After the people around them finished shouting their slogans, they looked at the army and talked about it. Although they didn't know it clearly, they knew that their prince had returned victoriously, and everyone looked honorable.
Zhu Biao said a few words to Li Shanchang and others, and then set off for Nanjing together.
After walking fifty miles, Zhu Biao asked officials from the Ministry of War to lead the army to the camp first, waiting for the emperor's order.
Zhu Biao led thousands of pro-troops and civil and military officials back to the gates of Nanjing. Zhu Biao looked up and saw two familiar figures on the city wall, who were clearly Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
Zhu Biao suddenly wanted to wave and shout, but thought it would be inappropriate to do so.
The generals behind him naturally saw it too. They all dismounted their horses and followed Zhu Biao on one knee, while the ritual music played again.
The Minister of Rites walked out of the city gate with the imperial edict in his hand, stood slightly sideways in front of Zhu Biao and others, and began to read, "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and Zhi said: The importance of storing two sons is to consolidate the ancestral temple. Once there is a good man, he will be loyal to all nations. Heaven. The commander-in-chief, Zhu Biao, led the Northern Expedition to the foreign tribes to regain the lost territory, destroy the enemy country and expand the territory to tens of thousands of miles. I am very happy to have such a son! The right general, King Chang Yuchun of Kaiping, worked hard and made great achievements. He was specially awarded with an iron scroll to avoid death and a reward of one thousand taels. The descendants of future generations should rest with the country! The left general Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, with outstanding merits, was promoted to the king of Qiyang, hereditary! The sincere uncle Liu Ji who joined the army was promoted to the sincere marquis and was given a hundred acres of land. The pioneer Yongchang Hou Lanyu was promoted to the Duke of Liang for his outstanding bravery and was given a thousand taels of gold... ……………
The remaining people also have their own rewards, and basically everyone has been promoted. You can get a lot of information by looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's rewards.
All the generals and lieutenants in the army were rewarded, except for Huagao, the Marquis of Guangde, but there was no punishment.
As for Hua An, he was killed long ago...
Zhu Yuanzhang on the tower looked at his son below and said, "This boy really gave us a big surprise!"
Queen Ma on the side looked at it carefully for a while and then said: "It's a lot darker. She's getting married. She needs to take good care of her."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed, but didn't say anything.
Queen Ma looked at her son below, but she felt very sad in her heart. She also studied general history, and she didn't want her son to be in the limelight anymore.
It is by no means a good thing that the prince has made such great contributions at such a young age and gained prestige in the army. She just hopes that her family can live in harmony for the rest of her life. She loves her husband and her son.
If there was a conflict between the two most important men in her life, it would undoubtedly tear out her heart.
The good news ahead spread frequently, and the slaves in Kunning Palace were all smiling, but she was the only one who was getting more and more worried, and her husband had become more and more difficult to figure out since he became the Ninth Five Supreme Being.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked helplessly at his knotted wife. She looked calm and pursed her mouth, looking very stubborn...
Since my wife became the queen, her temper has become more and more stubborn every day. I don't know what she is thinking every day. I have to be careful when having a meal with her.
The most noble couple in the world looked at each other with different expressions, and then drove back to the palace. As soon as Zhu Biao got up from the tower, he saw his parents disappear...
Silently, he turned around and rode into Nanjing City. Since His Majesty had already seen them on the city tower just now, all the generals went back to their homes to bathe and change clothes. Then as usual, the Emperor would summon them to the palace in the evening, and then give them a banquet to celebrate together. Celebrate a big win.
Zhu Biao naturally had to go home to bathe and change clothes. He led Zhu Di back to the palace under the escort of Quan Xu. At the entrance, he saw Yun Jin Nuanyu and the others. The four of them shed tears when they saw him. Zhu Biao saw them crying. , couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Di was also going back to his mother and concubine. After all, he was still young. It was the first time he had been away from Beijing for so long, so Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin to see him off.
It’s so good to be home! He took a deep breath and felt that his whole body was light. He returned to the East Palace, took off his armor and took a good bath. Then he put on a soft cloud dragon robe, tied his hair behind his back, and then went to his little room in the East Palace. In the pavilion, I listened to Nuanyu's nagging talk.
In her eyes, she had suffered a lot of grievances after Zhu Biao went to war. She was bullied by Yun Jin and others all the time, always asking her to do this and that, and not letting her have enough to eat.
Zhu Biao touched her baby's fat cheek and said, "Even if I come back, you are not allowed to eat, and you have to do double the work."
Nuan Yu looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief, her round eyes wide open, like a cute orange cat.
Yun Jin brought a cup of hot tea. Zhu Biao didn't bother to ask what it was. Anyway, whatever he could get his hands on was nothing bad.
Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and said, "Nuan Yu seems to have gained a lot of weight. Let her do more work."
Yun Jin nodded gently, walked behind Zhu Biao and pressed his shoulders.
After Zhu Biao drank a cup of tea, he stood up and flicked Nuanyu's forehead before leaving for Kunning Palace. After all, he was still young and he missed his mother.
The eunuchs and maids who saw Zhu Biao along the way knelt respectfully and shouted: "My slaves congratulate the crown prince on his triumphant victory and may the crown prince live forever!"
Zhu Biao also nodded and passed. When he arrived at Kunning Palace, Zhu Biao was notified and went in. He knelt in front of his mother and said with a smile: "The child is back, and the mother does not have to worry."
Empress Ma said with a straight face: "You still know how to worry me? Then why didn't you return to the court after retaking Yanyun? Is it what you, a prince, should do to seal the wolf to Juxu?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw the worry in Queen Ma's eyes, and then stood up and said: "No matter how you seal the wolf and stay in Xu, it is nothing more than the honor of a military commander. It is not comparable to the great achievements of the father and the emperor who reopened the sun and the moon." What does it mean to compare?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang strode in from outside the door. He glanced at the mother and son and then sat on the upper seat. He looked at his son who was really darkened and said: "If you don't come back, your mother will be like this. She doesn't know what to think about every day." What, we can’t say much, it seems like he’s getting old!”
Queen Ma would also be overjoyed at this time, and she had really gotten into trouble. The harem was boring, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow her to inquire about the affairs of the court. The women in the harem also treated her with respect, and her random thoughts frightened her every day.
But her husband's last sentence was wrong. Empress Ma glared at Zhu Yuanzhang: "That's because I am old and my beauty has faded, so naturally I can't compare with the beauties who have just entered the palace!"
Then he snorted, left some space for the father and son to communicate, and went to arrange meals for a while.
Zhu Biao watched happily without making a sound. Zhu Yuanzhang waved him to sit down, and the father and son looked at each other for a while.
