"Chief, there is a luxury motorcade outside, driving into the village!"
In the grand ancestral hall, Liu Zuchang was holding a shovel and preparing to add the first handful of earth to the base of the stele when a young man from the village hurriedly broke in and interrupted.
Liu Zuchang stopped.
Suspicion flashed away in his eyes, and he hurried out with the elders of the clan to greet him.
The convoy approaches.
When Zhu Xi and Guanyin Nu came down from the carriage, Liu Zuchang hurriedly led the elders to come forward and salute, "I don't know how many distinguished guests..."
"Bold! This is King Qin!"
Zhu Xi, who was about to speak, glared at the talkative attendant.
They are here to join in the fun.
How can you put on airs for the owner?
Everyone in the Liu clan looked on in shock...
Liu Zuchang was the first to come to his senses and hurriedly knelt down to salute, "Liu Zuchang pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin."
Zhu Fang hurriedly bent down to help him, "You're welcome, Patriarch Liu. The king and the princess are returning north to the Beiping fiefdom and passing by your village..."
Liu Zuchang finally understood the purpose of Zhu Xi's visit, and immediately invited him happily: "Your Highness, if you don't mind, can you and the princess bear witness to the ever-lasting friendship between my Liujia Village and Tuqiao Village?"
Do I witness?
Zhu Fang was surprised and suddenly became more interested.
Liu Zuchang gave him a lot of face!
Although he cannot appear on the merit monument in the Liu family ancestral hall like the fourth child.
Can serve as a witness.
If someone mentions this matter in the future, he can always mention it, right?
At least, his name will be mentioned, right?
However, Zhu Xi was more curious. After agreeing, he walked into the Liu family ancestral hall and asked curiously: "Clan Chief Liu, Tuqiao Village just saved your daughter, why do the whole village thank them? It was unanimously agreed that in the clan, Ancestral hall, erect a monument for Tuqiao Village?"
A clan ancestral hall.
It symbolizes the feng shui, luck and inheritance of a family...
Even if you are the leader of the clan, you can't just say what you say.
"If only Xiaomin's family benefits from eradicating this gang of thieves, Xiaomin will never do this..."
Through Liu Zuchang's emotional narration, Zhu Ming finally understood.
It turns out that this group of thieves forces the people of the surrounding villages to pay them protection fees every year.
Even if they just pay the protection fee, these bandits are still raping the eldest girls in the village.
…
In short, every household in Liujia Village hates this gang of thieves.
Zhu Xi observed the ancestral hall, "Your Liu family ancestral hall is quite impressive. I wonder who the ancestors came from?"
"Our clan with the surname Liu can trace its roots back to Liu Yi, the champion general of the Jin Dynasty."
Hearing this, Zhu Xi paused and turned his head in surprise, "Is this the Liu family that the Jin Dynasty occupied Jingzhou, separated Yuzhou, and Jiangzhou, and whose younger brother Liu Pan separated Yanzhou?"
Liu Zuchang nodded proudly, "His Royal Highness is so knowledgeable that he even knows this period of history."
"Our ancestor Liu Yi fought with Liu Yu and lost, so some of the family's children came to join their uncle Liu Pan. After a long period of time, our branch was finally retained."
Zhu Fang glanced at Liu Zuchang, who was full of pride.
These places with records in their ancestral halls are powerful.
Most of our ancestors were noble.
Take another look at his house...
It’s really not easy for the old man!
In such a rotten family, only the old man survived in the end, and he was forced to tinker with it to reach the current situation.
Look through history.
So far, there is only one old man in his family.
"Your Highness, we're here." Liu Zuchang pointed to the front to remind.
Zhu Xi looked in the direction of Liu Zuchang's finger.
A huge stone tablet is erected in the middle of the ancestral hall courtyard.
This kind of smooth stone tablet is very valuable even if it is stone.
Mining and polishing are very difficult.
It is by no means something that can be obtained in just a few days. It only shows that despite the fact that the Liu family can only live in a rural area now, the entire village has less than 10,000 acres of land.
But his background is still very rich!
This thing is definitely ancestral.
Zhu Xi and Guanyin Nu walked a few steps quickly and came to the stone tablet.
