Zhu Qizhen bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. When Xu Youzhen was there, he remained silent, but when he returned to his residence, he scolded Wang Chong bloody.

Wang Cun became a little daughter-in-law, and she was offended by both sides.

The sense of oppression that Xu Youzhen had just brought to him made Wang Cun dare not make any promises to the Emperor at this time, so he could only run away and decided not to see the Emperor again before His Majesty came to Nanjing and saw Zhao Huanong. .

Those who dare not face it all have a guilty conscience.

'Wang Cun is a eunuch.

Even though he is brave and powerful, he still has the special psychology of being needed as a eunuch.

The meaning of their existence is to make their masters happy, and the Supreme Emperor is half of his master.

This feeling of powerlessness made Wang Cun very hurt.

Although he had not seen the Supreme Emperor for several days, he had always guarded the door dutifully. Every time he heard Zhu Qizhen's roar in the room, he couldn't help but feel sad...

Of course, Wang Cun's subtle attitude toward the Supreme Emperor in Nanjing had long dissatisfied Zhao Huanong, who was still on the road.

After Xu Youzhen arrived in Nanjing, she began to prepare for the pick-up.

At this time, Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong also returned to Nanjing, and Taizu's mausoleum also began to search the mountains and clean it.

The Qiansouyuan in the northwest of Taizu's mausoleum has also been cleared away, and will be temporarily rested until His Majesty the Emperor pays homage to his ancestors.

On the second day after Zhu Jianshen arrived in Nanjing, he was going to lead civil and military officials to worship Taizu Emperor Gao, so many things were arranged in advance.

Although there was a rebellion ahead, and many high-ranking and wealthy people died in Nanjing, the impact on Nanjing as a whole was minimal at this time.

After the emperor's chariot stayed in Fengyang for the ninth day, the former army began to set off.

Chen Jing led a 20,000-strong Beijing battalion to serve as the front army and had arrived in Nanjing three days ago.

The number of Chinese troops increased from the initial 3,000 to 8,000.

At this time, the original army of Nanjing City had long been transferred to the coast. The military forces around the emperor were all from the Beijing camp, the field army with the most powerful combat effectiveness.

Fengyang is only more than two hundred miles away from Nanjing. It only took Yujia a day and a half to reach the river. As long as he crossed the river, he would reach Nanjing.

The emperor's treasure ship had long been ready at the port.

Four escort ships.

The emperor did not board the ship early. Instead, he gave the boatmen brought from the capital a period of time to inspect the five huge ships. It took a whole day and night to complete the inspection.

Of course, these ships have been docked at the port since the beginning of the year and are heavily guarded to prevent outsiders from approaching. There are also regular shipwrights who perform regular maintenance, but they still need to be checked again by craftsmen from the capital.

On the second day, Zhu Jianshen took the civil and military officials to the port.

The officials of the cabinet, the six ministers, the minister, and the generals of the third rank and above all followed the emperor on the treasure ship, while other officials had to take the escort ship.

Zhu Jianshen, accompanied by Zhao Huanong, Gao Yi and others, took the lead on the deck. A gust of river wind blew, making Zhu Jianshen feel panic.

He was really panicked.

Who knows, family members, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty took a boat...

Instead of taking a boat, you have to cross the river. The risk factor is directly high.

Although he was scared in his heart, Zhu Jianshen still had a calm expression on his face. He walked directly to the cabin without speaking to Li Xian and others who boarded the ship later.

This was Zhu Jianshen's first time taking a boat, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Although Zhu Jianshen had told Xu Youzhen not to take the waterway before, there were not as many mayors as there would be in later generations. Jiangdaqiao was a road that could not be bypassed.

Zhu Jianshen already knew it when he determined the route before.

The ship sailed on the Yangtze River for only half an hour, passing by Longjiang Bao Shipyard and Xinyingtian Shipyard successively.

The thousands of craftsmen in the ship's company did not stop working just because the emperor's fleet passed by.

Although Zhu Jianshen entered the cabin directly when he first boarded the ship, after staying in the cabin for a while, he did not feel any discomfort, so he mustered up the courage to walk out of the cabin and boarded the deck, but did not reach the railing.

He looked at the Yangtze River with some curiosity. At this time, the spring was bright, and the sunshine reflected the Yangtze River in golden waves, as if there were thousands of silver snakes swimming around, like an emerald ribbon, on the golden carpet of the Central Plains. Floating over the sky, it looked like a green jade belt, tightly tied to the giant's robe...

Such a magnificent water surface did not make Zhu Jianshen have any heroic thoughts, because his mind was blank.

Zhu Jianshen's fear of water is subconscious.

At that time, King Xiao Ming fell into the water and died. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were two emperors who lost their footing and fell into the water, which caused the root cause of the disease and extinguished the fire.

One is the righteous Zhu Houzhao, and the other is the Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao. This seems to be something destined by God...

On the other side of the Yangtze River, the city of Nanjing was bustling with activity early in the morning.

The civil and military officials dressed up early and lined up at Zhengyang Gate, facing the sun, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor. Standing at the top of the list of civil officials was Xu Youzhen, and standing at the top of the military generals was Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong.

And everyone waited for an hour.

A huge imperial guard of honor appeared on the official road.

At this time, Zhu Jianshen opened the curtain from time to time and looked at Nanjing City.

Nanjing is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the north, with abundant water resources and convenient transportation. The Qinhuai River passes around the city in the south, making it a water transportation distribution center.

This place has been known as "a dragon and a tiger roosting" since ancient times. Zhongshan has a dragon and a tiger roosting in the east, and Shicheng a tiger roosts in the west. There is Xuanwu Lake in the north, backed by Purple Mountain, with mountains on its back and water on its back, and the Jade Belt of the Yangtze River. It has the aura of a king and can be an imperial capital. But There are many disasters and bad fortunes, and anyone who does this will be a short-lived dynasty.

Except for the 103rd year of the National Movement of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the length of Nanjing as the capital was only more than 60 years, and the shortest was more than ten years.

Li Yu's "forty years of family and country" was just to satisfy the need. In fact, the Southern Tang Dynasty only had 38 years.

Even the unified Ming Dynasty, with ruthless people like Zhu Yuanzhang to control the situation, was still unavoidable in the Battle of Jingnan and the second generation moved the capital.

Of course, there are many dynasties that cannot be mentioned.

The capital was built from the Yuan Dynasty to the 26th year of Zhengzheng and was completed in the 26th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. It lasted 28 years. It is a masterpiece that follows etiquette, responds to celestial phenomena, and conforms to nature.

The architectural idea of ​​the entire city is based on the traditional political concept of "China is the world, and the world is China", in accordance with the principle of "Zhou Rites", based on the astrology of "three walls and twenty-eight constellations", combined with the Nanjing tiger sitting on the dragon's plate and the mountains surrounding it. Due to the geographical advantage of water, the capital wall was built in a different way from the old square or rectangular system.

In the first year of Chenghua, Nanjing's population reached 1.2 million. It was a giant city second only to Beijing at that time. It was the economic and cultural center of the country, and the military and political center of the south...
