Chapter 999: Offering Prisoners at Noon

When the prisoner offering team came to the noon gate, the civil and military officials stood in order under the guidance of the ushering officer.

General Tianwu took Lubu off the flagpole and knelt before the prince.

The prince held the cloth in his hand, placed it on top of the yellow case, and retreated into place.

After that, the Jinyi guard escorted 300 important captives to the end gate, made them kneel neatly, and all of them were silenced.

When it was ready, Honglu Siqing quickly stepped inside and respectfully invited the emperor to sit down.

After a while, ceremonial music was played on the Wufeng Tower, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, ascended the Wufeng Tower.

After the emperor ascended and sat down in the noon gatehouse, the music stopped, the eunuch sounded the whip, and the audience was solemn.

The hundred officials bowed four times to the noon gate, and the ritual music was played again, and the music stopped after leveling.

Then the official of the Ministry of Rites, Gao Xin, who was the official of the ceremony, sang: "Enter Lubu! ”

The sound of ritual music began again, and the deacon officials carefully carried the yellow case, and placed it in the middle of the noon gate, and the music stopped.

The celebrant sang again: "Xuan Lubu! ”

Cao Guogong and Song Guogong, who served as propaganda officials, came to the front of the case, the former took the exposed cloth, and the latter knelt down to declare the exposed cloth, and after reading it out, it was placed on the case and returned to its place.

At this time, the rites and music rose again, and the ministers congratulated the emperor, recovered Yunnan, and the golden ou was unified!

Four worships, happy stops.

The deacon lifted the case and relocated it to the east of the Imperial Road.

The salute officer sings: "Prisoners! ”

The end door slowly opened, and the brocade guard, dressed in a flying fish suit and carrying an embroidered spring knife on his waist, carried three hundred captives, and came to the noon gate majestically, making them kneel at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Then the Shangshu Kaiji of the Criminal Department came to the noon gate, knelt down and received more than 3,000 prisoners from the army of Zhengnan, including the uncle of the son of the late Yuan Weishun King, the younger brother of the King of Liang, Dashan, the son of the Duan family of Dali, Duan Thoren, Duan Thoyi, and other important figures. At the disposal of the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed the benevolence of the victor as planned, and pardoned these prisoners of war on the spot.

The official who undertook the production praised and said: "There is a gracious decree, and the prisoners will be pardoned for capital crimes." ”

After the captives understood, they hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, and many of them wept bitterly and feared all the way, and now they finally saved their lives.

Of course, it is impossible for them to return to Yunnan in this life, and most of them will be sent to Tamna Island for resettlement. There they will return to their ancestors' old business and raise horses for the Ming Emperor.

After the ceremony, Zhu Zhen entered the palace as soon as possible to visit the queen mother and concubine.

In Kunning Palace, he was also pleasantly surprised to see Miaoqing, Liu Li and Wang Run'er......

"Ah, you're all here!" Zhu Zhen was overjoyed, he really missed it after not seeing him for so long.

The three girls also faded away from the youthfulness of the girls, and all of them grew into big girls. looked at His Royal Highness with red eyes, but in front of the queen and the concubine, they were not presumptuous, so they could only look at him stupidly.

"I'll just say it, I forgot my mother when I have a daughter-in-law." Seeing that the children only cared about their eyebrows, Hu Guifei laughed and said: "After the stinky boy comes back, he doesn't ask the two mothers first, and he just looks at the daughter-in-law in his eyes." ”

"What's so nice about the old lady?" Queen Ma smiled and relieved the sixth child: "The children haven't seen each other for a long time, we can't be evil mothers-in-law." ”

"The son visits the queen mother." Only then did the sixth come back to his senses, and hurriedly came to kowtow to the queen mother, and after a pause, he grimaced at Hu Guifei and said, "There is also the mother concubine." ”

"People who are about to marry their daughters-in-law still look like monkeys." Queen Ma glared at him with a smile, but saw that Hu Guifei was also making a grimace with her son there, and she was speechless.

"You're about to become a mother-in-law......

When the two of them were honest, Queen Ma asked the sixth child to step forward, took his hand, looked up at him and said, "Good guy, it's about to catch up with your second brother." ”

"Eat less, and if it grows longer, it will be on the roof beam." Hu Guifei laughed and said.

