With Zhu Cihong's order, in the sound of the cannon, dozens of high-grade military attachés fell to the ground, and the surrounding was full of joy.

Since Wanli, the Great Emperor has rarely been out of the palace, and it is very difficult for ordinary officials to meet each other, let alone ordinary people. Before Wanli, the Son of Heaven sacrificed to beg for rain, and when he participated in certain ceremonies, he was forbidden from the palace to go out of the city, or when he went to a certain palace garden, the people had the opportunity to see the sky...... However, that was also a few decades ago.

This time, the people of Huai'an are blessed, when they saw the face of the crown prince, many people couldn't close their mouths with smiles, and some old Xiucai were already playing the draft...... In the future, the epitaph will have to be rewritten!

It was not until the sun turned into a red ball and was about to set that Zhu Cihong entered the governor's yamen to rest, and the people around were also persuaded and guided by the soldiers and officials, and dispersed one after another.

This time there was a lot of commotion, and the aftermath did not completely dissipate until months later.

And it can be learned afterwards that Zhu Cihong used thunderous means, annexed a strong army of a feudal domain, brazenly killed the general soldiers and the generals under his command, together with the guest soldiers of Shandong Town as the annihilators, and killed nearly 1,000 people before and after, so decisive and strong, in the same time that he subdued an army composed of tens of thousands of people, it also shocked many people, and its effect was so great that sometimes even Zhu Cihong himself did not completely figure it out.

For him, he just became fat after eating one bite, but he didn't die at all...... There are still a lot of things to do, at least, after eating, it is eaten, but Zhu Cihong is like a giant python that has swallowed a wild boar, and he can't do anything for a long time, and all he can do is digest.

However, this is also very beneficial to Zhu Cihong, because from his own martial arts practice to small-scale military training, fighting, and then to the raid on Liu Zeqing, Zhu Cihong has always been stepping on a tightrope.

To put it mildly, it is very anxious for quick success. There are many things, all of which are done in a hurry, and they are very anxious.

Huai'an is two states and nine counties, and there are more than one million households according to the account books, but in fact, the hidden households of the Ming Dynasty are very serious, at least four to seven times the number of hidden households, that is to say, under his rule, there are about 60,000 nominal troops, five or six thousand mules and horses, as well as large shipyards, warehouses, millions of people, and Chongzhen just arrived in Nanjing, when the regime was still chaotic, Nanjing could not take care of it, Lu Zhenfei had some inconvenient things to interfere in, and the prince was there, Nor is it something that a governor can sway at will.

As a result, Zhu Cihong was tired to death during this period of time, and before he went to Nanjing, he only barely stabilized the situation in various places, the situation of officials and gentry was investigated, and the garrison was initially stable, so that he dared to leave for a period of time.

That's it, it's also exhausting, but with this test, the future Shi Political Army can be regarded as really having a beginning.

Zhu Cihong is no longer a crown prince who is in the deep palace and ignorant of the world, let alone a slightly scoundrel, fanciful and even rude and reckless man in later generations.

………… Chen Mingxia has been following Zhu Cihong's side, when the crown prince accepted the cheers, he retreated behind the prince very measuredly, and when Lu Zhenfei came over, this young official, who has always been arrogant, was still very polite to his seniors, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "It is very appropriate for the lord to leave Liu Zeming and others to His Royal Highness for disposal, and the students admire it very much." ”

Lu Zhenfei is obviously very tired these days, his eye sockets have sunk into a few points, and the return of the salute is also light and fluttering, and he has no energy, but when he heard Chen Mingxia's words, he still replied very solemnly: "Etiquette and law cannot be abolished, and what students do is just doing things according to the rules of the court." ”

"Even so, but the Lord is very clear about what he does, although His Highness did not say anything, but the students know that His Highness is very satisfied...... Chen Mingxia said in a deep voice: "My lord, in the future, the prince may be the right hand of His Highness." ”

Chen Mingxia's tentative intention is very obvious, at this stage, even if he has some selfish intentions, but this person is desperately trying to pull the team for Zhu Cihong and expand his strength, and this level of thinking is still very eager.

After all, this person is now completely dependent on Zhu Cihong, the crown prince is strong, and he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future and become a generation of famous ministers. With Chen Mingxia's enthusiasm, how could he not work hard?

Lu Zhenfei smiled slightly, and replied to the question: "Nandu, if the emperor knows the news, I am afraid that he will also send a messenger over." ”

He replied without answering, and the meaning was also very clear, everything was based on Chongzhen's intentions, and I didn't have any certain opinions.

This answer is not satisfactory, but it is not bad, at least Lu Zhenfei has been very cooperative from beginning to end, and there is no resistance now.

Chen Mingxia laughed, and his smile was very exaggerated...... He replied proudly, "How can we stand by our hands? Today, the students have asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to leave, and they will leave for the southern capital tonight! ”

As he spoke, he also wiped the dust that did not exist on his robe, looking like a wisdom bead in his hand, very bullish. It's a pity that Zhu Cihong is beckoning to the people, and Wei Yue and others are close to the guards, Feng Kaizhang and Gong Xiaozu and others are also scattered, except for a thoughtful Lu Zhenfei, few people see his majestic image.

"It's really fitting to go on with your feet."

