    No matter how hard the emperor tries, the resistance from the people will not be too great. The scholar class has been exhausted by the anti-corruption campaign and has no energy to do anything. Although the civil and military officials are puzzled, most of them are  The newcomers who started following Yuan Feng had little to do with the Han Dynasty twenty-five years ago. Not to mention Yuan Feng changing his surname to Zhu, they also agreed to change it to a foreign name and would not object.  As for the ordinary people, it is easier to deal with it. Just make up some stories that they can accept. The new emperor is exempt from taxes, drives out the Tartars, rectifies the government, and loves the people like a son. It is too late for them to support them.  Well, how could he discuss matters in the court?  Of course, it is not excluded that some idle and sour scholars chatted about this matter in teahouses and restaurants. Today's imperial court is not the old Zhou Dynasty that strictly prohibited discussion of government affairs and guarded the people more than guarding Sichuan. Not only did they not wear casual clothes  There were spies among the tea guests, and there were not even small notes asking Mo to talk about state affairs.  The sour men commented that although the emperor was the prince of the previous dynasty, he was completely self-made and did not rely on any resources of the previous emperor. He almost single-handedly conquered the country of Zhou Dynasty. He can be regarded as the founding hero of the country and he did not even try to create a new dynasty.  No.  Some people also mysteriously said that in fact, the emperor was not the orphan of Emperor Wu's grandfather at all, but was just trying to make a tiger skin. Otherwise, how could he accept the former Queen of the Southern Han Dynasty, Xia Qinxin, as his concubine? But this is not the case.  What, don't care whether he is a fake prince or a real civet cat, he is the real thing who can conquer the world anyway.  Whether for support or opposition, Yuan Feng, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was firmly seated. After discussion among the ministers, the reign name was determined to be Hongwu. In July of this year, the emperor officially ascended the throne in Nanjing.  On the day he ascended the throne, a grand prisoner presentation and military parade ceremony was held in the renovated Ancestral Temple Square. This time, the genuine Mongol Khan was escorted to the Ancestral Temple. Fifty thousand soldiers who had experienced countless wars passed through the square with great courage.  The earthquake shocked the envoys from various countries who came to watch the ceremony and pay their respects.  Mongolia surrendered, Korea surrendered, and Japan surrendered. Annan, Siam, Ryukyu, Java and other small Southeast Asian states all paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and sent princes and ministers to the capital. The Ming Dynasty seemed to have become a celestial kingdom.  The only empire that could keep pace with the Ming Dynasty was the Chagatai Empire that spanned Europe and Asia, inherited the legacy of Timur's empire, and had its capital at Alam Khan. Their great khan was the sworn brother of Yuan Feng, and the oldest of the Thirteen Taibao.  Key, but now it has been renamed the Black Fire One.  The remnant forces of Timur, led by Prince Miran Shah, went south to the Indian subcontinent and established the Mughal Dynasty, which was also a dominant empire. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Chu Jian also sent envoys and presented precious and heavy gifts.  And they became friends with the Ming Dynasty, and they maintained friendship from generation to generation and never conquered.  The Mughal Empire is too far away because it is thousands of miles away. It may not be until next year that the news is received, so there is no official statement yet.  The emperor has already taken in two concubines, the eldest princess of Xixia, Li Mingxue, and the Qiang king, Hermione. The emperor has made proper arrangements for these two political marriages. Li Mingxue's son will be crowned the king of Ningxia and vassal Yinchuan to guard the northwest. Hermione  His son will inherit the throne of Qiang King. In a few years, these two foreign lands will become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.  As for the Uszang Kingdom, after the defeat, it completely surrendered. The Yuan was honored as Manjushri Bodhisattva. Every household had to hang a statue of the emperor. The King of Uszang was deposed. The living Buddha in the Potala Palace commanded the entire Tibet and was selected through the method of reincarnated soul boys.  The successor must go through the drawing of lots from the golden urn hosted by the Ming Dynasty court to obtain legal status.  The world was at peace, all nations surrendered, the city of Nanjing was filled with flowers, and people wearing exotic costumes abounded. The people of the Ming Dynasty deeply felt the pride of the people of the heaven, and this grand prisoner presentation, military parade, and enthronement ceremony made them even more proud.  I felt very excited and felt a sense of national pride.  At the same time, the imperial court also granted amnesty to the whole country. Except for corrupt officials and serious criminal offenders, ordinary criminals who had committed petty crimes, fought, committed adultery, cheated and abducted people were released home. Countless families were reunited and were grateful to the emperor.  "The emperor also granted more Enke scholarships. The number of students admitted was 30% more than before, and the path for scholars to advance to the next level was wider. How could you not be grateful for the emperor's grace?   On the viewing platform of the ceremony, there was a group of special guests. These people were all wearing brand-new sheepskin coats and had red faces. They looked like they were from the northwest. Among them were Zhao Ding'an's father, the blacksmith Zhao, and Wang Xiao.  Ga's grandma, Lin Lianjiang's father Lin Xiucai, Zhang Tietou's mother, Chu Mujie and his wife, in short, all the folks from Shibalibao all came over from Xiliang. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of the Imperial Guard, Emperor Hongwu¡¯s Imperial Guard was on duty. This Imperial Guard was not selected from the Forbidden Army, nor were they descendants of officials, but were all Roman infantrymen who had moved from Liqian. ?? Brass armor, bright red feathers, giant shield and javelin, tall body, resolute eyes, exoticWith a loving face, with such a guard from a foreign land, there is no need to worry about loyalty and betrayal.  The commander of the Royal Guards, the young Roman officer Antony, looked at the emperor on the auditorium with admiration. The young man was not a few years older than himself. In just a few years, he dominated the entire Central Plains. This achievement is worthy of the respect of any man.  Seeing the golden girl next to the emperor again, Anthony felt relieved. His sister finally found her home and became the emperor's concubine. She no longer had to follow the tradition of the Liqian people to be a singer. And men like them, who licked blood with their sword heads, also  He no longer has to be a mercenary, but has become a full-time emperor's guard, with majesty and good treatment. At this moment, besides being grateful and excited, what else can he say.  Since the villagers arrived in the capital, they have been immersed in excitement. Originally, when Yuan Feng became king in Xiliang, they were a little confused about happiness. Now that he has become the emperor of the Central Plains, everyone is even more fascinated.  "This is the capital. If you come here once in your life, you will die in peace." Lin Xiucai said with emotion.  "Why are you dead? Now that Brother Feng has become the emperor, we will live in the capital and not leave. It is better to go to the south of the Yangtze River than to Aram Khan, the unfilial son of Chu Jian. He has sent people to pick me up several times. I  I¡¯m not even going.¡± Chu Muzu was still very knowledgeable and calm.  "You still call me Brother Feng. This baby is now a Long Live Lord. We have to kneel down and worship when we see him. Tsk tsk. In fact, I have seen it for a long time. This boy has not been a mortal since he was a child. He can kill big horse thieves at the age of fifteen. His hands are all  If you don't tremble, how can you be an ordinary person? The real dragon emperor descends to the mortal world!" Blacksmith Zhao clicked his tongue in admiration.  "Brother Zhao, you have so much knowledge, tell me what the emperor eats and does on a daily basis?" "You still can't think of it? It must be fried buns every day. The empress always uses gold kitchen knives and silver fences to cook."   "Oh, it's a pity that Hu Laizi died early and can't see these anymore, and that girl, the dumb girl, was originally destined to be a queen" I don't know which fellow countryman said this, but the wind blew it into Yuan Feng's ears  Here, he thought, yes, Aunt Dumb doesn't know what's going on now.  A long time ago, I asked the Military Commander to take care of the mute aunt and his wife. As things happened, I gradually forgot about it. Later, when the Jiangnan war broke out, the Military Commander was busy with affairs, and then it was disbanded. No one has taken care of this matter anymore. I think it has been two years.  There is no news about the mute aunt.   After he ascended the throne, the emperor officially accepted Xia Qinxin, Cao Xiu, and Yulia as his concubines. Only Liu Ying'er still refused to marry into the palace, and Yuan Feng did not force her. Anyway, everyone in the world knew that Liu Ying'er was the emperor.  No matter how much she flies, she will never be able to fly out of Wuzhishan.  After the ceremony was completed, Xia Qin, who could no longer hide it and had achieved her wish, told Yuan Feng hesitantly that the person in Yuetang Village, Yangzhou Prefecture that night was not actually herself.  Yuan Feng was struck by lightning and was speechless for a long time, but he finally did not blame Xia Qinxin.   Jiangbei, Yuetang Village, Yangzhou Prefecture, the weather in August is scorching hot, and a woman is sweating profusely while hoeing weeds in the field. Under the shade of a tree beside the field, a baby less than two years old is sitting in a cradle.  Yiyi is learning to talk, a big yellow dog is lying on the side with its tongue hanging out to enjoy the coolness, and the cicadas on the tree are chirping non-stop. It is really unbearably hot today.  After a while, three children of different heights ran over from a distance. The two older ones were carrying schoolbags sewn with calico fabrics, and the youngest was only four or five years old and still naked.  