Jinling City.
Today is the day of His Highness Taisun's triumphant return.
Early in the morning, the Jin Yiwei had already blocked the streets outside the city and drove away the idle people.
All the officials of fifth rank and above, military generals and nobles in Beijing, and the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood outside to greet them when all ministries were doing business.
The main road leading to the palace in the city was also crowded with people who came after hearing the news.
Because Zhu Yunzhen was walking slowly on his return journey, the relevant news ahead had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jinling City.
His Highness Taisun was so wise and powerful that he anticipated the enemy's opportunities and used his troops like a god. His new army was so powerful and domineering that it was unstoppable. All this has been widely spread among the people.
Defeated the Japanese pirates in the first battle, captured Songjiang in the second battle, and burned down the old nest in the third battle!
Such an astonishing achievement gradually became a fairy tale as it was passed down from person to person.
"On that day, Cao Guogong intercepted the new army in the street, and His Highness Taisun beheaded him."
"Then, His Highness Taisun began to cast spells and affixed magical talismans to the new army officers and soldiers."
"In an instant, I saw the soldiers of the new army, walking as fast as flying, like fast horses."
"It would take an ordinary person more than half a month to walk from Jinling City to Jiaxing City, but the New Army arrived in only four days."
"On that day, hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates and rebels came to the city of Jiaxing. The army pressed on the city. The people and horses were so dense that it was impossible to see the beginning and the end. Xu Dongjiang, the prefect of Jiaxing at that time, was so frightened that he closed the city gate tightly and waited for death. The people of Jiaxing , everyone thought the end was coming."
A storyteller told the story with gusto and vividness.
Before he finished speaking, someone questioned: "I'm afraid what you said is untrue. When I killed Cao Guogong that day, I saw it not far away, but I didn't see His Highness Taisun affixing the magic talisman to the new army."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rebuttal.
"His Royal Highness Taisun is the reincarnation of a god. Can you see the clues through his spells?"
Although Zhu Yunxuan is only seven years old now, since everyone thinks he is a god, it is not surprising that he has lived for tens of thousands of years. It is natural to call him an old man.
However, if Zhu Yunzhen knew about it, he would probably be very reluctant to have anyone call him that.
I'm only seven years old, you actually call me old?
This sentence attracted countless approvals.
"Yes, yes, yes! You are just a human being with naked eyes. How can you see His Highness Taisun's extraordinary abilities?"
"How dare you question His Highness Taisun's ability? I think he is talking nonsense, right?"
"A frog in a well, just trying to please others."
…
A series of objections left the questioner speechless.
Speaking of which, most people in Jinling participated in the establishment of Zhu Yunxuan as his grandson.
Many people even went to the palace to write petitions.
Now that they see how great their great grandson is, everyone is filled with pride.
It's like seeing your own child succeed.
I don't know how happy I am to hear someone bragging about His Highness the Grand Sun.
No matter how outrageous the claims are, no one is allowed to question them.
"There are not hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates, right? I heard there are only tens of thousands."
Someone whispered again.
"Why did I hear it was more than one million?"
"I've heard that too. Although I don't know if it's true or not, it's definitely more than 100,000 people."
"In the past, there were only hundreds or thousands of Japanese pirates. Why are there so many this time?"
"Nonsense, there are not many people. Can we occupy Songjiang Mansion? Has this happened before?"
"Yes, I heard that if His Highness Taisun hadn't left early, not only Songjiang, Jiaxing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Huzhou would have fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates."
…
The people were discussing.
The storyteller continued.
"At this moment, His Highness Taisun arrived with 500 new army soldiers."
"Good fellow, I saw His Royal Highness the Grand Sun standing in the front room of the carriage, shouting angrily, "The bold Japanese pirates actually sent troops to cause chaos and invaded our territory of the Ming Dynasty. What kind of crime should we do?" As soon as he finished speaking, the sky and the earth changed, and black clouds disappeared all around. At the end of the day, the sun and the moon lose their light, the mountains and rivers lose their color, and the thunder rolls down."
"Five hundred officers and soldiers of the New Army used their thunder skills together to attack the Japanese pirates and rebels. They immediately blasted hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates and rebels to the point where they cried for their parents and fled in panic. The New Army took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill the Japanese pirates. , there were countless casualties.”
At this point, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
"Good kill!"
"Kill with pleasure!"
"As expected of His Majesty the Grand Sun!"
"The new army is so awesome!"
…
Everyone listened happily, and naturally there were many people who rewarded the storyteller.
Similar storytelling stories can be found everywhere in the capital.
The most popular thing in Jinling right now is no longer the story of the Three Kingdoms, but the legend of the emperor's grandson!
Such as "The God traveled to Jiaxing", "The thunder from the sky destroyed the Japanese pirates", "The God descended to collect Songjiang", "Walk on the waves and burn the sea pirates"... Each story has a nose and eyes, and the more it is passed on, the more mysterious it is, and the more outrageous it becomes.
