Chapter 723: Heavenly Heart

Apocalypse sits on a soft sedan chair up the mountain, at this time the Long Live Mountain is a well-deserved first peak in Beijing, although in later generations it is far less than the height of the newly built buildings, but at this time, as long as you climb the high mountain in this royal garden, on the top of the peak, most of the capital can easily fall into view.

In terms of architecture, except for a few buildings, the three major halls in the Forbidden City are the tallest building complexes, followed by some important buildings outside the Forbidden City, such as the Ten Princes' Mansion and many official offices on the Heavenly Street, and then the mansions of the princes and the residences of civil and military officials, and the lower ones are the residences of ordinary officials and ordinary people.

There are also some temples that are about the same level as the prince's mansion, and they are also the same tall and spacious, but all of this cannot be compared with the Imperial Palace Forbidden City, which is located on the central axis and is the tallest building in the capital.

This architectural style, which suppresses all things in the world from high to low, was originally a manifestation of imperial power, and people who first entered the palace had a huge sense of awe from the depths of their hearts.

In front of the Apocalypse, Beijing City should be a boxy city, except for some places in the south of the city are more chaotic, the whole capital is a parallel quadrangular type, this city at the beginning of the construction with great thought planning, in addition to the city square, the street is also flat and stable, every alley leads to the street, each street traverses the north and south of the capital, the largest and straightest one is at the foot of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, from the palace forbidden city straight to Yongding Gate.

"Emperor, this is Zhang Hanjin's telescope, which is said to be more delicate than Taixi's goods."

Wei Zhongxian presented a delicate telescope like a treasure, with a silver shrunken mirror body, plus a delicate carved pattern, and it was taken out of a small box made of ivory, which was indeed a very valuable thing at a glance.

In the past two years, there have been more and more European goods in the capital, and the table clock and telescope are the most popular goods, which were originally very expensive and could not be cared for by non-wealthy families, but in the past two years, with the intervention of He Yusheng in the production and sales of these goods, the price has dropped a lot, and ordinary gentry families can also buy a few of these novel goods to see and imagine the exotic customs thousands of miles away.

There are also smaller wall watches, larger starscopes, more expensive and luxurious dressing mirrors and other colorful goods, which may be the direction of the future and Yusheng's efforts.

At the same time as the apocalypse smiled and opened the binoculars, the passionate voice from Zhengyangmen East Street finally came.

The tsunami-like cry of the landslide was not directed towards the Forbidden City, nor was it directed at the Supreme Son of Saint Ming, after hearing the call, Wei Zhongxian's whole body trembled with fright, and everyone present had similar expressions.

King Shin was originally sitting, but at this time, he also jumped up all of a sudden, with a ghostly expression on his face.

King Xin shouted, "Is it a mutiny? ”

"It's not." Apocalypse is still the calmest one, he tried hard to find the source of the sound with a telescope, and finally found it by him on Zhengyangmen Street.

"It turned out that people were shouting and killing the captives around He Yusheng's convoy, well, it was really unexpected."

Apocalypse sighed, in the past two hundred years in the Jingshi, I am afraid that this is the first time that such a thing has happened.

"Slaves deserve death." Wei Zhongxian also saw the roar caused by the convoy on Zhengyangmen Street and Yusheng, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and pleaded: "It was the slave maid who put these carriages in and caused such a big thing." ”

King Xin couldn't help but say: "The factory minister does have some Meng Lang, how can Zhang Han rely on it!" ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly touched his head, and did not make a sound, Tianqi looked at King Xin, but said to Wei Zhongxian: "Go to the factory, the matter in front of you is only available to the people, and the Yusheng convoy into the city caused the people to cheer, this is because I want to send them to Liaodong, the people's hearts are available, and the hearts are to the Ming, which is a good thing." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Do you want slaves and maids to disperse the crowd?" ”

"How can such a thing be done?" Tianqi said with a smile on his face: "I was a little surprised just now, but now when I hear the sound of killing, I feel very comforted in my heart, Donglu killed my army and people, there is no humanity, and the people of Beijing hate it to the core, this cry is the voice of the people, it is also the voice of my heart, my heart is the heart of heaven, the heart of heaven and the heart of the people are compatible, and there is a lot to be done in Liao, so there is no need to panic." If I disperse the people and spread the word, will not I lose the hearts of the people? ”

Wei Zhongxian was shocked, kowtowed, and said, "The slave and maid have missed the emperor's major event. ”

Tianqi said quite tolerantly: "You are also afraid of accidents, and the factory ministers have always been very cautious and cautious. The matter with Yusheng, although it was an accident, it was also a good thing, and when the matter of the Thirteen Mountains had a result, I would give Zhang Han a favor. ”

Wei Zhongxian heard that the emperor still had reservations about Zhang Han, otherwise, according to the character of the apocalypse, he would definitely be very happy to say something praising Zhang Han now, he didn't say anything, just touched his head again and hurriedly retreated.

The rest of the people also saw that the emperor and the king of Xin had something to say, and most of them retreated.

"King Xin!" Tianqi looked at King Xin very seriously, and said, "You have a little gaffe today." ”

Shinoh's face slowly turned red, and it was an interesting process for his little pointed face to turn red from fair.

