PS: The second update is 18 o'clock

"Please incense His Royal Highness King Ming!" The master of ceremonies, standing on the side of the steps, shouted loudly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Taimiao under the General Mountain, the incense is long, and on both sides under the white marble steps, the red carpet spreads far away, and the soldiers in the front row are all ordinary holding red flags, and the word "Ming" embroidered with gold thread on the banner seems to have life in the wind.

The sun and the moon are bright, and the national prestige is like this!

Standing under the gate of the palace city opposite the Taimiao, Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, since the last time he worshiped Zhongshan on the Zhongyuan Festival, it has been almost a month since he participated in such a formal celebration, especially before this, Ye Yingwu also symbolically bathed and fasted for three days, even he himself admired that he was really able to persevere.

The heavy Twelve Sons of Heaven were worn on his head, dressed in a cumbersome and complicated red dragon robe with a black background, Ye Yingwu's face was not much better even if he thought about it. Although he has always claimed to be His Royal Highness the King of Ming, in fact, in the eyes of many civil and military officials, Ye Yingwu is no different from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that it is a major event that binds the lord of Annan to come to the dynasty and "cries ghosts and gods" and does not meet in three hundred years, so the Ministry of Rites, at the instigation of Chen Laoshangshu, directly prepared a full set of crowns for Ye Yingwu.

Even if Ye Yingwu doesn't agree, there is no way, our Ministry of Etiquette just has such a set of clothes, do you love to wear it!

Standing behind Ye Yingwu, Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie, as the commanders of the Imperial Forbidden Army, were all ordinary golden armor with their whole body draped, and their hands pressed on their swords, which were extraordinary, but compared with Ye Yingwu in front, they were inferior.

"See His Royal Highness King Ming!" The soldiers on both sides bowed respectfully at the same time as Ye Yingwu walked by, like undulating steel waves. And Ye Yingwu has experienced such a scene a lot, and he will not be as enthusiastic as when he first came, and he can't wait to find a platform to jump on it and raise his arms and shout, and take these good sons and daughters to fight with the Mongolian Tartars again.

Looking at the Taimiao in front of him without squinting, Ye Yingwu strode onto the high platform, the master of ceremonies had already prepared three sticks of incense, and carefully handed them to Ye Yingwu: "Your Highness, please." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded, took three sticks of incense, a gust of wind blew, with the slightest coolness in autumn, the sky was high and the clouds were light, today is a good day. Inserting the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, Ye Yingwu slowly closed his eyes and let the breeze stir his luxurious crown.

"Your Highness, please take a seat." The master of ceremonies stretched out his hand respectfully, and on the high platform not far from the Taimiao, there was already a row of seats, empty.

Dressed in a yellow phoenix robe, her hair was held by a golden hairpin, Lu Wanyan was already standing under the high platform, her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Yingwu without blinking, and she subconsciously reached out and gently stroked her bulging lower abdomen, as if she could feel the beating of life inside.

A warm smile swept up at the corner of his mouth, Ye Yingwu walked straight over and gently held Lu Wanyan's hand: "It's really hard for the lady to toss like this while she is pregnant with Liujia." ”

Since she was pregnant with a child, Lu Wanyan has become even more dignified, and she can even faintly feel the brilliance of motherhood on her pretty face, which is like the smart and lively girl Ye Yingwu knew before. However, having such a queen mother in the world is not a bad thing for Daming after all.

With a soft smile, Lu Wanyan subconsciously clenched Ye Yingwu's palm and didn't say a word.

The emperor and queen walked side by side on the high platform, and the left prime minister Wen Tianxiang, the right prime minister Su Liu Yi and the governor Lu Xiufu followed closely behind and sat under the emperor and queen, and even Ye Mengding, who has always lived in a simple place, also came on crutches this time, but compared with the past, Ye Mengding, who has always been in good spirits, looks much older today, or since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the biological father of the former prime minister and His Royal Highness the Ming Dynasty, who is always full of fighting spirit in his eyes, is getting older.

