"Inform the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to greet you at Yongding Gate. The etiquette that needs to be done is over, and the rest will follow King Fu himself! No interference!"
"In addition, clean up the mansion of Duke Chengguo and give it to Prince Fu temporarily!"
"As for when he comes to see me, it's up to him!"
"The manpower to keep an eye on each vassal king will be doubled again. If anyone with unknown influence comes into contact with the vassal king, they will be intercepted and killed directly outside the city!"
"I understand!"
After Li Ruolian responded, he hesitated for a moment and seemed to have something to say.
After thinking for a while, he whispered: "Your Majesty, according to the investigation by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang people, many people from other forces have recently come to the capital.
They disguised themselves as caravans, merchants, etc. Although they were better disguised, we still found some, about a hundred of them. Do you want me to arrange for someone to clean them out secretly? "
"Not needed for the time being, but keep an eye on it and wait for my will!"
Li Ruolian exited Dongnuan Pavilion with a solemn expression.
In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen gently touched the exquisite hand warmer with his hands and fell into deep thought.
Since he ascended the throne, King Fu has been very satisfied with his performance. Going to Beijing now is nothing more than to express his goodwill, or to give him a reason to attack the feudal king.
But the question is, how should he deal with or place his uncle.
Even if King Fu surrenders, will the family property be confiscated? How much did you collect and leave for them? Do you want to reduce your title? Will he be allowed to return to his fiefdom? Every problem creates a ripple effect.
Not only King Fu, but also more than twenty other feudal kings. It is estimated that there are at least hundreds of spies from various feudal kings and other forces in Beijing at this moment waiting to deal with the news about King Fu.
The King of Qin in Xi'an, the King of Jin in Taiyuan, and the King of Datong all had their own problems. They were punished, and the other vassal kings had nothing to say.
But if they were directly deprived of the throne of the vassal, or if Jin Yiwei was given a reason for rebellion, or if they were deprived of the throne on charges of being a fish and meat village, bullying men and women, occupying fields, etc., there was a chance that the vassal king would riot.
The vassal kings may still be hesitating, but under the instigation of other forces, such as the Kong family, Jiangnan forces, Jiannu, Mongolian tribes, Fusang, etc., will the vassal kings still stick to it?
If you don't, you will be cut off from the vassal, and your glory, wealth, etc. will disappear.
It might be a narrow escape if you go against it, but it might be a way out. What if you succeed and become a king on your own?
No foundation? No means? What if the feudal lord copies homework?
With money and connections, he raised a team of tens of thousands of people, robbed all the land of the wealthy merchants and gentry in the territory, and then distributed it directly to the people.
Didn't Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong always pull up their teams in this way in history?
Not to mention too much, as long as there are five or six self-proclaimed kings, it will take at least two or three years for Ming Dynasty to restore Qingming again.
Some time ago, I was looking forward to King Fu coming to the capital, but now I am a little afraid of King Fu coming to the capital.
"That's all, let's wait until Prince Fu comes to Beijing!"
After a while, the hand warmer had cooled down, and Chongzhen came to his senses, muttered to himself, and then picked up the memorials on the dragon desk to review them.
Three days later, at Chenshi, the sun had risen, and the reflection of the white snow was extremely dazzling.
Outside Yongding in Beijing, Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, and Cheng Xian, the Minister of Honglu Temple, squinted and looked into the distance. Behind them were the officials of the two ministries and the ritual and music honor guard.
Qianmen Street from Wupai Tower in Yongding Gate through Zhengyang Gate to Daming Gate is the most prosperous street in the entire city of Beijing.
The cloth tent is spread out high and lined with vertical and horizontal aisles. There are everything from antiques, calligraphy and paintings, silk and leather goods, pens, inks, papers and inkstones to clothes and cloth, knives, scissors, ceramics, paper flowers and playthings, one after another.
At this moment, the snow on the ground has been cleared away spontaneously by the shops on both sides, exposing the bluestone tiles on the ground.
There is an endless stream of people on the street. It seems that as the New Year is approaching, there are more people, but these people are looking at Yongding Gate from time to time.
The fact that King Fu went to Beijing privately without receiving the imperial edict and talisman from the emperor had already spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
According to the estimates of the merchants entering Beijing, today is the day when King Fu enters Beijing, and the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple outside the city are proof of this.
What made the people curious was the attitude of King Fu and the Emperor.
King Fu traveled twenty to thirty miles every day, and he would visit every famous and unique place along the way.
Whenever there are any special delicacies, you have to go there to try them out, or even stay there for a few days, which is extremely arrogant.
And the emperor's attitude is even more puzzling. He doesn't care, doesn't ask, doesn't urge, as if he doesn't know about this matter.
King Fu's visit to Beijing foreshadowed the court's attitude towards the vassal kings.
If they deal with it the same way as King Qin, King Dai, and King Jin, the people who will ultimately benefit will be them, so they are so concerned.
As the sun rose high, a mile outside Yongding Gate, more than a hundred riders surrounded an extremely luxurious carriage.
Chen Chang'an, the left chief of Prince Fu's Mansion beside the carriage, glanced at the city gate and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, one mile ahead is the Yongding Gate. According to the news from the Jinyi Guards two days ago, the city gate is where the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple are. Coming to greet you!”
Crunch…
The door of the carriage was opened, and King Fu, dressed in casual clothes, got out of the carriage and stood on the shaft (front room) of the carriage.
Looking at the towering city wall crawling on the ground like a giant dragon, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
"It's been fifteen years and I'm finally back in this fucking place again!"
"Hey, this journey has been so comfortable. From the time I was born to now, these two months have been the most comfortable!"
“It’s thanks to my eldest nephew!”
…
Listening to his king's self-deprecation, Chen Changan complained in his heart.
My king is feeling comfortable, but he was very frightened all the way up here.
The king said that he would come to Beijing with great fanfare. He also guessed the king's intention, but he did not expect that it would be in such a grand way. It was simply provoking the emperor.
As a result, he couldn't eat well or sleep well on the way, for fear that one day he would be killed by the Jin Yiwei who was watching from a distance.
My boss has gained at least ten pounds by visual inspection, but I have also lost at least ten pounds.
"Let's go to the city!"
After saying this, Prince Fu got into the carriage again, and then the carriage slowly headed towards the city gate.
Looking at the carriage approaching slowly at the city gate, Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, waved his right hand, and the ritual music started. By the time the carriage arrived in front of the city gate, the ritual music had just finished.
"Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, Cheng Xian, the Minister of Honglu Temple, and the officials of the two houses have met His Royal Highness Prince Fu!"
PS: There is a stipulation in the Ming Dynasty Hui Dian that all ministers who see the vassal king must bow down as ministers!
"No gift!"
Prince Fu opened the window of the carriage, looked at the two of them and said calmly: "You will guide which procedures should be followed, and I will cooperate!"
"Thank you for your understanding, His Royal Highness Prince Fu!"
Liu Zongzhou thanked him and then said: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu, enter the outer city through Yongding Gate, then pass through Qianmen East Street and enter...
The last one is your residence. Your Majesty asked your ministers to clear out the Chengguo Palace as your residence! "
PS: There are many controversies about King Fu, and there are even more unofficial histories. Everyone sees different historical materials. The character creation and plot of the novel require it, so there is no need to argue over this!
