The willows in front of the Lu house are still around, and the grass is green.

Zhu Qiming pushed open the fence gate, and saw the servant woman running out of the door, stretching her neck to look around, and then returned to the house with a smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu Xi were apparently not at home. Lu Xiyu walked out of the boudoir quickly, looked him up and down carefully, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You have the fragrance of grassland flowers on you." ”

The floral scent of the prairie? No matter how he heard this, he felt awkward, and he couldn't help but think of Saihan! He reflexively looked down at his arms, and saw that the silver armor had been removed, and at this moment he was wearing a regular suit, so he raised his sleeves and sniffed lightly, and found that the smell of lavender still remained on his cuffs.

"I only carry a piece of moonlight in front of your house."

Lu Xiyu fluttered his long eyelashes, and a faint question flowed out with the eye waves, and the eye waves moved, and finally landed on the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist.

"I was ambushed by Tartar thieves in Miyun and fell off a cliff, but fortunately the Buddha beads saved my life."

Lu Xiyu was taken aback, all his reserve suddenly dissipated, and he walked quickly to his side, and Rulan's breath was already blowing on his neck. "You're not hurt, are you?"

"Not even a single hair has been injured, I am compassionate!" Zhu Qiming smiled heartily, "Sister, I am allowed to go back to live in Yuefu, the door of Yuefu is open to you at any time, you are my companion, we can be accompanied by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and we can enjoy ourselves at ease." ”

Lu Xiyu turned his head sideways, his face was a little shy, "My father has to call the shots in this matter." ”

There was a sound of hooves outside the door that was getting closer and closer, and after a while, Wang Lie's voice floated in, "His Royal Highness King Yue, His Royal Highness the Emperor has entered the palace!" ”

Rain on someone's parade! Zhu Qiming suddenly woke up from a big dream, and his thoughts quickly returned to the complex reality he had to face.

Alas, now is not the time to be at ease!

······

Warat envoys entered Beijing to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, and the imperial court set up a solemn guard of honor in front of the gate of the Fengtian Palace, and two hundred Jinyi guards with strict postures stood in a solemn formation, and the Han generals who belonged to the Jinyi Guards and were responsible for setting off the atmosphere of the Chang Dynasty were also impressively listed. Fifty burly and tall Han generals exuded an awe-inspiring momentum and became the focus of attention in the honor guard.

In addition to the Han generals, there are also fifty red helmet generals and one hundred Ming armor generals. These people all rely on their extraordinary stature and bright armor to attract people's attention, and they are magnificent and powerful, as for their martial arts and actual combat power, no one knows, and they will never be put into actual combat anyway.

Zhu Qiming walked through the honor guard array and met Xining who came out of Fengtian Hall head-on. "It seems that Father-in-law Xi is an idle person, where there is excitement, there is Father-in-law Xi."

Xi Ning smiled leisurely, with the common arrogance in her eyes, "The Sprinkle family is not as good as His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has a lot of leisure days to have fun, but the Sprinkle family is born with a hard life, how dare the Sprinkle family have the slightest neglect of the emperor's orders?" No, the envoys of Warat came to the Hajj, what rewards, feasts, so many trivial things, and they had to run around the house for a while! ”

Thinking that a close minister of the Son of Heaven only needs to treat the trivial matters ordered by the Son of Heaven as a big thing to do, and to achieve the extreme, he can accumulate a deep grace from the Son of Heaven, and this favor is deeply rooted in the heart of the emperor, and it is injected with personal emotional factors, which are far from comparable to the military exploits accumulated by sacrificing their lives, Zhu Qiming's heart was filled with sadness.

Xining turned around and walked a few steps slowly, then turned around and said with a smile: "Your Highness has been playing in the courtyard for more than half a year, and once he was ordered to go on the expedition, it is not easy to avoid defeat!" So good, victory is not happy, defeat is worrying, undefeated is not defeated, just the best of both worlds. It's just a pity that His Highness has been walking on the snow and ice for several months, alas, it's a pity, His Highness might as well think more about the benefits, just go there to enjoy the mountains and rivers. ”

Xining left with a smile, Zhu Qiming's chest was like a turbulent roll, and for a moment, he was almost out of control.

Not to lose? Sightseeing? On the basis of other people's criticism, he added oil and vinegar again, and tried his best to smear and sing the decline, and it is difficult for others to distinguish anything about this.

There is nothing more expensive than this!

Don't mess with yourself! Zhu Qiming secretly admonished himself, gathered his anger, smiled at Xining's back, and turned around and walked into the Fengtian Palace.

In the Fengtian Palace, according to the usual court rituals, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the hall. What is different from Chang Chaoyi is that Zhu Qiming, the prince, can also come by order, which makes many people in the palace quite confused.

The DPRK and China did not take the Miyun War seriously, why did they win this honor? With doubts in his stomach, Zhu Qiming went to the throne to salute, moved to stand in front of the Jiuqing train, and cast an inquiring glance at Yang Pu.

"The envoy of Warat has named him to see His Highness." Yang Pu said softly.

I see! Zhu Qiming had just been relieved, when he suddenly heard the sound of the waiter outside the door.

"The king of the North Warattobu sent an envoy to meet him!"

