While Zhu Houzhao was preparing, there was still a lot of noise in the court.

However, this kind of noise doesn't mean much to Zhu Houzhao, and he doesn't care very much, because he knows that someone will settle it for him.

As an emperor, the hardest thing is that there is no one to do things for you.

Whether it is a loyal minister or a traitor, as long as someone does things for you, your power is there, so this is also the reason why the emperor needs to raise some courtiers.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty preferred to raise eunuchs, in a word, when there is really no way, they will choose to do things for you.

You must know that these ministers in the court are not always on your side.

When those ministers stand against you, you need to have enough strength to suppress them, or you, the emperor, will not be able to do it. This means that the imperial power has lost control of the world, which Zhu Houzhao knows very well.

This time is different, this time the top of the Ming Dynasty has reached a unified opinion.

Everyone in the cabinet is in favor of it, everyone in the household department is in favor of it, and the main thing is that they do it, so it doesn't have much to do with other people.

Even if other people oppose it, it's useless, and with the support of Xun Gui and Xun Qi, things will naturally come to pass.

It is useless for others to object, because for Zhu Houzhao, this matter is already a foregone conclusion.

The reason why the nobles and relatives agreed was very simple, on the one hand, it was to take Zhu Houzhao's sycophants, and on the other hand, it was also to take revenge.

In addition, the taxes of the nobles and relatives are collected by the tax department, why are the taxes of your civil officials not?

This kind of schadenfreude mentality, honorable and honorable relatives they have. Watching one's enemies be unlucky, even if they don't get any benefits, they must be happy, and they must do what they do.

The disturbances in the court did not interfere with Zhu Houzhao, and he had already begun to gather people and horses to prepare to go to Nanjing.

It is not very difficult for the north to implement this policy, whether it is to clear the acres of land or collect taxes, because it is close to the capital, there is anything that can be sent over at any time, and there is a large army in the capital, and no one dares to make trouble.

But the south is different, it is like a quagmire, and there are some whips in the imperial court that cannot reach.

In addition, there are a lot of messy things in the south, so Zhu Houzhao decided to go in person.

Looking at his son who walked in from the outside, Zhu Youzhang's face was a little unsightly.

My son is going to Jiangnan again......

People say that Jiangnan is good, the mountains and rivers are good, and they want to go too.

After being an emperor for so many years, he has never left the Forbidden City.

Look at his son again, he has been running around all day long, he has been to Liaodong, he has been to the northwest, he has seen the snow-capped mountains and meadows, he has seen the heroic soul of the desert, he has also been to Jiangnan, he has seen small bridges and flowing waters, and this time he is going to Jiangnan again.

To be honest, Zhu Youzhu was jealous, and he even had an idea to let his son supervise the country in the capital and go to Jiangnan by himself.

As for whether he can do it, Zhu Youzhu doesn't think he can't do it, but this idea was extinguished as soon as it arose.

It's okay for your son to run to the south, but if you, the emperor, also run over, you will definitely be opposed by the courtiers.

"You're here to quit?" Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao and tried to calm his tone as much as possible.

He was afraid that his son would hear his unhappiness and even the sour taste, so he tried to keep his face expressionless.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know why his father was like this, he thought it was something in the court.

But when things come to this point, Dad has no other choice but to stand in front.

Zhu Houzhao bowed down and said, "Yes, father, the son is here to resign." ”

No matter how he looks at his son, he looks eager to try, Zhu Youzhu feels that his heart is even more blocked, so he doesn't want to continue talking to his son.

He didn't even want to see his son's face again, so he said, "Okay, you can go." ”

Originally, Zhu Houzhao wanted to say more, but when he saw the sour smell of his father's body, he could only choose to turn around and leave.

While walking, Zhu Houzhao was still very curious in his heart, what happened to Dad?

But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure it out.

Is it menopause?

It stands to reason that it shouldn't, it's not old yet. Zhu Houzhao could only shake his head and go to his mother.

Since having a younger sister, my mother doesn't care much about her son running around, maybe she is used to it.

stayed here for an afternoon, and returned to Xianyang Palace in the evening, Zhu Houzhao needed to accompany the crown princess.

Speaking of which, I really don't spend much time with her, and I run around all day, but this time I shouldn't be there for too long.

After this night, Zhu Houzhao set off early the next morning.

He did not choose to take a boat, but to act with the army.

This time, in addition to the three thousand Black Dragon Guards, there are an additional two thousand Black Dragon Army foot soldiers, and there are also three hundred personal guards, these three hundred people are very powerful existences.

Zhu Houzhao chooses the best of the best, and everyone has some unique skills, whether it is fighting on horseback, street fighting, night raids, or even armed swimming, these people have no problem.

They are Zhu Houzhao's personal guards and protect Zhu Houzhao's safety.

The group left the capital and marched towards the south.

Along the way, all the local officials who came to meet and stammered were blocked by Zhu Houzhao, and he didn't want to disturb the place.

Wherever the Black Dragon Army passed, they didn't even enter the city. As for the things that the army needed, all of them were purchased by the local Qiwei Zhai, and they went to Nanjing all the way.

The news that Zhu Houzhao was coming to Nanjing naturally spread to Nanjing like wings.

The people here in Nanjing are naturally impetuous, and some people think about how to befriend His Royal Highness the Prince, and then soar into the sky.

Some people think that they are afraid, the last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Yangzhou, the entire Jiangnan was full of heads. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here again, and it is still for the matter of taxes, and the devil knows how many people will be killed.

One of them is also more cautious, and that is the Duke of Wei. For them in Nanjing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is relatively far away, but they didn't expect that this time they really came, and their family would definitely not be able to escape.

Therefore, the Duke of Wei was more worried, and he didn't know what the attitude of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was.

You must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just cleaned up a group of nobles and relatives recently, if he really wants to catch any tricks in his own family, then I am afraid that he will deal with it without mercy, which is a little difficult to do.

No matter what these people think, but Zhu Houzhao is here, and there is no way to change this fact.

So Nanjing is still busy, ready to welcome the arrival of the Ming prince.

In such an atmosphere, Zhu Houzhao came to Nanjing.
