The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 525 Zhu Ying's Generosity
Chen Muyue suspected that she had heard it wrong.

His Royal Highness Taisun actually agreed to go back to Annan to visit his relatives?
is this real?
Is this really possible?

After being dazed for a long while, Chen Muyue tremblingly asked Zhu Ying: "Your Highness, you... just said, let me go back to Annan to visit my relatives?"

Zhu Ying smiled, looked at the wide-eyed Chen Muyue and said, "Didn't you miss Annan just now? Why, I told you to go back and have a look, don't you want to go back?"

Chen Muyue waved her hand immediately, and said hastily, "No, no, I just didn't expect it to happen"

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "It's just to go back and have a look. It's not a big deal. This palace is not a cage to imprison you."

"If Annan takes the sea route, it's not too far away. When the time comes, he will go straight down with the sea boat and arrive directly. It will be extremely convenient and quick."

"It's only been more than two months back and forth, so I don't have to think about it day and night here."

"You have been here in the capital for more than a year, so you should go back and have a look."

"At that time, I will send [-] soldiers to accompany you to protect your safety."

Zhu Ying was not joking with Chen Muyue, but really wanted him to go to Annam.

The current situation in Annan, including the surrounding Champa, is very unclear.

Reckless use of troops will undoubtedly cause great chaos.

But when Chen Muyue went back to Annan to visit his relatives, and then sent [-] soldiers to go with him, the concept was completely different.

Firstly, it can be enough to deter some disobedient forces in Annan, and secondly, when arriving by sea, it should first go to Champa, and then arrive at Annan through the Champa Kingdom.

So in terms of arrangements, there is a saying that the Ming soldiers stationed at the border in Annan.

There is nothing to worry about Chen Muyue's safety.

These ten thousand soldiers were not ordinary soldiers. At least five thousand of them were armored soldiers, accompanied by two thousand cavalry.

And at least [-] arms will carry the latest style of arquebus.

As long as it is not siege of the city, it can be said that Champa is invincible in the field.

Sea ships are also accompanied by warships, directly dispatching the Daming navy to escort them back and forth.

For a small country in Nanyang, with this level of military strength, it is not impossible for a bad one to directly destroy the country, which is enough to give a strong deterrent.

It seems that Chen Muyue just returned to Annan to visit relatives. It seems that such an arrangement is a bit exaggerated. In fact, it is laying the groundwork for the upcoming Maritime Silk Road.

Let many small countries in Nanyang realize how powerful the current Ming Dynasty is.

To put it simply, it is a show of force and a show of our country's prestige.

Of course, Chen Muyue didn't think of these deep-seated thoughts, but she was completely immersed in the joy of being able to go home, her affectionate appearance seemed to swallow Zhu Ying alive at this moment.

After saying this, Chen Muyue was completely moved by Zhu Ying.

If it was said that Chen Muyue came to Daming because of An Nan and had no other choice, but now she is still wholeheartedly for Zhu Ying.

If it is not broad daylight but night now, I am afraid that he will directly jump on Zhu Ying.

After some excited words, Zhu Ying asked Chen Muyue to go back and prepare. After a few days, the arrangements were made and Qin Tianjian was asked to choose an auspicious day for departure.

After Chen Muyue left, Guo Zhong, who had been staying quietly next to him, finally couldn't help but said: "Master, Concubine Yue returned home to visit her relatives before she was pregnant. I'm afraid it's a bit out of courtesy."

There are many rules in the palace. Generally speaking, even a concubine is not allowed to leave the palace, let alone return to her mother's house, unless it is on a specific festival.

What's more, concubines from other small countries like Chen Muyue basically have no possibility of going back in this life.

Besides, although the current Chen Muyue is married, she has not yet given birth to a son and a half for Zhu Ying.

It's not that Zhu Ying couldn't get Chen Muyue pregnant, but she paid attention to this aspect.

This is also to protect the status of Ye Yueqing's concubine, and it is also for the stability of Daming.

If the side concubine gave birth to a boy first, it would be easy to be disturbed by someone with a heart.

According to the rules in the palace, even if Chen Muyue could visit relatives, she had to have a child.

It's just that the situation is different now, so after much thought, Zhu Ying felt that letting Chen Muyue go back to visit her relatives was the best arrangement for the current situation.

After hearing Guo Zhong's question at the moment, he asked: "It's not suitable for the etiquette. Who set this ceremony? Is it grandpa?"

