Chapter 199: Lady Lv is shocked to see Zhu Wenxi!

At this moment!

Lan Yu was completely suppressing the unwillingness in his heart, and was even holding a few chances of luck to ask.

If it was just breaking the Northern Yuan Royal Court, this might be a victory of the Northern Expedition, but if the Yuan Emperor had fallen into Zhu Ying's hands, then the merit of this Northern Expedition would be completely settled.

This Northern Expedition battle would have been completely taken by Zhu Ying.

From the first battle of the Northern Expedition to break the city, to slashing the Northern Yuan's Grand General, Minister of War, and breaking the Yuan capital.

These battle merits added together were truly immeasurable.

With these battle merits, if he added the merit of capturing the Yuan Emperor, it would be unimaginable.

"Thank you for your concern, Marquis Yongchang."

"Our Champion Marquis's divine might broke the 300,000 Yuan army at Mount Langju, then chased and killed all the way to Buyuerhai, broke the Northern Yuan's temporary Royal Court again, and captured the Yuan Emperor and the Northern Yuan's hundred officials alive."

"This time, it is a great victory and return in triumph." Liu Lei said very proudly, and his voice was also very loud.

Hearing this.

Lan Yu didn't even have the last bit of luck, and his face was ugly.

And seeing this, Liu Lei sneered in his heart.

Among the generals under Zhu Ying, who didn't know that the Huaixi generals led by Lan Yu had always been crazily targeting their General? Although they were all Great Ming warriors, their relationship was extremely poor.

The reason Liu Lei was so loud this time was naturally intentional.

Being able to make Lan Yu so angry could be considered as getting revenge for his General.

"Chang Mao."

Lan Yu said in a deep voice.

"General." Chang Mao immediately responded.

"Order the army to turn direction and return south in triumph." Lan Yu's voice was extremely cold, as if he was suppressing it.

"Yes." Chang Mao responded loudly.

If it was said that Lan Yu's order to withdraw the army before was because there was no other way, after all, the food was already insufficient, but now it was a must to return.

The Northern Yuan Royal Court had been broken, and the Yuan Emperor had been captured. What else could they do by going north?

This time, wanting to compete for the final merit of destroying the Yuan, it turned into a joke and became a foil for Zhu Ying.

"Marquis Yongchang."

"Our Daning border army is behind, do you want to travel together and return to the Great Ming in triumph?" Liu Lei asked with a smile, looking as if he was "sincerely" inviting.

"No need."

Lan Yu said coldly and turned his horse's head directly.

Subsequently.

He directly led the army toward the south.

He didn't even want to pay attention to Liu Lei.

"Don't be too proud."

Chang Mao said coldly and also turned his horse's head, leaving with the army.

Watching this withdrawing army, Liu Lei laughed.

"Hahaha."

"Too satisfying."

"This time, we finally made Lan Yu and the others eat dirt."

After watching Lan Yu and the others go far away, Liu Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

And the personal guards beside Liu Lei also laughed one after another, each one incomparably happy.

Among them were personal guards who had followed Zhu Ying since he became a Garrison Commander. Naturally, they knew the grievances between their master and the Huaixi generals. Now that they had slapped Lan Yu and the others in the face with such pride, how could they not be happy?

And where Lan Yu's army was.

Lan Yu galloped, as if wanting to stay away from Zhu Ying.

"Uncle."

"Too hateful, too angry."

"That bastard Zhu Ying actually sent his personal guards to humiliate us."

"I really can't swallow this breath." Chang Mao said angrily while galloping.

"If you are not as good as others, what else can we do?"

"Could it be that we can directly move against him?"

"There are accompanying Guard Commanders and Guard Commanders in the army, and even Embroidered Uniform Guards. As long as you dare to move, the next time it will be all of us being punished by the Emperor." Lan Yu said coldly. Even if there was hatred and humiliation, he was also helpless.

Could only hold it in.

"Zhu Ying."

"Sooner or later, I will teach him a lesson." Chang Mao could only curse secretly.

Gaze turned back.

When Liu Lei led the personal guards back to the military formation.

"General."

"Lan Yu and the others have withdrawn and returned south."

"The subordinate also kindly invited them to travel together, but Lan Yu was very unhappy."

Once back.

Liu Lei reported to Zhu Ying respectfully with a smile.

"If they don't want to, then don't."

"Anyway, the news has been delivered." Zhu Ying replied very calmly.

As for Lan Yu's attitude, whether it was hatred or unwillingness, Zhu Ying didn't care.

Anyway, the battle merits had already been taken.

The accompanying commanders had all recorded it.

These solid battle results would not be fake.

"Since they moved first."

"Then give them time to go back."

"Pass the order down, the Yuan Emperor will rest for an hour, eat and drink enough, and after an hour, return south in triumph." Zhu Ying ordered immediately.