After the sound of the imperial attendants stopped, I saw five Warats dressed in captive clothes slowly entering, and bowed four times in front of the throne.

"At the behest of Your Excellency, my ministers came to make a pilgrimage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and offered 500 horses."

The titles of the two sides showed a clear difference, with the Ming chamberlain calling Totobuhua the "king", while the Warat envoys called the Totobuhua "Khan". In fact, Tokhoff is not spent in Warat is called "Dai Zong Khan", but he is not canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and is free from the Ming Dynasty's "tribute" system, and the Ming court is turning a blind eye to this, and over time, habits become natural.

According to the precedent of the Ming Dynasty in the past, any official position that was not awarded by the Ming court, the Ming Dynasty would add a "pseudo" word in front of its title, such as pseudo-Zuocheng, pseudo-Pingzhang, etc., and now the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards Wara is very different from that of the Tatars, which shows the helplessness of the Ming court.

"Flat."

The five of them got up, and a leader-like person bowed down and said: "My Khan has always admired Chinese etiquette articles, and he is very good at befriending the Ming Dynasty. Recently, I learned that His Majesty the Emperor ordered His Royal Highness the King of Yue to treat my Khan's subordinates well, and let more than 300 people who mistakenly broke into Miyun return by themselves. ”

Why didn't I see you tell me about this? The emperor glanced at Zhu Qiming, with a slight hint of blame in his eyes, and after a while, his face was full of excitement.

"Reward!"

Wang Zhen passed the decree: "In the fifteenth table of the king of color satin, there are ten tabby silks; Give his concubine ten tables of colored satin. Reward each of the five with 25 pieces of colored money and 5 pieces of colored satin. ”

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie! The minister retired. ”

The five of them took a few steps back, turned around and saluted Zhu Qiming, "See His Royal Highness King Yue." Then he walked out of the temple.

It's an unheard of miracle that you don't spend so much of your words! The officials made eye contact, and finally all of them set their eyes on Zhu Qiming's face, and most of them showed a look of appreciation in their eyes.

"The Taishi of the Northern Wara also sent the ministers to meet first!"

With a summons from the attendant in front of the door, he saw five more Tartars enter and went straight to the front of the royal platform to salute. These five people were different from the previous five, they all wore the crown robes given by the Ming Dynasty. This matter is not difficult to understand, and many of his leaders have accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, so they must uphold the courtesy of vassals.

"Our ministers were ordered by His Royal Highness to come to the Ming Emperor and offer 500 horses. Long live our emperor! ”

The sincerity of the envoys who took off the previous time made the young son of heaven very useful, and now the envoys who saw the first paid tribute to him with a strict courtesy, and the emperor was immediately happy, "Flat." ”

The five of them were flattened, and the first one said: "Your Majesty, the Warat tribes are used to being scattered, and King Jingshun is worried about this. Not long ago, someone trespassed on the Miyun realm, and His Majesty ordered His Royal Highness the King of Yue to lead the troops to teach those people a lesson. King Jingshun has strictly restrained his subordinates, and anyone who dares to offend the Ming Dynasty will be killed! ”

The emperor was overjoyed, "Reward!" ”

Wang Zhen said: "Ci Ye first color satin fifteen tables, tiger stripe silk ten horses; Give his wife ten tables of colored satin. Reward each of the five with 25 pieces of colored money and 5 pieces of colored satin. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my minister will retire."

The five of them took a few steps back, turned around and looked at Chaoban, and finally found Zhu Qiming, "See His Royal Highness King Yue." The Grand Master is looking forward to meeting His Highness one day and seeing His Highness's demeanor. ”

The five of them walked away, and all the officials in the hall were at a loss, and these prominent figures who were dominating the temple were ignored by the envoys of Warat, and they existed like air! However, the two groups of envoys were very respectful to a young prince who was supposed to be playing soy sauce, which made them faintly aware that the battle of Miyun was not as ordinary as it seemed on the surface!

It's peaceful again! The emperor's feelings at this moment are naturally much more sensitive than those of the hundred officials. "King Yue, I only care about rewarding the 5,000 Weisuo troops who went with you, but I forgot about the people in Yuefu, tell me, how should I reward them?"

Facing the emperor's extremely excited gaze, Zhu Qiming bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, Tang Ji and they are just guards, and if they are promoted to their officials, I am afraid that the little Yue Mansion will not be able to accommodate them." ”

The emperor laughed again and again, "That makes sense!" Make a note of their work and reward them later. The emperor was in a very good mood, and while glancing at the ministers, he said fairly: "Whether I lower my posture or swallow my anger, I have not been able to make Warat restrain himself." There is only one king of Yue, two expeditions, two miraculous feats, so that the Warat people come to serve with heavy coins, so I can't overstate how to reward the king of Yue! ”

Xining, who had just entered the hall, heard this, and her face was like a slap in the face, and her eyes were full of loneliness; Wang Zhen was slightly moved, and his face was cloudy; And Hu Hu and the others, who had said cool things before, were stunned for a while, embarrassed for a while.

The emperor obviously did not finish what he said, "King Yue, I said last year that you can do whatever you want, and this statement is still valid today. I heard that you entered the palace that day, and when you met the show girl, you went home? Eh, it doesn't have to be like this, it's still the same sentence, whoever you bump into is who! ”
