I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 160 Grandpa... This country called Ah San is really rich!

In November of the 12th year of Yongle, the Northern Expedition Army finally returned to Jinling.

The imperial court held a grand welcome ceremony.

As the emperor's father, he actually doesn't like this kind of scene.

In the past, when he came back from an expedition, he always went back directly, and such a grand scene was not allowed to greet him.

But this time is different.

Not only was the old man not angry, but he cheerfully waved to the cheering people around him.

With this unprecedented victory, the old man can be said to be in a particularly good mood, and he also wants the common people to see the aura of the soldiers in the Northern Expedition.

And ever since he received the news from the palace that he had a great-grandson, the smile on the old man's face has never stopped.

Along the way, he kept urging the troops to speed up, hoping to return to Jinling as soon as possible to hug his great-grandson.

What made Zhu Zhangui even more speechless was that the old man didn't allow him to come back early.

In the words of the old man, what are you going to do with your murderous aura at my great-grandson, follow me back slowly, and read the scriptures by the way to dispel the murderous aura on your body.

Zhu Zhangui has serious doubts.

The old guy wanted to be the first to hug the little one.

"Welcome to the triumphant return of the emperor!"

Jinling Shili Welcome Pavilion.

Prince Zhu Pangpang, who was also in a very good mood during this time, brought civil and military officials to greet him with big gifts.

But the old man who rode in front on the horse didn't pay attention to Zhu Pangpang and the saluting officials at all.

Laughing, he got off his horse, walked to Zhu Pangpang's side, and picked up the little guy who was hugged by the female officer.

"Hahaha, good good!"

The little guy was requested by Zhu Di. In the words of the old man, he wanted to see this little guy first.

"Yeah!"

The little guy who has been around for almost three months is not afraid of life, he blinks his watery eyes, and looks at the old man in front of him curiously.

After watching for a while, his eyes lit up, as if he found some interesting toy, he grabbed the old man's beard excitedly, and pulled it hard.

The old man who grabbed his beard was not only not angry, but even happier.

"Hahaha, good boy, with such strong hands, he will definitely be a tiger when he grows up."

"Grandpa...let me hug you for a while!"

Standing aside, Zhu Zhangui rubbed his hands anxiously when he saw his son being hugged by the old man.

"Get out, get out, you haven't taken care of children, your hands are so heavy, what if you hurt my little grandson."

The old man hadn't had enough hugs yet, how could he give Zhu Zhangui, pushed Zhu Zhangui aside, hugged the little guy who was pulling his beard, and walked onto the dragon carriage with a big laugh.

The nobles and nobles around, seeing such a harmonious side, all had happy smiles on their faces.

Of course, there are also unhappy ones.

The Han King Zhu Gaoxu who was following behind had kept his face straight ever since the old man picked up the little guy.

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

After the old man got into the car, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and other generals saluted the prince one after another.

"Second brother and third brother, thank you for your hard work!"

Zhu Pangpang, who had a smile on his face, quickly reached out to help Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu, and then bowed to the generals.

"Thank you for your hard work, generals. Let's go home and report your safety, and come to the palace to attend the celebration banquet in the evening."

"As ordered!"

The team set off again, and headed for Jinling City under the cheers of the people on both sides of the road.

"Okay, don't look at it, I'll give you a hug when I get home."

Zhu Pangpang, who was riding on the horse, saw his son stretching his head to look at the car, and silently reached out and patted Zhu Zhangui.

At the same time, he also complained: "Your mother's petting Qi Rui has no end, but the old man's petting is even more so. I'm really worried that this little guy will be spoiled in the future."

Zhu Zhangui promised with a smile.

"Don't worry, if he dares to be disobedient in the future, I will beat him to death."

Hearing this, Zhu Pangpang's eyes froze for a moment.

"You dare, if you touch my grandson with a finger, I will beat you to death!"

Zhu Zhangui: "..."

After the complicated welcoming ceremony, the group finally returned to the palace.

The little guy was taken away by the old man. It might be difficult to hug him back if he doesn't pamper him for a few days.

Zhu Zhangui and his father, Zhu Pangpang, chatted about the situation of the war and went to the East Palace.

The gate of the East Palace.

Crown Princess Zhang, along with her daughter-in-law and all the staff of the East Palace, were already waiting at the door.

