Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 452
  Two brothers, Zhu Su and Zhu Gui, led their own guards and rode horses from the north.

When they arrived outside Jiangdu City, they saw Zhu Di and others had arrived. At the same time, they reined in the reins and the two armies quickly stopped.

"I've met Uncle Thirteen and Uncle Nineteen."

Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jixi said at the same time.

Zhu Su smiled and said: "The two eldest nephews are also back. Fourth brother and seventeenth brother, you are already here."

"Fourth brother, seventeenth brother."

Zhu Gui also said hello and said: "The two eldest nephews came back so quickly."

Zhu Di said: "We have almost arranged our affairs, so we will come back immediately. We will only come back a little earlier than you, but it is not too early. We are waiting for other brothers in Jiangdu. Let's go back to Beijing together, right?"

"Okay!"

Zhu Gui nodded.

They were not in a hurry to go back, but when they returned to Jiangdu, they had to have someone send a letter back to Beijing to tell their father.

"I wonder who will come to pick us up this time?"

Zhu Quan said with interest.

Zhu Di guessed what Lao Zhu was thinking and said, "It should still be our little nephew."

"Little Yunxuan?"

Zhu Su didn't think anything was wrong after hearing this. It would be best if Xiao Yunxuan came.

By the way, let me tell you about the friendship we had when we had dinner at the main hall.

Zhu Di said: "It should be."

He could see that Lao Zhu meant to have a better relationship between Zhu Xuan and their imperial uncles. From now on, the uncle and nephew would work together to govern the Ming Dynasty, contribute to the construction of the Ming Dynasty, and shine.

After meeting outside Jiangdu City, they entered the city together.

The local officials knew that the vassal king was back and met in Jiangdu. They hurried out to greet him and arranged everything.

-

Time passed quickly, and several days passed.

Zhu Xuan got the news from the emperor's grandfather that the emperor's uncles who were due to return had all arrived in Jiangdu and were waiting for him to lead the imperial edict to greet him. He was quite happy with this, so he took Lei Gang and left the city to prepare to cross the river.

But while at the riverside, Zhu Xuan met a stranger.

"I'm in peace, sir. I'll pay my respects to His Royal Highness, the young emperor."

When the man saw Zhu Xuan's carriage coming, he knelt down and bowed respectfully.

Zhu Xuan quickly jumped off the carriage, looked at the other person for a while, and thought that he was Ping An. He had just recommended this person to Grandpa Huang not long ago, and he came so quickly and said: "Uncle Ping is so polite, hurry up and invite me."

After getting up safely, he bowed and said, "I don't dare!"

"Why don't you dare?"

Zhu Xuan knew that Ping An was a capable person, and smiled enthusiastically: "Uncle Ping is the adopted son of Grandpa Huang, and he is my uncle. We are a family, so there is no need to be polite."

Hearing this, Ping An's eyes heated up.

The feeling of being recognized is so comfortable, but before coming, Lao Zhu hinted to him that Zhu Xuan might be the emperor's grandson and the heir to the Ming Dynasty.

Ping An understood the weight of Lao Zhu's hint, which was to make him a minister of the dragon. With Zhu Xuan's recognition of him, he secretly thought that he must be loyal to the little emperor and the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Ping An said gratefully that as Lao Zhu's adopted son, he has little blood relationship with Lao Zhu's family.

He must not lack the respect that should be given.

"Why is Uncle Ping here?"

Zhu Xuan asked curiously.

Ping An said: "His Majesty asked me to come and accompany His Highness to welcome all the vassal princes back to the capital."

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan thought for a while and didn't quite understand what Grandpa Huang meant, but he didn't care much and agreed, "Okay! Then let's cross the river together to meet Fourth Uncle and the others."

The boats to cross the river have been arranged long ago.

Considering the large number of soldiers and horses of the imperial uncles, there were quite a few ferries on the shore.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Xuan thought about how important a cross-river bridge was, and he had to let the people in the Science Pavilion implement it as soon as possible.

Crossed the river and landed in Jiangbei.

Before they arrived in Jiangdu, they saw that Zhu Di and the others had already brought people to the dock on the shore to wait. “Little Yunxuan!”

Zhu Di shouted first, appearing to have a good relationship with Zhu Xuan.

"Fourth uncle, fifth uncle..."

Zhu Xuan had no choice but to greet the emperor's uncles one by one and said: "Uncles, please wait a moment, the emperor still has an imperial edict."

"My sons and ministers accept the order."

Upon hearing that there was an imperial edict, everyone present, except Zhu Xuan, knelt down.

Zhu Xuan opened the imperial edict and saw that the beginning was not in the format of "Heaven carries the emperor", but a very simple thing similar to a letter, and he read: "You bastards, you are still lingering in Jiangdu after you come back, don't we give an order? Don’t you even dare to cross the river? Come back here right now. You must be the one who led the way, Fourth Brother. When you come back, let’s see how we deal with you.”

There was not much content in the imperial edict, and Zhu Xuan finished reading it quickly.

Zhu Di was stunned when he heard the last part.

Why is the father only targeting himself?

Several other imperial uncles also looked at Zhu Di, somewhat gloating about his misfortune.

After Zhu Xuan finished reciting, he said: "Uncle Fourth, don't be nervous. Grandpa Huang is just joking. Get up quickly."

"My son, I accept the decree."

They shouted in unison again before daring to get up.

Zhu Xuan added: "The uncles are all back. Our family has not been so lively for a long time."

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "I didn't expect that little Yunxuan would come to greet us."

"Ping Bao'er is here too."

Zhu Xi said at this time: "Long time no see."

Ping An cupped his hands and said, "I have met your highnesses."

Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder and said enthusiastically: "Ping Bao'er, why are you so polite? We are all a family, let's go back together, I will be punished by my father."

Ping An said: "Your Highnesses, please cross the river first. Your Majesty asked me to come, and also gave me an oral instruction, saying that I will lead your Highnesses' soldiers for the time being, and they will cross the river one after another later."

It turns out that this is the role of peace.

Zhu Xuan finally understood Grandpa Huang’s intentions.

"Then please trouble Ping Bao'er."

Zhu Di didn't think it was anything, and said boldly: "Zhang Fu, please get to know Heping Bao'er."

Zhang Fu is one of the most important generals around Zhu Di.

In history, he lived in the south of China, served in four dynasties, and was a general.

Zhu Xuan took a look at the man who came out of Zhu Di's personal guard camp. He was tall and round, and he looked like a fierce man at first glance.

"I've met General Ping."

Zhang Fu bowed before Ping An.

The other imperial uncles also called out their generals one after another to get to know Ping An before obeying Ping An's arrangements.

"Little Yunxuan, can you cross the river?"

Zhu Di asked.

Zhu Ru laughed and said: "Fourth brother is so eager to go back and be dealt with by the father?"

As soon as this was said, the other imperial uncles all laughed.

"It's more than I can ask for to be dealt with by my father."

Zhu Di didn't care.

They still seemed to be in harmony, but it was not a superficial harmony. Zhu Xuan couldn't tell. After all, those uncles were not fuel-efficient, especially Zhu Laosi.

"Since Fourth Uncle can't wait, let's go back first."

Zhu Xuan shouted loudly and led everyone to cross the river together.

Ping An continued to stay in Jiangbei, took over the soldiers of the feudal kings, and then arranged to cross the river.
