Daming heir

Chapter 178
Under everyone's shocked gaze.

Zhu Di walked straight in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, bent down and stretched out his hands, supporting Zhang Zhiyuan's arms with both hands, and held them up firmly.

Countless times on the frontier fortress in Beiping, never has His Royal Highness the King of Yan shown such affection and respect for people.

Once again, the eyes of everyone looking at Zhang Zhiyuan changed once again.

This one is going to be great!

Zhang Zhiyuan was supported by Zhu Di, and his heart moved slightly.

It's just that his eyes were always extremely firm, and he kept his head down as if he didn't dare to look directly at His Royal Highness Yan Wang.

At this time, Zhu Di had already moved his feet, put his hand on Zhang Zhiyuan's shoulder, and turned around, as if to announce to the people around him that he had won another strong general.

After some silent showing off.

Zhu Di patted the iron armor on Zhang Zhiyuan's shoulder heavily.

"How lucky is Daming to have such a strong general, how lucky is this king to have such a strong general!"

This is toning.

Zhu Di looked back at Zhang Zhiyuan: "Three out and three out, use the weak to suppress the strong enemy, and show the might of our Han family. This king will definitely not allow such a strong general to be humbled, and he should entrust him with a heavy responsibility with the key point!"

This is for the sake of clarity.

Everyone knows that this young man, who has only been in the frontier for more than a month, already has a bright future that is so big that he can't even imagine it now.

For a while, the voices of echoing echoed endlessly, resounding on the frontier in this cold winter and snowy season.

But Zhang Zhiyuan said in a low voice modestly: "This is a sign of duty, and I dare not be praised so highly by Your Highness."

"No! You deserve it!" Zhu Di directly put one hand on his hip and waved the other, staring at Zhang Zhiyuan eagerly with his eyes shining brightly: "You have made meritorious service, and this king will reward and punish you clearly. The guard capital of Yan Palace still needs a commander." , I will give it to you!"

Everyone present knew that King Yan wanted to reward Zhang Zhiyuan generously, but no matter what, they never thought that the reward would be so generous.

According to the emperor's ancestral precepts, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty can set up a guard capital for the palace.There are three commanders and six members from thousands of households. These people form the core of the palaces of the princes, and they are also military forces that can be directly commanded by the princes.

And as the northern vassals of the Ming Dynasty became vassals in these years, the imperial court used the frontier vassals to control the northern frontier defense and control the frontier army.

The guards of the princes' mansions, with the military system of the princes' mansions, are superior to the frontier troops, and are often the real confidantes of the kings.

This is like, the Qianhu of Chaohe who was present was guarding the door of the house for Daming and guarding the Beiping Mansion.

But the Guard Dusi of King Yan's Mansion is the one who looks after the house of King Yan's Mansion.

Zhang Zhiyuan was also shocked. Since he came to Beiping, the reason why he went out of the fortress one after another was to stand out in front of the King of Yan as soon as possible, so as to fulfill the heavy responsibility and high expectations entrusted to him by the emperor's grandson.

But he didn't expect that he would become a member of Prince Yan's mansion all of a sudden?
Complicated emotions grew in Zhang Zhiyuan's heart, but in desperation he stuck to the bottom line.

Perhaps, King Yan did have the capacity to know people well and employ them without doubt.

But after all, he was the first to get acquainted with the emperor's grandson, and when he was most difficult, it was the emperor's grandson who supported his family regardless of each other.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan kept silent, Zhu Di thought he was shocked by this reward.

He immediately laughed lightly, and pushed Zhang Zhiyuan: "Why, but you despise the stinginess of this king's reward?"

Zhang Zhiyuan immediately came back to his senses, bowed his hands and clasped his fists, and his address changed silently: "What virtue and ability do you have to receive such a generous reward from Your Highness. This subordinate will obey His Highness's orders and serve His Highness to the death!"

"Hahaha!"

In the Snowy North Kingdom, the laughter of Zhu Di, King of Yan of Ming Dynasty, resounded between the heaven and the earth, mixing with everything in the world.

It seems that he should have grown up in this world.

"It's snowing heavily, and the New Year's Eve is approaching, so the Yuan thief is just running away in a hurry."

"Zhiyuan will return to Peiping with me, and we will spend this year's festival together!"

……

"Very big snow."

The 23rd uncle Zhu Qin, whose whole body was wrapped into a fur ball, was held in Tang Queqing's arms, his hands tightly wrapped around Sister Tang's neck, only two eyes were exposed, staring at the sky and falling down continuously. snowflakes.

Out of curiosity, he looked at the surrounding family members who were walking in the snow in Beijing, and quietly took a pink, tender and fleshy little hand out of the glove, spread his fingers like lotus roots, and grasped the sky one by one. Then, he grabbed a good ball of snowflakes in the palm of his hand.

Snapped!
A soft sound.

Zhu Qiang trembled all over, hurriedly stuffed his hands into the gloves, hid under Tang Queqing's shoulders, poked his head quietly, and looked at the emperor's father who was staring at him.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked helpless, and gave Xiao 23 a vicious look: "Play in the snow again, and you will be banned from staying in the East Palace without dignity!"

Zhu Chen was really taken aback at this moment.

Hastily suppressed his mouth and said in a low voice: "Father, my son dare not."

But snowflakes are really fun...

Seeing that the emperor's father was humming and turning his head to look at the distant Huangzhuang, Zhu Qin twisted his buttocks and turned around to look for Yunxi's good nephew.

