"I, Mongolia, don't spend it, and I'm willing to surrender to the Khan of tomorrow." A black-flag general folded his arms around his chest and bent his knees in front of the young general.

"Long live, long live, long live—" All the officers and soldiers of the green flag, the blue flag, the blue flag, the red flag, and the black flag present cheered and knelt down.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the emperor finally swept away the remnants and unified Mobei. Complete the unfinished business of the first emperor. An old eunuch in a red robe stepped on the male duck and swayed to the young general's side, knelt on the ground and said.

The young general's face was gloomy, and there was no hint of joy in the slightest, and he turned around and strode out of the school grounds.

"Your Majesty—" The old eunuch shouted in a sharp voice, got up and took a duck step to catch up......

This young general is the current Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen, and the old eunuch next to him is Wang Zhen, the eunuch of the "inner minister" who leans towards the government and the opposition.

When Zhu Qizhen was about to walk out of the school field, he stopped, looked up to the sky and sighed, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Your Majesty?" Wang Zhen cautiously came to Zhu Qizhen's side, "The old slave is useless, and he can't serve the emperor well, please punish the emperor." ”

"Mr. Wang......" Zhu Qizhen sighed, "I remember the first time you brought me here for a military parade, it was in the first year of orthodoxy, right?" ”

"The emperor's memory is really good, the emperor was only nine years old at that time, and he was already able to lead thousands of armies."

"Now I'm twenty years old, and I'm still playing family games in the school field when I was nine years old......" Zhu Qizhen turned around and stared at him with a pair of dragon eyes, "Are you going to let me play here for the rest of my life?" ”

"Your Majesty—" Wang Zhen fell to his knees with a puff, "The slave is incompetent, he can't let the master show his ambitions, and the slave is guilty......"

"Mr. Wang, Emperor Taizu swept the plough court eight times, and Emperor Taizong conquered Mobei five times, do I have to be like this caged bird and do nothing?"

"Your Majesty, Lao Tzu said: 'Soldiers, murder weapons, saints have to use them.'" Now I will be peaceful tomorrow, and I will serve all over the world. Why does the emperor always remember to use troops abroad? ”

"It's a peaceful world, and the four seas are served." Zhu Qizhen swordsman, "In the first year of orthodoxy, the Tatars attacked my Longdong, Gansu; In the third year of orthodoxy, Wuliangha disturbed my northern border; In the same year, the Tatars disturbed our Shaanxi-Gansu border again, and at that time I was going to drive the expedition in person, but the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty said that I was young, and now I am twenty years old, can't I follow the example of Taizu Taizong to whip the desert? ”

"Your Majesty-" Wang Zhen dragged out his voice, "The Son of Heaven is powerful all over the world, and there is no need to take risks in person, I think that the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu Mo Nan without a royal court, and he did not drive the royal expedition in person, but sent two generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to go deep into Mobei, and returned the wolf Juxu." The emperor only needs to sit in Beijing, and the affairs below will be handed over to the courtiers, so he can still leave his name in history! ”

"Hmph-" Zhu Qizhen glanced at him, "The Manchu Dynasty is a child, are you also a child?" Just a few words to coax me over? ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave is just thinking about the Lord Banzai." Wang Zhen lowered his eyebrows and held his breath.

"Yo, who is the emperor angry with!" A crisp and delicate voice came.

The eyes of both of them were attracted, and not far away, the beautiful and lovely little princess Zhu Xiyuan was wearing a big red skirt and walking towards this side happily with a bright smile.

"Yongqing, you're back." Zhu Qizhen was quite surprised,

"Her Royal Highness Princess—" Wang Zhen hurriedly greeted.

"Rise up, princess!" Zhu Xiyuan turned around and bowed to Zhu Qizhen Yingying, "Sister Yongqing, knock to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

"Look at you!" Zhu Qizhen stomped his feet and hurriedly supported her, "It's not in the palace, why are you doing so many courtesies?" ”

"Your Majesty, your sister knows that you must be here." Zhu Xiyuan's beautiful big eyes flashed and flickered, so unexpected.

"What about Qi Yu? Why didn't I come with you? Zhu Qizhen asked.

"Brother Yu Wang is too slow, I am impatient to join him, so I will ride back on a fast horse first." Zhu Xiyuan pouted.

"You! It's always so hot, and she doesn't look like a royal princess at all. Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.

"Huh-" Zhu Xiyuan playfully spat out her cute little tongue, "By the way, Your Majesty, who made you angry just now?" ”

"Who else can there be, Mr. Wang and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty." Zhu Qizhen glared at Wang Zhen.

