The next day, I heard that the imperial minister had returned to the hotel, and Chen Yongfu and his son came to see him.

When they entered the living room, they found a young man sitting in the main seat.

However, Imperial Envoy Minister Jinyiwei Tongzhi Yue Yang stood respectfully aside. Chen Yongfu and his son were suddenly stunned.

Seeing that Chen Yongfu and his son were confused, Yue Yang hurriedly said:

"General Chen, please meet the Crown Prince quickly!"

I heard that the young man in front of me turned out to be the famous little evil prince.

Chen Yongfu and Chen De were shocked and hurriedly came forward to pay their respects:

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Henan Province Chen Yongfu and Chen De met with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't know that His Highness came to Kaifeng and did not go far to welcome him. Please punish me!"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Cixi stood up and helped Chen Yongfu and his son up:

"You two gentlemen, please excuse yourself from the ceremony, get down, and grant me a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!"

Chen Yongfu and his son, Xie Enping, stood aside with their hands folded. They did not dare to sit down in front of the Crown Prince.

Seeing that the two of them were a little reserved, Zhu Cixi said again:

This is not a court. You generals, don't be formal. Come and sit down!

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Chen Yongfu and his son heard that the crown prince's green face and fangs killed people without blinking an eye.

Today I saw that it was not the case at all, the legend was all nonsense.

Seeing the two of them sitting down carefully, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said:

"I am traveling secretly this time. Just know it and don't publicize it!"

The two hurriedly handed over:

"As you command!"

The two people hurriedly accepted the order, and then Chen Yongfu handed over his hands again and said:

"His Royal Highness has come all the way to Kaifeng. At the end of the day, we will host a banquet and invite His Highness to the General Military Mansion for a drink!"

Zhu Cixi smiled and shook his head:

"The general is kindly guided by me. I have been out of the capital for a long time. I will leave to return to the capital today. I have something to tell the general before leaving."

Chen Yongfu and his son hurriedly stood up and bowed:

"Your Highness, despite your orders, I will do my best!"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused suffering to the people in Henan, and I have killed more than a hundred corrupt officials.

Nowadays, there are a lot of vacancies among officials. I have appointed Li Yan from Qixian County as the acting chief envoy to Henan, and he will arrive in Kaifeng in the next few days.

After Li Yan takes office, you must unite and work together to build water conservancy projects, resettle the refugees, eliminate domestic bandits, and make every effort to govern Henan.

In times of national calamity, we must train our troops diligently, be ready to attack invading enemies head-on at any time, and contribute to the defense of Ming Dynasty and Henan.

I believe and think highly of you and your son. If there is no banditry in Henan within three years, and the military discipline is strict and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I will reserve a title for you..."

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he drew a big cake for Chen Yongfu and his son, which was a combination of kindness and power.

Chen Yongfu originally thought that he was already the boss in Henan, but when he suddenly heard that Li Yan was airborne, he felt a little disappointed.

Everyone is like this. He never thought that he, a military general, could manage Henan.

But Yue Yang once said that he would be allowed to temporarily manage Henan, which gave Chen Yongfu hope.

It's great now. Li Yan became the chief minister when he came, and he instantly became the second in command. Can you not be disappointed?

But when they heard the crown prince promising a title, Chen Yongfu and his son suddenly became energetic, and their eyes began to shine. Sir, let your wife be your wife and your son will shine on your family!

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, you can't be knighted unless you have merit in battle. He is a local deputy general soldier and has no background. To be able to become a general soldier in this life is already at the peak. Many deputy general soldiers are still deputy general soldiers when they grow old.

The father and son once again prostrated themselves before Zhu Cixiang:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. The general and his son are willing to fight for the great Ming Dynasty, even if they go up mountains of swords and under seas of fire, even if they die!"

Zhu Cihong helped the father and son up and said:

"Now that the people in Henan are fleeing from famine on a large scale, there will definitely be a lot of extra land. I can allow you to recruit 10,000 field soldiers, train them more in your spare time, and take them to the battlefield in time of war."