In Jinling City, everyone from eighty-year-old women to three-year-olds are familiar with these stories.
Jinling Military Academy has also changed from an object of doubt to a holy place in the hearts of countless people.
Its status is even higher than that of the Imperial College.
After all, the supervisors of the Imperial College only study and become officials.
The students of the Jinling Military Academy learned magic from His Highness the Grand Sun, how could the Imperial College compare?
Hearing that His Highness Taisun returned triumphantly with the new army today, Jinling City was already in a state of excitement.
Both sides of the main road leading from the city gate to the palace, with three floors inside and three floors outside, were crowded with people coming to watch.
The momentum of his return to Beijing was far greater than that of any other general in the imperial court.
The entire Jinling City, except for this main road, is empty.
After all, they single-handedly promoted His Highness Taisun to the position of crown prince.
After all, a seven-year-old child leading an army into battle is even more legendary.
After all, His Highness Taisun fought so beautifully.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the encouragement of caring people.
Zhu Yunxuan had already written a secret letter to Xu Miaojin, asking her to help brag about his story.
Since you are going to be a magic stick, you have to act like it.
So what if you don’t have power in the court?
So what if the civil servants and military commanders don’t like it?
Once he becomes a "god" recognized by the people, whoever dares to say that he is not half-hearted will immediately be drowned by the people of Jinling City.
This was what Zhu Yunxuan had in mind.
Although public opinion is like water, it comes and goes quickly.
But he also has the blessing of being a crown prince and controls the new army, so he is not without foundation.
"How can you brag about yourself like this? It's so shameless!" Xu Miaojin sat in the yard and muttered in a low voice.
However, after all, she still carried out Zhu Yunxun's instructions unswervingly.
"Although the people in Lao Zhu's family like to brag, they still have real abilities."
"I thought this boy was only good at writing poems, but I didn't expect that his fighting skills are so good. He may not be as good as dad."
She raised her cheeks and looked thoughtful, then said to herself in an imperceptible voice: "Maybe he's more powerful than dad?"
Xu Da was the first hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He was a god in military warfare and was victorious in every battle.
But it seems that dad's battle is not as easy as this boy's?
Xu Miaojin was unwilling but had to admit it.
"I'll see him soon. Then I'll ask him carefully."
As she spoke, a blush appeared on Shang Jian's childish face.
…
Outside Jinling City.
All the officials were waiting quietly.
Huang Zicheng stood in the crowd, looking at the new army slowly approaching in the distance and the prince's car approaching gradually, and his heart was filled with reluctance.
Not just him, many people have different feelings in their hearts.
I thought that His Highness Taisun would be punished for beheading Li Jinglong privately.
If the war on the front line continues to go badly, the position of the crown prince may also be in jeopardy.
When people were sent from the front to report the victory, a big mistake was made.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty thought it was a fake victory, a false report of military merit, and a Japanese pirate pretending to be a traitor.
Unexpectedly, they were all true.
After achieving such great achievements, naturally no one dared to mention the matter of killing Li Jinglong.
Punishment?
how can that be possible?
Li Jinglong prevented His Highness Taisun from leading the army and questioned the new army's combat effectiveness.
Then he deserves to be beheaded!
It turns out that many people in Jinling City sympathized with Li Jinglong and felt that His Highness the Grand Sun was too ruthless. After killing a hero like this, he became an important official in the court.
Now, everyone just claps and praises.
Well done!
Great cut!
The new military's record proves that they are god-like existences.
Is that something Li Jinglong can question casually?
You are so arrogant and ignorant that you deserve to be killed.
As for when I questioned the New Army and sympathized with Li Jinglong, that was of course selective forgetfulness and I have long forgotten it!
What?
Did I question the new army?
No!
You remembered wrong!
Among the military generals and nobles, there were many who were friends with Li Jinglong. Those who had been writing letters to him to avenge his grievances no longer dared to say anything after that.
Everyone still has this bit of vision.
Zhu Yunzhen's carriage drove all the way to the front of the officials.
Only then did he notice that the person standing at the front, commanding all the officials, was actually Zhu Yunwen.
Lao Zhu still hopes that their brothers will reconcile!
pity……
Zhu Yunzhen sighed in his heart.
While thinking, he heard Zhu Yunwen shouting loudly: "The great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, the mighty general led the troops back to the court, and hundreds of officials knelt to welcome him."
With that said, he took the lead in kneeling down.
Behind him, all the officials knelt down.
Zhu Yunzhen got out of the carriage and stood in the front room.
His eyes first fell on Zhu Yunwen who was kneeling on the ground, and then slowly swept over the civil and military officials one by one, and his childish voice sounded like the sound of nature.
"Come here, take down Dali Temple Minister Huang Zicheng."
