Chapter 179: Royal Arrival Datong

Since Zhu Houzhao left the capital, the two queens and concubines have also become depressed.

On the first day Zhu Houzhao left, he began to miss it.

The next day I still miss it.

The listlessness that I missed on the third day.

Empress Dowager Zhang watched her three daughters-in-law listless, and she followed listlessly, so she was exempted from the morning and dusk ceremony of the three of them.

But he often sat in the Buddhist hall in the palace, stroking the relics of Emperor Hongzhi, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhao'er is still that Zhao'er, and I don't want to live in the deep palace!" ”

Like most men, once you want to become a hero, you can't hold much love for your children.

Zhu Houzhao is the same now, if he wants the sun to never set, and if he wants to make the Quartet have Chinese sounds, he has already put his mind on busy and complex government affairs.

Even from the moment he left the capital, many new things from the Ming Dynasty brought by him had hooked his heart.

Scholars who began to gather in the downtown area to give lectures.

The richly decorated yet mysterious headquarters of the Royal Bank.

Another royal exposition that has just begun to be held has made the commercial market of Damingmen more lively again.

The phenomenon of queuing up in the Royal Bank to make loans shows that many of the Royal Industries' new products were once again very popular with the merchants, who did not hesitate to borrow money from the Royal Bank to place orders.

The construction site of Jingtongguan Road, which is lively outside the capital, gathered more and more migrant workers, so that more and more market towns began to develop outside the capital.

As the number of hawkers in the vicinity of Gyeonggi increased, the Suncheon government sought Zhu Houzhao's permission to set up a police department modeled on Nam Zhili, and recruited more police officers to maintain local order.

But we have to admit that as the population of the capital increases, the sanitary situation is getting worse and worse, especially outside the city.

Zhu Houzhao had to pinch his nose and leave here, thinking that he had to let Wang Hua, a cabinet scholar who stayed in Beijing, deal with the health problems in the capital, otherwise it would not be a trivial matter if there was a plague.

But in general.

Zhu Houzhao was very pleased to see the thriving social scene of Daming today.

Even on the way to Datong, Zhu Houzhao also saw a lot of scenic spots, famous mountains and rivers.

Moreover, with a cabinet chief assistant like Jiao Fang, who was born in Hanlin, as a tour guide on the side, Zhu Houzhao can easily know the allusions of some places of interest and historic sites.

Let him, the emperor, have a long insight.

When the first snow fell in Datong, Zhu Houzhao reached Datong.

It stands to reason that the emperor stationed somewhere to build a palace, but in order to save the world's financial resources, Zhu Houzhao did not let Datong Mansion build a palace.

Therefore, after arriving in Datong, he collapsed a place called Xiangyun Temple in Datong Mansion according to Jiao Fang's suggestion, because the terrain here is the highest place in Datong City, and there are many rooms, and it is even more rare to be quiet and not disturb the people.

Of course, the more important purpose is to get in touch with Buddhism by the way, and pave the way for the next political strategy.

Zhu Houzhao did not believe in Buddhism in his previous life, and he does not believe in this life, but like most people, although he does not believe in it, he will bow to the Bodhisattva when he sees him in the temple.

But looking at the gold on the Bodhisattva's body, Zhu Houzhao was inevitably not pious enough, and only thought about how to turn the gold into reserves in the royal bank.

However, at the moment, Zhu Houzhao did not have the energy to go to the temple to ask for gold and silver, and now he gathered a cadre of civil and military officials again, and asked Zhang Jie, the Marquis of Taiping: "How is the progress of the second and third divisions of the Guards?" ”

"Your Majesty, the second division of the Guards has been stationed in Datong Mansion, and the third division has been stationed in Bauhinia Pass, once the cavalry of the little prince attacks Yulin City, it can come to the aid of Yulin City at any time!"

Zhang Jie, Marquis of Taiping, replied.

Immediately, Zhu Houzhao asked Shen Lu, the commander of Jinyi Weidu and a fellow intellectual, who was in charge of foreign military intelligence and rebellion work:

"How are the Tatar right-wing ministries in contact now, and which ones are willing to come to Datong Mansion to talk to me?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Yongxie Ministry, the Ordos Ministry, and the Chahar Ministry, all of them are willing to come to Datong to see the court, and now they have all sent envoys, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon."

As a long-term resident in Datong, Shen Lu, who is specifically responsible for investigating the news of various tribes outside the Saiwai, is a businessman on the surface, but only the people in the Jinyiwei system know that he is a high-ranking official in the Jinyiwei, and even Zhu Houzhao knows this person through the internal files of Jinyiwei, and now it is the first time he has seen him.

After listening to Shen Lu's answer, Zhu Houzhao nodded, and patted Shen Lu's shoulder with a smile: "Aiqing has worked hard, you are my eyes, although no one will know your merits on the surface, and even few literati will be recorded in Khan Qing, but I remember, I will also let them remember your merits in the future." ”

Shen Lu didn't expect that the murderous king in his mouth would be so friendly, and he relaxed a lot for a while, and his heart was quite happy and proud of Zhu Houzhao's words, so he only nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and only stood in front of the cliff to look at the clouds.

Jiao Fang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Liu Jin, the master of ceremonies, did not say a word when they saw this.

Shen Lu only stood aside, waiting for the next will.

But everyone felt that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Houzhao must be thinking of some big strategy, and not only did they not dare to speak, but they held their breath and concentrated.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao just felt that the sea of clouds in Xiangyun Temple was beautiful for a while, but he didn't expect that as long as he was silent now, he would make all the ministers dare not speak.

However, Zhu Houzhao is also used to following a large group of people behind him, and basically takes him as the center, greets him, flatters him, listens to him, and tells him, which makes Zhu Houzhao very useful, and also lets him know that it is not unreasonable for so many people to want to be emperors in ancient times, after all, he is the center wherever he goes, which is in line with the nature of people who don't want to be isolated and want to be praised.

The Taishi of the Yongxie Department also arrived at Datong first.

For Yi Bula, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty hoped that the Ming Dynasty could form an alliance with Yong Xie was very unexpected, and he could be described as a surprise after learning the news.

Because, in this era, the international status of the Ming Empire is very high, which can be described as a country of rice in later generations.

So although a careerist like the Little Prince would want to challenge the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, most of the outsiders still revere the empire.

The Ming Dynasty is willing to form an alliance with them, which will make them feel honored, as if they are being looked down upon by the empire, and their vanity will be greatly satisfied.

Now, His Majesty the Ming Emperor is willing to meet them in Datong, and it is natural for them to be pleasantly surprised.

But when this Taishi saw Zhu Houzhao with an excited heart, he was a little disappointed, because the Ming Emperor he imagined should be full of stubble and pot-bellied, but the Ming Emperor in front of him was a thin face, with a white and handsome face, and it seemed that he couldn't tell that he was the king in charge of the Nuo Empire.
