Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 137
July [-]rd of the eighth year of Hongwu was the day when Emperor Hongwu returned to his hometown.

On this day, all the streets of Zhongdu were empty, and the people of Fengyang, Linhuai and Huai counties were mobilized.Not to mention those old folks who crazily worship Zhu Yuanzhang, even those immigrants from Shanxi and Jiangnan, who would not look forward to seeing this legendary native born and bred emperor, whether his appearance is round or flat?

It is no exaggeration, at least hundreds of thousands of people came out to welcome Emperor Hongwu's holy car that day. From the city gate of Zhongdu to dozens of miles away, there were crowds of people supporting the old and the young on both sides of the official road.

The [-] officers and soldiers of Fengyang's four guards all put on brand-new military uniforms, standing on both sides of the official road with bright armor and neat military appearance.

Officers wear phoenix-winged helmets with red tassels on their heads, gold or silver mountain armor according to their grades, shiny cowhide boots, and sharkskin scabbards with golden hoop handles on their waists. On the saber, it is even more majestic, so that the people dare not look at it.

At three o'clock, the tiger guard cavalry leading the holy car arrived. The cavalry in full armor, riding tall horses, lined up in neat formation, and drove past the eyes of the people one by one.

People were stunned to find that even the steps of the horseshoes were uniform, and the official road that was newly padded with loess and sprinkled with water trembled, and it also made people's hearts tremble involuntarily.

After the tiger and cardinal cavalry came the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Four Guards wearing the same exquisite armor. They did not drive directly, but lined up inside the Fengyang Guard's cordon to set up a second cordon.

Then there is the majestic and magnificent emperor's guard of honor.There are twelve dragon flags, arranged on the left and right; the Beidou flag and the flag are in the front, and the leopard tail is in the back.

There are two tigers and leopards each, and six tamed elephants, arranged on the left and right.

There are 64 cloth flags such as door flags, sun flags, and moon flags; wood, fire, earth, gold, and water five-star flags, five mountain flags, bear flags, luan flags, and 28 constellation flags, each with six lines, and there are hundreds of them in total...

And each banner has five armored soldiers, one holding the flag and four holding bows and crossbows as guards.

Then came the emperor's five chariots, the so-called five ren, namely jade ren, gold ren, elephant ren, leather ren, and wooden ren.

Five carriages run side by side, and Zhu Yuanzhang is on the jade carriage in the middle, which is the so-called 'jade chariot'.Coupled with the yellow canopy on the roof, it is the so-called "Jade Chariot for the Son of Heaven, Shade Canopy".

As for the countless round fans, gourds, golden festivals, candle cages, green dragon and white tiger buildings, swords, stirrups and other things in the back, they are all held by Xiaowei Qing, so there is no need to repeat them one by one.

How can ordinary people understand these various and diverse guards of honor?Everyone's eyes are dazzled, but they are reluctant to blink.This is probably the only chance for them to witness the emperor's guard of honor in their life.

~~
Shen Liuniang was also in the crowd, but she didn't come to watch the fun.She's here to sue.

Originally, she still had some expectations for the Hong family brothers. After all, the savior Han Zhixian said that they could help her.

But she wandered around Fengyang County with the Hong family troupe for a month, and even played Pan Jinlian for them for a month.

Obviously, they were frightened by what happened to Hong Hao Hongji.

Especially after knowing that it was Mingjiao who invited them, she could completely understand how the brothers didn't want to cause trouble, and she never blamed them.

But after returning to Linhuai, there was no news of these five people. She went to Jinqiaokan to look for them once, and found that they had already moved without saying hello.Ask Zhang Hu and Zhang Hu doesn't say anything, so she will inevitably be disappointed.

At this time, she just learned that Emperor Hongwu was going back to her hometown, so she decided to come by herself.

Seeing Shengjia approaching, Shen Liuniang suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and quickly broke through the first line of defense before the Fengyang Zhongwei soldiers could react.

However, when she wanted to take advantage of the situation and rush through the second cordon, she was suddenly pressed to the ground with lightning speed, and then she was covered with a big quilt and tied with a rope, so that she could not move, nor could she. Without making a sound, he was dragged away without a sound...

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, from Shen Liuniang rushing out to being rolled up and taken away, it took no more than five breaths in total.

The crowd didn't make a fuss about it, even the common people who were close at hand didn't see clearly what she was doing, and thought she was a lunatic...

Where Shen Liuniang disappeared, there was a white cloth with blood-red injustice written on it.

The officers and soldiers of the Jinwu left guard who dealt with the scene quickly picked it up and handed it to their commanders.

The commander of the Jinwu left guard is called Li Qi, the eldest son of Li Shanchang...

As the eldest son of the Han Dynasty, he naturally cherishes the feathers, so he didn't even look at them, so he handed the white cloth to Ding Bin who was beside him.He smiled softly: "It seems that you are too comfortable in Fengyang, and your reaction is much slower."

"Hmph, it's the same if we switch positions." Ding Bin took the bloody white cloth, unfolded it, and stuffed it back to Li Qi, saying:
"It's a fugitive slave from your cousin's house, you two brothers can figure it out."

"It's as if we are not brothers." Li Qi had no choice but to take it and stuff it into his sleeve, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm right with you, but he's not." Ding Bin snorted again, as if he looked down on Han Hangong's eldest nephew.

~~
Surrounded by thousands of riders, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't see this little episode at all.

He was wearing a dragon robe, standing on the imperial chariot, with a spring breeze on his face, and frequently waved to his fathers and villagers.

Fathers and villagers also responded with shouts of long live, one after another.Amidst the continuous sound of long live, the common people turned to the dust and danced, and bowed devoutly to the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Shanchang was dressed in grand court clothes and was boarded by Enzhun on the imperial chariot.He withdrew all his arrogance and domineering, and stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully, carefully praising the emperor.

Just like he's been doing for the past 20 years.

"Every time I go back to my hometown, my hometown has changed a lot. This time I come back, it is very different from the time in the fourth year of Hongwu. It really has the posture of a country's capital." Zhu Yuanzhang waved to the villagers and said with emotion: "Old Li You have done a great job."

"The superior is absurdly praised. Fengyang can change with each passing day, all thanks to the mighty grace of the superior emperor, and the people are blessed." Li Shanchang said with a modest smile:

"Over the past few years, I have returned to my hometown three times. The first time was in April of the 12th year of Longfeng, the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the first emperor was reburied in the imperial mausoleum. The second time was in February of the fourth year of Hongwu, to review the regulations of Zhongdu. The layout plan. Even if the old minister has worked a little hard, it will only be after the second round, and he must not dare to covet the achievements of the sky."

"Oh, hahahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, and put his arms around Li Shanchang's shoulders and said, "You old Li, why are you still so good at talking? No wonder we like you the most!"

"The veteran also likes to be in the top position the most." Li Shanchang smiled honestly, and said without feeling nasty: "I haven't seen the high position in these years, the old minister really can't eat well and sleep well, it's like suffering from lovesickness."

"Hahaha! If you can talk, just say a few more words." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the circular mound on the right, suddenly remembered something, and laughed again: "If Mr. Liu can talk half as much as you, we won't look at it." He's annoying."

"Hehe, Mr. Liu is a god, and the old minister is a mortal." Li Shanchang's heart shrank.
