Fengyang, the capital of China, is also the first stop of Zhu Biao's patrol, for here, Zhu Biao is no stranger, in fact, he lived in Fengyang for several years, according to the previous plan, after they arrived in Fengyang, they would stay in Fengyang for a period of time before leaving.

Li Jie opened the car window and looked at the tall Fengyang city wall in the distance, and was a little trance for a while, because just looking at the city wall, he thought that he was back in Jinling City, and he had passed by Fengyang in later generations, but this is just an inconspicuous small county town, but he didn't expect that hundreds of years ago, this was a capital city comparable to Jinling.

However, when the team approached Fengyang City, Li Jie also immediately discovered the difference between Fengyang and Jinling, on the surface, the walls of the two cities are very tall and strong, and even the architectural style is exactly the same, but when you get closer, you will find that the walls of Fengyang City are actually updated, and the copper nails on the city gate are shining.

But although Fengyang City is very new, there are not many people at the city gate, and even some sparse pulling, in contrast, the various city gates of Jinling are full of people, sometimes when there are too many people, it will also cause congestion, and the officers and soldiers need to guide to pass, in contrast, the city gate of Fengyang is much more deserted.

"Fengyang City has changed so much!" At this moment, Zhu Biao also stuck his head out of another car window, looked at the towering Fengyang City Gate and said with some emotion, he had lived in Fengyang for several years, and this was the hometown of their Zhu family, so he also had a special affection for Fengyang.

Li Jie looked at Fengyang City for a while before retracting his gaze, the reason why Fengyang City is so similar to Jinling is actually normal, because Lao Zhu had considered moving the capital to Fengyang, and even asked people to rebuild Fengyang City, everything was repaired according to the specifications of the capital, which also made Fengyang City undergo great changes, so Zhu Biao would express such feelings.

At this time, Zhu Biao also withdrew his head from the window, then looked at the chessboard in front of the two, picked up a chess piece and said, "General!" ”

"I lost!" Li Jie looked at the sparse chess pieces on his side and said helplessly, the cars and horses were all eaten up by Zhu Biao, and he only had two pawns left, if Zhu Biao didn't let him admit defeat just now, he would have stopped playing a long time ago.

"Young man, practice more chess in the future, otherwise I won't have any sense of accomplishment when I win!" Zhu Biao also shook his head at this time and said proudly, his chess skills are actually average, when he used to play chess with Lao Zhu, he was often abused, but he didn't expect Li Jiexia to be worse, which made him finally regain some confidence.

Li Jie pouted secretly, he was not interested in playing chess, but Zhu Biao was bored on the road, so he pulled himself to play chess with him, and he also saw that Zhu Biao's chess skills were not very good, and it was estimated that he could only win a rookie like himself.

"By the way, your home is near Fengyang, I'll give you a few days off when you enter Fengyang, you can go home and visit!" Zhu Biao suddenly thought that Li Jie's parents were in his hometown, so he said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I was about to talk about it too." Li Jie also thanked Zhu Biao when he heard this, his parents lived in the old house in Dingyuan County, and it was only about ten miles away from Fengyang, so he was thinking about going home to visit his parents on the way.

"Let's go, let's settle down in Fengyang first, wait for me to prepare gifts, you bring them to your parents for me, after all, it's inconvenient for me to see them!" Zhu Biao reached out at this time and patted Li Jie's shoulder and said.

Li Jie is Zhu Biao's son-in-law, Li Zhu's family is of course Zhu Biao's children's family, it stands to reason that he should also visit when he comes to Fengyang, but don't forget, Li Shanchang is still Li Jie's grandfather, Lao Zhu just killed Li Shanchang's family, and Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, should also pay attention to some influences.

"Your Highness!" Li Jie also understood Zhu Biao's painstaking efforts, and immediately thanked Zhu Biao again, speaking of which, after the coffins of Li Shanchang and others were sent back to their hometown for burial, Li Jie did not come to worship, although he and Li Shanchang had a very stiff quarrel at the beginning, but after all, death is great, as a grandchild, Li Jie went home to pay homage.

When speaking, Zhu Biao and their team finally came to the gate of Fengyang City, and the local officials had already received a notice, at this time they all stood in front of the city gate to greet them, and there were also many princes who also came, you must know that many princes of the Ming Dynasty were born in Fengyang, and they were driven out of the capital by Lao Zhu before, so many people live in Fengyang, and now I heard that Zhu Biao is coming, of course, they all go out of the city to greet them.

Li Jie accompanied Zhu Biao out of the carriage, and then saw many princes saluting Zhu Biao, some of whom Li Jie also felt familiar, it is estimated that he had seen it at Li Shanchang's birthday banquet, but he couldn't name it.

And these princes saluted Zhu Biao, and saw Li Jie standing behind Zhu Biao also had a complicated expression, as a noble, they were also very familiar with Li Jie's affairs, it is estimated that many of them would never have dreamed that after Li Shanchang fell, his grandson became the henchman of Lao Zhu's father and son.