It was just one sentence, and Guo Zhong immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "The old slave's mouth is cheap, the old slave's mouth is cheap."

As he spoke, he smacked his mouth.

When His Highness Taisun mentioned His Majesty, Guo Zhong knew that he should not have said this.

Once this causes any conflict between His Royal Highness and His Majesty, it will be his fault.

Zhu Ying waved her hand and said, "No need to do that, there will be some things in the future that you shouldn't ask, so don't ask."

It doesn't mean to punish Guo Zhong, but the key here is that you can't tell others, you just need to know it well.

Guo Zhong immediately didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Then Zhu Ying thought for a while and ordered:

"About Concubine Yue's visiting relatives, you go to the Mansion Newspaper Office and write this as a headline on the mansion newspaper. It will be the latest issue, and it will be published as soon as possible."

"Be sure to spread this news to Nanyang within half a month."

"By the way, I also sent an order to the navy of the capital to inform the Di Baodi of the sailing route to Champa. The first overseas stop of Daming must be Champa."

Hearing this, Guo Zhong didn't understand that he was talking too much, and His Royal Highness obviously had more profound arrangements here.

Immediately rushed to pass the order.

Chen Muyue, who went back, naturally didn't spread the news of her going back to Annan with a big mouth, but just told the maid Xiaoqing who came with her.

After Xiaoqing heard the news, she was naturally extremely happy and excited.

But also be patient with this temper.

The rules in the palace are nothing to Zhu Ying, she can do whatever she wants.

For others, it is naturally very strict.

If this causes others to be jealous and unable to go back, then it will be cool.

But it was only on the third day, after the news was published in the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper, not to mention the palace, even the whole capital knew about it.

Every time the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper is published, every concubine in the palace, or eunuchs and mothers in charge, will naturally get a copy.

There are not many entertainment activities these days. Reading the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper can be said to be a very common pastime in the capital and Daming, and even around Daming.

Zhu Ying's original intention was naturally to have her own arrangements and ideas.

But unexpectedly, such a move made everyone think that Zhu Ying loved Concubine Yue very much.

Eight large ships, [-] sailors, and [-] elite soldiers escorted Concubine Yue back to Annan to visit her relatives. Only His Royal Highness the Grandson could do such a big job.

Originally, Zhu Ying's reputation was great, and she was also extremely legendary, which also caused everyone to be very curious about Zhu Ying, the great grandson.

Any disturbance related to Zhu Ying, as long as it is published in the mansion newspaper, it will definitely sell out all the mansion newspapers in the capital.

This movement, if it wasn't for Da Ming, Zhu Ying would have been given the name of a lover.

Among them, many novelists burst out with inspiration, and directly came a wave of behind-the-scenes stories.

It’s just that His Royal Highness is involved. This kind of writing is strictly prohibited, so you can only write and read secretly. If you dare to print it, you will be taken down and punished for a crime of disrespect.

"Concubine Yue is really blessed to be loved by His Royal Highness the Grandson."

"Isn't it? Who can have such a favor? It's not about going back. That's Annan. For Concubine Yue, His Royal Highness dispatched [-] sailors, accompanied by [-] elites. There are many, but they are all drawn from the Beijing barracks."

"Being able to be the concubine of His Royal Highness, this concubine Yue, is truly enviable."

For a while, there were endless discussions about Concubine Yue and Zhu Ying in the harem, obviously showing signs of getting worse.

In the end, it was Concubine Ning who came forward to warn her before restraining herself.

But this was all published in the Jingshi Mansion newspaper, and there was no real intention to prohibit it.

Regarding the transfer of troops, Zhu Ying had already told the old man about the situation that day, and of course he got Zhu Yuanzhang's consent.

Although Zhu Ying can already be said to have control of the military power, and even Taisun Lingzhi is almost as good as the imperial edict to a certain extent, but there are many rules and regulations that Zhu Ying should have here.

As long as it involves military power, it will be explained to the old man in advance to obtain consent.

This is not to say to be afraid of anything, but to respect Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, even if Zhu Ying ordered without authorization, Zhu Yuanzhang would not say anything, let alone have any bad thoughts.

Firstly, the grandpa and grandson are together almost every day, with Qianqing Palace in front and Kunning Palace in the back.

Among other things, if we have breakfast and morning together every day, we will definitely be together.

With such a close relationship, who would report to His Majesty on His Highness the Grandson?Isn't that courting death?

