After all, he is a hurried passer-by in the capital! As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Qiming's heart suddenly felt a little lonely, and his eyes were far away at the distant sky and ignored the surrounding crowd. Perhaps in the memories of the onlookers, the hero Yue Wang who triumphed from the north a few years ago has turned into a vague back, and the onlookers at this moment are just curiosity, they just want to witness a miracle: the terrifyingly ugly Yue King has really become the most beautiful man in the capital!

I don't know how many bloody men there are in the lively crowd, and the upcoming bloody fight only calls for warriors to appear, no matter how beautiful or ugly they are.

Alas, there is also this bustling capital! It must be admitted that the capital is becoming more and more prosperous, although all the hidden dangers are as expected, but he still has an inexplicable sadness in his heart. This is a bustling city, a city of sex and desire, because of the lack of accumulation and perseverance, so with thousands of prosperity is endless impetuousness, with the impetuousness is the boundless bubble, which has nothing to do with civilization, in the violent collision with barbarism, they are bursting at the touch of a touch.

Every legendary prosperity can not last, just because from the temple to the masses, all are lost in the drunken gold, no one wants to endure short-term pain for the long-term future, so the prosperity soon dissipated, followed by endless suffering, people finally found that the so-called prosperity turned out to be the harbinger of great upheaval, like the most gorgeous red in the sky before dusk.

Zhu Qiming's mood was a little low. He sent Lu Ziyin home, and when he said goodbye, he naturally had to comfort Lu Xi and his wife, saying that Lu Xiyao stayed in a secret place, protected by a master, and was very safe, and asked them not to publicize this matter, although he would go to the north, he would still pay attention to Lu Xiyao's whereabouts from time to time.

After leaving the city, he met Feng Duo and his party in the northern suburbs, and saw a conflict between a thousand households and a group of merchants fighting for the road, Zhu Qiming wanted to drive away the two thousand Beijing troops who only knew how to cross the nest, stared at Feng Duo and groaned for a long time, and finally endured it.

On the next march, he finally saw the fragility of the Ming Dynasty's preparation system. Zhu Qiming did not plan to spend a copper plate on this expedition, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation were all taken care of by the household department and the Ministry of Industry, but the hundreds of craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry did not set off for the north in advance to repair the camp that had been abandoned for many years on the side of Longmen River, but set off this morning, all the way slowly, and was overtaken by the cavalry led by Zhu Qiming in the northern suburbs of the capital.

In the account books of the household department, from the northern suburbs of the capital to the front line of Xuanfu, there are many war-ready warehouses full of grain and grass, but all the way down, none of these war-ready warehouses can provide supplies for Zhu Qiming's cavalry in time. Although the household department sent people to accompany the 2,000 Beijing troops, and from time to time took out the documents of the household department to order them to provide grain and grass, the treasury officer ran out and broke his leg, and the treasury official in charge was always difficult to find.

I think that once the Warat people choose to go to war, it will be an unexpected move, and they will not wait for the Ming Dynasty to prepare everything before raising troops to attack. The war mobilization system of the Ming Dynasty originally had many drawbacks, coupled with the fact that the existing resources could not efficiently respond to military operations, and the combat readiness warehouse could not be done well, and it may even become a supply base for Tartar thieves who "rely on food for the enemy", so that the Ming army's already pitiful odds of victory will be greatly discounted!

The whole cavalry was sleepy and tired, and heard that there was a large warehouse guarded by a hundred households on the official road between the town border city and Baoanzhou, and there was a military camp nearby for the Beijing army to go back and forth to rest, so Zhu Qiming ordered everyone to hurry up and rush to the place to rest before dusk, and waited here for the three thousand guards to come and meet.

"Your Highness, why don't we arrive at the Xuanfu Territory first, and wait there for the escort to return?"

Zhu Qiming sat down on the stone bench outside the camp, watching the sunset from afar, Feng Duo came to him, "Let's stay here, there is a suspicion of delay." ”

After not seeing each other for a few months, Feng Duo now left Zhu Qiming with a slightly unfamiliar perception, but for the sake of him following him for several years, Zhu Qiming could not hold back the discomfort in his heart.