This time, Ye Mengding had an extra figure around him who carefully supported him, it was the daughter of the Ye family, the lady of the Zhang family, and Ye Yingji was wearing an orthodox Ming official uniform, following Ye Mengding, and responding at any time.

Ye Yingwu bowed slightly at his father, brother and sister who were seated, and his eyes fell directly on the master of ceremonies. Although it seems a little unruly to know that Ye Mengding's whole family goes into battle, but after all, this is still their royal business, and the royal etiquette is originally Ye Mengding's big sect has the final say, so the master of ceremonies took two steps forward with his head down, and shouted loudly:

"Prisoner sacrifice begins!"

The elegant ritual music of the original Jiaofang Division gradually subsided, and several soldiers quickly lifted the dust cloth on the cowhide drums on both sides of the temple, and two strong men with bare bodies stood in front of the drum with drum hammers. As a bell rang from the city gate not far away, the two big men picked up the drum hammer in their hands at the same time and slammed it on the big drum.

The bells were melodious, the drums were shocking, and the armor warrior standing under the Taimiao Temple faced the direction where Ye Yingwu was, and at the same time raised the spear in his hand, and then slammed it on the ground, and the tail of the spear made of metal made a sonorous sound on the ground. The soldiers standing on both sides of the road with various ritual weapons in their hands lined up at the same time, and countless blades flashed dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Chen Huang, who was wearing a gray cloth prison robe, slowly walked out of the city gate, and at the moment when the sun shone on his face, the king of Annan at the beginning, just subconsciously squinted his eyes, and behind him, Chen Guojun, who was slowly following, said lightly:

"It's been a great day."

Chen Huang wanted to look at the place where Ye Yingwu was, but all he saw was the sea of blades and the shining sun, and all that echoed around him was the roaring sound of bells and drums: "Maybe this Taimiao prisoner sacrifice is the best treatment we have received for so many days." ”

In the past few days, they have been escorted in the prison car and traveled north, but the Ming army generals who escorted them still did not forget the desire of the barbarian people to hunt for curiosity, and there were probably more than ten state capital towns along the way, and everywhere they went, the people were waiting on the streets, but they were not eating pot pulp to welcome the king, but trying to throw the rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in their hands to the people in the prison car.

Three hundred years, since the former Song Dynasty three hundred years, there has never been a challenge to the power of China and was destroyed, the capture of the Taimiao, the weakness of China and the Han and Tang dynasties are no longer strong, has made many surrounding feudal states arrogant, and even many former Song merchants overseas, will also encounter unfair treatment and oppression.

It was not until this time that the Ming soldiers swept away Ping'an Nan in a battle, and only then did they announce to the world that Huaxia was still that Huaxia, or the Han and Tang Empires that everyone had to prostrate!

Three hundred years of sleep, three hundred years of humiliation, this is the end!

"Less verbose!" The escort guards behind pushed the two of them hard, and Chen Huang stumbled on his feet, but he still stood firmly and walked forward slowly.

And Chen Guojun didn't say more, just looked at the monarch in front of him, shook his head and sighed secretly.

He now doesn't know whether he hurt Annan and Chen Huang, if it wasn't for Chen Huang's own ambitions, I'm afraid Chen Guojun wouldn't have thought of really starting a war against Daming.

But now it's too late, and the king is defeated. In an instant, Chen Guojun remembered that his own daughter, who was charged into the Teaching Workshop Division and whose whereabouts were unknown, and his youngest son was directly sent to the Academy, Chen Guojun knew very well that his young child, in a place like the Academy that preached Chinese civilization and even bordered on brainwashing people, would completely erase the little hatred in his son's heart, and make him a tool for the Ming Dynasty to further control Nanyang in the future.

Kneeling down under the high platform in a daze, Chen Huang and Chen Guojun both lowered their heads at the same time.