"As ordered, Your Highness will retire if you have no other instructions!"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"Nothing, just go and get busy!"

Chen Yongfu and his son left, and Chongzhen walked out of the room and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty is trying to make a big deal again. In your eyes, the title of Ming Dynasty is so worthless!"

Zhu Cixi smiled:

"The viscounts and barons have been restored. They can be rewarded for their great achievements and can be hereditary. Although they are just some honors, they are great gifts to the generals.

It is not like the hereditary influence of Dukes and uncles on the Ming Dynasty. If the Duke of Cheng Dynasty has been with the country for more than two hundred years and the city has decayed, the emperor will definitely cancel this hereditary inheritance in the future."

Chongzhen nodded sincerely:

"What the emperor said is absolutely true. Viscounts and barons don't have fiefdoms, they are just names. They can be used to win over the hearts and minds of generals. My father is not as clear-minded as you. The emperor has the quality of a saintly king, and my father is not as good as him!"

It was the first time that Zhu Cixiang heard the emperor's praise in person. He felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly bowed:

"Father, thank you very much. This aspect of the emperor's son comes from your inheritance!"

Chongzhen rolled his eyes:

"Stop patting the dragon and let the soldiers prepare. My father wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible. I heard that there are many big fish in Taiye Pond!"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"Yue Yang sent an order to let the soldiers eat as much as possible and return to Beijing in an hour. Change the route back to Beijing. Take Zhengzhou, pass Gong County, and cross the river from Luoyang!"

"As you command!"

Chongzhen was very satisfied when he heard that the route back to Beijing had been changed:

"Well, my father also wants to see how the disaster is in the ancient capital of Luoyang!"

An hour later, the team left Kaifeng. They all rode very quickly. Before dark, they had passed Zhengzhou and entered Xingyang. They stayed in Xingyang for one night and continued on their way the next day.

There were mostly mountainous roads ahead, so the team advanced slowly. After walking for a long time in Gong County, Zhu Cixiang opened the curtains to look outside and ordered the team to stop and light a fire to cook and rest for two hours before walking.

Yue Yang accepted the order and immediately issued the order to the crown prince. The soldiers jumped off their horses one after another and fed the horses fodder while the horses were resting. The soldiers in the kitchen began to dig holes and bury pots to light a fire for cooking.

Zhou Yuji looked around and found that the place was full of hills and hills. Worried about rogue bandits disturbing the emperor's meal, he immediately sent four teams out all night to investigate the surrounding situation.

There is a small town about five miles away from Weiwu Camp. At this time, the town is being looted by a group of bandits. Almost all the goods on the street have been looted, and some women have been bullied in the street.

Old man Wang is a carpenter and can barely survive by relying on his craftsmanship. However, now that the drought has cut off the harvest and the price of food has risen sharply, the dozen or so taels of silver that the family has saved for many years is almost gone.

Today he spent the last few taels of silver at home, but he only bought 30 kilograms of grains. There are five people in the family. After eating these 30 kilograms of grains, Old Man Wang really didn't know how he would live in the future.

Unexpectedly, not far from the grain store, the town was looted by bandits. Old Wang hurriedly ran away with the sack on his back. If the grain was robbed, his family would definitely starve to death.

"You old man, stop..."

As soon as he ran a few steps, he was robbed by two gangsters, and the sack containing the grain was also snatched away. Old man Wang was shocked, and hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed the sack of grain, and begged:

"Hero, spare your life. The five members of my family depend on this little food to survive. If you take away the food, my family will starve to death..."

"Go away, it's none of my business if your family starves to death!"

As a result, the bandit's eyes widened, and he kicked Old Wang away more than two meters. The two bandits chuckled, picked up the grain bags, and left.

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly two gunshots were heard, and the bandits who were robbing food were instantly shot through the heart... I like the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperous age started from the Prince Supervisor.
