The Longwan Wharf on the northwest river side of Jinling began to prepare yesterday, and today, once again, the army Xuanang once again hunted with flags, and the people who came to watch the triumph of General Chang Da also turned into a sea of people, which could not be counted.

People are still focused, and Zhu Biao, who is under the support of the elite, finds that he likes this feeling very much.

The stars hold the moon.

Perhaps, in the future, there will be a ...... Reign supreme in the world.

It's what power tastes like.

The young man who had been sent by his father to meet him was intoxicated when a large ship of 2,000 materials slowly approached the shore under the operation of many slender men and oarsmen.

Seeing the bright yellow flag dancing in the wind on the big boat, Zhu Biao became inexplicably nervous.

Since I was a child, I have heard a lot about General Chang's bravery and good fighting, killing people like hemp, and my father will occasionally praise him when he is interested, which also leads to the fact that even if General Chang is very good to him, Zhu Biao still unconsciously has some awe.

So much so that later, after gradually becoming sensible, he learned that he had a baby kiss, the daughter of General Changda, Zhu Biao did not have the slightest discomfort in his marriage arranged by his parents, but felt that it was very good.

The big ship smoothly docked, and Zhu Biao also cheered up.

It's just that I can't help but think that the current Ming Dynasty is the founding of the country, and I am now the prince, and later, I have been calling 'uncle' since I was a child...... Do you bow to yourself?

Or is it as casual as it used to be?

The big boat stopped and the gangplank was set up, and Zhu Biao soon saw a familiar figure in armor stepping on the gangplank, followed by some other civil and military officials wearing armor or robes.

General Chang appeared, not only Zhu Biao raised his breath again, but the surrounding people all set off a sound of discussion.

General Xu, General Chang, and the two generals of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that the Xia country in Shu, the danger of water and land on all sides, the birds are difficult to cross, Li Taibai had the feeling of "difficult to go to the blue sky", but General Chang only took one month, he killed the Xia monarchs and ministers were all broken, and they did not dare to fight, and directly opened the city and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

What a brave man.

At that moment, I finally saw the real person, although it was far away, but I only felt that it was really a character like a martial artist!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chang Yuchun took a group of subordinates to the shore, and under the soft guidance of the bowed officer, they lined up slightly, saluted a certain young man in Ben uniform, and took the lead and said loudly: "The minister Chang Yuchun has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Seeing these Wenchen generals saluting him, Zhu Biao paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered how his father treated these brotherly subordinates on weekdays, and in a blink of an eye, he hurriedly stepped forward to personally help Chang Yuchun up, and said in the tone of the time he used to get along: "Uncle Chang is fighting hard, so you don't need to be polite." In the past year, Biao'er can always hear Uncle Chang's successive victories in Jinling, and while he is happy, he is inevitably worried about the danger of the battle, but fortunately, Uncle Chang is finally victorious, and Biao'er is also relieved. ”

Chang Yuchun got up with the boy's strength, and was grabbed by His Royal Highness the Prince's big hand, so he gently shook it back, and his heart was also warm.

This kid ...... It's quite like the lord, so he smiled and said: "Your Highness, it is the duty of a minister to fight, and it is fortunate not to be disgraced in the spring." Scold...... Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a year, but I have grown taller and more handsome. ”

Zhu Biao also smiled: "There, Uncle Chang is Yingwu." ”

The two ministers talked about it, and the ceremonial officer waited patiently for a moment before stepping forward again and reminding him in a low voice.

So the formal process began.

Serve wine.

Dance.

Played.

Simple yet complex, all meticulous.

Because we all know that this is courtesy, and if you don't respect and don't care about this kind of courtesy, you don't care about your disrespect.

In this way, for nearly half an hour, the crown prince, hundreds of officials, sergeants, and even the prisoners of Xia who were escorted from Shu took all kinds of vehicles and ships to the imperial city.

In the imperial city in the east of Jinling City, it has also been solemnly waiting since yesterday.

