Important Ministers and Relatives

Mu Ying, who is forty-five years old, is in the prime of life. As Lao Zhu's most reliable and promising adopted son, Mu Ying has a dignified appearance. With a serious face, he has the demeanor of an important court official.

But at this moment, Mu Ying could not help but feel excited, and she felt the emperor's grace from the bottom of her heart.

He was born in poverty and was homeless since childhood. He was adopted by Lao Zhu and Queen Ma when he was eight years old. At the age of twelve, he went on an expedition and began his military career. Lao Zhu and his wife treated him like their own child. They not only taught him how to read and read, but also taught him how to read and write.

He also taught him how to lead troops in war, trusting him almost unreservedly and entrusting him with important tasks.

Although he has returned to his true nature at this moment, Mu Ying has never forgotten the kindness of Lao Zhu and his wife. He is even more proud of the crown prince and his grandson who also regard him as a relative.

Mu Ying did not feel too proud when she returned to the capital this time to report her duties and offer prisoners, because those barbarians were out of place. Mu Ying, who had seen too many storms and waves, did not feel that this was a great achievement worth bragging about.

But he already knew the news, and the emperor's grandson led his peers thirty miles out of the city to greet him, greeting him with the courtesy of the country and the clan!

To say that she was scared, it was a little bit frightening. After all, Mu Ying felt that this was a bit too polite. But more importantly, she was proud and excited!

Not only Mu Ying felt excited, Mu Chun also felt excited at this time. He led some carefully selected elite soldiers as the vanguard and led the army to march slowly.

"Your Majesty Muchun pays homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, Your Highness Qianqiu!"

At least Muchun stood out from the crowd as a young hero with extraordinary bearing and dignified appearance, which also made Zhu Xiongying feel happier.

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly and then said, "Cousin, please get back on your feet."

When Zhu Xiongying coughed, Zhu Yunxi took half a step forward and was half a body behind Zhu Xiongying. He bowed first and said, "My cousin guarded the border for the country. Now that my cousin has returned with success, I congratulate my cousin for his great contribution."

"

At this time, Zhu Yunwen and other three generations of emperors also bowed in unison, "Brother, congratulations to my cousin!"

Muchun, who was already flat, quickly knelt down, "I don't dare, I'm afraid!"

Zhu Xiongying laughed and said, "Cousin, please don't see anyone outside. We are all a family, so don't use any false etiquette."

Zhu Yunxi also stepped forward at this time and helped Muchun up, "Originally, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War said that military salutes are the main one, but the emperor doesn't like that. My cousins ​​are my Zhu family, how can we give military salutes as the main one!

"

At this time, Mu Chun was a little frightened, and was so happy that he couldn't help himself. The royal family was so kind, and Mu Chun also felt his blood rising. He felt that the Mu family must live up to the emperor's kindness and rule Yunnan forever.

At this time, a mighty army appeared, and Mu Ying began to urge the horse to speed up. Zhu Xiongying immediately quickened his pace, and Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunwen and other three generations of emperors also hurriedly followed.

Fu Rang and others hurriedly followed. In fact, everyone now knows what kind of drama may be coming next. But these things can only be done by the emperor's grandson, and only Mu Ying can do them. Others

People must not steal the limelight from this wonderful show of the monarch and his ministers getting along well with each other.

Seeing the Emperor Taisun walking forward quickly, Mu Ying immediately jumped off the horse and knelt down from a distance, "My lord, Mu Ying, kowtow to Your Highness the Emperor Taisun, Your Highness Qianqiu!"

When Mu Ying jumped off the horse, Zhu Xiongying started to trot without caring about his manners, grabbing Mu Chun's arm with both hands, "Cousin, how can you let your nephew have the face to see the world like this!"

"Your Highness, the etiquette must not be discarded!" Mu Ying was so excited that she couldn't stand up. "The emperor's favor is so great that I dare not accept it!"

Zhu Xiongying turned around and shouted, "Why are you still standing and not helping my cousin up?!"

Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunzhen all ran over and pulled up the grateful Mu Ying. They all called her "cousin" and treated each other with the courtesy of relatives.

This also made many civil and military nobles who followed him jealous. Although Mu Ying is only a marquis now, but with the emperor, prince and grandson treating her so courteously, who dares to really treat Mu Ying as a marquis? Even some princes,

There is no such treatment.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mu Ying is now the number one marquis. Even some princes do not dare to touch Qiao in front of Mu Ying.

