After leaving the bookstore to Zhu Song to keep an eye on, Zhu Ming finally took a good rest.
I woke up during the day and went to class, teasing Xu Miaojin. Except for the occasional time when Shang Xiaoru was a little tired from class, everything was fine.
Zhu Yuanzhang also discussed with Fang Xiaoru about the salary increase for all officials.
As soon as this order was issued, all the officials cheered.
After receiving white rice for so many years, one day I can finally receive white money.
Until the end of the month.
"Little grandson of the emperor, grandson of the little emperor!"
Zhu Ming was in a daze, hearing someone calling his name, and then he opened his eyes half asleep.
Liu Jin was shaking his body anxiously, trying to wake him up.
He turned to look out the window again, and saw that it was just getting dark. It was still early when he usually got up.
"What?"
Zhu Ming rubbed his eyes angrily, sat up slowly, and looked at Liu Jin with eyes full of helplessness at being woken up.
Why did you wake yourself up so early in the morning?
"Little grandson of the emperor, my servant reported that someone is looking for you outside."
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Ming's complaining eyes and knew that he was unhappy because he was woken up early in the morning, so he immediately explained.
"Who's going to stop people from sleeping well so early in the morning?"
Seeing that someone was looking for him, Zhu Ming felt even more upset. He lay back down and covered his head with a quilt.
"Probably a soldier."
Seeing Zhu Ming lying back before he finished speaking, Liu Jin was also quite helpless.
I heard he was a soldier. Zhu Ming immediately jumped out of bed.
What does this soldier want to do with me?
He didn't remember any dealings with the Ministry of War recently.
But since he came to find himself, he couldn't control that much.
Zhu Ming immediately finished washing, changed his clothes, and took Liu Jin straight to the entrance of the imperial city.
Just look at a big man in cloth clothes, tall and thick, standing outside the door, waiting motionless.
Autumn had already entered at this time, and even according to the weather in Nanjing, it was a bit cool. The big man stood there, showing no signs of being afraid of the cold.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
This big man was so conspicuous that without any introduction, Zhu Ming knew that he was the one looking for him, so he walked over and asked in a deep voice.
"Little Emperor Sun, our general is back."
The man asked Zhu Ming to come over and respectfully performed a military salute. It was obvious that he was from the military.
With that said, he took out a painting and gave it to Zhu Ming's hand.
"Your general?"
Zhu Ming was confused as he took the painting and opened it.
This painting is not in the style of Ming Dynasty, but has a small-minded Japanese style.
"This is a thank-you gift from our general to His Royal Highness after his triumphant return."
The big man nodded and said nothing more. I think that's all their general said to him.
Looking at the Japanese style scroll, Zhu Ming roughly knew who the general the big man was talking about, and quickly put the painting away.
"Where is Ender now?"
He looked at the big man and asked aloud.
Recently, the only one who led troops to conquer Japan and brought back these Japanese-style items was Ande, who was conquering Japan.
"Just outside the city."
The big man looked at Zhu Ming and responded in a deep voice.
"Does Your Majesty know about this?"
With the lesson learned last time, Zhu Ming became more careful this time. He looked at Zhu Ming and said in a deep voice.
If this general returns to the capital secretly, this is a capital crime for treason, and he will not be able to save this kid.
"The general already submitted a memorial a month ago and will officially return to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow."
The big man nodded.
Zhu Ming felt a little relieved after hearing that Ander had already written the letter.
It seems that what happened last time has also improved this kid's memory.
"Let's go, take me to see him."
Zhu Ming said, waving the big man to go in front of him and lead the way for him.
"This kid wants to sneak out alone again."
Behind Zhu Ming, a figure had a panoramic view of everything.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly, turned around and looked at the guards behind him: "You guys, follow up."
He has no objection to Zhu Ming going to see that Ander. His good grandson can cultivate his own power in the army, and he will not have no cards to play against the Lu family in the future.
As the Crown Princess, Lu now has a lot of connections in the court. Even after she has removed a wave of people named Lu, there are also many ministers with other surnames.
"By the way, how is Yunxi?"
Just as he was about to return to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to remember something again, stopped, raised his head and asked.
"The emperor's grandson has been living in the East Palace for a month. There is nothing unusual about it."
The servant replied.
"Well, that's good. It would be great if my eldest grandson was here."
The eldest grandson in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth is Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Biao's real eldest son, and the emperor's grandson who was most loved by Zhu Yuanzhang before. He is very talented.
It's a pity that he died young, and then Lu and Zhu Yunwen achieved their current status.
Now that Zhu Yunxi had returned to Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang was reminded of Zhu Xiongying again.
"That's it, that's all, go back."
With another sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, stood up and returned to the palace.
"Oh my God."
Zhu Ming followed the big man and walked straight out of the palace gate when he heard a loud shout from the front.
Then he felt someone clamping his arms and lifting him up.
"Ender!"
Zhu Ming frowned, and after seeing the man clearly through the misty sky, he said in a deep voice: "Put me down."
"Oh, sorry."
Hearing Zhu Ming's sinking voice, Ander put him down and smiled awkwardly.
After months of fighting, Ender had a few scars on his body and looked much rougher.
"Forget it, it's okay."
Zhu Ming lowered his head to straighten his messed up clothes and rolled his eyes at him.
Seeing as Ender has been fighting for so long, I won't argue with him.
"You're going to meet me here?"
Zhu Ming looked around and saw that it was already dark and there was no place where people could rest.
"Let's go, come with me."
Ender just laughed a few times. It seemed that the months of fighting on the battlefield had changed his personality.
"Little grandson, are you okay?"
Seeing that Zhu Ming was about to follow Ande, Liu Jin asked worriedly.
"What's the matter? I believe him."
Zhu Ming just said it lightly, then ignored Liu Jin's worries and followed Ander directly.
He still knows this truth when he employs people without doubting them and does not trust people who doubt him.
Seeing Zhu Ming being so decisive, Liu Jin gritted his teeth and followed suit.
Hearing Zhu Ming's words, although Ande did not speak, he still raised the corners of his mouth calmly.
This time he has achieved military exploits and has a relationship with the emperor and grandson. From now on, he will not be as comfortable as a fish in water in the Ming Dynasty.
