In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen had just put on his crown robe and looked at Queen Zhang Yan who had been standing aside.
During the long period of preparation for the southern tour, Zhu Jianshen has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, freeing up a lot of time to accompany his children, wife, and mother.
If she leaves, she will be able to come back by the end of the year, or even by the middle of next year. Since her marriage, Zhang Yan has not been able to see the emperor every day, but it is not much different. In the past few years since entering the palace, Zhu Jianshen She was doted on in every possible way, and Zhang Yan was of course very reluctant to be separated for such a long time.
Nanjing, as the foundation for the founding of the country by Emperor Taizu Gao, was fully capable of accommodating such a large administrative team. Its well-developed water transport routes could also fully accommodate the needs of the additional population.
If the Ming Dynasty really one day completely eliminated the invasion of northern nomads and entered the Age of Discovery, Nanjing's value as the capital would far exceed that of the capital.
"Your Majesty, during this southern tour, Your Majesty must take good care of the dragon body. I am a woman and don't know much about it. But I heard the old man in the palace said that the weather in the south is very different from ours. Your Majesty. I have grown up in the palace since I was a child. If you feel uncomfortable when you get there, just come back quickly..." Zhang Yan said softly.
Zhu Jianshen smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, queen, I know it well. After I leave, the whole family will be entrusted to the queen. Thank you for your hard work, queen..."
After saying that, Zhu Jianshen took Zhang Yan's beautiful hand, and then lowered his voice and said: "I will miss the queen day and night..."
After hearing this, Zhang Yan's face suddenly turned red. She must have immediately thought of the madness last night...
After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianshen laughed out loud. At this moment, Zhao Huanong walked in: "Your Majesty, the time has come..."
When Zhu Jianshen heard this, he glanced at Zhao Huanong, and finally glanced at Zhang Yan, patted Zhang Yan's hand and said, "I'm leaving..."
Zhang Yan couldn't say goodbye anyway, so she could only nodded. Looking at Zhang Yan's pitiful face, Zhu Jian sighed deeply, then turned around and walked outside.
When Zhu Jianshen walked out of the palace, Zhang Yan said softly, "Your Majesty, please come back soon..."
Zhu Jianshen first rushed to Fengtian Palace, and then walked out of Fengtian Palace surrounded by the eunuchs such as Zhao Huanong, Gao Yi, Cheng En, Shang Ming and others.
After Zhao Huanong, Gao Yi and others, there were eunuchs carrying precious seals, a total of thirty-two people. The others were carrying jade Ruyi, Jade Qilin and other jade objects that represented imperial power.
There are hundreds of burly guards standing on both sides of the Fengtian Hall. They are holding axes and wearing armor, staring straight ahead. The axe has been the exclusive honor guard of the emperor since three thousand years ago, and it is powerful and domineering.
His Majesty the Emperor came out of the Fengtian Palace and went to the Golden Gate Bridge, looking down at the team of officials below.
Outside the palace city, large trains of soldiers and horses were fully prepared, and under the Golden Gate Bridge outside Fengtian Hall, flags were also fluttering. All civil and military officials, whether they were going to Nanjing or not, lined up neatly under the Golden Gate Bridge.
After seeing Zhu Jianshen, many officials knelt down and worshiped His Majesty the Emperor amidst the loud shouts from Honglu Temple and shouted long live.
The officials knelt down and shouted, and drum music sounded everywhere, and Zhu Jianshen slowly walked down the Golden Gate Bridge amidst the drum music...
Finally, the young emperor finally entered the next stage of his ruling career...
The emperor, who is far away in the capital, has just set out today, and the clan gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are already in chaos.
They didn't believe that the emperor's southern tour was just to pay homage to Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, and had no other purpose.
Some smart people thought that the emperor's visit was very likely for the new tax system.
Xu Youzhen also came.
They had played a little clever trick, and they were feeling very proud. At this juncture, when the emperor visited Nanjing on his southern tour, his previous pride immediately turned into panic.
Not only are they fearful, but also some officials who are colluding with the local government are even more so.
At first, when the southern tour was first mentioned, they thought it was just a gust of wind. How could His Majesty, the body of a daughter and the Nine-Five Supreme Being, travel all the way to such a far place? But now that everyone is on the road, they cannot tolerate it. I believe that they began to think of ways to save themselves. Some of them were more timid and wanted to take advantage of this year's autumn harvest to collect the money they had concealed from accounting for the past two years. However, some people were willing to risk their lives. Cai, although they knew very well that the emperor's southern tour was definitely coming for them, they still had some luck in their hearts. They probably couldn't find out about this matter...
When the officials were in the city, they followed the carriage on foot. After leaving the city, after the emperor changed carriages, they also began to get on the carriage.
During this southern tour, adhering to the principle of not disturbing the people too much, they will set up camp during the night break instead of going directly to nearby small towns.
Each yamen received their own military tent and divided areas for them.
Because of the weather conditions, Xu Youzhen reserved open spaces for camping in various counties.
After the autumn harvest, these lands have been circled and no planting is allowed.
From Beijing to Tianjin, in such a short distance, more than 500 acres of farmland and three resting places were requisitioned. Of course, the court also subsidized money as needed.
After leaving the capital, wherever they went, local officials knelt down at the road intersection to greet them. Although they could only see the luxurious royal car and not the emperor at all, they still enjoyed it...
Zhu Jianshen, who was sitting in the car, had already changed into casual clothes. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to relax. Next to him was a little palace maid, who was clumsily pouring tea and water for His Majesty the Emperor.
Gao Yi and Zhao Huanong, who had always been with the emperor, rode in different carriages, following behind the royal carriage.
"Your Majesty, use tea..." the little palace maid said in a low voice after pouring the tea.
Zhu Jianshen heard the sound, opened his eyes, picked up the jade cup in front of him and took a sip.
"It's been a long time, but I still like the rich aroma of this semen. How many years have you been in the palace..." Zhu Jianshen said with a smile, and then put the jade cup on the case again.
"Your Majesty, this slave has been in the palace for three years..."
Zhu Jianshen nodded when he heard the words, and then looked at the beautiful face of the little palace maid in front of him. It was this woman in front of him who, with her own efforts, made two very thin monarchs appear in the Ming Dynasty.
That is Ji Yao.
In fact, Zhu Jianshen was a little troubled. He originally thought that he was not lewd and a gentleman. This time he left the palace without any concubines. But just two days after leaving the palace, he couldn't bear it anymore.
During the rest last night, he favored a little palace maid. This was not a big deal, but when His Majesty the Emperor was summing up after the battle, he suddenly learned that the little palace maid he favored turned out to be a Yao people named Ji Yao.
And in Zhu Jianshen's detailed investigation, the identity of this little palace maid was determined. She is very likely to be the biological mother of Emperor Xiaozong in real history, the grandfather of Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, and his own inner court housekeeper Ji Yao.
This made Zhu Jianshen much more interested.
Of course, most of the interest comes from Zhu Houzhao, a grandson who is so tough that he can fight a tiger. Who doesn't like it...
If I live a few more years, should I be able to see my eldest grandson, Zhu Houzhao?
After being pampered last night, Gao Yi and Zhao Huanong, who were waiting in the car for the shift, were kicked out of his car today and replaced by Ji Yao.
Ji Yao seemed to be at a loss for the emperor's arrangement. She was just a vase and was not very skilled at making tea. Even when summoning people for His Majesty, her voice seemed a little quiet...