"The camp over there is in disrepair and has been unusable, and the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry are slow to act, and it is expected that they will be able to reach the Longmen River area in ten days, and it will take several days to repair it, so we should not go early. Camping in the wilderness, once we encounter Tartar thieves, with only two thousand Beijing troops who have never experienced a vicious battle, our chances of victory are extremely small. ”

Feng Duo's eyes were persistent, "However, the emperor ordered us to rush to the north as soon as possible, and we can't delay the time!" ”

Zhu Qiming frowned, and after a while, he stretched out, "How fast is it as soon as possible?" If you don't know what to say, let's just respond! ”

"But ······"

"Where are there so many!" Zhu Qiming's face was slightly gloomy, "Otherwise, Gonggong Feng will lead two thousand Beijing troops to take the first step, and this king will wait for the Yuefu guards here!" ”

Feng Duo was stunned. Tang Ji came from afar, "Your Highness, the two Beijing soldiers and thousands of households almost fought for the best barracks. ”

Zhu Qiming turned his head to look at the barracks in the distance. The barracks are built by the mountains and rivers, and the stone bricks and green tiles do not look dilapidated.

"From today onwards, there will be no more Jing troops by the side of this king! Put them under the name of the Yuefu Guards, train them strictly, and if they can't get on the road, they will be driven back to the capital! ”

"Yes!" Tang Ji resigned.

Feng Duo came to his senses, put on a smile, put aside the topic that had caused Zhu Qiming's displeasure, and talked about the recent news in the palace: "Your Highness, there were two happy events in the palace yesterday, one of the happy events was that Concubine Hui gave birth to a princess, and Concubine Hui was promoted to a concubine; Another happy event is that Concubine Zhou is pregnant and is said to be pregnant with a prince! ”

Hearing this, several questions flashed through Zhu Qiming's mind.

The emperor left Yongsu Hall for nearly three hours yesterday, could it be for these two happy events? If this is the case, why did the emperor give him a cold face when he returned to Yongsu Palace? That's it, no matter if it's cold and hot, why should I be entangled in this like a resentful woman in the deep palace!

Hui Concubine gave birth to a princess? This is fine, presumably she will soon fade out of the sight of some people, and if she can do so, the accumulation of wealth will still be undisturbed.

Concubine Zhou is pregnant? Or a prince? Oh my God, such a thing can be foreseen! Could it be that there are really immortals in the world? Oh, it turns out that the behind-the-scenes calculations of the queen and the concubine are here! However, in the future, Concubine Zhou may not dare to leave Changning Palace, and the palace will stop for a while. And Concubine Zhou fights back and forth, and will not reap any additional benefits, her biggest opportunity is still "mother and son are expensive".

So, what about the Queen? The queen tried her best, but in the end, Fengyi lost her color, and rashly made enemies, and if she wanted to hold the back position in the future, she could only hold on to her love affair with the emperor and not let go.

Zhu Qiming couldn't help but think of the saying "red face and trouble", although he disagreed with the legend in the historical books that blamed the disaster of the past dynasties on the red face, but it is undeniable that whenever the country is in trouble, the harem always does its best!

"The emperor is very happy!" Feng Duo laughed.

Thinking of the emperor's happiness mostly stems from the rumor that Concubine Zhou is pregnant with a prince. There is a prince in the Forbidden City, the emperor is happy, and the whole world celebrates, will anyone be unhappy?

King Servant?

For some reason, Zhu Qiming inadvertently thought of King Yu, which made him feel puzzled. In a daze, I saw Tang Ji walking quickly.

"Your Highness, the Beijing army does not want to be under the name of the Yuefu Guard, and even said that he did not receive the holy decree before leaving, and I don't understand why the Beijing army should obey the prince's orders."

Why are you coming with me if you don't obey the order? Zhu Qiming glanced at Feng Duo, but saw that Feng Duo was silent.

The household official who had gone out to negotiate about grain and grass came at a trot, "Your Highness, the leading hundred households on the other side of the grain depot have gone, and their subordinates said that they must see the documents of the military department before they can open the warehouse." ”

Zhu Qiming's face sank, "Gonggong Feng, the emperor ordered the father-in-law to supervise the army, but the Beijing army did not obey the order, and there was not enough food and grass along the way, so the father-in-law looked at it, and when everything was ready, the king would lead the crowd to the Longmen River area!" ”

Feng Duo's face was difficult, and he hesitated for a long time before he said carefully: "Sprinkle the family······ No, the little slave went back to the capital and explained the matter to the emperor. ”
