In May of the first year of Yongle, the Son of Heaven drove the northern tour.

Before leaving, Zhu Di feasted on Zhu Quan, King of Ning, Zhu Sui, King of Gu, Zhu Hu, King of Zhou, and Zhu Zhi, King of Liao, in the Huagai Hall for two consecutive days.

Following the kings of Zhou and Gu, the fiefs of the kings of Ning and Liao were finally settled. King Ning changed the title to Nanchang, Jiangxi, and King Liao settled in Jingzhou. From north to south, across several provinces, even if they did not adapt, Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi did not dare to complain.

What if the emperor gets angry and takes back the fief?

During the banquet, Zhu Di held a wine glass, his eyes were red, and he was crying about his brotherhood with King Ning and others.

It's not that he is not righteous as an elder brother, but the treasury is empty, and the emperor's family has no surplus food.

Since last year, there has been a famine in Hebei and Shandong, and there have been locusts in Huai'an and Anqing in Zhili. There is not enough food for disaster relief, and it has to be transferred from nearby health centers. As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, the Tartars came looking for trouble again, and military spending was a big problem.

At this point, there really is no extra money to build a palace for the brothers.

Therefore, the political envoys in various places all command the envoys, or according to the inspection envoys, choose a place to live in first. Of course, the cost of renovation and renovation will still be paid by the imperial court.

For the sake of the country and the community, the brothers can only be temporarily wronged, and they should all support the work of the brothers. This friendship must be remembered by my brother.

After the words fell, he raised his glass, tilted his neck, and drank it all.

What else can King Ning and the others do? When it comes to this, opposition-resistance-discussion will not have an effect, so I can only nod honestly, raise my wine glass, and sincerely say that Your Majesty has an order, and the minister will obey it. Regardless of whether it is a three-division yamen or a building in front of the dynasty, in short, it can shelter from the wind and rain, and it is not a high-risk building. Where to live is not to live!

Everything is just to leave the capital early, and life under the emperor's nose is too depressing. Trapped in the palace all day long, eating and sleeping are not steady.

Zhu Quan and others knew each other very well, Zhu Di was very satisfied, and generously promised that the decoration cost would never be stingy, and the officials and craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry would be sent. After the banquet, the four people were rewarded with thousands of treasures.

Anyway, there is no need for reserves, and banknotes can be printed as you like.

The face value does not match the actual purchasing power, and it is completely out of Zhu Di's consideration.

Perfect.

In terms of fighting wars and handling state affairs, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, who was an ancient man, almost no one can leave Zhu Di's side. When encountering financial problems, Zhu Di, like his Lao Tzu, is like a mountain, prone to making mistakes, most obviously in the matter of indiscriminate printing of banknotes.

Meng Zeng wanted to remind Zhu Di that the song was well written, but he was pressed down by himself.

In what position and in what capacity did he remind the emperor?

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong for the time being, in the early years of Yongle, when he was trying to restore the Tai-Zu-Chengfa, he questioned the treasure money system set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and wanted to cut off his head or peel his skin? If you are not sure, you will not be able to do anything that will endanger your head.

Outside of Meng, not no one in the DPRK and China has noticed the hidden dangers of the treasure banknotes.

The Yuan Dynasty also issued paper money, but the paper money of the Yuan Dynasty had a reserve for issuance, and there were government credit certificates, which could be exchanged for gold and silver.

This is not the case with treasure money. After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he strictly restricted the circulation of gold and silver among the people, not to mention exchanging treasure money for gold and silver, and even copper coins could not be exchanged.

It would be strange that such banknotes do not depreciate.

Although the treasure banknote has such and such shortcomings, it has a little advantage, you can print as you want with it, and you can print as much as you want. As a reward for the vassal kings and tributary envoys, the emperor was not distressed at all.

In the eyes of the rewardees, waste paper is also rewarded by the emperor, who dares to dislike it? Even if it is for show, you must be grateful to Mu Tian, be grateful, and take this stack of waste paper back to offer.

For the government-government-officials-officials who receive salaries, it is not so happy to receive the treasure money. The face value is set to death, but when it is used, it must be discounted, which is equivalent to reducing the salary year by year in an open and honest way.

