The grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with Zhu Yunxi. On the contrary, if the kings have close relations and are in the same spirit with each other, he, the crown prince and grandson, will not be able to sleep.
It is a good thing that there is not much harmony between feudal lords.
It was night, and there was silence outside the window. Zhu Yunxi did not sleep in the room, but looked up at the stars, thinking secretly.
After a long time, I sat back at the table, spread out my pen and paper, and started writing quickly.
The two letters were written in one stroke. After drying the ink, he called out the door and spread the word that Duke Kai had come to see the orphan!
Soon after, Chang Sheng came to the door while arranging his clothes, Your Highness, are you looking for me?
Zhu Yunxi pushed open the door and waved to the guard to step back. Then he turned around and Chang Sheng followed him into the house.
There are two letters here! Zhu Yunxi put the letters into the envelope and said sternly, find two people and send them back to the capital immediately without delay!
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi looked solemn and did not let the guards of the East Palace handle it, but asked the Chang family to come forward, Chang Sheng knew that this matter was not trivial. He said in a low voice, Your Highness, don't worry, the people around me are all old people of the Chang family, and they depend on the Chang family for life and death.
, the most loyal and reliable!
The letters were given to He Guangyi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. One was given to him, and the other was asked to be delivered to the manager of the East Palace, the bastard! Zhu Yunxi handed the letter over and said, let the person who sent the letter tell He Guangyi that he will do his best in this matter.
If he can't handle it well, he won't be an official anymore!
Yes! I will do it now! Chang Sheng carefully collected the letter and was about to turn around and leave, but after taking two steps, he looked back and asked with concern, Your Highness, what happened in the capital? Otherwise, I will rush back overnight,
Among the garrison...
Second uncle, it's okay! Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, it's just a personal matter, no need to make a fuss!
Private matters, private matters to prepare for a rainy day.
There is never a peaceful transfer of power. Behind peace are countless secret confrontations, invisible swords and shadows, and invisible murderous intentions.
Zhu Yunxi had a hunch that some things were definitely not his random thoughts. Some things were not so-called coincidences.
That night, several fast horses left Taiyuan City overnight, and even Jin King Zhu Fan didn't know about it.
After Chang Sheng got the letter, the first person he found was the commander of the Taiyuan Guard City, Huaiqing Hou Han Xun. This man was originally Chang Yuchun's assistant general, and was later promoted to the commander due to his merit and guarded Taiyuan. With his help, naturally
You can leave the city without anyone noticing.
In the next few days, Zhu Yunxi, accompanied by Jin King Zhu Fan, carefully inspected the Taiyuan Guards and the Jin vassal troops. He also inspected various pass fortresses, pastures and other places outside Taiyuan on horseback.
Especially in the pastures, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's frontier fortresses tended to raise livestock for use as food rations. They also herded horses to imitate the life of the Hu people, and trained the soldiers to be martial and capable of fighting.
Outside Taiyuan, from Dongsheng to Xuanfu, there were a total of eighteen guards, all commanded by the King of Jin. The officers and soldiers of the eighteen guards were summoned to fight, and they came and went like the wind.
It's interesting to say that in the early years, when the King of Jin just came into power, the old man taught him step by step. He had the experience of working as a shepherd boy for the landlord's family in the early years. He let the King of Jin know how to herd sheep, how to treat war horses and lambs, and how to
The distribution of military guards, how to train the foals, etc.
Then, the frontier guards were asked to imitate the behavior of the barbarians, drinking goat's milk, using wool to keep warm, etc.
But thinking about those things, Zhu Fan didn't take it seriously. How could he, a prince, raise the lambs himself?
Among the guards in Taiyuan, there were a large number of soldiers of the Hu people. These people were responsible for herding livestock in their spare time and were elite cavalry in wartime. The King of Jin was also quite proud of this.
The loyalty of the Hu people was a symbol of the strength of the Central Plains dynasty. As it is said in the founding rituals of the Ming Dynasty, from now on the Huayi people were unified. All the people in the world were citizens of the Ming Dynasty.
After only staying for a few days, Zhu Yunxi was about to leave for Xi'an. The King of Jin repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Zhu Yunxi had already made up his mind.
When the emperor's grandson left the city, the King of Jin and Taiyuan civil and military officials sent him thirty miles outside the city.
On the occasion of their separation, the emperor's grandson presented to the Jin king five beauties from Goryeo and five eunuchs, all selected from the capital.
~~
To the west, autumn is getting stronger.
Ten days later, the emperor's grandson Yujia entered Guanzhong.
Guanzhong is surrounded by thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, bordered by the Wei River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south. It is the foundation of the emperor.
This place is the land of the pre-Qin Dynasty and the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. It is the so-called gifted man from the south and the prime minister from the north. The emperor is buried in the loess of Shaanxi. Many ancient saints are here. Holding the fertile soil in Guanzhong, they recruit the men of the old Qin to show their ambition.
The world.
King Qin's fiefdom was in Xi'an, which was called Chang'an in ancient times. It was the most powerful capital through the ages. It was more vigorous and heroic than Taiyuan, and it stood tall and majestic between heaven and earth.
