Volume 4 Chapter 105 Resigned to fate

There are many emperors in history who like to go on patrol, such as Emperor Yang of Sui, this guy even built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal for the convenience of travel, and for example, Emperor Zhengde of Ming Wuzong, who also had nothing to do and ran around, but accidentally fell into the water, infected with the wind cold, and hung up.

Jiajing is more honest than his cousin Zhu Houzhao, but he is not out of the palace, historically, he mainly went to Chengtianfu to worship his parents, and other places, it seems that he has not been there much.

However, at this time, it is different, because there is a railway, and the speed of the fire dragon car is faster than that of Maxima, even if you go to Jinling City, the southern capital, it will be a matter of a few days, and it is very convenient.

Originally, Jiajing had long wanted to go to Fengyang Mansion in the central capital and Yingtianfu in the southern capital for a turn, but this was the resurgence of the Japanese Invaders, the Tartars entering the Kou, and the death of the prince or something, and he never made it.

At this time, the funeral affairs of Zhu Zaili, the prince of Zhuang Jing, were completed, and the court became more and more stable, and he finally put the Jinling ancestor worship on the agenda.

He went to Fengyang Mansion and Yingtianfu in the southern capital, not for fun, he really wanted to worship his ancestors, because his identity was relatively special.

He is not the orthodox heir to the royal family, it is only because Emperor Zhengde of Ming Wuzong has no queen that he was picked out from the royal family and inherited the throne.

The reason why he launched the Great Rites Debate and insisted on fighting for his father for the name of emperor was because of his identity.

If his father is just a prince, wouldn't he be an unjustified emperor!

Therefore, his father must be named emperor, even if most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty oppose it.

The reason why he wants to go to Fengyang Mansion in the central capital and Yingtianfu in the southern capital to worship his ancestors is also because of his identity, he wants to tell the world that he Zhu Houxi is also an orthodox royal bloodline, and there is no problem at all to inherit the unification.

The emperor's tour is generally opposed by the ministers, because the emperor has too many things, and many things must be nodded by them personally, and if the emperor stays outside for too long, the whole country will come to a standstill.

Emperor Zhengde of Ming Wuzong is an obvious example, this guy even forgot about the imperial examination in order to go out to play, as a result, the palace examination of Zhengde in 16 years could not be held because he was not in the capital, and hundreds of tributes waited for more than a year, until Jiajing succeeded to the throne and got the Jinshi fame.

There are a lot of things like this, if the emperor goes out to play, the whole court will have to mess up.

Therefore, in general, when the emperor puts forward the idea of going on patrol, many ministers will jump out to dissuade him.

However, no one said anything after Jiajing put forward the idea of going on patrol this time, as for the reasons, there are many, and the ministers have their own plans, and so on.

For example, Yan Song's party, that is a typical sycophant, as long as the emperor doesn't care about their corruption, then they are wise and martial, go out on patrol or something, it's their business, Jiajing had better live outside and not come back, so that they can be unscrupulous and greedy.

For example, Yang Ming's lineage, they also saw that Yang Cong's face was not angry, because Yang Cong said that the emperor also went on a fire dragon car on this tour, and he could come back in a few days, and he would not delay anything at all, so everyone should not bother the emperor and save the emperor from being unhappy.

As for why Yang Cong said this, no one knows, and no one wants to get to the bottom of it, after all, as he said, the emperor will only go out for a few days, what can he delay?

Jiajing didn't pay attention to this abnormal situation, after all, he was used to being willful, and the officials who dared to oppose him in the DPRK and China were almost cleaned up by him using various means, and no one objected to his patrol, which he thought was normal.

Although the patrol time is not long, the pomp and circumstance are not small at all, Jiajing is very good-looking, the forbidden army is at least tens of thousands, brocade guards, accompanying eunuchs, accompanying palace maids, that are all thousands, and the accompanying officials, there can be no less.

Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, must accompany him, if nothing else, just say that this guy's ability to slap horses is unmatched, without this guy by his side, Jiajing really doesn't adapt very much.

Yang Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, must also accompany him, because of the railway, fire dragon car, etc., these novelties are understood by Yang Cong, and Jiajing's curiosity is also very strong, if Yang Cong is not by his side to solve his doubts, he is also not adaptable.

In addition, like Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, Gu Kexue, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Tao Zhongwen, who is also a three-lonely, the cronies who are all around him every day are naturally indispensable.

As for the rest, then follow the rules, just order a small number of important ministers of the court to go with you.

He is so casual, it is nearly 20,000 people, and the pomp is simply outrageous.

These 20,000 people can't just walk, and the eating, drinking, and Lazar along the way have to be arranged, although this trip is only a few days, so it has to be arranged, so many people, they can't all nest in the dragon car for the night.

Jiajing didn't know if he didn't remember the lesson or liked to live in a tent, he chose to live in a tent this time, and he also stipulated that all the entourage, including the forbidden army, brocade guards, eunuchs, palace maids, officials, etc., must be prepared to live in tents.

As soon as this will was issued, Yang Cong was so excited in his heart, the tent, it was easy to catch fire, last time Xia Yan was burned by him and almost didn't become the first assistant of the cabinet, this time, is it also a fire to burn Jiajing to death in his sleep?

If you want to set fire, you still have to discuss with Lu Bing first, because when Jiajing goes out on patrol, the guards and patrols of the camp are generally handed over to Lu Bing, and it is not too simple to let Lu Bing's people set a fire.

However, Yang Cong thought about it for a long time, but he was still a little hesitant, and he didn't know whether to discuss it with Lu Bing.

Lu Bing and Jiajing, who grew up together in open crotch pants, let the family set fire to Jiajing's imperial tent, will they do it?

To be honest, Lu Bing is very likely to not be able to do this, because the relationship between Lu Bing and Jiajing is too good, and Lu Bing is still a very filial person, if he asks the family to burn Jiajing's imperial tent, he will definitely discuss it with his mother Li.

It's hard to say whether the Li family will stop this, Jiajing is equivalent to half of her son, who wants her son to be burned to death by fire?

Yang Cong had to consider these problems, because burning Jiajing to death was a rebellion, and once it was discovered, it would be a punishment for the Nine Clans, and he didn't want to burn Jiajing to death because he leaked the news, but hurt his whole family.

In the end, he still decided not to discuss with Lu Bing, and everything was left to fate.

It is clearly recorded in the historical materials that Jiajing went out on patrol and was almost burned to death, but it was Lu Bing who carried him out of the fire, and Lu Bing was also promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he has been a very popular minister since then.

At this time, Lu Bing is still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, that is to say, the fire that almost killed Jiajing has not yet burned, perhaps, without deliberately putting it, Jiajing's imperial tent will catch fire, or perhaps, there are other palace maids or eunuchs who want Jiajing's life, and they will secretly send them to light the imperial tent.

This kind of thing, who knows!