"Oh? I understand. Zhu Xiyuan's jewel-like beautiful eyes flickered, "The emperor wanted to conquer Fanbang in person, but the prince and the minister of civil and military affairs advised him, saying that the emperor's body of ten thousand gold should not be moved lightly." As a result, the emperor's grand cause is gone, right? ”

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Wang coaxed me to do what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did, using Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to sweep Mobei, I want to be Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but where are Wei Qing and Huo Quai?" Zhu Qizhen said angrily.

"Is this Wei Qing and Huo going to be sick?" Zhu Xiyuan groaned slightly, and a flash of brilliance flashed in her eyes, "The courtier's sister can recommend one to the emperor." ”

"Oh? Who is it? "Zhu Qizhen is interested.

"Nandu Jinyi, Weinan Town, Fusi, 100 households, Yang Muyun." Zhu Xiyuan finally spit out the name that she had been chanting countless times in her heart every day.

"Yang Muyun? Nanzhen Fusi's 100 Jinyi Wei 100 households? Zhu Qizhen read it silently, and looked up at Zhu Xiyuan, "The hundred households of this brocade guard are grabbing a lot of them in the capital, and there is nothing special about this hundred households you introduced." ”

"Of course!" Zhu Xiyuan raised his head, "My sister and Brother Yu were kidnapped in Nandu, and it was Yang Muyun who broke into the tiger's den alone and rescued me and Brother Yu, may I ask the emperor, who among those hundred households in the capital can do it?" ”

"Oh? Then Yongqing, you can tell me about this Yang Muyun and Yang Baihu! A hint of curiosity flashed on Zhu Qizhen's face.

"Sister obeys!" Zhu Xiyuan was blessed.

......

"Listen to you, this person is both civil and military, what a talent!" Zhu Qizhen stroked his chin and exclaimed. He glanced at Wang Zhen, "This Yang Baihu is the same as Mr. Wang, and he is actually a talent!" ”

"Hearing the princess say this, the old slave also wants to see this Yang Muyun and Yang Baihu." Wang Zhen squinted his eyes and smiled.

"This person has made a great contribution, and he is too wronged to sit in the position of a hundred households, so he will be promoted to a thousand households!" Zhu Qizhen looked at Wang Zhen, "In addition, recruit him into Beijing and let me take a good look at whether I can be Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who are beside me." ”

"The old slave obeys!" Wang Zhen's waist bowed like a shrimp.

"Yang Muyun, if you want to leave this princess alone, don't think-" The corners of Zhu Xiyuan's mouth showed a smug smile, "As long as you enter Beijing, don't think about escaping from the palm of this princess." As he spoke, he stretched out his snow-white hand and shook it weakly.

————————

Yang Muyun shuddered.

"Yang Xianggong, are you uncomfortable?" Yun Niang asked with concern.

"It's okay, maybe I swam in the water for a long time last night and got a little cold." Yang Muyun smiled bitterly, he felt a little evil.

"How far is it from Huai'an Mansion?" Yun Niang asked.

"Huh-" Cao Shuisheng held the oars and pointed ahead, "Do you see the city wall, it's almost there." ”

Yang Muyun looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that on the east bank of the canal, a section of blue-gray city wall appeared.

......

Huai'an Province is a north-south water transport hub and a bridge for east-west transportation. Since the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, all the grain ships from Huguang, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Jiangnan must go north through Huai'an, because Huai'an is also a famous Huai'an salt producing area, the unloaded grain ships, and then from here are loaded with salt to transport to all parts of the south. Due to its special geographical location, merchants from the south to the north trade goods here, and tourists also trade here, making the commerce of the whole Huai'an very prosperous. There are rows of shops and restaurants inside and outside Huai'an City, all night long, day and night.

Ganlin Temple is in the north of Huai'an City, the incense is very vigorous, the pilgrims who come to the temple to offer incense every day are endless, just like the people who go to the market during the New Year's Festival.

Yang Muyun and Cao Shuisheng and Yun Niang came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, after giving incense to the Buddha, they donated incense money to the monk of Zhike, and the monk recorded the name of the donor in the book, and listened to the three of them explain their intentions, so they asked a little novice to lead them to the backyard to find Master Jin Chan.

People who came to find Master Jin Chan lined up in a long line, and asked, some came to him to see a doctor, some asked for a post to exorcise evil spirits, and some came to him for guidance, it seems that this great monk is omnipotent, can solve all mundane things in the world. Cao Shuisheng and Yun Niang honestly lined up in a long line as soon as they arrived here, Yang Muyun couldn't bear to sit and wait for a long time, and after saying hello to Shui Sheng Yun Niang, he wandered around this temple.

