In November, after the first snow of the nineteenth year of Wanli, the British Gong Zhang Rong died. This is a big thing for the Ming Dynasty, in the past, it was just that Xungui died, but now it represents the fall of a giant of the Ming military.

It can be seen from the situation of this year that the imperial court has entered a period of replacement.

Whether it is on the side of civil officials or military generals, the resignation of those who resigned, and the death of those who died, the older generation has gradually died out. Qi Jiguang, the pillar of the Ming military, is afraid that he will not be able to last for a few years, but fortunately, the younger generation has also risen.

The funeral of the British public Zhang Rong was of a very high standard, and Zhu Yijun also went in person, and at the same time appeased Zhang Weixian.

After entering the wax moon, the busy thing is the New Year, this is Zhu Yijun's nineteenth year in Daming, and he is twenty-nine years old after the New Year.

This year has been very peaceful, and Daming can be regarded as politically fluent.

After the beginning of the year, the imperial court ushered in another wave of wage increases, accompanied by a nationwide rectification of officials. The Anti-Corruption Department and the Law and Discipline Department have been rolled out across the country, and the capital has also dispatched inspection teams to begin investigating major cases nationwide.

After the New Year, things are going well, and Zhu Yijun's northward journey is about to begin.

Forbidden City, Yongning Palace.

Since serving Zhu Yijun, Dongge has been canonized as Concubine Shun, and the palace where he lives is Yongning Palace. Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor is very fond of this new concubine Shun.

There are three or four days a month to be here with her, of course, this is not comparable to the queen, the queen has the emperor for at least ten days, and most of the time it is half a month and half a month.

This is also a big factor in the peace of Zhu Yijun's harem.

"Is this the Jurchen milk wine?" Zhu Yijun picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip lightly, then put it on the table, nodded with a smile: "It tastes good!" ”

Brother Dong, who had already combed his Han-style hair, poured another cup for Zhu Yijun with a smile and said: "The Jurchen is vulgar, and the food is also vulgar, Your Majesty likes the concubines and is happy in my heart." ”

"What vulgar is not vulgar!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "It's all about living." ”

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Brother Dong was slightly stunned, and then asked with questions: "Your Majesty seems to have feelings?" ”

Playing with the wine glass in his hand, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Whether it is the Jurchen or the Ming Dynasty, all the people want is a mouthful of food in their mouths and a piece of clothing on their bodies, which is enough." ”

"In our Daming Dynasty, there is a saying that ten acres of land is a cow, and the wife and children are hot on the kang."

This sounds quite unambitious, but for the people at the bottom, that's all they want. What is the major event in the world, what is the hegemony of the emperor, and what does it have to do with them? ”

Dong Ge leaned on the table and held his chin with his hand: "Your Majesty is really different from what I thought. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun immediately smiled: "Then what do you think of me?" ”

"The head of our Jurchen clan is very powerful, and he thinks about how to annex other tribes every day." Dong Ge smiled and said, "I think Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world." ”

"Then everyone will not dare to raise their heads when they see His Majesty, and whoever is disobedient will be killed."

Listening to Brother Dong's words, Zhu Yijun immediately smiled: "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

Brother Dong shook his head: "No, Your Majesty did not disappoint the concubine, but made the concubine admire in her heart." Your Majesty has power and does not abuse it, has the people in your heart, and has kindness, Your Majesty is a wise monarch. ”

Hearing Brother Dong's words, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I heard that the women of the grassland are not all advocating the strong, what are the first warriors or something?" ”

Nodding, Dong Ge agreed: "Yes! However, none of them can compare with Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous, Your Majesty has given an order, countless people are willing to die for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty does not need to show anything with bravery. ”

Zhu Yijun immediately smiled, reached out and pinched Brother Dong's nose: "I can speak!" ”

"I'm going to leave the capital in a few days, and I'm going to go to Jizhou for a few days, and then go to Liaodong and Shenyang to have a look. I want to take you with me, and maybe I can see your father and brother. ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Yijun say this, Brother Dong was immediately happy: "Really? Great, Your Majesty really loves me! ”

Zhu Yijun also laughed, the reason why he took Brother Dong was not just because he hurt her. But there is no need to say this, but the end of the pain is still very tragic.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yijun rubbed his waist and eyes after getting up, it was too miserable.

"Your Majesty, let the old slave prepare something warm!" Zhang Whale followed Zhu Yijun's side and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said: "Okay, then prepare a little, by the way, remind me in the future, before you leave for the Northland, don't stay at Concubine Shun's place." ”

You have to control it, if it goes on like this, you will have to age prematurely.

Although everyone knows that the emperor is going to the Northland, it seems early to go now, right? Chengde repaired that is a summer resort, now go to the summer? Stop making a fuss.

However, the ministers also know that it is basically impossible to stop it, so they can go if they want.

In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yijun summoned the ministers, and then announced his plan to go on a northern tour.

"I prepared for the northern tour, and during my northern tour, the prince of the Great Emperor supervised the country, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Zeng Xingwu, and the minister of the Military Aircraft Department, Xu Wenbi, the minister of the military aircraft department. The other ministers of the cabinet and the other ministers of the military aircraft department must also confess their affairs in a sincere manner. ”

The eldest prince is in charge of the country, this is a great righteousness, no one dares to say anything, although the eldest prince is only four years old.

Shen Shixing is no problem with auxiliary politics, after all, he is the first auxiliary scholar of the cabinet, but the auxiliary government of Dingguo Gong Xu Wenbi is a little incomprehensible, so what about Qi Jiguang? It should be Qi Jiguang's auxiliary government?

"Qi Jiguang is driving!" Zhu Yijun directly opened his mouth to answer everyone's doubts.

After the matter of the northern tour was finalized, the matter also entered the preparation stage. The emperor's trip is naturally a big event, so the preparations must be very sufficient, and the instructions will be sent to the local government to prepare.

However, Zhu Yijun has already issued an order, strictly prohibiting all local governments from building palaces and offering treasures.

At the same time, the local government was strictly ordered not to expropriate in the name of its own northern tour, and violators were severely punished.

After preparing for a month, according to Qin Tianjian's calculations, the eighth day of the second lunar month was an auspicious day, and the holy car was suitable for travel, so Zhu Yijun's northern tour officially began.

There were more than 300 eunuchs and palace maids accompanying them, and the attendants who escorted them reached 20,000 people.

After the group left the capital, they rushed to the first destination, Jizhou. Because of the construction of cement straights, this road is not difficult.

Zhu Yijun's huge carriage with 16 horses and eight wheels was extremely powerful on the road, and it was even more eye-catching than the sedan chair carried by Zhang Juzheng's 48 people.
