Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 461 Welcome!

When Yu Tongyuan stood in front of Zhu Di, he was stunned and forgot what he said for a moment.

A pair of eyes stared at Zhu Di, just looking at him.

The familiar long hair is gone.

The scalp can even be seen through the dense and short hair clumps, and the scalp under the hair clumps.

New style separates.

A black round-neck suit, with the top twist button tightly fastened.

After not seeing each other for several years, the still familiar face, although still without a beard, was completely devoid of the childishness that was left when he left the Ming Dynasty.

In his fortitude, there is a majesty that is not angry and self-respecting.

The impression given by the superior person is no less than that of His Majesty.

Perhaps, because of returning to the Central Plains, this person is already trying to restrain himself as much as possible.

Princess Yan was standing to the side in a new style of women's clothing, followed by a group of children. It seemed that many of them were married and had partners around them.

The boys' attire is similar to that of King Yan, and the women's attire is similar to that of the princess.

Although this new style of clothing seemed a bit strange in his eyes.

But it cannot be denied that this new style of clothing gives people an indescribable beauty that is simple and capable.

And this group of people has that kind of vitality.

It is even more shocking.

He didn't dare to predict anything else, but he was certain that the clothes and the spirit of the group of people headed by King Yan were enough to bring strong impact and shock to the Ming Dynasty, from the elites to the common people. !

This is my thoughts.

Only then did Yu Tongyuan suddenly realize that he was being rude. Fortunately, he had already thought about how to greet King Yan with some etiquette, and then...

Snapped!

He beat his chest and said loudly: "Yu Tongyuan, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Navy, and the generals of the navy, welcome the prince and princess back to the Central Plains!"

The smile on Zhu Di's lips flashed away.

He was very satisfied with the way Yu Jing's father greeted him.

Go back to the Central Plains, not to the North.

This means that Yu Tongyuan does not regard him as a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Someone who has this kind of clear understanding.

In fact, there are not many in Daming.

Many people who yelled at him to kill him actually only regarded him as a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Treat him with various behaviors that are not in line with the Central Plains.

He even regarded him as a betrayal!

Rebel!

The psychology of these people is very awkward.

On the one hand, they want to attribute him to a Ming minister so that they can put pressure and various accusations on him as a foreign minister.

On the one hand, this group of people were still against him. They were the ones who wanted him to leave Daming as soon as possible.

Zhu Di raised his hand in return and said with a smile: "Thank you, Commander Yu, and all the generals for welcoming us."

Yu Tongyuan and the navy generals were slightly stunned when they saw Zhu Di raising his hand in return.

After Yu Tongyuan was stunned for a short time, he understood.

You know, this must be the military salute of the new army.

Their navy had many opportunities to contact the merchants of Yan Fan, and they also knew a lot about some things in Yan Fan's army.

I know that Yanfan changed the etiquette in the army because of the deployment of female soldiers in the rescue team.

Of course, these novel news should only be discussed within the navy, and they would not dare to spread it everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Now, within the Ming Dynasty, from the court to the local elites, there was strong resistance to all the novelties of the Yan Fan.

Even so, just because the navy was not hostile to Yan Fan, it was repeatedly criticized by some people in the court over the years.

After Zhu Di returned the gift and put down his hands cleanly, Yu Tongyuan made a gesture of invitation, "Your Majesty, the Navy has prepared a room for the Prince to stay. When the order comes from the court to allow the Prince's fleet to sail into the inland river, finally I will personally escort the prince to Jinling."

"Okay." Zhu Di smiled and nodded unequivocally, "Everything will be subject to Yu Tongzong's arrangements."

Zhu Di turned to the Marine Corps battalion commander and ordered: "This is the Marine Corps camp. There is no danger. Just send a shed soldier to follow. The remaining soldiers will go back to the ship to rest."

"Your Majesty."

Without waiting for the battalion commander to give orders, Yu Tongyuan couldn't wait to say: "I have arranged a barracks for the prince's navy officers, which is next to the navy barracks. The general wants the navy to communicate with the prince's navy. I don't know..."

Zhu Di looked at Yu Tongyuan with a smile.

He trusted Yu Tongyuan.

First of all, Yu Tongyuan and Yu Jing have a father-son relationship.

Secondly, in recent years, members of the Military Intelligence Department on Yanfan's maritime merchant ships have often reported to him that the Ming Navy was very fond of the Yanfan navy.

Yu Tongyuan had such a vision and wanted the Ming Navy to communicate with the Yan Navy, and he supported it.

In fact, he has never been stingy.

His ideal, and even more hope, is that the entire Central Plains and the entire China can make great progress.

