In recent days, many ordinary people in the capital have woken up to a completely different feeling.

The small vendors who set up stalls were especially surprised to find that until noon, not only were there no hooligans who usually wandered around, but even the patrolmen from the Bingmasi were nowhere to be seen.

This happened all of a sudden, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past, whether it was gangsters or patrolmen, they would steal some food when passing by. Not only did the vendors not dare to get angry, they had to smile and express their enthusiasm.

Otherwise, it will be difficult next time, as people from both the underworld and the white world can bully them at will.

For this kind of thing, there is no point in reporting to the police for the loss of a few copper coins, and no one will answer.

These days, petty theft is not allowed in public.

In the Ming Dynasty Palace.

At this time, Zhu Ying was not reviewing the memorials. Looking at the fish swimming in the pond of Kunning Palace, he had already thought about starting to fish.

Whether he is now as His Royal Highness the Grand Sun or in the future as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in Zhu Ying's opinion, governing the country by law and ruling with ease is the ultimate way of the king.

If the rise and fall of a country depends on the emperor alone, then it will be difficult for that country to last long.

As we all know, the Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years, 24 years away from 300 years.

Moreover, it was not the Qing Dynasty that destroyed the Ming Dynasty, but Li Zicheng, a postman at the Ming Dynasty post station.

Despite external and internal troubles and constant natural disasters.

But in the end, they were defeated by their own people. The Ming Dynasty, which was established by the peasant uprising, eventually fell because of the peasant uprising.

These are common perceptions among people in later generations. Looking at the Ming Dynasty from the perspective of later history, it can be said that it was full of loopholes.

In the end, it was completely rotten to the core.

"Fortunately, I didn't travel back to the end of the Ming Dynasty. If I had, no one would have been able to save the Ming Dynasty. It would have been completely rotten from top to bottom, and the only option would have been to tear it down and rebuild it."

Zhu Ying watched the fish swimming around and murmured.

Behind Zhu Ying, Li Weiliang was looking at the memorial and writing furiously.

That's right.

Zhu Ying threw the memorial that he was supposed to review directly to Li Weiliang for processing.

Of course, Li Weiliang did not review the memorial directly, but would first write his opinions and views on a piece of white paper.

Then it is placed among the memorials, and after all are read, it is handed over to His Royal Highness the Chang Sun for review.

In this way, Zhu Ying's workload was greatly reduced.

The review of memorials, which was originally a question of answering questions, has now become a multiple-choice question.

Just when Zhu Ying was slacking off, Ye Yueqing came over and said, "Your Highness, Zhang San is back."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying scattered all the fish food in his hand into the pond. All the colorful koi appeared and began to fight for the food.

Zhu Ying couldn’t even name these koi, which became extremely valuable in later generations. They were just common ornamental objects in the palace.

"Let him come directly to the palace. The commander of my personal guards has finally arrived."

"It was really hard for him to deliver the letter this time. I didn't expect such a misunderstanding to happen."

Zhu Ying said.

When Zhu Ying's disciples arrived in the capital, Zhu Ying naturally knew everything that happened in Qunying City and what happened when Zhang San returned.

No one dared to hide this matter.

The reason why it took so long for Zhang San to return was mainly because he went to recuperate.

"Your Highness, Zhang San seems to have developed feelings for a certain woman from Qun Ying City this time, which is why he has been delayed for so long."

Ye Yueqing spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "This wooden guy has finally come to his senses. At his age, he should have started a family and a career long ago."

"It doesn't matter now. It depends on which family the girl is from. I will help him arrange it when the time comes, so that he can settle down and live in the capital."

Zhu Ying trusts Zhang San very much.

As one of the earliest people to follow Zhu Ying, Zhang San has an amazing talent in martial arts. He is definitely inferior to Zhu Ying, after all, they are not in the same league.

But even in the army, he is definitely a very ruthless general.

Speaking of cruelty, Zhang San was the cruelest he had ever seen. During the earliest training, his cruelty was simply amazing.

Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that Zhang San once ate human beings.

That’s right, Zhang San survived by eating human flesh.

Cannibalism is a cruel word, but in the real Ming Dynasty, in most places, especially in famine-stricken areas, there were few people who survived without having eaten other people.

The news soon reached Zhang San who was waiting outside the palace.

Zhang San followed the eunuch silently and walked towards the imperial palace.

This was his first time to the imperial palace, the most powerful place in the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhang San's eyes did not show much fluctuation, but were filled with indifference that ignored everything.

Perhaps only when he thought of his boss and that girl, would a moment of tenderness appear deep in his eyes.