Fortunately, Lu Zhenfei is a smart person, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "I have a few domestic servants, who often go to Nandu, and how many good horses there are, I don't know if Baishi wants it?" ”

"Of course!"

For this expression of being one step closer, Chen Mingxia naturally agreed and readily agreed.

After dark, Zhu Cihong personally taught the opportunity, and when he was in charge of the lamp, although he had traveled back and forth from Yangzhou a few days ago, Chen Mingxia still took a few of his henchmen and family members, plus the people and horses given by Lu Zhenfei, a total of six people, holding torches and going on the road overnight, and it is expected that in the afternoon of tomorrow, they will rush back to Nandu.

………… When Zhu Cihong arrived in Huai'an, and inspected for several days, secretly arranged, and prepared to take the risk of capturing Liu Zeqing's army, Emperor Chongzhen also landed at Longjiang Pass, and met the ministers on the river beach, and then under the guidance of Han, Zhan, Ke, Dao and other guides, rode the royal horse Jiliang from Longjiang Pass into Nanjing, the people along the way heard the wind, afraid that there were not hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the road, many people spontaneously put on the incense case, lit incense candles, put on the fruit wine, and waited for the arrival of the royal car under the cover of the Huangluo umbrella, the people did not wait for people to speak, Naturally, they bowed down...... Many elderly people are tearful and ...... How many years have we not been to Nanjing, the emperor has been...... Shi Kefa originally picked up King Fu, but before he crossed the river, he took the emperor back.

This is a great event, but the people who do the work are also making a fuss.

Because what was originally prepared for King Fu was the inner garrison mansion, that is, the territory of Xincheng Bozhao Zhilong, he sent someone to clean it a while ago, and the place that should be repaired was also repaired, the color paintings were also painted, the decorative items were also placed, and the silk utensils were pasted in the room, which fully reimbursed more than 100,000 silver...... Not to mention the fact that the silver was completely lost at this time, where the emperor lived became a big problem.

"Of course I live in the palace," Shi Kefa and Zhao Zhilong and others couldn't, so they had to come forward to ask for instructions, Chongzhen was very happy, and immediately said: "And, of course, I still live in the Qianqing Palace." ”

"Yes, yes, this was supposed to be the ......" Zhao Zhilong has a ghost in his heart, because he is also very hard-working, and Liu Kongzhao, who is even harder-working, is very cunning, and Shicai also cried in front of the emperor, and then this sincere uncle ran away and pushed everything to Zhao Zhilong and Shi Kefa.

And Shi Kefa has no talents, the two of them sweated like rain in Nanjing City in the spring and April, and after half a ring, it was Shi Kefa who stiffened his head and said: "I originally thought it was ...... Alas, the ministers were originally going to welcome the king of blessing, and the cleaning up was the inner garrison mansion, the southern capital palace was forbidden for more than 200 years, and there was no king to live for a long time, all of which have been destroyed, very damp and dilapidated, and many places have collapsed, how can the emperor live? ”

When Shi Kefa played it, he just lowered his head and kept talking, but he didn't look at Chongzhen's face.

At that time, he had already entered the Chaoyang Gate, because the emperor wanted to go to Xiaoling to worship Emperor Taizu Gao, so he specially made a detour, and entered the city from the Chaoyang Gate, because there were too many pedestrians on the roadside, the emperor temporarily stopped in a place to rest, surrounded by accompanying ministers, all of them were sweating profusely, but their faces were shining.

Because Shicai is walking with the holy car, so whether it is the general on horseback and all the personal soldiers and slaves, or the civil officials in the sedan chair, everyone can only get off the horse and walk, only the emperor rides alone, so all the people along the way see it, it is the mountain to call long live, very excited, at this time, Chongzhen is a little tired, those civil officials with an average age of more than fifty are tired, the emperor wants to rest, and most of them are taking care of them.

This was unimaginable in Chongzhen in the past, but after the catastrophe, even if it was hard-hearted, it had indeed changed.

At this time, the minister who followed was nearby, and there was a large group of people who rushed over to meet the saint when they heard the news, and everyone listened to Shi Kefa's words, and they also looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Hey!" Chongzhen was very disapproving, and lightly ...... After this action in the past, it must have been a thunderstorm and rainstorm, and Han Zanzhou and other eunuchs who understood the emperor's psychology and habits very well all changed color on their faces, and their faces turned pale with fright...... Unexpectedly, the emperor was stunned, and then said to the two ministers in a very calm tone: "I still live in the palace, what is damp?" Could it be more difficult than at sea? ”

Saying this, Shi Kefa was first stunned, and then, the minister who had recently made himself anxious burst into tears, lying on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, only saying: "The minister is a capital crime, a capital crime, a capital crime!" ”

As soon as he kowtowed, hundreds of ministers naturally knelt down and kowtowed, and the ground shook for a moment.

However, all the ten ** people are sincere and righteous, and they are very respectful to the emperor. Many people thought in their hearts: "The emperor eats supper at night, it is not luxurious, it is not easy to enjoy, it is really true, the fox and rabbit in the forbidden palace in Nanjing are basically like a deserted temple, and the emperor does not care...... It's really ...... It's just that there is a king like this, how can it get to such a point......"