If the territory of the Ming Dynasty were filled with people like Yu Tongyuan, Fang Xiaoru, and Lan Yu, he could provide whatever technology the Ming Dynasty wanted.

"Okay!" Zhu Di nodded with a smile, turned around and ordered the commander: "Go and notify the soldiers on the warship."

The soldiers will also enter the camp.

Zhu Di has to keep an eye on it.

Get the soldiers settled first.

Groups of soldiers wearing white navy uniforms disembarked from the ship. After forming an array at the dock, they followed the soldiers sent by Yu Tongyuan and left one by one.

Zhu Di saw Yu Tongyuan and the navy officers all staring at the navy officers' uniforms curiously.

Waved.

A Marine soldier approached with a blunderbuss on his back.

Zhu Di lifted up the soldier's sleeves, pinched the thickened sleeve cuffs and introduced: "This is a new fabric developed by our Yan Fan. It is made of cotton and linen..."

The inspiration for this blend.

Speaking of which, it comes from Fujian, a blend of cotton and low-quality silk.

"We call this kind of cloth canvas. The reason for this name is that this kind of cloth was originally used to make sails for warships. Because of the addition of hemp, it is more durable and corrosion-resistant than the original cotton cloth. , and later, it was better to switch to cotton and silk blended fabrics.”

"After the common people learned this cotton and linen blended textile technology, in order to save money, they began to adjust the proportion of cotton and linen in this fabric..."

The hemp content is too high.

The clothes made will be very uncomfortable to wear.

"After repeated adjustments voluntarily by the people, an optimal ratio was finally found. The canvas blended with cotton 6 and linen 4 is not only wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, but also has good toughness, good air permeability, and hygroscopicity. Well, it’s not like our previous labor cloths, which tend to shrink easily after being washed too many times, and this kind of canvas is not prone to wrinkles.”

"The clothes we make and wear on our bodies are of good shape. The clothes worn by soldiers and us now are all made of canvas."

Canvas is a blended fabric.

It has replaced satin and cotton and became the most popular fabric in Yanfan territory.

Especially women like Miaoyun like it the most.

Clothes made of canvas are stiff and the women's clothes are very beautiful.

"The reason why navy uniforms are white is because, according to the reaction of soldiers, they often go to sea and wear white clothes, which makes them more refreshing."

In Luzon, the temperature is high almost twelve months a year.

And the navy has to conduct regular activities and training on the unobstructed sea.

Wear white clothes, which have poor heat absorption.

People in this era may not understand the heat-absorbing properties of color.

But there is already practical experience in this area.

A group of naval generals led by Yu Tongyuan were filled with emotion when they heard this.

Zhu Di pointed to the soldier's military cap.

The soldier ably took off his military cap and handed it to Zhu Di with both hands.

After taking it, Zhu Di introduced: "This kind of military hat with a large brim is actually for sun protection. Inside the big brim, there is a support plate made of thin steel sheets, and the outside is covered with a layer of canvas."

Yu Tongyuan stretched out his hand to touch.

'Can steel be used like this? '

Yu Tongyuan couldn't help but sigh.

As for canvas, such a novel fabric, there is no reason for it to be sold back to the Central Plains.

He probably guessed it too.

King Yan must be worried that he would make too much money from Ming Dynasty and be hated even more.

Even so, in recent years, voices from the local government to the court to further suppress Yan Fan's trade have also emerged one after another.

But the rest of these, the commercial goods that Yan Fan made profits from, were really difficult for the court to suppress.

Just like the cheap Yan Fan rice noodles.

Once suppressed, the people in countless cities in the Ming Dynasty would have trouble even eating.

Even the prince doesn't dare to make this determination!

Suppressing cheap Yanfan rice would definitely destroy the Great Wall for Ming Dynasty!

In fact, the imperial court followed the establishment of rural villages and the popularization of corn cultivation.

The food shortage problem has basically been solved.

At first, he was also surprised. Logically speaking, the supply of food has increased in recent years, but why has the price of food increased?

It wasn't until he communicated with a businessman from Yan Fan that he found out the reason.

First of all, the imperial court has had more money over the years. It is said that the Yan Fan has an economic research institution affiliated with the Ministry of Finance, which calls this situation of too much money inflation.

Secondly, on the basis of inflation, although local rural communities all build their own granaries.

But in recent years, Ming Dynasty has become more and more regionally protected in provincial, prefecture and county areas.

As a result, commodities produced by the people, such as grain, have experienced stagflation in their circulation.

In addition, merchants are hoarding.

This is why there is a strange problem: there is obviously no shortage of food, but food prices have skyrocketed. It is becoming increasingly difficult for people in the city to eat, but farmers' income has not increased.