Zhu Xiongying didn't know how to lead Mu Ying's horse, but the second child, Zhu Yunwen, led Mu Ying's horse, which was no problem. As for Zhu Xiongying, he rode the horse and rode alongside Mu Ying. But Mu Ying was very measured and deliberately lagged behind Zhu

Half the stature of a hero.

"Grandpa Huang was very happy to receive a report from my cousin a few days ago." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang and my father have been urging people to watch the inn these two days, thinking that they can see my cousin as soon as possible.

.”

Mu Ying was so moved that she raised her hands and said, "Your Majesty and His Highness are so kind to me, I am terrified!"

"Cousin, we are a family, so why bother talking about false etiquette." Zhu Xiongying laughed, and then said, "From now on, if we get closer, my cousin will become my brother-in-law."

Mu Ying's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "I take the liberty of taking the liberty, but are you the Princess of Jiangdu?"

Seeing Zhu Xiongying nod, Mu Ying was even more happy. This was the crown prince's eldest daughter, and even on the border of Yunnan, Mu Ying had heard that the crown prince valued the two princesses the most.

It's hard to say whether this was Mu Ying's most glorious moment, but he knew that the royal family's kindness to him could not be greater.

The Crown Prince led his brothers thirty miles out of the city to greet him, and the Crown Prince greeted him at the city gate. After Mu Ying paid homage in the main hall, she was immediately dragged to the side hall by Lao Zhu, which was completely a family gift.

Lao Zhu looked at Mu Ying and said excitedly, "Wenying, we are happy to see you are so promising, and your adoptive mother is also very happy to come. Tomorrow you will go with Ying'er to pay homage to your adoptive mother, so that Mu Chun can also

Go, let her see this grandson-in-law."

Mu Ying immediately felt sad and said, "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you, my lord."

Da Zhu stood up at this time and said, "Don't be sad, cousin. Mother likes to see her children and grandchildren prosper. Now that my cousin has made great achievements and Chun'er is also a young hero, mother doesn't know how happy she should be. Originally I wanted to

I want to rest for two days before going, but I just don’t think my cousin will be happy if I come.”

Mu Ying started to cry, she was heartbroken, "I am ashamed, Your Highness the Queen."

Lao Zhu was unhappy and patted the table, "Wenying, if you are so intrusive, your mother will not be happy!"

Mu Ying cried loudly, and there was nothing rude about it, "Dad, the child is unfilial. After the mother passes away, the child will be filial in the future. He has been running around all these years, but he has not been able to place more incense sticks in front of the mother's mausoleum. The child is not a son of man."

Lao Zhu was also quite sad, but he just said immediately, "Don't say this, you are fighting everywhere under our orders. Your mother is happy to see that you are so promising and loyal to the country. We know that our sister

, she just likes to see you succeed!"

Whether this time can be considered as transcending the Passover rites, in some places it is indeed beyond the Passover rites, but there are some things that I can’t say more about.

Not only was it built in the early Ming Dynasty, but many etiquette systems were still incomplete. The most important thing is Lao Zhu’s attitude.

In fact, many ministers have reported it. For example, the prince's uniform is the same as that of the prince. This is something that has never happened in the past dynasties. But Lao Zhu just doesn't plan to change it. Even if Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu have said it, Lao Zhu still doesn't plan to change it.

change.

Or verbally praise the minister who submitted the report, saying that he would consider it or that he had not considered it before, but then he ignored the matter and continued to delay it.

Da Zhu is definitely his biological son, but the other sons are also his biological sons! The throne will belong to Da Zhu from now on, so the other sons can wear the same crown and clothes as the crown prince, which is a little more satisfying, and at least looks good.

There was nothing Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu could do about Lao Zhu's thoughts. Even though the treatment that the father and son received was incomparable to that of other princes and princes combined, but to be honest, Lao Zhu had no regard for the other princes.

Sun is not bad either.

Zhu Xiongying was in a good mood. This time he returned to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. He didn't seem to do much, but he did a little bit.

As for the next step, naturally, just after the New Year, he will start preparing to go to Beiping Mansion again. There are still many things to deal with there, and he still has many things to do.

And this new year, which is the 23rd year of Hongwu, may have a lot of changes under the influence of Zhu Xiongying, which will be quite different from some things in history.
