My Daming New Empire

Li Qian said with a smile: "Your Highness is serious, and this old slave is just doing his job well. The place of King Yan's Mansion is small, and after His Majesty moves in, it is difficult to arrange a clean courtyard for His Highness. His Royal Highness Zhao gave up the other courtyard of King Zhao's Mansion. The scenery there is elegant and interesting, with a special flavor of Yingtianfu."

"Then I have to make a special trip to thank Uncle Zhao Wang, please lead the way."

Li Qian also asked the little eunuch to lead a horse, and rode on it swiftly, and everyone held a grandson's honor guard, and walked westward from Yan Wang's mansion.

Li Qian, Zheng He and the others all followed Zhu Di when they were around ten years old. Zhu Di, who was only 20 years old at the time, personally taught them literature and martial arts, and raised them like his own children.

So they, a group of eunuchs who have followed Zhu Di since the time of King Yan's Mansion, are all talented in both civil and martial arts, and they are also loyal to Zhu Di.

Because Zhu Di canceled the move of the capital, the original Yanwang Mansion was not repaired or expanded, that is to say, there is no longer the magnificent North Forbidden City in later generations.

Zhao Wang was in Beiping, and was not arranged in the original Yan Wangfu.Instead, the King Zhao Mansion was rebuilt on the west side of the King Yan Mansion, and the King Yan Mansion was preserved and became the place of business.

And the other courtyard of King Zhao's Mansion is the center of great fame in later generations. Because it was built by Zhong Hai, it does have a Jiangnan charm.

600 years later, Zhou You also came here several times.But after 600 years, the scenery in front of me is quite different, which makes people feel a sense of emptiness.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head, driving away the negative thoughts in his heart.

He has never been a literati, he doesn't have so many emotions, and he doesn't want to think too much about those illusory things. What he should do is to firmly grasp the reality in front of him.

This other courtyard should be the back garden of King Zhao's Mansion. There are not many buildings, but the scenery is beautiful.It's just that it's still mid-February at this time, and most of the trees are only green shoots, which greatly reduces the scenery here.

Although there are not many houses in the other courtyard, Zhu Zhanji and the people around him are less than 100 people, and they can all live in it at a glance.

After settling down, Li Qian handed Zhu Zhanji a list. "His Royal Highness, you have already arranged the basic necessities of life in Beiping. Before the first day of March, you have half a month to recuperate here in the capital. If you want to go out for a stroll, please bring more followers. There are many soldiers, and they are all rough people, if they offend His Highness, it will be the negligence of this old slave."

Zhu Zhanji knew Li Qian's worries. Beiping originally had less than 20 people, but suddenly there were 40 or [-] soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians. Now it is overcrowded everywhere.

Most of those sergeants are domineering people. If Zhu Zhanji didn't show his grandson's guard of honor and went on tour in a low suit, it would be bad if there was a conflict.

"Eunuch Li, don't worry. Although I want to see the scenery of the Northland, I also know that Beiping is a large military camp recently, and everything will be done carefully. Does the emperor have any plans for today?"

"Your Majesty is recuperating today, and will hold a court meeting tomorrow, and will also meet with soldiers from various ministries. There will be a big banquet tomorrow night, Your Highness, please get ready."

Zhu Zhanji handed the itinerary to Li Liang. "Li Liang, I'll leave it to you to arrange my itinerary. Don't forget to remind me if there is anything to do. By the way, first send a message to Uncle Zhao Wang. When I come to Beiping, I will pay a visit to him."

In addition to Li Qian being in charge of Zhu Di's itinerary, more than half of the court's civil and military ministers who came from Nanjing also needed his troubles to arrange and establish a smooth communication system. Naturally, he couldn't stay with Zhu Zhanji all the time.

He explained to Li Liang some of Zhu Zhanji's living arrangements during this period, and then he said goodbye to Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji sent him to the gate of the other courtyard, and then turned back to the main hall of the other courtyard. .

The four women of Fenghua Xueyue had been holding back on the boat for nearly a month, and at this moment they finally disembarked, and all of them were unable to stand steadily with weak legs.

Especially Dong Xue, she was a little seasick, she finally got used to it on the boat, and now she was on land, she started to feel seasick again.

After getting off the carriage, she couldn't walk steadily, which made her cry in fright, thinking that her life was not long.

Seeing her crying, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Zhanji has seen a lot of things like dizziness in modern times.Especially those crew members who have been active in the sea for a long time, after staying on board for several months, they can walk unsteadily after landing, and it takes a few days to get used to it.

After unraveling Dongxue, Zhu Zhanji returned to the middle hall. Except for the guard sergeant of Habayashi Guard, everyone else was waiting in the hall.

