In the capital.
Outside Yongding Gate.
There was a sea of people.
"Is it true? I heard that today is the day His Highness the Crown Prince and his Tiger Troop return to court?”
"That's right. Otherwise, why would so many people gather here? I saw at the city gate that Zhengyang Street between Yongding Gate and Zhengyang Gate has been cordoned off. Soldiers are standing on both sides. From the looks of it, the emperor might show up later to welcome these returning heroes.”
"Really? However, His Highness the Crown Prince and the others were really amazing! He wiped out the Tartar army with his army and swept across the northern border with seventy thousand soldiers. I'm really glad that such a person is the crown prince of our Ming Dynasty!”
"Tsk, look at what you're saying. He's our Great Ming's Crown Prince. Do you still need to rejoice? You should be honored!”
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right!"
"I also heard that Dayan Khan of Tartar was also escorted to the capital?”
"Yes, it is said that he was paraded in the streets of various border passes for half a month and was almost beaten to death by the onlookers!”
"There's such a thing? This guy probably never thought that such a day would come!”
"That's for sure…"
……
The news that the Crown Prince had returned to court spread like wildfire.
Or rather, the Imperial Court had never wanted to hide this matter.
Such meritorious service was something that would benefit thousands of years. It was worth treating him like this.
As a result, countless people who had heard the news had gathered here. Because of the curfew at Yongding Gate, these people had started from outside the gate and spread out for more than ten li.
Everyone scrambled to stand on their tiptoes and look into the distance, hoping to see the Crown Prince and the Tiger Troop as soon as possible.
Just as the commoners were looking forward to it, a fast horse whipped through the crowd and galloped straight into Yongding Gate.
Soon, Zhengyang Gate opened.
Troops of burly generals clad in golden armor emerged from within. These burly generals stood on both sides of Zhengyang Street in a dignified manner.
Then, the dragon carriage began to walk out of Zhengyang Gate. Emperor Hongzhi, who was wearing a dragon robe, sat on the dragon carriage. His face was flushed and he could not hide his excitement.
It was probably the first time in history that the emperor of a country received the crown prince with such etiquette.
However, Zhu Houzhao's actions deserved such courtesy.
Destroy the Tartars;
occupy the grasslands;
Even Emperor Taizong, who had gone on five northern expeditions, had not been able to do so.
Zhu Houzhao's actions were considered great achievements!
It was no exaggeration to say that it would benefit Qianqiu!
A victory, defeating Big Ming's old enemy.
Pushing the border of Great Ming to the north for thousands of miles, not only did Great Ming expand its territory, the surrounding thieves were also scared out of their wits by the Crown Prince's actions.
This was not a war!
This was a war of extermination!
In the past, they could still hide.
He could still escape.
They could still surrender.
They could even bow down to him.
However, Zhu Houzhao had fought for so long.
There was no more news about the Tartar captives.
With just this alone, the surrounding villains were terrified and did not dare to have any second thoughts. They completely submitted to Da Ming's feet!
……
On Zhengyang Gate Street.
Emperor Hongzhi's dragon carriage was at the front.
Behind him were two rows of civil and military officials.
The civil ministers were led by the cabinet Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.
The generals were led by the Duke of England, Zhang Mao, followed by a group of military officers.
All the officials were present, and all of them were there to welcome the Crown Prince who had returned from the northern expedition.
Such a scene, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no one could have such treatment.
On the walls of Yongding Gate.
Emperor Hongzhi gazed into the distance and said softly,"
"He's here, he's finally back!"
After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, the civil and military officials on the city wall also noticed the Tiger Troop that had appeared in the distance.
The ministers were excited and shouted.
"They're back, they're back!"
When the commoners below the city wall heard the shouts from above, they also tiptoed and looked forward.
But at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi, who had been looking into the distance, frowned.
A moment later, he turned to Liu Jian and asked.
"Have you seen the Crown Prince?"
Liu Jian frowned when he heard this. After observing for a moment, he shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, I have not seen him.”
Emperor Hongzhi searched again but still could not find the Crown Prince.
Emperor Hongzhi, who had guessed that the Crown Prince was hiding at the side, was filled with enthusiasm, but it instantly cooled down.
As the emperor, he had come to Yongding Gate to welcome him.
In the end, this brat had avoided him and thrown his Tiger Troop here.
What was this?
Bastard!
Emperor Hongzhi cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
Looking at the Tiger Troop approaching the city gate, the furious Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to take a deep breath and temporarily put this matter aside.
They began to inspect this heroic army that had created great achievements.
In front of the city wall.
The 70,000 Tiger Troop entered the capital.
The black armor covered his face, and he walked in unison with a sonorous and powerful landing sound.
Although it was just a simple square formation, its aura was overwhelming.
On the walls of Yongding Gate, Emperor Hongzhi clenched his fists unconsciously when he saw this scene. His eyes followed the team closely.
As the Tiger Troop approached the city wall, a tsunami of shouts suddenly came from the Tiger Troop's mouth.
"Sun and moon rotation! Eternal Light!"
"Sun and moon rotation! Eternal Light!"
……
When Emperor Hongzhi heard the slogan below, his heart surged with lofty sentiments.
The disappointment that he felt because Zhu Houzhao didn't appear was swept away by the scene in front of him.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Tiger Troop at the foot of the city and sighed. He muttered to himself,"
"Ancestors, Great Ming has produced a good Crown Prince! I'm not as good as him!"