"Oh, the old man is really good. I have to let Qi Rui go to greet him. What if he freezes in this cold weather! It's almost an hour, and I don't know if your father asked Nainiang to feed him. Are there any diapers?" I haven't changed it, this child is a clean child, she will cry when she feels a little uncomfortable..."

After her little grandson was taken away for a while, Mrs. Zhang felt that her heart had been taken away by someone, and she kept mumbling.

Ever since her daughter-in-law gave birth, Mrs. Zhang has never let Zhao Linger worry about it.

After the full moon, she took the child with her and took care of her intimately.

In Zhang's words, you are young and inexperienced, and you can't take care of your child well. In addition, your body is weak after giving birth, so you just need to take good care of your body. You don't need to worry about the child, I will take care of it.

The mother, Zhao Linger, wanted to see the child and had to go to the East Palace.

"It's back, it's back!"

The eunuch standing on duty at the intersection saw a group of people approaching from a distance, and quickly reminded him loudly.

Mrs. Zhang, who was muttering, quickly raised her head and looked over.

Zhao Ling'er, Ji Yun and Qingyao's daughters, Hu Shanxiang, are even more hopeless.

Looking at the group of people waiting at the door, Zhu Zhangui quickened his pace and walked quickly in front of everyone.

Looking at Zhu Zhangui who returned safely, Zhao Linger and the girls covered their mouths excitedly and their eyes were slightly red.

Subconsciously, Mrs. Zhang stepped forward to hug her son, but then thought of the rules, and looked at Zhu Zhangui with a straight face.

Zhu Zhangui walked up to his mother and knelt down on one knee.

"Mother, my son is back!"

Looking at his son who was dressed in heroic martial arts all over his body, Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and asked with the loudest voice.

"What's the result of my son's expedition this time!"

Zhu Zhangui clasped his hands together.

"My son went out this time. First, he wiped out more than 3000 enemies, and then led eight thousand warriors to attack thousands of miles, directly attacking the enemy's royal court, beheading the prince, and then leading the soldiers to raid the enemy's camp. No one can beat him!"

Zhang's face showed pride, and continued to ask loudly.

"Fighting on the battlefield, my son has brought shame to the family!"

Zhu Zhangui replied loudly.

"My son always goes forward in every battle, and he never retreats when he encounters a strong enemy. The enemy soldiers he killed were terrified and beheaded countless times. He never dared to forget the teachings of the family ancestors who were loyal to the emperor and patriotism, let alone humiliate the family."

Mrs. Zhang nodded in relief, and bowed with all the female relatives.

"My son has worked hard for the country!"

"For the sake of the country and the people, don't dare to speak bitterness!"

Zhu Zhangui returned the salute respectfully.

"Removal of armor!"

Lao He, who was standing beside him, yelled at the top of his voice when he saw that the princess had finished her questioning.

This is the etiquette for welcoming soldiers on an expedition.

The purpose is to tell the neighbors that my son has returned from fighting for the country.

Asking loudly about military achievements is to let the neighbors know that my family has also made great contributions to the country.

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward with the female relatives behind her, supported Zhu Zhangui, reached out and took off Zhu Zhangui's helmet, and carefully placed it on the tray held by the maid next to her.

Zhao Linger and Ji Yun stretched out their hands and took off Zhu Zhangui's cloak, and folded it carefully.

As the head of the family, Zhu Pangpang stepped forward, took off the knife from Zhu Zhangui's waist, held it up high, and bowed in the direction of the Taimiao.

This means that the children and grandchildren will go to battle, and the weapons will be stained with countless blood, and the ancestors are invited to suppress these evil spirits and protect the well-being of the children and grandchildren.

Zhu Zhangui stretched out his hands, allowing his mother and Zhao Linger and Ji Yun to take off the armor on their bodies.

This step is not for everyone.

Only the grandmother in charge and the wife of the person who went to war are eligible to do this.

When removing the armor, Zhao Linger and Ji Yun's eyes kept looking at Zhu Zhangui, full of tenderness and longing.

Zhu Zhangui also looked at the two daughters with a smile, expressing his longing with his eyes.

After putting on the python robe, the whole ceremony was completely over.

"You bastard, you haven't even written a letter after being away for so long, do you still have my mother in your eyes!"

After helping Zhu Zhangui fasten his belt, Mrs. Zhang patted Zhu Zhangui angrily.

Zhu Zhangui, who was making eye contact with his wife, smiled awkwardly.