"We will strictly follow the General's order."

The soldiers responded in unison.

Then they dismounted one after another and rested in place.

Ying Tianfu!

Inside the Wenyuan Pavilion!

"Has there been no news from the northern frontier yet?" Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, looking at Tang Duo before him with concern.

"Returning to the Emperor."

"The news has not been sent back yet."

"It has been nearly three months since the Northern Expedition army killed into the foreign land of the northern frontier."

"Presumably, battle results have been achieved, but because the northern frontier is vast and news is blocked, it is difficult to send the news back." Tang Duo immediately replied respectfully.

"Three months."

"It's been so long."

"Without news for so long, I am truly uneasy." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a face full of worry.

And Zhu Biao beside him smiled upon seeing this: "Father, no need to worry. This time, the Great Ming penetrated deep into the northern frontier not with infantry, but with 100,000 cavalry, and they were also well-prepared. Whether it is the Champion Marquis or the Marquis Yongchang, they are both good fighting generals. I believe they will definitely be able to achieve results and return in triumph."

"Before long, good news will definitely come."

Hearing this.

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded: "I hope so!"

"After all, it is the northern frontier land, a place where our Chinese dynasties have suffered countless defeats. In that foreign land of bitter cold, I am not worried about the combat power of our Great Ming soldiers, but I am worried that they have lost their way."

Tang Duo immediately said: "Emperor! The Northern Expedition army achieved generous results in less than a year, driving the Northern Yuan completely out of our Chinese homeland. This time, I believe they will definitely be able to succeed perfectly."

Regarding this.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and didn't say much more, but said: "Pass my decree, you Ministry of War keep a close eye on it, and once there is news from the northern frontier, report it to me immediately."

"The minister accepts the decree." Tang Duo said immediately.

"Alright, you may withdraw." After Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order, he waved his hand.

"The minister withdraws." Tang Duo didn't dare to stay in this Wenyuan Pavilion for long, bowed, and then quickly exited the hall.

Once he left.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Biao'er, you say when will there be news."

"In that northern frontier place, although our Great Ming's 100,000 cavalry are many, they are ultimately in a foreign land. Once lost, there is a danger of annihilation."

"Without news for a day, I am not at ease for a day."

"If I lose these 100,000 troops, then I have harmed you."

The words reached here.

Clearly.

What Zhu Yuanzhang was most worried about was that his decision would affect his son. After all, these 100,000 troops were the strongest and fiercest soldiers of the Great Ming. If they were really left in the northern frontier, it would be a huge loss for Zhu Biao.

"Father."

"Don't think wildly."

"The Grand General will not let you down, especially the Champion Marquis, he will not let you down even more."

Watching his father like this, Zhu Biao could only smile and persuade him.

After all, they were in the capital, in the temple, no matter how concerned they were, they were beyond reach in the northern frontier and could only wait for news.

Just then!

"Report."

"Reporting to the Emperor."

"The Champion Marquis's wife, and the little Young Master Wenxi have arrived outside the hall."

Yun Qi walked slowly into the hall and said respectfully.

"It seems they arrived early today." Zhu Biao was stunned, then said with a smile.

"After all, it's the first time participating in our imperial family banquet, I don't know when to enter the hall."

"They're here, so they're here."

"I heard that the little guy is amazing now, he knows many characters, just right to see my adopted great-grandson." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said with a smile.

Zhu Biao nodded and immediately said to Yun Qi: "Proclaim!"

Responding.

Yun Qi shouted to the outside of the hall: "The Champion Marquis's wife enters the hall for an audience."

As his voice fell.

Only to see Shen Yuer, wearing the official wife's clothing, leading Zhu Wenxi, who was already over a year old, walking into the hall.

A few more months had passed, and Zhu Wenxi naturally grew a bit taller.

And in these few months, Shen Yuer had already found several teachers for her son.

Literacy.

Learning literature.

Learning etiquette.

All kinds of teachers had been found for him.

Looking at Zhu Wenxi, although young, he walked steadily and was truly carrying a noble aura. It was conceivable that he had indeed learned some things in these few months.

"The minister's wife pays respects to the Emperor, pays respects to the Crown Prince."

After entering the hall.

Shen Yuer immediately bowed and saluted, very respectfully.

And beside.

Zhu Wenxi didn't need his mother to speak.

Immediately knelt down respectfully and shouted with a childish voice: "Great-grandson pays respects to the Imperial Great-grandfather!"

Then he said to Zhu Biao: "Sun Er pays respects to the Lord Grandfather."

Now Zhu Xi was already Zhu Wenxi, adopted as an adopted grandson by Zhu Biao, naturally calling Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao like the descendants of the imperial family.

"Haha."

"Rise, no need for formalities."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and immediately raised his hand.

"Thank you, Emperor, thank you, Crown Prince." Shen Yuer thanked.

