"General." The personal soldier came down from the city wall and walked into the frontier guard barracks. He walked in a hurry, with a smile on his face, and a beaming joy. He didn't know he thought he had picked up a lot of money.

After he informed the general and entered the general’s battalion commander, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the book in his hand. After the world was peaceful, he came to the border. At that time, Lin Yuan also wrote to him and asked him if he wanted to, he would continue to be a general, garrison the border and guard Daming If you don’t want to go back to the capital, the title is not lacking him.

Zhu Yuanzhang chose to be stationed at the border, and he is now married to the Ma family. They have a very good relationship and have two daughters.

Seeing that he can't give birth to a son, Zhu Yuanzhang is not in a hurry. Since he is here now, he is not afraid of not being able to pick a good son-in-law.

The daughter recruits parents at home, and the child born is also named Zhu. The roots of the old Zhu family cannot be broken.

The two daughters also grew up on the edge of the barracks, and they worked very well right away, and they also developed their arm strength. The riding and shooting are no worse than ordinary soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang is quite satisfied, and he is relieved even with his daughter. He is not afraid that his daughter will not be able to control the house a hundred years later.

There is also Ma. He didn’t know that she was a woman who didn’t lose the wisdom of a man before she got married. In the past few years, there were bandits in the border, and he was busy fighting. It was Ma who was preparing the military report to the court. She is also writing.

The family is also a good hand, everything is clear, Zhu Yuanzhang never needs to worry about anything else when he goes home to rest.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the soldiers coming in, and smiled: "What are you anxious for?"

The soldier hurriedly saluted: "General! Looking at the humble post on the wall, an envoy is here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up. This envoy was sent by the capital to preach on behalf of the emperor.

Come this time...

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a smile on his face.

He pushed back to Beijing before, but now he is getting older, thinking that it is time for him to return to Beijing to enjoy his life.

Besides, there are also a few promoted at the border, and now they are all holding power. He has been a general for so many years, and if he continues to be, the people below are not easy to get ahead.

Going at this time is the right time and place.

The emperor personally sent someone to invite him, and he was able to give way generously. Returning to Beijing would have such a great feat as Conglongzhi Gong, and a duke could not escape.

I just don’t know if it is Fu Guo Gong or Qin Guo Gong, but no matter which one, it has the face and benefits.

In his early years, he also thought that he might be able to find a king and become a king with a different surname. His Majesty seemed to have the same meaning back then.

But look now, your majesty has made his nephew a king for so many years, and he is still a county king, and according to the new law, this county king cannot be passed on. One generation will stop. If there are no outstanding characters in the next generation, it will be slowly. To decline.

Your Majesty does this to his family, let alone to outsiders like them.

Even if a duke is lucky, Zhu Yuanzhang thinks about it.

He can't be passed down as a Duke, but when he is there, he can guard his two daughters to open branches and leaves to the old Zhu's family. Then there will be a capable grandson in his grandchildren's generation, and Zhu's family can rise up, and their starting point is higher than others.

Besides, in the past few years, your Majesty’s methods have been more tactful, but the officials in the court have been trained by the dead Song Shizhao. They are all echoes of your majesty. It is harder to let them sing the opposite of your majesty than to chop their heads. .

The envoy arrived soon. Zhu Yuanzhang knelt on the ground and listened to the decree. After the envoy finished reciting the decree, he raised his head and took the decree. After standing up, he said to the envoy: "Master Zhang traveled a long distance, why don't you sit in my house? A cup of hot tea?"

The envoy smiled and said: "Then it will be disrespectful, General Zhu please."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Master Zhang, please."

The barracks of the two were not far from the Zhu’s house, and the two did not ride horses, and they talked all the way while walking.

The envoy said: "The next official came to you, General Yang and General Li have already gone there."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

All of them followed before his majesty made his mark. They are getting older and continue to lead soldiers. After all, they are not old, and they have not seen those experienced old generals. There are not none of them who are in battle. A momentum.

But if it is really boiled until that time, the day lily will be cold.

Not to mention the Duke, it is estimated that he will be a great general after his death. The great general is worthless, and one can be filled in after he died.

It is different with the title.

After all, the titles can be counted, and even if he leaves in the future, his wife and daughter can live well with the duchess and the duchess daughter.

But he can only bless them, the grandchildren's generation will not be done, the grandchildren's generation depends on their own ability.

The envoy went to the post house to rest, and Zhu Yuanzhang let his wife and daughter pack up at night. The old servants in the family took away all those who were willing to go to the capital, and gave a severance pay for those who did not want to go. As for the furniture at home, there is no need for large items. Take it away, the capital is already ready, but things for self-consciousness are fine.

Aunt Zhu heard that she was going to the capital, and the girl who was less than twenty happily said, "Father? Really?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Go, Dad will ask for a request when the time comes, and see if you can ask your sisters for the county owner or the county owner to come back."

Probably there is no way to get the county owner, but the county owner still has hope.

