The reason why Zhu Cihong was so surprised was because he really saw his home: a big mansion, the largest mansion in Nanjing, the imperial city!

It's just that although this imperial city is big but a little dilapidated, Lu Wang led the dumbfounded Zhu Cihong to walk slowly towards the imperial city, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't help but sigh, Emperor Zhu Di will toss Ah feel uneasy about living in Nanjing, patted his ass and went to Beijing, but after all, this Nanjing capital was set by his father, and the palace also took more than ten years of hard work just completed a few years, the old man just left not long after you changed the capital, you have to give an explanation, right.

The emperor is the emperor, so a holy decree came down, there was one more strange thing, the Beijing Imperial Palace has Nanjing, except for a few emperors, even the candidates for the positions of civil and military officials are not bad! And it has been for more than 100 years!

Of course, everyone knows that this is just a formality, the officials who came to Nandu to take office are actually some of them who have been sent over to support the elderly, one does not ask about the court, the other does not ask about politics, and occasionally enters the palace to hold a so-called court meeting, in fact, it is a tea party for the elderly, bragging about each other, recalling the year, by the way, scolding those officials in power in Beijing for being incompetent and misleading the country, and then patting their butts and going out, and then leaving a huge palace and a group of eunuchs!

Therefore, it is not so much the imperial palace of Nanjing, but the retirement home of some eunuchs, because no one from the emperor in the north has lived here since the emperor Zhu Di.

"Waste, it's really a waste" Lu Wang walked away, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but nodded, shook his head again, but asked: "God King, how can I not waste it?" Is it difficult to tear it down? This is a symbol of imperial power! ”

"It's a pity that the imperial city is demolished, but you say that it is a symbol of imperial power, but it is so ridiculous, how much does a eunuch's nursing home have to do with imperial power, and it is enough to symbolize the city of Beijing, and this palace was kept because your grandfather Zhu Di felt guilty" Lu Wang smiled!

Zhu Cihong first squinted. Suddenly became curious: "God King, do you know the whereabouts of Emperor Shenzong?" ”

Lu Wang was stunned when he heard this: "Did you say Zhu Yunwen?" Well...... That kid, don't leak the secret, it's not good for you to say too much, let's go to your house for a walk! The imperial palace in Beijing City is not a good place to visit, let's visit here today! ”

"Stop" here is the imperial city side of the stroll, as said before, Beijing City has the same Nanjing City as there is no shortage, the guards and courtyards are complete, Lu Wang's four people just approached the imperial city Hongwu Gate and were stopped by the defenders!

"I'm not interested in anything else. I just want to go in and take a walk" Lu Wang smiled slightly, the defenders frowned, and surrounded him, you are really not afraid of finding fault!

It's just that before they could open their mouths and raise their voices, Zhu Cihong took something from his waist and shook it in front of their eyes: "Open the door" The defenders were stunned for a moment, stared at the seal in Zhu Cihong's hand with wide eyes, and then ......, "What is this!" ”

Damn, a couple of illiterate ones! Lu Wang was speechless: "Call your stewards ......"

"Lao Tzu is ......" As soon as he opened his mouth, he was slapped by the guards beside Lu Wang: "Presumptuous, the god king and the crown prince are here." How dare you speak wildly, and you don't know what is alive or dead......"

It doesn't matter who the crown prince is, but Lu Wang's name is well known to women and children in the two capitals of the north and south. It's just that these defenders didn't expect that the person in front of them was, and after hearing the words, they immediately knelt down: "The God King spares his life......"

"No one wants to kill you, cry a ghost!" Lu Wang raised his eyebrows: "Open the door, the prince wants to enter the palace!" ”

A group of four people slowly walked into the imperial city. From the Hongwu Gate in the south through a long corridor, the office of the five departments, six mansions and one temple on both sides of the corridor, out of the Chang'an Gate and the outer five dragon bridges from the Chengtian Gate into the palace.

The four of them watched as they walked. But no one spoke, but there were hurried figures running around, and it was those defenders and eunuchs who were running to tell each other, ready to welcome the prince!