"Drink less." The sixth brother sneered at each other.

"Shut up both of you." Queen Ma cried and laughed: "In front of the daughters-in-law, is it still a bit like a mother-in-law?" ”

After banning the two unobtrusive mothers, Queen Ma said to the concubines in the palace: "The sixth child should have gotten married a long time ago, but for the sake of state affairs, it has been delayed again and again, and it has been delayed until today, so I can't delay it anymore." We won't do anything in the palace next, and we will concentrate on doing our best to hold the wedding for him first. ”

"The queen doesn't need to worry, we have all held weddings for so many highnesses, and we are not familiar with the road?" Concubine Da Ding smiled.

"The sixth is different this time. He wants to marry three princesses at the same time, and they are all concubines. Queen Ma announced blatantly.

There was an uproar in the Kunning Palace, and the concubines couldn't help but whisper. Of course, they know that the sixth child has three little friends...... It seems that there are more than three, but the Jurchen, the holy hand of obstetrics, should not become the concubine of His Royal Highness. Therefore, when they privately discuss who will be the princess of Chu in the future, they are usually limited to the three female babies present.

In fact, the candidate for the main concubine does not need to be discussed at all, it is none other than Xu Miaoqing when you look at it horizontally and vertically, how can she be the daughter of the first hero of the founding of the country?

Can just the daughter of the Sincerity Hou be small? That's Liu Bowen's granddaughter! How many princes' homes can't ask for pearls.

Even Wang Bi's daughter is very inappropriate to be young, her father is Hou Ye, and her uncle is also Hou Ye, this identity is also more than enough to be a concubine.

There are women who don't see people, such as Dashi, who gloated a lot in private, saying that the emperor asked the daughter of Duke Wei to be a side concubine to the prince, but people would rather self-immolate than agree. The emperor still doesn't accept the lesson, this time he will either make Chengyi Bo and Dingyuan Marquis lose face, or he will force the two flower girls to death.

Although others didn't dare to echo her, they thought so in their hearts, and secretly said that the sixth old man hid outside and didn't come back, and the eight achievements were to escape this unsolvable problem.

This time, the sixth child triumphed from Yunnan, and the queen also called his three good girls to the palace. Even if the marriage contract is not announced on the spot, the three daughters will be given a clear position, and the concubines don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and they all come over to watch the show.

Who knew that the queen actually said that the three were all concubines, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world?!

"Queen, isn't the princess's canonization child's play? How can there be a reason for being a concubine? Concubine Da Ding couldn't help but ask:

"Even if you spoil the sixth child, you have to have a limit. Can't mess up the program...... The daughter of King Ninghe didn't get this treatment before. ”

"Wait for Hongu to finish speaking!" Queen Ma gave her an angry look.

"Yes." Concubine Da Ding hurriedly stopped.

"The situation of the sixth child is different from that of the second child, he already has the title of two princes, and the emperor will give him another king of Yunnan, he is the only third prince of my Ming Dynasty." I heard Queen Ma say in a deep voice: "The title of one prince can correspond to one princess, and three princes will naturally have three princesses." ”

"But......" Concubine Da Ding couldn't help it again.

The administrator, Queen Ma, directly raised her hand and forbade her, and then said: "When the sixth child made a great contribution, the emperor asked how to reward him, and he said that he would decide who to marry. The emperor agreed. ”

"Although the emperor didn't expect that there was more than one candidate for him, and he couldn't bear to let any of them be concubines, but you didn't have any jokes, so you could only make an example." Queen Ma's majestic gaze swept over the concubines and concubines, and said lightly:

But the emperor didn't cheapen him, let him conquer Pingdian, arrest Prince Huailiang who assassinated the emperor, eliminate the King of Liang and the Duan clan of Dali who were not convinced by the king, and did these things one by one, so that he could come back and get married. Those of you who want to climb with a partner, first weigh whether your son has the ability to do so. ”

"Yes......" The concubines are all honest now.

The three girls were moved to tears, and instantly regarded Queen Ma as their mother-in-law, and only their mother-in-law would protect them like this.