Aunt Zhu said quickly: "Then I will go and say goodbye to my friends tomorrow!"

She still has a lot of friends, and now the defense between men and women is not as serious as before. There are men and women among friends.

Because it is a border, in order to prevent accidents, my daughter also has to learn how to ride and shoot. Except for the bad body, most of them are good at riding and shooting.

Zhu Xiaoniang is not as courageous as her sister, she said timidly: "Going to the capital, there are big rules..."

Mars laughed next to him: "No matter how the rules are, you are also your father's daughter. As long as you don't make a big mistake, who will punish you? Besides, when I go to the capital, I will just talk to you about marriage."

When Ma said these words, the two girls were a little bit shy, and Aunt Zhu was bold: "Then I want to be both civil and military, but not a sour scholar who can only read, nor a stupid big man who can only work hard."

Ma stunned, and said helplessly: "We are picking up a stubbornness. If you are married, this kind of stuff is hard to find, let alone finding a stubbornness. As long as you are an honest child, you will be down to earth.

Aunt Zhu's eyes rolled: "That's OK, it's good to look good!"

Zhu Xiaoniang lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I am the same as my sister."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "I will definitely pick two wishful lords for you!"

The Zhu family was on the road soon. Zhu Yuanzhang was very popular here. Many people saw them off. Aunt Zhu was sitting in the carriage, raising the curtain and looking at the slowly disappearing city gate. Uneasiness finally came to her heart. I grew up here and never left.

She yearns for the capital. What is the capital?It is the capital of the country and the place where the emperor lives. The people there are more proud than the people in other places.

but……

Aunt Zhu suddenly approached Ma's family, leaned her head on Ma's shoulder, held Ma's hand, and whispered: "Mother, ladies in the capital...will you look down on me?"

She doesn't know how to be a female celebrity, or piano or chess, and she only knows a little about painting and calligraphy.

All her advantages at the border will become disadvantages when she goes to the capital.

Zhu Xiaoniang was also very scared and leaned on the other side of the Ma family.

Ma knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so she could only pat her daughters on the back without saying a word, silently appeasing.

The capital is not peaceful.

In the beginning, it was only Meng University's resignation, but it was also stopped. It was not so easy for officials to resign. The court would not easily agree to it. Of course, officials would not resign easily.

Mengda’s reason was that his father was old and he wanted to support his father for a long time. He could no longer be loyal to the court, but only wanted to be a son of man.

The words are very high-sounding, but the above do not believe it at all.

Isn't it true that an official can't fulfill his filial piety?

What does Mengda mean by doing this?Tell the officials of the imperial court that when their parents are old, they should resign and go back to provide for their parents.

As long as you are a moral role model, we are not filial if we do not resign?

Anyway, the above pressured his fold. It was useless for Meng Da to be anxious. After running away from countless people, they all had only one sentence: "The upper hand can decide. We can't be the master."

So Mengda waited and waited until the news that his second and third brothers were escorted back to Beijing.

There is only one charge, dereliction of duty.

If it is corruption, it can be saved, it may be locked up for several years or more than ten years.

But dereliction of duty... This is a serious crime, which means that in addition to being greedy for money, they are still the common people, the officials and businessmen are colluding, and the officials are protecting each other.

Malfeasance is a capital crime.

When Meng University got the news, his mind was confused.

Their family was placed under house arrest in the mansion. Before finding out whether he was embarrassed with his brother, Meng Da and his family could not take a step out of the house, even to see his brother.

Fortunately, the imperial court moved quickly and found out that the University of Meng had indeed failed to pass on the news to them and did not help the abuser, so the ban was lifted.

But Meng Da was dismissed and no longer employed in this life. His children were not accepted by the court for three generations.

The children of the brothers are not available for the five generations.

The official career of the Meng family ended here.

Meng Er and Meng San were sentenced to death and their family properties were confiscated.

But misfortune did not harm the family. Meng Er and Meng San's wives returned to their natal family with their children, and the children followed their mother's surname instead of their father's.

Although he still couldn't be an official, he didn't have to be blinded by others after going out.

Mengda quickly left the capital with his family and went to live in a small city. No one knew that he was a capital official.

No one knows what ambitions he once had.

Mengda regretted it. When he received the letter, he didn't think about protecting oneself, but about exterminating relatives.

Perhaps it was just that he was dismissed, and his children can still take scientific research.

Meng Da regretted not at the beginning.

When their family left the city gate, they saw a group of horses and carts entering the city with great momentum.

His little daughter asked, "Father, whose house is that?"

Meng Da looked sad, looked at the endless convoy, and said, "It should be the general."

The youngest daughter didn’t know what was going on with her family, but only knew that she was moving. She curiously asked, “Isn’t it General Chen?

Meng Da shook his head: "There are four generals, and it is General Zhu who is back this time."

Staggered on both sides.

While walking into the city, while walking outside the city.

Never meet again in this life.
