Chapter 120: Returning to the Dynasty (Asking for Support, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Finally leaving!

August 15 will pass, the big guy here has just eaten moon cakes, and a fold from Shenyang over there was sent by ship to Wannian and sent to the palace.

King Huai agreed with the return of the imperial court to Jingshi.

This news only made Zhu Youlang and others, who were originally a little nervous, all excited and unstoppable, and even Zhu Youlang himself, after learning the news, deliberately told the ancestors and ancestors of the good news in front of the "Taimiao" - in fact, that is, the tablets of the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, before that, what they were most worried about was that King Huai would not let him go. If King Huai does not agree. Even if the imperial court wanted to leave here, there was no possibility. After all, this is King Huai's territory, without his consent. Not to mention leaving, I'm afraid they just want to have a meal and have to nod their heads.

Now that King Huai agreed to let them leave, then there was no need to worry about anything else, and now there was only one question to consider, that is, when to leave.

Of course, these problems, as the emperor, Zhu Youlang, of course, don't need to think about it, naturally there are other people who will handle all this, for him, now he just needs to wait to leave here. But even so, he, who was originally angry about Zhu Mingzhong, had to sigh in private that Zhu Mingzhong would be so relieved.

It is even very rare to say to the queen in private, "From this point of view, Huai Fan is indeed loyal to Daming", but it is not loyal, and he is so loyal that he is willing to give up his head.

Such foolishness and loyalty are probably rare in the world.

Of course, no one would say such a thing. At least until 10,000 years of departure, no one will say that. Whether he will say these words after coming to Jingshi in the future, I'm afraid only God knows.

But now, when the news came out that the Huai Fan agreed to return to Beijing and expressed his willingness to send ships to escort him, for a while, everyone in the world spoke of King Huai's sincerity and felt his loyalty. Of course, there are also people who euphemistically said that the imperial court should be careful, after all, the sea is stormy and rough. There is a big feeling, worried that the emperor will have some accidents at sea, of course, at this time, no one will doubt whether King Huai will do anything on the road again. After all, King Huai has clearly stated his attitude.

At the same time, Wannian is preparing to leave Wannian Mansion. From the palace of ten thousand years to the residence of the officials, luggage is bundled everywhere, preparing to return to Beijing, and after leaving Shenjing for 19 years, the Ming Dynasty is finally able to return to Beijing.

For Daming, this is good news.

In the past period of time, the streets of this Wannian Mansion were full of carriages, and those who were busy with the driving officials packed up their belongings, and then sent them to Keelung by carriage.

This is the first and last time.

Since then, Wannian as a palace, will only exist in the history books, even Wannian Mansion, has been re-named by the Yongli Emperor - "Hai'an", of course, this is not the meaning of "Jinghai Anbo", but "the four seas are stable", now the four seas are stable, the court will not return to Beijing, so named, also has its special meaning.

Even in a good mood, Yongli is a few ancestors who have not inherited the throne, given the throne, in order to succeed the vassal king, of course, these years the Ming Dynasty's relatives have either been killed, or absconded and disappeared, and there are only so many clans left. There's no need to worry about anything else at this time. After all, the world is already peaceful, and there is no need to be as cautious as in the past.

Finally, in September, with the news that the ship had arrived from Keelung Harbor - the reason why it had not been possible was not to wait for the sailors of the Loyal Army, but to wait for the Min Domain, the Jin Domain, and the Chu Domain.

Even this is the reason why Huai Fan is greatly appreciated, after all, this can avoid any "accidents" that may occur at sea to the greatest extent, and all kinds of accidents may occur at sea, but in this way, Huai Fan can stay out of the matter.

However, this also caused some trouble for the other feudal domains. After all, not everyone can take out the sea ship right away.

Although the Jin Domain did not have a sailor, it also had more than a dozen sea vessels, and it took a lot of twists and turns for the Chu Domain to buy four sea ships in Macao, Jiangbei and southern Fujian, and hired crew sailors. Naturally, I was delayed for a while.

