Ban Liming, the commander of the Jinshan Guards of the Ming Dynasty, said to Zhang Xiaodong, the commander of the Jinshan Guards: "Commander, are you going to let them go like this?"
He was promoted as a commander by fighting pirates a few years ago, so he extremely hoped that he could annihilate this group of pirates and achieve great success again.
Zhang Xiaodong said: "Although we will certainly be able to catch up with this group of pirates before reaching Ryukyu, there will definitely be casualties. Now is the time when Emperor Daxing dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, so it is better to do less than to do more."
Ban Liming did not dare to argue with Zhang Xiaodong, so he could only stop talking and return to his cabin to resent.
In Kaiyuan City, Liaodong, they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had passed away, but they could not pardon the exiles who returned home. There was a lot of curses!
Although they did not dare to scold publicly, there were endless scoldings in private, and the soldiers of the Thirty Thousand Guards did not care.
Chang An scolded: "You bastard, this emperor can even save a murderer's life, but he doesn't allow us to go home with amnesty. What a bastard."
Zhao Xing hurriedly covered his mouth and said: "You don't want your life. Others are scolding officials. You scold the emperor. Show that you recognize His Majesty!"
Chang An said: "It just shows that I recognize the emperor."
After saying that, he cried again: "We can never go back in this life. My old father!"
Zhao Xing also shed tears when he heard this, and said: "Your father is a hero of the Chang family after all. The Chang family cannot ignore it. My father is not good enough. He is just an ordinary servant. How can he live his life!"
Hearing the sadness of his crying, Chang An gradually stopped crying, and in turn advised Zhao Xing: "Stop crying, just wait until the King of Han comes to Kaiyuan to expand the three guards."
There are also people in Shandong who are cursing people, but they are cursing Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the innermost room of a large village outside Gaotangzhou, Shandong, several people were gathering together to drink wine.
Wang Jingangnu, who narrowly escaped from Sanqin, drank heavily and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang, a traitor to the Ming sect, is finally dead. He should have died long ago."
Chen Ershe also laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha! The great enemy of my Ming Cult is finally dead. He was killed by the God of Light."
"Brothers who died in Sanqin, you can finally rest in peace."
The landlord here, the highest altar leader of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, Peng Yingyu's son, Peng Ju, who is nearly fifty years old, said: "Although it is a happy thing, we must also pay attention to Zhu Ming's dog's nose."
Before Peng Yingyu followed Xu Shouhui to join the army, she left a way out for herself and gave her son to a man named Gao who did not participate in the rebellion.
This man later moved to Shandong and stayed in Binzhou. Before his death, the position of altar leader of Shandong White Lotus Sect was handed over to him.
After Wang Jingangnu came to Shandong, Peng Ju, as the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, accepted him and hid him in his own village.
After they learned the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, they immediately found wine and started celebrating.
They didn't know how long they drank, but in the end Wang Jingangnu and Chen Ershe, the two people who escaped from Sanqin, were both drunk.
But if you look at Peng Ju again, are you half drunk? He ordered: "Come in and clean up."
At this time, his son Peng Qi came in and said: "Dad, why don't we take advantage of this moment to rebel and let the two of them be of some use?"
Peng Ju said: "Don't be in a hurry. You should make a decision before taking any action. Let's wait and see the general trend of the world."
