This day is the fifth day of March in the ninth year of Shenwu. It is suitable for travel, marriage and vacation, and everything else.

Lu Qinghou and Deng Yuanjue stood at the front, watching the teams two miles away lined up on both sides, with yellow flags fluttering and flags flying. Standing behind them were Ning Buhui, Gao Yu, Lou Minzhong, Li Yun, Li Tianding, Shen Zhuo and Zhang Jian. Waiting for them, Jinling City opened wide behind them, and rows of doornails as big as fists were repainted with gold paint, making them look particularly dazzling.

At three o'clock in the morning, the mighty motorcade in the distance appeared in sight. Under the leadership of Lu Qinghou and Deng Yuanjue, everyone moved forward to greet them. Although there were smiles on their faces, some of them had frowns. Lock, such as Ning Bu Regret.

The six-horse carriage stopped in front of everyone, and Lu Qinghou shouted: "Welcome to the Holy Duke."

Everyone knelt down together, raised their hands above their heads, clasped their fists and saluted: "Welcome to the Holy Duke."

The curtains of the six carriages slowly opened from the inside, two maids walked out, put down the stools, and a middle-aged man walked out, smiling, stroking his beard, strode down, and stepped forward to help him. Lu Qinghou and Deng Yuanjue stood up and said, "Why are you giving such a big salute? You conquered this state capital. If you want to salute, it's me who salutes you."

After saying this, they were about to salute. Deng Yuanjue and Lu Qinghou hurriedly stood up, holding the man in front of him and said: "The Holy Duke can't do it. You are the son of heaven, you can't do it, you can't do it."

"Hahaha..." The man laughed and shook his body. His body was big and round, not bloated, and he looked powerful. He saw Ning Buhui at a glance, stepped forward and said, "My good daughter is here too, how about it?" Is your stay comfortable? Your godmother is behind you and she set off a little late. Before leaving, she gave many instructions to settle you in well, and said she couldn’t let you endure hardship. Where are you living now? "

Who is this person if he's not Fang La? When Fang La saw Ning Buhui, his eyes couldn't move, and he stared at Ning Buhui with a look of love on his face.

In addition to envy, everyone was still envious, but they heard Ning Buhui salute and say: "Everything is fine, godfather, don't worry, the adults still take good care of Buhui."

"Taking care of you is your duty. Zhujian Villa has been a hero from the beginning to the end. His merits are outstanding. You can't match them just by winning a city. If you are wronged, just tell me." Fang La laughed and pointed at everyone. road.

Ning Buhui smiled slightly and said: "You sirs, treat me well. I will choose the best place. Buhui is not an ignorant person. Now in the west of the city, I have entered the courtyard three times, and I live comfortably."

"Well, that's good, that's good." Fang La nodded, and then said to Lu Qinghou beside him: "How are your preparations, dear brother?"

Lu Qinghou cupped his hands and said, "Everything is ready. Please ask the Holy Duke to move to the Jinluan Hall."

"Haha, okay..." After Fang La finished speaking, everyone in front of him had already made way for him. Fang La walked up to the gate of Jinling City with his head held high and said: "The land of the three prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River must belong to Jinling City, which has such grandeur. …”

In the palace in the north of the city, everyone bowed three times and kowtowed. Lu Qinghou personally read out the edict, appointed hundreds of officials, announced to the world, and named the country Yongle, which meant that he would create a peaceful and prosperous era of eternal peace and happiness for the people of the world.

Fang La was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on a dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials on the stage, but his mood could not be calmed down for a long time. He thought that he walked out of Chengdu two years ago, crossed the southwest, and passed the Shu Road. Now everyone is following him all the way, loyally. Geng Geng suffered countless casualties, but their strength became stronger and stronger. After experiencing several narrow escapes, they achieved what they have today. The three prefectures and eighteen states were just the beginning. He still had many things to do next.

"To the Holy Duke, I have something to report to you." Marquis Lu Qing stepped out of the queue and raised his hands towards Fang La.

Fang La said: "Military advisor, please speak."