Inside and outside the noon gate where the general played the right, the flags, honor guards, and bands were all repeatedly and carefully rehearsed, and as far as the eye could see, there was solemnity in the celebration.

Zhu Yuan had not yet arrived in the imperial city, and he was close to Shen Zheng at the moment, and he had been waiting for more than an hour.

The ceremonial official reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived at Chengtianmen to greet General Chang, and Lao Zhu, who had been waiting for a long time, took Zhu Yuan and several other important ministers out of the East Pavilion.

After coming to the noon gate, Lao Zhu did not follow the guidance of the ceremonial official to go up the floor, but waited in the city gate cave.

Everyone can only follow.

Soon, a group of figures appeared in view.

Zhu Yuan stood on the right hand side behind Lao Zhu, with a good field of vision, and at a glance he saw a military general in uniform beside a certain young man in Ben uniform, with a burly figure and slender arms, obviously Chang Yuchun.

Zhu Yuan knows that Chang Yuchun is good at shooting, coupled with infinite strength, and the strength of the bow and arrow...... Well, definitely well over 1.8 joules.

It's a humanoid weapon.

No matter how close you get, you can see the face, there is no imaginary resolute edge and corner of the general, but a very easy-going oval face, about forty years old, with a mustache and a smile at the corner of the mouth.

And so on until noon.

The ceremonial officer reminded him to go upstairs again, and before he finished speaking, Lao Zhu had already walked out of the noon gate quickly, and quickly smiled and grabbed the arm of the Ai Jiang who was about to bow down, and began to reminisce.

The emperor did this, and everyone stepped forward again.

As for the etiquette or not, His Majesty the Emperor is so genuine, this is the greatest courtesy.

Zhu Yuan still followed Lao Zhu, listening to the old words of the monarch and the minister, who were quite numb to each other, and only felt that it was no wonder that Lao Zhu could be the emperor.

Emotional intelligence only.

Super high!

Lao Zhu said a few words to Chang Yuchun, and also pulled the love general, turned his head to greet Li Shanchang first, and then turned to Zhu Yuan: "Yuchun, I'm afraid you also want to see it early, this is Yuan'er, heh, don't look at his thin body, this is the mind of governing the country and the country...... Hey, or maybe it's all grown into a mind......"

Zhu Yuan's emotional intelligence is not bad, and he rushed to give a salute first: "Yuan'er has seen General Chang, the general is famous in front of the battle, the kid has heard a lot, and ......his heart yearns for it."

Chang Yuchun subconsciously stepped forward and picked up a young boy who had also heard about it for a long time, last year in Shandong, he happened to be out with the troops, and he didn't meet it, and this miss was a year.

It's a pity.

helped Zhu Yuan, Chang Yuchun wanted to return the gift, but was pulled by the old Zhu Qiang, so he was not reluctant, while looking, he smiled heartily: "I have already felt a lot of Pingzhang talent in the army, and I still think that the lord has a good talent to assist, but I don't think about it, but it is the lord's family." ”

Lao Zhu loved to hear this, and then smiled: "Yes, I didn't think about it, it was a family." ”

Zhu Yuan smiled and agreed, and couldn't help but feel that his usual emotional intelligence was ...... It's not bad!

These few short sentences sound simple, but they praise themselves and Lao Zhu, and they will not make Li Shanchang and others, who have been assisting their own master for many years, uncomfortable. After all, Zhu Yuan is the Zhu family, and everything should be done, and it is also the right thing to do better.

I remember reading Chang Yuchun's biography, in addition to all kinds of bravery, Zhu Yuan also noticed one of the comments.

Good at soothing soldiers.

These are a few simple words, but in fact, they are not simple at all.

To be able to get a similar evaluation, in addition to being the first to set an example in the battle formation, it is also very necessary to get along with subordinates on a daily basis.

If you don't have some personal charm from your own personality that can make people feel good, and you just put on a show, you are taking others for fools.

So, in order to do this, first of all, it is a little bit more.

Emotional intelligence!

