"His Royal Highness the Prince, Goryeo, like Liaodong, is a barren and bitter cold place, please take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after I go." Chen Sheng continued to advise him, "The minister has some nourishing and cold-resistant ginseng here, and His Royal Highness can also bring them with him at that time, and he can replenish his body when the time comes. ”

"Yes...... It's ......" The prince agreed again and again, as if he was a student who had been lectured by a teacher.

These two people behaved so closely, of course Zhao Song and Ning Zeguang would not bother, but Cai De had to stand up and interrupt, after all, he was the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and the fleet now needed to be anchored as soon as possible, and it was also necessary to prepare for the next transport ship, so he couldn't afford to waste time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not too early, let's go down first." He stiffened his head and interrupted the narrative of the crown prince and the marshal, "The people below have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Yes, yes!" The crown prince came back to his senses and let go of the hand that grabbed the marshal, "Ji Guogong, let's go down first." ”

"Please come with your minister, Your Highness!" Chen Sheng immediately turned around and left with the crown prince.

When the crown prince appeared on the side of the ship and walked down the ladder with Ji Guogong, the civil and military officials, who had been a little tired from the sun, finally regained their spirits.

"The minister sees the prince, His Royal Highness the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!" At the same time, they bowed down and greeted the prince with the etiquette of a new dynasty.

In the pre-Ming era, the prince and the emperor rarely had the opportunity to go out of the capital, and because the emperor's life span was generally very short, the prince ascended the throne early, so the outside officials did not have much experience in facing the prince, after the new dynasty, the emperor had the eldest son early and became the prince, so the prince came of age very early, and the new dynasty did not intend to let the prince live in the deep palace, so it specially issued a decree to stipulate the courtesy of the prince.

According to the emperor's edict, the new dynasty abolished the kneeling ritual between officials, and the crown prince also abolished the kneeling ceremony, so the ministers and the young attendants around them only had to bow to the prince to show respect. The prince didn't like cumbersome etiquette, so he didn't have any aversion to it.

He followed behind Ji Guogong, walked down the ladder step by step, and then waved his hand to the civil and military ministers who had been bowing down in front of him.

"Ministers, please excuse me!"

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a magical power, and as soon as he said this, the people straightened up again, and then waited for him to come.

The prince usually lived in seclusion in his study, and although the attendants around him were respectful to him, he still felt an indescribable joy when he saw a group of civil and military ministers greet him so respectfully, and forbid him with his words.

This ignorant teenager is like this, he has just tasted the sweetness of power.

He didn't know how many people were so obsessed with their power, sinking little by little into the joy of doing whatever they wanted, and finally losing all their good qualities. No one even told him that he was just a kid who didn't understand anything. He could only rely on himself to stay awake from this fog.

"The minister is Li Jingsi, the governor of Liaodong, see His Royal Highness the Prince." When the prince passed in front of him, Li Jingsi came to his side, and then bowed down again.

"Governor Li has served in Liaodong for many years, and he has worked hard." Because he didn't know much about this person, he only learned about this person from the people next to him when he left, so the prince didn't have any feelings for him, and just dealt with it casually.

Li Jingsi also knew her status, so she was not too attentive, and she was satisfied with the courtesy.

After a brief salute with the ministers, the prince boarded a carriage that had been waiting here together with Ji Guogong and Senator Ning, and the carriage immediately started, carrying the prince to the post house in Jinzhou City, and on the road where the carriage passed, both sides were already lined with soldiers, and along the way, there were citizens in Jinzhou City mixed in to watch the excitement, fortunately, the soldiers' bullet pressure did not cause chaos.

Ever since the prince got into the car, he had been watching from the window, and from time to time he waved to the civilians, causing them to cheer from time to time.

The windows were not large, and for safety reasons, there were cavalry accompanying the carriage, so it was difficult for the people to see the true face of the prince, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the people, and the cheers rose higher and higher.

When the prince entered the city, in order to welcome the prince's arrival, a salute was also fired on the city gate, and with the roar of the cannon, the cheers of the people also reached their peak, reaching into the sky.

Compared with other places, Liaodong has the deepest feelings for the new dynasty, and also misses the grace of the Han dynasty the most. Most of the indigenous Han people are grateful to the Han for destroying the Jiannu who had been poisoning the gate for many years, and freed them from the dire situation; Even the immigrants in recent years are grateful to the Han for pacifying Liaodong and giving them a way out.

In the midst of these cheers one after another, the prince felt the enthusiasm of the people, and couldn't help but feel a trace of excitement, and even his face was slightly red.