After hearing what the Yanfan businessman told him, all that was left was bitterness in his mouth.

Look, Ming Dynasty itself didn’t even know about Ming Dynasty’s economic problems.

But Yan Fan studied it clearly!

Fortunately, when Yan Fan studied these, he only regarded the current economic situation of the Ming Dynasty as a research case.

Just imagine.

If Yan Fan really dealt with Ming Dynasty.

No need to use weapons.

As long as the annual supply of large quantities of oatmeal is cut off, the Ming Dynasty will be filled with complaints.

"Your Majesty, is this Yan Fan's new fire gun?"

"Well." Zhu Di looked in the direction of Yu Tongyuan's finger, and with a signal, he took the gun handed by the soldier, "This gun is what we call a flintlock gun. In terms of the ignition method and the fixed gunpowder, Some improvements have been made.”

Zhu Di took the paper shell ammunition handed over by the soldiers.

Bite open the paper shell with your teeth, open the small end, open the lid on the fire pool, and pour it into the fire pool.

Then quickly stuff the remaining paper shell containing the projectiles and gunpowder into the barrel from the front section, pull out the purge bar, hold the projectiles against it, and stuff it into the deepest part of the barrel.

Raise the gun and hold the trigger.

boom!

The crisp sound of gunfire rang out.

After the gunfire fell, Zhu Di handed the flintlock gun to Yu Tongyuan, who was eager and impatient, "This kind of flintlock gun has several advantages. First, the ignition rate is much higher than that of a match rope, and it is not afraid of ordinary strong winds. The main thing is Afraid of rain, secondly, the shooting speed is faster. With matchlocks and muskets, our army’s lieutenants can shoot at most three times a minute, while flintlock guns can do it five times a minute.”

At this point, Zhu Di couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

In the age of fusiliers, the most elite army was the Prussian Army.

The Prussian Army could do it, five times a minute.

The two experimental battalions of Yanfan's sea and land equipped with flintlock muskets, through continuous exploration, optimized the loading sequence and movements, and through repeated training, these two experimental battalions have also been able to complete five shots per minute.

"Of course, the main reason for increasing the rate of fire is not the improvement of the flintlock device, but the improvement of the paper shell ammunition."

Yu Tongyuan received a paper shell ammunition.

After pinching it, the paper shell is very thick.

When I bit open the paper shell and was about to try shooting myself, I noticed the details of the gunpowder.

It turned out not to be a powder, but in the form of fine granules.

Seeing Yu Tongyuan's surprise, Zhu Di explained with a smile, "This is granular gunpowder. In fact, it has the same ingredients as our powdered gunpowder. The weather in Luzon is humid, and powdered gunpowder is too susceptible to moisture. My arsenal has made this through repeated improvements. Grow granular gunpowder.”

Granular gunpowder, in addition to being less susceptible to moisture.

It can also slightly increase the power of gunpowder.

However, the amount of powder charged in the musket is too small and the performance is not obvious.

But in artillery, the performance is more obvious.

Yu Tongyuan sighed secretly. After loading, he raised his gun and aimed at the sea far away from the dock.

boom!

After pulling the trigger and the gunshot sounded, he couldn't put it down. He looked at it carefully for a while and handed it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "I will give this flintlock gun to Uncle Yu."

Yu Tongyuan suddenly said happily: "Your Majesty, I will accept it."

After saying that, he turned around and handed it to the general behind him.

Seeing that all the naval officers had entered the camp, he asked Zhu Di to go to the prepared place to stay.

As he walked, he asked curiously: "Your Majesty, is it difficult to make this kind of flintlock gun?"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "It's difficult. The trigger uses a steel shrapnel. This shrapnel drives the impact flash cap, generates power, and hits the flint to ignite. This steel shrapnel is the most technical part in making clocks."

Initially, flintlocks used springs and were called spring-loaded flintlocks.

But the production process is too complicated.

Not to mention the price is too expensive.

Maintenance is also very complicated.

Until Dongxu invented the clock spring, the arsenal soon discovered the huge value of this steel.

But at first, it couldn't be used.

Until the Shen family made improvements.

This kind of steel is barely enough to make flintlock shrapnel.

Even so, the shrapnel would break after an average of two hundred and sixty shots.

Moreover, the cost is still relatively expensive.

Therefore, he only equipped two experimental camps, sea and land.

Anyway, the current military demand for such better muskets is not so urgent.

There is no need to equip a new type of equipment in large quantities when its technology is immature.

The purpose of assembling two experimental battalions is mainly to summarize the experience in use first, and at the same time, find deficiencies during use so that the arsenal can continue to improve.

