Chapter 485: The Great Army Returns
"Fourth Emperor Brother, you just promised your subordinates that as long as they win this Keju competition, you will reward them heavily, you have no jokes!" At this time, Zhu Song also walked out slowly, asking Zhu Di for the rewards of these Keju team members, "Brother Chen's hand here is a package ticket with Gao Sui, don't let Brother Chen lose his trust."

"You kid, you're everywhere." Zhu Di glared at Zhu Song angrily, and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't break my promise!" In this way, after today, you will pull out a list of the names of the entire Keju team, especially the players who have played, I must recognize these heroes of the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Hehe, father, the ministers there really want to thank you for those brothers." Zhu Gaosui was happy.
"When will you change your temperament when you see cheapness?" Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaosui angrily, and turned his head to look at the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire who were gloomy and watery not far away.
"Look at those guys." Zhu Di glanced over there and said, "Gao Sui, you go and call them over." ”
"Yes." Zhu Gaosui's guidance came to the main event, and after answering, he ran to the side of Eastern Rome.
After a short while, Zhu Gaosui led Jones and Weston, who looked ugly, over.
"Foreign Envoy Jones, I'm really embarrassed!" Zhu Di smiled lightly and looked at Jones, who was standing at the forefront, and said: "This third Keju competition is our Ming won again, I don't know if this time, the foreign envoy of Jones has been convinced?" ”
"Convincing, foreign ministers convincing!" Jones was stunned for a moment, then squeezed a few words out of his teeth.
For today's three competitions with Daming, Jones felt this grievance in his heart:
In the first game competition, people Daming produced a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy, and won his own gamer, but what about his own gamer? was directly arrested by the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty and entered the notorious edict prison.
What about the second competition? The singing girl in a restaurant in the neighborhood moved the entire meditation hall inexplicably, and even their own musicians cried out of the sky, and finally left the scene gloomily.
In the third and final competition, Da Ming directly gave them a light board, four to zero, the result of this kind of game, for the Eastern Roman envoys, it was simply a naked slap in the face!
In the three competitions, they did not win even a single one, especially in the last one, their Eastern Roman mission had already invested all the money in it, and they could now be said to be penniless, and they had to save some money when they went back.
"Okay, since the foreign envoy Jones is convinced, then I will go back to the palace." After watching a good show for a day, Zhu Di was very happy, "By the way, I have prepared dinner in the palace today, and the envoys will come to the palace for dinner." ”
"The foreign minister obeys!" Jones's face darkened, this is to gather together, open the mockery mode in front of everyone, he wants to shake his head and not go, but this thing doesn't have the courage to refuse, who is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
……
After dealing with the matter of Keju Field, everyone returned to Nanjing City from outside the city, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Hu and several other royal princes who had a good relationship with Zhu Song all came to the palace of King Han with Zhu Song.
"Husband, you're back, how is today's game?" As soon as they entered the mansion, Xu Miaojin greeted them.
"Auntie, you don't know, in today's three competitions, Eastern Rome lost so badly!" Zhu Huixuan, the little guy, had a happy face blooming, "Also, also, the third emperor brother has made a lot of money today." ”
"Brother Three Emperors?" Walking in front of everyone, Xu Miaojin frowned slightly, "Is it Gao Sui?" What does Gao Sui make? ”
"Gao Sui, this kid has opened three gambling games, the first two gambling games are okay, the odds are not much, but the third one!"
Zhu Song took over the conversation, glanced at Zhu Gaosui with a smile as he spoke, and said: "The odds of the third gambling game, this kid actually set a big odds of 1 to 50. Forget it, the people of Eastern Rome were angry after knowing this odds, and they actually placed a heavy bet! Later, the Eastern Roman Keju team also lost, do you think all the gold and silver were lost? Gao Sui's just this sum is enough for him to spend a lifetime! ”
"Hehe, Uncle Songhuang, you can't say that, my nephew is still keeping his hand!" Zhu Gaosui said proudly: "If it weren't for the fear of scaring away the Eastern Roman envoys, I would have set 1 to 80, 1 to 100!" ”
Hey, this kid is really crazy about money, the odds of 1 to 50 are high enough, this kid even wants to be 1 to 100, this odds, fools know that someone is making trouble behind their backs.
