Mei Yin enters the palace.
No one knows what he and Zhu Di talked about.
Anyway, the final result was quite happy, at least Zhu Di still had a smile on his face.
After Mei Yin left the palace, he hurried away worriedly, obviously missing his wife and children.
After Zhu Di waited for Mei Yin to leave, he summoned Li Jinglong and the others.
After entering the main hall, the three of them were about to salute, but Zhu Di waved his hand.
"Okay, no need to be polite."
"The three beloved ministers have made outstanding contributions to our Ming Dynasty on this mission. I am very pleased!"
Hearing this, Li Jinglong and Ji Gang both had smiles on their faces.
The emperor first set a tone, that is, he was very satisfied with the performance of the three people.
Then the next step is to reward based on merit!
Zhu Di took the lead and looked at Li Jinglong, this "wonderful man in the world" with a heroic appearance.
I have to admit that Li Jinglong is really handsome, so handsome that he completely surpasses everyone's aesthetic standards.
When a man meets Li Jinglong, he will see his bravery and fortitude, and his calmness and self-reliance.
When a woman meets Li Jinglong, she will see how handsome he is and how handsome he is.
To sum it up in one sentence, Li Jinglong's appearance is among the best in the world, and he can kill both men and women, young and old.
Recalling the life-and-death danger that Li Jinglong experienced this time, Zhu Di suddenly smiled on his face.
Li Jinglong successfully recruited the Huai'an army during this mission, which solved a serious problem for himself and saved the Ming Dynasty from the disaster of weapons. It is indeed a great achievement!
"Jiujiang, I've really worked hard on you this time!"
"I'm very happy that you have finally become a talented person, just like my father!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jinglong was startled at first, and then burst into tears and knelt down and cried bitterly.
No one knows what Li Jinglong has been carrying during this period of time.
He was just a dandy, but he was recommended by Qi Tai to Zhu Yunqi. Then he went out to fight, became the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, and led an army of 500,000 people to go out for a while.
A playboy who had never been on the battlefield led an army of 500,000 in the Northern Expedition, and the results were predictable.
Not only was Li Jinglong defeated, he also destroyed the main force of the Southern Army in one battle, became a sinner of the Jianwen court, and was crucified on the pillar of historical shame.
His uncle doesn't care, his grandma doesn't love him, he's hated by his former ministers, and he's hostile by those who contributed to Jingnan. He's completely reduced to an existence that everyone hates!
Even Emperor Yongle was uneasy and kind to him, Li Jinglong, and deliberately placed him at the head of the civil and military officials, deliberately putting him on the fire!
If Li Jinglong hadn't been big-hearted and thick-skinned, any other minister would have committed suicide long ago in this situation.
Until now, Zhu Di personally praised Li Jinglong and said that Li Jinglong had "the style of his father"!
Li Jinglong also understood that Zhu Di finally let go of his fear of him and his intention to kill him.
After all, Li Jinglong’s “father” was Li Wenzhong, the famous founding general, Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang in the Ming Dynasty, and a generation of heroes even praised by Zhu Di!
Li Jinglong burst into tears and was so choked that he could not speak.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Di was also filled with emotions.
He and Li Jinglong actually have a general friendship.
We all played together when we were children, and we were considered close friends.
At that time, Li Jinglong liked to show off and be clever. Zhu Di and other noble sons of the prince liked to fight and hunt on horseback, but Li Jinglong liked to read and practice calligraphy. The comparison came out immediately.
As a result, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang really thought that Li Jinglong was a talent, entrusted him with important tasks, and left him as an important minister to Zhu Yunwen.
The final result was that Li Jinglong deceived everyone, completed a luxurious feast that deceived the world, and tricked Zhu Yunwen into losing his country in vain!
If we really want to talk about it, Zhu Di is able to sit on the dragon throne, I really want to thank Li Jinglong.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di quickly stepped forward and personally helped Li Jinglong up.
"Jiujiang, you and I, our monarch and our ministers, met each other when we were in charge of the general meeting, and we are close friends. This relationship..."
"This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss at the time."
A mean voice sounded, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't handle it!