Just like some people, even if they don't speak, just some details of their actions can make the person they get along with feel very comfortable.

Zhu Yuan is not the point today, Lao Zhu pulled the love general to say a word to him, and then turned to the other courtiers.

Zhu Yuan accompanied him, not forgetting to look at the others.

Behind Chang Yuchun, Tu Xiao, who had not been seen for a long time, was wearing a three-grade civil official peacock supplement uniform, which was quite eye-catching in a group of armored generals.

Seeing that Mr. finally looked over, Tu Xiao, who was obviously much darker and thinner, smiled and nodded, and Zhu Yuan also smiled and bowed.

I can't talk for the time being.

Lao Zhu pulled Chang Yuchun and talked to the ministers for a while, and the ceremonial officials, who had been carefully reminded twice, stepped forward for the third time, and His Majesty the Emperor and Ai Jiang reluctantly parted temporarily and turned to the Wumen Tower.

Before the noon gate.

Chang Yuchun also came to the position of the main general under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, and a series of civil and military generals and ministers who went out to fight behind him lined up in order, with the left and the right.

On the floor of the noon gate, the old Zhu who was also dressed in a suit stood proudly, a little back, on the left was His Royal Highness the Prince, on the right was Li Shanchang, and Zhu Yuan was standing beside the Prince, and other civil and military forces also had their own ranks.

After the formation on both sides was completed, the first drum music also sounded.

In the music, Zhu Yuan looked down.

Downstairs on the noon gate floor, Chang Yuchun is in the middle of the head, flanked by civil and military officials, and on the side of the Chinese official, headed by Tu Xiao who has just been seen, this kid is also beautiful.

Let's talk about the generals.

After Chang Yuchun, because of the large number of people, they were lined up in two rows.

is the first two, one is the deputy governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion of Zheng Erpin, who is one of the deputies who often meet spring and enter Shu. The other is Xue Xian, the same Zheng Erpin, whose official position is the right Cheng of Jiangxi Province.

Gu Shi was one of the twenty-four generals of Huaixi who followed Lao Zhu first, but because there were not too many deeds worth talking about, Zhu Yuan was not impressed.

It's Xue Xian, who once commented that Lao Zhu was a fierce general who could stand alone like Fu Youde.

After often dying early, if you want to talk fiercely, you have to count Fu Youde.

Later, the combination of Feng Sheng and Fu Youde was similar to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in the early years.

Xue Xianneng compares with Fu Youde, and his bravery can also be imagined.

However, in the three years of Hongwu, although he was named the Marquis of Yongcheng, because of the indiscriminate killing, Xue Xian was not only compressed, but also demoted to Qiongzhou.

However, it was only for a year.

Lao Zhu quickly remembered this beloved general again, recalled him again, and not only restored Yulu, but also gave him the Danshu iron coupon he deserved.

Zhu Yuan thinks that this matter of indiscriminate killing may be ...... There are reasons for this, but, there may be others.

For example, Zhang Huan.

Right.

Or Zhang Huan.

Little pioneer Zhang Huan.

This person who left several strokes in the history books of the early Ming Dynasty was almost as old as Zhu Yizi and finally had no results.

When Xu Da broke the capital, he specially arranged for Zhang Huan to guard the treasury of the Yuan Dynasty, and in a handwritten letter handed down by Lao Zhu to future generations, there were also words that let the little pioneer Zhang Huan inspect the horses and draw a charge, which shows trust and closeness.

However, in the second year of Hongwu, the battle of Qingyang, which triggered the entire north, at the beginning, Zhang Liangchen surrendered, Xu Da sent Xue Xian and Zhang Huan to surrender together, Zhang Liangchen surrendered and rebelled, and attacked Xue Xian and Zhang Huan, as a result, Xue Xian was wounded and fled, and Zhang Huan was captured.

After that, there was no record of Zhang Huan, and there was a high probability that he was killed.

In the eyes of other people, such as Lao Zhu, this matter is another picture.