The inscription on the stele reads: In the ninth year of Hongwu, Tuqiao Village’s military team passed by this village... Descendants of the Liu family should bear in mind the kindness of Tuqiao Village with a grateful heart. The two villages have been friendly from generation to generation...
Zhu Silang, Yang Ba...
Zhu Xi looked at the name under the writing and couldn't help but smile, hiding the envy in his heart.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Clan Chief Liu, I will lay the foundation for this beautiful talk with you."
"Your Highness is willing, and I, the Liujia Village, can only ask for it." Liu Zuchang said, and hurriedly handed a brand new shovel to Zhu Ping.
Zhu Xi looked at the well-forged shovel in his hand.
According to Liu Zuchang.
After Lao Si and the others eliminated this group of horse bandits, they learned that this group of horse bandits forcibly married Miss Liu's family and also targeted the Liu family's blacksmith shop.
I want the Liu family's blacksmith shop to help me make weapons.
The Liu family was really forced to forge weapons for the horse bandits.
As long as he is discovered by the court, the crime will be equivalent to conspiracy!
Based on this alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Liu family erected monuments for Laosi and Tuqiao Village, and that the two villages have been friendly for generations.
After gathering his thoughts, Zhu Xi smiled and said: "Clan Chief Liu, let's get started."
"good!"
Crackling...
As the two people buried the first handful of earth on the base of the stone tablet, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums suddenly sounded in the ancestral hall.
Liu Zuchang kindly asked him to stay, and Zhu Feng and his party had lunch in Liujia Village before setting off.
Leave the village.
Zhu Fang saw that Yao Guangxiao was a little distracted and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Mr. Yao? During the meal, I found that Mr. Yao was a little distracted?"
Yao Guangxiao came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "It's okay for me to be a poor monk."
Zhu Fang knew that Yao Guangxiao had not told the truth to him, but he was too lazy to ask. He handed the two letters to the attendant, "Hurry back to Beijing. These two letters, one is for the queen mother, and the other is sent to Tuqiao." village."
This was written at Liu's house at noon, and Guanyin Nu borrowed the Liu's study room.
…
As the motorcade set off, Guanyin slave climbed on the car window and watched the attendants hurrying back and said with a smile: "Miaoyun doesn't want to follow us north. Now that my fourth brother has been erected a monument and written a letter of thanks by someone from a village, he will definitely be very happy, right? "
…
Just as Zhu Xi and Guanyin Nu continued their journey north.
Jinling City.
Mao Xiang finally received the latest news about Zhu Di.
Entering the palace in a hurry.
Royal study room.
After Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and read the secret report, he raised his head and looked at Mao Xiang, "Are there any specific circumstances at that time? For example, the details of Zhu Silang commanding the villagers of Tuqiao Village and himself killing the enemy?"
Mao Xiang knew long ago that this secret report would not satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang, so he hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty, not yet. Our Jinyi guards beside Zhu Silang are unable to contact us now. If we forcibly send Xiaoqi from the stronghold along the way to contact him, I am worried about him will be exposed.”
"Then let's wait until they come back." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded understandingly.
"Is the guard station where Qiufu Qiufu is stationed at this time on the border?"
"Not here."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered slightly, "This man has some abilities. Go tell Li Wenzhong and ask Feng Sheng, who is stationed outside the pass, to adjust Qiu Fu to the border."
"Let's see if he's capable of being a sharp knife!"
"Yes!" Mao Xiang laughed secretly in his heart.
Qiu Fu is in luck!
He used King Yan as bait, and the prince must have felt uncomfortable.
But moving Qiu Fu to the border was definitely not to vent his dissatisfaction.
It was Qiu Fu, a small family member, who fell into the eyes of the emperor.
Prepare to cultivate Qiu Fu.
Measures like this have been frequently arranged by the Emperor without leaving a trace in recent years.
As the emperor's eagle dog, how could he not know what these measures meant.
These young generals, who have been arranged by the emperor and given opportunities to practice, will ensure the orderly inheritance of the Ming Dynasty's military fortunes and succeed the Huaixi martial arts in the future!
As long as Qiu Fu can seize this opportunity and stand up on the border.
It can change from being in the eyes to being simple in the heart of the emperor!
After waving Mao Xiang away.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, paced back and forth, and murmured: "He almost killed half of Lan Yu's life before. We thought he was very brave personally, but we didn't expect that this bastard also has commanding skills."
