Chongzhen Chat Group

Riding Juechen, he brought up the dust all the way, and in a short time, he was at the front of the team. Liu Xingzuo saw at a glance the tall, fair and eye-catching Denglai Governor Lu Xiangsheng who was riding in front of the team. When he saw that he was looking at him with a smile, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted. Before he could say anything, Lu Xiangsheng had already spoken first and smiled. Then he said: "Go and see your mother first!"

Liu Xingzuo had a deep sense of gratitude on his face, and without saying much, he got off his horse and trotted towards the carriage without caring about his manners.

"Daddy, daddy..." Little girl Yue'er didn't know when she had poked her little head out of the carriage, stretched out her little hand, and shouted loudly while waving, with excitement in her voice. He couldn't even wait for Liu Xingzuo to pass by, so he jumped off the carriage and rushed towards Liu Xingzuo.

Liu Xingzuo quickly knelt down, stretched out his hands and picked up his daughter, holding her tightly in his arms.

"Dad, are you crying?" Miss Yue'er suddenly noticed that Liu Xingzuo's tears were flowing out. She quickly reached out to wipe them away and said at the same time, "Dad, don't cry. My daughter, mother, grandma, and aunts are all fine!"

Liu Xingzuo wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he quickly asked: "Where is grandma?"

"Over there!" Miss Yue'er had already wiped away her father's tears, turned around and pointed at the first carriage, the one she had just jumped off from, and said.

Liu Xingzuo looked over after hearing the sound, and first saw the little hand pointed by his daughter. He saw that his daughter's hand was a little rough and had many calluses. It looked like a child's hand, and he couldn't help but feel sad again. Looking further forward, he saw his wife kneeling beside the first carriage, lifting the curtain with her hand and looking at him. In the car, it was his old mother, looking at him with a smile.

Liu Xingzuo's first thought was that his mother was much older, had more wrinkles than before, and had lost a lot of weight.

"Mother!" Liu Xingzuo shouted, holding his daughter in his arms and ran over in a few steps. When he got to the car, he put his daughter down and knelt down on the ground. He kowtowed to the ground and said with a sobbing voice, "My child is unfilial." , making your old man suffer!"

The old woman also shed tears. Looking at her eldest son who was kneeling on the ground, she quickly leaned forward and stretched out her hand to signal. At the same time, she said happily with tears in her eyes: "Zuo'er, get up quickly. Mom is fine. There are many people." Look at it!”

There were two people beside the carriage who had already dismounted, but Liu Xingzuo didn't see them. They were his brothers, Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingxian. After hearing their mother's instructions, the two of them stepped forward, each supporting one side, to help Liu Xingzuo up.

"elder brother!"

"Brother!"

Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingxian couldn't help but feel happy and envious in their hearts when they saw their eldest brother wearing the official uniform of a royal guard commander, looking majestic and majestic. He was the emperor's most trusted confidant.

Liu Xingzuo nodded to the two brothers, got on the carriage and knelt down in front of the old man. He looked at the old mother carefully and couldn't help but burst into tears again. No need to ask, my mother must have suffered a lot in Liaodong!

The old woman was also crying, but with a smile, she stretched out her thin hands and wiped her son's tears. Then she looked at Liu Xingzuo's face carefully and reached out to touch her son's hair, as if she was afraid that what she saw in front of her was just A dream.

When the other soldiers and generals in the team saw this scene, not only did they not laugh, but they showed kind smiles. They thought in their hearts that the commander of the Jinyi Guards made such a great official, but he was also a sweet-tempered person, how good it was!

Suddenly, the old woman seemed to come to her senses and quickly ordered her son: "Zuo'er, don't keep Lu Zhongcheng waiting! Now that the family is reunited, there will be plenty of time in the future."

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Mother is right, the chief minister of the cabinet and all the civil and military officials are also waiting at the city gate!"

The old woman didn't know about this. When she heard that the chief minister of the cabinet and all the civil and military officials were waiting at the city gate, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and quickly urged Liu Xingzuo not to delay any longer.

Liu Xingzuo turned his head and glanced at his wife beside him, his eyes full of tenderness, but he did not speak. He got off the carriage according to his mother's words, looked at each other with his two brothers, then got up and rode alongside Lu Xiangsheng and said: "I didn't expect that I would see my mother again one day, so Zhong Cheng laughed!"

Having said this, he once again solemnly bowed his fist to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Zhongcheng's kindness in saving my family from thousands of miles away is deeply felt by Xing Zuo and will be kept in my heart!"

After receiving the grateful promise from the commander of the Jinyi Guards, it can be said that whoever wants to touch Lu Xiangsheng in the future must first pass him. But to touch the benefactor of the commander of the Jin Yiwei, no official in the Ming Dynasty would have such weight! From this moment on, Lu Xiangsheng's official career can be said to have a major guarantee.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally understood in his heart, but he cupped his fist in the direction of the capital and said, "I just followed the emperor's order and did what I should do. If Commander Liu wants to thank you, he should thank the emperor first!" Otherwise, even if I wanted to go to Shenyang to save your family this time, it would be impossible to succeed without the Emperor taking the trouble to provide so much information!"

Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo nodded involuntarily and said with great solemnity: "I, Liu Xingzuo, don't know what virtues or talents I have, so that I am so valued by the emperor. Even my Liu family has received such great kindness from the emperor, and it is difficult for me to repay the kindness even if I am broken into pieces!"

If Liu Xingzuo was grateful to Emperor Chongzhen for his kindness in the past and would do his best, after this incident, he became a real dog to Emperor Chongzhen himself. He was absolutely loyal and would bite whomever he asked. Whatever you do will be done!

Not long after, the team arrived at the gate of the capital city. The chief assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, read out the imperial edict and promoted Lu Xiang to the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master. He was given Mang uniforms and Yin Yizi was appointed as the Jinyi Guard Baihu. Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were promoted to staff generals and assigned to the command of Governor Denglai. Mao Chengzuo was named the deputy commander-in-chief of Dongjiang, which was recognized by the court and officially took over Mao Wenlong's original position. Liu Xingzhi was named deputy general, and other generals at all levels also received many rewards.

After reading out this edict, Wen Tiren took out another edict, but it was for Liu Xingzuo's family. In the imperial edict, Mrs. Liu was commended for her good parenting skills, cultivating talents for the imperial court, and even risking her own life to persuade her son to abandon the dark side and join the bright side. She was indeed a role model for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Mrs. Liu is hereby named the first-grade imperial wife. Although Liu Xingzuo's daughter-in-law was born in the Jurchen tribe , but she understands the truth, can argue right from wrong, understands filial piety, and is also named the second-grade imperial wife. In addition, Liu Xingzuo's deceased father also received posthumous titles.

After reading out these decrees, Wen Tiren led the civil and military officials to lead the cavalry into the capital, and sent the ashes of the martyrs from this expedition to the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall.

The whole ceremony took about an afternoon, and the people of the capital watched everything from beginning to end, until they saw the ashes of the martyrs entering the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs under the guidance of the chief minister and other civil and military officials.

As the crowd dispersed, the reputation of General Liu of the Ming Dynasty spread.
