Chapter 38 Yao Guangxiao: Your Highness, You Defrauded Me!
The orthodox plane of the Ming Dynasty.

After ten days of trekking through Xuanfu and Juyongguan, Zhu Yuanzhang led the army back to Shuntianfu.

I saw that the gate of the city was already crowded with ministers of the court and the central government, and there were countless people watching.

After seeing the army stop, the ministers looked at each other, and they all looked at King Zhu Qiyu.

An old minister pointed to the people around him and said in a low voice:
"His Royal Highness, you can ask His Majesty, withdrawing troops for no reason will make the people criticize."

King Zhu Qiyu gave a wry smile, walked into the army alone, leaned in front of the dragon chariot, and said in a low voice:

"Brother, why did you come back without saying a word? Anyway, I sent a battle report in advance."

"Those ministers don't know whether the emperor's brother won a small victory or a big victory, so let me inquire about it."

Suddenly, a very familiar voice sounded beside Zhu Qiyu:

"shush"

Zhu Qiyu froze for a moment, then turned his head, only to see a dark-faced soldier blinking wildly at him.

For some reason, Zhu Qiyu always felt that this person looked very familiar, and he looked like his elder brother.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the dragon chariot, glanced at Zhu Qiyu, and said:
"You are Zhu Qiyu, the king of Qi? You are better than your ineffective brother."

Seeing that this person is not his eldest brother, Zhu Qiyu's face changed, and just about to speak, the soldier said in a low voice:

"Qi Yu, don't hurry up and pay your respects to Grandpa Taizu, Grandpa Tai."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhu Qiyu said in disbelief:

"Brother?!"

"Why are you so tanned?"

"If you don't sit on a good dragon carriage, you probably walked back, right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen had tears in his eyes, and after pulling Zhu Qiyu to kneel down, he said sincerely:

"Qi Yu, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the test of Grandpa Taizu, and it is designed to teach me how to be a good emperor."

"I do it voluntarily."

While talking, he remembered that he had been treated like a soldier in the past ten days, and walked from Datong to Shuntian Mansion step by step.

There were a lot of blood blisters on the soles of the feet. In the end, every step I took was like walking through a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire.

Whenever he wanted to stop, his great-grandfather would beat him with a stick, tearing his skin apart, and crying too much.

If possible, Zhu Qizhen sincerely hopes that all this is a dream.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't associate the dark-faced, dim-eyed person in front of him with the high-spirited elder brother before the expedition.

Yan Wang Zhu Di came over leading a war horse and said:

"Father"

Zhu Yuanzhang got on his horse and said:

"Fourth, come with us to see these "loyal" ministers."

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a military order, 20 troops were stationed outside the city, and [-] cavalry entered the city.

All the ministers at the gate of the city were "invited" into the palace by the British Duke Zhang Fu and others before they knew what happened.

Zhu Qiyu followed behind Zhu Qizhen in confusion, and asked in a low voice:

"Brother, what happened?"

"Is that really Grandpa Taizu? Grandpa?"

Zhu Qiyu is the second son of the first emperor and Zhu Qizhen's half-brother. The two grew up together since they were young, and they have less scruples when talking.

After Zhu Qizhen walked into Shuntian Mansion, he said in a low voice:

"Qi Yu, after I leave, you have to take care of yourself, and don't make grandpa angry."

After a while, I will go back to the Hongwu period with my grandfather Taizu and go to Dabentang.

This time, I don't know if there is a chance to come back.

Zhu Qiyu blinked, feeling that there was something in his brother's words, but he saw Zhu Qizhen's tanned face and those blue eye sockets.

After pondering for a few seconds, Zhu Qiyu quickly ran back to Prince Tan's mansion to tease his son who is not yet one year old.

……

Royal Palace.

Inside the hall.

When the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty learned that Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong had appeared, they led [-] cavalry to Zhengtong Dynasty.

Or fear, or panic.

But no matter what, when Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Qizhen into the main hall and sat on the dragon chair, all the ministers kowtowed and saluted.

Although they had never met the Emperor Taizu, they still knew about the four major cases of Hongwu, where countless people were killed.

Who dares to die?

Who dares to stop it?
Seeing Zhu Qizhen's horrible appearance next to him made all the ministers flustered.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and said lightly:
"British Duke Zhang Fu has already told you, right? We are here this time because we can't bear the sight of future generations harming Daming."

"Fourth, bring those "loyal ministers" here."

In the next second, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, walked into the hall with his soldiers pressing down dozens of ministers.

Moreover, a lot of evidence of collusion with the Wala people was also produced.

I saw that the leader was Wang Zhen, who returned power to the court not long ago, and the veteran of the four dynasties, Guo Jing, the imperial supervisor, and Li Rang, the commander of Datong...

For a time, the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and the ministers advised to execute these rebels.

Among them, the British Duke Zhang Fu and the generals who followed Zhu Qizhen's imperial conquest were the most angry.

They were almost about to be trapped to death by these wala nephews!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw his fourth son working so hard, and said:
"Fourth, after we bring Qi Zhen back to the Hongwu period, you will be in charge of the country during the Zhengtong dynasty."

"These traitors, you can figure it out."

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Qizhen out of the hall.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's departure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the slightly immature King of Yan Zhu Di, they couldn't help showing joy.

Zhu Di looked around, clapped his hands, and a monk in black walked into the hall.

Immediately, Zhu Di said coldly:
"British Lord, punish these rebels from the Nine Clans!"

"In addition, this king has decided to restart the Great Proclamation and clean up the administration of officials. Yao Guangxiao, you will be responsible for this matter."

……

Following the issuance of an imperial decree, seeing Yan Wang Zhu Di preparing to turn the Zhengtong Dynasty into the second Hongwu Dynasty, everyone present collapsed.

Especially those corrupt officials who have embezzled more than 60 taels of silver are even ashamed.

……

After the court was over, Yao Guangxiao watched those ministers leave in dismay, and persuaded:

"Your Highness, don't be too impatient."

Yan Wang Zhu Di said nonchalantly:

"What do you think this king asked you to help this king on purpose? This king just gives orders, and you will be responsible for other things."

"If this king can't govern well and unify the dynasty, this king will put you in prison first before your father punishes this king."

"You are a great hero who helped this king Feng Tianjing. How can such a trivial matter stop you?"

For a while, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help being silent.

He didn't even know that he would be so powerful in the future. Does this vigorous and resolute King Yan really have the appearance of an emperor?

……

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in the palace and saw that it was exactly the same as Yingtianfu's palace, so he asked:

"We heard that those ministers and ministers are all called Wang Zhenweng's father?"

"You still call him Mr.? Since you respect Wang Zhen so much, why don't you just give him the throne."

Zhu Qizhen followed Zhu Yuanzhang cautiously, and said submissively:
"Grandfather Taizu taught me that I shouldn't favor eunuchs, let alone act recklessly."

After these ten days of torture, Zhu Qizhen understood a truth, Grandpa Taizu was always right.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Sun hurried over from a distance, saw Zhu Qizhen for the first time, and said distressedly:

"Your Majesty, why did you become like this when you went out?"

"Aren't you going to disarm His Majesty soon?"

While speaking, Empress Dowager Sun stretched out her hand tremblingly, caressing Zhu Qizhen's tanned face.

Zhu Qizhen quickly waved his hand to make the maids retreat, and said:

"Mother, I'm fine."

"This is Grandpa Taizu."