Overcome technical flaws.

……

Yu Tongyuan smiled bitterly silently.

Just by listening, he knew that it involved many technical issues.

Moreover, Daming does not know any of these technologies!

However, even King Yan's navy and army did not have batch equipment, so they were not in a hurry.

Yu Tongyuan turned his head and looked at a soldier from the Marine Corps following behind him, and said curiously: "Your Majesty, after returning to the court this time, I feel that the spirit of the soldiers under your command is completely different. In addition to the sense of intimidation of soldiers, I don't know why. The final general still feels a wind of justice in these soldiers that is irresistible and convincing. How did the prince train a group of soldiers to be like this?"

Yu Tongyuan finally asked.

The question he most wanted to ask.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will only make the people feel afraid.

But Yan Fan's soldiers, for some reason, gave people the illusion that they could be relied upon and trusted.

Zhu Di was slightly surprised.

Even Fang Xiaoru's summary of Yan Fan's navy and army was not as profound as Yu Tongyuan's!

Yes, Yan Fan's navy and army not only have the iron-blooded power that a soldier should have.

It also makes people feel safe and trustworthy after reading it.

After all, he had been in such an army.

Know how to make an army possess this spirit.

He can say it proudly.

Such an army, whether it was then or now, is the only one in the world in two eras!

"In fact, it is simple. It is to let the officers and soldiers master knowledge. In our army, since a few years ago, the officers and soldiers have to learn two words every day. Over the years, all the officers and soldiers have mastered at least 1,500 commonly used words. After the soldiers are literate, they must be taught what to fight for..."

In fact, the most important reason is to teach soldiers and soldiers the people's view of history.

But this cannot be said.

Yu Tongyuan opened his mouth in shock. In the end, he was left with only bitterness and secretly said: "I'm falling behind!" Falling behind! Daming is really lagging behind in every aspect! '

……

That night.

Zhu Di received the imperial edict urged by Zhu Yuanzhang at the Songjiangkou Division Camp.

Late at night.

After returning from Yu Tongyuan's banquet.

Zhu Di stood at the window where he stayed, looking out the window at the moon rising from the sea.

After Xu Miaoyun soaked the herbs in the footbath, she came to the window and looked at the bright moon rising over the sea. She shifted her gaze, turned her head slightly, looked at Zhu Di's angular profile, and asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"

Zhu Di came back to his senses, turned his head and smiled, "My father urged us to return to the court as soon as possible in the imperial edict, but he almost scolded us. The old man wants to see us as soon as possible. This is normal. Poor parents in the world, I am thinking, What will happen when we return to Daming this time and what can we see in Daming? Although we have learned about the current situation of Daming through maritime trade in recent years, we have not seen it with our own eyes. This time, I want to take a good look and go I’ll go to Jinling to have a look, then I’ll go back to Jiangning to have a look, and then I’ll go to the surrounding rural communities to have a look, I don’t know if I’ll be allowed to have a look or if it will be possible.”

The discussion of the people's economy and the elite's economy cannot be entirely based on his own subjective imagination.

There must be detailed actual evidence.

Observing Ming Dynasty will undoubtedly provide him with a lot of inspiration and practical basis.

"Actually, I am also a bit shy about being close to home." Xu Miaoyun smiled, leaned slightly sideways, and leaned on Zhu Di's shoulder. "I can't help but wonder if my father, father, and mother are getting old. Huizu and the others..."

Zhu Di smiled and patted Xu Miaoyun's hand holding his arm, "I'm afraid Miaoxiu will have to settle accounts with me this time. She got married, we didn't come back, and you didn't come back either. I guess she settled this account. It’s my brother-in-law’s fault.”

Xu Miaoyun smiled.

When Miao Xiu got married, it happened to be the most intense period when Chen Zuyi canceled his imperial title and established business relationships with the Ming Dynasty. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty united with Chen Zuyi to squeeze out the merchants of the Yan vassal.

During this period, she was the princess of Yan Fan.

How can I go back to Ming Dynasty?

What would the merchants of Yan Fan think?

Moreover, competition with each other was fierce at that time.

Central Plains merchants did not have an advantage.

Merchants from the Central Plains began to take advantage when administrative means were used to implement local protection in the coastal areas of the Central Plains.

At that time, Yanfan merchants went to the Ming Dynasty to purchase goods, and they always faced criticism from local officials, either openly or covertly.

If there is no place to protect.

There is no way that the Central Plains maritime merchants could take away Yan Fan’s dominant position in Ming Dynasty maritime trade so quickly.

"It's okay. When the time comes, put the clock, bicycle, and new-style carriage in front of Miao Xiu, and she will immediately forget that we didn't attend her wedding. I understand this girl."

