The carriage was newly built, and thanks to the suspension system, it was quite comfortable to sit on. The body is about 3.5 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, pulled by 2 horses, and can carry about 1,500 pounds of weight.

After about 10 minutes, the carriage arrived outside Andingmen, where there were already soldiers of the land and water battalion waiting, a total of three groups of 50 people, each in blue cloth, carrying a musket behind him, a goose knife hanging from his waist, and a bag made of cowhide hanging diagonally, which was filled with gunpowder and lead bullets, and there was a strip next to the bag, tied with leggings, lined up in two columns, standing there motionless.

Pedestrians stopped to watch, such a military appearance, the novelty of the military uniform, and whether the flag was not played, made pedestrians guess which army this was. As soon as Zhu Houzhao's carriage arrived, the two jumped out of the carriage, smiled at each other, nodded slightly, and then Zhu Houzhao shouted "Lizheng", "Rest", "Rest in place", 50 people completed the order neatly, and then rested in place.

After about an hour, Zhang Shilang's team was late. In the distance, I saw a huge procession, the leader was holding a gong, while knocking, "Qin is on a trip, idlers avoid", and there are two columns of people behind, holding signs like road signs, "quiet" on the left, "avoid" on the right, and then a band behind them, constantly blowing musical instruments. There are guards in the back, all of them are in the Beijing camp, each with big shoulders and round waists, there is no lower than 180, and it can be a little imposing when it looks like it, but Zhu Houwei knows that these people are like goods, and their combat effectiveness is completely scum. There are about 300 guards, and in the middle is a certain sedan chair, and the one sitting in it is Zhang Shilang. At the end of the procession was the baggage battalion, and the 10 wagons were loaded with grain and grass, and the 20 or so wagons behind were not known to be loaded.

Zhang Shilang's team was about to arrive in front of Zhu Houzhao's brothers' team, and one person in the team shouted "get off the sedan chair", and the whole team stopped advancing. After a while, an old man wearing a three-grade regular clothes, about 50 years old, with few wrinkles on his face, bright eyes, a big nose and a square face, a calm complexion, and quite an official and prestige, walked over. There is grace between walking, the black gauze hat on the head does not tremble, one hand naturally swings the arm, the other hand holds the gold flower belt, and the complement on the chest is a lifelike peacock. walked in front of the two of them and bowed, "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness." The two also returned the salute and said "Lord Zhang".

After the three of them gave the salute, Zhang Shilang just stood and looked at the two calmly, and the Zhu Houzhao brothers didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little cold. Zhu Houwei coughed and gave Zhu Houzhao a color, and Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, you will preside over this trip, and my brothers and sisters will go out of Beijing to increase their knowledge, and I hope that Lord Zhang will take care of them." Zhang Shilang couldn't help frowning when he saw Zhu Houwei's small movements, he was from the Criminal Department and he didn't see the two brothers much, and he wasn't impressed, but after looking at it just now, the prince seemed to listen to his younger brother's words, which was not a good phenomenon for Da Ming. After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, he still bowed his hand calmly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too humble." Zhu Houzhao continued to smile and said, "Master Zhang's team is in front, let's follow behind the team." Zhang Shilang nodded and said, "Then according to the prince's words." Then he arched his hand and turned back to his palanquin.

Both brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and they were very tired of talking hypocritically with people. Zhu Houzhao turned his head and shouted, "Assemble, stand upright." The 50 people immediately straightened up and lined up. Zhang Shilang looked back and frowned.

