After Wang Yao and others showed their cards, Xu Chengzong also put away his arrogance as a prince and went to greet him personally outside the central hall.
If it weren't for the sake of leaving some dignity to his ancestor, King Xu Da of Zhongshan, he would even personally greet him outside the Duke's Mansion.
This is the way of the world. Those who understand current affairs are heroes. Dongchang represented the emperor in the Ming Dynasty. Even the old and meritorious Duke of Wei must treat it with caution.
Xu Chengzong saw Wang Guo and others from a distance, and took a few steps forward to greet them.
At this time, Xu Chengzong still didn't know the purpose of Wang Guo and others coming here, and he was inevitably a little uneasy. Could it be that the emperor found out that he had taken a 16-year-old concubine a year ago, and sent someone to beat him for being old and disrespectful? .
He was worried in his heart, but his expression remained as usual.
After Wang Guo arrived with several people, he took the lead in saluting: "Wang Guo of Dongchang, pay homage to the Duke of Wei..."
Xu Chengzong grinned: "You don't have to be polite, father-in-law, please come in quickly."
"Thank you, Duke Wei." Wang Nao said quickly, and then followed Xu Chengzong towards the lobby.
In the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to look down upon the Duke of Wei.
Just like, no one dares to despise the imperial power.
Dongchang represents the imperial power.
The Duke's Palace of Wei is almost tied to the imperial power. When the imperial power does not decline, it is equally impossible for the Duke's Palace of Wei to decline.
Even though the current Duke of Wei has been away from the central power level for a long time. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
But just two words can make people fascinated and admired, and they will not be forgotten for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Xu Da.
The good brother of Zhu Yuanzhang, the wandering monk, has had a good meal but not the next one.
Extraordinary in military prowess, the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty and the Great Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, referred to as the Great Wall, his right and left arm.
The left prime minister, the general who conquered the captives, the Taifu, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, the Shaofu who participated in the army and state affairs and the crown prince, the Duke of Wei, and the king of Zhongshan, this records Xu Da's life.
The main commander of the Ming army, defeated Chen Youliang, eliminated Zhang Shicheng, expedition to the Central Plains, drove out the Tartars, and restored China.
In fact, Xu Da's military exploits were at the top level in the entire Chinese history.
He regained most of the capital.
It completed the first victory in the entire Northern Expedition in Chinese history and was also the only complete victory.
This is something that the entire nation cannot forget.
Xu Da at that time should also know what kind of glory he created.
When he rode his beloved horse from Qihua Gate into Dadu in high spirits, he should have known that he had accomplished a supreme feat.
Likewise, he also wrote the most glorious chapter for the Ming Empire.
From the time Shi Jingtang dedicated the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan, for hundreds of years, the Han nation was at a disadvantage when fighting against the nomads, throughout the two Song Dynasties.
It was restored in his hands more than four hundred years later.
Wang Shibei decided to pay tribute to the Japanese family in the Central Plains without forgetting to tell Nai Weng.
So many loyal ministers and good generals in the two Song dynasties for more than 400 years, and so many people's ardent expectations, have all become a reality at this moment.
The Mongolian grassland tribes became a vulnerable ethnic group in the hands of Xu Da.
This was the confidence of the Duke of Wei and the foundation for the Duke of Wei to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty.
Even after so many years, Xu Da's fame and achievements can still look after his descendants, and can also become the pride of netizens surnamed Xu thousands of years later.
After everyone entered the lobby, Xu Chengzong warmly welcomed everyone to sit down.
Wait until everyone sits down.
Wang Guo then said with a smile: "My lord, we are presumptuous in coming here to chat during the Chinese New Year."
"Not presumptuous, not presumptuous at all. It's hard work even for you when you are on business abroad. When you arrive at the Duke's Mansion, it's like arriving at your own home. No need to be polite." Xu Chengzong waved his hands and said with a big smile.
At this time, Xu Chengzong was still thinking about what he had done over the years to make people from Dongchang come to see him during the Chinese New Year.