……

The next day.

The sky is bright.

Under the personal escort of Yu Tongyuan, Zhu Di's fleet sailed upstream from the mouth of the Songjiang River into the inland rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

It's approaching noon. The people of Jinling poured out of Wudingmen and headed for the Qinhuai River.

"Your Majesty will be back at noon, right?"

"It's true, all the officials from the Imperial Court's Department of Etiquette have left the city!"

"Are the things that have been rumored these days true? King Yan Fan really invented a vehicle that does not need to be pulled by oxen and horses, and an object that can accurately measure time?"

"Those are clocks and bicycles. I have relatives working in Mr. Fang's house. Mr. Fang went to send an invitation letter to King Yan on behalf of the court. It must be true!"

……

It's been a few years.

Many people in Jinling are eager to see Zhu Di now.

East Palace.

Hall of Beauty.

Beauty Wang couldn't help but frown slightly as she watched her son and daughter devouring their food.

In the past few years, she has not given birth to any children for the prince.

It's not that he lost the prince's favor.

On the contrary, the prince's favor for her has never diminished.

However, she is self-aware.

Because the Crown Princess gave birth to His Highness Yunxi, she could no longer have children. If she gave birth to another child, she would be worried about irritating the Crown Princess sister.

Maybe her villain's heart can judge a gentleman's heart.

Anyway, there is no harm in being cautious. The princess sister doesn't care, but the Chang family may not care!

Then the concubine gave birth to another son for the prince.

Now I'm pregnant again.

She is not envious, now she has a son and a daughter.

The prince's continued favor for her was enough.

Wang Meiren smiled and served Zhu Yuxiu and Zhu Yunxu some food, "Slow down, why are you eating so fast? Let's follow your father to greet him outside Hongwu Gate. There is still time."

"Mom, that's enough." Zhu Yunzhen held the bowl away and quickly took the food in the bowl into his mouth. He chewed and said vaguely: "We are going to the pier with big brother..."

"Yes!" Zhu Yuxiu said eagerly: "Mom, I want to see the kind of bicycles Qihua and the others ride. I haven't seen Zhu Qihua for many years. When she copied the Diamond Sutra, I accidentally stained it for her, and she actually He also begged the emperor’s grandfather for me, but actually, I don’t hate Zhu Qihua at all.”

The smile on Wang Meiren's face disappeared, "Don't go! Follow your father and wait outside Hongwu Gate!"

Zhu Yunzhen and his brother were all stunned.

Zhu Yunxuan said unhappily: "Mom, why? My eldest brother went to the pier to greet our fourth uncle, and we went with him. What's wrong?"

"It's not allowed anyway!"

Wang Meiren said angrily with a cold face.

She vaguely felt that the prince actually did not want Zhu Silang to come back.

After all, in these years, according to the news received, the development of Ming Dynasty was not as good as Zhu Silang's Yan Fan.

"Also, don't get too close to your eldest brother. You are just a very ordinary, ordinary grandson of the emperor. Being low-key and mediocre is what you should do. Don't always follow behind your eldest brother!"

She also understands Daming's situation.

In recent years, the entire conservative elite group has been wary, suspicious, and wary of Taisun.

He didn't dare to point his finger at Taisun directly.

It is nothing more than the Huangming ancestral system established by his father when he founded the country, which established the orthodox identity of the hero early on.

Secondly, the emperor is still alive, and his support and love for the heroes prevent the conservative elite group from tampering with the situation.

Thirdly, there are a large number of heroic supporters among the generals.

In the demonstration area, Lan Yu and Zhang Yu, who are in charge of civil and military affairs, are now in charge of these 100,000 elites!

Among the new troops in the Beijing camp, people such as Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, Qu Neng, and Xu Huizu also supported Xiongying.

In addition, the Chang family, Tang family, and Xu family had cultivated and promoted military commanders.

The fathers of these three families are sworn brothers.

The Chang family is the grandson's maternal uncle's family, so of course they support Xiongying.

The Xu family supported Xiongying because of Zhu Silang.

The Tang family supports Xiongying because of His Majesty.

It seems that Sun Xiongying has great support in the military.

But that's just for now.

Chang Yuchun is dead.

It is unclear how long the legacy of his subordinates can last.

As for the Xu and Tang families, in the future, with the deaths of Xu Da and Tang He, it is unknown how much of their personal network in the military will survive.

Your Majesty and Queen Mother will always leave in the future.

However, the conservative elite group is wary and suspicious of heroes. She feels that it will be very intense in the future as the older generations leave one after another.

Yunzhen can't get too close to his grandson.

