Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Time always goes by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, before you know it, it's the season of peach red pear white again.

On this day, Zhao Guogong's mansion started to be busy very early. The maids and servants who came and went were wiping and cleaning the house with smiling faces, and the stewards were also anxiously running around to direct.

"Xiao Ding, the flowers and plants in the yard must be pruned today. After pruning, remember to sprinkle it with clean water again to ensure that there is no dust on each leaf, understand?"

A steward gave instructions to the gardener, and the gardener nodded yes.

The steward was going to say a few more words, but he didn't think about it. In a blink of an eye, he saw someone coming out with a lantern, which made the steward suddenly lose his attention to the gardener.

"Hey hey hey, who told you to come out with this pair of lanterns? The couple don't like it, and it's not festive enough. Go and get out the newly made pair of gold-painted and red lanterns. Broken the mood of the masters, carefully look at the skin on your body."

The servant holding the lantern said with a bitter face, "But sister Cailian from the inner house asked me to take it."

"What does she know? Listen to me and change it quickly. After a while I said to her, by the way, there are still some revolving lanterns in the warehouse, and they are all taken out and hung under the veranda. They are the ones sent by the fourth aunt's house. They are four My aunt specially asked someone to make it, and it has the merits of our uncle on it, and the uncle will be happy when he sees it." The steward said angrily and anxiously.

The servant didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly went to change the lantern after responding.

In the back house, in Zhen Wu's yard, Zhu Yuying was also busy tidying up her makeup, and while tidying up, she asked, "Shuang'er, has anyone come to remind you from the old lady's side, and what's the matter with the young master? Let someone tell him that if it is because he misses the time for the army to enter the city, I will ensure that he will have a very difficult life this year."

"The old lady hasn't been reminded yet." Shuang'er continued: "The young master has been urged by Xueer. The young master is sensible and can't miss the time."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuying nodded reassuringly, but at the same time, her hands moved a little faster.

At this time, March has already been packed, and today the whole family will go to the city gate to watch his father bring the army into the city. How dare he delay the time, let alone his mother was looking forward to it every day a month ago. If he missed the hour, his good-natured grandmother would not spare him.

At this moment, he was squinting at Xue'er, and he couldn't help but groaned twice: "My mother asked you to rush me?"

Seeing that Sanyue had been sitting and waiting for some time, Xue'er was a little embarrassed and speechless.

March pouted.

Urge him?

He is considered filial and sensible for not urging his mother.

He still doesn't know his mother? !

"I just want to ask you, how much work does my mother have to finish?" Sanyue was too lazy to talk to Xue'er.

Xue'er smiled shyly and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, Madam will be fine soon."

"Okay, it's almost time, then I'll wait for them in the front yard and see if the carriage is ready." After speaking, Sanyue got up and walked outside.

He was walking in the yard, looking at the busy people in the house, thinking that he would soon see his father leading an army into the city, his heart became hot, his eyes were bright, and he wished he could set off for the city gate immediately.

After a while.

Zhu Yuying and Zhang Yuqing also packed up, and they came out surrounded by maids of all ages. San Yue went up to meet Li, then accompanied their mother and grandmother into the carriage, and headed for the city gate.

At the gate of the city, a lot of people were already bustling together, and these people were all relatives who came to wait for them to return home from the battle.

Zhu Yuying and the others bypassed the people and climbed up the tower from the side of the tower.

There are already some family members of generals waiting on the tower.

The fourth and fifth younger sisters had arrived long ago, and had been sending people to watch over here. When they saw Zhu Yuying and Zhang Yuqing approaching, they immediately got up to greet them, and greeted them from afar, "Mother, sister-in-law."

Zhang Yuqing smiled and said, "How long have you two been here? I see that there are so many people here, we are probably too late."

"It's not too late, we just arrived." Fourth Sister laughed.

This made Zhu Yuying a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, she definitely didn't wake up later than anyone else, or even earlier, but every time she thought that she hadn't seen Zhen Wu for almost a year, she always thought of dressing up as the most beautiful for Zhen Wu to see, so she couldn't help dressing and choosing jewelry. Comparing and comparing, trying and trying, this led to a late arrival.

But these words must not be said.

Therefore, Zhu Yuying glared at Sanyue unhappily, and then smiled and said to the fourth and fifth younger sisters: "If it weren't for Sanyue's mischievous delay, we would have arrived a little earlier, and we wouldn't be in such a hurry , Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister came early, I don’t know what’s going on now? Is the army coming soon?”

