This time, he did not know in advance all the preparations made by the imperial court for the return of the Northern Expedition Army.

Everything that happened today was according to the specifications set by the imperial court.

Zhu Biao walked very slowly, because among the crowd of people watching at the front, a large number of people broke through the blockade of the Military and Horse Division and the Beijing officers and soldiers, and knelt on the ground and kept wailing.

Those must be military households in Yingtian Mansion.

The officers from Yingtian Mansion had already rushed over to persuade these military households to give way first.

Zhu Biao glanced sideways at Zhu Yunxi who was following behind him.

"I think I have gained a lot from this northern tour. After seeing it with my own eyes, I know that I am indeed more calm."

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, raised his head, and showed a pure and honest smile to the prince's father: "It's all dirt brought back from Daqing Mountain."

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.

It's rare for me to praise my son for his calm behavior.

He explained that the reason why he looked calm was because after staying outside for a long time, there was more dirt on his face and his skin became darker, which made him look calm.

Some couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhu Biao said seriously: "The Daqing City you built by yourself is a good idea. The cabinet and the imperial court are discussing whether this approach can be implemented in other places in the future."

Zhu Yunxi was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "Chineseization is a very detailed matter, and the methods also require a little trial and error. We can't really let Tie Xuan take action every time, and end up with everything outside the Central Plains.

River of blood.”

"But like the Japanese and Jurchens, no one can be left alive?"

Zhu Biao suddenly spoke, with an ambiguous smile on his face, and looked at Zhu Yunxi carefully.

My little thoughts were discovered by my father.

Zhu Yunxi suppressed his expression and whispered: "We still have to adjust measures to local conditions."

He explained vaguely and feebly.

Zhu Biao laughed.

"Those who should be killed must still be killed, and those who should be appeased must be treated with care. The country cannot waste food and sleep. The weapons in your hands must be used when they should be used. As long as you think it is right, being a father means believing in it. Your decision."

It seemed like this kind of conversation hadn't happened for a long time.

wrong.

It should have never happened before.

Zhu Yunxi raised his head again and glanced at Zhu Biao with some confusion.

Zhu Biao shrugged.

The team's speed is restored.

After walking out a few more steps.

Zhu Biao then opened his mouth and said: "Let the officers and men of the army have a good rest for the past two days, and everything in the court will proceed accordingly. There will be no palace banquet tonight, so I will have to trudge back all the way, and I have to cheer up those people." to cope with it.

There are no preparations for tonight in the palace, but the old man wants to set up a few tables in Qianqing Palace for my family and the Huaiyou family to sit down and have a meal together."

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised.

Now, the imperial court is treating the soldiers and horses returning to the court with unprecedented standards. However, no preparations were made at night, which is really different from the past.

Zhu Biao then said: "You don't have to hold back when you go to the Ancestral Temple later. Burn a few sticks of incense, pay your respects, and tell your ancestors that you can go home safely this time."

When a wanderer returns, he first pays homage to his ancestors and then gathers with his family.

This is also a long-standing tradition.

Zhu Yunxi didn't know how to speak for a while, so he just nodded silently.

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "There is no need to go back to Taisun's Mansion in the evening, just stay in the East Palace. Concubine Taisun and Concubine Taisun have not seen you for a long time, and the emperor's heirs are also very few.

Wen Shengshang only knows how to shout Aba Aba, but Poria already knows how to call Zuzu. After all, she has been in front of the old man for a long time, and it was Zuzu who shouted first."

When Zhu Biao said this, he finally showed some regret on his face.

If the old man hadn't taken the lead and allowed the two children to get close to each other on their own, wouldn't it be that they were called grandpa first instead of ancestors?

Zhu Yunxi's heart moved for no reason.

I have been away from Beijing for too long this time.

With a few words, the prince's father dragged himself back from the distant Daqing Mountain, and once again felt the warmth of home.

Zhu Yunxi thought about it carefully, and then said in a low voice: "I will send people to the far north to see if the strait there is really frozen as rumored. If the sea is really frozen, we will cross the strait. , go to the opposite side and walk south to take a look."

He did not directly say that he asked Zhu Yunwen to take Sun Cheng to North America to find out the truth and see if they could find the legendary Yin Shang survivors.

Zhu Biao's brows moved slightly, and then he said: "It's time to go and take a look. If there is really a new land, it will be a great contribution to our dynasty."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said nothing.

The prince's father's meaning is very clear.

He didn't care if he sent Zhu Yunwen to North America, but if he really came back with good news, then Zhu Yunwen would have achieved merit.

Zhu Yunxi immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "Xie Ba from Liaodong Dusi sent some good things last time. There is a box of Dongzhu. When my son came back, people gathered them together. Later, I will share some with the palace."

Qiuniang is also training in the palace now.

Zhu Biao smiled again, looking very pleased.

The father and son ended their conversation.

Throughout the whole process, there was no mention of the Northern Expedition, nor was there any discussion about what Ming Dynasty should do next. They just made some short-term remarks.

The Northern Expedition army, which was returning to Beijing and passing through the city, walked until the evening, after the sun quietly set in the west, and then left Yingtian City from Zhengyang Gate in goose steps, heading towards the Tomb of Meritorious Officials in the south of the city.

Later.

The officials dispersed.

The meritorious deeds of Huaiyou's family who accepted the decree also had their own people accompanying them into the palace.

Zhu Yunxi rushed to the Ancestral Temple first.

After entering the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the excitement outside due to the triumphal march of the army, and the solemn atmosphere of the dead soldiers passing through the city to be watched and paid homage by the people all over the city, all disappeared from Zhu Yunxi's side.

Lanterns were lit up all around the Ancestral Temple.

Under the pillars, a small number of pro-army officers and soldiers were silently on guard duty.

Zhu Yunxi walked into the main hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple alone.

In front of me, the whole palace is brightly lit.

The statues of gods enshrined on the throne stood quietly in front of them.

He was about to step forward to burn incense and worship.

There were footsteps coming from the side.

"You went behind my back and tricked my brother Bing again?"
