The first year of might, March.

When the spring flowers were blooming, when Zhu Chenhao made a pilgrimage, he personally led hundreds of officials out of the capital for ten miles to welcome Tang Bohu, the victorious Jingnan Gong.

When Tang Bohu led 5,000 horsemen out of the pass and defeated the news of the Jurchen 50,000 coalition army, after returning to the capital, not only the people cheered, but the government and the opposition were even more boiling.

You must know that there are many dynasties in history that can unify Kyushu, and the dynasties that can conquer foreign races outside the Guanxi are only the Han and Tang dynasties. Now the Ming Dynasty has also achieved this feat, and all the important ministers in the court have a feeling of being born in a prosperous era and winning together.

The rivers and lakes are even more dumb.

If before, Zhou Xingzu just relied on his strong strength to become the first master.

That's actually nothing, after all, there are talented people in the rivers and lakes......

In the past few decades, there will always be so many demons who have become masters in the rivers and lakes.

Xiao Li Feidao and his mother, Zhang Sanfeng's grandfather, and even Xiao Li Tanhua are actually this kind of characters.

It's scary, but it's not impossible.

But now with the exploits of defeating foreign races outside the pass with 5,000 horsemen, Zhou Xingzu has completely become a monument on the rivers and lakes.

For hundreds of years, no one can beat it.

Even Guo Jing, the Northern Hero who previously ranked first in "Jianghu Heroes", was a little unworthy in front of Zhou Xingzu's exploits.

Zhou Xingzu straddled the black horse, wrapped a jade belt around his waist, and wore a national python suit, walking on the pipeline without hurry. Behind him were a hundred cavalry captains, all of whom had a smug look on their faces, and their faces were full of pride.

At this time, it has been more than a month since he returned to the customs, and after resting in Shanhaiguan for a few days, Zhou Xingzu took a group of subordinates back to Beijing, and all the stalls were scattered along the way, and the road was nearly a month, and then he could reach outside the capital.

After receiving the good news, the mighty emperor had already ordered people to spread this skill to the world. and issued three holy decrees in a row to reward the heroes of this war. Almost all of the people who survived, such as Shenglian, were promoted to knighthood and were seriously injured.

Only Zhou Xingzu didn't have a reward, which made people a little funny.

Some people say that he is a mighty emperor, and he is afraid of his high achievements. It was already a dukedom, but now there is nothing to be rewarded. There is also gossip circulating that the mighty emperor intends to crown him king when he returns to Beijing, and anyway, he has said everything in private.

Zhou Xingzu didn't think too much about this, anyway, what kind of urine Zhu Chenhao was, he had already figured it out.

Whether it is crowned or not.

After all, he has to go through a scene with Zhu Chenhao.

"Grandpa, Your Majesty is already leading hundreds of officials and waiting outside the Ten Mile Pavilion." A big eunuch came to Zhou Xingzu's side in advance and reminded him quietly.

Although he is the new palm seal eunuch in the palace, he is also a close confidant of the mighty emperor, before the change, he was the governor of Dongchang, and his position of power is overwhelming. But don't say that the East Factory has long been banned now, even if the East Factory is still there, he doesn't dare to embarrass the uncle Jing Nangong.

Who doesn't know that Dongchang was single-handedly exterminated by him, and the eunuchs he killed with his own hands are probably more than the eunuchs in the palace now.

So this big eunuch's posture is very in place, and he really treats himself as a slave.

Zhou Xingzu didn't think about it so much, nodded casually, and continued to ride his horse forward, and it didn't take long for his subordinates to come down to the outside of the Ten Mile Pavilion.

I saw the mighty emperor wearing a dragon robe, standing in the middle of the palace road, surrounded by water and clear roads, and there were many armor soldiers. The hundred officials in the court followed behind the emperor. At the moment he saw Zhou Xingzu, the mighty emperor bowed down: "I welcome Jing Nangong back to Beijing with a great victory." ”

"There is Jing Nangong, it is the bitterness of me, the hardship of the country, and the hardship of the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

The mighty emperor had a solemn face and was meticulous in his luggage.

The hundreds of officials of the court and the central government standing behind him all knelt on the ground: "Welcome Jing Nangong to return to Beijing with a great victory." ”

Zhou Xingzu hurriedly dismounted, bowed down in front of the mighty emperor, and said humbly: "The ministers are ordered to go out of the customs, and it is all thanks to Your Majesty's decisive victory in the sky." ”

After all, this is in ancient times, and although I am not happy in my heart, the courtesy of the military ministers that should be guarded still has to be made.

The emperor personally went out of the city to greet him, which was already a great honor for the courtiers, and there was no reason to accept this gift. Otherwise, no matter how great the merit is, it will be wiped out by the historian.

"Good, good."

The mighty emperor helped Zhou Xingzu up, said three good words in a row, took his hand, walked in front of the hundred officials, walked ten miles, and returned to the capital street.

Along the way, there were already countless people with good deeds, standing by the streets, cheering for the returning heroes.

Many young girls in Huaichun, after seeing the graceful Jing Nangong in a brocade robe, couldn't help but blush on their cheeks.

If he is handsome and young, and he is a grandfather of the country, he is really the one in history.

The powerful women in the Great Wall were proud of pursuing the grandfather of the country for a while, and the waste paper that Zhou Xingzu threw out of the door at the beginning had been copied to 10,000 taels of gold, but it was still priceless, not to mention the picture scroll that came out earlier.

Now the birth of a volume of Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting on the rivers and lakes is enough to cause a bloody storm, because I don't know who came out, among Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings, there is a peerless secret of becoming a master of Huajin.

When Zhou Xingzu heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little confused.

Why doesn't he know about his own paintings?

The girls in the capital want to chase the "star", so they can only start from the daily sundries, and it is said that the most items that flow into the boudoir are the underwear worn by the grandfather!

And don't look at Zhou Xingzu and Zhu Chenhao now, walking side by side in the street, talking and laughing, and making the people of the world look like they are suitable for the monarchs and ministers. But in private, Zhu Chenhao was extremely aggrieved in his heart.

I have to say that Zhou Xingzu did give him a great credit.

Under this achievement, Zhu Chenhao won the hearts of the people of the world in a blink of an eye, and he could ensure the peace of the Ming frontier for decades.

But he didn't want it!

At the beginning, Zhu Chenhao's attention was to let Zhou Xingzu and the Jurchen clan lose and be injured.

Unexpectedly, what came in the end was a great victory......

Thinking about it carefully, he was able to successfully raise troops because he relied on Zhou Xingzu's strength all the way, and Zhou Xingzu Hai controlled the strongest violent organ of the Ming Dynasty.

After accumulating one by one, he has no reward for Zhou Xingzu.

"You must be crowned king!"

Zhu Chenhao sighed.

Wanting to eradicate Zhou Xingzu in one go is obviously unrealistic.

But it is impossible not to reward this great achievement, otherwise everyone in the world will laugh at him, he is a narrow-minded emperor.

can only be crowned king first, and then slowly draw it.

However, when he was crowned king, it was a good way to override Zhou Xingzu's authority and remove his wings one by one.

……

The first year of might, the end of March.

The mighty emperor issued a decree at the court meeting, and promoted the duke of Tang Bohu to a prince and named the "King of Annan", and his fief was in Quanzhou Mansion in southern Fujian.

The Great Hall of the King was held three days later, and the decree spread throughout the world.

Tang Bohu, the king of Annam, thus became the first "king with a different surname" since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
