Chapter 153: A Thousand Miles Away, Today's Journey

On the second day of the fourth month, at the beginning of Mao (three o'clock in the morning), the prince took his relatives and guards to Fengxiang Palace and knelt to say goodbye to the princess.

If you should have given the order, the princess had already given the order last night, and now there are only speechless tears left. When the prince knelt down and said parting, the princess was already trembling slightly.

Her body was already unstable, and she was supported by the third and fourth county lords before she walked to the prince's side.

She lifted the son of the world, and she couldn't say a word except tears.

Shizi Rao looked calm, after all, he was here, and it was the first time in his life that he left home. Seeing the princess like this, he was also suffering from parting, and tears rolled down.

The three county lords were beside him, wiping away tears. The youngest of the four county lords couldn't help but whimper.

For a while, the Fengxiang Hall was full of crying.

The princess wiped away her tears and said with a forced smile: "The young eagle always has to spread its wings, my son has grown up." I'm about to put away my tears, after going north, my son must take care of himself, don't let his mother worry. ”

The prince choked up and said, "The unfilial son respects the edict. ”

The princess nodded with satisfaction, looked at the Fan family standing next to her, and said, "Fan Yiren, Your Highness will entrust you to take care of it." ”

Fan said solemnly: "Don't worry, the princess, the concubine doesn't dare to slack off." ”

The princess looked at the Dao idiot, Lu Bing and the others behind the prince, but did not say anything. Although several adults from the capital did not come with the prince to say goodbye to the princess, several internal officials were ......

When the group came out of Fengxiang Palace, it was already Mao Zheng (four o'clock in the morning).

Even if the princess has a tough heart, the mother and son are connected, and she is almost uncomfortable. The prince felt sorry for the princess, how could he bear to let her see him go away. The third county lord and the fourth county lord also persuaded hard, and in the end, the two sisters and princesses sent the prince to the gate of the palace.

Although the prince was ordered to enter Beijing to succeed to the throne, he did not ascend the throne after all, and he still used a full set of princely honor guards to travel.

The prince said goodbye to his sisters, and brought Dao idiot, Lu Bing and others to the elephant chariot.

The official road from the gate of the palace to the city gate has long been under martial law. The local civil and military officials of Anlu and the gentry and village elders with heads and faces all gathered outside the palace gate, walked to the city gate with the royal honor guard, and then knelt down to see the prince leave the country.

The patriarch of the Wang family, Mrs. Wang, and the grandson of the family, Wang Zhen, were all in the queue. Seeing that the Taoist idiot was wearing plain clothes and standing behind Shizi, the two of them were a little stunned. The Taoist idiot nodded slightly, and then boarded the car with the prince.

The chariot was an elephant chariot driven by six white horses. It is said to be a car, but it is more like a small house, one foot high and seven feet and nine minutes wide.

In addition to Dao Idiot, Lu Bing and Tiger Head, the prince also brought Huang Jin to serve in the car. Even if there were five people in the car, it was still not crowded, and because it was driven by six horses, it was extremely stable. The tea on the small table in the carriage moved slightly as the carriage moved, but it never overflowed.

Outside was the sound of horses' hooves "stomping", and the prince was still immersed in the sorrow of parting, and everyone had eyes, so they didn't quarrel with him.

The Taoist idiot sat there, looking at his nose and his nose, thinking about the surprise in the eyes of several bigwigs in the capital when he and Lu Bing boarded the car with the prince.

Huang Jin is the most useful internal official around the prince, the tiger head was taken by the prince a few days ago, although he and Lu Bing have also shown their faces in front of the bigwigs in the capital before, but they can accompany the prince to board the car, and they have to re-weigh the weight of the two.

I believe that in less than two days, the identities of myself and Lu Bing will be checked by these bigwigs.

Lu Bing is the milk brother of the prince, and he was born and raised in the palace, and he is the iron of the irons. I, who entered the palace three years ago, fell into the eyes of others, and I am afraid that there is an opportunity.

As a stepchild, when the "Great Etiquette" dispute comes, don't play on the topic when someone takes advantage of it.

He is too young to enter the court, even if someone uses the topic to play, it does not play a big role, but it just makes the prince feel blocked, and the worst result is that the prince is tired of himself. However, if the prince has a deeper friendship with him, he will feel that those people have ill intentions and will be more willing to protect him.

Previously, when the envoys announced the itinerary in front of the prince, the Taoist idiot also heard it. The plan is four posts a day, one hundred and twenty miles, from Anlu to the capital for twenty-three days.

The son of the world had a good impression of him, and he needed to turn it into eight on the 22nd. And take an opportunity to talk about family affairs carefully, and in the future, because of the word "adoptive", the prince will be suspicious.

Thinking of this, the Taoist idiot opened his mouth to break the silence in the car: "Has His Highness ever been out of Anlu?" Can you get out of Anlu today? ”

Shizi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "The farthest place where I went alone is the tomb of King Liang. However, the territory of the vassal country is only a place, and today it should be able to get out of Anlu. ”

The Taoist idiot said with a little uneasiness: "The book says that ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs, and I don't know what the capital is like." ”

Shizi said: "I heard my father mention the capital, the palace is extremely magnificent, although the palace system is imitation of the palace, but in comparison, it is the difference between cloud and mud." The capital also has a large population, with several million people. ”

This was a general statement, and he didn't have much concept when he thought about it himself, so he asked Huang Jindao: "Didn't you come from the capital?" What is the capital really like? ”

Huang Jin smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the slave maid was only eight years old when she left Beijing, and she really doesn't remember much about the capital. I vaguely remember the life in the palace. The red wall and yellow tiles are extremely magnificent, even if it is a wall. When he spoke, his tone was very honorable.

