Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 724 The prince is promising

  British public.

   Xiao Jing looked surprised, looking at the dumb Ouyang Zhi.

  This Ouyang Zhi really has the air of a general.

  He was not surprised...

  Xiao Jing was even more surprised.

   You know, this must be a big deal.

  What is the duty of the Duke of England? He is the vanguard. He is the chief general. How can the chief general leave his post without authorization?

   But the British Duke returned to the Chinese army camp in the dark. What does this mean?

   "Ouyang Shi said, what do you think?"

  Ouyang Zhi was silent for a long time: "Something important must have happened!"

   "..."

   Xiao Jing was also dull.

   Immediately, he squinted his eyes and said to the people: "Your Majesty has already gone to bed. These days, His Majesty is not feeling well...Finally fell asleep, and call the British Duke over to see what is the big deal."

   After a while, the British official came.

  Xiao Jing saw that Zhang Mao's eye circles were red.

  It seems to be...crying.

   Xiao Jing was scared to pee in an instant.

  What happened, what happened? Pioneer's Xiaoqi Battalion was wiped out? Daming's country is over?

  This British Duke Zhang Mao, at any rate, is also the elder of the two dynasties. He has never seen such a big storm. The person who goes to worship all day long is the most dignified. What can make the British Duke so...

  Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat, his scalp was numb.

  That Zhang Mao stepped forward.

   "I want to see Your Majesty. There is an urgent report here. Your Majesty must read it."

  Xiao Jingdao: "What's the matter?"

  Zhang Mao pursed his lips, but he was a little bit speechless. He was afraid that if he said it, he would feel sad again.

   Seeing Zhang Mao's appearance, Xiao Jing felt that the situation was serious. He wanted to say something, but at this time, the big tent said: "Who is it?"

   is His Majesty's voice.

  Xiao Jing couldn't care about Zhang Mao anymore, he was busy entering the tent, only a small oil lamp was lit in the big tent, it was dim, Xiao Jing bowed down, and said to the dimly lit bed, "British Duke Zhang Mao asks to see you."

   "What time is it?" In fact, Hongzhi didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, but he didn't want to make others worry, so he pretended to be asleep.

  Hearing the movement outside at this time, he couldn't help asking.

  Hearing Xiao Jing say that Zhang Mao asked to see him, Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback: "Isn't he in the vanguard camp?"

"yes?"

   "What happened?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

   "I don't know." Xiao Jing thought for a while, but couldn't open his mouth: "Your servant... Seeing the Duke of England... with tears in his eyes."

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt dizzy.

   Something happened, sure enough, something happened, what kind of person is the British Duke, what can make him tearful.

  Emperor Hongzhi said with difficulty: "Call in, call in, hold the lamp, hold the lamp..."

  Emperor Hongzhi stood up with difficulty alone, wearing only his underwear, pacing back and forth.

  Zhang Mao and Ouyang Zhi quickly entered the account.

   And Xiao Jing lit one lamp after another, and in a blink of an eye, the tent was brightly lit.

   "What happened?" Emperor Hongzhi said anxiously: "If something happens, even if the sky falls, we must report it truthfully."

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Mao tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but just as His Majesty finished speaking, he suddenly felt his eyes dry up, tears fell to the ground, and choked up, "Your Majesty... Nanchang Mansion, it's settled, it's settled ...His Royal Highness, together with Fang Jifan and Zhang Yuanxi, killed King Ning and restored Nanchang Mansion..."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

  He thought it was bad news?

  How in the blink of an eye...

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "What did you say? You said that King Ning died and the crown prince took down Nanchang City? If so, why are you crying?"

   "Old minister, weeping with joy. Your Majesty, this is a report, please read it."

   took out the memorial and sent it to Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi quickly grabbed the report, and then opened it like a madman. He glanced at it at a glance. This look... was shocked at first, and then surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This little...beautiful photo, he is really...really impressive. Just a few people quelled the rebellion? The flying ball flew into the sky and ordered people to kill...Why didn't I think of it at the beginning? If I knew it, wouldn't it be If you want King Pingning, only a few people can do it? But... I..." Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but pat himself on the forehead.

  Actually... these are not important, the important thing is to know that this little beast is still alive.

  Alive, everything is fine.

Emperor Hongzhi paced back and forth anxiously, saying: "Fang Jifan went to the city first, this guy has some guts. Houzhao, Jifan, there is Yang Biao, and the other is Shen Ao, right? And... Zhang Yuanxi, Zhang Yuanxi Is it the lame one, and... Li Yi, who is Li Yi?"

   "King of Korea." Xiao Jing couldn't help reminding.

   "Yes." Emperor Hongzhi couldn't understand this combination.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked down again and frowned: "Liu Jin is loyal...he is dead? Is it the one who listens to him and doesn't look like an eunuch?"