"1 to 50!" Xu Miaojin's beautiful eyes flickered, "Gao Sui, it seems that you really made a lot of money this time!" ”
"It's all small wealth, small wealth." Zhu Gaosui touched the back of his head, and with that cheap smile on his face, people wanted to beat him.
"Little fortune, huh?" Entering Chuhua Hall, Zhu Song lightly threw out a sentence: "Then give all your small wealth to Uncle Songhuang, Uncle Songhuang is very poor at the moment, no matter how rich or small he is, Uncle Songhuang is not too much." ”
"Don't, Uncle Songhuang." Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui's face turned green, "Uncle Songhuang, my nephew should prepare some other things for you, and leave the money to my nephew first, after all, my nephew's brothers in the mansion also have to raise them." ”
"You have to get it, you kid just sees money." Zhu Hu, who had just sat down, waved his hand again and again, "Do you think your Uncle Songhuang really wants your silver?" Look at you, just now you just opened your mouth and you refused bluntly, thanks to these years, your Uncle Songhuang has taken you well, if you put aside this king, you have to loosen your muscles! ”
"That's it, that's it." Zhu Zhanji also said with a sad face: "I have earned so much silver, and I still want to give me pocket money in the past, Uncle Sanhuang is a typical forgetting righteousness for profit, and he will beat a monk when he leaves the temple." ”
There was a crisp sound, and Zhu Gaoxu directly slapped Zhu Zhanji and said, "How can you kid talk to your Third Emperor Uncle?" I also saw that I forgot my righteousness, and I beat the monk when I left the temple, who did you learn from this? ”
"Second Emperor Uncle, why are you bullying me!" Zhu Zhanji quit, "Aren't I fighting for interests?" ”
Zhu Di's three sons, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi is humble and brilliant, but lacks some heroic spirit; The second son, Zhu Gaoxu, is both civil and military, but he can't be called a big man, and he can be regarded as a well-developed one; The third son, Zhu Gaosui, has extraordinary martial arts and involves the way of businessmen, and is the richest of the three brothers.
Therefore, this 'local tyrant' will often give some pocket money to the children of the two families.
This time, Zhu Gaosui had a large amount of gold and silver into his pocket, and he originally planned to take out one or two hundred thousand yuan from the bets he received to distribute them to these little guys, but now he was just teasing them.
"Okay, okay, the third uncle is afraid of you." Zhu Gaosui deliberately put on an expression of resignation, "Go back and count your number of uncles, and each of you will be allocated 10,000 taels of silver, and you will spend as you like, how about it?" ”
"Really, Uncle Three Emperors?" Zhu Zhanji immediately abandoned the depressed mood that Fang had just suffered, and his eyes were bigger than a light bulb, "Uncle Sanhuang, I know that you are the best for us, and you will definitely not ignore us." ”
"Gotta get it, you kid don't give me this set." Seeing the courteous Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaosui waved his hand again and again, "You, you are also a money-eyed bastard. Egg, Uncle I hope you little ones don't mess with me. ”
"Hehe, I'm here, I'm not doing this for your good, isn't it?" Zhu Zhanji touched the back of his head and laughed.
"Okay, let's rest first, wait a while, we still have to go into the palace, don't wait for the host and guest to arrive, we landlords, but we don't show up for a long time, what will the people of East Rome think of us?"
Seeing the appearance of the two uncles and nephews, Zhu Song also laughed, "Miaomiao, you go and arrange for the next person to prepare some melons and fruits, snacks, snacks and other things, this afternoon is also tiring enough." ”
"Husband, the concubine body has been prepared by the subordinates." Xu Miaojin nodded, and then clapped her hands
Immediately, there were people who brought delicious melons, fruits and snacks, and no one had such a portion in front of them.
Everyone is also really thirsty, and after the things are delivered, they will eat violently, where do they care so much.
……
Seven days have passed since the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Rome competition, and the competition on that day has become the talk of the people of Tianfu after dinner, and everyone who talks about it is smiling.
But today is different, the people no longer talk about it, but bring a lot of joy and anticipation.
Today is a special day, because the 100,000 Ming troops who went on an expedition to Annam are finally returning to the city.
No, early in the morning, Zhu Song was called up by Bai Fu, and hurriedly dressed and eaten.
There is no way, the army led by Xu Huizu has already returned to Jiaxing Mansion, that is, it will arrive in Nanjing City in two hours, and according to the advice of Zhu Song, Xie Jin and others, Zhu Di decided to let the subordinates prepare a guard of honor and go out of the city to greet them.
