Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 622 Brother and Sister Reunion
"See Your Highness, where have you been this time, Your Highness, the ministers miss you very much..."

Hearing the civil and military officials say hello in unison and tears in their eyes.

Zhu Cihong couldn't help tears in his eyes at this time, he could see that the excitement of these important officials in the court came from the heart.

"My lords, hurry up and forgive me, you are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong is ashamed..."

Zhu Cihong hurried forward to help Meng Zhaoxiang and others, but these ministers kowtowed in the direction of Nanyang again:

"Your Majesty, hurry up and see who's back, God, you've finally opened your eyes, my Great Ming Sage has a queen..."

After these ministers learned that the person in front of them was really Zhu Cihong, the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, they fell into madness almost instantly.

Their loyalty to Daming is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and it is even more unimaginable for those second ministers who eat inside and outside.

In history, after the capital city was broken and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain, these ministers almost all chose to commit suicide with their families to follow Emperor Chongzhen.

In reality, Zhu Youjian showed great power, killed bandits and captives, land reformed, introduced sweet potatoes, etc., collected commercial taxes, cracked down on smuggling, and established the Daming Customs, which they have long admired.

Now the big tomorrow is changing with each passing day, and has entered the road of rapid development.

The great changes in the Ming Dynasty were the result of the emperor's tireless efforts leading his ministers to work hard.

The officials are all proud of having such a holy king, but in private they are very worried about the emperor.

The emperor has already entered middle age, he has just chosen a few concubines who are still not pregnant with dragon species, and there is no news of the disappearance of the three princes.

Seeing that Shengjun had no heirs, they were all worried that if something happened to the emperor, Daming would have no successor.

Daming finally entered the prosperous age, and it is very likely that it will repeat the same mistakes again, falling into chaos and decline.

Now that the prince Zhu Cihong has been missing for almost two years and suddenly reappeared, how could they not be excited.

After a while of pleasantries, the large troops began to set off for the capital.

The large army had just advanced about five miles, and suddenly saw dust flying not far ahead, and another group of troops arrived.

In front is the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Baihu, who leads the way, and behind them is a pair of female soldiers, about a dozen of them.

There are several eunuchs behind the female soldiers, one of them is older and has white hair.

Beside the old eunuch, a white horse sat upright with a talented person in front.

Sun Chuanting walked in front of the team. When he saw the person coming, he immediately waved his hand to stop the advance.

"Stop advancing, Her Royal Highness is coming!"

Yes, the three princesses are here, and the female soldiers in front are Princess Kunxing, Princess Jianwen, and Princess Ziwei.

The old eunuch behind was none other than Daming's most loyal eunuch Wang Cheng'en.

In history, before the death of Emperor Chongzhen, he was the only eunuch who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, he was also the eunuch who accompanied Chongzhen to hang himself.

Although Wang Chengen's ability is not as good as Wei Zhongxian's, or even Cao Huachun's.

However, no eunuch can compare his loyalty to Daming and Emperor Chongzhen.

And the young man who was following Wang Chengen was none other than Xia Wanchun, a child prodigy of the Ming Dynasty who had just returned from Shanxi with the princess.

Seeing the princess dismount, Sun Chuanting and other officials also hurriedly dismounted from the horse, and got off the sedan chair.

No matter how high their current official positions are, they still have to treat each other with courtesy in front of Princess Kunxing.

All civil and military officials bowed slightly:
"See Her Royal Highness!"

Princess Kunxing smiled and waved her hands:

"My lords are free."

When Princess Kunxing spoke, her eyes were already looking for her father in the team.

The royal father had never been away for so long, and the three princesses missed him very much.

Upon hearing the news of the triumphant return of the Ming Expeditionary Force, they immediately went out of the city to greet them.

Before Sun Chuanting could speak, Zhu Cihong quickly walked out of the crowd, almost trotting all the way to Princess Kunxing.

"Princess, please stay safe!"

"Princess?"

With a very familiar voice, Kun Xing looked up at the young general in front of him.

Although that familiar face is much darker now, it is dressed as a general again.

But Princess Kunxing, who grew up together since she was a child, recognized the emperor's brother and prince Zhu Cihong immediately.

She stared at those beautiful big eyes in disbelief, and she never took her eyes off Zhu Cihong's face for a moment.

Happiness came so suddenly, Kun Xing stood there in a daze for a moment, she was trembling all over and murmured non-stop, tears were already rushing out of her eyes.

Zhu Cihong knew that her sister was too excited and couldn't react for a while.

Reaching out for a pure white handkerchief, Zhu Cihong gently helped Zhu Weixi wipe away the tears from her pretty face.

"Princess, brother is back!"

"Big brother..."

Princess Kunxing finally came to her senses. Regardless of her status as a princess and the gaze of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, she threw herself into Zhu Cihong's arms and sobbed nonstop.

"Brother Huang... Where have you been? You haven't been seen for more than a year and have no information. Do you know how much your father is worried about you? Do you know how much your sister misses you... Woooo..."

Zhu Cihong patted Kunxing's head lightly, and his eyes were also covered with mist.

"Isn't the imperial brother back now? Imperial sister, don't be sad, the elder brother will never leave you easily again..."

The capital almost fell, his mother, stepmother and younger sister were no longer alive, and Kunxing had no real relatives besides his father.

Now suddenly seeing the big brother who is thinking day and night, how can she not be excited, it took a long time to stop crying and raise her pretty face:

"Brother Huang, where is my father? Why didn't he come back?"

"Don't worry, Royal Sister, Father is fine now. It is estimated that in ten days and a half months, Father will definitely return in triumph."

"Well, Brother Huang, let's meet the other two younger sisters. They are Jianwen and Ziwei, the father's adopted daughters."

Princess Kunxing wiped away her tears with her eldest brother's hand, and then remembered Princess Jianwen and Princess Ziwei, and hurriedly introduced them to Zhu Cihong.

Jianwen and Ziwei also understood what was going on at this time. It turned out that the elder brother Zhu Cihong had returned, and they hurried forward to say hello:
"See brother!"

Zhu Cihong looked at the two younger sisters who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, and hurriedly waved his hands:

"The imperial sister is free of charge. On the days when the eldest brother is away, thank you two imperial sisters for accompanying Wei Xi."

After the old king arrived, he found the prince present, and he couldn't help but sighed:
"You damn god, finally opened your eyes, thank you!
Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is back, I am really happy for you..."

He wanted to go forward to greet Zhu Cihong, but seeing that Zhu Cihong and the princess had just met, he didn't go there for the time being.

It wasn't until the three princesses met the prince one by one that the old king hurried to Zhu Cihong and fell to his knees:
"Wang Chengen sees His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness has suffered..."

"The king's companion is no more polite than that, get flat soon!"

Lao Wang used to be the favorite minister of Emperor Chongzhen, and also the eunuch who was in charge of the official seal.

Although they were all the emperor's retainers, he didn't need to salute at all when he saw Zhu Cihong, he just bowed and bowed his hands.

But after seeing Zhu Cihong, Lao Wang was really happy and relieved, and he couldn't help but kowtow to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong hurriedly stepped forward to help Lao Wang up. He knew that the old eunuch in front of him had great power, but he never used his power to suppress others. He was a good eunuch.

"Xia Wanchun sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After Lao Wang, Xia Wanchun came to Zhu Cihong and bowed to salute.

Although Zhu Cihong was not in the capital, he had known Xia Wanchun's name for a long time, a prodigy of the Ming Dynasty.

He hurriedly supported Ji Shi, a young man of Ming Dynasty who was about the same age as him:

"Master Xia, free yourself from courtesy"
