After three months.
Zhu Xiong Ying and Lan Yu led the army across the Yangtze River and returned to the capital.
At the Gate of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Yuanzhang personally received the victorious generals.
After a series of formalities, Lan Yu successfully changed from the Marquis of Yong Chang to the Duke of Liang and not the Duke of Liang. The difference of one word was vastly different.
After wantonly rewarding the generals.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying in the crowd and said,"Xiong Ying, didn't you say in the military report that you have a treasure to offer to Imperial Grandfather? Take it out!"
"In front of all the officials, let me see what treasure you brought back for me!”
Zhu Xiong Ying took the Imperial Jade Seal from the tray carried by the eunuch beside him and raised it above his head with both hands. He walked step by step in front of all the officials.
He slowly walked to the center of the crowd.
Standing at the foot of the steps, Zhu Xiongying bowed and said,""The imperial grandson has come to pass on the imperial jade seal. I wish the imperial grandfather a long life, eternal peace, and eternal peace.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed as he stared at the object in Zhu Xiongying's hand. It really looked like the Imperial Seal.
His gaze fell on Zhu Biao. The latter understood and stepped forward."Xiong Ying, do you know that the Imperial Jade Seal has long been lost? Where did you get it?”
"If you make up auspicious signs to make His Majesty happy, that's a serious crime!”
Old Zhu could not be blamed for his doubts and worries.
The Imperial Jade Seal had been lost for a long time. Some people said that it was taken into the sea by Emperor Song.
There were also people who said that Yuan Ting had hidden it in the desert.
There were many different opinions. In fact, no one had seen his true appearance for more than a hundred years.
Some even claimed that the imperial jade seal had been lost during the Tang Dynasty.
"Your grandson has captured the Empress of Emperor Yuan and the Imperial Jade Seal of the Empire from the Well Sect of King Yan's Mansion. I have not deceived you at all, Your Majesty!”
Zhu Xiong Ying said directly.
Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said anxiously,"Is that true?"
"Heaven and earth can testify! If Imperial Grandfather doesn't believe me, summon Emperor Yuan's empress and the servants of the King of Yan. You'll know once you ask!”
The reason why Zhu Xiong Ying didn't ask the King of Yan was because he didn't trust Zhu Di's performance.
If he said it without thinking, he would not be able to clear his name.
The servants of the King of Yan were well known to everyone. The King of Yan himself knew about the Brocade Guard spies hidden in the King of Yan's residence, but he did not dare to say it.
He didn't dare to do anything.
Zhu Yuanzhang said,"The Empress of the Yuan Emperor!"”
"Summon, the Empress of the Yuan Emperor is here!"
"Summon, the Empress of the Yuan Emperor is here!"
"Summon, the Empress of the Yuan Emperor is here!"
The shouts echoed out of the palace. After a quarter of an hour, Concubine Yuan appeared in front of everyone and bowed."Yuan Emperor's consort pays her respects to His Majesty the Great Ming Emperor!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts did not linger on her for even a moment. He only wanted to know if this Imperial Jade Seal was real or fake.
"How can we tell if this heirloom seal is real or fake?”
"The historical records are well known, so it is naturally not difficult to forge them. However, the Qin Emperor used the Heshi jade to forge them back then, and the Heshi jade was originally a rare item in the world.”
"Back then, when His Majesty the Emperor went on a northern expedition, the Imperial Jade Seal was thrown into a well in the Imperial Palace! It was the concubine of Emperor Yuan who took it out and presented it to His Majesty.”
"May Your Majesty show mercy and spare the lives of the captives.”
Concubine Yuan knelt on the ground, Zhu Xiongying also raised the Imperial Seal high up. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,"In that case, is this Imperial Jade Seal real?”
"Absolutely!"
Consort Yuan said with certainty.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and gave Zhu Biao a look.
Zhu Biao took two steps forward and quickly walked down the imperial road. He took the Imperial Jade Seal from Zhu Xiongying's hands and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang step by step.
"Imperial Father, in terms of weight, it's no different from the historical records. It should be true.”Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice,"Even if it isn't real, we have to make it real. Besides, it is real."”
"Father is wise." Zhu Biao said.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and put the Imperial Jade Seal aside. He said,"Imperial Father will make a decision for you, how about it?”
"Conferring the title of Grand Sun? I'm afraid that's not appropriate..." Zhu Biao paused and turned to look at Zhu Xiongying, who was kneeling by the imperial road. He quite liked this child.
However, Zhu Xiongying's aura was too strong, and this northern expedition was a manifestation of that.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed lightly." It's alright. Father has already decided. Xiong Ying is a great talent. If he is chosen, Great Ming can continue to flourish."”
"After you have ruled the country for more than twenty years, Xiong Ying will take over our team. With his deep foundation, he will be able to conquer the south and fight the north. With his martial arts, Great Ming will definitely be able to return to its golden age!”
Zhu Yuanzhang opened the imperial seal. As a father, he had to decide. How could his son have the right to speak?
In fact, before Zhu Xiong Ying returned to the capital, no, to be precise, after Zhu Xiong Ying fished out the Imperial Jade Seal from the well of King Yan's residence.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards had already sent the news to Zhu Yuanzhang as quickly as possible.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind and wrote an imperial edict without a seal.
Now that he had obtained the Imperial Jade Seal, Zhu Yuanzhang used the Imperial Jade Seal to seal the imperial edict with the words "Longevity and Yongchang".
In the Darming Dynasty, the first imperial edict with the mark of the Imperial Jade Seal was officially born.
"Since ancient times, emperors have sacrificed to the heavens and ruled the world. They must establish a reserve and consolidate the foundation of the country. I have been working hard day and night. My grandson, Zhu Xiongying, is outstanding and talented. I respectfully respect the emperor's benevolent orders, examine the ceremonies, and obey the public's wishes."
"I hereby inform the ancestral temple, heaven and earth, and the state that in the 20th year of Hongwu, Zhu Xiongying was given a book and made the imperial grandson to reunite the world for ten thousand years and bind the hearts of the four seas!”
