Start by saving Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang honors me as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

The early morning sunlight is a little dazzling. As the sun rises, large patches of sunlight pour out and fall all over the earth.

The Nanjing City Tower, with its mottled ancient walls left behind, appears to have grown stronger with age under the sunlight!

A red carpet was rolled out from the city wall, and civil and military officials stood beside the red carpet. About twenty miles away from the city wall, Zhu Yuanzhang, along with several ministers and a group of Jinyiwei, stood solemnly.

"Erhu! How long until the Marquis of Taiping arrives?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a black uniform at the moment, with a golden nine-clawed dragon embroidered in the center of his chest. He exuded an inexplicable majesty, and just standing there, he exuded an oppression that enveloped the heavens and the earth!

Erhu bowed and whispered, "I just received a letter. They will be here in half an hour at most!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly without saying anything, looking into the distance. For some reason, he suddenly felt nervous at this moment. The mighty and domineering emperor's hands trembled with nervousness when he thought of the scene that was about to happen. He was afraid that no one would believe him if he told others about it.

at the same time

Lin An was riding a horse, a few steps behind Xu Da.

He walked side by side with Zhu Di, and beside him was Xu Miaojin. The two of them followed closely, and there was an indescribable feeling. The others were also quite tactful and kept a distance from the two of them to avoid being fed with the fresh hot dog food.

"Brother Lin An, Nanjing City is just ahead!"

Xu Miaojin suddenly spoke, a look of worry in her eyes. After all, they were in a public place, so her words were a little obscure, but Lin An understood it immediately.

If they are unwilling, they still have a chance to regret now, but once they arrive at the imperial city, they will not even have the chance to regret. If this is a Hongmen Banquet, what awaits them will be an abyss of no return!

While no one else was paying attention, Lin An rode up to Xu Miaojin, leaned over, rubbed her head vigorously, and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Besides, if I want to leave, no one can stop me!"

Xu Miaojin nodded, still a little worried.

Zhu Biao, who was in front, suddenly said, "It's almost here. I've already seen my father's carriage!"

Xu Miaojin was a little surprised. "But we are still more than 20 miles away from the Imperial City. How could it be..."

Having said this, she paused in shock, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, a look of disbelief slowly emerged on her face. She swallowed her saliva and looked at Zhu Biao in shock. Zhu Biao looked at her kindly and smiled:

"Marquis Taiping's achievements are immense. Father has marched twenty miles out of the city to greet him as a sign of respect! This is also to comfort the spirits of those who sacrificed their lives for their country in this battle!"

As Zhu Biao spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, and then felt a little emotional!

However, the shock on Xu Miaojin's face surged out like a tide. She still remembered that her father, Xu Da, Duke of Wei, had led a large army to drive the Yuan court out of the northern capital, drove it back to the grassland, and conquered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Such a great achievement, but the Hongwu Emperor only went out of the city ten miles to greet him!

Now, it’s twenty miles away!

Xu Da was at the front and was quite moved when he heard this, but his heart also calmed down!

About half an hour later!

The golden imperial carriage slowly appeared before everyone!

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang actually looked over rather reservedly, perhaps a little excited. He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands, with a very rich expression on his face!

Your Majesty... a little nervous?

Erhu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and this thought came to his mind.

Then came a great shock!

You know, Zhu Yuanzhang killed people without blinking an eye. Not to mention being nervous, if others didn't howl in pain when looking at this god of death, they would be thanking him profusely. But now, there is some resistance.

While thinking, Erhu secretly raised his head. Perhaps by accident, he suddenly saw Lin An riding a tall and majestic horse. An extremely bold idea popped up in his mind.

Could it be that the emperor's uneasiness, tension and other complex emotions were all caused by Lin An!

You know what, it's very possible!

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly ran forward in the direction of Lin An.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was old, he was really strong when he ran. In a short while, he was in front of Lin An. When everyone was about to shout "Long live the emperor", Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stretched out his palm towards Lin An, and said with a smile like a kind father:

"Come! Let us help you!"

Seeing that Lin An seemed to be about to refuse, Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said, "It's okay! We are all family! Family members should not have different opinions! If you need any help in the future, just ask! As long as I can do it, I will never hesitate!"

After hearing this, not only Lin An was stunned, but even Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were a little at a loss.

Because they saw a flattering smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. Yes, it was flattering!

After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Di swallowed his saliva, looked at Zhu Biao, and said with a complicated expression: "Brother, am I a little dazzled..."

He thought that no matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang respected Lin An, he would at least treat him as the emperor. But looking at the current situation, it seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang did not regard himself as the emperor at this moment.

Xu Miaojin stared with wide eyes, perhaps too shocked to even react for a moment.

In comparison, Lin An was relatively calm. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and couldn't help feeling a little surprised. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards him would change a lot, but he really didn't expect that the change would be so big!

All of a sudden he went from being the high and mighty emperor to someone of the same status, or even lower!

He even heard a hint of flattery in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone. He was stunned for a moment before he stretched out his hand!

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly reached out his hand and helped Lin An down from his horse. He ignored the shocked looks of the crowd and said with a smile, "We have a celebration banquet in the palace. I wonder if Your Majesty would be so kind as to attend it!"

Afraid that Lin An would refuse, he quickly said, "Our sister has lost her appetite these past few days. She should go get some treatment before going to the celebration banquet!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he was really cautious, without any trace of an emperor's demeanor. He was even observing Lin An while speaking, fearing that his words would make Lin An unhappy.

Xu Da just stood there and looked at the emperor's humble appearance. He pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a complicated smile.

It seems that his initial guess was right. Old Zhu really treated Lin An according to the standards of the emperor!

That's why I feel a little sad!

That was entirely because he had made immortal contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but Emperor Hongwu did not treat him in this way. It was indeed a contrast!
