512 The Great Ming Liu Family General

He rode his horse and brought the dust all the way. In a short while, he had arrived at the front of the team. Liu Xingzuo saw the tall, fair and eye-catching governor Lu Xiangsheng of Denglai, who was riding a horse in front of the team. Seeing that he was smiling, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed. Before he could say anything, Lu Xiangsheng had already spoken first and said with a smile: "Go and see your mother first!"

Liu Xingzuo had a strong sense of gratitude on his face and did not speak much. He turned over and got off the horse, trotting towards the carriage regardless of his demeanor.

"Dad, dad..." At some point, the little girl Yue'er had already poked her head out of the carriage, stretched out her hand, and shouted loudly while waving it, with excitement in her voice. She couldn't even wait for Liu Xingzuo to pass by, so she jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards Liu Xingzuo.

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

"Dad, are you crying?" Miss Yue'er suddenly noticed that Liu Xingzuo's tears were flowing out, and hurriedly reached out to wipe it. At the same time, she said, "Dad, don't cry, my daughter, mother, grandma, and aunts are all fine!"

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

"Here!" Miss Yue'er had wiped off her father's tears, turned around and pointed to the first carriage with her hand, and said, "The carriage she had just jumped off."

When Liu Xingzuo heard the sound, he first saw the little hand pointing to his daughter. He saw that his daughter's hand was a little rough and had many calluses, which looked like a child's hand, and he couldn't help feeling sad again. Looking forward, he saw that his wife was kneeling on the side of the carriage, lifting the curtain with her hands while looking at him. In the carriage, it was his old mother, looking at him with a smile.

Liu Xingzuo's first thought was that his mother had grown a lot, with a lot of wrinkles and a lot of weight loss than before.

"Mom!" Liu Xingzuo shouted, holding his daughter in his arms and ran over a few steps. After arriving in front of the car, he put down his daughter and fell to the ground. He kowtowed while crying, and said with a sob: "You are unfilial, and you are suffering!"

The old woman's tears also flowed out. Looking at her eldest son kneeling on the ground, she quickly leaned forward and reached out to signal. At the same time, she said happily with tears in her eyes: "Zuo'er, get up quickly, mom is fine, so many people are watching!"

There were two people on the side of the carriage who had already turned over and dismounted, but Liu Xingzuo didn't see them. They were his brothers, Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingxian. After hearing the mother's orders, they both stepped forward and helped each other, and helped Liu Xingzuo up.

"elder brother!"

"Brother!"

Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingxian looked at their elder brother wearing the official uniform of the commander of the Jinyiwei, majestic. This was the emperor's first confidant, and they couldn't help but feel happy and envious.

Liu Xingzuo nodded to the two brothers, got into the carriage and knelt in front of the old man, looked at his mother carefully, and tears burst out again. Needless to ask, his mother must have suffered a lot in Liaodong!

The old woman herself was crying, but she smiled and stretched out her thin hands to wipe her tears for her son. Then she looked at Liu Xingzuo's face carefully and reached out to touch her son's hair, as if she was afraid that the things in front of her were just a dream.

When the other soldiers and generals in the team saw this scene, they not only did not have a joke, but instead showed a kind smile. They thought to themselves that such a great official as the commander of the Jinyiwei, he is also a person with a temperament, which is really good!

Suddenly, the old woman seemed to come back to her senses and quickly instructed her son: "Zuo'er, don't let Lu Zhongcheng wait! Now that the family is reunited, there is still time in the future."

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he smiled and said, "What the hell is saying is that the chief minister of the cabinet and 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 and hurriedly urged Liu Xingzuo not to delay any more.

Liu Xingzuo turned his head and looked at his wife beside him, his eyes full of tenderness, but he didn't say anything. As the old mother said, he got off the carriage, looked at the two brothers, then went up and rode his horse in parallel with Lu Xiangsheng: "I didn't expect there would be a day when I see my mother again, so Zhongcheng would laugh at me!"

Speaking of this, he once again held his fists and bowed to Lu Xiangsheng very seriously: "The kindness of Zhongcheng saving my family for thousands of miles is the grace of Xingzuoming, and remember it in his heart!"

After receiving the gratitude promise from the commander of the Jinyiwei, it can be said that if anyone wants to move Lu Xiangsheng in the future, he must pass his level first. If he wants to move the benefactor of the commander of the Jinyiwei, there is probably no official in the world of Ming Dynasty who has this weight! From this moment on, Lu Xiangsheng's official career can be said to have a significant guarantee.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally understood in his heart, but he clasped his fists to the capital and signaled: "I just did what I should do according to the emperor's will. Commander Liu asked for thanking me, he should thank the emperor in advance! Otherwise, even if I want to go to Shenyang to save your family this time, it would be impossible to succeed without the emperor's trouble of providing so much information!"

Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo nodded involuntarily and said solemnly: "I, Liu Xingzuo, don't know what kind of virtue, I, have the emperor so valued, and even my Liu family, have the emperor's grace, and it is difficult to repay you with the emperor's grace!"

If Liu Xingzuo was grateful to Emperor Chongzhen for his gratitude and would devote himself to his work, after this incident, he became a real dog of Emperor Chongzhen himself, absolutely loyal. He would bite whoever he asked him to bite him, and would do whatever he asked him to do!

Not long after, the team arrived at the gate of the capital. Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, read the imperial edict, and appointed Lu Xiang as the crown prince's grand tutor, and gave Mang tussary, and Yin's son to the Jinyiwei hundred households; Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were promoted to the lieutenant general, and were assigned to the governor of Denglai. Mao Chengzuo was granted the title of deputy general in Dongjiang, which was recognized by the court and officially replaced Mao Wenlong's original position. Liu Xingzhi was granted the title of deputy general, and other generals at all levels were rewarded.

After reading this decree, Wen Tiren took out another imperial edict, which was for Liu Xingzuo's family. The imperial edict commended Mrs. Liu for his good parenting, cultivated pillars of the court, and was able to risk his life to persuade his son to abandon the secret and turn to the light, which was actually a model for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Mrs. Liu was named the first-rank imperial lady; and although Liu Xingzuo's wife was born in the Jurchen tribe, she was wise, argued right and wrong, and knew filial piety, she was also named the second-rank imperial lady. In addition, Liu Xingzuo's deceased father was also posthumously awarded.

After reading these decrees, Wen Tiren led the cavalry into the capital and sent the ashes of the martyrs who went on this expedition to the Ming Dynasty Zhonglie Hall.

The entire ceremony took about an afternoon, and the people of the capital watched all this from beginning to end, and they kept seeing the ashes of the martyrs entering the Zhonglie Hall under the guidance of the chief minister and other civil and military officials.
