Zhu Zhanxun came to the Security Department. Originally, Zhu Gaoxu was supposed to leave for the front line early this morning, but early in the morning Zhu Di changed his mind and asked him to stay. The Security Department needed someone to command and was responsible for the security of the Imperial City military parade.
There is no room for any safety risks in this kind of thing.
"Second uncle."
Zhu Gaoxu was assigning work to the Security Department when he heard Zhu Zhanzhen's voice.
"Zhan Zhen, you are here."
"Second uncle, I have already sent people and the emperor to apply for a curfew starting today, and also applied for the Security Department to serve as the security inspection department for the Imperial City Military Parade."
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have been prepared: "Well, I have recalled many guards leased to various prefectures. The imperial city is heavily guarded, and the safety of each prefecture is not an issue. There are currently more than 1,800 free guards in the Security Department.
Available for dispatch."
Although the guards in the Security Department are not as strong as active military personnel, because of the nature of their work, they come into contact with senior officials every day, so they are very concerned about their innocence. These guards do not need to re-examine their identities.
"Second Uncle, what do you think of this? Arrange the guards to take turns on duty at night. On the day of the military parade, arrange to go to all intersections on the main street to check all the civilians and soldiers who have yet to be reviewed."
"Do soldiers also need to be inspected?"
"Yes, safety comes first, and there must be guards on all higher floors near the main street. Any suspicious persons or troublemakers will be arrested on the spot and will be tried after the military parade."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded after thinking carefully.
As soon as Zhu Zhanzhen sat down and discussed the matter for a while, someone came to report that the crown prince had ordered him to return to the palace.
He had no choice but to hurry all the way back to the palace.
As soon as I arrived at the Prince's Hospital, I heard a cough. The Prince, who was already feeling unwell, slept late last night, and his condition worsened again, causing him to cough violently.
"Father, please take some rest."
Zhu Gaochi squeezed out a smile: "I heard that you haven't slept a wink since last night. Thank you for your hard work, cough."
"It's okay. I usually sleep a lot. If I sleep less these past two days, I'll be fine."
"You have to be serious about your work, but you also need to know how to take a reasonable rest. I am deeply gratified by your appearance in the past two days. Your brother has been organizing an army these past few days and has no free hands. If you need help, send someone to me as soon as possible.
explain."
"Thank you father."
"Ahem, don't leave the palace today. It's almost night. Go to bed early tonight."
"Father still has many things to discuss."
"It's getting late. You can't go without sleep for two days in a row. Besides, you have to know how to assign tasks and do everything by yourself. Do you have a head and six arms?"
Being too lazy is usually a problem, but in the past two days he realized that he had so many things pressing on him, and he was afraid that Zhu Zhanyi would be too tired.
"Father……"
"Let's rest first. Just get up earlier tomorrow. Things have to be done one by one. It seems to be in order now. Lu Shangshu and others are very experienced. You don't have to worry about them."
"I understand, then I'll go back to the courtyard first."
"Go ahead."
As soon as Zhu Zhanzhen returned to his small courtyard, Chu'er came out to welcome him. Seeing Zhu Zhanzhen's fatigue, Chu'er quickly welcomed him into the house and lay down on his favorite recliner.
"Your Highness, what would you like to eat tonight?"
As soon as Sang Yu finished speaking, Chu Er made a silent move and Zhu Zhanchen fell asleep.
This is the first time I have seen His Highness so tired.
…
On this day before dawn, Zhu Zhanzhen got up early. After several days of preparations, today was the day of the official military parade in the Imperial City.
Yingtian Mansion was under curfew for several days, but they really caught out a lot of people with wrong intentions, and took this opportunity to improve the security.
Lu Zhen's work efficiency is very high. There is basically no need to worry about the tasks assigned to him. As long as they are agreed upon, they can always be completed on time within the specified time. Of course, it is rare that they are completed ahead of schedule.
The newspapers have been published after expedited printing. The first printed ones were sent to Shuntian Prefecture first, while the Yingtian Prefecture ones were only published early yesterday morning.
The name of the deceased on the home page, like a cry of injustice, really aroused the indignation of the masses. Even people who usually did not care about political affairs and current affairs raised their arms and shouted for the Ming army to go to war.
Zhu Di had never encountered such soldiers and civilians who wanted him to make the Northern Expedition.
When this newspaper arrived at Shuntian Mansion, it aroused indignation among the soldiers and civilians, and the morale of the Ming army was high.
"Li Shimian's words are correct. Taizu expelled the barbarians and restored China. If I, the Ming Dynasty, still have to be bullied and plundered by the barbarians from the north, it will be unfaithful, unjust and unfilial. I will be an unfaithful, unjust and unfilial king.
"
Zhu Di stood on the tower early, watching the slowly rising sun with emotion.
"Your Majesty, the people are very enthusiastic about participating in the military parade. However, due to the limited space, only a small number of people can enter. Representatives of commercial banks that pay high taxes have been taken to the observation deck across Yong'an Street. This time, these commercial companies have expressed their willingness to arrange merchant ships to help for free.
Transportation." The Minister of War beside him said.
Zhu Di nodded symbolically: "The water transportation department will be contacted about this matter. Businessmen are also people of the Ming Dynasty. Those who are enthusiastic and willing to help are encouraged."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
At this time, Zhu Zhanji, who was dressed in military uniform, came to Zhu Di's side. Zhu Di looked at the heroic and extraordinary eldest grandson and his eyes were full of his own appearance when he was young.
The tiger-swallowing-gold-swallowing leather belt, the shoulders also have tiger head embroidered armor, and the dark black armor on the chest and legs give Zhu Zhanji a fierce look. The dark red lining is in the style of a flying fish robe.
Zhu Zhanji's face is still young, but wearing these equipment makes him look more like a soldier.
He patted Zhu Zhanji on the shoulder: "You seem to have grown taller again. You are now taller than me."
"My grandson looks just like your majesty back then." Other officials began to flatter him.
Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing next to him, secretly cursed: "These old immortals also said that I have the style of His Majesty."
When Zhu Zhanzhen arrived, everyone was already there. He had already gotten up early, but he didn't expect that he was still the last one.
"Come here Zhanxi."
Zhu Zhanzhen originally wanted to hide on the side, but unexpectedly, Zhu Di saw him and had to walk to him.
"Grandpa Huang."
"The newspaper did a great job this time. Your award will be determined after my triumphant return."
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang. This is what a grandson should do. I don't ask for rewards."
Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction: "I heard that you were asked to assist in supervising the country. How many complaints do you have?"
"Supervise the country?" The ministers nearby were talking about it. Only a few important ministers had previously decided to supervise the country. This imperial edict was to be announced during the expedition. Now that Zhu Di said it first, these uninformed ministers knew that this time
It is actually this Fifth Highness who oversees the country.
Zhu Zhanxiang had a headache: "Grandpa Huang, I am still young, inexperienced, and not prudent in my actions. But Grandpa Huang, don't worry. Grandpa Huang and his eldest and third brothers are fighting for the country on the front line. Zhanyi must do his best to assist his father in the important task of supervising the country.
.”
Zhu Zhanji, who was dressed in military uniform, smiled helplessly. Zhu Zhanzhen had not changed his temper, but Zhu Gaochi had told him last night that the princess from the Western Regions was coming to get married.
The third brother Aida, the fifth brother Kita, these two brothers are really...
Boom, boom
Facing the rising sun, the Ming Dynasty military drums sounded.