"Yang Qianhu, take two Habayashi guards with you to find out where my young army is now and how it's going. Let Zhang Fengshan come to see me."

"Feng Qianhu, Jiang Qianhu, Chu Qianhu, the three of you contact the headquarters of Jinyiwei. I need to know the details of Beiping and the soldiers of the various ministries of the Northern Expedition. The three of you need to help me sort out all the generals above the command. information."

"Mr. Xu Qian, Mr. Han, I leave my safety in Beiping to you. Contact Zhao Yongliang after I go down, and I want to see him at night."

Everyone responded, only Li Liang went to help Zhu Zhanji deliver the post to Zhu Gaosui.On the side of the eunuch system, the dragons have no leader. Zhu Zhanji originally wanted them to contact Zhao Wangfu, the eunuchs in the office, and establish a set of information channels...

He looked at the remaining leaders of the eunuchs, evaluated the pros and cons of them, and said: "You should work hard, and when I return to the capital from the Northern Expedition, I will promote a young eunuch from among you. A long follower."

"Yes!"

One of them, Feng Yu named Yang Lin, boldly asked: "Your Highness, the servants and others are all related to His Highness in this life, and they should live according to His Highness's wishes."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Peking is not familiar with the place. You should establish a complete set of information channels between Zhao Wangfu and travel. Don't let me become a deaf or blind man."

Yang Lin immediately knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best!"

After sending everyone away, Zhu Zhanji went back to his room and washed his face under the service of Xia Hua in the spring breeze.

According to the self in the bronze mirror, there is only a short layer of fluff on his 16-year-old face. It will take at least four years to keep the mountain-shaped beard with the personality of his previous life.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter civil servants or military officials, no matter the emperor or farmers, all of them had beards.Civil servants generally have goatees, but military generals mainly have beards, and they are neglected to take care of them, making them look extremely greasy.

Many times, Zhu Zhanji wondered whether their beards would get into their rice bowls.

He can't control others, anyway, he will definitely retain the beard of his previous life.When he becomes the emperor, he, the emperor, will also lead a new generation of aesthetic concepts.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Zhao has prepared food and wine, waiting for His Royal Highness to come."

Zhu Zhanji responded, and said to Qiuyue: "Help me change my clothes, Li Daban, and prepare all the gifts I brought to Zhao Wangshu from the capital."

"Yes!"

The area of ​​the Yingtianfu Imperial Palace is 100 million square meters, while the regulation of the Prince's Mansion is one third, which is 33 square meters.

Prince Zhao's Mansion was built strictly according to the regulations of the Prince's Mansion. In terms of area, it is not as large as the original King Yan's Mansion that was changed to the current residence.

But 33 square meters, this area is amazing enough for ordinary people.

Because it was only from the back door to the front door, Zhu Zhanji didn't ride a horse, otherwise, it would be a short distance, and he would have to find a place to put the horse after arriving.

Although Zhu Zhanji is a grandson, he is a nephew, and Zhu Zhanji himself has not figured out who is older between the grandson and the prince.

From a long-term point of view, the grandson is of course a greater candidate for the emperor, but the prince is second only to the prince, so the prince of the vassal is not necessarily weaker than the grandson.

Zhu Zhanji just took Zhu Di's favor, so now he has a little more momentum, but it doesn't necessarily have to be as big as the prince.

Zhu Gaosui did not go out to greet him, but waited at the second gate, with his wife and concubine standing beside him.

The original Princess Zhao was the daughter of Xu Zhang, but after seven years of marriage and no children, she was abolished.

Today's Princess Zhao is the daughter of Mu Sheng, who gave birth to a son before she was made a princess, and then gave birth to another son, stabilizing the position of the princess.

The Mu family and the Zhu family have deep roots. Mu Ying is the godson of Zhu Yuanzhang. His son married a princess, and his granddaughter also married a princess.

In particular, the Mu family guarded Yunnan for generations and guarded the south gate for Daming until the fall of Daming.

Zhu Zhanji had a good impression of the Mu family, and even of this aunt, so this time he came here, not only specially brought gifts for her, but also brought gifts for her two children.

It's just that Zhu Zhanfu, the eldest son of Zhao Wang, seems to be in poor health. Now he is three years old, but he is not lively and sick.

On the other hand, the second son, Zhu Zhan, was just two years old, but he was white and fat, and he couldn't settle down for a moment.

It's just that Zhu Zhanji's impression of Zhao Wang's branch is very vague, he only knows that he has no courage to rebel.The descendants were sealed to Zhangde Mansion, which is the Anyang of the later generations, until the end of Daming and the end of it.