Zhu Yunxi, who was walking in the front, was also wrapped in a big mink sweater and a thick cloak outside, and he held the cloak tightly to his chest with his hands from the inside, only then did he feel a little warm.

I really want to die, but I want to move the old man out of the palace on Laba day. After all, the old man is very witty, no matter how much he persuades, he will not move like a mountain.

It was still the old man who couldn't hold back his request and reluctantly agreed to leave the palace.

Thinking about it now, Zhu Yunxi felt that he might as well get together with his father, chattering around the stove, and roasting the oranges saved in the palace.

Who knew that the snow in Yingtian City would fall so heavily this year.

Before leaving the city, it was just a few small snowflakes, but not long after leaving the city, it was already covered with heavy snow.

And because the official road leads to the village road, the common people seem to have dug out the unfinished canal in the middle, so everyone can only abandon the carriage and walk in this icy and snowy field.

Zhu Yunxi turned around, and looked apologetically at Tang Queqing, who was hugging Uncle 23 who was noisily following him out of the palace.

The girl's cheeks were already flushed from the cold, and her eyes were red from the cold wind.

On the other hand, Mu girl next to him, with an ignorant appearance, cheered and spun around in the snow, laughing like silver bells.

At the very front, Sun Cheng was leading people to explore the way, paving a way for everyone with deep feet and shallow feet.

Behind them, Sun Gou'er and Yu Tian, ​​the young and the old, led several palace servants, holding boxes of various sizes tied with red ribbons in their arms, and it was extremely difficult to walk.

Zhu Yunxi stood on tiptoe and looked forward, finally showing a smile on his face.

Turning around, enduring the wind and snow and getting into his mouth, Zhu Yunxie shouted: "Grandpa, the front is Laoshan Huangzhuang."

At this time, someone in Laoshan Huangzhuang also saw the people coming on the village road, and hurried out a group of people to rush over.

"Caomin and others see the grandson of the emperor."

The common people rushed over and saw that it was the grandson of the emperor who had been here twice, and hurriedly knelt down to the ground.

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly grabbed the person who was approaching him: "The snow is heavy, don't freeze, go to Zhuangzi to talk."

The common people who came to meet them nodded, looked back at Sun Gou'er and Yu Tian who were carrying things at the end, and hurried forward to take the things over.

a while.

Then everyone went to Zhuangzi.

Entered the house where the inner mansion was in charge at this time, lit the furnace and heated hot water.

Zhu Yunxi and the others slowly recovered from what they said.

The village chief also rushed over with the support of the younger generation.

The old man just glanced at Zhu Yunxi who was in the room with his female relatives, and hurried forward: "Caomin pays respects to the grandson of the emperor."

Zhu Yunxi smiled wryly again and again, so he got up again to support the old man.

"Sit down quickly. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to bring over to Zhuangzi some things to use for the New Year's Eve. I didn't expect such a heavy snowfall when I got out of the city."

The old man glanced at the gift boxes piled up in the corner, with fear on his face: "The grassroots people can't be rewarded so generously by the emperor's grandson, and their lives will be shortened."

"Given by our good grandson, it's nothing, it won't save your life."

Huddled into a ball, he pulled Zhu Kuan Ansheng to sit down, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was holding hot tea in his hand, raised his head and said something indifferently.

Good grandson?

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately brought the villagers who were waiting in the house to kneel down.

"The grass people pay their respects to Your Majesty."

"The grassroots are blind, and they don't know that His Majesty is here. The grassroots deserve to die."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the old man whose face was gradually turning rosy after entering the room, and winked at Sun Gou'er.

Sun Gou'er took Yu Tian and other servants, and went forward to help the people up after a good meal.

Zhu Yuanzhang twitched Zhu Gong who wanted to reach directly above the stove, and then looked at the people in Huangzhuang.

"We're just here to see you guys, to see if you've ever had a shortage of something in your family this New Year's Eve is approaching. If there's a shortage and your life is not going well, we can turn around and punish those officials for you guys. .”

None of the ordinary people present dared to answer these words.

Zhu Yuanzhang took another look, said with a smile on his face, "Sit down quickly, today we are not the Daming Emperor of Laoshizi, we are old men from the neighboring village next door, with our good grandson, and...girls, come here Walk around and ask for a mouthful of hot soup."

When the emperor spoke, it seemed that he wanted to listen.

The village head looked around before he dared to drop half of his buttocks on the stool.

The old man said in a low voice with a nervous face: "The food that the grass-roots ate did not enter His Majesty's mouth."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "We used to compete with the dogs at the entrance of the village for food, how can we not eat the food at home?"

This is also unacceptable.

No one in the Ming Dynasty knew what a difficult life the current emperor of his family had in those days.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the heavy snow outside, and then said: "How is the harvest at Zhuangzi this year?"

The old village head replied immediately: "Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, Zhuangzi has a bumper harvest this year. After paying the internal government's confiscation, every household is full of grain."

Hearing that every family had surplus food, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.

If even the people in Huangzhuang, the land of Gyeonggi, could not have enough food and clothing to keep warm, he really didn't dare to think about what life would be like for the people in other places in the Ming Dynasty.

I thought this was Laoshan Huangzhuang.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Our Zhuangzi is good! They are all good men! Last time we heard that five good men in our Zhuangzi were killed by thieves. Sun personally came to reward the pension, but we always feel sorry for everyone, if there is something not good enough in our family, everyone just say, let's change it."

Let's change!

Since ancient times, which emperor has told his people that if he thinks that the emperor has done something bad, just say it, and the emperor will change it.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered, feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

Most likely, apart from the one in front of him, only the one after that is the people who really care about them.
