At the celebration banquet, Zhu Gaoxu went crazy. He liked drinking. He drank heavily and led the girl to sing and dance. He didn't care about his image at all. He picked up Zhu Zhanxu and drank it down, because it was a triumphal wine. Zhu Zhanxu knew that he would not be able to do it.
He refused, so he simply picked up the bowl and had a drink with Zhu Gaoxu.
The city was bustling with activity. On the city wall, Su Wang Zhu Fanyan looked at the city with an expressionless face. There seemed to be subtle sounds of excitement in his ears, which dissipated in the wind.
The commander of the Shaanxi feudal lord, Ma Yang, came to his side. Tonight, they were the two of them switching defenses.
"Your Majesty, please go and rest. I will be on duty in the second half of the night."
"Uncle Ma, what do you think your Majesty will do next as a reward?"
"Your Majesty, the reward will not be small."
"I hope so."
Ma Yang saw his sorrow. After all, the two had a close relationship. Ma Yang reminded: "Your Majesty, the old prince moved inland because of Lord Jianwen's reduction of the vassal. Although your majesty has not allowed the old prince to resurrect now,
But after all, no harm was done. Your Majesty, you have now inherited the throne. For your own sake and for the sake of future generations, your Majesty will always remain grateful, both to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness."
Ma Yang was worried that Zhu Fanyan would hold a grudge because Zhu Di did not grant him the title. After all, he had not allowed him to inherit the throne for so many years, and the resentment in his heart was indeed not small.
Zhu Fanyan exhaled, and the water mist condensed in the cold wind, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of soft falling: "Uncle Ma, don't worry, I am not a ungrateful person. I am satisfied as I am today. Prince Han, Zhujiang County
Your Majesty, all the princes of Lanzhou County are like dragons and phoenixes among men, I have learned a lot from this trip."
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty now has a vast territory. The grasslands in the north and the Western Regions in the west have been included in the territory. Your Majesty must need many people to serve him. This is also a good time for you, Your Majesty, to show off your skills. Your Majesty, please remember that everything is as detailed as possible.
I would like to explain to Your Majesty that I would like to ask His Majesty more for instructions and not be like an old prince. Even if I beg for mercy, it is as if I want to be on an equal footing with Your Majesty."
Zhu Fanyan smiled knowingly: "Uncle Ma, I understand that the most important thing for a minister is to be loyal."
"A man as smart and capable as your prince will surely accomplish great things in the future."
"When it comes to intelligence and talent, the Prince of Pearl River County is the one I admire the most. With such a long supply line, he can always handle it in an orderly manner no matter what happens. Let's just say that tonight, the city is rejoicing. Uncle Ma, look at the people on the wall who are still on duty.
His closest student."
Zhu Zhanzhen was not the kind of person who would forget about everything because of a banquet. Many students from Huangpu Military University were arranged by him to stay on night watch on the city wall.
"His Royal Highness has a clear mind, an open-minded person, and outstanding talents. He is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people." Ma Yang also expressed his praise for Zhu Zhanyi.
…
Seven days later, a few people stabilized the current affairs, and then began to prepare for the return trip. If it was later, they might not be able to make it in time for the New Year.
Because there were two new chief secretaries, most of the troops were left behind. When we returned to Jiayuguan, we only had 50,000 troops behind us.
King Su stayed in Jiayuguan, while Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanzhen and Zhu Zhanqun continued their return journey.
When they arrived in Lanzhou, it was snowing heavily. Zhu Zhanzhen made a special trip to see Li Shang and gave her son a jade pendant as a gift. After all, Li Shang was Li Xiaozhu's sister.
It's just that she is very afraid of Zhu Zhancheng. Zhu Zhancheng is violent, and he either beats or scolds her. Fortunately, Zhu Zhanchun's concubine is not a troublemaker, she is just a noble lady with an arrogant temper. As long as she
There is nothing wrong with her defecating.