The noble military attache with the title is still gone, but the civil official who does not have a double share of Lu Mi can receive is so worried that his hair is straight, and in order to support his family, he racks his brains - greed, corruption, corruption, and fire, ice charcoal, and kicking Hu have been baked.

can't blame his low ideological consciousness, it's really that the salary given by the old Zhu family is too small, and it is difficult to eat some meat. The most striking example is Hai Jui. Checking the living standards of this benevolent brother, I have to shed tears of sympathy for the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, Emperor Yongle is more generous than his father, and his rewards for heroes are one after another.

Meng doesn't need to take risks, he doesn't need to be honored by the people below, and his living standard is also rubbing-pulling-high. With the price level at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the gold and silver rewarded several times before and after were enough for him to lie at home and stretch out his hands to eat and open his mouth, and live to his old age.

But life can't be so decadent, there must always be some pursuits.

Hard work, by the way, can reflect the value of life. Besides, the emperor's reward is always limited, and when Zheng He takes a tailwind boat when he goes to the West, the silver will definitely fly home with wings.

The loss of money was resolutely not done, Zheng He's head did not turn, and Meng also swore to turn him.

For this purpose, it is absolutely right to pull Shen Xuan and brush Emperor Yongle's favorability.

The emperor toured the north and sent it to him to brush, and if he didn't work hard, he was sorry for Emperor Yongle's good intentions.

After receiving the emperor's order to garrison Daning on his northern tour, Meng immediately summoned the commanders and envoys to discuss the arrangements during the emperor's stay.

Security work and reception work need to be taken care of.

With Zhu Gaosui here, the emperor is used to the army, and basically there will be no big situation. But things are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if something really goes wrong, no one can escape.

Meng's words were like a slap in the face, which made everyone sober up from the excitement of the face saint.

Headed by Zhu Wang, the commander of Daningdu, everyone said that Xingning Boma was the first to look forward. Xingningbo said what to do, everyone will do it, there is absolutely no second word.

Zhang Gui's slogan was shouted particularly loudly. He snubbed Meng outside Daning City, and he didn't take advantage of it. Even if he was whipped by Zhu Gaosui and stabbed in front of the emperor, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Meng Jilu brushed Zhu Di's favorability, while Zhang Gui was desperately brushing Meng Tongzhu Gaosui's favorability.

Standpoint? Face?

At this point, it's useless to think about it.

How is the princess? What about the son? It is nothing before the Son of Heaven.

After Xu Cheng's reminder, Zhang Gui figured it out and thought it through. You can't continue to use people as guns, otherwise you won't have anyone to collect your body when you die.

As the date of the emperor's northern tour approached, Beiping, Daning, Kaiping, Quanning and other places entered the first-level alert one after another.

Inventory of the territory, and at the same time strictly prevent the Tatars in the north from finding fault.

The Emperor's envoy had not yet returned from Tatar, and if it hadn't been for an accident on the way, it was very likely that he had been caught by the ghost.

Before the news was confirmed, the Son of Heaven was secretly angry, but Duoyan Sanwei grinned and sharpened his knife even harder.

When the Son of Heaven comes to the north, will the trumpet of war be far away?

The battle has begun, and the beautiful days of grabbing cattle and sheep are just around the corner!

I don't want to, I didn't wait for the Son of Heaven to set off, but the capital was born one after another.

After settling the vassal king in Beijing, the matter of moving the capital was overshadowed by the affairs of the Tatars and Uliangha, and the opposition of the courtiers gradually decreased.

The queen's health is getting better and better, and Zhu Gaochi is gradually calming down. King Ning's small movements are frequent, and sending people to stare at the overall situation will not hinder the overall situation. It's not all going well, but it's much better than when I first sat on the dragon chair.

Zhu Di was originally very happy, humming a little song and preparing to go north, but Qin Tianjian suddenly came to report that there was a lunar eclipse, just recently!

Just after the lunar eclipse, the county lord of Jiangdu was in the middle again.

The county lord of Jiangdu is the eldest daughter of Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, and the niece of Zhu Di. Although he was very unkind to Zhu Yunwen's brother, he found an opportunity to be demoted to a concubine and sent to Zhongdu to take care of him, Zhu Di was still quite good to his niece.

