"Your name is Ye Cheng?" Ming Chengzu Zhu Di took the lead in asking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Cheng hurriedly jumped out of his thoughts and replied, "Exactly." ”

"Presumptuous, you don't kneel down when you see the emperor, do you think you are still on the rivers and lakes now?" Yuan Heng hurriedly stepped over and said loudly at Ye Cheng.

Zhu Di frowned slightly, turned around and glared at Yuan Hui, Yuan Heng was taken aback when he saw this, and retreated to the side in fear. This time the coke broke Chen Ying next to him, and said in his heart Yuan Heng's horse can be regarded as a horse's hooves, and now the kid surnamed Ye is a meritorious person in the Ming Dynasty, even if the etiquette is not good, how can the emperor be willing to attack in front of everyone, Yuan Heng made a big fuss, but this time it was a mistake.

"Ye Shaoxia, you can still care about the court and the country outside the temple, this battle depends on your help, after entering the palace for a while, the widow will give you a good drink!" Zhu Di said with a smile.

Ye Cheng also smiled, everything that came to his lips seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.

At this time, Hanlin attendant Xie Jin walked up to the front and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, it's not early, do you want to drive back to the palace to have a banquet for these heroes?"

Zhu Di nodded, turned around and left Ye Cheng, walked in front of Zheng He and held his hand: "This time, the widow will not take a sedan chair or a car, but will go hand in hand with our Ming heroes!"

"Drive back to the palace!" The accompanying eunuchs shouted, followed by the sound of drums on both sides, Zhu Di held Zheng He's hand, and walked towards the gate of Yingtianfu with his head held high. Yuan Hui, the minister of Taichang Temple, Chen Ying, the left deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Palace, Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, Xie Jin, the Hanlin attendant, and Zhu Di's three sons Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui followed, and the five thousand elite divisions led by Zheng He also marched into the city.

After entering Yingtianfu, the whole city is like a pot of boiling water, instantly boiling, the people greet each other, rubbing shoulders, just to see the return of Zheng He from the West and the current emperor Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's demeanor, if not on both sides of the armor to block, there must be people rushed to the middle of the street.

"Look, look! It's the emperor holding General Zheng's hand!" "It's amazing! How many courtiers can enjoy such honor!" "Look at General Zheng, this can be regarded as raising eyebrows, who will dare to laugh at people in the future that they are eunuchs!"

There were many mouths, and for a while, the shouts and discussions of the people resounded throughout Yingtianfu. When everyone was envious of Zheng He, only the black-clothed prime minister Daoyan and monk Yao Guangxiao, who followed behind, were still calm and even a little dignified. Because he knows better than anyone what kind of person Zhu Di is, and he understands better than anyone else that after becoming a supreme minister, it is likely that he will prosper and decline, and what Zheng He will face next is ten thousand times more dangerous than when he was on Chongming Island and Sanfo Island.

If you want to say the most relaxed person, it must be Zhong Qing, although she has traveled south and north to follow her father sable Zhong Wanhou to see a lot of the world, but today when the son of the car is welcome, the scene of the people celebrating in the city has never been encountered, and she can't help but look at it while walking, feeling very excited.

"Brother Ye, you are really amazing, I remember that when you first came out of Yingtianfu, I met you on the ancient road, you were still a down-and-out Huazi, but now you are returning to your hometown, it is really different. Zhong Qing approached Ye Cheng and said with a smile.

Qing'er laughed again, my clothes are not given by Lord Zheng, and the people in this row welcome Lord Zheng and revere the emperor, so what does it have to do with me. Ye Cheng said to Zhong Qing.

"If they know that you are Zhu Di's son, I guess it will be you who welcomes you. Zhong Qing said.

Ye Cheng hurriedly motioned to Zhong Qing to whisper, and then lowered his voice and said: "Qing'er, this place is no better than others, since ancient times, the imperial city has been a field of right and wrong, don't mention the matter of my life experience, I will have my own plans when the time comes." ”

Zhong Qing also felt that she had lost her words just now, stuck out her tongue and smiled at Ye Cheng, no longer holding her mouth open.

The Ying Tian Temple of this Ying Tianfu is also called the Forbidden Palace, there are six gates, due south is the noon gate, the left is the left door, the right is the right one, the east is Dong'an, the west is Xi'an, and the north is Bei'an. Gate 6 outside the palace city: due south is Hongwu, east is Chang'an left, west is Chang'an right, east north is Donghua, west north is Xihua, north is Xuanwu.

Immediately, Ming Chengzu, Zheng He and Ye Cheng and other people walked from the left gate of Chang'an to the Dong'an Gate and went straight into the Forbidden Palace, Zheng He's soldiers, most of them had been left on the ship, and the accompanying 5,000 people were also arranged to be stationed outside the palace, and only more than 100 deputy generals entered the palace with Zheng He.

On the square outside the palace, the banquet has already been arranged, the maid eunuchs and a group of walking errands have been waiting for a long time, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di took the lead in sitting in the center, and Zheng He, Ye Cheng and others were also guided by the eunuchs to sit in turn.

Zheng He and Ye Cheng sat in the west, and in the east facing sat a group of ministers in the court, and Monk Daoyan and Yuan Heng and others were impressively listed, needless to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the auspicious day of my Ming Dynasty, and the widow is very happy, not because of the acceptance of the Three Buddha Islands and the surrender of Chen Zuyi, but because our Ming fleet can sail away in the wind, do things that are difficult for the ancients to do, and build the achievements of the ancients, this is a first-class feat, a first-class happy event, do you say yes?" Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and others sat down and said loudly.

When the emperor spoke, it was naturally another mountain shouting long live, and the loyal ministers gave a thumbs up, praising Chengzu Shengming, Zhu Di looked up to the sky and laughed, picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.

After a while, I saw Chen Ying taking small steps to attend the throne, first bowed deeply to the end, and then knelt down and said loudly: "The emperor Shengming, congratulations to the emperor for his humble position!"

"Oh, what good news does Chen Aiqing have?" asked Zhu Di with a smile.

Chen Ying leaned over and said: "Yesterday, the minister had a dream at night, and saw a thing in the dream, with horns like an antelope, a body like a handsome horse, two ribs and wings, and a body as white as snow. The minister couldn't help but sit up, and he didn't dare to sleep, and hurriedly invited the Taoist master to ask, it turned out that the name of this thing was Bai Ze, which was the divine beast of all spirits in ancient times, but it would come to the world when the holy monarch ruled the world, holding the heavenly scroll, but bless the sheji, turn evil into good fortune, and ensure that the world is immortal. ”

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing when he heard this, pointed at Chen Ying and said: "If it is really as Aiqing said, wouldn't the widow become a virtuous monarch like Yao Shunyu?"

"That's right!" Chen Ying said loudly with room for prostration, and before the words fell, the civil and military officials on the side of the seat said long live and congratulated Zhu Di. But one of the crowd let out a crisp laugh.

"Ridiculous!"

These two words came out of the man's mouth in a loud voice, but they stunned everyone present, even Ye Cheng couldn't help but be shocked, and said in his heart: "Who is so bold that he dares to laugh at the emperor in public?"
