Zhu Youxiao's horses are usually raised by the imperial horse supervisor in the north of the Yuanhui Palace and the north of the Donghua Gate, except for the emperor who can ride a horse in the Forbidden City, the rest are on foot, and the horses with knives and horses of the Han generals are outside the right gate of Chang'an.

Ensuring the safety of the emperor is the top priority of Jinyiwei, and every time he goes out, he is a close member of the emperor, such as the nine people who accompanied him this time are the scattered horsemen headed by Zhu Yuanchen (rank eight, under the test hundred households).

Zhu Yuanchen is a descendant of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, his father is Zhu Yingkui, who has passed away, and now it is his brother Zhu Chunchen who is the former military governor of the left capital of the palace seal. In the original history, Zhu Chunchen offered Chaoyangmen when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and persuaded Chen Yan to enter, and was later executed. According to the "Ming Ji Nanluo, Volume 5", Zhu Yuanchen was included in the "stealing life and losing the master, and being ashamed of the lords", and there is a legend in the "National History of the Loyal and Righteous Biography of the Former Compiler" (in the National Palace Museum in Taipei), which shows that he finally surrendered to Jiannu.

It is the practice of the dynasties to take turns to carry swords and guards among the burly and out-of-the-box courtiers, and to wear gold belts and pythons when they go out, and they are covered with gold armor, showing the majesty of the Son of Heaven. It's still too peaceful now, and because Zhu Youxiao didn't know that the sons of these lords would take the lead in carrying the Ming Dynasty in the future, so he didn't make any changes, but he also knew that after years of pampering, the descendants of these lords had long lost the loyalty and courage of their ancestors, and they couldn't be relied on.

Because of repeated requests not to disturb the people, so this time out of the palace without a guard of honor to accompany the party, out of the right gate of Chang'an, the opener is subordinate to the Jinyi Wei of the bannerman, on both sides of the Jinyi Wei Han general, Zhu Youxiao rode a black horse in the center, followed by Sun Chengzong, Ji Yong, and then Zhu Yuanchen and other guards with knives, even so, the whole team is above two hundred.

"Master Sun, is there anything wrong with the right door just now?" Zhu Youxiao already looked like he was holding the reins with both hands, and remembered that he was before, and asked Sun Chengzong, who was riding a white horse half a way behind, to the left side.

Sun Chengzong's riding skills are a lot more skillful, he holds the reins with one hand, strokes his beard with the other, and replied with a calm expression, "No, from the two things handled by Your Majesty, Your Majesty will become the king of the Holy Ming?" ”

"Oh, but it's a trivial matter, sir, it's a bit exaggerated."

"Your Majesty's handling of internal officials can be seen as if the weight is light, and the pursuit of the deceased and the support of the former emperor's bereaval can be seen to be filial piety and generosity, which is the style of a Ming monarch."

Zhu Youxiao's face was praised and blushed, since the Japanese lecture, Sun Chengzong was always meticulous when teaching with a ring ruler in the Yangxin Palace, which made him feel as if he had returned to the classroom.

"Sir is serious, I still think that Sir is laughing at me and acting as 'a woman's kindness'."

"Your Majesty did not hesitate to cut Yang Ho's sacrificial flag, collude with Li Jinzhong and others, how can you be kind to a woman?" Sun Chengzong always remembered his duty as an emperor and taught, "Whoever rules the world must be based on human affection, and those who favor human affection have likes and dislikes, so rewards and punishments can be used, and rewards and punishments can be used, and bans can be established, and governance tools can be used." ”

Sun Chengzong saw that the Son of Heaven frowned when he heard this, and continued, "There is a cloud in the Tao Te Ching, 'The saint often has no heart, and takes the heart of the people as his heart', if Your Majesty pushes the heart of the emperor's fifth brother to the heart of the people of the world, you can let the people of the world power; ”

Zhu Youxiao had no aversion to Sun Chengzong's teaching, knowing that he was teaching himself the emperor's mental skills, and his heart was full of gratitude.

After the right gate of Chang'an, turn to Xuanwumenli Street through West Chang'an Street, and then turn to Shijuma Hutong to the south is where Wang Gongchang is located, and Wang Gongchang is surrounded by corridors to form a hollow rectangular mansion.

Wang Gong Factory is the Anmin Factory, supervised by the internal officials, set up a member of the eunuch in charge of the factory, more than 10 members of the factory and the book, 60 craftsmen and several small craftsmen, and the armor factory is in charge of the construction of armor, guns, bows and arrows, gunpowder and the like.

Because Zhu Youxiao sent the guns and gunpowder to Liaodong, the treasury is now empty, and the eunuchs in charge of the factory have also been abolished, and Liu Ruoyu of the War Bureau is also the commander, and the original craftsmen and others have moved to the southwest of Mentougou to prepare for the construction of a new arsenal in the col near Tantuo Temple, leaving only one Wu Er (the only survivor of Wang Gongchang's explosion "Two Dynasties from the Letter") of the eunuch led more than 100 small craftsmen to assist.

