First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 20 Triumph



At the end of 1363, Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to return triumphantly. The predecessors of Wu Guogong's mansion were like a tide, and countless people were eagerly waiting.

Zhu Biao led two older younger brothers to stand in front of the Duke's mansion to entertain them. After a while, several cavalry came galloping, and Ying Tianfu forbade riding on horses.

The only ones who can do this are military scouts who follow military orders.

When those cavalrymen saw Zhu Biao, they got off their horses and saluted with fists cupped.

The lord has an order! Let the last general invite the eldest son to go outside the city to welcome the army's triumphant return!

Someone at the side recognized that the leader was Chang Yuchun, the most popular general under Zhu Yuanzhang's command!

Even though he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang valued his eldest son, he never established a son as a prince, and he still wondered whether Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like the eldest son's being too refined, but now he dared not think so.

Inviting the eldest son to meet the army outside the city is a way of expressing his attitude, but he actually asked his confidant general to come to escort him in person...

Everyone looked at the elegant young man with more kind eyes, even though there was no ups and downs on his face when he heard such a good thing, he still had a warm smile on his face.

Xiao Zhu was naturally happy in his heart, but he couldn't show his happiness any more. He bowed his hands to Chang Yuchun and said, Okay, I'll follow General Chang to meet the triumphant return of the army.

He directed behind him: Go and report to mother, just say that I will go outside the city to meet you first.

Chang Yuchun also smiled and looked at the handsome and gentle young man in front of him, the master trusted him to pick up the eldest son, and the more he was under the master's command, the more he knew the position of the eldest son in the master's heart.

Then please, my lord, ride with the general. Chang Yuchun personally helped Xiao Zhu onto the horse.

This was the first time he rode a horse in his life, and he could feel the muscles of the horse under his crotch rising and falling. Everyone on the wide road in front of him was far away, which made the smile on Xiao Zhu's face even brighter.

Chang Shiwan's hard armor can be felt behind him, and the inexplicable sense of security allows him to enjoy this rare happiness to the fullest.

No one spoke along the way, and the relationship between the two of them had already been established. It would be foolish to say anything more at this time.

Not long after, they arrived outside Yingtian City, and the civil servants headed by Li Shanchang had already been waiting here. Seeing Chang Yuchun rushing forward with a young man, these smart people were full of thoughts.

Chang Yuchun dismounted first, then stretched out his hand to help Xiao Zhu down, and then followed Zhu Biao silently with his right hand on the handle of the knife.

Xiao Zhu did not rush up to talk to the civil servants, but first adjusted her posture, stretched out her hand to stroke her hair behind her head, and then fixed it with a gold ring.

At this time, Li Shanchang led the crowd to come over and bowed to salute, and said in unison: I will pay my respects to the eldest son.

Zhu Biao replied politely, I've seen you all.

Then he walked to the front naturally, looked into the distance and quietly waited for the figure of the army.

Those civil servants also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to express his opinion, but if he was not crowned prince for a day, these civil servants should not have any contact with the sons of Zhu Yuanzhang's house at will.

Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he would definitely not be willing to kill his son, but there is nothing reluctant to kill them.

Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others naturally knew Xiao Zhu's status, but Zhu Yuanzhang was at the peak of his age, and these top civil servants and schemers naturally didn't want to get too close to Xiao Zhu.

Student Xiao Zhu naturally knows this. It is completely unnecessary to play corporals now, and it will only make these people think that he is just a nerd and has no city at all.

Li Shanchang glanced at Chang Yuchun behind Xiao Zhu and thought, It is said that Chang Shiwan is brave and foolhardy, this time he did the right thing.

Now the two strongest commanders under my lord's command are nothing more than Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

Now my lord specially sends Chang Yuchun here to pick up the eldest son, that is to cultivate the relationship between the eldest son and Chang Yuchun on purpose, so that the eldest son will have something to rely on in the army in the future.

It seems that the eldest son's position is really unbreakable...

Some civil servants were silently thinking about how to approach the eldest son in a low-key manner, and it would be best to let their sons serve in front of the eldest son!

When the lord comes back, I will prepare to invite the eldest son to be a favor to the eldest son.

Xiao Zhu was playing with the suet jade Guanyin with her right hand, standing straight in front of everyone, feeling the gaze from behind her from time to time, with a bright smile on her face.