As long as she remains low-key, mediocre and unknown, and waits for the crown prince to ascend the throne, she can find a good fiefdom for her son, and go to the fiefdom to become a wealthy and prosperous king.

Innovation is not mixed either.

Don’t be conservative and don’t get involved!

This is the wisest choice.

"Mom, you are just timid and afraid of getting into trouble!"

Eight-year-old Zhu Yunxuan had already made up his mind and snorted coldly: "I wonder who dares to do anything against eldest brother. Do you really think that the fourth uncle is a fool? If the eldest brother has three advantages and two shortcomings, mother, believe it or not, the fourth uncle's gunboats, navy and army, We can kill the Ming Dynasty immediately and make the Ming Dynasty bleed like a river!"

"I guess that in the heart of the fourth uncle, the status of the eldest brother and cousin Yong Ming is almost the same. Otherwise, the fourth uncle has not returned to Beijing for so many years. Why, this time, the eldest brother got married, but the fourth uncle came back. From this incident, it can be seen that How much the fourth uncle cares about the eldest brother. Our eldest sister-in-law is still the student of the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt. With these relationships, whoever dares to touch the eldest brother will be the old man who eats arsenic and is looking for death! Not to mention the conservative elite group, I am afraid that it is the father who wants to change the heir. You have to think carefully..."

After all, it was about Zhu Biao, and Zhu Yunzhen's voice gradually weakened.

Snapped!

When Beauty Wang heard Zhu Yunxu criticizing Zhu Biao, she couldn't help but raise her hand and slap Zhu Yunxu in the face.

Leng Leng said angrily: "I can't say, I just can't! Also, no matter how powerful your fourth uncle is, his Yan Fan is just a small place! Today, you must follow us to greet us at Hongwu Gate, and you are not allowed to leave the city! "

Zhu Yunzhen stood up, covered his face, and said angrily: "I'm going out of the city, I admire you big brother."

After saying that, Zhu Yunzhen turned around and ran out.

Wang Mei stood up angrily, "I'm not obedient anymore. Okay, I'm not obedient anymore. I'm your mother. How can I still harm you..."

When Wang Mei turned back and forth in anger.

Zhu Yuxiu quietly put down her bowls and chopsticks, moved on tiptoe, and left quietly.

……

East Gate of the East Palace.

"Brother, wait for us!"

Zhu Xiongying raised the curtains of the car and saw Zhu Yunzhen and Zhu Yuxiu running to catch up.

"parking."

The carriage stopped.

After a while.

Zhu Yunzhen's sister and brother caught up with him out of breath and got on Zhu Xiongying's carriage.

In the carriage, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi were sitting.

"Big brother."

The two siblings greeted Zhu Xiongying out of breath.

Zhu Xiongying nodded with a smile and pointed at the red mark on Zhu Yunzhen's face, "What's wrong with you?"

"Stop talking!" Zhu Yunzhen touched his face, a sharp stinging pain came through, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and said: "My mother beat me. She didn't let us follow the eldest brother to greet the fourth uncle, and she didn't let the eldest brother and I leave. Too close..."

Zhu Yuxiu quietly pulled Zhu Yunxi's sleeve.

Zhu Yunzhen shook his hand and turned his head, "Sister, even if I don't tell my mother's little thoughts, my eldest brother still doesn't know about it? Moreover, if I tell you, my eldest brother won't care about it like my mother does."

Zhu Yuxiu sneered and lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "When I went to Liaodong with my fourth uncle when I was four years old, my fourth uncle told me to teach me that children should not interfere with adults' matters and don't care. I will also give these words to you."

Zhu Yunzhen nodded repeatedly.

This is why he prefers his eldest brother to his second brother Zhu Yunwen.

The second brother Zhu Yunwen looked gentle and elegant, but he always gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

But the eldest brother is different.

He always talks about things as they happen, and he is very tolerant.

Maybe I learned this kind of character from my fourth uncle.

The last time his fourth uncle came back to help in the Northern Expedition, he was still young and couldn't remember clearly.

Zhu Xiongying rushed out of the car and shouted: "Let's go."

……

Qinhuai River Pier.

When Zhu Xiongying arrived with his younger siblings, there was already a sea of ​​people.

Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong crowded among the crowd and watched Zhu Xiongying's carriage drive by.

snort!

Lu Ben hummed slightly and whispered, "Our great-grandson is indeed a grateful person. He came to welcome Zhu Silang in such an open and honest manner."

Hu Weiyong stood behind Lu Ben's wheelchair. Hearing the sound, he leaned over slightly, smiled and whispered, "Isn't this better?"

The smile on Lu Ben's lips flashed away and he nodded slightly.