And on the high platform, Ye Yingwu's eyes flashed with a hint of gratification. Chen Huang and Chen Guojun, the two Ming monarchs and war gods who had given Kublai Khan a headache again and again in history and killed the Yuan army to a river of blood, were finally defeated by their youth and vigor, and also defeated by the light enemy.

Outsiders can't see how difficult Annan is, but Ye Yingwu knows it, especially in the later battle of Langshan, the Jingjiang army was almost wiped out, if it wasn't for the water division to rush to the end of the overall situation, I'm afraid this southern expedition would really end in a tiger.

Chen Guojun still has some ability under the fame, and he will definitely be a tricky guy in time.

It's a pity that Ye Yingwu didn't give him a chance to grow.

The official Shangshu Wang Yao had slowly stood up, unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and read it with a glance: "His Royal Highness King Ming's edict said: Annan Yuer is a small country, partial to the southwest, originally a subject country of the former Song Dynasty and the Ping Domain of China. The Ming Dynasty inherited the mantle of the Son of Heaven in the sky, and was ordered to conquer the Quartet in order to promote the prestige of the ****. His Royal Highness has not been on the throne for a long time, remembering the ignorance of Annan, with a compassionate heart to forgive Chen Huang, the lord of Annan, and the general Chen Guojun should be held responsible. ”

Chen Huang and Chen Guojun's mouths showed a wry smile, the disobedience was the title given to Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty by Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of Song Yizu three hundred years ago, and the implied humiliation is self-evident, and the Yelang Uncle given to Chen Guojun is even too lazy to have a basic cover-up, and it is clear that he wants to satirize Chen Guojun's arrogance!

But even so, the two are already content. Under the nest, Annan has finished his eggs, Annan has died, as the two people who once attacked Daming, they can save their lives, they are already thankful, as for what comeback, it is unthinkable.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Both shouted at the same time.

Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, sat on the chair and didn't move: "Get up." ”

Seeing that Chen Huang and Chen Guojun, who had lost their souls, were escorted back, Ye Yingwu said softly: "They are the first kings to surrender at the feet of Da Ming, but I believe that this is definitely not the last. ”

Lu Wanyan glanced sideways at Ye Yingwu in some surprise, and muttered: "A good man should be ambitious in all directions, since Liu Jiagang came back, there has been a pot of porridge in the harem, and the husband is determined to inspect Nanyang at this time?" ”

After a moment of silence, Ye Yingwu replied in a low voice: "Nanyang, after all, I still have to take a look, and after defeating the Northern Mongolian Tartars in the future, after the Ming Dynasty dominates the world, it will inevitably be complicated, and if a certain really becomes the co-lord of the world, it is impossible for Yushitai to release people, not to mention that now that Nanyang is predetermined, my brother-in-law must go all out to deal with Zhenla, and it is indeed necessary to have another person to coordinate the overall situation, and instead of sending out all the ministers in the court, it is better to go in person." ”

Seeing that Lu Wanyan didn't answer, Ye Yingwu gently grabbed Lu Wanyan's slightly trembling hand: "Wan'er, not only to be able to make the Ming Dynasty's rule in Nanyang as stable as Mount Tai, but also to help our children and see what he will sit on in the future." ”

"How do you know it's a boy?" At the mention of the child, two blushes flew on Lu Wanyanqiao's face, she lowered her head slightly, and glanced at Ye Yingwu with a smile.

"It's not a boy, then let's continue to have a baby." Ye Yingwu said with a big grin, clenching Lu Wanyan's slender hand, "One is not enough, then give birth to two, and there will definitely be a day when a boy is born." When the time comes, this country will not be his country. ”

There were faint tears rolling in her eyes, Wan Niang subconsciously looked at Ye Yingwu, and muttered: "Husband, why do you want to treat the concubine like this, you must know that the Lu family was ······ at the beginning"

Ye Yingwu chuckled: "I love you as a person, not the Lu family behind you, that's all." A small Lu family in Zhenjiang Mansion, who was not in the eyes of a certain person at the beginning, is now just an ant that can be played with at any time, what's the big deal. ”

The drumming gradually subsided, and the two downcast figures finally disappeared into the shadows of the city gate. Ye Yingwu exhaled, stood up and carefully supported Lu Wanyan and walked towards the audience. And the civil and military officials also stood up respectfully at this time, and bowed respectfully in the direction where the emperor left:

"The ministers send off the king and princess of Ming."

