Chapter 706: A Trip to Hangzhou
Yang Zheng saw that these palaces looked like a huge pearl embedded in the mountains from a distance, and it looked like a silver mirror lying flat in the valley deformed, its mountains were continuous, surrounded by green trees, blue sky and clear water, all in one, and the scenery was indeed extraordinary. At that time, Zhu Di often patrolled here, took refuge in the summer, played, and met ministers and envoys in the palace to discuss and deal with national affairs.
Just as Yang Zheng was admiring the palace, the treasure ship had begun to slow down, and it seemed that it was ready to anchor.
Chen Wu walked out at this time, hugged his fists at Yang Zheng and said: "Your Highness, we have arrived, it's time to get off the boat in a while, Lord Yang asked the servants to ask you, where will we live in the palace for a while?" “
Since the palace was built, the emperor has been vacant except for one or two occasional residences, but the royal things, even if they are empty, they need to spend money to build, so they are repaired empty, empty repairs, and they cost a lot of silver, and most of these silver are produced by local officials in Jiangnan.
The emperor saw that this was indeed the case, so he stopped the renovation of the palace, and there are many post stations around these suspended palaces, which were set up in time for the government affairs handled by the emperor to be sent to the imperial court in time, and now this has long become a place for princes and ministers to stop, making these post stations more magnificent than the palace.
Yang Zheng looked at the dilapidated palace, he really didn't have any interest in living there, and after thinking about it, he said: "This matter is not in a hurry, a few adults will accompany me to go down for a walk later, it's really not good, it's okay to stay on this boat for another night!" “
Chen Wu answered, bowed his head and entered the boat, apparently to sue Yang Zheng for instructions.
The boat swayed for a while, and then it staggered to a stop, Yang Zheng had been on a boat in his previous life, and knew that this was a dock, and glanced at the excited crew at the dock, and felt a little big when he boarded.
Smooth sailing, the building boat arrived at the wharf in a moment's time, those palace wharves that were blocked by the officials, as if like the dilapidated Afang Palace of Qin Shi Huang, with a sense of desolation, these palaces were repaired during the Zhu Di period, Zhu Di spent most of his life in Beijing and Nanjing, plus the perennial northern tour, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as the main artery connecting the south of the Yangtze River and the north, Zhu Di's dragon boat did not walk on this river, but after the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasty, the canal was silted up, in order to facilitate walking Beijing and Nanjing, Zhu Di ordered the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Song Li to govern the river, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the river, Song Li is a very capable water conservancy expert, he completed the task, after which the governor of Cao Yun Chen Xuan further dredged the river, since then the north and south Cao Yun unimpeded, the so-called "Antarctic River estuary, north end of the Datong Bridge, more than 3,000 miles", these palaces were built at that time.
Yang Zheng saw that these palaces looked like a huge pearl embedded in the mountains from a distance, and it looked like a silver mirror lying flat in the valley deformed, its mountains were continuous, surrounded by green trees, blue sky and clear water, all in one, and the scenery was indeed extraordinary. At that time, Zhu Di often patrolled here, took refuge in the summer, played, and met ministers and envoys in the palace to discuss and deal with national affairs.

Chen Wu answered, bowed his head and entered the boat, apparently to sue Yang Zheng for instructions.
The boat swayed for a while, and then it staggered to a stop, Yang Zheng had been on a ship in his previous life, and knew that this was a dock, and glanced at the excited crew at the dock, and felt a little big when he boarded. Those officials who are in a hurry to talk to him have been waiting for a long time.
The officials, headed by the prefect of Hangzhou, followed by the political envoys of Zhejiang, the envoys of the inspectors, and the commanders of the envoys, saw that the ship was stopped, and walked up to the dock one after another, and began to salute the boat.
This inspection of Hangzhou also has the purpose of attracting the King of Han, so at this time, looking at the dense saluting officials of Hangzhou, Yang Zheng also enjoyed these kneeling gifts as a matter of course, because in addition to the large and small officials in Hangzhou, there are many local celebrities, celebrities, and even many people are among them, so in the past, this was a very prosperous and lively wharf, because of the mooring of Yang Zhenglou's boat, it became more and more lively, the ships coming and going, the workers who passed, There were also hundreds of Ming soldiers in strong costumes who walked down from the building boat, and the news of the prince's arrival in Hangzhou spread in an instant.