In the face of the deception, Xue Xian did not struggle to save people, and fled by himself, but regarded Lao Zhu as Zhang Huan like a godson...... Fold in Qingyang.

Can you not be angry?

However, this kind of thing is an accident, and it cannot be regarded as a fault, so you can only find excuses from other things.

However, Lao Zhu still had a conscience, punished Xue Xian, and sent Qiongzhou for a year, probably thinking about it, he felt that it shouldn't be like this, and his anger disappeared, so he was recalled again, and everything that should be given was given.

Xue Xian died a good death, died in Hongwu for 20 years, and posthumously sealed the Duke of Yongguo, called 'Huan Xiang'.

The ground service is far away and is called 'Huan', and the armor is called 'Xiang'.

It was also the time for Xue Xian to die, and in the twenty-third year of Hongwu after that, Hu Weiyong's case recurred, although he chased Hu Dang, but because he was dead, he would not be investigated, and his family should be preserved.

This time, history has changed.

Without the protracted battle of Qingyang, the little pioneer Zhang Huan is still alive, and the current people are in Dadu and by Xu Da's side.

But......

Calculating the time, compared with the three years of Hongwu in the past, if the big seal is carried out next year, Zhang Huan's exploits are not enough to seal the marquis.

Maybe a lot of people aren't enough.

Just like in the past, Hongwu was sealed for three years, and among the several righteous sons of Lao Zhu, even He Wenhui, who was in a higher rank, was not only the same 'Wen' character as Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, but also guarded Henan at that time, and the official to the second rank of Henan Province Zuo Cheng and Henan Commander Envoy, who was closer than Mu Ying, who came later, but failed to be crowned marquis.

He Wenhui later died unexpectedly early, and the next few big seals have left nothing to say.

It was Mu Ying, who came from behind.

Life is really unpredictable.

When Zhu Yuan's thoughts were flying, the triumphal ceremony of the deputy general Chang Yuchun was still continuing.

After the procession, the music ended.

Chang Yuchun led the generals and ministers to make a big salute according to the process.

Then the ceremonial officer began to recite a statement containing a series of exploits of the generals who had fought abroad, similar to a report on the achievements of the generals.

After reading the text, it was a stylized monarch and a minister who asked right.

Probably His Majesty the Emperor on the city tower said that the general was fighting hard, Balabala, and the general under the city said that it was not hard and not hard, Balabala.

At the end of the question, play the music again.

It's a long piece of Kaile with a dance.

Kaile lasted more than half an hour, and after it was over, it was another big show.

Sacrifice of prisoners at noon.

Regarding this matter, the hundred officials also had a request before, saying that they should let Ming Sheng, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, like Meng Chang in the Song Dynasty, kowtow outside the noon gate and bow down.

Lao Zhu rejected the courtier's request on the grounds that Mingsheng was young and decided to make a decision, and instead asked the minister of Xia Guo to take the blame instead.

And then there's now.

Chang Yuchun and other generals temporarily retreated, and turned to serious drum music, and a well-dressed elite general escorted the civil and military ministers of the Xia State wearing thin prison clothes to come slowly.

Outside the noon gate, they were still arranged in order, the music stopped, and in the singing of the ceremonial officials, the civil and military ministers of the Xia State knelt down together and pleaded on the ground.

Zhu Yuan paid more attention to the first three people.

Liu Zhen, the right minister of the Xia State, Dai Shou and Situ Wu Youren, these are the three giants who previously controlled the Xia dynasty.

Because he has been paying attention to the situation in Shuzhong, Zhu Yuan also knows that the attitudes of the three of them are different towards the surrender of Daming.

According to the feedback from the previous contact, the attitude of the right minister Liu Zhen is very vague.

Liu Zhen is the same as Qian Yongren, the secretary of the Ming Rite Department, who was also born in the former Yuan Jinshi, and was courteous by Ming Yuzhen at the beginning, and sat all the way to the right minister of the Xia Kingdom, the first Wenchen, and was called the 'Zhuge Kongming' of Ming Xia by the government and the opposition.

