Hearing these words, Zhu Biao was naturally moved. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone outside the hall. Liu Jin walked quickly and came back after listening: "Sir, the Holy One has summoned Mr. Yang to Jinshen Hall for an audience."
Yang Siyi stood up and saluted: "The Holy One has summoned me, so I will go there first."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Go ahead, I guess my father's summons to the Qing Dynasty is also about Yunnan."
"No, your highness, take care."
Keding, Yunnan, still relies on the officials of Dali for governance, so he will set off in the next few days. His Royal Highness has heavy political affairs, and I heard that he is going south to inspect the coastal guard station. He will probably not have a chance to see him again.
Looking at Yang Siyi's somewhat old back, Zhu Biao sighed, pulled out a piece of paper and wrote that Yang Zhiping, Yang Siyi's eldest son, Huguang Councilor and Political Officer, would be transferred to Yunnan: "Send this note to the Ministry of Personnel."
"promise."
Having his son by his side to take care of and help him should save a lot of effort, and it can also be regarded as his heart. There are fewer and fewer such veterans, and I don't know if there will be anyone who will follow suit.
……………
A few days later, Zhu Biao put down the secret music in his hand and looked in the direction of the sound of whips. Another morning morning had begun, but he did not have to attend it for several days.
On the other side, Chang Luohua was still reluctant to say goodbye to his son. The two little ones were full of energy and happily waving their fat hands. Obviously, they still couldn't understand that their parents were leaving them to go out to play.
Zhu Biao stood up and walked forward and stretched out his fingers for them to hold tightly. At this time, he was really reluctant to leave. He looked at the wet nurse who was holding the child and said: "I and the Crown Princess are traveling, so I will ask you to take more care of them." ."
The nannies have repeatedly promised not to mention the crime of decapitation due to poor care. This is their hope for the rest of their lives. How could they not take good care of it.
He waved them to Kunning Palace, then grabbed his wife who had unconsciously followed a few steps and said softly: "They are all trustworthy, and the queen mother is still there to look after them, so you don't have to worry."
"Well, I just think that when we come back, the child will probably be able to speak, and I feel a little sour in my heart."
After all, it was time to set off. The couple left the palace city under the escort of Jinwu Guards. They opened the way through Bingma Sijing Street and met with the Cavalry Camp outside the city gate. They met Zhang Cundao, the Cavalry General who was accompanying them. Then officially set off.
In fact, Zhu Biao originally wanted to take the sea route, and he happened to see how the newly built ships were doing. Unfortunately, he was rejected by Lao Zhu, who believed that even coastal navigation was risky and not as safe as the road.
So we can only ride thousands of horses to Pingkang. Fortunately, it is not far away, and the supplies do not need to be in the state capital along the way. It is almost enough to carry more, and there is no need to worry about disturbing the people.
The scenery along the way was beautiful, which made the two of them feel better. They forgot about their son for a moment. When they set up camp, they went hunting on horseback. Although they were screened by the Xiaoqi camp, only deer and rabbits were left behind. prey…
Speaking of which, Chahan wanted to smooth out the sharp fangs of tigers and wolves, and then let His Highness the Crown Prince have fun, but in the end he was stopped by Zhang Cundao and the commander of the Jinwu Guards. They were afraid of everything and they couldn't afford to gamble. .
Since he agreed to his wife's promise, it was natural not to rush straight away. He went around Taihu Lake and set up camp for two days. He went boating, fished and had a drink in a clay oven. It was enough to enjoy the wild fun. …
During this period, I spent time with my wife. When she was resting, she asked Zhang Cundao to talk to Chahan about the military and the situation in Liaodong. Lang Youqing was interested in concubine. The two of them were completely labeled as the East Palace, and they really had the capital to establish themselves in the Beijing camp. .
Zhu Biao sat back on the chair. His exclusive carriage was spacious and comfortable, enough to accommodate the facilities he needed to handle government affairs. Except for a slight bump, it was no different from the one in the Wenhua Palace.
"Master, this is the letter sent by Tang Shuai."
Receiving letters during the trip was much slower than usual. After all, the position was always changing. Zhu Biao took over the book and picked up the small sapphire dragon head letter opener with a hook handle to pick out the letter paper.
In addition to the usual greetings, the letter stated that in accordance with the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince, all the younger children and teenagers named Ma from Kunming City had been brought back. Along the way, they heard that the Crown Prince had left Beijing, so they specifically asked how they should resettle these people. .