"I don't have time, don't I. I have traveled so far for thousands of miles. I just want someone to deliver a letter, but I can't send it back."

"Humph!"

Mrs. Zhang glared at him, and wanted to say a few more words, but noticed the eyes of the two daughters-in-law and the two maids beside her, and knew that this small family had a lot of things to talk about, so she didn't want to talk about it any more.

Instead, he pointed the finger at Zhu Pangpang, who was smiling beside him.

"Qi Rui, I asked you to take care of a child. Why did the child disappear in a blink of an eye?"

Zhu Pangpang spread his hands helplessly.

"Let the old man take it away, I..."

"Oh, what kind of child will the old man take care of? Don't annoy the child and annoy him. Let's go and have a look."

Before Zhu Pangpang finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang dragged him to the palace.

Looking at the couple walking away, Zhu Zhangui smiled.

He said to Zhao Linger and the girls: "Go back and wash up first, I haven't taken a bath for a long time, and I have to attend the celebration banquet tonight!"

Zhao Ling'er, who was looked at by Zhu Zhangui with unnatural eyes, blushed when she heard that Zhu Zhangui was about to take a bath.

That night, the grand celebration ceremony held in the palace lasted until midnight.

the next few days.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Etiquette were busy running around, constantly confirming and counting the military exploits of the soldiers.

On the fifth day of return, the old man held a court meeting and rewarded the generals and soldiers for their meritorious service.

Among them, Jiang Huai, the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion, was named An Dongbo, and at the same time his position was promoted to the commander of the Shenji Battalion.

Zhang Xian, the vanguard general of the Shenji Battalion, was appointed as the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion.

Yu Qian, a scholar who followed the Taisun thousands of miles away and went to war many times, was appointed as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou because of his outstanding military exploits and good strategy.

In addition to Jianghuai, two other generals were knighted.

One of them is the left guard general of the [-] Battalion, and the other is the local guard Baihu.

Both of these two were cavalry officers who followed Zhu Zhangui for thousands of miles to attack. They charged forward in both battles and beheaded countless enemies.

The left guard general of the [-] Battalion, when he charged the Oirat barracks, because he did not keep up with Zhu Zhangui, he chose to lead his men to make trouble in the camp, dragging down many Oirat soldiers, and relieved Zhu Zhangui a lot of pressure.

There were hundreds of local guards. When Zhu Zhangui launched a raid on the herdsman camp, he led people to cruise outside and stopped the Wala people who escaped from the herdsman camp.

Except for these three people, the others are just verbal commendations.

No way, who made them have some cheating nephews.

Before going on the expedition, Zhu Di checked a large number of moths, and after considering the overall situation, the old man gave them a chance to exchange their lives with military merit.

So most of the credit they made this time is to offset the charges of cheating.

So this time they have made such a great contribution, they can only get some gold, silver and verbal awards.

Looking at the three people standing among the crowd and listening to Zhu Di's award, the others felt annoyed.

Damn, if it wasn't for those scumbags in the family, for such a big contribution this time, the title would at least be raised.

The more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and finally the generals made a decision in their hearts, and they must beat up those bastards again when they go back.

After the end of the Northern Expedition, the imperial court once again restored its previous calm.

In addition to welcoming the new year, the next thing is the canonization ceremony of Zhu Zhangui, the grandson.

The eighth day of December in the 12th year of Yongle.

On this day in Laba, Zhu Zhangui, the eldest grandson, was officially canonized as grandson.

His wife, Zhao Ling'er, was conferred the title of concubine grandson.

Ji Yun, the niece of Ji Gang, the Commander of the Jin Yiwei, and Yu Qingyao, the cousin of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, were made grandson concubines.

Hu Shanxiang, who has been serving as the grandson's daughter-in-law, was named a talented person.

"When are you going to leave? Xia Yuanji is crying poor with me every day, and Xie Jin has been urging for money these two days."

In the old man's study room, the old man with his great-grandson in his arms looked at Zhu Zhangui who was crawling on the imperial case, frowning and correcting the memorial, and asked when Zhu Zhangui planned to start planning.

Since Zhu Zhangui officially became the grandson, in order to let the eldest son have more rest, the old man threw the government affairs to Zhu Zhangui again.

As for him, well.

He has to take care of his great-grandson and doesn't have so much time.

After correcting the memorial in his hand, Zhu Zhangui rubbed his wrist and replied.