Such a person has a vague attitude, and that's right.

Zuo Prime Minister Dai Shou was born in the army, sandwiched between Liu Zhen and Wu Youren, probably like the young lord of Xia Guo who was overthrown, it didn't matter, and he tended to surrender.

The last Wu Youren, an official position of 'Situ', is similar to Zhang Shicheng's name, which is also Situ's Li Bosheng, who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty last year.

Zhu Yuan felt a little nondescript.

Situ is one of the 'three dukes' of the traditional Three Princes and Nine Qings, and he is indeed prominent, but Wu Youren, Situ, is more of a Situ who was asked for by himself when he sent troops to the side of the Qing monarch in the civil strife in Ming Xia.

Because he actually controlled the government of the Xia State, Wu Youren became a firm main battle faction.

often encounters spring into Shu, and the biggest obstacle encountered is the confrontation with Wu Youren.

It's just that at that time, Shu Road had almost been opened by the rapidly advancing Ming army, Wu Youren reacted, concentrated his forces and wanted to block the Ming army in Micang Road, but because the army was disheartened, the internal surrender to the Ming army, under the combination of inside and outside, tens of thousands of troops were defeated at one touch, and Wu Youren was also captured alive.

Chang Yuchun, who broke into Shuzhong, then rushed all the way to the city of Chongqing, Wu Youren, the main battle faction, was silent, and the monarchs and ministers of Xia took the initiative to choose Kaicheng to surrender.

It can be said that if Wu Youren had sent more troops to block the Micang Road earlier, even if this battle dragged on for a few months, the pressure on the Ming army, which had a long supply line, would have doubled, and the result was unpredictable.

Of course, the war is over.

Only the result.

There are no ifs.

When Wu Zhen, the already old right minister of Xia Guo, knelt on the ground and trembled and finished reading a letter of guilt in person, the official here also read Lao Zhu's holy decree in public.

Although the Xia Kingdom was late in annexing, it also avoided a sword battle outside Chongqing, and the soldiers of both sides were saved. As a result, the edict enshrined Ming Sheng, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, as the 'Guiyi Marquis', and gave the first house in Beijing.

Wu Zhen, the right minister, and Dai Shou, the left minister, persuaded Mingsheng to join him and accept his life, so he stayed in Beijing and waited for appointment.

Situ Wu Youren stubbornly refused the army and did not know the current affairs, resulting in the loss of troops on both sides, sentenced to beheading, degraded relatives to slavery, and confiscated family property for national use.

In addition, other civil and military forces in the Xia Kingdom, or rewards or punishments, are all disposed of.

After reading the holy decree, Zhu Yuan on the city tower saw a sloppy embarrassed man on Wu Zhen's right who couldn't see his age, howled miserably, shouted a few words vaguely, and fainted without waiting for the general to stop him.

Obviously it's Wu Youren.

In this regard, Zhu Yuan's feeling is...... Why bother, why bother?

Wu Youren is in the Xia Kingdom, speaking of which, he belongs to Cao Cao-style figures, because he has military power, and his official position is nominally under the two prime ministers, but in fact, he is holding the Son of Heaven to make the princes have great power.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Wu Youren will resist stubbornly and do not want to give up this authority over 10,000 people.

In fact, the other party's approach can't be wrong.

There have always been many divisions in Shu, although the national Zuo is short-lived, but Bashu is dangerous, and it is too easy to give people the illusion that they can close the door and claim hegemony.

Just like this time.

In case it happens, Wu Youren will run it for a few more years, and it will be better, let the young master Zen position, and if it is worse, he will directly usurp it, and maybe he will be able to live the addiction of being an emperor.

After all, there have been so many emperors in Shuzhong.

Where would you have thought that the Ming army was so unruly?

The promised three-month consideration time...... Before I arrived, I swooped in!

However, no matter what Wu Youren thinks, whether he regrets it or is frustrated, no one is destined to pay attention to the thoughts of the loser.