The title was not removed, and Yu Lu added another 300 stones, and the queen set up a banquet in Kunning Palace, and specially comforted her.

A person who was originally well, without illness or disaster, why did he suddenly die?

Geng Xuan, a guest of honor who complained of illness behind closed doors, received a Jinyi Wei frame sticker, and was invited to Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town to drink tea and chat that day.

Knowing that his son was taken away by Jinyiwei, Geng Bingwen couldn't sit still anymore. Knock on the audience to see the Son of Heaven, I don't expect to keep the eldest son's official position, I just hope to get Geng Xuan out of the edict prison. Even if he is imprisoned in Dali Temple of the Criminal Department again, it is better than falling into the hands of Jinyiwei.

Geng Bingwen, who has gone through three dynasties, does not lack political wisdom, and when he asks to see the Son of Heaven, he never mentions the iron coupon given by Zhu Yuanzhang. He knew that if the emperor really wanted to kill someone, it would be useless to put the iron coupon on the top of his head.

This point is clear to anyone who has experienced the Hongwu Dynasty.

Holding the iron coupon issued by Zhu Yuanzhang in front of Zhu Di is undoubtedly using Lao Tzu to press his son, which is easy to remind him of the various unpleasant experiences that happened during the Jingjing disaster, especially outside Jinan, and things may be worse.

Geng Bingwen thought very clearly, instead of risking the family being dragged into the court, it was better to fight the face of the old minister and cry bitterly in front of Zhu Di.

If it were him, he would be dead, and he would be able to exchange it for the safety of the whole family.

Replaced by Geng Xuan, but the old general couldn't bear it. The love of licking calves, the relatives are reluctant.

Serving the first class Hou Chaoguan, Geng Bingwen couldn't afford to bow down in the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Di looked at Geng Bingwen, looked at the old general's gray hair, and finally sighed, "Marquis Changxing, please." ”

Rong Ma has a lifetime and ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Zhu Di rarely relented once.

Geng Bingwen is a veteran of Hongwu and a hero of the founding of the country, and he stood on the wrong team when he built the text, and his qualifications are still there.

With the death of the county lord of Jiangdu, Jinyiwei has considerable room for operation. As long as Zhu Di nods, a clean-up is inevitable. Anyone who is not pleasing to the emperor will inevitably die.

Jinyiwei is only loyal to the Son of Heaven, and courtiers can not obey the emperor's decrees, but Jinyiwei can directly take people without going through the criminal department and Dali Temple.

Whether the bloody storm of the Hongwu Dynasty will be repeated in the Yongle Dynasty is only in Zhu Di's thoughts.

The county lord of Jiangdu, Geng Xuan, and Geng Bingwen are just rehearsals before the storm.

But at this moment, Zhu Di suddenly relented. This kind of thing happened to Zhu Di, which can almost be described as a miracle. Anyone who has been in contact with Zhu Di will feel incredible.

Jin Yiwei commanded Yang Duo to receive the order to release people, pondered for a long time, did not hand another note to the palace, and personally led people to send Geng Xuan out of the edict.

Outside the edict, Geng Bingwen was waiting anxiously.

The marquis's crown has been removed, and it is a little awkward.

In just two days, the person seemed to be ten years old.

"Father!"

Geng Xuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, unable to hold back tears.

Geng Bingwen hugged his fist at Yang Duo, and Yang Duo hurriedly got out of the way, "Marquis Changxing doesn't have to be like this, this official is acting on orders." ”

There was no fireworks in his words, he was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, and under the sunset, he seemed to be dyed with blood.

The face is handsome, and the lips are smiling, but it still makes people feel cold.

This kind of coldness, unlike Shen Xuan, is not intimidated by murderous aura, but like being targeted by a poisonous snake, which makes people cold to the bone.

Seeing the current Yang Duo, Meng Ding would be surprised. Aside from his looks, he has almost become a different person. Perhaps it should be said that this is the real Yang Duo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard personally appointed by Emperor Yongle.