In ancient times, the emperor and the scholars basically ruled the world together, and after the scholar class was slowly weakened, it became the emperor and the civil officials to rule the world together. So what kind of emperor is the perfect emperor in the eyes of civil officials? The answer is the father of Zhu Houzhao's brother - Hongji. Because he has several characteristics that civil servants like. The most important thing is to be kind to officials, can listen to the advice of civil officials, dare to delegate power, and now the political affairs of the Ming Dynasty are basically handled by the cabinet, and Hongzhi will also check the twists and turns, but they are basically passed in accordance with the cabinet's annotations, and rarely put forward different opinions. And then there's the body.,Hongji's body is not as good as ordinary people.,Although the body has roared a lot more than before over the years.,But there's not much energy left every day.,So that nothing else will come out.。 The feudal dynasty pays the most attention to the word "stability", even if there is this change and reform in history, the experiment proves that the effect is also very good, but this is not what civilian officials need. Their strategy for governing the country is to "govern a big country like cooking a small fresh", and everything must be done slowly and steadily.

When they met for the first time just now, Zhu Houzhao did not give him a very good impression, because he was very different from his father. Of course, the two brothers don't have a very good impression of Zhang Shilang, and anyone who looks at an expressionless and unchanged old face all year round will not be happy. But it's okay to do this now, just follow Zhang Shilang's team and reduce the chance of meeting.

The team began to move again, with Zhang Shilang's team in front and the two brothers' team behind. Zhu Houzhao's team is not large, except for Liu Jin, who came out together this time, that is, 30 guards in the East Palace, and these 30 people are also two columns, guarding both sides of Zhu Houzhao's brothers' carriage. The two brothers sat in the carriage, and Liu Jin sat next to the car. There were also 5 carriages behind the carriage, 2 of which were the things that Empress Zhang had let bring, 2 of which were loaded with grain, grass, and food, and one with other weapons for 50 people, as well as ammunition. The 50 people behind the carriage lined up in four rows, keeping a distance of 5 meters from the carriage. Due to the slow speed of the procession, the 50 people walked in unison, and the sound of neat steps seemed to suppress the footsteps of the hundreds of people in front.

When they got to the car, the two brothers played chess, which originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and was finalized at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. There is a lot of space in the car, and it is very smooth, most of the cup of tea will not be spilled, and there is a small table in the middle of the car, and the two of them sit cross-legged and play chess to pass the time.

Zhu Houzhao put the cannon in the middle and sighed, "It's tiring to talk to these people, I can't be happy when I look at them one by one, my face is expressionless, and I am still official, I think it is facial paralysis." Zhu Houwei jumped up and said, "What's there, you will slowly get used to it in the future, besides, they have official authority, and you still have royal prestige, it's flattened." Zhu Houzhao said depressedly, "Where is this, do I have to be expressionless in front of them in the future, pretending to be majestic?" As he spoke, he lifted the car up, and Zhu Houwei also sent the car to the original position of the horse, "This is all necessary, and the superior must be so happy and angry that people can't guess what you think in your heart." Zhu Houzhao moved another cannon to the side and said, "This is too tiring, why don't you become the prince and I will be the general?" Zhu Houwei didn't raise his head, and immediately returned, "Get out, you are calm, don't think of anything and say anything, I won't be tired if you are tired?" Zhu Houzhao replied, "I see that you usually smile and grin, it's all one expression, it's not difficult for you to change to expressionless and keep it." Zhu Houwei gave him a blank look, "It's difficult, it's too difficult, I usually smile because I'm really happy, and it's better to give me a red face than to make me blush." As soon as Zhu Houzhao heard it, he came to the spirit: "What is a zhang red." ”

Zhu Houwei's eyes widened, staring at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Take a board two inches thick and five feet long and beat the position below the waist, and beat it until the muscles and bones are broken, and the flesh and blood are blurred. When he said the word "drift", his heart soared to the face of the other side. Zhu Houzhao hurriedly wiped it clean, and after wiping it, he asked curiously, "This is the criminal law in the palace, how do you know this?" You saw it when your mother used it? ”

Zhu Houwei smiled mysteriously, "Hehe." Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and continued to play chess. The next game of two stinky chess baskets takes less than 1 hour, and when the next game is 3 games, the team stops to eat at a post station. After eating, I continued on the road, and when I stopped in the evening, I had already left the capital and arrived at the post station near Meiyusuo. After Meiyusuo, it is Shanxi.