After the reading of the holy decree ended, the ceremonial officials sang and went down, and the civil and military forces of the Xia Kingdom were escorted down, and then, the triumphant generals returned to their positions, bowed again, and shouted 'long live' three times.

Amid the music, the triumphal ceremony officially ended.

According to the etiquette formulated by the imperial court, after the triumphal ceremony, the emperor and the civil and military can go back to their respective homes, this time it is different, Lao Zhu also arranged a banquet, and the location is in the west side of the martial arts building in the Fengtian Gate.

Everyone went down to the Wumen Tower first, and Lao Zhu once again grabbed his love to talk about it, and then reluctantly let Chang Yuchun go to change his clothes.

His Majesty the Emperor himself has to change his clothes and change out of his more formal clothes.

After a quarter of an hour or so, the sun sank into the horizon and twilight fell.

The dinner party in Wulou officially began.

Or the fourth grade or above can enter the main hall, and the others are in the side room.

Zhu Yuan's position is the same as the last ribbon fish banquet, as a clan, second only to Lao Zhu and the crown prince, because this time he did not call several other princes to come over, he and Zhu Biao are one right and one left.

However, compared with the last time, this time, because Lao Zhu didn't pay attention to the rules, he quickly got off the throne and drank with Chang Yuchun and others to catch up with the old days, and everyone was no longer so restrained.

Zhu Yuan held a glass of very light fruit wine, and together with Zhu Biao, he was treated by Lao Zhu, and he also officially met Gu Shi and Xue Xian, two generals under Chang Yuchun.

Gu Shi is a bit like Wu Liang, both of them are Confucian generals and polite.

Xue Xian was a little rude, wanting to express his closeness to Zhu Yuan, so he raised his hand and patted a young man on the shoulder, and slapped someone out of the way.

Lao Zhu took the lead in laughter, and Zhu Yuan complained.

No wonder you were assigned to Qiongzhou!

Should!

Lao Zhu didn't forget Tu Xiao either.

This young man, who is only 25 years old this year, has been promoted from a small director of the Zhengbapin Surveying and Mapping Office to a Zhengsanpin surveying and mapping envoy in the past year.

However, anyone who understands Tu Xiao's exploits does not feel excessive.

In the Battle of Dadu, if it weren't for Tu Xiao leading the team to draw a large number of maps in advance and helping the army guide the way, the encirclement of Dadu by the armies would not have been so smooth.

There was also the time when the capital was breached.

The flying hot air balloon, although it was just an accident, although it was originally an idea proposed by Zhu Yuan, but as the executor, Tu Xiao's work is not an exaggeration to say that it is to let tens of thousands of soldiers die in Daming.

Then, he attacked Kaiping, moved to Shanxi, entered Shaanxi, and drove into Bashu, all of which had Tu Xiao's advice along the way.

For Lao Zhu, who already likes capable and talented young people, how could he not like such a junior?

So he personally poured Tu Xiao three glasses of wine before being let go.

Of course, there is also some encouragement.

Tu Xiao drank wine, and waited for Lao Zhu to turn away before he was able to say a few words to Zhu Yuan.

The young man still called Zhu Yuan 'sir', but after a few chats, he whispered that he hoped to be able to visit the door.

Zhu Yuan naturally agreed.

Zhu Yuan's energy was limited, and he only stayed at the banquet for less than half an hour, and the careful old Zhu took the initiative to speak and sent him back to rest.

By the way, he also drove away the eldest son, saying that he was young after all, and it was not suitable for drinking and enjoying himself like them.

It seems that the monarch and the minister are planning to not get drunk tonight.

The other two uncles and nephews left Wulou together, Zhu Biao was not a sick and weak body like Zhu Yuan, his mood was still very high, and he was still pulling his nephew outside to talk for a while before he was willing to leave.

Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walk away, Zhu Yuan sat in the sedan chair specially approved by him in the palace, and before he left the imperial city, the drunkenness struck, and he already felt a strong sense of sleep, and then he fell asleep with the sack that he didn't know when.