Fan Zhong was in charge of the guard work for the first time, and he couldn't help but look a little nervous, looking at the crowd of onlookers on the dock, he secretly touched a cold sweat, and divided the three hundred soldiers into a team of ten people, and the five teams surrounded Yang Zheng, Yang Shiqi, Hu Hu, Chen Wu and others tightly, while the other five teams of people nervously maintained order a few feet away from Yang Zheng to avoid anyone approaching.
Yang Zheng didn't think it was a big deal for the prince to go on patrol, and he took the lead in walking out, but the result was completely unexpected to him, but he was dressed in Confucian clothes, and slowly walked down the boat, and the crowd that had just maintained a calm in front of him immediately became commotion.
In the crowd, no one shouted first: "Look, that's the current prince, that is Lord Yang Shiqi, a member of the cabinet of the current dynasty, or Lord Hu Hu——? “
Among the three names, there is undoubtedly a great appeal among the people, and the exclamating crowd once again stirred, shouting that the prince's voice rose and fell with each other, this scene was really unexpected by Yang Zheng, he maintained a personable demeanor, and almost didn't wave his hand and said: "Comrades have worked hard!" Finally, he saw the opportunity quickly, blurted out the words, and swallowed them back.
The prefect of Hangzhou seemed to be a little satisfied with the scene, and then took the lead to get off the boat, and threw a look at the crowd, and the waiting greeting team immediately beat the gongs and drums, and the crackling sound of firecrackers and the crowd came and went, and the wharf was very lively for a while.
The shouts on the river, the sound of firecrackers and the noise of gongs and drums, they stopped and stood at the bow of the boat to watch.
Such a scene made Fan Zhong worried, for fear that Yang Zheng would make a mistake and he couldn't afford this heavy rule, so when he saw that Yang Zheng was going to go downstairs, he didn't dare to slack off, and personally led more than 100 soldiers to follow first, and the soldiers were left and right, guarding him in the middle.
Yang Zheng was followed by Yang Shiqi and Hu Hu, and the three of them slowly descended, and immediately ushered in a loud welcome, what a prince, Lord Yang, Lord Hu drove Hangzhou and the like.
Yang Zheng didn't expect that the mode of welcoming people at this time was no different from his previous life, he shook his head with a wry smile, Yang Shiqi waved his hand at the crowd with great restraint, Yang Shiqi was a member of the cabinet of the dynasty, which immediately caused a lot of cheers.
After a long period of cheering, the lords of Hangzhou greeted them, and everyone was headed by Liao Qing, the political envoy, and Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew the Zhongshu Province from the thirteenth year of Hu Weiyong's case, and the Beijing Division and the country's twelve Cheng announced that the political envoys belonged directly to the six departments; The rank of the political envoy was changed from the third rank to the fourth grade, and the political participation was from the fourth grade. In 14 years, the left and right senators were added, and there were four products; Each political envoy department added one political envoy to become the left and right two political envoys. In 15 years, the Yunnan Political Department was established. In the twenty-second year, the political envoy was appointed as the second grade. During the Jianwen period, the political envoys were reduced to three products, and reduced to one person each, and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty restored the old system.
In the first year of Yongle, Beiping Cheng announced that the political envoy department was upgraded to "Xingzai". For five years, the Cochin Cloth Administration Department will be established; In 11 years, the Guizhou Political Department was established. At this time, the official position of the political envoy was very large, and the prefect of Hangzhou followed behind. Liao Qing stepped forward and hugged his fist at Yang Zheng and said, "Your Highness has worked hard all the way, and you will lead your lords to welcome Your Highness!" “
Yang Zheng is the first time in Hangzhou to be such a big official, seeing that this political envoy is only about fifty years old, although he is a civil official, but he is extremely tall, it is rare to have a bit of the fierce spirit of a military general in his appearance, and his bearing is really extraordinary. The prefect behind him, although he is also a person with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but he lacks some bravery, and his bearing is still a little worse.
Yang Zheng is now the crown prince, the prince of the country, that is, the future emperor, these officials still rely on the promotion of the prince, so they naturally grovel to Yang Zheng and flatter him to the fullest.
Yang Zheng has seen such scenes there on weekdays, those meaty words, words of praise, endlessly, let him understand why some emperors work hard, but in the end they still end up with a faint monarch and a mediocre monarch, this is really no wonder they can hear those outrageous words in such a scene, not to mention those emperors who grew up in the deep palace.
