Zhang Bao returned to Qianqing Palace to resume his life.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen had just finished handling the heavy memorial, and was sitting in front of the imperial case, closing his eyes and relaxing.
"Your Majesty, the servant is back." Zhang Bao tiptoed to the imperial desk and said, starting to sort out the noisy memorials on the imperial platform: "Ning Guogong said that in the afternoon, he will enter the palace to meet the emperor. Thank you."
When Zhu Jianshen heard this, he did not open his eyes. He just said lightly: "If the Ming Dynasty can recruit military generals who are good at fighting, and can be like Ning Guogong, who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows gains and losses, then I won't have to think so much. ah."
Although Zhu Jianshen asked Zhang Bao to tell Chen Ying that there was no need to rush into the palace to express his gratitude to the saint, as this was a favor, it did not mean that the ministers could accept it calmly.
If it were Shi Heng, he would have accepted it calmly. Otherwise, he would have held a big banquet at home and given out red envelopes to the people passing by to celebrate.
However, Chen Ying maintained his original intention and acted according to the rules.
Thank you early, this is an attitude.
During the feudal dynasty, it didn't matter if you snubbed anyone, but it was a crime to snub the emperor. Even if the emperor himself didn't say anything, the censors would not let you go.
"Yes, Your Majesty, over there with Marquis Wuyang, Your Majesty can instruct Marquis Liaoping to contact him through letters. Shi Heng cannot listen to outsiders, so he still has to listen to his eldest nephew." Zhang Bao said softly.
Zhang Bao also knew that His Majesty loved and hated Shi Heng. During the war, it was love. Once the war stopped for a moment, Shi Heng began to act like a monster, putting His Majesty the Emperor in a difficult situation.
"He doesn't listen to anyone. Well, to say the least, I am quite ridiculous. I am just playing tricks with the civil servants. I didn't expect that I would also play tricks with the military generals. I want to be reused, entrusted with important tasks, and also You have to consider whether the person is willing to do it or not." As he spoke, Zhu Jianshen opened his eyes, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
After Zhang Bao heard this, he also sighed. As the emperor's closest companion, Zhang Bao knew his position. He would say what he should say, but he would never answer a word if he shouldn't.
Of course, Zhu Jianshen was also very satisfied with this approach.
Among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, the only one who could make Zhu Jianshen express his true feelings to his face was Zhang Bao.
Being alone is not just talk.
Zhang Bao was over seventy. If he fell ill and was unable to bear the heavy responsibility, Zhu Jianshen would no longer have anyone to express his innermost thoughts to.
After Zhang Bao put away the imperial case, he changed the topic.
"Your Majesty, you are too tired. After the Censor of Xudu returns to Beijing, you might as well ask him to supervise your Majesty's southern tour. You can go to Nanjing to rest for a few months and pay homage to Taizu Emperor Gao and Empress Xiaoci Gao."
It was normal for His Majesty the Emperor to go to Nanjing in the early Ming Dynasty.
Because Nanjing is indeed the capital, but the previous emperors were unwilling to go, which also led to future generations of emperors never going to their second capital again.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the stubborn Zhu Youjian couldn't save face and refused to go to Nanjing. He was bound to live and die with the capital, which also ruined the last chance for the Ming Dynasty to revive.
But he never thought that Nanjing was originally the place of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty, and it was originally a retreat left by Emperor Yongle Zhu Di to his descendants.
The Ming Dynasty has been in the country for more than 200 years. When worshiping the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wei represents the emperor. The first person on the post to worship the ancestor is the emperor.
To put it bluntly, this is just fooling our ancestors...
Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "It's not possible now, and it won't be possible in recent years."
Father Nangong is still alive and kicking.
If you leave Beijing by yourself, doesn't this create an opportunity for others to steal your home?
Of course, I am not afraid of Zhu Qizhen stealing a house now. He has almost no chance of success. But if the Supreme Emperor doesn't use his brain and really does it, this period of history will become the biggest joke of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Later, when information becomes highly developed and clickbaitism emerges, just from this period of history, I don’t know how many half-hearted bloggers can be supported.