When March heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Fifth Sister tapped Sanyue's forehead: "You little thing, make your sister-in-law angry by being naughty in the morning." After finishing speaking, she smiled and turned to Zhu Yuying and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the army still has a while, let's go first Go to the attic to rest, and when the army approaches, someone will report."

Zhu Yuying nodded.

At this time, some other family members of the generals also came over. There must be seven or eight families in total. Those female family members all had smiling faces. They first bowed down to meet Zhang Yuqing and Zhu Yuying, and then got up to join the chat middle.

I don't know how long it took.

Finally, some soldiers came to report that the army was less than five miles away from the city gate. A group of absent-minded female relatives stopped chatting immediately, and then hurriedly came to the corridor on the second floor of the attic, facing the city from a distance. look ahead.

There is a dense blackness in front of it, and it is as long as a long dragon.

Gradually.

The army got closer and closer, when the figure in the front could be seen clearly, Sanyue couldn't help jumping and shouting: "Mother, grandma, look quickly, that's my father, that's my father. "

Holding the guardrail with both hands, he watched his father slowly approaching with Daming's elite and mighty army with bright eyes, and the blood in his heart began to surge.

This scene seemed to be like a soldering iron, and it was deeply imprinted in his heart at once.

He felt that when he grows up, he must follow his father's example and lead Daming's soldiers to fight in all directions, making a great reputation for Daming.

If you can see it in March, so can Zhu Yuying.

At this moment, her eyes are full of Zhen Wu's figure, the man who rides on a tall horse, wears a bright armor, and walks at the forefront of the army, his back is straighter than anyone else, and he looks more resolute than anyone else Handsome, especially those eyes that seem to have been sharpened by countless winds and sands, like the most shining stars in the world.

She was extremely grateful that she had personally picked the best husband in the world.

At this moment, the world seemed to stand still, and the excited shouts around him had nothing to do with Zhu Yuying, she only knew that the man was the one she was looking forward to day and night, and who she was thinking of.

She watched, unable to take her eyes away.

The soldiers on the city tower, looking at the soldiers who returned in triumph, felt a burst of pride in their hearts, and when their eyes were on Zhen Wu, they couldn't help but burst out with respect.

It's him.

Lead an army through Annan, and tell everyone in the world that those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away, and let the countries on the Nanyang Peninsula put away their turbulent thoughts again, and become little brothers in their own right. .

The army slowly came to the city gate, Zhen Wu stopped outside the city gate, followed by thousands of Zhili soldiers and horses behind him, Zhen Wu's gaze moved up the city gate bit by bit, and finally It fell on the family.

He smiled slightly, and it was really good to see how his family felt when he came back.

"Cheng Liang."

Zhen Wu yelled, and then ordered: "Go and communicate with the guard, and then send someone to go to the tower to inform my family. I will go back when I finish my errands. It will probably take about two hours."

Cheng Liang went away in response.

Zhen Wu waited quietly with the army.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhen Wu looked at his family again, causing San Yue to jump up and down with excitement.

soon.

Cheng Liang came back, and Zhen Wu waved his hand and led the army into the city. Along the way, people kept calling the names of the soldiers, but fortunately Zhen Wu had mentioned the discipline issue in advance, and the soldiers only reported to let the family People's reassuring smiles and eyes did not affect the progress of the queue.

This time they need to be stationed in the Beijing Central Camp first, and the soldiers from each guard will return to the guard after the rewards are distributed.

And the generals who have made great achievements in this battle need to follow Zhen Wu to the palace to meet Zhu Di.

After the audience is over, Zhen Wu's commander-in-chief needs to be handed over, and the posts of generals, guerrilla generals, etc. on the other generals will end here, and they will return to their respective territories as their commanders and the like. permanent job.

The court meeting in the palace has not ended yet, and Zhu Di has been waiting for Zhen Wu and others with all the courtiers. Zhen Wu also knows this. After entering the barracks, he led Tan Zhong and other generals towards the palace.

The eunuch had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and when he saw Zhen Wu and others coming, he announced to the inside with a clear voice.

"General Zhengyi, Youzhu Kingdom, Zuo Dudu of Youfu, Zhao Guogong Zhenwu, Tan Zhong, Wang Tong and other 21 generals who have made great contributions to the south, please see your majesty."

The sound reverberated in the palace, layer by layer, one after another towards Fengtian Hall, extremely awe-inspiring.

Soon.

A "biography" came back from the Fengtian Temple layer by layer.

Zhen Wu led the crowd to tidy up their appearance and armor, and then Zhen Wu took the lead and strode towards Fengtian Hall.