The original funds of Wang Gong Factory were allocated by the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry sent a supervisor to supervise it. After Zhu You's school changed the nature of Wang Gong's factory to research and development, he was led by Shuntianfu Cheng Bi Maokang, who was responsible for coordinating with various ministries; Mao Yuanyi, the supervisor of the country, was the staff officer of the Privy Council, and the main weapon research and development was carried out.

Zhu Youxiao inspected Wang Gong's factory for a week before summoning Bi Maokang and others in the hall of the government office in the southwest corner.

Bi Maokang is a passerby in Nanzhi Huizhou Prefecture [shè] County, Wanli 26 years of the third class Jinshi, in the 46th year of Wanli in August of the 46th year of the promotion of Shun Tianfu Cheng (Zheng Sipin), he also has a brother named Maoliang, for Taichang Siqing (Zheng Sanpin).

Bi Maokang is 49 years old, dressed in regular clothes and kneeling at the bottom, because he is qualified to participate in the early dynasty (the imperial gate to listen to the government), plus the temple of the gods, the temple of light, so he is not as careful as Mao Yuanyi kneeling behind him.

When Zhu Youxiao saw Bi Maokang, he remembered the resettlement of women and children in Liaodong, and asked, "Bi Aiqing, can the construction outside the city be smooth?" ”

"At first, Lord Chen (Yin Chen Avenue of Shuntian Mansion) surveyed the Cihui Temple outside the Fucheng Gate in the west of the city as a place for resettlement, but Cheng Guogong was unwilling to donate the manor, so he had to choose another site, and it will be presented at a certain time."

Zhu Youxiao leaned back on the chair, erlang's legs were erected, knowing that this was a black complaint, and said with a smile, "Do you have to be in the west of the city?" ”

"The ministers inherited the previous edict and placed the border people in the west of the three battalions under the five military camps of Fuchengmen, in order to prevent spies. Others, such as Anding, although there are garrisons outside the gate, are also dung fields and mass graves; There is Dongyue Temple outside Chaoyang Gate, which is a mixed residence for civilians; Outside the southern city is Nanhaizi (that is, the later Nanyuan), which is the land for fruit and vegetable farming, which is inappropriate. ”

Zhu Youxiao saw that he was cautious and did not blame, but it was a little inappropriate for him to take back the manor given to the lord by the previous dynasty and not promise to compensate him, presumably Chen Dadao and Zhu Chunchen also had a confrontation, these things did not come to him, which means that Chen Dadao did not want to offend the lord either. In addition, the resettlement point for women and children is set up next to the barracks, and it is difficult to say that he has no intention of being a matchmaker.

After careful questioning, I learned that Zhu Chunchen's manor was in the southwest of the three camps, and in addition to the house, there were more than ten hectares of farmland used as vegetable fields. In the west of the city, Zhu Youxiao planned to build a railway from Mentougou to Beijing, and there were several small lakes in the northwest corner, that is, where the Old Summer Palace was located in later generations, so there is no doubt that the west of the city should be developed first under the current limited financial resources.

"Let's be flat." After Zhu Youxiao asked Bi Maokang and the others to get up, he summoned Zhu Yuanchen to him, "Can Chengguogong's manor outside the city be inhabited?" ”

After the factory guard investigated this matter, Zhu Yuanchen did not dare to hide it, and knelt down on one knee before giving a military salute before replying, "Back to the emperor, my brother will go out of the city to live for a few days in his spare time." ”

The implication is that he will not live often, Zhu Youxiao knew that he still had to use his strength to maintain the stability of the army, and after thinking for a while, he said, "In this case, I will find another place near the West Lake in the western suburbs and give it to the Duke of Chengguo, and let the house and manor outside the Fucheng Gate be used as a government office and a resettlement center." ”

Zhu Yuanchen has experienced the edification of generations, and naturally knows the truth of both prosperity and loss, if he accepts the advice of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely be scolded when he turns back, not to mention that the house outside the city was given by the emperor, so he knelt down and said, "The last general will thank Your Majesty for his grace on behalf of his brother, there must be some misunderstanding in this, the last general can send the manor to the court on behalf of his brother, and the matter of choosing another homestead in the western suburbs can be done." ”

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with his attitude, but he didn't plan to give up, because the development of the vicinity of West Lake requires a lot of investment, and it is also a good thing to have courtiers involved, so he smiled and said, "Get up, I have made up my mind." But the ugly words are ahead, the land can be given to the prince of Chengguo, and the house can be built with your own money. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Yuanchen didn't see Bi Maokang who was rolling his eyes on the side, and after thanking him, he got up and exited the door, and secretly wiped a handful of sweat when no one was around.