"Brother Huang forgives his sins." King Xin bowed and said: "The minister should not blame the factory minister. ”

"No, not for that reason." Tianqi said strangely: "The factory minister is a minister, and he is also a house slave, what are you afraid of if you say a few words." Am I going to accuse you just because you said a word to the factory minister? ”

Xin Wang Zheng, said: "Then why does the imperial brother accuse the courtiers? ”

"There is a saying you have to remember, if the king is not secret, he will lose his country, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body." Tianqi said lightly: "If you are suitable, your dissatisfaction with He Yusheng and Zhang Han is very obvious. If it spreads, won't it make you a rival for yourself? ”

King Xin's face turned even redder, his little face was raised, and he said with a bit of momentum: "Brother Huang forgives his sins, but his younger brother is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so he should not be afraid of a businessman." ”

"Zhang Han is not an ordinary businessman." Tianqi sighed: "He Yusheng is on the side of the Beiyu, and he has always said that there is not much land to expand, but the group training of the merchant group has also been fighting with the Beiyu, and there is a victory in the north for hundreds of miles." The governor of Datong, the patrol, the Xuanfu patrol, and the general army have all been played, and Yusheng has recruited a large number of people to reclaim the land in Datong. The imperial court knew about this matter in advance and allowed it, Zhang Han acted a little too much, but the imperial court was not very serious. Bi Zhen already has the Eastern Captives and the Northern Captives, as well as the Extravagant Rebellion, and then forces the anti-Xuanda, the imperial court really can't support so many wars. ”

It was the first time for King Xin to hear Tianqi talk about government affairs in such detail, and he was a little moved at the moment, more surprised and angry, and he said to Tianqi: "Is the imperial brother just sitting back and ignoring him?" ”

"This dynasty is a heavy general, and the noble." Tianqi smiled tolerantly: "No matter how powerful Zhang Han is, it is mainly in business. Looking at today's caravans is a clear proof, he usually puts most of the caravans in dozens of state capitals, doing business everywhere, from ancient times to the present, have there been people who have separated their forces to do business and rebel? Zhang Han's matter, I have long thought about it, at most I have some strength in the Beiyu realm, Emperor Shenzong could tolerate Li Chengliang back then, but today I can't tolerate Zhang Han, a merchant and military minister? ”

King Xin muttered: "But if you let him go there, you can't rest assured......"

Apocalypse smiled: "For powerful courtiers, there must be three. First, to restrict, I have long ordered Zhang Han not to expand the training of the merchant group in the local state capital, and now it seems that he has used all his strength on the Beiyu side, which is very good. Second, we must guard against ......"

Tianqi pondered for a while, but still said: "Send Zhang Shenyan and Hong Chengchou ministers to Datong, and keep Yang Yufan, the general soldier, in Xuanfu, these people who are not right with Zhang Han are here, just take precautions." ”

King Xin nodded slightly, at this time he felt that he had touched some of the imperial brother's thinking problems and the pulse of governing the country, but he still felt that the imperial brother's methods were too soft and too slow, although Zhang Han did not have an obvious disobedience, but let it happen sooner or later, it should be solved as soon as possible by thunderous means.

"And the third ......" the Apocalypse continued: "If the courtier does not obey, he will naturally conquer, and if the courtier does not act like a king, then the king must be like a king, and if he should be gracious, he must not deliberately fail to be gracious because of fear or precaution." ”

Tianqi smiled and said, "At this level, even if my brother governs his own palace and future fiefdom, it will be useful. Although the inheritance of this dynasty is not allowed to interfere in the politics of the domain, but there are hundreds of people in the palace, more than 1,000 people, and there are also a large number of people outside. ”

King Xin stood up and bowed: "Thank you for the guidance of the imperial brother, the younger brother must remember it firmly." ”

Tianqi felt that King Xin might not have listened to his words, but it was rare for the two brothers to say something like this for a long time, and he smiled and watched King Xin retreat, feeling very happy.

After King Xin retreated, Tianqi picked up the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, until he Yusheng's convoy went out of Dongbianmen to Tongzhou, Tianqi knew that Sun Chengzong had already made arrangements, and sent people to Beijing to coordinate, the convoy would transport most of the grain in Tongzhou, and along the way to Yongping Mansion and Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan can slowly replenish the grain, try to transport most of the grain in front of it, and then slowly replenish it from the rear, so that the speed can be accelerated.

Apocalypse also ordered the cabinet to cooperate with Liaozhen, be sure to rescue a considerable number of soldiers and civilians in the Thirteen Mountains this time, these carriages can send food, of course, they can also transport the escaped soldiers and civilians, than to tell them to walk much faster and more convenient, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians can rescue one or two thousand old and weak, and then send a large amount of food, not only in the Guangning area to bury a nail, so that Jianyu can not smoothly enter and exit Hexi, and can deeply blow the arrogance of a Jianlu, since the Apocalypse has personally taken charge of the government, Jianyu has repeatedly defeated the main force of the Ming border army, Every time there are a large number of casualties in the border army, Tianqi feels sad every time he sees the number of dead and injured of the soldiers and civilians on the report, he is a very kind-hearted king, this is not like his grandfather Wanli, but like his great-grandfather Emperor Longqing, because of the kind foundation, Tianqi is very concerned about the military and civilians of the Thirteen Mountains, and this attention is based on normal human emotions, not for the face of his own Ming Emperor.

"I hope you don't disappoint me." Apocalypse lowered his binoculars, and his face showed a happy and solemn expression.
