"So...... The queen mother is worried about her sons. After Zhu Biao came back to his senses, he smiled bitterly with a somewhat complicated tone.

Queen Ma nodded helplessly: "If I don't read these history books and don't find these laws, I really don't need to worry, but once I find out, I will naturally be scared." What's more, your physique is far inferior to your father. ”

She didn't know that Zhu Biao was already preparing for a rainy day, and she seemed worried.

"Biao'er......" Queen Ma continued, "Your East Palace guard does have some skills. The queen mother has also been thinking about his words for the past few days. ”

"Although I treat those adopted sons as my own, to be honest, those adopted sons' feelings for their mother may even be better than that of Mu Ying."

Mu Ying is the proudest adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, and he treats the two elders as his own parents and is extremely loyal and filial.

Queen Emas's intelligence, how can she not see these details.

Queen Ma looked at the silent Zhu Biao, and continued: "Here is just you, my mother and son, I will say some things directly." Fang Jin's method, I support it, and I will persuade your father in the future. ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Biao replied confidently: "Queen Mother, the position of the son-in-law is stable, there is no need to worry!" ”

"Biao'er, you're wrong!" Queen Ma glared at Zhu Biao and said with a serious expression, "The most unpredictable thing in the world is that no one is sure in the future." ”

"For example, Chai Rong never dreamed that Zhao Kuangyin, who was loyal to him, would take away his world, and Kublai Khan would never have imagined that Meng Yuan, who was once so strong, would have been in the country for less than a hundred years."

"Just like back then, when your father was taken in by the stepfather of the queen mother, no matter how bold your dreams were, I never imagined that I would be the emperor one day."

"So Biao'er...... Things that you may never have dreamed of in the future may happen to you. ”

Empress Ma's words made Zhu Biao a clever man, and he suddenly remembered that the inconspicuous Jianzhou Jurchen who lived between the white mountains and black waters brought unbelievable disasters to the whole of China hundreds of years later.

Tender, I'm too tender after all.

"Haha, Madame and Biao'er are here, this couldn't be better!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from outside the door, and he had just finished handling government affairs at this moment.

After Zhu Biao came back to his senses, he glanced at his mother, and his face immediately returned to normal.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, he took a few sips of tea, and his face was full of joy.

Zhu Biao's heart moved, and he whispered: "Father, seeing that you are so happy, presumably Uncle Xu Da and Uncle Chang Yuchun will return to the court on the same day, right?" ”

"Yes, in a few days, they will be back." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily, patted his stomach and shouted, "Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures! My Da Ming is far better than Da Song! ”

Next, the family of three discussed how to reward the generals.

Only occasionally, Zhu Biao's gaze will meet Queen Ma.

……

Three days later, Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the palace early and came to a place ten miles outside the city to welcome the Northern Expedition army back to the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang is wearing a red dragon robe today, wearing a crown of black yarn wings, carrying his hands on his back, standing in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Zhu Biao was wearing a prince's gown, standing quietly beside Lao Zhu, looking calmly ahead, with occasional flashes of brilliance.

Soon after, a fierce sound of horses' hooves suddenly came to mind in the distance, and then a banner appeared in sight, and then another burst of shouts came: "Daming Wansheng!" Daming Wansheng! Daming Wansheng! ”

The sound is neat and grand, and it is shocking.

Zhu Biao looked at this majestic army, and said in his heart that it was good.

What "Jurchen is less than 10,000, full of 10,000 invincible"? Look at this momentum, the Ming army full of 10,000 is invincible!

Such an army is undoubtedly the strongest in the world.

Although the army in the Yongle period was also very strong, because the shortage of generals was too serious, even Zhu Yong and others were able to lead the army to the north to conquer Mongolia, which led to the annihilation of the entire army, so that Zhu Di had to drive the expedition in person.

"No matter what, we must protect those generals, and Da Ming must not stop the pace of expansion, as long as he is alone for a day, it is impossible to put swords and guns into the warehouse, and the horse will be put in Nanshan!" Zhu Biao thought excitedly.

He glanced casually at Fang Jin on the side.

This guy had a pair of blazing eyes, staring closely at the imposing Ming army in front of him, his face was slightly red, his breathing was slightly short, and he was obviously infected by the momentum of the Ming army.

In the distance, the Ming army was led by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

They ordered the army to stand in place, and they themselves led some of the generals out of the army and went straight to meet them.

When the distance was close, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others dismounted, and then ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang with a laugh.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood when he saw them running over, and he also showed a good smile on his face, and he stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others saw the emperor coming, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The ministers see the emperor!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say, directly stretched out his hands, pulled Xu Da and Chang Yuchun up one by one, and said with a smile: "My own family, there is no need to be polite." Since we learned that you have returned victoriously, this is excited, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to you back. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has now become the emperor, is usually full of majesty, and only when facing these two old brothers will he show such a demeanor.

This is the real friendship of life.

Zhu Biao saw that the three of them were chatting about the same, so he walked forward just right and said: "Congratulations to all the uncles on the Northern Expedition to the Pseudo-Yuan and the successful recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, congratulations for Daming and Huaxia!" ”

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun also bowed down with the generals and said: "The last general will see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is really serious, and it will torment us." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and teased: "Why are you still alive, you still have a big nephew back then." ”

Although he said this, he was extremely satisfied with the performance of these generals in his heart.

The prince is the prince, and you are the courtiers, and there is a difference between the monarch and the minister.

Sure enough, Xu Da, who has always been quite colorful, hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't laugh at it." Of course, I regard Biao'er as a nephew in my heart, but this is outside, Biao'er is the prince, and I can't break the rules. ”

This Xu Da knows how to advance and retreat, and can look at colors, no wonder the Xu family can successfully escape several purgies, and finally become the first noble family in the Ming Dynasty.

Chang Yuchun on the side also said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, and it is normal for us to salute His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

His eldest daughter Chang Yuyan has already made a marriage agreement with Zhu Biao, and in a few years, she will officially marry and become the crown prince's concubine.

In the future, his daughter will be the queen of the Ming Dynasty; In the future, every Ming Emperor will also have the blood of the Chang family.

As long as the Ming Dynasty does not die, the wealth of the Chang family will continue.

At this moment, Chang Yuchun is in high spirits.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, and immediately returned the salute, and the graceful and luxurious aura was undoubtedly displayed in him.