After Zhu Biao exchanged a few words with the princes, he encouraged the local officials, but in fact, they were all useless nonsense, and then these officials led the way in front and invited Zhu Biao and others to enter the city.

After entering the city, Li Jie also looked at this central capital curiously, but he was even more disappointed to find that compared to Jinling City, Fengyang is indeed too bad, although there are many high-gate mansions built in the city, but most of them look very deserted, and even the shops on both sides of the street are sparsely populated, and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

In fact, this situation is also normal, Fengyang is not a big city in the traditional sense of Jinling, but a city that was forcibly piled up by Lao Zhu, in order to move the capital, Lao Zhu promoted a small county town to a government, and then renamed the house Fengyang, and requisitioned a large number of people to build this Fengyang City.

Even in order to make Fengyang more prosperous, Lao Zhu even ordered the rich families in the south of the Yangtze River to move to Fengyang City to live, but this behavior is completely killing chickens and eggs, the reason why those rich families are rich is because the industries in their hands are in their hometown, as a result, Lao Zhu moved them to Fengyang, and the family's business and land can not be taken care of, and many people are bankrupt.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu failed to move the capital successfully, which also made many wealthy families who were not bankrupt flee from Fengyang, of course, their household registration still belongs to Fengyang, and they also have their own houses in Fengyang, but they do not live in Fengyang all the year round, which also makes Fengyang's popularity further zero.

Li Jie walked on the streets of Fengyang, and even felt that the whole city had a feeling of an empty city, if Zhuge Liang was here back then, he didn't need to deliberately put up any empty city plans, and directly opened the city gate to show the real situation in the city, and he could scare Sima Yi away.

Fengyang is the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, of course, there is a palace in the city, and the palace was also built together when Fengyang City was built, but at that time Zhu Biao had already left Fengyang, and Lao Zhu did not move the capital because of the persuasion of Liu Bowen and others, so the palace here has not lived in any royal family since it was built.

However, Li Jie knew that if history did not change, more than ten years later, Fengyang Palace would usher in a group of royal families, among which Zhu Yunxi was among them, and there were other children and grandchildren of Zhu Biao, because after Zhu Di successfully usurped the throne, he imprisoned all Zhu Biao's lineage in Fengyang Imperial City, and Zhu Yunxi in history also died violently in Fengyang City.

The worst thing is that one of Zhu Biao's grandsons, that is, Zhu Yunwen's youngest son Zhu Wengui, was only two years old when he was imprisoned, and he has been imprisoned for 50 years.

Thinking of the above, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh secretly, I'm afraid Zhu Biao would never have dreamed that in history, his children and grandchildren would all die of old age in this Fengyang Imperial City, and they would not even be free to marry.

In the end, it was Ming Yingzong, that is, the Ming Emperor who was captured in the Tumubao Incident in history, regained the throne after returning to the Ming Dynasty, and saw Zhu Biao's children and grandchildren being imprisoned so miserably, thinking that he also had the experience of being imprisoned, so he relented and let Zhu Biao's descendants go, allowing them to regain some freedom.

Lan Yu led 5,000 people to guard the advanced city, and took over the defense of the palace, and then Zhu Biao and others entered the palace, Li Jie also looked at the Fengyang Palace curiously, but although this palace was built relatively late, it looks relatively new, but because it has been uninhabited for a long time, the palace lacks popularity, and even those eunuchs and palace maids seem to be lifeless.

Fengyang Palace is also built in accordance with the Forbidden City of Jinling, even the name of the palace is the same, Zhu Biao let people set up a banquet in the Fengtian Palace to entertain the princes and local officials, originally the Fengtian Palace is the place where the emperor performs major ceremonies and accepts the congratulations of hundreds of civil and military officials, Zhu Biao, who is the crown prince, is not qualified to set up a banquet here, but Zhu Biao is also on behalf of the emperor this time, so the specifications of the tour are the emperor's standards, of course, they are also qualified to set up a banquet here.

Li Jie accompanied Zhu Biao to attend the banquet, of course Lan Yu also accompanied him, many of the princes in the palace were Lan Yu's old acquaintances, and they were also very happy to see each other at this time, but Li Jie's identity made the princes very embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say to him, so they all faked a few words of compliment, and Li Jie had to deal with two sentences of falsehood and wrong.

By the time the banquet was over, it was not early, and Li Jie had to stay in Fengyang City for one night, and then he resigned to Zhu Biao and prepared to visit his parents in Dingyuan County, ten miles away.

When he got out of the palace, Li Jie also immediately got into the carriage and was escorted out of the city by a team of forbidden troops, he was also excited on the way, he and his parents have been separated for more than half a year, and I don't know how they are now, and there is also Di'er, he can bring a lot of snacks and snacks from the capital this time, it is estimated that this girl will definitely like it after seeing it!
