Although Zhu Youjian did not bring the honor guard when he returned, the speed of the carriage was also limited due to the road conditions and for Zhu Youjian's safety.
When Zhu Youjian arrived around the capital, it was already three days later.
Although for later generations, it would definitely take three days to travel a distance of less than 500 miles in a straight line, but for now, the speed is already quite fast.
Throughout history, in the history of emperors' travels, such a speed can definitely rank among the top three.
Don't ask why they are in the top three instead of first. That's because people have to be humble and not be too proud, right?
However, no matter how fast Zhu Youjian and his team were, they still exceeded those people's expectations, but the news had already spread to the capital before Zhu Youjian arrived in Beijing.
Without him, although the powerful local forces are now suppressed by the imperial court, the team of more than 2,000 people is not a minority after all, and there are only a few roads to Beijing.
As long as those people are not stupid and put some spies around, they may not be able to provide much information, but they will definitely get the news first about Zhu Youjian's return to Beijing.
As for whether Zhu Youjian dared to come back quietly, they were not worried at all, because everyone knew that the reason why His Majesty is Your Majesty is not because he persuades people with virtue, but because His Majesty has troops in his hands.
Everyone knows that once His Majesty is alone in another place, or if the protective force around His Majesty is insufficient, the powerful people in those places will never let him go.
Many people gathered in the Forbidden City, on the only way to Chengtian Gate.
There are 9 gates in Beijing. Chaoyangmen, Chongwenmen, Zhengyangmen, Xuanwumen, Fuchengmen, Deshengmen, Andingmen, Dongzhimen, Xizhimen, although each gate has its own meaning and function.
For example, Zhengyang Gate is commonly known as the "front gate" where the emperor's dragon carriage enters and exits.
Desheng Gate is the gate for sending troops to fight, and the word "Desheng" is inscribed on it.
Outside Xuanwu Gate is the Caishikou execution ground. Prison cars often come and go from this gate, which is known as the "Death Gate".
....
According to etiquette, the emperor should enter through Chengtian Gate, but everyone knows that the emperor hates etiquette very much. '
In recent years, Your Majesty has used the excuse that the people of the world have not yet had enough food and clothing, and the emperor cannot enjoy it, so he does not know how many complicated rituals have been simplified by abolishing them.
As for the ceremony of the nine gates, His Majesty did not take it to heart at all. Except for the use of troops against Jiannu when he first ascended the throne, and at the insistence of hundreds of officials, he saw off the warriors at Desheng Gate. His subsequent use of troops and rewards for the victorious generals did not matter at all. It has never been done at Deshengmen.
Moreover, His Majesty also plausibly said: The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. Whether an army can win or not depends not on which gate it sends troops from, but also on preparation, the courage of the soldiers, and the ability of the generals.
This is true, but it does cause dissatisfaction among many people. In this way, victory in the battle is all a matter of the army, and it has nothing to do with people like me who are well-read in poetry and books?
Moreover, His Majesty's casualness also greatly increased the difficulty of everyone's work in fooling the Emperor. @精品\/书馆*First update~~
You know, since ancient times, satisfying the people has never been what officials ultimately want. What they want is to satisfy the superiors, so that the people above them can indulge in the dream of peace in the world and everything going well. ,
Even if it leads to the destruction of the country, they will continue to talk and try their best not to let the people above wake up. .