"Let's start spring next year!"

"Li Hu has already reported to me. After a year of fighting against the Japanese pirates, they have figured out the approximate location of the Japanese pirates. They plan to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates in April next year. I plan to start at that time."

The old man nodded, handed the sleeping little guy in his arms to Nainiang next to him, walked to the hanging map, looked at the location of Wa Island and said: "This place is very evil, Meng Yuan sent soldiers several times , were blown back by the strong wind, so be careful when you do it."

Zhu Zhangui smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, old man, I've been at sea for so many years, and it's not for nothing."

The old man nodded Zhu Zhangui, "Don't be careless."

"By the way, I heard Xia Yuanji say that you told him that there are three crops of grain in the south, and people there just throw some seeds in the ground, so they can't eat all the grain every year, right?"

Ever since Zhu Zhangui talked about money and food with Xia Yuanji, this old guy has been thinking about it every day.

When Zhu Zhangui came back from Shandong, he wanted to ask Zhu Zhangui when he would bring the grain and silver back.

As a result, Zhu Zhangui wanted to supervise the country later, so he had no time to take care of this matter at all, and kept asking him to wait.

As a result, it took nearly a year to wait.

Now that Tobe is so empty that he can run away mice, Natsuhara Kina is in a hurry.

He wanted to ask Zhu Zhangui to bring it up again, but he couldn't see Zhu Zhangui's people at all.

Zhu Zhangui didn't appoint the old man who supervised the country this time, but just helped the old man deal with the memorial, so he didn't need to meet foreign ministers.

In addition to this period of time, Zhu Zhangui ran to the artisan camp whenever he was free, and Xia Yuanji couldn't find anyone.

In the end, he couldn't wait anymore, so he found the old man directly, and wanted the old man to remind Zhu Zhangui that the promise of the debt should be repaid.

"There is indeed a place!"

After the old man mentioned this, Zhu Zhangui remembered that when he went to Shandong for disaster relief last year, he had promised this to Xia Yuanji.

He was so busy during this time that he forgot about it.

Thinking of Xia Yuanji who had a grieving expression on his face, Zhu Zhangui smiled awkwardly.

Walking to the old man's side, Zhu Zhangui rummaged through a lot of maps next to him, found a simple map he drew back then, and hung it in front of the two of them.

Pointing at the position of A Sanguo, Zhu Zhangui said with a serious expression: "Grandpa... this place is a big piece of fat. Not only is it rich in products, but it can't even finish eating. If we take this place, at least we can eat it." Continuing the fortune of the Ming Dynasty for another hundred years."

"More importantly, this place is very easy to fight, and the people here are also very servile. As long as we capture this place and master their beliefs, this place will be our Daming's money bag, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. !"

"As far as I know, they are now divided into two countries, called the Delhi Sultanate and the Tugluk Dynasty."

"Now that they are fighting fiercely, it is a good opportunity for us to make a move. When we help them get rid of the chaos of war, these assholes may treat us like a savior!"

Although the old man didn't know what Ah San meant, he had heard of it in India.

The old man vaguely remembered that not long after he took the throne, a monk who claimed to be from there paid tribute to five golden Buddhas, and he even built a temple for him.

According to the location of this place on the map, it should be in the southwest direction of Wusi Zangdusi.

It's just that Wusi Zangdusi is a plateau, and the Central Plains people can't adapt to the environment there. The Ming Dynasty only occupied it in name, and the actual management and rule were still handled locally.

"If I remember correctly, our Daming's Buddhism should have come from here!"

Looking at the location of India, the old man remembered the source of Buddhism that the old monk told him.

Zhu Zhangui nodded and introduced.

"It is indeed from here, but after our localization, it is very different from them."

"Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty came to them to learn scriptures."

The old man pinched his beard and squinted at India's position.

"It's really rich here, and there's really a lot of food."

Zhu Zhangui nodded affirmatively.

"Grandpa... here is richer than you imagined, and there is more food than you imagined."

Zhu Zhangui's affirmation, the old man naturally believed it.

His grandson has seen the big scene, saying that this place is rich, and that there is a lot of food, there must be nothing wrong.

Looking at the map while pinching his beard, thinking of the starving people in the country and the money-seekers from various places, the old man's eyes became colder and colder, and finally he punched him.

"Since our Da Ming needs it, then he should belong to our Da Ming's territory."
