After some disguise, Zhu Youzhen immediately changed from a noble prince to a poor and sour little family, which is very consistent with his ** silk temperament in his previous life.

Rui'er smiled when she saw it: "The prince is dressed like this, and when he walks to the market, even if he meets Rui'er, Rui'er may not be able to recognize it!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "This is the effect you want!" Isn't there a saying, people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold. Peel off this skin, and then act well. Otherwise, everywhere you go, you will call and hug each other, and the gong will open the way, what's the point? ”

At this time, Lin Youkun and Sun Chuanting also changed their outfits. Lin Youkun also pretended to be a housekeeper, but his camouflage skills were relatively ordinary, and he still walked in a tiger's style, and he couldn't hide his fierce eyes, like a thug in a bully's house.

Sun Chuanting pretended to be a housekeeper. This is also Zhu Youzhen's idea, after going out, he will take Sun Chuanting, who has the lowest official position, as the master, and Zhu Youzhen and Lin Youkun as followers.

In fact, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty generally lived deep in the mansion and rarely went out. Even with occasional travel, there is a set of cumbersome procedures. First of all, the chief eunuch of the palace should report to the local town guard eunuch, and the long history of the palace should also be reported to the local prefect. Both the eunuch and the prefect had to approve it before the vassal king could travel. Even so, there must be both the town guard eunuch and the local official to send people to follow the whole process, called escort, but in fact surveillance.

The imperial court has been so wary of vassal kings since the Yongle period of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. is because Zhu Di was originally a vassal king, and he relied on rebellion to obtain the throne. He knew that the greatest threat to the imperial power was not foreign invasion or rebellion by the common people, but from within the imperial family.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang imitated the ancient system and crowned his descendants as kings and distributed them all over the country. He believed that once there was a change in the world, the royal families everywhere could raise troops to help the imperial court pacify the world.

Zhu Di proved with his own practical actions that this kind of thinking is really stupid and naïve. As the most qualified prince to covet the great treasure, as long as he has military power, he can rebel under the banner of "Qingjun's side" like himself.

After killing the current emperor, he can find a random reason, such as that he was killed by a traitorous minister, and he couldn't save himself, so he cried bitterly, and then he could rightfully ascend the throne and sit in the palace.

In order to prevent this situation from endangering the imperial power from happening again, Zhu Di gradually deprived the vassal kings of various places of their military powers, turning them into high-ranking prisoners with fine clothes and food. And under such high pressure, the vassal kings everywhere had to be cautious, indulge in lust all day long, anesthetize themselves with fine wine and beautiful women, and spend their lives in a daze.

Therefore, if Zhu Youzhen wants to walk out of the Xinwang Mansion according to the normal procedures, it will take ten days and half a month just to complete these cumbersome procedures, and the daylily will really be cold. Moreover, without sufficient legitimate reasons, not to mention the eunuchs and local officials, he couldn't even pass Guan Ning's pass.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen came up with the idea of traveling in disguise. At first, Lin Youkun strongly objected. Because the vassal king went out of the palace in micro-service, the stakes were significant, and once the news was leaked, he, the military attache in charge of the palace guard, would bear the brunt of the attack, and it would be light to be beheaded, and if he didn't do it, he would be executed by Ling Chi, and his house would be destroyed.

But Zhu Youzhen has his own way. He first said with a gloomy face: "Commander Lin, this current official is not as good as the current management, no matter what, you are now in the Xinwang Mansion, you have to listen to the orders of this king, right?" If you make this king unhappy, think about it, with the relationship between this king and Banzai, just make up a reason and play a copy of you in front of you, do you have to go around without eating? ”

Seeing that Lin Youkun's face changed even more in fright, and cold sweat flowed, Zhu Youzhen smiled evilly: "But Lord Lin, don't worry, this king is joking with you." What is our relationship? You are desperately escorting on the official road in Tongzhou, how can this king forget? You are not on good terms with Guan Ning, does this king face you every time? This time, this king went on a trip in Weifu, there was no other reason, just to see the suffering of the victims with his own eyes, and he would go back when he went, what sin could he have? And we're all dressed up in disguise, so we can't show our feet. Even if someone is noisy, this king will bear it with all his might, and it has nothing to do with Lord Lin. ”

Lin Youkun was moved by Zhu Youzhen's words, but he was still a little hesitant. Zhu Youzhen saw that the heat was almost over, and finally said: "If this matter is done, Lord Lin will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." Moreover, I have to give Banzai to see if I can remove the word "deputy" from your "deputy commander"! ”

Lin Youkun was finally completely persuaded by Zhu Youzhen, gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "In the future, but according to His Royal Highness's orders, the ministers will go to the soup immediately, and they will never frown!" ”

While Lin Youkun went to secretly arrange the matter of leaving the house, Sun Chuanting raised his thumbs and praised: "Your Highness is a good means!" Knowing it first with reason, then moving it with affection, and finally tempting it to benefit, Lord Lin can only be arrested. ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled embarrassedly: "I know Lin Youkun too well, don't look at his strong martial arts, but his courage is not much bigger than sesame, and he values money more." Such a person can be made in a flash. If someone else is changed, I am afraid that these tricks may not work. ”

Sun Chuanting also smiled and said: "Your Highness can recognize and employ people, only this one, you are a complete virtuous king." However, I have never heard the word 'flickering' that you just mentioned, so I don't know what it means. ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly covered up: "Ah... This is the dialect of the princess's mother's family, and this king sounds interesting and has just learned. ”

The three of them packed up and slipped out of a remote corner door. Originally, the palace was heavily guarded, and there were guards everywhere. But the head of the guard cheats, and this kind of vigilance is useless.