The more Zhu Xiongying refused to cut off with Zhu Silang.

Even if he does not express any opinions on so-called reforms such as the employee shareholding system.

Within the Ming Dynasty, the huge conservative elite group will also become increasingly wary of Zhu Xiongying.

I am worried that Zhu Xiongying will follow up on the heresy proposed by Zhu Silang in the future!

This is beneficial to Yunwen, replace it!

Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and a group of princes and princesses stood in front.

Saw Zhu Xiongying getting off the carriage.

Zhu Fang said with emotion: "Xiong Ying is a good boy. In such a situation, he actually dares to be so open and upright to welcome the fourth child. Moreover, Xiong Ying has learned the essence of how the fourth child behaves. I heard that our nephews and nieces , are all very convinced of Xiongying, especially Yunzhen, and have become Xiongying’s followers.”

Zhu Fan smiled, knowing that the second brother complained that the eldest brother did not go out of the city to greet the fourth child, he explained in a low voice: "The fourth child is coming back this time as the master of the Yan vassal. As the prince of our Ming Dynasty, it is reasonable for the eldest brother to greet him at Hongwu Gate. If According to the general diplomatic relations, there is no need for the eldest brother to greet you. Now, when you welcome him at Hongwumen, when considering diplomatic relations, there is also a consideration of brotherhood."

snort!

Zhu Ming snorted slightly, "Yes, he is the prince, and he always weighs the Ming Dynasty and his own interests. Everything must give way to these. Why didn't he consider how many things the fourth child has done for him, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, in these years! If it weren’t for Lao Si’s rural village community, the people of the Ming Dynasty would not even have enough to eat. During the Northern Expedition, if it weren’t for Lao Si, he would now..."

Seeing Zhu Xiongying approaching, Zhu Ping stopped in time.

Changing the subject, he said with a smile: "Our family Shang Bing has been with the fourth child for several years, but he is no longer very good. Third child, you are reluctant to let your child leave your side. You made a mistake."

Zhu Fan glared angrily.

Zhu Laoer is shameless and behaves even though he gets an advantage.

He also wanted to teach his eldest son to his fourth son.

But brothers can't all imitate Zhu Laoer and be so shameless, right?

The fourth child has to work hard overseas again and has to raise and teach their children?

"Second uncle, third uncle..." Zhu Xiongying came up at this time and saluted the emperor's uncle and aunt with a smile.

"Okay, no need." Zhu Xi was very happy because Zhu Xiongying dared to come to greet Zhu Di in a grand manner at this time. He appreciated it, put his arms around Zhu Xiongying's shoulders, and joked: "This time, your fourth uncle must have brought a lot. Good stuff, it’s a wedding gift for you and your young couple, should you share it with your second uncle?”

"Don't forget Third Uncle."

"Haha, heroes, and us."

……

A group of princes and princesses joked.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and spread his hands, "Uncle and aunt, you can just go to your fourth uncle and ask for it. Are you even going to rob your nephew's things?"

Haha ...

A group of princes and princesses suddenly burst into laughter.

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, the assistant ministers on the left and right, who came on behalf of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but look at him sideways.

Look at each other.

Huang Zicheng whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, "Zhu Silang has been away for several years, but his influence among the princes and princesses has increased day by day?"

……

royal palace.

The officials of the six yamen were not interested in official duties, so they walked out of the yamen one after another, stood at the entrance of the yamen, and gathered together to discuss quietly.

"Even if this person comes back as the lord of the Yan vassal, he should enter the palace as soon as possible, right?"

"Probably. Hey, I don't know what kind of evil spirits he will bring back. Now that he has left, why would he come back? I really thought that this Ming Dynasty belongs to him, or that our Ming Dynasty welcomes him."

"Don't say that. I heard that the entire Jinling City people heard the news and went to greet him."

"Huh, what a bunch of fools!"

"Your Majesty can't sit still anymore, look..."

……

Outside the imperial study room.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood with his hands behind his hands. Under the sunlight, his head was full of white hair. He leaned forward slightly and stared in the direction of Hongwu Gate with squinted eyes.

Accompanied by Cai Lu, Ma Xiuying approached from a distance and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expectant look. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't pretend? Are you afraid that such a scene, if the fourth child sees it, will damage your paternal rights?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and glared, waved his hand and said: "We are already this age, why do we care about that!"

Cai Lu lowered his head and pursed his lips to hold back a smile.

Ma Xiuying walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, followed Zhu Yuanzhang's line of sight, looked in the direction that Zhu Di would definitely pass after entering the palace, and said with a smile: "You finally understand, it's not too late."

……

Outside Hongwu Gate.