The ships of the four feudal clans have arrived, so the Qiluan period is finally approaching, and there will be another dispute between the DPRK and China to go out of the north gate or the south gate. According to the distance, you should go out of the north gate, but some people think that the big car must go from the north to the south, the imperial court system is critical, and "the south is prosperous, and the Ming is governed", so it must go out of the south gate. This comes with a lot of twists and turns, just out of the city this section of the road and more than half a circle not to say, and according to the rules of the road to be paved with loess, even if it is a stone road paved for 10,000 years, it must also be paved with loess, the rules are the rules, and there can be no change in the slightest. After a lot of effort, the ministers still disagreed, and finally asked Yongli to adjudicate.

Needless to say, for the Yongli at this time, the system is still secondary, at this time to take prosperity, to seek auspiciousness is the most important, especially for the Yongli who has been displaced for so many years, it is more important to be auspicious and lucky, so he told the ministers.

"Go out of the south gate and walk around the city."

In the past, when I was displaced, I never thought about any auspiciousness and luck, but now it is different, in the past it was a run for my life, and now these are related to the Ming Dynasty's society and the Ming Dynasty's luck. He couldn't be more cautious.

Human nature is always like that. In the past, I didn't pay so much attention to it because I was running for my life, and I couldn't afford it. The reason why there is so much talk about it now is because I care more.

The next day, September 24, the sky will be bright, the six ministries and other officials of the DPRK and China, as well as the civil and military officials of Hai'an City, have gathered in the palace marquis, and when boarding the car to leave, Yongli summoned the palace ministers according to the routine, and Fang Shiqi drove to the public opinion, of course, this so-called public opinion is a carriage pulled by four white horses. This is the territory of King Huai, even the emperor can't take a sedan chair. Everyone has already adapted to this.

At three o'clock in the morning, the leading cavalry and horse team led the way, followed by the eunuchs in the palace, and then the Jinyi guard opened the way, the sound of the quiet whip, four carriages out of the palace, the first one was Zhu Youlang, the second one was the queen, and then several times in succession were the palace concubines, and the carriages were all hung up without exception, so that the subjects could not see the holy face from afar, and in front of the palace, Zhu Cixuan, who was wearing a prince's robe, bowed his knees to send his father and the queen away, as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, for safety reasons, he did not make a trip for the time being, but stayed here alone.

Although last time, Yongli father and son were both on the same boat, but now, just in case, under the advice of the ministers, the crown prince Zhu Cixuan temporarily stayed in Hai'an, and after the emperor returned to Beijing, the crown prince drove back to Beijing, for such a safe suggestion, Zhu Youlang did not refuse, although he has never been separated from the crown prince, but now, for him, there is only one thought left, that is, to return to Beijing, back to the Forbidden City, which haunts his soul......

After the holy drive was the servant of the six Shangshu led by the servants, followed by the file vehicles of the various yamen. Hundreds of carriages were drawn from end to end, and they were not finished until ten o'clock.

On the way out of the holy car, every house burned incense, and every household made a lottery, and these people who were exiled here all knelt down to send the holy car one after another. And the so-called "local elders" even presented yellow satin umbrellas, for these ordinary people, being able to get the imperial spirit is enough for them to say that they can't tell outsiders for decades. Now that the emperor is leaving here and returning to Beijing, although they are a little reluctant, they also know that this is inevitable. After all, Jingshi is where the emperor stays.

In this way, in the greeting of the people, Zhu Youlang Junchen was sent out of Hai'an Mansion, and then the carriage drove out of the basin and into the mountain road, and after driving along the mountain road for two days, Keelung Port was close at hand.

After the holy car arrived at Keelung Port, Zhu Youlang, who had already returned to his heart, did not set off for a day of rest as planned before returning to the car, for fear of long nights and dreams, and even more afraid that Zhu Mingzhong would regret him, so he temporarily decided to get on the ship immediately under the pretext that it was still early.

As soon as the decree was made, everyone had to get on the boat, and they didn't think about any auspicious time or anything like that. And the cautious Zhu Youlang also did not board the ship prepared for him by the Huai Domain, and boarded another sailing ship of the Chu Domain, according to him, this is a show of favor to Chu.

