Riding the dust, bringing up the dust all the way, after a while, it has already reached the front of the team. Liu Xingzuo saw at a glance that Lu Xiangsheng, the tall, fair-skinned and eye-catching governor of Denglai, saw that he was smiling and looking at himself, so he immediately hugged his fists and saluted, and before he could say anything, Lu Xiangsheng had already taken the first step to speak, and said with a smile: "Let's go see your mother first!" ”

Liu Xingzuo had a deep sense of gratitude on his face, and without saying much, he turned over and dismounted, regardless of his manners, and trotted towards the carriage.

"Daddy, daddy......" The little girl Yue'er didn't know when, she had already poked her little head out of the carriage, stretched out her little hand, and shouted loudly while waving, with excitement in her voice. couldn't even wait for Liu Xingzuo to pass, jumped out of the carriage by himself, and rushed towards Liu Xingzuo with his legs.

Liu Xingzuo hurriedly squatted down, stretched out his hands and picked up his daughter, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

"Dad, are you crying?" Miss Yue'er suddenly found that Liu Xingzuo's tears flowed out, and hurriedly reached out to wipe them, and at the same time said, "Dad, don't cry, my daughter and mother, and grandma, aunts are all fine!" ”

Liu Xingzuo wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is grandma?" ”

"There!" Miss Yue'er had already wiped away her father's tears, turned around and pointed to the first carriage with her hand, the same one she had just jumped from.

Liu Xingzuo heard the sound and looked, and first saw the little hand that his daughter was pointing at. When he saw his daughter's hand, which was a little rough and had a lot of calluses, it looked like a child's hand, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour. Looking further, I saw that in the first carriage, his daughter-in-law was kneeling on the side of the carriage, looking at herself while lifting the curtain with her hand. In the car, it was his old mother, looking at him with a smile.

Liu Xingzuo's first thought was that his mother was much older, and she had a lot more wrinkles than before, and she had lost a lot of weight.

"Mother!" Liu Xingzuo shouted, hugged his daughter and ran over a few steps, and after arriving in front of the car, he put down his daughter, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the ground with a crying voice, choked and said: "The child is not filial, let your old man suffer!" ”

The old woman's tears also flowed out, looking at the eldest son who was kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly leaned forward, stretched out her hand to signal, and said happily with tears: "Zuo'er, get up quickly, my mother is fine, many people are watching!" ”

There were two people on the side of the carriage who had already turned over and dismounted, but Liu Xingzuo didn't see it, they were his brothers, Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingxian. After hearing their mother's instructions, the two stepped forward, each helped one side, and helped Liu Xingzuo up.

"Brother!"

"Big brother!"

Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingxian looked at the eldest brother wearing the official uniform of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, majestic, this is the emperor's first confidant, and they couldn't help but be happy and envious in their hearts.

Liu Xingzuo nodded to the two brothers, got into the carriage and knelt in front of the old man, looked at the old mother carefully, and couldn't help but burst into tears again. Don't even ask, my mother must have suffered a lot in Liaodong!

The old woman herself was in tears, but with a smile, she stretched out a pair of thin hands, wiped her son's tears, and then carefully looked at Liu Xingzuo's face, reached out and touched her son's hair, as if she was afraid that these were just a dream.

When the other soldiers and generals in the team saw this scene, instead of laughing, they showed a kind smile. They thought in their hearts that it was really good that the commander of the Jinyi Guard was such a big official, but he was also a man of temperament!

Suddenly, the old woman seemed to come back to her senses, and hurriedly instructed her son: "Zuo'er, don't let Lu Zhongcheng wait!" Now that the family is reunited, there will be time in the future. ”

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "Mother is right, the first assistant of the cabinet and hundreds of civil and military officials are also waiting at the city gate!" ”

The old woman didn't know about this, and when she heard that the first assistant of the cabinet and hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting at the city gate, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly urged Liu Xingzuo not to delay any longer.

Liu Xingzuo turned his head to look at the daughter-in-law next to him, his eyes were full of tenderness, but he didn't speak, he got out of the carriage according to the old mother's words, and after glancing at the two brothers, he went up and rode a horse and said in parallel with Lu Xiangsheng: "I didn't think that there would be a day to see my mother again, so that Zhongcheng laughed!" ”

Speaking of this, he once again very solemnly hugged his fist to Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Zhongcheng thousands of miles to save my family's grace, Xingzuo will remember the five hearts, keep it in mind!" ”

With the grateful promise of the commander of Jinyiwei, it can be said that whoever wants to move Lu Xiangsheng in the future must pass his pass first. And if you want to move the benefactor of the Jinyi Guard, in this Ming world, I am afraid that no official will have this weight! From this moment on, Lu Xiangsheng's official career can be said to have an additional major guarantee.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally understood in his heart, but he hugged his fist in the direction of Jingshi and said, "This official just did what he should do according to the emperor's order. If Commander Liu wants to thank him, he should thank the emperor first! Otherwise, even if the official wants to go to Shenyang to save your family this time, it will be difficult to succeed without the emperor bothering to provide so much information! ”

Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo nodded involuntarily, and said very solemnly: "I, Liu Xingzuo, don't know how to be virtuous, I have to be so valued by the emperor, and even my Liu family has such a vast imperial grace, and it is difficult to repay the emperor's kindness!" ”

If Liu Xingzuo used to be grateful to Emperor Chongzhen for his kindness and would do his best, after this incident, he became a real dog of Emperor Chongzhen himself, absolutely loyal, let whoever bites will bite whomever he wants, let him do whatever he wants!

It didn't take long for the team to arrive at the gate of Jingshi City. Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, read out the holy decree, crowned Lu Xiang as the crown prince and prince, gave him reckless clothes, and Yin Yizi was a hundred households in Jinyiwei; Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were promoted to generals and assigned to the command of Governor Denglai. Mao Chengzuo was named the deputy chief soldier of Dongjiang, which was recognized by the imperial court and officially took over the original position of Mao Wenlong. Liu Xingzhi was named a deputy general, and other generals at all levels were also rewarded.

After reading this will, Wen Tiren took out another holy decree, but it was for Liu Xingzuo's family. In the holy decree, Mrs. Liu was commended for her good parenting, cultivating talents for the imperial court, and being able to risk death to persuade her son to abandon the darkness and join the light, which is really a model for the people of the Ming Dynasty; Mrs. Liu is hereby named Mrs. Yipin; And although Liu Xingzuo's daughter-in-law was born in the Jurchen clan, she was sensible, debated right and wrong, and understood filial piety, so she was also named the second-grade lady. In addition, including Liu Xingzuo's deceased father, he was also posthumously sealed.

After reading these wills, Wen Tiren led the civil and military officials to lead the cavalry into the Beijing Division, and sent the ashes of the martyrs who went out this time into the Ming Martyrs' Hall.

The whole ceremony took about an afternoon, and the people of Jingshi watched all this from beginning to end, until they saw the ashes of the martyrs entering the Martyrs' Hall under the guidance of Shoufu and other civil and military officials.

As the crowd dispersed, the reputation of the Liu family general of the Ming Dynasty spread.
