Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 144 I'm Back
Hongwu nine years, December.

Goose-feather-like snow covered the entire imperial city early, and the common people were decorated with lanterns one by one, full of festive and festive atmosphere.

The common people are not only happy that the Spring Festival is coming soon, but also that our respected Highness Liao Wang has returned.

As for His Royal Highness King Liao's trip to Bashu this time, it was spread among the people not long ago.

The rumors at the beginning were quite normal, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Liao made a clever arrangement and entered U-Tsang alone.

The Khampa Buddhist Kingdom, which was subdued by the Buddha Treasure National Teacher and let Wu Sizang, surrender to our Daming Yunyun.

Although this statement is a bit wrong, at least it is normal, but later on, the versions that are promoted become more and more abnormal.

His Royal Highness the King of Liao killed Wu Sizang with a single sword, fought eight hundred rounds with the Fobao National Master, and opened the heaven gate with his last move, completely subduing the Fobao National Master.

Anyway, what he said was very exciting, and the common people just listened, His Royal Highness King Liao is no different from that fairy.

But the common people were very excited, but Zhu Qi was not so happy.

Because he not only brought back Bai Tang Yu'er, but also brought back Bai Dongfang, Tang Xiaozu and Bai Cui'er.

Now that I have planned to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about this matter, it is of course impossible to keep these parties in the gathering place of Bashu Li nationality.

So when Zhu Qi returned to Yingtian Mansion, he immediately went to find his elder brother Zhu Biao.

Because when Zhu Qi came back, he was in a hurry, and he didn't inform the government office along the way.

So when Zhu Biao saw Zhu Qi coming to find him, Zhu Biao who was in the East Palace was also very happy, and the first sentence he opened his mouth said:

"Third brother, when did you come back? Have you seen the father? Hurry up, I will take you to see the father!
Royal Father these days, I can't even mention how happy I am, thanks to your contribution in Bashu, Qinghai is now in my hands, Daming, and the world will be restored soon! "

Zhu Biao was very happy, and pulled Zhu Qi to find Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Qi first ran to Zhu Biao's side, naturally there was his reason.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Qi said to Zhu Biao:

"Brother, I have something important to ask you first."

Seeing Zhu Qi's extremely serious expression, Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and then said:

"What's the matter? Did you ask your wife how she is? Don't worry, the girl from the Xu family has been with her mother all day long. You came back just in time. The imperial doctor said that Princess Liao is about to give birth in a month's time."

Regarding Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Qi had gone back to Liao King's bedroom before, but Xu Miaoyun was not there, saying that he went to chat with Empress Ma.

Zhu Qi naturally didn't ask Xu Miaoyun about it, and then continued to ask:

"Brother, it's not about this matter. What my younger brother wants to ask is, has there been any news about King Xiaoming in the court recently?"

"King Xiaoming?"

Zhu Biao frowned, then looked around and whispered:

"I didn't expect you to even hear about this?

Not long ago, Zhu Liangzu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, sent a secret report, saying that there was indeed news of King Xiaoming's sister in Bashu.

If your father hadn't called you back to the palace earlier, you would have been on your way, and your father originally planned to entrust this matter to you. "

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Qi asked nervously:

"What is the father going to do?"

Zhu Biao said with a serious expression:
"The emperor's family sometimes cannot help themselves."

Zhu Qi's face became gloomy, and seeing Zhu Biao suddenly laughed, he said:

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to kill Xiaoming Wang's sister.

She is just a woman, how capable she can be, but this woman is the younger sister of King Xiaoming, she must not be living among the people. "

Zhu Qi was taken aback for a moment, and said dumbfoundingly:
"Then if I say, I brought this younger sister of King Ming to Yingtian Mansion, what do you think, big brother?"

Zhu Biao was taken aback, his mouth opened slightly:

"You, you brought her back?"

Zhu Qi nodded and continued:
"Not only did I bring it back, there is one more thing, I want to confess to you big brother."

"Say, what else can happen?"

Zhu Qi said very seriously:
"I'm also married to her daughter's."

"what?"

Zhu Biao was taken aback, and before he could speak, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice behind him:
"Third brother, third child, you really deserve to be the one who always gives me something unexpected."

Zhu Qi was so frightened when he heard this voice, he turned his head quickly and saw Zhu Yuanzhang wearing a dragon robe, standing at the door.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Qi didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down on the chair, pointed to Zhu Qi and said:

"Come here, third child."