Regarding the emperor's actions, whether it was the ministers accompanying him or the officials of the four feudal clans who escorted him, they all shook their heads and sighed lightly. Even everyone faintly sympathized with the "loyal" King Huai, the emperor's precaution against the Huai domain has reached this point, and after the emperor returns to Beijing, how will he treat the Huai King?

No one knows,

Of course, except for the Huai Clan and a few people, no one cares, and no one even thinks about it that much. Of course, there are many people who take this for granted, after all, the emperor's safety is the most important thing at this time, so what's the harm in being careful?

And Yongli is also immersed in the excitement of returning to the dynasty, especially in the excitement of getting rid of Zhu Mingzhong's grasp. For the first time in many years, he was full of all kinds of longings for the future.

At 10:15 a.m. that day, that is, halfway through the hour, a huge fleet of 43 warships and merchant ships sailed out of Keelung Harbor under the tow of rowboats, and set sail outside the harbor. After more than ten years of exile, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial court finally embarked on the road to return to Beijing.

Along the way, almost everyone was smiling, everyone was there to celebrate the return of the holy car, and people even imagined how lively it would be after arriving in Jingshi.

Of course, not everyone is like this, at least for Zhang Fengyang, he is not happy at all, just three days ago, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he was removed from the position of commander, not only that, but also rushed to other ships.

"The emperor doesn't believe me, I'm waiting!"

Looking at the three-masted clipper in the center of the fleet, Zhang Fengyang couldn't help but sigh.

As the hero of the year, when he was in Dingnan Mansion, he was appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which can be said to be deeply favored, but now, when the emperor left Taiwan and dismissed him from the command for some reason, he immediately understood everything.

"The emperor has never believed me!"

Zheng Xiaru, who was promoted from the Wannian Prefect to the Ministry of Officials, looked at the ship and said calmly.

"As far as the emperor is concerned, the reason why he trusted us in the past was just because of the situation, and as for now, ......"

As if mockingly, he glanced at the ship of the Chu ship,

"He has found a loyal minister, so why should he trust the traitor?"

"King Huai is not a traitor!"

Zhang Fengyang immediately retorted, in his opinion, there is no one in the world who is more loyal than King Huai, whether it is Burma to save the driver back then, or now to send the king back to the court, loyalty can be shown in the future.

"Huai Wang ......"

Looking at Zhang Fengyang, who said these two words, Zheng Xiaru, who knew that he was from the main division of the Loyal and Righteous Army, just shook his head and smiled.

"Even if the king is loyal, what can the sun and the moon do? In the eyes of some people, if the king is not removed for a day, I am afraid that he will not be at peace for a day! ”

Who wants to kill King Huai?

There is no need to ask at all, Zhang Fengyang knows who wants to kill King Huai, it is no one else, it is the emperor who lives on that ship now, his eyes are staring at that ship, and there will only be one thought left in his heart.

"Why is the emperor so unreasonable? Don't you know how loyal King Huai is? ”

Of course Zhu Youlang knows!

Even now, even on the ship, in the face of the words of the queen Wang, he knows how loyal King Huai is.

"The loyalty of King Huai can show the sun and the moon, how can I not know it?"

Sitting in front of Queen Wang, Zhu Youlang's tone was extremely sincere.

"But the queen, it is precisely because he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty that the court needs a loyal minister like him, and besides, today's world needs him to make contributions to the court in the court.

The emperor's words fell into the ears of the queen, but she did not directly point out the emperor's thoughts, but persuaded them euphemistically.

"Your Majesty, now that the north is not appeased, it is the time when the imperial court needs the Huai Domain to form Liaodong, if it is transferred to the court, I am afraid that it will ruin the country's major affairs."

The queen's euphemistic persuasion made Zhu Youlang bored for a while, and he immediately interrupted the queen's words, and then said.

"What is this Qing captives fleeing westward, what are you doing in Liaodong? If I want to pacify the Qing captives, I will inevitably need King Huai to be in the center to give me advice, this matter has been decided, and the queen does not need to persuade me anymore! ”

Seeing that the queen was still about to speak out, Zhu Youlang casually picked up the snacks on the table, took a bite, and then said.

"Queen, if I expected it to be true, now Zhang Shangshu is afraid that he has gone to Liaodong to spread my will!"