There are differences between Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei still wants to investigate and investigate. Dongchang is the agency that makes the final decision. It is the representative of the imperial power. If he finds himself during the Chinese New Year, it must be something big.
However, for the sake of dignity, Xu Chengzong did not start asking questions as soon as they met. It seemed that he, the Duke of Wei, could not keep his composure at all.
"It is an honor for us slaves to serve His Majesty. We dare not say it is hard."
Xu Chengzong nodded: "Although we are a meritorious family, we are still the same."
At this time, the maid brought tea.
Xu Chengzong also took this opportunity to invite everyone to tea.
Wang Guo took a sip of tea and sighed softly: "What a good tea. Your Majesty, although you are rich all over the world, it is difficult to drink a sip of spring tea like this. We, the slaves, see that Your Majesty is busy with government affairs all day long. It's so tiring, and it feels like needles pricking my heart."
After Xu Chengzong heard Wang Yao's words, he was stunned for a moment.
What does it mean.
Want tea?
its not right.
Although "new tea" is rare, it is easy for His Majesty the Emperor to try it.
At that time, when "new" was launched, everyone in the local area rushed to the capital.
Xu Chengzong glanced at Wang Guo and saw Wang Guo looking straight at him.
This made him feel a little nervous.
He is not afraid of the tiger staring at him, but he is afraid of the eunuch staring at him.
"When Hangzhou's Longjing tea first became famous, it was reported to the Imperial Supervisor. Could it be that the people in Hangzhou are not doing things well and the tea hasn't been delivered yet?"
For a moment, Xu Chengzong couldn't comprehend Wang Yao's profound meaning, so he could only follow Wang Yao's words.
"Mr. Wei Guo has misunderstood. The important point is not tea, but the wonderful spring scenery. On the way from Hangzhou, there is a lot of life. Your Majesty, you have been living in the palace all year round. Although Nanjing is not the capital, you have never been here... …”
At this time, Wang Guo made his words very clear.
Xu Chengzong was just a little late-minded and not very responsive, but he was not stupid.
After listening to Wang Yao's words, a word appeared in his mind.
Southern tour.
Your Majesty is going on a southern tour.
After Xu Chengzong understood it, he became interested instantly. He sat up straight and cleared his throat: "What the prince said is right. Spring is here, but your majesty can't see the beauty of spring and the prosperity of Ming Dynasty. As your majesty's My dear minister, Duke Wei of the Ming Dynasty, I cannot stand idly by."
"Now the country is booming, the national fortune is prosperous, and Nanjing is also very prosperous. I want to take Emperor Taizong Wen out of Peking..." At this point, Xu Chengzong stopped immediately.
What I said was wrong. Emperor Taizongwen Zhu Di was a rebel, and he even trapped his grandfather.
You can't say this.
You definitely can't say this.
Xu Chengzong's words stopped abruptly here, and Wang Nao and others were also stunned.
The Duke of Wei is worthy of being the Duke of Wei, he dares to say anything.
The battle of Jingnan, all the way south, was a rebellion to put it bluntly.
"Emperor Taizong Wen set up two capitals. Firstly, it was because Emperor Taizu Gao's mausoleum was here. Secondly, it was to remind his successors not to forget the difficulty of Emperor Taizu Gao's business and founding of the country. Emperor Wen ascended the throne in Nanjing. Emperor Renzong also grew up in Nanjing, and Emperor Xuanzong also stayed in Nanjing for a long time. Only our Supreme Emperor has never been to Nanjing. "
"If your Majesty doesn't come, I also have an idea. I want to report to His Majesty the Emperor and let his imperial guards come to Nanjing to rule. Don't worry, your Majesty, I know what to do. After the Lantern Festival, I will send a petition to Your Majesty to visit the south." , take a look at the scenery of Jiangnan, take a look at the officials and veterans of Nanjing, and also go to the tomb of Taizu..."