Ganlin Temple was originally a small temple, since the arrival of the Golden Chan master, it has become famous far and wide, not only the original hall statue has been repaired, there are some new halls under construction around.

Yang Muyun didn't want to do more in a crowded place, so he walked into a remote corner gate. Inside the corner gate is a large courtyard, there are pavilions and towers in it, flowers everywhere, a pond of water, winding through the entire courtyard, and a small bridge is built on the pond water, which makes people feel like entering a fairyland.

I didn't expect there to be such a good place to go here, Yang Muyun sighed. After strolling in the courtyard for a while, Yang Muyun only felt refreshed.

"Why can't you go in here? Do you know who I am? Dare to block Miss Ben's way. A delicate voice came.

Yang Muyun couldn't help but follow the sound and look, next to a side door in the northwest corner of the courtyard, several women were gathered. A girl wearing a pink collared skirt pointed to the bald head of a monk and said, the hem of her lower skirt couldn't help shaking, showing extreme anger.

"The female benefactor, please forgive the sin—" the monk was not annoyed, "there is a hall under construction inside, and the craftsmen are busy in it, which is really inconvenient. ”

"Hmph-" The girl's Xiao Yao wrinkled, "Are you a three-year-old child?" It's so quiet inside, it's a bit like a construction site. ”

"It was nearly noon, and the craftsmen went to eat." That monk explained.

The girl's apricot eyes were round, and she had to say more.

"Sister, the flowers are blooming very brightly over there, why don't we go and watch it together, isn't it far better than sulking with life here?" A delicate voice said.

Yang Muyun's figure shook violently, and when she looked closely, a beautiful young woman in a red skirt smiled and persuaded the girl, she was beautiful with a graceful and luxurious temperament, and every word made people sound so irresistible.

"Zhou Mengnan, why is she here?" Yang Muyun was shocked, he wanted to turn around, but it was too late.

Zhou Mengnan's beautiful eyes had already swept to his figure, and both of them were fixed there motionlessly.

"If Sister Zhou hadn't persuaded me, I wouldn't have spared you!" The girl waved her small pink fist.

"The little monk doesn't dare, the little monk doesn't dare." The monk wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Sister Zhou, let's go-" The girl grabbed Zhou Mengnan's arm. Zhou Mengnan didn't move, his whole body froze, and a thin layer of mist seemed to be shrouded in his eyes.

"Sister Zhou, what's wrong with you?" The girl asked curiously.

"Uh...... It's nothing. Zhou Mengnan came back to his senses, and there was a flicker in his eyes, "Sister, it's not early, I'll send you home!" ”

"Sister Zhou, aren't you going to enjoy the flowers with me?"

"But it's almost noon, if you don't go back, Lord Yao will worry about you." Zhou Mengnan took the girl's hand and walked quickly towards the courtyard.

"Why do you look weird today?" The girl muttered.

"Sister, after sending you back, I have something to go back to the Tongfu Inn, so I won't stay in your house...... Zhou Mengnan said as she pulled the girl past Yang Muyun.

watched as the two shadows walked farther and farther away until they disappeared...... Yang Muyun's eyes narrowed, Zhou Mengnan will always be like this, her maturity is far beyond the immature age she is in, no matter how excited she is, it will not make her emotions explode. She is like a deep lake, and no matter how big a stone falls into it, it can only spread out a shallow ripple without stirring up a little wave.

Yang Muyun turned around and glanced at the place where the two of them had just stopped, and the monk used a lock to lock the side door firmly, and hurriedly went.

"Meng Nan's last sentence is obviously hinting that I went to the Tongfu Inn to find her, husband and wife, how can I not go?" Yang Muyun sighed. During these days in Nandu, although he lived with Zisu, he never denied it in his heart that he and Zhou Mengnan were the real couple.

Yang Muyun walked out of the courtyard, the queue in front of the meditation room of Master Jin Chan was still very long, Yang Muyun found Cao Shuisheng and Yun Niang, told them that something was wrong, and left the temple.

The location of Tongfu Inn is very inquired, it is located in Huai'an Mansion City's most prosperous town Huailou Street, here is the most concentrated place of shops, liquor shops, green buildings, and the women dressed up in fancy clothes even openly solicit customers on the street in broad daylight.

Tongfu Inn is the largest inn on Huailou Street in Zhenhuailou, under the huge signboard of the inn, it is Yang Muyun's hesitant figure, the husband and wife have not seen each other for a long time, there will be a lot of things to say, what will she ask me? Yang Muyun suddenly felt a little weak in his heart.