   "It's him." Xiao Jing sighed in his heart, dead? Oh, if you die, you will die. This **** usually arranges us in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Without us, he would be where he is today. Come to the Supervisor of Rituals, talk to him in a nice voice, and we will let go, and he will steal the dried fruit on our case and eat it. Is this still a human being, and does he still take us seriously? This is a provocation, isn't this implying us that sooner or later this supervisor will belong to him, Liu Jin?

  Emperor Hongzhi was surprised and delighted: "He is a loyal minister, it is a pity to die."

   "Yes, yes, it's a pity." Everyone responded together.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Find his bones and bury him generously. This is considered a meritorious service. Check to see if he has any nephews. If so, give him a hereditary thousand households."

   "Slaves obey orders."

  Emperor Hongzhi sat down and looked at the memorial carefully, not knowing whether to scold or praise.

"This Zhu Chenhao is self-defeating. Now, the crown prince took his dog's life, which saves a military disaster and saves countless people. Hey... the crown prince is old, and he has his own opinion. Now that I think of it, I will Looking at this report, I only blame myself. I ignored his strengths and only focused on his weaknesses. In all fairness, there are a few people in the world who are better than him. Zhang Qing family, you are a warrior, you Touching my heart, I said, in terms of military strategy, are you as good as the crown prince?"

  Zhang Mao suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and he wanted to spurt out a mouthful of old blood again. He tried his best to hold back, just bowed to the ground, unable to answer.

  How to answer, I, Lao Zhang, have worshiped the ancestors and ancestors all my life, how do I know, Lao Zhang is more powerful, or the prince is more powerful?

   Sprinkling salt in the wound is nothing more than that.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, but Emperor Hongzhi was already beaming with joy, and a big stone fell from his heart: "I'm thirsty."

  Xiao Jing was busy getting tea.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Yes, is Zhang Yuanxi the son of Zhang Sheng? Please come to Zhang Qing's family."

  Xiao Jing nodded.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately sighed: "These people are all from Xishan. There are many weird things about this Western learning. To be honest, it's too disturbing. The unity of knowledge and action sometimes makes sense. Sometimes I see the behavior of these scholars. I felt too worried. But now, I understand that they are just a group of children who want to do things. They are willing to take risks and carry out the things they have decided on. There is nothing wrong with this."

   After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, he was deeply moved.

  After this time, he thought about it.

  The crown prince is the crown prince, and this is his own son. No matter how much you make trouble, no matter how you ban it, it will be useless. It is better to be sparse than to be blocked.

   What's more, they are really capable of doing things. If they really put down the rebellion step by step, how many people will die, how many people will be let down, and their wives and children will be separated.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "This is a great achievement, and the people of the Western Schools have made this great achievement, not once or twice."

After he finished speaking, he looked excited: "Let's just talk about this prince. He has a great strategy, made a decisive decision, went deep into the tiger's den, and made achievements that are not as good as Emperor Yawen's. Luckily, I think it’s time to offer sacrifices to our ancestors, Zhang Qing’s family, just right, this Jiangnan is coming, you have to go to Nanjing, personally worship the Taizu, on behalf of me, with the Taizu Emperor Gao, in front of his mausoleum, Tell him, Zhu Houzhao, my son, has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, with extraordinary talents, and now he only serves a few people. After the rebellion of King Pingning, the descendants of later generations dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Taizu Gao. If you win the world, you will be unworthy in the future. You should rule the world with literary strategy, and use martial arts to level the world. Only in this way can you comfort the spirit of Emperor Taizu Gao. Tomorrow morning, you set off, and there should be no delay along the way, do you understand?"

  Zhang Mao's face was numb.

  It seems... until now, although he is helpless, he still accepts the arrangement of fate: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "The Qing family will take care of these things, so I can rest assured. It's a pity that Ji Fan has a brain disorder, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to communicate with the world. Otherwise, I will be even more relieved if he goes to worship the ancestors with you. Not being able to pay homage to the ancestors is his consort's captain's regret."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Zhang Mao's voice was stiff.

  Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "I think the Qing family is tired. Come, let Zhang Qing's family go to rest."

  Zhang Mao shook his head, all hope was lost and he said: "There are no shortage of veterans, here, it is good to accompany His Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

  Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "The crown prince settled in Nanchang in an instant, this is because of His Majesty's virtue."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "This is the crown prince's contribution, and it is also the contribution of Jifan and his Xixuemen. What do I have to do? Don't put gold on my face. I don't have the guts to follow the prince to King Pingning. Look Look at how many soldiers and horses I have on my trip out of Beijing, inside and outside.

Xiao Jing looked embarrassed, but seeing His Majesty was overjoyed, he felt warm in his heart: "Your Majesty, it's all over now, the Rebellion of King Ning has been put down, and it looks like the Chinese New Year is coming, Your Majesty just in time for the New Year's Eve , the class teacher returns to court..."

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Return to the court? What about the crown prince?"

  Xiao Jingdao: "I ordered him to return in triumph."

  Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing meaningfully: "I made one decree, and he can use ten decrees to stay in Nanchang. This kid finally escaped from the cage. Will he come back so easily?"
