The Han Emperor re-colored the country, since then the king of the early dynasty, since the previous year after the last great court meeting, Zhu Youxiao has not been to the court for two months, because yesterday I saw the palace that had been fortunate in the past to pick flowers in the imperial garden, and then fortunately this Yao family girl. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, unlike the last time when he just let the basket make a promise, this time Zhu Youxiao directly sealed this basket as Concubine Ning, which made the entire Zhu Youxiao's harem quite surprised, you know, although Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, he has always followed the rules in the inner court, except for the general election, among the court ladies who came to the fortunate later, those who have no children have never been named concubines without authorization, and this basket has directly become Concubine Ning, not only to make Zhu Youxiao's women puzzled, Even the officials in the court and the opposition couldn't understand how His Majesty so suddenly gave great favor to the daughter of the Yao family, and only Li Mingrui of the Ministry of Rites understood the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and immediately put on a book, the general content is that the Holy Dynasty has always been filial piety, and now Concubine Ning is newly sealed, which is the vast emperor's grace, and when her parents are blessed with grace, but because Concubine Ning is the noble daughter of the Yao family, her hometown is far away from the mountains and roads of the capital, so when you ask Your Majesty to allow Concubine Ning to save the province, at the same time, Li Mingrui also said that although the people of Daming and Xinna are now a little peaceful, the rebellion has been quelled. However, the newly attached people have not yet been able to see the face of the saint and repay the emperor's kindness in case of emergency, so he also asked His Majesty to inspect the land of Xinna, and to spread the emperor's grace and mountains and rivers, and advocate etiquette to the peddlers' pawns.

All in all, in fact, because Zhu Youxiao wanted to leave Beijing again and inspect all parts of the world, especially in the southwest and Liangguang, which had just started maritime trade and had already surpassed the two prefectures of Susong, as well as Siberia and Japan's four islands and Java Island, Zhu Youxiao felt that he had to go to all of them, like Qianlong, to choose one or two places of interest, a few strokes or set up a monument or other ceremonies, and his purpose was not only to brush up on existence and destroy the great rivers and mountains. Rather, it is a sign of occupation of the area, just as an animal would leave some signs in its new occupation zone.

At the same time, it can also be used to win the hearts of the people, so that these people, who have received a certain amount of new education or new annexation, can know first-hand who they should be loyal to now and how great this person is.

Zhu Youxiao was able to determine what Li Mingrui could clearly mean, so when Li Mingrui quickly got on this trick, he was not surprised by this, but ordered the celebrant to approve it, and the Ministry of Rites was responsible for this inspection, that is, Li Mingrui was naturally responsible for this inspection of the world.

This can also be regarded as Zhu Youxiao giving Li Mingrui a chance to regain his political capital, after all, some time ago, because of the cholera incident, he was implicated by his younger brother and Guo Yunhou, the head of the household department, and the blow to him, the leader of the reformists, and now the empire's external expansion is going very smoothly, and the establishment of colonial rule in these places in the later period requires more support from the reformists, so Zhu Youxiao took advantage of the situation and released a signal to re-attach importance to Li Mingrui, of course, if it is a politically astute person, it can also be seen, His Majesty has never intended to really suppress the reformists, and he has to rely on the reformers to carry out further expansion in the future.

Li Mingrui also knew that planning His Majesty Zhu Youxiao's inspection was to determine whether he could restore his previous status in the cabinet or even realize his long-cherished wish to serve as the first assistant and reconsolidate his holy grace, so for Zhu Youxiao's inspection of the world, he was very active and conscientious, almost never day and night to arrange and plan, listed all the dangers and problems that may be encountered along the way, and took out one by one the disgust that can be avoided, and even asked the peddler pawn or the long-distance merchant, The time it actually takes from a certain place to a certain place, he also went to Qin Tianjian to make a prediction of the weather changes in the coming year, which is more difficult, but he still tries his best to prepare for a rainy day.

As soon as he heard that His Majesty the Emperor was going to inspect the world again, the new leader of the old faction, Cheng Jiming, did not stop Zhu Youxiao except frowning, although he was unwilling to let His Majesty the Emperor spend so much money to inspect the world and do this kind of thing that seemed to have greater political significance than economic significance, but after the lessons of the Donglin Party and the Fushe, Cheng Jiming did not dare to directly violate or stop the wishes of His Majesty today, even if he adhered to the spirit that scholars should strive to make His Majesty a generation of saints. Even some imperial historians who wanted to stop him were stopped by him, because he knew that at this time, whoever touched His Majesty's moldy head would die!