Zhu Qina's calves were weak, and Zhu Biao who was beside him pushed Zhu Qi hard, and then pushed Zhu Qi to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Qi thought of countless words in his mind, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang full of majesty, those words were stuck in his throat, and he was speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"If you didn't look for me as soon as you came back, and went straight to your elder brother, I knew something must have happened to you.

After all the calculations, I didn't expect you to marry the daughter of Xiaoming Wang's younger sister!

Tell me, what is going on! "

Zhu Qi was so bullied by Zhu Yuanzhang, how could he dare to hide anything, so he hurriedly talked about the meeting between himself and Bai Tang Yu'er, the two fell in love with each other, and the marriage competition later on. come out.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, he asked in a deep voice:

"So, Bai Tang Yu'er is already your wife?"

Zhu Qi bit the bullet and nodded, worrying whether Zhu Yuanzhang would do something cruel to them.

But he saw that the prince Zhu Biao beside him had a rather weird expression, he didn't look worried at all, on the contrary he looked happy, but it was hard to say it.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and asked in a deep voice:
"Third brother, are you worried that I will kill Bai Cui'er and Bai Tang Yu'er?"

Isn't that right?If you don't worry about this, Zhu Qi won't have any worries!

But these words must not be said casually, Zhu Qi can only bite the bullet and say:

"Father Huangzhai has a kind heart, so it is naturally impossible to do such a thing.

What's more, Xiao Ming Wang died unexpectedly back then, but the world spread word of mouth and misunderstood his father.

With this opportunity, why not announce to the world that King Xiao Ming's niece has become Hai'er's wife, isn't this the proof that there is no quarrel between King Xiao Ming's Han family and our main family? "

After Zhu Qi finished speaking cautiously, he saw Zhu Biao laughed and said:

"Father, what the third child said is exactly the same as what you think!"

Zhu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then saw Zhu Yuanzhang patted his sleeves and said:

"I'm worrying, this little sister of King Ming Ming, if she has a child, which princess should the boy marry, and which prince should the girl marry.

I originally chose the fourth child, but I didn't expect that your third child would be the first to do anything, which caused me a lot of troubles!

On the fourth side, let's get married again. "

Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking with a smile, stood up, looked at Zhu Qi who was still in a daze, raised his voice and said:
"What are you still doing in a daze, take me to meet my in-laws!"

After being reminded by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Qi could be considered to have reacted.

At first I thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would ruthlessly kill him, but after thinking about it carefully, this Bai Cui'er is not a man, and her child is a girl.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the world has nothing to do with women.

Xiao Mingwang's younger sister is actually the best marriage partner!

It's not that he wants to win over some interest group, where did King Xiao Ming come from!

It's purely a matter of reputation!
Everyone in the world says that King Xiao Ming was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, even if it was true that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to get rid of King Xiao Ming,

This matter must not be spread like this by everyone in the world. At any rate, it should be given to the female generation of King Xiao Ming's lineage, and bestowed with glory and wealth. The world will not say it too badly, right?

After Zhu Qi figured this out, he realized what it meant to be a fan of the bystanders and the intruders!
But fortunately, he caught up with a Mingjun like Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he was strict with officials, he was not strict with the people at all. On the contrary, he was very tolerant and cherished his reputation among the people.

This is what a real wise king should do.

Zhu Qi took Zhu Yuanzhang directly to the outside of the palace, where Bai Tang Yu'er and his family were placed for the time being.

Originally, Bai Dongfang and the others were still very worried about their own fate and what would happen in the end.

But seeing Zhu Qi come back with a relaxed face, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

But when they heard that the emperor was coming, they tensed up again.

As for whether Bai Cui'er would have any hatred or hostility towards Zhu Yuanzhang, that's not the case.

First of all, Bai Cui'er didn't dare to have hatred, she was just a daughter, so she didn't have any ambitions.

Secondly, the enmity between Zhu Yuanzhang and her is actually not very deep.

On the bright side, the death of King Xiaoming was an accident, and Zhu Yuanzhang also announced to the world that he punished Liao Yongzhong for not taking good care of King Xiaoming.

At least in terms of attitude, Zhu Yuanzhang and the Han family did not tear their skins apart.

In the end, Bai Cui'er already had a family and a family, and she just wanted to live a peaceful life.