"How did he command during the battle that night..."
Zhu Yuanzhang especially wanted to know the details of the battle that night.
However, even if you don't know, as an emperor on horseback.
He also knew very well how difficult it was to command a group of farmers.
But commanding a group of peasants and winning the battle is even harder!
"If this bastard is willing to listen to our arrangements and allow him to practice for a few years before he can be on his own, then we can only rely on our old brother Huaixi!"
"Why do these people think that our Ming Dynasty cannot do without them, so they are becoming more and more prosperous day by day!"
…
When Zhu Yuanzhang was angry.
Zhu Di was very happy.
Zhou Lang drove the carriage.
He was lying on the grain bag in the car, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, crossing his legs, and humming a tune. He was very happy.
After exercising three days ago.
Folks already have experience.
After coming out of seclusion this time, no matter how big the storm was, he still had a lot of confidence.
In short, everything is developing for the better.
As a result, he graciously ignored a look of "jealousy, envy, and hatred" not far away.
I’m not going to keep a small notebook anymore.
"Qianhu, stop looking." Zhu Neng said helplessly: "Zhu Silang is just a shameless person! The more I look at him, the angrier he becomes! I don't want to work with this person for a whole day!"
"After this time, when I see him in the future, I will definitely take a detour! If you can't offend him, I can hide!"
Qiu Fu was amused and turned to glance at Zhu Neng, "Okay, his plan to raise bandits has indeed pushed us down a dangerous path."
"But as long as we remain loyal, I believe that even if His Majesty knows and finds out the truth, he will sympathize with us."
Zhu Neng glared at Zhu Di with a dark face, and then looked away.
Qiu Fu glanced at the three stripes on Zhu Neng's shoulders, changed the subject and said: "The logo has been implemented in the army for two days. I feel good. We will arrive in Peiping in a few days."
"After I arrive in Peking, I plan to write a note to His Majesty and report the matter to the court. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Zhu Neng's expression changed instantly.
Being a bandit is already very dangerous!
He thought that Qianhu had forgotten this matter, but he didn't expect that he would always remember it!
"Thousands of households, the military sets up signs and only recognizes the signs but not the people. For many high-ranking military officials in the court, this is equivalent to digging up people's ancestral graves!"
Qiu Fu smiled, "I know."
How could he not know.
Only recognize the logo but not the person.
Once all officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty reach this consensus, those Wu Xun who hold high positions and control the army can be replaced by people with the same rank mark at any time.
Nepotism, township-party relations, and adoptive father-son relations in the military will be greatly weakened.
"But I think this matter is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is also good for us as generals. The court can rest assured that we are safer, isn't it?"
Zhu Neng felt powerless and knew that he could not object. He glanced at Zhu Di and suggested: "It's okay to present the memorial, but it must be expressed in a different way."
"Don't mention that we are already experimenting in the military."
"Let's just say that we saw Zhu Silang training the people of Tuqiao Village in this way in order to deal with the risk of leaving the country. We were inspired and felt that this was conducive to strengthening the army."
"So I advise the court."
"I also want to make it clear that our guards come from all over the world. The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the difficulties of the soldiers. I ask your majesty to allow us to try it in the army."
Qiu Fu couldn't help but laugh.
This is to let Zhu Silang offend Huaixi Wuxun.
"Okay! I'm not happy with Zhu Silang either. In the past few days, every time I see him strolling around those ten strong horses, I feel sore and bloody!"
Qiu Fu smiled and agreed.
Anyway, Zhu Silang is just a farmer.
No matter how miserable Huaixi Wuxun was, could he find a farmer to take revenge?
These honorable men are all worthy of face.
What's more, Zhu Silang is still His Majesty's township party, and he also has Cao Guo's public relations photo.
Their backstage is much tougher than the two of them.
Zhu Neng finally took a breath and deliberately smiled brightly at Zhu Di...
"Mr. Zhu..."
Zhou Lang, who was driving the car, turned his head and reminded in a low voice, "Qianhu and Deputy Qianhu were staring at us all the way. Their faces were dark before, but now they are smiling again. I feel that they are smiling with some evil intentions."
'Not only do they have bad intentions, these two enemies are clearly laughing very obscenely! '
Zhu Di nodded and cursed. In fact, he had noticed it long ago...