Moreover, she gave birth to a son. In this era, as long as you have a son, the mother is more valuable than the son. Generally speaking, her life is pretty good. Especially this year when Zhu Zhanquan was not at home, it was her happiest time.
Zhu Zhanzhen gave a fine jade pendant as a meeting gift to his nephew. The chubby little boy was very cute.
Li Shang and Li Hyo-joo are not much different in age, but their overall appearance is like that of women in their thirties, calm and somewhat flattering smiles.
Before leaving, Zhu Zhanyi looked back. Li Shang's eyes never seemed to leave his son. The same was true when talking to others. He even glanced at his son from the corner of his eye when pouring tea for Zhu Zhanyi. This
It is her hope in this life.
…
As they approached Shuntian Mansion, snowflakes fell all over the sky. The snow was as heavy as goose feathers, which made Alia happy: "Your Highness, it turns out that the snow in the Ming Dynasty Imperial City is like this. It is much gentler than the one over there."
"Then you haven't seen the snow in Jiangnan. That's called gentleness."
"Your Highness, can you take me to see him?"
Zhu Zhanzhen thought of life in Yingtian Mansion, and thought it would be more interesting and happy then, so he nodded: "When I have time, I will take you to see the snow in the Jiangnan water town."
Twenty miles outside Shuntian Mansion, there is a small temple. The red clothes stand out in the white snow. When he saw the returning army, the little face that was a little blushing in the cold wind and snow finally broke out into a smile.
.
"Your Highness, the princess is waiting for you in the temple ahead." Xiaosheng received the news from the front.
"Okay, drive on." Zhu Zhancheng rode his horse and whipped his horse, riding ahead to the small Buddhist temple in the wind and snow.
Chen Xinyue, dressed in red, stood at the gate of the temple, holding an umbrella and looking up at the man riding on the horse with a smile.
"Your Highness, please dismount quickly, the snow has fallen on your shoulders." Chen Xinyue's voice was gentle and graceful.
Zhu Zhanyi did not speak but stretched out his hand. Chen Xinyue took his hand for some unknown reason and felt a huge force coming from him. Zhu Zhanyi pulled him onto the back of the horse and they rode together.
"Your Highness?!" Chen Xinyue was a little panicked.
"Drive." Zhu Zhanyang urged the horse to run wildly, leading Chen Xinyue to gallop all the way.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to enter the city like this." Chen Xinyue's face turned red.
"I'm hugging my own wife, there's nothing wrong with it." The two of them were riding close to each other, and Chen Xinyue could already feel the foreign body sensation coming from behind as the horses ran behind her.
She enjoyed the feeling of being held in the arms of her beloved man and riding together, the horse galloping and riding freely.
When the horses arrived at the city gate, the guards immediately stepped forward to stop them when they saw the galloping horses.
"Who is coming? This is an important place in the capital, and no one is allowed to trespass."
Zhu Zhanzhen took out the token and marched westward to the Iron Army, but the Prince of Zhujiang County quickly got out of the way.
The guards looked at each other, but after seeing the token, they stepped aside.
Seeing the Prince of Zhujiang County flying away in the dust, several people murmured: "What's going on? Why is His Highness the Prince of Pearljiang County so anxious?"
"Maybe there is some important military information."
Zhu Zhanzhen, who was considered to have important military intelligence, finally reined in his horse and stopped in front of the mansion he purchased in Shuntian Mansion.
After getting off the horse with Chen Xinyue in her arms, Chen Xinyue asked: "What is your highness doing?"
"Looking at the moon in the daytime."
…
The Crown Princess and the Prince in the palace received the news, and the Crown Princess said in surprise: "What, the Prince of Pearl River County came back alone?"
"No, no, no, the Crown Princess, it was the county prince who rode into the city with the county princess and the two of them."
"Where?"
"Pearl River Villa, Your Highness is holding the princess in the street."
The old parents blushed, and Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly awkwardly: "It's normal for young people. After all, we have been away for so long, and a break is better than a wedding."
"I have to prepare some nourishing supplements to send to Xinyue. God bless me, I can have a grandson as soon as possible."
