When Emperor Hongzhi saw Huaien running towards him, he no longer cared about royal etiquette.
He got off the dragon chariot directly and walked quickly towards the white-haired old man.
Wynn finally fell at the feet of Emperor Hongzhi. He shouted hoarsely from his chest: "Old slave Huaien, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Tears were also welling up in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes. He tried hard to keep the tears from flowing out.
The emperor's tears cannot be seen by his ministers.
Wynn raised his head.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at his white hair and plump face covered with wrinkles.
He leaned over and hugged Wynn, unable to hold back his tears: "My old Prime Minister, you are back!"
The eighteen-year-old emperor cried with a seventy-year-old slave.
Chang Feng knew how many hardships and obstacles Emperor Hongzhi and Huai En had experienced along the way, and how many mountains of swords and seas of fire they had to walk through.
When he saw this scene, he felt a soreness in his nose.
Emperor Hongzhi was crying. Suddenly, I heard the cry of a child at my feet.
Emperor Hongzhi took a look and saw a six or seven-year-old, white, tender, and cute little girl kneeling next to Wynn, clenching her hands into small pink fists, rubbing her eyes, and crying.
Emperor Hongzhi asked: "Old Prime Minister, who is this girl?"
Huaien said: "Ah, this baby's name is Chang Tian, she is Chang Feng's sister."
"Last year Qiu Changfeng went to Qufu. The old slave was afraid that the traitors would kidnap her and threaten Changfeng. So he kept her with him."
"The old slave regards her as his own granddaughter."
"Chang Tian, don't cry. How did I teach you? Quickly bow down and bow down to the emperor three times!"
In order for Tangtang to learn the three bows and nine kowtows, Wynn spent more than eleven kilograms of pig head meat and took away two pigtails of garlic.
Tangtang kowtowed in a dignified manner: "Slave Chang Tian, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Raise your head and let me take a look."
Tangtang raised her face.
Emperor Hongzhi wiped his tears and said with a smile: "This little baby looks so happy. He looks very much like my sixth sister."
Princess Xianyou, the sixth sister of Emperor Hongzhi, is the same age as Tangtang and is a favorite in the palace.
Not only Emperor Hongzhi liked her, but Xianzong, Empress Dowager Zhou, and Empress Dowager Wang also liked her.
Even Concubine Wan Guifei, who is mean and cruel by nature, likes her.
Emperor Hongzhi asked Xiao Jing: "Is Chang Feng here?"
Xiao Jing shouted: "Chang Feng comes forward to listen to the holy teachings!"
Chang Feng lowered his head and took small steps to kneel down in front of Emperor Hongzhi.
Tangtang was very surprised at first: "Brother!" After a while, she started crying again: "Hey, I thought my brother didn't want Tangtang anymore!"
Huaien said quickly: "Chang Tian, please be careful before you."
Tangtang had no choice but to close her mouth in frustration.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "It's a little baby, it doesn't matter."
Emperor Hongzhi took off a piece of jade from his waist and said, "Chang Feng. Last year you went to Qufu to run an errand for me. This caused the separation of your brother and sister."
"I will give this piece of jade to you brothers and sisters. I will compensate you."
This was the first time that Emperor Hongzhi spoke to Chang Feng in person since Xianzong's death.
Chang Feng took the jade jue with both hands: "I and my sister, thank you for the emperor's reward."
Most of the civil and military ministers only thought that Chang Feng looked familiar: This man seemed to have been the Han Dynasty's personal general in the East Palace, right?
They didn't know that Chang Feng had made three great achievements in protecting the crown prince.
They saw Emperor Hongzhi giving the imperial jade to a Qianhu guard wearing a flying fish suit. Everyone is envious.
At the same time, they also glanced at Chang Fenggao: The relationship between the Jin Yiwei Qianhu and the emperor is unusual! He must be Long Wo's confidant when he was hiding in the mansion.
Changfeng followed Huaien and Tangtang to get the glory. Today, I had a great time in front of all the civil and military officials.
How great an honor is it to be granted a jade jewel by the emperor? Let’s see who dares to look down on me in the future.
Chang Feng's clan leader Chang Laohou is also in the honorable class.
When he saw this scene, he gritted his teeth with regret: I should have known that this kid had such a big future. A few years ago, I should have let him adopt me as my legitimate grandson!
But I... actually let him sit at the children's table during dinner!
Nowadays, people are not even willing to change the clan name or enter the family tree.
I deserve the decline of my Xing'anhou clan!
Emperor Hongzhi helped Hua En up: "Old Prime Minister, let's go to Beijing hand in hand. You want to help me create a prosperous age!"
Huaien said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it! It is disrespectful to go with the emperor and your life will be shortened."
"Besides, the title of internal minister is inappropriate. The old slave is now just Si Xiang Fengyu of Xiaoling!"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Look, how could I forget about business? Xiao Jing, declare the decree!"
Xiao Jing unfolded a piece of yellow silk and clothed the imperial edict: "Heaven carries the emperor, the edict says. Feng Huai'en is the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial eunuch, and also the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse eunuch and the admiral eunuch of the East Factory. He is in charge of the three major battalions of the capital and the twelfth regiment camp. , factory guard. I admire this."
Good guy. Wynn directly became the Ming Dynasty's internal minister, the largest military leader and the largest spy chief.
Compared with him, Wan An, the chief minister of the cabinet, is considered a junior Karami.
The wording of this imperial edict is also extremely gracious to Huaien.
The imperial edicts of the Ming Emperor were divided into two types. One is the imperial edict written on yellow silk cloth that says, "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says." One is Huang Zhezi's imperial edict that begins with "You Shangyu".
Taizu founded the country in response to heaven and called himself the "Emperor of Heaven." The imperial edict that begins with this title is only used for canonizing princes and queens, starting wars, canonizing important ministers, and other military and state affairs.
Imperial edicts beginning with "There is an edict" are more casual. The emperor wanted to build a garden, dig a pond, etc., and he also issued an edict "with an imperial edict."
In the imperial edict, the wording is "sealing" Huaien, not "ordering" Huaien. "Feng" and "ming" also have completely different meanings.
Emperor Hongzhi is returning to Beijing with Hua En.
He invited Wynn to ride with him. Was rejected by Wynn with a serious face.
Emperor Hongzhi was helpless. He could only say: "Then the old Prime Minister, please ride back to Beijing with me."
Wynn took the initiative and said to Chang Feng, "Tangtang and I will ride on your horse."
Chang Feng said: "Yes. I will lead your horse and whip for you."
Not all cats and dogs have the qualifications to lead horses and whips for the Prime Minister.
Civil and military officials saw Huaien getting on Chang Feng's horse. Changfeng walks with his head high and his chest high, leading his horse. They were even more convinced that the status of that Jinyiwei Qianhu was definitely extraordinary!
Not to mention the jade gift given by the emperor. When Eunuch Huai'en rode back to Beijing, why didn't he choose someone else's horse instead of his?
He and Eunuch Wynn are definitely old acquaintances and have a close relationship!
This time the emperor went out of the city to welcome his virtuous ministers, and naturally it was Huaien who stole the show. The second person who steals the limelight is Chang Feng.
Tangtang was riding on the horse and farted loudly.
Wynn smiled and said: "Little greedy cat, I asked you not to eat so much garlic pork head this morning. Fortunately, I didn't let it go in front of the emperor, otherwise I would be surprised."
Chang Feng was in a good mood and joked: "That's right. Tangtang, you are assassinating the Ming Dynasty's internal minister. Jin Yiwei will arrest you."
Wynn smiled and said: "Pit Beng is considered an accidental injury, not an assassination. There is no way to arrest him."