"Unexpected...... Unexpectedly, the people of Liaodong are so vigorous, presumably because the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have abundant food and clothing...... The imperial court should really thank the Guogong! ”

"Since it is our duty to defend one side of the country, protect the villagers, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, how dare we take credit." Chen Sheng just smiled modestly, "Besides, Your Majesty has already given me so many favors, how can I not repay it well......"

"Uncle accompanied his father to start a family, he was born and died for so many years, and he should be in and out of the general, how can he talk about any reward!" The crown prince unconsciously changed his title again. "The uncles have put so much effort into the Han, and now they are still fighting on the frontier, when I think about it, it makes me feel a little guilty......

"The prince said this, it really makes the ministers panic, we are courtiers, where can we make the royal family feel guilty?" Chen Sheng hurriedly said that he didn't dare to be, "Over the years, out of the town, fatigue and hard work are inevitable, to say that there is no nostalgia for the prosperity and comfort in the customs is also a lie, but when the minister thinks of the hundreds of millions of people in the pass, he eliminated the Jiannu who was inferior to the beasts and beasts, and defended the Jiangshan Sheji of the Han Dynasty, this fatigue and hard work is not a thing." ”

"Uncle......" The prince's heart became more and more moved.

Ji Guogong and several other uncles have made countless feats for the country, and now they have to fight for the country in the bitter land of the frontier, but they are still so high-spirited, and they have no idea of blackmailing the court at all.

It is precisely because of these civil and military generals that this dynasty can start from the end of the world and finally seize the world.

"However, it won't be so hard in the future, now Liaodong is about to build a province, and after the province is established, there will be more than half of the things that will be pressed on me, and it will be much easier in the future, even if you are in charge of the affairs of the garrisons in various places." At this time, Chen Sheng suddenly laughed out loud with relief, "To be honest, the minister has been thinking about his brothers in the capital now, and when the province is completed, tell him to take a long vacation and go back to have a drink with his brother!" ”

"Pingyuan Hou also misses Guogong very much." The crown prince smiled, "When I went out of Beijing this time, he kept asking me to say hello to the prince, and said that he is now an important minister of the country, and he has worked hard for the country, and he has ...... It's already out of breath, and it's worthy of the big brother. ”

"Heh, it's rare that this kid is attentive!" Chen Sheng laughed, "Yes, it's out!" ”

After laughing with Ji Guogong for a while, the prince slowly regained his seriousness, "Actually, when I came over this time, my father also asked me to bring a message to Guogong on the way." ”

"Message?" As soon as he heard this, Ji Guogong became serious again, "Dare to ask Your Majesty what you want to send your ministers?" ”

"In fact, it is to consult the opinion of the Duke of the Republic on the establishment of a province in Liaodong," in order to avoid being heard by people outside, the prince deliberately lowered his voice, "The father said that the reason why Liaodong has today is because of the Duke of the State, and only the Duke of the State can govern the army while managing the government, and Liaodong has become a peaceful place. Therefore, now that there is a national government anyway, there is no need for others to intervene in the affairs of hindering and building a province...... Although the cabinet is very enthusiastic, after all, this is a major national event, and it is better not to ignore it at all, so it is better to ask the opinion of the national minister. If the prince feels that the establishment of the province is too early and too urgent, the father will let the court slow down, and the prince feels that it needs to be delayed for a few years, then postpone it for a few years......"

"The emperor's ......" After hearing the words relayed by the prince, Chen Sheng was quite shocked.

When Liaodong was established as a province, the cabinet said on the surface that it was to make Liaodong's civil administration more smooth, but the meaning of weakening the power of the border military towns behind the scenes was also understood by everyone.

Chen Sheng is not angry about this, he has a large army in Liaodong, and he has been in charge of the military and politics for many years, to put it mildly, it is the emperor of one of the princes, and in any dynasty it will cause dislike, and it is also a loss that the emperor and the prime minister are people who miss the old love, so they move so slowly, giving him enough face. So he was also very cooperative and didn't intend to resist at all.

He didn't expect that the emperor would let him get too little, so he simply let him decide the matter of building a province. The words relayed by the crown prince, to put it bluntly, are for the sake of his great merit, let him decide for himself, and if he wants to be the emperor of the soil for a few more years, he will be a few more years.

However, the royal family has such a great favor, but Chen Sheng no longer wants it.

He has pacified Liaodong for the people of the world and for the royal family, and has made such a meritorious achievement, and his fame has been satisfied, and he is already a little tired after staying in the bitter cold land for so many years.

Thank the emperor for his grace, but the minister feels that the establishment of a province in Liaodong is beneficial to the country and the people, and it is even urgent! He said his opinion categorically, "Please arrange the imperial court in Liaodong as soon as possible, and the ministers must restrain their subordinates and fully cooperate with local government affairs!" ”