As for Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu, that is even more so.

Although Bai Tang Yu'er was usually careless, it was the first time she saw the emperor, and the relationship between them was quite complicated, and she also looked cautious.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and chatted with Bai Dongfang, Tang Xiaozu, and Bai Cui'er graciously.

He didn't talk too much about King Ming, only about the matter between Zhu Qi and Bai Tang Yu'er.

Now that the two are married, although they haven't gone through the marriage ceremony on the Han side, they have gone through the procedures on the Li side after all.

Now the two families are the official in-laws.

At that time, I will announce it to the world and let everyone know that King Xiaoming's niece is now the daughter-in-law of my Zhu family.

Then there are some rewards.

Bai Dongfang was meritorious in taking care of Xiao Mingwang's younger sister, so he gave a letter of appointment to the chieftain and named him Marquis of Ping Yi.

Bai Cui'er officially restored Han's surname, made her the princess, and rewarded three thousand households in the city.

Bai Tang Yu'er has nothing to reward, she is already Zhu Qi's wife, so the status of Princess Liao is not the best reward.

But he also gave some gold, silver and jewelry, saying that he would help them hold another wedding in the future.

After some rewards, Zhu Yuanzhang still had a lot of government affairs to do, so naturally he couldn't stay for long.

Zhu Yuanzhang got up to leave, Zhu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent him away.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and lifted Zhu Qi's collar when he accompanied him to the door.

"Third brother, you haven't reported your duties to me yet. The ministers are all waiting for you. Come quickly. You have to tell everything that happened in Gaochang."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's cheerful expression, Zhu Qi knew what he was going to do, didn't he just want to brag?
That's all, that's all, for the sake of Bai Tang Yu'er and the others' identities being settled so happily.

The credit for this trip to Gaochang, I, King Liao, alone has recited it!

With such determination, Zhu Qi followed Zhu Yuanzhang to brag.

It's bragging, but it's just a debriefing.

It's just that the process of this debriefing is really weird, it can even be said to be legendary.

He survived the assassination, and by coincidence, escaped all kinds of strict pursuit by Beiyuan.

He didn't run away when he found an opportunity, but ran to Gaochang alone, killed the Beiyuan envoys, and forced Fobao Guoshi to seek refuge with Daming!
What is it called?This is called the style of Han and Tang Dynasties!

The envoys in the Han and Tang Dynasties liked to do this kind of thing, killing envoys from other countries without agreeing with each other, or commanding foreign troops to sweep the Western Regions and so on.

Those are all things clearly recorded in the historical records!

As soon as they saw the excited writing of the historian beside them, everyone knew that this was a story that would definitely be talked about by future generations.

There is one more legend in the legend of His Royal Highness King Liao!
Dealing with those officials is really not what Zhu Qi is good at.

Fortunately, this time I was not debating Confucianism with them, but just talking about my experience in Gaochang.

Although Zhu Qi is already working very hard, he wants to narrate this story as a no big deal.

But the more you speak in an understatement tone, why does it feel like you are pretending to be more forceful?
Looking at the stunned looks of those civil servants and military generals, Zhu Qi couldn't help thinking deeply.

In fact, it is not because I am brave and fearless. I have read the history books in advance, and I know that the master of Fobao is my own, so I went to Gaochang!
But you can't tell them here, and no one will believe you if you tell them, right?

After the job report was finally over, the officials around him rushed forward and started asking questions.

Maybe it's some Zhu Qi's opinion of Master Fobao?

What do you think of the Qinghai War?

What should I do next to deal with Wang Baobao?

The one Zhu Qi asked was dizzy and tinnitus. Anyway, he didn't know what to ask, so he said that he just came back and was too tired.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Qi's report was completed, and he looked a little tired from dealing with the problems of the officials, so he didn't make things difficult for Zhu Qi, so he asked Zhu Qi to go back to rest first.

And Zhu Yuanzhang and the others naturally had to discuss other government affairs.

Zhu Qina felt as if he was about to receive an amnesty, so he hurriedly bowed his hands and bid farewell.

Jogging all the way out of the Yizheng Hall, Zhu Qi impatiently went to his bedroom.

Just when I saw the door of the bedroom, I saw Xu Miaoyun with a big belly.

Zhu Qi stood on the spot and waved at Xu Miaoyun:
"My lady, I'm back."