"I'm shocked. This father and son have a slight illness."
"Those things Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty had to say."
"The sixth child is back and steals the house with force."
The core idea is: the father goes out to fight, and the son steals the house. The father kept silent and his son went to Nanjing. The father stole the house and looked forward to it. The Ming Dynasty was orthodox and Chenghua. The father and son of Liu Liu had their hands in each other's pockets and loved and killed each other for a lifetime.
Zhang Bao also knew the concerns in His Majesty's heart, but he continued: "Your Majesty, when you go on a tour of Nanjing, almost all the generals and civil and military officials in the capital will follow you. When the time comes, I will arrange the defense of Nangong. It will be absolutely foolproof. "
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he just smiled lightly and said: "I went to Nanjing. Firstly, I came to pay homage to Emperor Taizu and Empress Xiaocigao. Secondly, I also went for the new tax system. Now the officials and gentry have not responded. , it’s too early for me to go now, let’s wait for a few years.”
Being able to endure loneliness is also a required course for emperors.
For so many years, Zhu Jianshen has been wandering around the capital. The furthest he went out was to see Cao Jixiang to see the growth of Sweet Potato.
Going to Nanjing, although it was a tiring journey all the way, could be regarded as relaxing physically and mentally, which also had great temptation for Zhu Jianshen.
Especially now that Zhu Jianshen's imperial power is not restricted at all. The officials cannot control themselves and can only rely on their own self-control.
The emperor's travel is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter involving the safety of the country, and it is also a major matter related to the authority and etiquette of the court.
For the sake of safety and majesty, nothing can be done carelessly.
The entire administrative body of the capital must follow suit, and in the short term, the channels for issuing decrees across the country must also be changed.
This is no small thing.
The entire center of the capital was almost evacuated.
The emperor's honor guard has more than 3,000 people, and there are hundreds of civil and military officials who are qualified to follow them. Including the officials below who assist in errands, there may be four to five hundred people. The standards of these people's eating, drinking and diarrhea are higher than those of the honor guard and the escort. .
The entourage of the three armies and the emperor's guard of honor must number at least thirty to forty thousand.
The front army, the middle army, and the rear army are like marching to war.
For Zhu Jianshen, the Ming Emperor was easily soluble in water, and he believed this, so he could not choose the relatively less expensive water route.
Forget about spending money.
But the point of the problem is that the emperor has to travel by land, so along the way, the production and life of the people will be greatly affected.
If something goes wrong on the road, we were originally scheduled to arrive here half a month later, but were delayed on the road and it would take a month to get here. Then the people along the way would have to stop for more than a month, which would delay their farmland. Planting or harvesting, this will cause great losses to the people.
And I can't just go see my ancestors when I have nothing to do.
If you don't go to worship your ancestors once, you will be angry. If you go there once every two years, your ancestors will be even more angry. This wasteful thing...
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's rejection once again, Zhang Bao couldn't say anything more.
Of course, Zhang Baozai also had his own selfish motives for wanting the emperor to tour the south at this time.
Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knew that His Majesty the Emperor would go to Nanjing to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao. There had been rumors of this a few years ago.
Zhang Bao knows this even more.
I am very old.
Your Majesty's visit to Nanjing is a major event for Your Majesty. Zhang Bao also participated in this major event and helped His Majesty handle this major event.
If you delay for too long, you may not be able to wait for that day.
Zhu Jianshen certainly knew what Zhang Bao was thinking.
"Zhang Daban, don't worry, you are still strong and you will definitely be able to accompany me to Nanjing."
After Zhang Bao heard this, he was moved to tears and knelt down to worship...
After Zhu Jianshen had lunch, he returned to Qianqing Palace and met with the new Duke of Ming Dynasty, Duke Ning and Chen Ying, who entered the palace to express their gratitude.
