Zhu Yuanzhang's triumphant class teacher, after fasting and bathing for three days, convened the department to burn incense and worship the sky again in the Purple Mountain, sacrifice the fallen soldiers, and reward everyone for meritorious deeds, and set up a banquet to entertain them.

The whole Yingtianfu was very lively, and the people heard that Zhu Yuanzhang not only kept Yingtianfu but also defeated Chen Youliang, and they were all as happy as the New Year's holiday. Some people even set up Zhu Yuanzhang's immortal card at home, thanking Zhu Yuanzhang for bringing them a good life.

Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige was unprecedentedly high, and the generals took the opportunity to ask him to set himself up as king, on the grounds that the dignified Han Emperor Chen Youliang was defeated in his hands, and he was still just a small prince, which was too aggrieved.

At this time, even Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, had to be protected by Zhu Yuanzhang, he had elite ships and a vast territory, and he was fully qualified to be crowned king. But the difference between him and Chen Youliang is that he values people's hearts very much, and he will not be as domineering and arrogant as Chen Youliang in the matter of being crowned king, although he also has the intention of being the king in his heart, he still has to pretend to shirk it on the surface.

Everyone knows that this kind of scene must be done well and beautifully. They all repeatedly begged Zhu Yuanzhang to be king, saying that this is the will of the people and the destiny of heaven.

Hu Weiyong, who is good at drilling, also sent a petition umbrella from Huguang to implore Zhu Yuanzhang not to live up to the wishes of the people.

Hu Weiyong was too ironing to do things, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied, and transferred him back from Huguang to serve as Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and was in charge of the etiquette of the temple.

When the officials heard the news, they presented umbrellas from all over the country, and some people made all kinds of "auspicious rui" from the mountains and waters, so as to prove that Zhu Yuanzhang's claim to be king was in accordance with the people's hearts and the mandate of heaven.

Zhu Yuanzhang was playing with a fist-sized piece of amber in his hand, which was also one of the auspicious gifts sent by the officials.

Ma Xiuying's view of this amber is crystal clear, the texture is delicate, the body exudes a crystal luster, the tentacles are warm, the most peculiar thing is that there is a spider-like creature inside, the shape is weird, the fart is round, the top is in the shape of a grinding disc, and there are patterns on it, and the patterns are faintly like a king's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "The official who sent this thing folded up and said that this is a thousand years of amber, and they have never seen the spider in it, and now it suddenly appears with the word king, which shows that I was destined to be the king a thousand years ago." ”

Ma Xiuying was stunned, and admired the official who made this auspicious rui. The sound of the Spider King is the same as that of King Zhu, or is it destined for a thousand years, should it be so exaggerated?

Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed at the auspicious rui that these officials had worked out of their hearts, and joked: "Madam, all the civil and military officials have persuaded me to be the king, but I haven't agreed yet." Do you want to continue to be a duchess or do you want to be a princess?"

"Guogong has an idea in his heart, and he comes to tease me. Ma Xiuying returned the amber to Zhu Yuanzhang and said angrily: "If you really let me say it, I still think it's good to be a lady, I've been used to it for so many years, if others call me princess in the future, I'm afraid I won't be used to it." ”

A smile froze on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and he muttered: "What's wrong with it, Madam is everywhere, and the princess is not something that everyone can do." ”

"The prince is not something that everyone can do. Ma Xiuying sneered, "Okay, I won't tease you, I really want to be a princess, you should be crowned king quickly." Only a great hero like you who stands up to the sky and the earth is worthy of being crowned a king and a marquis, or even a ninety-five honor. ”

"Hehe," Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, "I know that my wife is duplicitous." ”

"You, you're going to be the king's person, and you're still like a child. Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's proud and proud face, Ma Xiuying was secretly amused. She knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior was nothing more than wanting to be praised by herself, just like a person making achievements outside, what she wanted to hear most was appreciation and worship from her relatives.

The two were talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard that Liu Ji, Xu Da and others came to the door together to ask to meet. It turned out that the soldiers could not get a clear answer from Zhu Yuanzhang as king, so they came to persuade him.

Ma Xiuying saw Zhu Yuanzhang change into his robe and said with a smile: "Go quickly, not only are they anxious, but some people are also anxious." ”

"Hey!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face flushed, and he grabbed Ma Xiuying's hand and didn't let go, "Madame can get out of bed and walk around, so come with me to meet them." ”

"I'm a woman......" Ma Xiuying raised her eyebrows, Zhu Yuanzhang warned her not to contact officials again, and this will take her to meet officials again, what does it mean?

"Madame is recovering very quickly, and she was able to walk around a few days ago, and this morning the slave maid accompanied Madame for a walk in the garden. Xun Ying couldn't help but interject next to him. She is anxious for Ma Xiuying, since Zhu Yuanzhang wants the husband and wife to meet guests, will she go, if Ma Xiuying doesn't go, will she leave the opportunity to Guo Hui or Guo Ninglian?

"Why not, they are all my confidants, and it's not like I haven't met my wife. Hearing that Ma Xiuying could move around, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say, and pulled her away. Exciting times are coming, and of course share them with those closest to you.

"See the Duke and the Lady. When the officials saw them, they bowed their heads together.

"You're welcome, all of you sit down, all of you. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and helped Liu Ji and the others up.

Ma Xiuying hurriedly asked the servants to serve tea.

Liu Ji stood up and asked, "Madame, can you recover?"

Ma Xiuying thanked her in return, "Thank you, sir, I have recovered." I am really ashamed to worry about all the soldiers. However, Mr. summoned the east wind this time and burned Chen Youliang's enemy ship, and made a great contribution."

Liu Ji said modestly: "My subordinates dare not be ashamed." If it weren't for Madame's deliberate reminder, how would the subordinates and others know the plan of fire attack. ”

The generals heard it in a fog, and the fire attack plan was discussed by them, what does it have to do with Ma Xiuying?

Liu Ji looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, and saw that they were not displeased, so he asked everyone with a smile, "Do you know who is the pock-faced sister-in-law who appeared on a plate of fried vegetables that day when I was waiting for the discussion in the national public account?"

"Who is it?" The generals were quite surprised, that day they really heard the pock-faced sister-in-law mention that a ship in Chen Youliang's fleet was on fire that made them think of the fire attack plan, and at this time, listening to Liu Ji's tone, it seemed that they already knew the identity of this person.

"That's Madam!" Liu Ji said with a smile as he stroked his goatee. Since he saw a pair of big feet of the pock-faced sister-in-law that day, he began to make bold guesses, and later heard that Ma Xiuying suddenly appeared on the boat to save Zhu Yuanzhang, so he was sure that the pock-faced sister-in-law was Ma Xiuying pretending, and today I saw Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife with a calm and calm look, and it was sure that it must be Ma Xiuying.

"Huh?" The generals were shocked, especially Zhou Dexing, who had reprimanded Ma Xiuying that day, was even more nervous, if he knew that the pock-faced sister-in-law was Ma Xiuying, he would not dare to reprimand him like that if he had a hundred dares.

Chang Yuchun shouted: "I said why did Mrs. suddenly come down from the sky to save Guogong, it turns out that she has been in the military camp all along." Guogong has made us so miserable. ”

"Well, I don't want you to be distracted by this......" Zhu Yuanzhang was embarrassed to say that he only learned the true identity of the pock-faced sister-in-law later, and replied vaguely, glaring at Ma Xiuying angrily.

Not to be outdone, Ma Xiuying wrinkled her nose. She is now an injured person, and Xun Ying told her that Zhu Yuanzhang had promised not to care about her leaving the house without permission, so she was not afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would settle accounts after the autumn.