Zhu Wenxi naturally thanked immediately: "Thank you, Great-grandfather, thank you, Grandfather."

After they stood up.

The gazes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao immediately fell on Zhu Wenxi, all carrying praise and gratification.

"Xi'er, not bad."

"Every time I see you, you are different, more sensible, and more knowledgeable about etiquette." Zhu Yuanzhang praised with a smile.

"Father."

"The teacher who teaches Xi'er is also extraordinary." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Oh."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly surprised, then asked with a smile: "To be called extraordinary by you, Biao'er, I am curious who Xi'er's teacher is?"

"Kong Yi." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Hearing this name.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately lit up, then he smiled knowingly: "It's him."

"The fifty-seventh generation of the Southern Kong, I still remember you summoned him as an official, Biao'er, but he didn't follow. Why is he willing to be Xi'er's teacher now?"

"This seems inconsistent with this Kong Yi's personality."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to remember this, Father."

"This Kong Yi has talent and virtue, and even more blood."

"Back then, a sentence of not being loyal to the Yansheng Duke in the court, being of the same clan, ashamed to be with them, this shook the entire Ying Tian City."

Recalling this Kong Yi, Zhu Biao said with great emotion.

You know.

Since the Song Dynasty moved south.

Kong!

Was divided into two families, the Northern Kong and the Southern Kong.

Those recorded in wild history as having blood, coexisting with the country, and dying with the monarch, were the Southern Kong.

And the one who inherited the Yansheng Duke in the Hongwu court now was the one in the north.

The dispute between these two Kongs naturally caused a lot of excitement, and also made many people disdain the one in the court.

"Yu'er."

"How did you invite this Kong Yi to be Xi'er's teacher?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"Returning to the Emperor."

"It's a coincidence, Mr. Kong Yi likes wine, and the wine brewed by our family suits his taste better. He teaches Xi'er without taking a penny, just needing a pot of the best wine every day."

"And... he said he has admired my husband for a long time, and being able to teach Xi'er for my husband is his honor." Shen Yuer didn't dare to hide anything and immediately told everything.

How she invited this Southern Kong descendant who had blood and pride, and how she made him willing to teach Zhu Wenxi.

Hearing this.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily: "Not bad!"

"Xi'er is not bad."

"This Kong Yi is also not bad."

"In time, Xi'er will definitely become a great talent."

Receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's praise.

Zhu Wenxi immediately bowed: "Thank you, Imperial Great-grandfather, for the praise."

"Xi'er."

"It's only been a few months, you have become so sensible and knowledgeable about etiquette, your teacher has really put in the effort."

"However, in front of Grandfather, no need for too many formalities, Grandfather still likes the way you are active." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Hearing this.

Zhu Wenxi's eyes lit up, and then he immediately smiled: "Grandfather, this is what you said."

Saying this.

Zhu Wenxi immediately stopped being stiff, ran toward Zhu Biao, and jumped up.

Zhu Biao smiled and picked him up.

"I knew you kid was pretending."

Looking at Zhu Wenxi in his arms, Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh.

Zhu Yuanzhang beside him was also the same, full of smiles.

And Shen Yuer lowered her head, covering her mouth and laughing.

"Grandfather."

"The teacher is too strict, making me walk with rules and etiquette, speak with rules and etiquette, I can only be like that."

"Who told him to be the teacher." Zhu Wenxi also said helplessly.

"Haha."

Regarding this, Zhu Biao smiled kindly.

Just then!

"Emperor."

"The Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lv, is waiting outside the hall with the young masters."

Yun Qi came to the hall again and reported respectfully.

"It seems they all arrived early today."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and smiled, then said with emotion: "That's good, I haven't seen Yun Tong for a long time."

Hearing Yun Tong.

Zhu Biao's face sank slightly, as if he couldn't show it in front of his father.

"Proclaim." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Shen Yuer stood to the side.

The Crown Prince's concubine arrived, Shen Yuer was naturally very curious, after all, she had never seen her.

At this time!

Lady Lv walked in front.

Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yun Tong, and Lady Lv's two sons followed to the side, walking slowly into the hall.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to Father."

Once Lady Lv entered the hall, she knelt down and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully.

"Sun Er pays respects to the Imperial Grandfather."

Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yun Tong, and the four of them also knelt down and saluted.

And Zhu Yunwen's voice was the loudest, performing very loudly and properly.

For Lady Lv calling herself "daughter-in-law," looking at Zhu Biao on the side, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, just raised his hand: "Rise."

"Thank you, Father." Lady Lv thanked immediately.

"Thank you, Imperial Grandfather."

Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yun Tong, and the four of them thanked immediately.

But at this time!

When Lady Lv raised her head, her peripheral vision swept, and her gaze fell on the young child in Zhu Biao's arms, her eyes widened, completely shocked!