Watching Geng Bingwen leave with Geng Xuan, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Ji Gang's eyes flashed with unwillingness.

It was he who took the sticker and personally led people to arrest Geng Xuan.

The person was arrested and was about to be tortured, but was stopped by Yang Duo's order.

If it weren't for Yang Duo's obstruction, he would definitely be able to ask a lot of "useful" things from Geng Xuan's mouth.

It is reported that in front of the county lord of Jiangdu, there was a suspicious person who appeared near the county lord's mansion, but after the county lord, this mysterious person disappeared again. Ji Gang arrested Geng Xuan in order to ask about the identity and whereabouts of this person. Maybe you can find the clues of Jianwen Yu's party, as long as it is confirmed, it will definitely be a great achievement.

Whether Emperor Jianwen died or not, who was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and what was the reason for the emperor to detain the monk who preached for Emperor Jianwen, all kinds of superimpositions, interlocking, in the mouth, but in the heart, it was already clear.

Before arresting people, Ji Gang had reported to Yang Duo, but Yang Duo still did not allow him to be tortured, which was really angry.

"Why did Ji Qianhu look like this? Is it dissatisfaction with Commander Yang? ”

Jin Yiwei commanded He Ju to make great contributions in Jingnan, and it was very unpleasant to look at Ji Gang. Such a treacherous villain, a scoundrel, how can he be worthy of the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu!

"Don't dare!"

Ji Gang hurriedly bowed his head.

He Ju snorted coldly, in the end, he didn't care about the occasion, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

Behind him, Ji Gang raised his head and looked at the direction He Ju left, his face gloomy.

Geng Xuan's arrest caused quite a stir in the DPRK and China.

The courtiers went up one after another, saying the disadvantages of the brocade guard, and asked the Son of Heaven to advise and remove the brocade guard. Some courtiers handed a post to the Marquis of Changxing, hoping that Geng Bingwen would come forward and admonish the Son of Heaven as the bitter master, asking the Son of Heaven to withdraw the brocade clothes and guards, and return the politics to Qingming.

The Marquis of Changxing sent all the posts back.

Geng Bingwen's attitude is very clear, even if he offends the Manchu Dynasty, he will definitely not come out of this.

The Duke of Wei also received the same post, and without Xu Huizu coming forward, Xu Zengshou directly blocked the person back. In order to prevent Xu Huizu from losing face, he simply used the Hou Mansion to repair it and moved into the Wei Mansion to borrow it. With this here, no one dares to continue to hand posts to Xu Huizu.

Cheng Guo Gong Qi Guo Gong and other military generals could not be counted on, and the six Tang officials and the Imperial History Yan officials could only fight alone.

When the emperor is in a bad mood, it is not uncommon to drag it down and beat a few sticks. After resting on Renzong, it is glorious to receive the court staff, and in the Yongle Dynasty, it is absolutely fatal to be knocked with a stick.

After a few times, there was an uproar in the capital, and even the side plug heard the wind.

While Meng was busy coordinating the work of Daning City, he also paid attention to the movements of the DPRK and China. I was thinking that things were going to get bigger, and the emperor's plan for the northern tour was afraid that he would die, after all, the court was unstable, and he would not be at ease when he came out.

But the facts have proved that the fierce man is a fierce man in the end, let the six heavenly officials take turns to go up and down, the officials hug their heads and hit the pillars, bow their heads and smash the stone bricks, and almost smashed the Fengtian Temple out of a few pits, Emperor Yongle still assembled the team, put on a guard of honor, and went north on schedule.

When the Son of Heaven leaves Beijing, some officials in the DPRK and China will definitely follow.

The honorables enthusiastically signed up, and the civil officials were waiting to be named.

During the northern tour of the Son of Heaven, all government affairs were delivered to the Son of Heaven.

Having trouble teleporting? Find a way to fix it.

Delays along the way? If any department is delayed, it will ask for the guilty palm print. If you don't want to lose your position, you have to urge the people below to do their best.

Xie Jin and others originally wanted to advise the Son of Heaven to act as an agent for the government. Before the song was struck, he was stopped by someone sent by the prince.