Zhu Biao wrote back and ordered that all the people be sent to the Longjiang Shipyard outside the capital for resettlement. Children and teenagers could enter the shipyard as apprentices, and those who were talented, eager to learn and motivated were selected to be good at teaching navigation and shipbuilding.
It is easy to get a thousand armies but hard to find a general. The same is true for military affairs and the same is true for oceans. If Zheng He can be there, Zhu Biao will feel much more at ease in the future. Since he has the conditions to choose, why not choose talents that have been proven by history.
After enjoying the trip, the trip naturally went quickly. Within a few days, we arrived outside the city of Hangzhou. Officials, gentry and celebrities of all sizes were crowded outside the city, waiting to greet the prince. The common people were not allowed to get close, but they also gathered from a distance in a sea of people who wanted to have a good time. Nobility.
The leaders were naturally Wu Liang, the Marquis of Jiangyin, the prefect of Hangzhou and the commander of the Hangzhou Guard. It was impossible for them all to swarm over at the gate of the city to see the prince. The three of them had to represent everyone to welcome the prince into the city first, and then look at the prince. the meaning of.
Zhang Cundao arranged for the soldiers to step forward and salute Jiangyin Marquis first. Although he was a second-rank man, he was still nothing in front of these founding warriors with titles.
"The general has met the Marquis."
"You're welcome. General Zhang has had a hard time escorting His Highness on this trip."
Wu Liang also smiled and bowed his hands in greeting. No one would make enemies for no reason, not to mention that they were all members of the Donggong sect.
The rest of the people bowed in turn, and then Zhang Cundao led the three of them to the front of the prince's carriage to salute. Liu Jin lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Chahan brought the horse stool and carefully helped the prince out of the carriage.
"Wei Chen (the last general) respectfully welcomes His Highness the Crown Prince. May His Highness live in peace for the rest of his life."
"Okay, everyone is free of charge."
Zhu Biao stepped forward and bent down to help Wu Liang up, holding his arms to show his affection. After briefly saying a few words to them, he got into the car again and drove into the city, but the car was longer than Jiangyin.
The two of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment. They were really confused and had so many difficulties. In the end, Zhu Biao could only sigh and said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Liang was tall and strong with a solemn face. He was always known for his majestic and upright character. He couldn't help but have red eyes at this moment. When he first took over the task of supervising the construction of the ocean-going fleet, he really didn't expect that it would be so difficult.
He invested countless amounts of money and food, but could not see any results after a year and a half. It was really hard for him to bear the condemnation of his conscience during this difficult life. You must know that all the money and food were collected by the prince himself. , His Highness even lowered his face to talk to businessmen about profit. …
Not to mention the memories of the two of them along the way, they quickly arrived in the city and settled in a garden courtyard, which was dedicated by the Zhang family in the south of the Yangtze River and was as exquisite as the gardens of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
If Zhu Biao was the only one on this trip, he would probably stop at Chen's house. After all, he was there last time. But since he brought the princess with him, it would be inappropriate. There is no reason for a wife to live in a concubine's house.
After arriving at the place, he chatted with everyone in the main hall of the front yard, while the Crown Princess and the servants in the palace went directly to the backyard to settle down. Of course, Chang Luohua also wanted to receive the ladies of Hangzhou.
For example, the Marquis of Jiangyin, the wife of the magistrate of Hangzhou, and the old lady of the Chen family, the mistress of the Zhang family, were all waiting in the backyard. They were required to accompany the Crown Princess most of the time during this trip.
As for the slaves, they are even busier. Even though all the items here are new, they cannot be used by the prince and princess. They must be replaced with items they brought from the palace.
Zhu Biao first met with officials at all levels. He also saw it on the way just now. Hangzhou was more prosperous and lively than the last time he came. There were many restaurants and business was booming. Naturally, he had to praise and encourage these local officials.
Then there are the heads of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family, who are also considered members of the East Palace. Zhu Biao has been able to support the shipyard in building ships while raising guards in recent years, mostly because of the money and food they provide.
Moreover, when food was in short supply several times, the Jiangnan nobles helped him without any loss of face. He remembered all of this, and since it was a rare occasion, he was naturally generous with rewards.
These people have no shortage of gold, silver and jewels, but they cherish the royal objects given by the prince very much. This is the honor of being enshrined in front of the ancestral tablet and placed on the lintel of the door.
