Chapter 541: The First Imperial City in the World

When Tang Ming said goodbye to Zhu Gaochi, he fulfilled his previous promise and left him with the sixty spaceships he brought this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And Zhu Gaochi also handed over the previously written holy decree to Tang Ming, and asked him to go to Beiping in a month, and he would officially give Tang Ming the title in the main hall in front of hundreds of officials.

Tang Ming nodded in agreement without any objection, and Zhu Gaochi personally came to the dock to see Tang Ming off, and only turned around to go back after watching his ship go away. He was in a good mood and didn't stay in Yuegang for long, so he hurried back to Beiping with light loads!

Zhu Yong had already seen the abnormality from Tang Ming's complexion, and it was obvious that he must have gone to the appointment as he wished, and the emperor should not be hostile to him. From this point of view, Tang Ming can reconcile with Daming again in the future, which may not be a good thing for Zhu Yong. Thinking that he didn't need to be caught between Zhu Gaochi and Tang Ming in the future, he was also very happy.

On Ryukyu Island, Tang Ming did not stay, and on the day of his return, he summoned the merchants who had already arrived on Ryukyu Island, informed them of the dumping plan he had planned before, and asked them to arrange for the fleet to go to sea as soon as possible.

Then he took a hot air balloon back to Jeju Island, and this trip lasted nearly ten days until he returned to Jeju Island. Zheng He, Yao Guangxiao and others also learned some news, and Tang Ming was caught by Zheng He for questioning as soon as he got off the hot air balloon.

"You and the emperor met at Yuegang?" Zheng He pulled Tang Ming into the academy and asked directly in front of Yao Guangxiao and Fang Xiaoru.

Zheng He and the others got the news, Tang Ming was not surprised at all, and then nodded and said, "Yes, this is the holy decree he gave me. In the future, if the father-in-law and the master miss Daming, they can go back at any time! ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled, nodded to Tang Ming, and then went back to his house first, Tang Ming was very puzzled by this, and he didn't know what he meant.

Zheng He took the holy decree handed over by Tang Ming, scanned it roughly, and explained with a chuckle on his face: "Master Zun has been paying attention to you since he learned that you went to make an appointment with the emperor. Although his old man is now an outsider, his homesickness has not been discarded, so he has always been looking forward to returning to Daming in his lifetime. ”

Nodding, Tang Ming expressed his understanding, and then asked Zheng He: "What about you, father-in-law, do you also want to go back to Daming?" ”

At this time, Fang Xiaoru suddenly said leisurely: "As long as it is a person from the Ming Dynasty, who would not want to go back, it is said that the old man's departure has passed a few years unconsciously." If there is a chance, the old man also wants to go back and have a look! ”

Tang Ming smiled and promised: "Now that the son-in-law has made an agreement with the emperor, all the previous grievances have been settled, in the past few days, I have arranged some trivial matters on the island and will leave for Beiping to be crowned, if the father-in-law does not dislike it, you can go together!" ”

"Hahaha, that's great!" Fang Xiaoru laughed happily, nodded and left Xiang Yao Guangxiao's room.

Zheng He also laughed at this time and said, "Okay, when you will tell me the time, and the three of us will go together at that time." ”

patted Tang Ming on the shoulder, Zheng He's happiness was beyond words, and there was a feeling that the prodigal son was about to return home. Tang Ming felt the same way, but it was a pity that he couldn't go back to his home. Now he can only regard Daming as his second hometown, in order to comfort the heart of the prodigal son.

After Zhu Gaochi returned to Beiping, he immediately ordered that all the wharves and ports should be open to Tang Ming, and as long as merchants with Tang Ming's identity certificates could trade in any port of Daming.

At the same time, he also said in front of the civil and military officials that he was about to be crowned the king of the opposite sex of Tang Ming, which immediately made the ministers dissatisfied. In the face of many voices opposing him, Zhu Gaochi gave these officials a very high-profile face. even deliberately arrested two speech officials that he was not used to seeing, and directly cut off their heads and then raided their homes.

The use of killing chickens and monkeys to make an example of all opposition voices was suppressed, and no one dared to have any dissatisfaction with this matter after that.

Zhu Gaochi's current image is in the eyes of hundreds of officials, and his murderous temperament does not belong to the emperor at all. And Zhu Gaochi is now not only killing people but also raiding his home, since he ascended the throne, there are no less than 100 officials who have been raided by him alone.

Such frequent killings and raids did establish prestige in the hearts of the hundred officials, but the negative impact was not small. Since ancient times, the relationship between the emperor and the hundred officials has been checked and balanced by each other, although the emperor has the power of life and death. But the hundred officials are also shouldering the heavy responsibility of restraining the imperial power, and Zhu Gaochi's tough methods have won the power of arbitrariness.

However, under its high-pressure methods, Baiguan gradually lost the ability to restrain himself, and in the face of a murderous emperor, no one dared to stand up and fight easily.

It only took two days for Zhu Gaochi to silence the strong opposition, and Tang Ming's appointment as the king of the opposite sex stopped.

Tang Myung on Jeju Island soon received an official letter that the entire coast of Daming was open to him, which was good news. He immediately ordered someone to publicize this matter in his territory, and for a while, those Ming merchants who were still watching before flocked to Jeju Island, shouting one by one that they wanted to take refuge in Tang Ming.

Within a few days, there were no less than 100 large and small maritime merchant families, including some foreign merchants. They also began to use all their tricks, wanting to find an identity here in Tang Ming so that they could make a deal with Da Ming.

A few days later, 20 hot air balloons and 10 spaceships landed in Tianjinwei, and Zhu Gaochi personally brought an honor guard to pick up Tang Ming and his party.

After a while of shabby with each other at the dock, they set off back to Beiping together, swaggering across the street along the way, and the people speculated about what had happened.

Beiping has not been so lively for a long time, and the emperor's travel has always been a simple matter, but today it is suddenly so high-profile. The people didn't know about those powerful people, but they soon found out that this was the emperor himself who went to welcome the former Weihai Hou.

Such a grand welcome ceremony can be described as the first time, some people know Tang Ming, some people don't know them, and they haven't even heard of them. After all, Tang Ming spent very little time in Beiping, and if he returned to Nanjing this time, it would definitely be a different situation.

The huge team soon came to the outside of the imperial city, and under the personal leadership of Zhu Gaochi, Tang Ming and his party had the honor to visit the palace built by the Ming Dynasty with huge financial and material resources.

Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao looked faintly excited, and the majesty and solemnity of the imperial city were obviously a whole level higher than the ancient capital of Nanjing.

The breadth of the area is by no means comparable to the ancient capital of Nanjing, which is the status of the Ming Dynasty today, and it is no accident that Yongle is prosperous. Although Zhu Di spent countless manpower, material and financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, just judging from the imperial city he built, it was enough to make his name and this imperial city forever.