Ye Yingwu waved his hand lightly, and whispered to Liang Yanwu beside him: "Yixuan, let the three prime ministers, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry come to meet later." I want to discuss with them the promotion of potato planting, as well as the various matters of this southern tour. ”

Liang Yanwu nodded and solemnly bowed his hand to Ye Yingwu.

————————————————————————————-

"This southern tour is not just to pacify the South Seas." Ye Yingwu looked around at a few slightly lonely figures standing in the hall, and said, "Since ancient times, the contract pays attention to the word 'letter', even the Mongolian Tatars understand this truth, so until the right moment, Kublai Khan will not easily tear up the contract, and even as long as the Ming Dynasty does not attack, Inner Mongolia will not make any big moves in the past few years, so if we want to find a sufficient reason for the Northern Expedition in the future, we must induce the Mongolian Tatars to stir up trouble." ”

After a pause, Ye Yingwu continued: "We want to know the reality of Mongolia, and why didn't Kublai Khan want to know the reality of the Ming Dynasty, so if we want Mongolia to take the lead in stirring up trouble, the easiest way is to test each other between the two sides." If Mongolia goes overboard, it will give us a handle. And now that the Ming Dynasty has gathered heavy troops in Lianghuai and Nanjing, the Mongolian Tartars know the fate of provoking the Ming Dynasty even if they have enough guts, but if they learn that a certain person is going south to inspect, it is not so easy for them to hold it down, so if they want to fight with Annam last time, Mongolia could not hold back, and this time I am afraid it will not be so easy to bear. ”

"Your Highness's intentions, the minister understands, and please rest assured that as long as His Highness gives an order, the front-line armies can teach the Mongolian Tartars a lesson at any time." Su Liuyi said in a deep voice, "It's just that His Royal Highness's southern tour this time, is there something inappropriate, after all, Nanyang is undecided, Zhenla still has a sailor nowhere to be seen, and Zhancheng wants to seek independence from the battle between Daming and Zhenla, if the battle situation is chaotic, His Royal Highness's southern tour is inevitably too risky, and please think twice." ”

Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The chaos in the South Seas is already difficult to deal with with just a few generals on the front line, and the reason why a certain person wants to tour the south is that he needs to calm the chaos in the South Seas with his own hands. Since ancient times, Nanyang has been beyond the reach of the Chinese whip, but with the frequent coming and going of maritime trade, the Ming can no longer sit back and watch many small countries in the South Seas fight in chaos, and it is time to turn the South Seas into the back garden of the Ming Dynasty. Nanyang is located between Guangnan and the West, there are many throat arteries, no matter how far the Ming Dynasty advances or retreats, relying on the Nanyang can be calm, in addition, a certain southern tour, there are two things, one is to see Quanzhou, the economic and trade lifeline of the Ming Dynasty, the other is to take a walk to the land of Yizhou, after all, Yizhou is the first overseas land occupied by the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi and the others glanced at each other, and said respectfully: "Your Highness's meaning, the ministers understand. ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "This southern tour, the car is simple and simple, and there is no need to be extravagant. In addition, I will tell you about Nanjing, don't let me down, of course, don't let Kublai Khan 'disappointment'. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured." Wen Tianxiang said loudly.

Exhaling lightly, Ye Yingwu subconsciously looked outside the main hall.

Kublai Khan, if you didn't leave, you didn't come, but now you pat your ass and leave, but you have to see if you have the courage and ability. Winter is getting closer and closer, the bitter cold of the north and the iron walls of the south, I don't know which one you plan to choose? (To be continued.) )