At this time, the three of them were all dressed as civilians, and it was too eye-catching to ride in a carriage, so they had to walk north. Sun Chuanting whispered to Zhu Youzhen as he walked: "Not far north of the palace is Desheng Gate, and there are a large number of victims outside Desheng Gate, Your Highness may wish to take a look." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and the three of them came to the door of Desheng. In a short time, they will come to the city gate. Zhu Youzhen saw that this place was different from the Guangqu Gate and Chaoyang Gate that he had seen before, and outside the city gate, there was still a huge semicircular urn city. The urn city is connected with the inner city wall as a whole, and there is a tall arrow tower above the urn city gate, which echoes with the city tower on the main city gate, and the momentum is magnificent.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen looked at it seriously, Sun Chuanting introduced on the side: "This Desheng Gate is one of the nine gates of Beijing's inner city, located in the north wall of the inner city, slightly west, and is an important passage connecting Beijing and the northern region. When the soldiers set out to fight, they all went out of the city from this gate, taking its meaning of 'victory'. When returning to the army, he entered the city from the Anding Gate in the east, which means that 'the world is stable, and the soldiers stop'. ”

"What if we lose the battle?" The creature asked heartlessly.

Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly: "After losing the battle, I also entered the city from Andingmen. I didn't settle down this time, so I had to wait for the next time to settle down. ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed, and asked with interest: "What is the use of this urn city?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "The city gate is the most easily breached part of the city wall, and it needs to be strictly defended more than other places. In order to ensure the safety of the city gate, build another urn outside the city to prevent the enemy army from directly breaking through the city gate with a battering ram and killing into the city. Even if the enemy army invaded the urn city, the battering ram was huge and cumbersome, and it was impossible to move in for a while. At this time, our army can shoot from all sides of the city wall, close the door and beat the dogs of the enemy troops in the urn, and catch turtles in the urn. ”

Zhu Youzhen saw Sun Chuanting talking eloquently, and praised him heartily: "I didn't expect Mr. to be so proficient in military affairs. I think this Deshengmen urn city seems to be bigger than the Zhengyangmen urn city, but I don't know why? ”

Sun Chuanting explained: "In the past, Chengzu set the national policy of 'the Son of Heaven should guard the country' and moved the capital from Jinling to Jingshi. Because the Jingshi was too close to the border, the Warat and Tatar invaded several times since then, and all of them attacked the city of Jingshi. Because the gate of Desheng is in the north, it is often the first to bear the brunt, and it is built more solidly than other city gates.

"Thinking that he also entered the Kou first, our army was changed by the civil fort, and the three major battalions were wiped out overnight, and Yingzong hunted in the north. Yu Shaobao turned the tide, and it was outside this Desheng Gate that he personally supervised the formation, and ordered 'those who retreat first regardless of the army before the battle will be beheaded; The army does not care about those who will retreat first, and the rear team will cut the front team'. As a result, the soldiers used their lives to fight fiercely with Yexian, and finally killed the enemy back. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know that this Deshengmen still had such a glorious history, and he listened to it fascinated for a while. However, he thought for a while and said, "I don't understand, why does this urn city protrude outwards and be attacked on three sides?" If you recess into the city, won't the area of defense be smaller when facing the enemy? Moreover, the urn city protruded, and the enemy knew at a glance that they were not fools, so why did they have to attack from here, maybe they would just climb the city wall. In that case, won't this urn city become an ornament? ”

Sun Chuanting didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to ask this question. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with great joy: "Yes, the urn city should be built in the city!" Your Highness, why didn't you think of this section! Not only did the ministers not expect it, but the vast majority of courtiers and generals probably didn't expect it! His Royal Highness is wise and powerful, and the ministers are beyond his reach! ”

Zhu Youzhen was startled when he saw him making a big noise, and hurriedly said, "Sir, be quiet!" It's no joke to let others hear it! ”

Sun Chuanting realized his gaffe at this time, and hurriedly lowered his voice, but he still couldn't suppress his excitement, and said in a loud voice: "When the minister goes back, he must immediately play the chapter, and suggest that the imperial court rebuild all the urn cities in the city!" No, no, no, it should be His Royal Highness's recital, and the minister seconded it! ”

Zhu Youzhen was noncommittal, thinking to himself that the two of us are a prince who eats idle dinner, and a professor from Jiupin, who has no power at all. If you really want to go to the book, it is a good result to sink into the sea. In case you want to be detained again as a "transgressive and eventful" hat, you may not even be allowed to eat.

Passing through the Desheng Gate, Zhu Youzhen was immediately stunned by the scene outside the city.