The architecture of the palace is also magnificent, and for a while, the prince and Lu Bing are a little distracted, as if they are imagining how magnificent the palace walls of the Forbidden City are.

The Taoist idiot also pondered on his face, but his heart was not shocked. Five hundred years later, the Forbidden City has become one of the must-see attractions for the Palace Museum, and relatives and friends come to Beijing to accompany them. There are many harem buildings, and some can't remember; He remembered the first few halls clearly.

The regulations of the prince's palace in the Ming Dynasty were all formulated by the Taizu Dynasty, and the prince was already treated extremely favorably. The difference between the royal palace and the royal palace cannot be said to be the difference between cloud and mud.

Unexpectedly, King Xing, who seems to be indifferent to fame and fortune, once talked about the palace in such a tone.

Emperor Chenghua had no sons-in-law, and Emperor Hongzhi was awarded the position of crown prince, but because Chenghua's eldest son died early, Hongzhi became the actual eldest son. King Xing became a vassal king only because of his teeth after Emperor Hongzhi, and it can be said that he was once separated from the throne.

Shizi came to his senses and said with a smile: "No matter how magnificent it is, it is just a wall." No matter how good a house is, it's just a house. ”

As soon as the topic mentioned the capital, everyone talked about it around the capital, which diluted the original sorrow and farewell. It was the first time for everyone to go out of the house, and it was inevitable that they were a little excited.

Before I knew it, at noon, the procession arrived at the post station.

From Anlu City to here, after traveling sixty miles, the elephant chariot of the prince of the world will change horses, and the accompanying soldiers will also rest for a moment or two.

By the time the carriage stopped, the king's tent had been set up for the prince to rest.

Gu Dayong brought two internal officials and asked the prince to get off the car.

Although the team went up the official road and stopped at the post station, where could these tens of thousands of horses enter the post station.

Stop at the post station, but because of the convenience of getting water.

Although the princess entrusted the matter of taking care of the prince to Fan, Fan did not dictate the itinerary and the like, but only took over the diet of the prince. In addition to the meal, it was a mouthful of hot water, which Fan personally watched and boiled before giving it to the prince.

Even if you know, it's just just in case, but just in case, no one dares to be sloppy in the slightest.

The accompanying soldiers used a marching stove. There are high-grade subordinate officials in the capital and the palace, and they use a small stove in the post station. The rest of the palace used the big stove of the post station.

Lu Bing, Dao Idiot and Tiger Head, the meals are all big stoves. Therefore, at lunchtime, the stinger sent the three's regular meal over.

It seems that a small pot of fried cabbage with soup and water, and a large pot of radish soup with two pieces of fat sporadically, Shizi is full of disgust.

Although on the road, there are more than ten dishes for each meal. So, a few Taoist idiots borrowed light, and the prince of the world spoke to stop the three of them eating in the big stove and accompanied him to eat.

The daily lunch break is only an hour, but the world's diet is not coarse. In addition to a few small stir-fries, each meal has two soups, both of which are simmered on a small stove on the road.

When they set off in the afternoon, several bigwigs in the capital got the news that the prince not only took a few teenagers in the same car, but also ate together.

Uncle Zhang Guo, who is not very good at using his brain, is a little contemptuous of the son, thinking that children are children, and they need someone to accompany them.

Several officials were surprised by the weight of the Lu family.

Lu Song was in charge of the palace guards, Fan was in charge of the prince's diet, and even the half-eldest son Lu Bing became the prince's personal entourage. The son treats the nurse's family very much, and the officials around him have no weight. For the Lu family, you must not offend.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu thought that in the court, Wang Shilang was just mediocre, but in Anlu he was the first, and it was rare that he had a good relationship with the palace. The prince took three attendants in the same car, two of whom were from the Anlu Wang clan. I heard that Wang Shilang's nephew is the fiancΓ© of the lord of the three counties, and he is also one of the companions of the son. The rise of the Wang family was unstoppable, and when they returned to Beijing, the two families should also be close to each other.

The scholar Liang Chu was old, and he witnessed the absurdity of Emperor Zhengde for more than ten years, and he was a little worried when he saw several attendants selected by the prince.

Wang Dingshan is a brocade guard and a warrior; Wang Jin has a reputation as a student and is a literati; Although Lu Bing is young, he can be born in a family of Jinyi Wei, and he will also be a martial artist in the future.

The prince has three attendants, two martial arts and one article, does this also show the prince's attitude towards civil and military affairs?

If the prince also likes to dance with knives and guns like Emperor Daxing, then these old ministers will cry to death.

However, since he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, even if he is a little worried in his heart, he does not show it on his face, but he just pays careful attention to the actions of the prince. When he met with the prince in the morning and evening, he also secretly observed the heir and his three attendants.

After two or three days, he finally put his mind at ease.

The three attendants, the sturdy and taciturn, the twelve who are talented in the middle of the show, are not arrogant and impetuous, and they are polite; The remaining milk brother of the son, even if he is younger, can be seen to be an honest child in his words and deeds.

These three people are by the side of the prince, even if the prince treats them closer, there will be no trouble.

Looking at the actions of the prince again, he is very disciplined and very well-behaved, which is completely different from the debauchery and unruliness of the Daxing Emperor when he was a teenager.

The team has arrived at the junction of Hubei and Henan, and it is about to enter Xinyang.

The envoy of Xiangwangfu arrived, and King Xiang brought his son to welcome the heir emperor......