Besides, no one in this palace knows that His Highness the Grandson is His Majesty's darling and treasure.

Speaking of which, His Majesty is approaching the age of [-], while His Highness Taisun is only worthy of the crown. The next few decades of Ming Dynasty will be under the shadow of His Highness Taisun.

If anyone is held hostage by His Highness the Grandson, then for the rest of his life, he will not have a good life, and he may not even have a good life.

It is also based on this factor that the current Zhu Ying is more and more unrestrained.

It is easier and even more powerful than being emperor yourself.

Because people are always afraid of the unknown.

For things that haven't come yet, I am even more afraid, but when I really experience it, I don't worry so much.

It is really not too much to describe Zhu Ying as doing whatever he wants.

Annan.

When Zhu Ying's letter was delivered to the eldest disciple Liu Sheng, this old man, who was already seventy years old, was so excited that his beard was about to stand up.

After Li Xiucai heard the news, he put down everything he was doing and rushed towards Liu Sheng's mansion.

"How do you say, did His Highness mention me in the letter?"

Li Xiucai's tone was full of expectation and desire.

After coming to Annan, Li Xiucai soon got the official position he wanted as he wished.

Naturally, Zhu Ying had already approved this official position, but Liu Sheng didn't show it to him until he got to the place.

How can I say that Li Xiucai is also a scholar, and after arriving in Annan, he took on the responsibility of enlightenment.

In this regard, Li Xiucai was already a veteran when he was in the city of heroes in the Western Regions. Of course, the rules here are extremely familiar.

And in Annan, there is even Zhao Xiucai, a military adviser sent by Zhu Ying.

At the beginning, it was Zhao Xiucai who asked Annan's side, the leader of the troops belonging to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Fei, Li Laosi, and others to intercept Annan's princess Chen Muyue, including pretending to be Annan's envoy, and even wanting the owner to pretend to be the prince. .

Zhao Xiucai is truly ruthless and has no scruples beyond his strategic talents.

Since Liu Sheng brought [-] elite soldiers to Annan, Zhao Xiucai, Zhao Fei, and Li Laosi had been lurking under Annan's command in the early years, and they really ushered in wealth and glory.

It can also be standing on the bright side.

Of course, Zhu Ying would not say that he treated these meritorious ministers badly. When Liu Sheng arrived, he brought Zhu Ying's orders and appointments. Almost everyone was rewarded generously, as well as official appointments.

Liu Sheng looked at the familiar handwriting, and he clearly recognized that these handwritings were written by His Royal Highness Taisun himself.

Especially the fake characters and simple characters in it are the unique habits of His Royal Highness Taisun.

Even Li Xiucai had already come to him, Liu Sheng stared blankly at the handwriting on it, but didn't react, and didn't even notice Li Xiucai's arrival.

When Li Xiucai was about to speak and pulled Liu Sheng out of the immersion, seeing Liu Sheng's expression, his mouth froze suddenly.

As Li Xiucai who used to live together in Qunying City, and then traveled together to escort high-yield crops to the capital, how could he not know that Liu Sheng actually regarded Zhu Ying as his grandson in his heart.

He knew very clearly that Liu Sheng came to Annan not for the name of King Annan, but for Zhu Ying to bring Annan into the territory of Ming Dynasty.

In terms of title, Liu Sheng is a disciple of Zhu Yingda, and it is a master-student relationship.

It's just that in Liu Sheng's heart, in the long-term company, he still regards Zhu Ying as his relative and grandson.

Such a strange conflicting feeling.

But it has always existed in Liu Sheng's heart. Without experiencing these things, it is difficult to understand Liu Sheng's mentality.

And Li Xiucai has been with Liu Sheng for so long, so he is naturally aware of it.

Li Xiucai also has some experience in observing words and demeanor, and trying to figure out his mind, otherwise he would not be able to survive in the Western Regions where fish and dragons are mixed.

It took a long time for Liu Sheng to recover from the handwriting.

In that stroke, Liu Sheng seemed to see Zhu Ying telling him personally.

That's why I'm so immersed.

At the beginning, Liu Sheng didn't realize that there was another person beside him, and the expression on his face was a little excited, joyful, lonely and longing.

He knew that Zhu Ying lived a good life in Daming, where his grandfather took great care of him.

Compared to Emperor Ming, how humble Liu Sheng was.

Some thoughts can only exist in the bottom of my heart.