Desolate! This is Lu Wang's first feeling, decadence, this is a scene as far as the eye can see, gloomy This is the most direct sense, maybe there are too many eunuchs, and the yin qi is very heavy!

"I didn't think it would be dilapidated!" Zhu Cihong walked at the forefront and couldn't help but sigh!

Lu Wang smiled and said nothing, and he could think of the reason with his little finger, this palace is just a decoration, although the monarchs of previous dynasties will allocate funds to repair it, but it has gradually become less important here, after all, the meaning of his existence is just a formality, and in the era of Chongzhen, the army is in chaos, the treasury is dry, and the salaries of soldiers and military cadres have no money to pay, let alone repair the palace here, so it is not surprising that it is so dilapidated!

"You think it's a waste now, right? A huge palace has become like this," Lu Wang looked at Zhu Cihong and smiled faintly!

Zhu Cihong frowned, looking at the eunuch kneeling in front of him not far away, this was in a hurry to greet him, but his mind was not in this at all, but he turned his head and glanced at Lu Wang again: "Then how to deal with this palace according to the will of the God King!" ”

"I said, it's a pity to demolish it, then make the most of it, the Ming Army lacks a military headquarters, and the Nanjing Military Region also lacks an office area, I think it's quite suitable here!" Lu Wang said and waved his hand to stop a eunuch who was just about to come forward to talk, depending on the situation, it was a chief eunuch: "You don't need to follow, we can just walk around by ourselves!" ”

"I'm afraid my father won't agree!" Zhu Cihong frowned deeply, presumably he didn't agree in his heart, after all, this is the imperial city, and you have to take away the ancestral house of the old Zhu family with a word, who is willing!

"I only know after trying it", Lu Wang laughed: "It is said to be the imperial city, but in fact, you have also seen it, it is a eunuch's nest, keep it like this, it is better to sell it to me and let me develop it!" ”

"The god-king means to pay for it?" Zhu Cihong looked at Lu Wang sideways with an expressionless face!

"Of course, I don't like to take advantage, you can help me write an excerpt to your father at night, and talk about it", Lu Wang said and laughed, and took the lead in the front, Zhu Cihong exhaled and followed!

The scale of the Imperial City of Nanjing is far less than the Forbidden City in Beijing, and it is dilapidated, Zhu Cihong's Youxing is not big, but Lu Wang is very different, he has been shining with golden light when he walks in, and those doors, windows, and beams that look dilapidated are all white flowers and flowers in the future!

Late at night, in the main room of the elegant courtyard in the Wei Mansion, Zhu Cihong was writing things seriously at the table, there was a family letter to Chongzhen, and there was an excerpt written for Lu Wang, the content of the family letter Lu Wang didn't read or cared, but the content of the excerpt should be written according to his original words!

On the other side of the desk, there is a round table, on which there is wine and food, Xu Hongji is facing Lu Wang into three people: "God King, are you sure you want to tear down the palace, are you sure that the emperor can approve it?" ”

"How many times have I said it, Grandpa Guo, it's not to demolish the palace, it's to renovate, renovate, what are you all ruined into, can anyone other than a ghost live?" Rwann held a wine glass and corrected word by word!

"Oh, decoration, decoration, but the God King, will the Emperor agree?" Xu Hongji looked like he had drunk a lot, and his face was crimson.

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, at most there are some conditions," Lu Wang said lightly; "I'm just telling you my plan now, after all, you will have to be here for me to preside over this matter in the future, of course, don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to wait for the emperor's holy decree to come down!" Lu Wang said and touched Xu Hongji's wine glass!

Taking a sip of the wine in his mouth, Xu Hongji burped: "The palace has become the military headquarters of the Ming Army, well, it's a little interesting, it's a little difficult, maybe only the god king has this means!" If you were someone else, it would be strange for the emperor not to destroy his nine clans! ”

Hey, Lu Wang sighed: "Your thinking is too conservative, the times are progressing and developing, you must know how to keep pace with the times......"

"God King, what is the ...... of thought" Xu Hongji shook his head in confusion and asked, and Zhu Cihong, who was originally concentrating on writing letters, couldn't help but look sideways at Lu Wang!

"Uh......" Lu Wan slowly raised his glass.