Zhu Biao waited quietly with Crown Princess Chang, Concubine Lu, Wang Meiren and other ministers in the East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen stood beside Zhu Biao.

Look left and right.

Except for his three-year-old brother.

Zhu Yunxu, Zhu Yuxiu, and Zhu Yunxi all followed their eldest brother out of the city.

A smile couldn't help but appear on the corners of his lips.

'I must have gained points in my father's heart again. '

He didn't believe Fang Xiaoru's exaggerated words.

Zhu Qihua, Zhu Yongming, a princess and prince from a foreign country, what qualifications do you have to let him go out of the city to greet him!

Come to Hongwumen and praise them!

……

"I'm coming!"

On both sides of the lively Qinhuai River, at a certain moment, people suddenly shouted excitedly.

Zhu Xiang and others looked at the fleet approaching in the distance, and their spirits were suddenly shaken.

In the crowd behind.

Lu Ben was sitting in a wheelchair, trying to stretch his neck, but was blocked by the crowd and unable to observe. He squeezed the broken leg tightly with both hands and secretly gritted his teeth: "Zhu Silang!" '

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng looked at each other and took a breath silently.

Although the Ministry of Rites discussed the regulations for welcoming Zhu Silang, they raised the issue of hair accessories and clothing.

But the new Minister of Rites and other colleagues unanimously passed the resolution, but no one was willing to do it.

It's just that they are afraid of Zhu Silang.

In the end, those shameless people blamed the matter on the two of them.

but it does not matter.

Today, all decisions are made unanimously by the Ministry of Rites.

They are not afraid!

Even Zhu Silang didn't dare to do anything to them.

"Your Majesty!"

"Welcome back, Your Majesty!"

……

When the fleet entered the area where people on both sides of the strait were watching, the people on the shore began to shout loudly.

Xu Miaoyun listened to the shouts from the shore, turned her head slightly and looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

The people have not changed much.

However, it is obvious that the people still remember Shiro.

"Don't you say hello to the people?" Xu Miaoyun asked softly.

Li Qi, Zhu Jingjing and a group of people standing behind them all looked at Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di hesitated slightly, he raised his hand and waved to both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

He didn't want to make too much of a fuss.

But then I thought about it, the people were like this, if he didn't even say hello, he would be ignoring the people's enthusiasm.

As for, what do certain groups think?

who cares.

"The prince has greeted us!"

"Welcome back, Your Majesty!"

……

When the people saw Zhu Di waving to both sides of the Taiwan Strait, they immediately shouted excitedly, and the noisy mood instantly became more boiling.

ashore.

Zhu Fang and others looked at the enthusiastic welcoming people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and couldn't help but open their mouths in slight shock.

They haven't been shocked by the surprise brought back by the fourth child.

First of all, I was shocked by the attitude of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Fang smiled and shook his head, "When Lao Si didn't leave the Ming Dynasty, weren't the people's enthusiasm for Lao Si so strong? After several years, instead of cooling down due to time, they have become more and more fanatical? I'm afraid some people When the crowd sees this scene, they will gnash their teeth with hatred!”

Zhu Fan smiled.

In fact, it is not difficult to explain this reaction of the people.

First of all, only when you lose it can you realize how precious it is.

The departure of the fourth child brought an abrupt end to the employment-based shareholding system that had just emerged.

The people just don’t have the right to speak, and they are not fools!

Secondly, in recent years, Laosi Yanfan’s hand-operated sewing machines and cheap iron are all related to and affecting people’s daily lives.

Especially something as fashionable as a sewing machine.

It is not expensive, and many Ming Dynasty families will save money and buy one.

Then they took over the work of sewing finished shoes and clothes, and many people benefited from it.

Today, tailor shops are very common throughout the Ming Dynasty.

"Wow! Look at the clothes the fourth sister-in-law and the imperial sister are wearing, they look great!"

As the cruise ship approaches.

The princesses were the first to exclaim when they saw what Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Jingjing were wearing.

A group of sisters-in-law such as Guanyin Nu, Princess Xie of Jin, gathered together, looked at the clothes of Xu Miaoyun and others, and couldn't help but whisper.

"I just heard that the fourth brother Yan Fan promoted new clothes. I didn't expect women's clothes to be so beautiful."

"It's quite beautiful."

……

"Indecent!"

Huang Zicheng's red nose twitched slightly, and he said angrily in a low voice: "Look, the evil spirit has indeed been brought back! Let's go and see Zhu Silang and talk about the greeting rules of our etiquette department! We must destroy this evil spirit! The couple can do whatever they want overseas, but this evil spirit will never be allowed to be brought back to the Ming Dynasty!"