Of course, Zhu Di is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he will not go to meet the long army for ten miles, but he still has to have the appearance he should have, after all, the various ceremonial guards required for the Son of Heaven to go out of the city are very cumbersome, and the soldiers of the guards are responsible for the safety of the royal family and the civil and military ministers along the way, this is not child's play!
After a heated discussion, Zhu Di's closest people such as Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao, and Yang Rong discussed that the distance from the army was set three miles away, and a small pavilion was specially arranged for people to be built about three miles outside Nanjing, and Zhu Di and the civil and military ministers of the court greeted each other in the small pavilion.
Including where Zhu Di was, all the civil and military ministers, princes, and county kings all wore the robes of princes and county kings that they would only wear when the great court meeting in the past, and everyone went straight to the small pavilion.
Three miles outside the city, Zhu Di, dressed in a full costume and wearing a brand-new dragon robe, stood in the pavilion, and behind him were Zhu Song, Zhu Hu, Ji Gang, and Yao Guangxiao...... One by one, the waist pole is straight, and the eyes are looking straight ahead.
In addition, there is a stove in the middle of the small pavilion, which is very large, leading directly to the highest part of the pavilion, and the whole is heated by charcoal, although the pavilion is ventilated on all sides, but standing on the edge of this stove, you will not feel cold at all.
After all, it is approaching the wax moon at this moment, and although the weather in the south is not as cold as in the north, the weather is also quite cold. These people in the pavilion are all the top figures of the Ming Dynasty, the weather is cold, these gold lords have another cold, swing or something, isn't it worth the loss?
"Brother Song, it's freezing this day, why did you bring the little ones here? If the wind hurts, you will not be able to spare you. Seeing Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Huixuan and their little guys, their little faces were red from the cold, Zhu Di was a little anxious.
"Yes, Brother Song, it's approaching the wax moon now, the weather is very dry and cold, we adults are still in good health, I'm afraid it's hard for the little ones to survive!" Zhu Hu touched Zhu Huixuan's little face and said.
Zhu Song smiled faintly when he heard this, his two still thick black eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "Fourth Emperor Brother, Brother Lu, don't worry, these little guys have rough skin and thick flesh, how can they get sick so easily?" ”
"It's really sick, you kid won't say that." Zhu Di glared at Zhu Song, turned his head to look at Zheng He, and said, "Zheng He, you go and find a few pieces of big clothes and put them on for the little ones." ”
"Yes, long live!" Zheng He answered, turned around and headed in the direction of the carriage.
……
Far away from Nanjing City, an army as long as a dragon is slowly moving forward, and the leaders of this army are naturally Xu Huizu, Jin Zhong and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.
A group of high-ranking soldiers in the army were chatting as they walked, and this soldier in black armor came on horseback.
This place is still about ten miles away from Chang'an City, and as soon as Xu Huizu stretched out his hand, the army suddenly stopped.
"This person ...... Be? Seeing the person coming, Xu Huizu suddenly frowned, glanced at Zu Gao Chi on his side, and said, "Gao Chi, this person should be the guard in the palace, right?" Could it be that something happened in the city of Nanjing? ”
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said, "It looks like the dress should be a guard in the palace, but there shouldn't be any variables in the palace, right?" Forget it, forget it, let's go over and have a look! ”
As soon as the words landed, Xu Huizu and the others led a group of high-ranking people in the army to rush towards the black-armored guard.
"Little Zhang Huan has seen the generalissimo and His Royal Highness the Prince!" The black-armored guard turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and saluted Xu Huizu, Zhu Gaochi and the others.
Xu Huizu bowed slightly to the black-armored guard and said, "No need to be polite, get up!" ”
"Generalissimo Xie!" Zhang Huan stood up, suddenly reached into his arms, took out a bright yellow order flag, and said: "Generalissimo Xu Huizu, take the order!" ”
Xu Huizu glanced at Zhu Gaochi and them, bowed down and said, "Xu Huizu, please order!" ”
Zhang Huan said directly: "The generals threw their blood for my Ming Dynasty, fought bloodily on the battlefield to protect my Ming Dynasty, and I felt very guilty when I thought of the suffering of the kings!" Now set up a pavilion outside the city of Nanjing, welcome the generals to return to Nanjing, on meritorious deeds! ”