It should be noted that the Xi'an Prefecture at this time was many times larger than the Xi'an of later generations. The Xi'an Prefecture of the Qin Dynasty governed six states, fourteen counties directly under the jurisdiction of the state, and seventeen counties under the jurisdiction of the state, with a population of more than one million.
The people of Qin seem to be dull and simple, but in fact they are the most martial and strong. There are countless elite soldiers and generals among the Qin vassal. In fact, in terms of strength, among all the vassals in the world, the Qin vassal is the strongest.
Hearing that Zhu Yunxi's imperial chariot had entered Guanzhong, Qin King Zhu Fang personally led the vassal king's elite cavalry and marched thirty miles out of the city to greet him. Also known as the city's hundreds of officials, they knelt in front of the city gate and set up incense tables and loess paved roads. The soldiers were on guard along the way and ordinary people were not allowed to approach.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's banner from a distance, Zhu Ping quickly dismounted his horse, trotted up to meet him, and called, "I'm here to see His Highness the Emperor Taisun!"
Huh! Zhu Yunxi reined in his horse and leaned slightly on it. There was no particularly close look on his face. He said, "Thank you, King Qin, for coming out of the city to greet me. Come into the city! I have something to ask you!"
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi looked wrong, Zhu Xiang's heart skipped a beat. He had already received a rumor that the emperor's grandson had come to Xi'an Mansion to repair him according to the old man's order.
Zhu Fang was a brave young man who stood out among the princes. But when he became an adult, he somehow started to act absurdly. And as he grew older, these things became more serious and he did not know how to restrain himself.
With a bit of sarcasm on his face, Zhu Ping didn't say much. He got on his horse and followed Zhu Yunxi towards Xi'an Mansion.
Before reaching the city gate, the sight was full of civil and military officials kneeling on the ground with great momentum. Because of welcoming him, the people near the city gate were driven away, and pedestrians were cut off on the road.
Zhu Yunxi looked slightly unhappy, what's going on? Didn't Gu say something about simplicity?
When they heard that His Highness had arrived at Xi'an Mansion, all the officials and gentry in the city were overjoyed! Zhu Fang smiled and said, they are all waiting to bathe in Heaven's grace!
God’s grace? It’s just a waste of people and money! Zhu Yunxi said displeasedly, such a big battle, loess paving the road, and splashing clean water on the street, why do these things need to be done? Who can show it?
Zhu Fang suddenly became angry and thought to himself, I am your second uncle, and you are showing off! When the old man appointed you, I was the first to kneel down to support you, you... little kid
Conscientious!
Zhu Yunxi knew that the other party must be unhappy because of his harsh words, so he sighed softly on his horse, "Second uncle, you know why I'm here! Are you not afraid of being embarrassed by making it so grand?" He waved his hand to let them
After they are separated, everyone returns to the government offices and lets the people in the city move around freely. Work when they should, and do business when they should!
Zhu Ming suddenly realized that the emperor's grandson was here to repair him at the request of the old man. The emperor's grandson didn't want to show off, so he wanted to save face for himself. If he made such a big show of things, didn't he slap himself in the face?
At that moment, all the anger in my heart disappeared, and instead I felt more grateful.
After all, he is his nephew and he knows how to think about his own face!
Tell them that it's time to disperse. Your Highness has come a long way and is tired. Please see them another day! Zhu Xi immediately ordered his own bodyguards to come forward and pass the message to other officials.
The imperial driver entered the city and went straight to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
Entering Prince Qin's Mansion, even Zhu Yunxi could not help but be a little dumbfounded.
It should be noted that the ancient city of Xi'an was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties and one of the best in the world. And the Palace of King Qin in front of us is even more magnificent and majestic than the city of Xi'an.
Whether it's the Prince of Yan's Palace or the Prince of Jin's Palace, it's simply not enough to see in front of the Prince of Qin's Palace. Even the Forbidden City may not be as magnificent as this one.
This second uncle is really.........
Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly in his heart, stopped in front of the second door connecting the front hall and the backyard of the palace, and said, King Qin, I have heard that your palace is exquisite, but I didn't expect it to be so exquisite. Even the place where the emperor lives is inferior to you!
Zhu Ping bowed slightly, cold sweat already overflowing from his head.
With a look from Zhu Yunxi, Fu Rang drove the people around him and retreated far away. In front of the pavilion, there were only two of them, their uncle and nephew.
In the eleventh year of Hongwu's reign, when you came to conquer Xi'an, Grandpa Huang gave special instructions.
The people in the pass have been exhausted since the Yuan Dynasty lost power. Now that we have brought peace to the world, and we have the work of transporting grain and paying taxes, the people have not yet rested and recuperated. After you arrive in the feudal territory, if the palace has been built, don't worry about whether it is good or bad, just live in it.
We must not continue to carry out large-scale construction projects, waste money and waste money, and increase the burden on the people!
But look at it, this palace of yours is not just a waste of money and people, but a big construction project!
Such a palace cannot be built without a few years of work!
With that said, Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Feng, "Second uncle, before your father was here, he always helped you cover up. Now that your father is gone, you still go your own way and do these things that make Grandpa Huang angry. Do you really think that your king
