Suzhou is the location of this ready-to-wear exhibition, and it is also the last stop of Zhu Youxiao's tour of Jiangnan. After staying in Nanjing for a few days, Zhu Youxiao and his party went to Suzhou. At this time, Fengqiuhuang's ready-to-wear exhibition is in full swing preparations.

Zhu Youxiao met Dong Bai on the second day after he arrived in Suzhou, Dong Bai is also Dong Xiaowan, Dong Bai's family is wealthy at this time, but just this year she encountered a major event that made her family fall down. Dong Bai's father suffered from dysentery, the medicine stone was ineffective, and his life hung by a thread, in this time and space, it happened that Zhu Youxiao came to Suzhou, Dong Bai and his mother Bai and Xiaoxiao and Gu Mei met, and when they saw Zhu Youxiao's Luan driving to Suzhou, they wanted to ask the imperial doctor of the palace to treat them on their behalf.

"I will personally go to the emperor to ask for this matter, but it will not succeed, I can't guarantee it, after all, there are palace rules in the palace." Xiao Xiao said softly.

"Thank you! The folk women understood that the folk women really had no choice but to beg the mother. Bai said sadly.

"Mrs. Dong, I have a way." Gu Mei glanced at Dong Bai and said. Zhu Youxiao once mentioned the name Dong Bai, she was not sure if the Dong Bai in front of her was the Dong Bai that Zhu Youxiao said, she thought of taking her to the palace for Zhu Youxiao to see.

"Please make it clear! No matter what method is used, as long as I can save my master, the women will not allow it. Bai Shi said immediately.

"Let Dong Bai go with me to meet the emperor, and the emperor may agree to Mrs. Dong's request for Dong Bai's sake." Gu Mei said with a smile.

"This ......" Hearing Gu Mei's words, Bai Shi hesitated a little. Zhu Youxiao's reputation as a merry man resounded all over the country, and the Bai family had a feeling of sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. And when Xiaoxiao heard Gu Mei's words, she didn't say anything.

"Mother, let the child go." Dong Bai said.

"The emperor is merciful, and he will not embarrass Dong Bai." Gu Mei said.

"Then you can go with my mother." Bai said helplessly.

……

Zhu Youxiao obviously didn't realize that the Dong Bai in front of him was Dong Bai in the history of Qin Huai Bayan. Regarding Dong Bai's request, Zhu Youxiao still agreed, which was mainly based on Xiaoxiao and Gu Mei's face.

After Dong Bai left, Gu Mei asked softly, "Your Majesty, is this the Dong Bai you said?" ”

Hearing Gu Mei's question, Zhu Youxiao remembered: "I don't know much about this, I have only heard of the name Dong Bai, but I have never seen Dong Bai." It is said that Dong Bai was born beautiful, and he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was even more proficient in embroidery, and he also made good dishes. ”

"This Dong Bai is quite similar to what the emperor said, the only thing that doesn't match is his age." Gu Mei said.

"I don't know Dong Bai's age, and I've only heard people mention it occasionally......" Zhu Youxiao said this, suddenly glanced at Gu Mei, and said, "You have a heart, and you have been helping me find Dong Bai." ”

"It's rare for the emperor to have a woman who is interested, and the concubine can't help but be curious and want to see it." Gu Mei said with a smile.

"I also mentioned it casually, so I don't have to take it to heart." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The concubine understands, and the concubine is just curious." Gu Mei said.

"Where did Yang Ai go? It's rare to see her these days. Zhu Youxiao asked.

"She designed and arranged the layout of the ready-to-wear exhibition hall this time, and she has been at the venue of the ready-to-wear exhibition for the past few days." Gu Mei said.

"The ready-to-wear fair is still three days away, right? How ready are you? Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Everything is ready, and the tickets for external sales have been sold out before we came to Suzhou, and it is said that the ticket price of the outside ready-to-wear exhibition has been noisy to 100 taels of silver dollars a piece." Gu Mei said with a smile.

"I can't imagine that now there is a profession of scalpers, so it seems that you finally don't have to lose money to hold a ready-to-wear exhibition, and you can still make money." Zhu Youxiao said.

"I can't make any money, but I don't have to lose money, our ticket prices are still too low. Your Majesty, are you really not going to participate in the Ready-to-Wear Exhibition? Gu Mei said.

"I didn't go to the ready-to-wear exhibition, and I suddenly thought of a very important thing, I want to hold a large-scale military parade, which needs to be discussed with the cabinet and the governor." Zhu Youxiao said.

"A military parade?" Gu Mei asked.

"When the time comes, you will understand that you have to prepare a batch of military uniforms to be worn at the parade ceremony, which will be used in the parade ceremony." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

……

Zhu Youxiao did it as soon as he thought of it, and he immediately convened cabinet ministers and court officials to discuss the military parade.

"Two hundred and sixty-nine years ago, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Taizu Gao proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtianfu and named the country Daming. I decided to set this day as the National Day, and next year will be the 270th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and I will hold a grand military parade in Beijing on the National Day to celebrate the 270th anniversary of the founding of the empire. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty can hold a grand ceremony to worship the heavens and ancestors on this day, and as for the military parade, the minister thinks that it can be simplified." Hu Yingtai suggested. Ming Chengzu once held a military parade, he mobilized 100,000 troops to hold a "hunt" in Huailai, and this "hunting" operation lasted for a month. In other words, Ming Chengzu's military parade was actually a combination of military parade and exercise.

"The ceremony of worshiping the heavens and ancestors should be done, the military parade ceremony should also be done, and no one can be missing, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and ancestors is responsible for the cabinet, and the military parade ceremony is responsible for the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the military parade ceremony will be very simple, and it will be an hour's time." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, in an hour, this parade seems to be a little too simple." Sun Chengzong said suspiciously. After all, this military parade is a means to show the country's prestige, declare the country's strength, and expand the country's influence, and Sun Chengzong is afraid that if it is too simple, it will only play a negative role.

"Although the military parade is only one hour, but for this hour, it will take at least a few months to prepare in the early stage, and this time will definitely not disappoint our division, and this military parade, I will take a semi-open form, allowing the people to watch." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The military parade is related to the face of the empire, and it must not leave a handle for outsiders and affect the national prestige of the empire, so if you don't do it, you must do it well." Sun Chengzong admonished.

"My teacher, I understand." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The military prestige of the empire is no less than that of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Cheng Zuwen, and it is understandable to hold a military parade, and the cabinet will definitely give full support to Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong said.

"After you have seen this simplified military parade, I think that such a military parade can be held once every five to ten years to show the national prestige of the empire and declare the strength of the empire." Zhu Youxiao said.