The three children ran to the edge of the field. The older two called Auntie, and the younger one called Mother with a sweet voice. They called the woman working in the field to eat. The woman wiped her sweat and came to the shade of the tree.  I took out the coarse grains and ate them with pickles and water. The yellow dog shook its head and tail and waited eagerly, but no one was full, and there was no extra food to feed it.  "Auntie." The eldest girl hesitated and hesitated to speak. The woman tore open her portion of the thick flour pancake and distributed it to the two smaller boys. Then she asked: "Da Ya, what's the matter?"  "The husband saidyou don't have to go to school after this month. Our family only contributes one share of the money, but we send two children to school. The husband said this is inappropriate." The woman bit her lip and said after a long time: "Auntie understands.  Let¡¯s find a solution after your uncle comes back from Wang¡¯s wife¡¯s house.¡± The girl added, ¡°The teacher also said that girls are losers and have no use in going to schoolit¡¯s betterit¡¯s better to get married early.¡±  As she looked up, the girl's eye circles turned red: "Aunt, I won't go to school anymore. I'll go home and help you work." The woman sighed: "What are you talking about, stupid kid? How can you do it without studying." It was at this moment.  , the little baby in the cradle started crying, and the woman quickly picked him up, rocked him, and coaxed him: "Biao'er, don't cry."   The family was eating when they suddenly saw a local security guard running over, shouting from afar: "Wang Huaizhong's family, come back to the village quickly, something big is going on!" The woman was startled, and the pancake in her hand almost fell to the ground, trembling.  He said, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Huaizhong?" The land security guard ran up to him and said out of breath, "No it's someone from the county government wants to see you."  The woman was even more surprised: "Why did the county master find me, a woman?" "I don't know, go back quickly." The woman quickly tied the child on her back and hurried home with the other three children. The big yellow dog  Immediately afterwards, the family passed through a small pond and a willow forest. In front of them was Yuetang Village. At the entrance of the village, eight sedans and hundreds of mules and horses were parked. People wearing red official clothes and white soles and black boots were sitting in the yamen.  The rice cooks were standing everywhere, and the villagers came out from every household, holding their children and rice bowls, leaning against the door and watching Wang Huaizhong's family.  This woman was a migrant. Although she was beautiful, she was disabled and mute. Later she married Wang Huaizhong, a barefoot doctor. Wang Huaizhong was also an inhumane handicap. The couple lived together and adopted the three sons of her brother-in-law who died young. The youngest  One of his adopted sons became his own son. He thought he would live peacefully like this, but unexpectedly a miracle happened. The mute woman was able to speak, and she even gave birth to a baby with a handle for Wang Luozi.  There was a lot of discussion in the village, saying that the baby was not Wang Luozi's son. Wang Luozi had obviously been kicked and injured by the son of the big family, so how could he give birth to a son? However, this mute woman was kind-hearted and warm-hearted, so the villagers only said it privately.  Said, not laughed at in public.  The Wang family's small courtyard is more dilapidated than before. Because he borrowed money to help Yuan Feng buy medicine and supplements, he incurred a debt of ten taels of silver, which has been compounded with interest. It has not been repaid until now. However, Nan Zhi, standing in the courtyard at this moment,  However, all the officials in Li and Yangzhou prefectures and counties did not dare to make excuses at all. They all stood with their hands lowered and respectfully.  The mute aunt came to the gate of the courtyard with her child on her back. When she saw the red and purple colors all over the courtyard, her eyes were a little confused. Before he could react, dozens of high-ranking officials in red robes and black gauze lifted their robes and knelt down. Shan shouted.  Chitose.  Aunt Mute stood at the door, only to see a familiar figure walking out of her thatched house, came to her and said: "Aunt Mute, I will take you home." Aunt Mute's eyes were filled with tears at these words.  She has been waiting for thirteen years.  Reception room of Chengguan Town Police Station, Fengyang County, Chuzhou, Anhui Province, China.  A long, tired-looking man was sitting on a chair, with faint signs of burnt marks on his head and a few unobvious scars on his face. His expression was a little melancholy and his eyes were a little sluggish, as if he was thinking about something or missing something.  "Zhu Xiaoqiang, your temporary ID card is ready." The emotionless voice of the household registration policeman from the police station sounded behind the window.  The tall man stood up and walked towards the window. On the antique black satin boots under his jeans, a flying dragon embroidered with gold thread was looming.