Well, Li Hongbi had a bad mouth and forced himself into the emperor's mouth.
In fact, after witnessing Zhu Di's high rank, he was afraid that Li Jinglong would be deceived and lost his ability, so he just forced it in.
Zhu Di is still brewing his emotions and wants to tell Li Jinglong that I care about the friendship back then, so you don't have to worry all day long.
As a result, his emotions had been brewing for a long time, but before he could speak, Li Hongbi's words ruined the atmosphere.
Ji Gang and everyone on the side were almost numb and wanted to step forward and cover Li Hongbi's mouth.
You really have no sense!
Why do you have to interrupt to show that you are tough enough?
Zhu Di's face was a little dark, but he was the emperor after all, so he quickly adjusted.
The atmosphere was ruined, and he didn't bother to brew any more emotions.
Anyway, the person Zhu Di really valued was not Li Jinglong, but Li Hongbi.
Zhu Di looked at Li Hongbi's face, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.
After becoming emperor, the butt determines the head. The more talented people there are, the happier Zhu Di will be.
What Li Hongbi did when he went to Huai'an was all before Zhu Di's eyes, so he could not help but take a high look at him.
To be honest, Li Hongbi was a talented man before, at least judging from the information collected by Jin Yiwei, this was indeed the case.
Unlike his father Li Jinglong, Li Hongbi was not a dandy. He read, learned calligraphy, and cultivated virtues. He was born with the seed of reading.
It was so hateful to meet such a bastard father as Li Jinglong that Li Hongbi did not hesitate to threaten to drown him in the river.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but look at Li Hongbi much softer.
"Hongbi!"
The emperor calls, and the ministers kneel and lick.
Li Hongbi hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"I... I'm sorry... the general... a certain family..."
"Li Hongbi, a common man, comes to see the emperor!"
After changing several names in succession, Li Hongbi felt that something was not right.
Finally, he realized that I was a non-working person and could only call myself a "grassroots citizen"!
Seeing his appearance, Zhu Di felt a little surprised, but then he laughed out loud.
"Li Hongbi, who is scheming against Mei Yin, doesn't understand the etiquette before the emperor?"
"Haha... This is really a new thing!"
Li Jinglong gritted his teeth and lowered his voice to say something from between his teeth.
"Your Majesty, this evil beast has always been lawless."
Why are you so smart on weekdays, but you did this to me during the interview?
Why, I wish I could trick your father to death as soon as possible, so that you can inherit your father's and mine's title of Duke?
Li Hongbi felt very innocent. After all, he really didn't understand the etiquette of meeting a gentleman, and no one had ever taught him!
Zhu Di waved his hand, not paying attention at all.
"This is your Li family's Qilin, you must raise him well!"
Li Jinglong obeyed the order respectfully, but with a smile on his lips.
The Qilin'er praised by His Majesty himself is the real Qilin'er!
"Hongbi, although you have no official position, you are the successor of a meritorious official and have been favored by generations, so you can call yourself a minister."
"You have made great achievements this time. What reward do you want? Just ask!"
In order to conquer Yingcai Junjie, Zhu Di opened the mouth of Chrysostom very domineeringly.
The new dynasty lacked the support of these talents, so he hoped that Li Hongbi would set an example.
After all, as the eldest son of Cao Guogong, Li Hongbi still has considerable influence in the circle of nobles.
Hearing the emperor's words, Li Jinglong's face suddenly burst into a smile, brighter than a chrysanthemum.
Doesn't His Majesty the Emperor mean to let his son choose an official?
As long as it doesn't go too far, my son can enter an official career!
This is a big step ahead of those imperial examination students and those who take scientific examinations!
With my son's intelligence, he will definitely understand the holy will and then choose a position with low rank but heavy authority.
Li Jinglong was thinking happily, but the next moment he froze on the spot.
Because Li Hongbi said a classic sentence and shouted a slogan for countless people in later generations.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I want to be a waste, so I ask the emperor to make it happen!"
Well, I want to be a loser!
Zhu Di: "???"
Li Jinglong: "???"
Damn it?
Is there such an option?
You said in front of Emperor Yongle that you wanted to be a waste?