The Manchu civil and military forces in the entire capital now almost all know that His Majesty will leave Beijing to inspect the world in the near future, but no one knows the specific time, and no one knows the specific place of travel, which shows how well Li Mingrui has done the secrecy of this inspection, in order not to reveal a little information, he even stayed in the Ministry of Rites for several months, and other officials of the Ministry of Rites are the same, and even the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War to discuss the allocation of funds and the transfer of those military escorts are secret.

Two months later, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the cabinet suddenly issued a decree that His Majesty the Emperor would inspect the world and order the governors of all localities to maintain law and order in the territory, and not to use this to build roads and bridges to exploit and nuisance the people.

At the same time, the Ministry of War also officially transferred Liu Bin's headquarters of the Fifth Army of the Ming Army from the Fengrun training site to Beijing Division, and ordered the South China Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the Yellow Sea Fleet to eliminate all pirates and pirates in the territory within one month.

No one can see where His Majesty Zhu Youxiao is going to inspect now, but the direct transfer of the Fifth Army back to Beijing has the intention of strengthening the vigilance of the Beijing Division, but the First Army Chang Yanling has been training on the outskirts of Beijing, so even if the Ministry of War transfers the Fifth Army into Beijing, it is impossible for people to confirm which army is leaving Beijing with His Majesty.

In addition, within a period of time, a large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi began to leave the capital, almost every day for twelve hours there will be the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the Liangjing Avenue, just like the seventh year of the Apocalypse, when the house was raided everywhere, Ti rode around, making people panic.

After another half a month, the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao suddenly issued a decree, ordering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Cirong to supervise the country, and Jialu Xiangsheng and Chengji were appointed to the official titles, so that people could assist the prince, and at the same time let Li Mingrui, Shang Zhouzuo, Wen Tiren and other officials follow.

Wait until five days before leaving Beijing, from Miyagi to Tongzhou began to pave the loess, and martial law began around the imperial road tentatively, but this time, the Ministry of Rites had already informed Shuntianfu that it was not allowed to disturb the people for no reason, and it was not allowed to gather the people on both sides of the royal road to welcome and send off the holy car, and Zhu Youxiao's Yiluan specially left the capital at dusk, so even when hundreds of people came spontaneously during the day of the day, they waited for five days and did not see the slightest face of the saint.

For the area of Jianghuai and Jiangnan, under the double blow of Zhu Youxiao's control of public opinion and exile in remote places, the power of the gentry group has been completely eradicated, and after several years of New Deal reform, it has tended to be stable, and there is no need for Zhu Youxiao to disturb its commercial and economic order.

On the contrary, with the further deepening of the reform of the New Deal, especially the further penetration of the land reform and return to the southwestern minority areas, these Miao, Tujia and other Shengfan Tusi who have lived in the southwest for generations have great resistance, and at the same time, because a large number of Jiangnan scholars have been exiled to this area, the thinking in this area has become unprecedentedly active, and more and more scholars such as Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan began to criticize the current politics and resist the implementation of the new policy of the imperial court.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao placed the first stop of his inspection in the southwest, and in his opinion, as an emperor, it is necessary for him to sound another alarm bell to these Jiangnan literati who went to the countryside to support the education cause of the Ming Dynasty, warning them to remember the previous lessons, not to secretly make friends with political groups, not to interfere in lawsuits, and to meddle in administrative affairs.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also had to set a tone for the mainstream thinking among the scholars in the entire southwest region, what should be said and what should not be said, perhaps it is necessary to set an example for chickens and monkeys, and it is also necessary to flaunt a few handsome young people with correct ideas.

Of course, these are only the political purposes of inspecting the southwest, since it is not a trip to the capital, naturally can not be full of government affairs, when it is time to relax, you have to relax, appreciate your own country, taste the local food that is not made by the royal kitchen, and see the folk entertainment and the new changes in the Ming Dynasty in recent years is also the purpose of this inspection.

In Baoding and Zhending Mansion in the territory of Beizhili, Zhu Youxiao did not stay long, basically in a hurry, after entering the territory of Shanxi, he only met Sun Chuanting in Datong, and the two boarded Datong Guancheng together to talk about some military and political issues, and within two days, Zhu Youxiao set off directly to Xi'an.