Lu Qinghou put down his hands and talked eloquently: "Now our army is at its peak, and the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River are under control. Since Manichae raised his troops, all the southeastern parts of the country have responded one after another. Everyone in the world has praised us. Now our capital is Jinling."

, all forces invested in

There are countless people who rely on me to teach. In addition to my own troops, another hundred thousand people have gathered in Jinling and walked out from the Qinhuai River through the canal. We should divide our troops into two groups, go north to Huainan Prefecture, and go west to Guangzhou and Shouzhou.

Just to be sure, please ask the Holy Duke to make a decision."

Fang La nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true, but now the land of the Three Prefectures has restricted a lot of our energy. We have just experienced a big war, captured Suzhou and Hangzhou, and sent troops directly. Most of the soldiers are tired, but the military advisor is a few percent."

Chances of winning?”

Lu Qinghou said: "The ancients said that if you make a big effort, then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. The soldiers will be tired, but they cannot slack off. Huainan Prefecture is an important road in the capital, a battleground for military strategists. The front line of Yangzhou Division is the Tiger and Wolf Division.

It won’t be a problem to capture Chuzhou, but then we can sit back and relax if we advance westward to Luzhou, become mutual horns, and defend Jinling.”

Fang La said: "What do you think?"

"What the military advisor said coincides with mine. Haha, I agree." Deng Yuanjue laughed and cupped his hands.

"I second the proposal..." the voices of hundreds of officials echoed in the hall.

Fang La laughed loudly and said: "Haha, okay, if the monarch and his ministers are of one mind and have good civil and military ethics, our Yongle Dynasty will definitely be able to destroy this day and replace it with a new one, haha..."

"Here, Si Xingfang will be the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition and will march north to Chuzhou. Shi Bao will be the Grand Marshal of the Westward Expedition. We will capture Luzhou and then make a decision." Fang La put his seal on the yellow paper and taught

The general went to deliver the order.

Everyone dispersed, but Ning Buhui, Deng Yuanjue and Lu Qinghou were left alone. They followed Fang La through the palace and arrived at Fang La's palace.

Entering the garden, it was a different scene. Even Ning Buhui lamented that this original prefect's mansion had such a place, which was even worse than Ningshan General's Mansion. It was used as a palace for the Holy Duke.

The palace couldn't be more suitable.

All the flowers in early spring had bloomed. The four of them walked to the pavilion. Fang La sat down and stood in three groups. However, they heard Fang La say: "There is no one else here. What do you think about Princess Changping?"

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to a freezing point. The three of them all thought that Fang La already knew about this matter, but bringing the three of them here fully demonstrated that this matter did not want to be brought to the table, but wanted to be resolved privately. After all, Ningbu regret is

The goddaughter’s attitude before entering the city was already obvious enough. The status of military advisor Lu Qinghou

Needless to say, Deng Yuanjue was one of the four marshals who rescued him from danger several times. Shi Bao and Si Xingfang were on the front line, while Li Tianding's brother Li Tianrun was at the rear, organizing the southeastern army and continuously transporting soldiers with food and grass to the front line.

Right now, in terms of status and reliance in the city, they are the three in front of me.

Ning Buhui knelt on the ground with a plop, clasped his fists and said, "I hope Shenggong will be punished. This matter is all Buhui's fault. If I hadn't fallen into Jiang Ning's trick, I wouldn't have ruined Shenggong's important event."

Lu Qinghou cupped his hands and said: "This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Master Ning. Although Princess Changping is just a female prostitute, she is proficient in power and is by no means an idle person. And as far as I know, Jiang Ning, as far as I know, first pretended to surrender and played hard to get.

Then use it for me to show your loyalty, build the plank road openly and secretly visit Chencang, and wear all the clothes

The scholar was angry and looked down upon death, but in the end he was a top master, and he was also proficient in firearms. The two conspired to kill six people in one night and escaped. After the accident, the owner of Ning Village came to me overnight to discuss countermeasures. The whole city was searched for three days, but these two people

As if it has evaporated, Marshal Deng also knows something about this."

Deng Yuanjue nodded and said: "That's the case. Jiang Ning once wrote a stunning work and was the number one talent in the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, he was a master. The owner of Ning Village was not experienced in the world, so he fell in love with him.