And when Zhen Wu and his group walked into Fengtian Hall, the generals looked envious one by one, while the civil servants were agitated, silent, or slightly smiling, with various expressions.

But at this time, no one paid any attention to these people.

No matter what they think in their hearts, the fact that this battle has expanded its territory cannot be obliterated.

After the meeting with Zhen Wu and others, Zhu Di looked at Zhen Wu and others, waved his hand excitedly, and the dog came out holding an imperial decree.

Zhu Di is the kind of vigorous and resolute temperament.

At this time, what Zhen Wu and the other generals were looking forward to the most, he naturally knew, he would not force Lai Lai endlessly at this time.

Gou'er clearly stated the achievements of Zhen Wu and the others in detail, and then began to announce the rewards of the generals.

Tan Zhong, Wang Tong and others have been looking forward to it for a long time, so they are unavoidably excited at this moment.

Zhen Wu was much calmer.

However, when Zhen Wu heard that Zhu Di named him Zuo Zhuguo, Yinqing Ronglu doctor, and Prince Shaoshi, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. There is only one in Zuozhuguo now, and that is Li Jinglong, which can be said to be the highest honorary title. Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, is only the Zuozhu country at the highest level.

Speaking of this, it is worth mentioning that Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun were once named the Shangzhu Kingdom, but at that time the Yuan Dynasty was still alive, and the official positions were not determined. After Chang Yuchun died, Li Shanchang and Xu Da changed to Zuozhu. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost no living people have been granted the Shangzhu Kingdom, and most of the few people were granted posthumously.

Zhen Wu thought to himself, in this life, I don't know if I can get a special doctor Guanglu to come out of Shangzhu country.

As for the aspect of the prince and the master, Zhen Wu was basically at the top of the Yongle Dynasty. He was Zhu Di's son-in-law, the grand master, the grand tutor, and the grand protector could not be appointed to his head. Only when Zhu Di died, he could be a The emperor's teacher.

So in this way, Li Jinglong's Taishi and Zuo Zhuguo are still higher than Zhen Wu, but what is Li Jinglong's current situation, needless to say, he is short of going on a hunger strike and pretending to be pitiful, and now he has not won his title , even if Li Jinglong has a good eye, he dares to come out and jump.

From this point of view, Zhen Wu can be said to be No.1 among the hundred officials.

No.1!
Ah.

Zhen Wu couldn't help but smiled wryly again, if it wasn't for Li Jinglong on his head, he really needs to enter the days of retirement, otherwise he would have to sit on wax.

In fact, in Zhen Wu's opinion, there is nothing wrong with retiring, and he can enjoy life earlier. As for Da Ming's development, he can let it go, because if he has some good ideas and directions, he can tell others to do it That's fine, there are many capable people in the world, if the idea and direction can be realized, it's okay without Zhen Wu, if it can't be realized, even with Zhen Wu, it may not be any better.

He doesn't think he's more capable than everyone else.

Moreover, at his position, he doesn't need to deal with some things himself. If he expresses an idea, someone will naturally try to improve it. Zhen Wu only needs to ask for credit.

This can also earn the title of supporting subordinates.

In short, as long as he doesn't fight for credit, he can live freely, and he can also put forward some good suggestions for the development of Daming.

It's just that Zhu Di doesn't seem to want him to retire early.

But no matter what, Zhen Wu also intends to act in a low-key manner in the future. Like Zhang Yu, he will deal with his own business honestly, and try to avoid the limelight in other matters. Unless there are some major military operations, Zhu Di will point out he.

Just when Zhen Wu was thinking about this, the rewards finally came to an end.

Next, Zhu Di said some words of encouragement, and then retreated, but when Zhen Wu was about to leave, the dog came to Zhen Wu's side and asked Zhen Wu to go to the study to talk to Zhu Di.

Zhen Wu responded, raised his foot and walked towards Zhu Di's study.

After seeing Zhu Di again, Zhu Di smiled and asked Zhen Wu to sit down, and asked Zhen Wu to talk about the Nanzheng in detail. Zhen Wu did not refuse, organized his language, and then started from the beginning.

During this process, Zhu Diting's eyes glowed with envy.

This made Zhen Wu couldn't help feeling amused.

In Zhu Di's mind, no matter how many political achievements he has made, it will not compare to the joy of letting him lead troops to win a battle.

After Zhen Wu finished speaking, Zhu Di closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, then opened his eyes, looked serious, and talked about the business.

"The matter of Zheng He's voyage to the Western Seas has been decided. In a few days, we will go to Changle first, and then wait for the monsoon in Changle. Do you have anything to add to this matter?"