Zhu Gaochi is not a fool, he is becoming more and more cold by his father, and he uses cold-violence-force, which is enough for him. If Xie Jin and others send it, you can imagine how his father's attitude towards him will become.

I heard that there are still people who follow the path of King Zhou, intending to urge King Zhou to ask for the crown prince.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, Zhu Gaochi is covered in cold sweat. It's not helping him, it's really hurting him! Send Wang An to find out what's going on behind this. After three checks and two checks, they finally found the head of Zhu Panyan, the son of King Ning. What made Zhu Gaochi even more angry was that there was even the shadow of the princess among them.

Even if there is no direct evidence, the person who contacted King Zhou had an old relationship with the father of the princess.

After checking this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't sit still anymore.

What he can find, how can his father not know the way?

Thinking about his father's attitude towards him, the queen mother came to mention it recently, the sweat on her head became more and more urgent, she slapped the table violently, stood up, but her face suddenly turned white, her vision was blurred, and she fell forward, unconscious.

The news of Shizi's fainting alarmed Emperor Yongle and Empress Xu. No matter how disappointed Zhu Gaochi made them, he was their eldest son in the end.

The judge of the Tai Hospital and several imperial doctors on duty were all invited to the Wenhua Palace, and the princess stayed by Zhu Gaochi's side, her face was pale, but she did not cry, which was in stark contrast to the side concubine on the side.

Even so, Queen Xu didn't have much closeness to her.

"How's the son?"

"Returning to His Majesty, the prince was angry for a while, phlegm obsessed with his heart, and he woke up without any major problems."

Angry?

The court judged the truth, but Zhu Di's face did not improve in any way, obviously misunderstanding the reason for the prince's anger. Without waiting for Zhu Gaochi to wake up, he waved the sleeves of his robe and strode out of the Wenhua Palace.

Empress Xu's expression was not much better, and after Zhu Gaochi woke up, she told the princess to take care of the princess, and left quickly.

The emperor and empress arrived at the same time but left one after another, and the emperor did not wait for the prince to wake up, and it was rumored in the palace that the prince was not favored, which showed that there was indeed a thing.

There was a terrible silence in the Mandarin Hall.

Zhu Gaochi was lying on the bed, his face pale.

The princess wanted to wipe his sweat, but was dodged.

The imperial doctor personally boiled the decoction, offered it, and after the prince took the medicine, he said goodbye and left.

The eunuchs in the palace slowed their steps, and their breathing was almost inaudible.

"Zhang."

"The concubine is here."

has been married for many years, and gave birth to Zhu Gaochi's eldest son, the princess has always been valued by the prince, and such a cold tone has never appeared.

"From this day forward, you shall not step out of the temple except to greet the Queen Mother. Also, take care of the people around you. ”

"Concubine ......"

"Huh?"

"Yes, the concubine obeys."

The princess bit her lip and wanted to cry. Zhu Gaochi didn't take a second look, he was still unable to protect himself, how could he pity the princess? What's more, breaking off the princess's connection with the outside of the palace also kept her in disguise. It's better to do it yourself than to pursue it by the father and the queen mother.

"Go down. Junji asked, only saying that he was lonely and unwell. Let him study hard and honor his grandfather. ”

"The ...... of the Prince"

"I'm tired."

Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes, the princess didn't dare to say much, and took the side concubine to retreat from the side door.

The Son of Heaven was sick, but the Son of Heaven did not postpone the departure date.

The relationship between father and son has been weakened to this point, and Rao is Queen Xu has no good solution.

In addition to sighing, some courtiers had new ideas about the prince, and the king of Gaoyang County, who was far away in Kaipingwei, learned the news, sneered, and tore the letter sent to him to shreds.

"Wang Quan."

"The slave is here."

"Light a brazier, it's all burning."

"Yes."

Wang Quan bowed down and withdrew, Zhu Gaoxu was still sneering.

First the son, and now it's his turn?

The abacus is playing well, but you also have to see if you will fall into the trap!

"Come on, didn't that cowardly Timur say that there is something important to report? Bring him to Lonely. ”

"Obey."

Zhu Gaoxu tightened the sleeves of his regular clothes, his momentum was calm, and he looked more and more like Zhu Di.