At this time, the emperor Sun Chengzong, who has been changed from the trilateral general system to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, has been waiting for a long time, since the seventh year of the Apocalypse to the high position of a dignified scholar, after the emperor's honor was sent to Shaanxi, Sun Chengzong has not seen his own student and monarch for more than ten years.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong is still very excited about this, and now that he is past his prime, he doesn't know how long he can live, but he can still see the holy face again in his lifetime, but it is also a matter of death without regrets.

According to the original history, Sun Chengzong would have been killed by the Manchu Tartars in this year because the Manchu Tartars broke Gaoyang, Baoding, and Sun Chengzong, who had been resigned and returned to his hometown, was killed by the Manchu Tartars, but at this moment in the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already been destroyed, and Sun Chengzong naturally would not die in this year, and maybe he could live for a few more years.

But even so, Sun Chengzong is now a seventy-six person, even if he does not die, he is already a dying old man, and in order to avoid being said by the imperial history that he loves the throne, Sun Chengzong himself took the initiative to ask the old man to return to his hometown several times.

But Zhu Youxiao did not approve it, and now the entire Ming territory is no longer comparable to the past, and Shaanxi and Gansu undertake the important task of the logistics supply base for the Ming army's westward advance and northward march to Siberia, so it is necessary to coordinate with an important minister here.

Zhu Youxiao naturally will not let Sun Chengzong return to his hometown, and now the most lacking thing in the Ming Dynasty is officials, especially this kind of feudal official who coordinates one party, Sun Chengzong, a capable official who has prestige and administrative ability and is old and respectful, naturally cannot be idle.

To put it cruelly, Zhu Youxiao would rather his teacher die of exhaustion on the post than let him return to his hometown to recuperate, because Daming still needs him.

Leaving Xi'an, Zhu Youxiao went to Hanzhong, and happened to pass through Qin'an County, where Qi Biaojia was located.

Because of the improvement in Tai'an County's financial revenue over the years, Qi Biaojia, as the teacher of Tai'an County, has also improved his income.

But he is accustomed to farming life, he still has a few acres of land, and he will go to the field to toss a few times on students' vacation days or in the evening or in the morning when there is no class, for Qi Biaojia, he has liked this state of life.

When Zhu Youxiao happened to arrive in Qin'an County, there was a secret report from Dongchang that Qi Biaojia, a giant of Donglin, was teaching in this county, and one of the goals of Zhu Youxiao's trip was to see what these Jiangnan scholars who were exiled to the mountains and poor places to teach in the past are what they look like now.

Therefore, after learning that Qi Biaojia, who was quite dignified and arrogant but couldn't pee in a pot with himself, was actually in this remote county that did not look very inconspicuous, he ordered someone to inform the local magistrate and immediately pack up the county office, and he, the emperor, was going to spend a few days in this Qin'an County.

The magistrate of Qin'an County was naturally flattered when he heard this, and in order to welcome the holy driver, he obeyed the will and hurriedly used his small treasury to repair the county government for the first time. The magistrate has always been rich and does not repair the yamen, after all, repairing the yamen not only costs money but also has a reputation for embezzling money, but at this moment, in order to make His Majesty more comfortable, the magistrate of Qin'an County can't take care of so much, not to mention that he still uses his own small treasury, and he doesn't have the money in the gong.

By the time Zhu Youxiao's holy car arrived in Qin'an County, the officials of Qin'an County had already knelt outside the city gate to greet him, and Yan De, the magistrate of Qin'an County, was all born in Gongsheng, and he had never seen the current saint in his life, and the other county officials were naturally the same, but only Qi Biaojia was quite calm, after all, he was still a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and he had also been an official in the court, so he had seen Zhu Youxiao.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao got out of the carriage, he walked to a person wearing a seven-grade official uniform with his hands behind his back: "You are Yan Dequan, the magistrate of the county?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is exactly", after Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, answered, Zhu Youxiao only nodded, but at this time, the magistrate of Qin'an County was already trembling all over, but Zhu Youxiao didn't notice that Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, was scared like this by himself.

At this time, he was looking at another young official with dirt on his shoes but a dignified face with thin yellow muscles, and couldn't help asking, "I can see that you are not afraid of me, tell me, who are you?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare not be afraid of Your Majesty, Wechen is Qi Biaojia, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and has been blessed with His Majesty's grace to come here to teach and practice farming", Qi Biaojia returned and gave a big salute to Zhu Youxiao again.

"Since you don't dare to be afraid, why do you wear a pair of cloth shoes full of mud to see me", Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask Yan Dequan: "Didn't you give me clothes, hats, shoes and socks?" ”

Yan Dequan hurriedly knelt down and denied it.