Between the choice between Dongjia and her, he chose Dongjia, the person he would be loyal to until death and the person who saved him.

The eunuch walking in front was a little puzzled and looked back involuntarily several times.

The person following behind was just like a ghost, without any footsteps at all.

It was broad daylight, and he felt nervous.

After torturing Zhang San for two incense sticks, the eunuch finally brought Zhang San to Kunning Palace. After reporting back, the eunuch discovered that his back was soaked.

Just now, along the way, he felt as if a lone wolf was staring at him from behind at any time, and his body subconsciously tensed up.

"Why don't you stay in Qun Ying City for a while longer? You know the situation here. It's different from before. It's not as dangerous as before."

"Besides, you finally have someone you like. If you come here like this, it would seem like I am trying to break up the couple."

Seeing Zhang San, Zhu Ying's already good mood became even better, and she joked with a smile.

However, Zhang San was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Master, there is absolutely no wrongdoing between Erya and me, please investigate."

"She...she just took care of me when I was injured. I have absolutely no feelings for her. Please believe in my loyalty."

Zhang San's words seemed a little nervous, but Zhu Ying couldn't help laughing.

"What are you talking about? It really makes me want to break you up. It's a good thing that you have someone you like. If I remember correctly, you are almost 25 this year."

"If it were an ordinary family, they would have several children by now, but you are still a bachelor. This is not acceptable."

"If this hadn't happened, I would have been looking for a good girl for you in the capital. Now that you've found one yourself, I don't need to bother you any more."

"Wake up, this is a good thing."

Zhu Ying said with a smile.

Perhaps Zhang San positioned himself as a family hero in history.

In fact, Zhu Ying’s training and positioning of Zhang San’s group is equivalent to the special forces in later generations.

The inhumane and ruthless method of killing soldiers was never Zhu Ying's choice.

"I...I won't marry. I will be loyal to the boss for the rest of my life!"

Zhang San said it again, as if speaking to himself, this was the belief in his heart.

Zhu Ying's expression became serious when he heard this, and he said, "I know your loyalty, and I believe in your loyalty."

"You can be loyal to me for your whole life, but can my descendants also be loyal to me forever? What I hope is that not only you, but also your descendants and grandchildren can be loyal to me forever."

These words would sound nonsense if spoken in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty today, when spoken with Zhu Ying's current identity, the concept is completely different.

Zhang San's cold eyes broke, and he asked in disbelief: "Boss, I...I...I...can I really do this?"

Seeing that the iron-blooded Zhang San actually became shy at this time, Zhu Ying laughed and said, "Of course, you are not taking me as a joke."

"I will order someone to bring your girl from the Western Regions to the capital in a moment. You just wait patiently."

"Then I will ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to arrange an auspicious day for you two to get married directly."

Zhang San kowtowed after hearing this, and said in an extremely excited tone: "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"

"Okay, get up. I'll be the witness then." Zhu Ying said with a smile.

Then he casually asked, "Does this girl have any family?"

When Zhang San heard this, he nodded with slight hesitation.

Zhu Ying said: "Then bring their parents and others over as well and let them live in the capital."

At this point, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Then the burden on you will be even heavier. Her whole family will probably be counting on you for their livelihood, but don't worry."

"Just like I told you at the beginning, I have been keeping records of your wages over the years, and I will give them to you after you get married."

Zhang San was a little flustered and said quickly: "The boss saved me in the beginning, so I am the boss's servant and cannot be paid. This is different. This is not okay!"

Zhu Ying waved his hand to interrupt Zhang San's words and said, "How can there be no salary? It's true that I saved your life. I saved so many people in the Chamber of Commerce. They can get their salary, but why can't you?"

"Even if it's not considered wages, just consider it as a reward. Over the years, I have seen and remembered a lot of things. I am very clear about your contributions."

"Don't say anything extra, let's just leave it as it is."

After saying this, Zhu Ying was too lazy to persuade him anymore and just gave an order.

At this point, Zhang San knew he couldn't say any more.

He knelt down and kowtowed again: "Thank you, sir."

Zhu Ying took a look and said, "Don't kowtow so easily in the future. From now on, you will be the commander of my personal guards. Don't call me boss anymore. This is the imperial palace."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhang San quickly stood up and said.

Having been following Zhu Ying for so many years, he knows the boss, or the prince's character very well. If he continues, the prince will be really unhappy.

Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment, then said, "This time, let's notify your parents to come over. After all, your marriage is a big deal."

When Zhang San heard His Highness talking about his parents, a flash of panic appeared in his eyes, and he was even a little scared.

The nightmare-like past came back to Zhang San's mind with these words.
