As soon as the plane entered the range of Yingtianfu, it could see the endless factories and residential areas through the portholes, and the green on the ground was dappled with yellow and blue. Only in the front right, there is a large expanse of green.

Zhou Bei is the first time to see Ying Tianfu from the air, he has been to Ying Tianfu three times, all by boat back, and now seeing the dense houses below, he can understand the prosperity of Zhongzhou.

Zhou Bei couldn't help but ask: "My lord, how can there be such a large area near Ying Tianfu, and nothing has been built?" ”

Huo Yi, who was sitting next to Zhou Bei, swept his eyes outward, and then lowered his head to look at a copy of "The Biography of the Liberation Period" in his hand. "That's Chuzhou Racecourse, the largest racecourse in the central and eastern Ming Dynasty."

Chang Kun said with a smile: "Chuzhou Racecourse is the beginning of the founding of Emperor Taizu, the establishment of the soldier and horse battalion, this hundred years of rapid development, cavalry is gradually replaced by mechanized corps, however, Chuzhou Racecourse is still retained, providing the best quality war horses for Ying Tianfu, now many big families like to raise racing horses, are contracted in the grassland. ”

Zhou Bei nodded, retracted his gaze, and turned to look at the "Biography of the Liberation Period" in Huo Yi's hand.

Xie Zhen was one of the most famous ministers in the Gaozu period, and he could even remove one of them.

He was born in a wealthy family, his father was a three-jinshi, his uncle was the only teacher Xie Jin recognized by Gaozu, his father Xie Lun, and his mother was a descendant of Ouyang Xiu.

During the Yongle period, he entered the officialdom in the name of the champion, but because of Gaozu's gentle judgment, he asked for release as the champion.

From Nanyang Luzon Mansion, Xie Zhen worked as an official outside for 12 years before returning to Zhongzhou, during which he changed from a rich boy to a cadre who really cares about the people.

From champion to prime minister, and then to speaker, his life has been dedicated to Daming.

On the occasion of his death, Emperor Gaozu admitted that he had made unfair comments in his youth and gave him the nickname Wenzheng.

In the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, he is the best official in the past hundred years, with the first virtue and the top three in official ability.

Because of its outstanding calligraphy, each of the calligraphy books left behind today is sky-high.

"My lord also admires Lord Xie?"

Huo Yi was absent-minded, and nodded after a pause: "He is an official role model." ”

What Zhou Bei admires the most is not the Xie Zhen period, because this person is so perfect, human nature is almost invisible in him, and all that is left is divinity.

He admired Yu Qian, a minister of the same period as Xie Zhen, who was also the most capable minister in the opinion of Emperor Gaozu.

Perhaps influenced by the Qiu brothers in another world, and knowing another period of Ming history, Zhou Bei admired Qian very much.

"What about Prime Minister Yu?"

Huo Yi pondered for a moment this time before replying, "They all have their own strengths. Premier Xie is more talented, and Premier Yu is more quintessential in hard work. ”

Zhou Bei nodded, but listened to Huo Yi ask again: "Do you worship Prime Minister Yu?" ”

Zhou Bei smiled and said, "Prime Minister Xie is too perfect, beyond the reach of my generation." Premier Yu is slightly flawed, but it seems that he can still catch up with us. ”

"I hope you don't forget your original intention." Huo Yi smiled, but his smile was a little dull, and he lowered his head to read the book.

Huo Yi is really not a good person to talk to, and he seems to have some obstacles in interpersonal communication.

However, although such a person has obvious shortcomings, it can make people feel trusted.

When the plane flies over the Yangtze River, you can see the seemingly boundless city below, in the middle of the city, there are various buildings, as well as several mountains in Yingtianfu, and a large lake.

The plane flew over the Jiajiang Industrial Zone, which was the earliest industrial base of the Ming Dynasty, and after the deindustrialization of Yingtianfu, a large number of factories moved out, and it has now become a research base.

On the radio, there was already a broadcast of the imminent landing, and several flight attendants also came out to help passengers fasten their seat belts.

As soon as the plane landed, you could see several Jinyi Wei vehicles sprayed dark green driving over and stopping next to the plane. Several generals in honor uniforms got out of the car.

The Han general was the honor guard of the Jinyi Guard, responsible for garrisoning the palace and maintaining order in the court.

In Daming, they have all kinds of privileges.

In particular, the Jinyiwei vehicle with the royal coiled dragon pattern printed on the body is generally not blocked by anyone.

Everyone on the plane looked a little panicked, thinking that something was wrong, and there was some noise in the cabin.

This Kunpeng aircraft is one of the largest aircraft of the Ming Dynasty, which can carry up to 150 passengers at a time and fly more than 5,000 kilometers.

Today, the plane was full of passengers, and Zhou Bei and them sat at the front.

After opening the cabin door, Zhou Bei and the others got off the plane first, while the others needed to wait for a while, and the flight attendants who had been notified comforted the other passengers.

After getting off the gangway, a few brocade guards came up. "My lord, when Your Majesty knew the flight time, he ordered me to wait here early in the morning."

Huo Yi nodded and said, "Brother Zhou's luggage was specially arranged, there were a total of ten boxes, except for four suitcases, the other six rattan boxes were loaded into the car. ”

"Yes."

As soon as he gave the order, the four Han generals boarded the plane. Huo Yi turned his head and said to Zhou's mother and Zhou Dong, who had just gotten off the plane and were trembling: "The two of you will go to the Jinyiwei Hostel with Qi Baihu to settle down, and according to Your Majesty's instructions, I will take Brother Zhou into the palace as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Dong hugged his fists and said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of adults." ”

Zhou Bei also turned around to comfort her mother, although she knew that her son was very valued by the emperor, but it was still difficult for her to accept it to such an extent.

She is just a military family in a remote place, and now although she has the background of Mrs. Wupin, the biggest official she comes into contact with is only the prefect of Sipin in Sanhe Prefecture.

Huo Yi nodded, turned to Zhou Beidao, "Brother Zhou, let's go to the car and wait." ”

Zhou Bei comforted his mother and said, "I am most familiar with those boxes, so I should place them myself." ”

He nodded, and when the four brocade guards and another flight attendant took their luggage, Zhou Bei loaded the boxes that should be brought into the palace into the car.

The convoy of four cars did not pass through the seal office of the General Administration Department, but the identity cards of several people were asked for by Jinyiwei and will be stamped with special seals.

The Ming Dynasty prohibits the free circulation of the people, but it cannot hinder the circulation of commerce, so the management method is more complicated.

For example, factories, procurement, sales, and large amounts of money are all in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only the behemoth of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the qualifications for global business.

Any other factory, the Chamber of Commerce, needs to deal with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, only a small share, with free decision-making power.

They also need to have road guides for their travel, and there are more than six kinds of road guides, each with different effects.

If Zhou Bei comes to Yingtianfu to go to school, the pass is Class D, the long-term business is Class B, and the settlement is Class A.

Intelligence agencies such as Jinyiwei and the Department of Communications and Administration, their passes are different from ordinary people, and they can circulate almost freely.

Zhou Bei got into the car, and his originally relaxed state disappeared and became heavy.

Although he had already figured out enough to meet the emperor in front of him, and he had been thinking about it repeatedly in his heart for a long time, at this moment, he was still nervous when he thought that he was about to meet the most powerful person in the world.

The convoy went straight out of the airport and drove on a wide road. Along the way, there were no cars in the queue, and all the vehicles were eager to get out of the way.

After entering the city, on many of the main streets, there are roads dedicated to the royal family.

The road is marked with a yellow line by paint and is located in the middle of the road and no other vehicles can occupy this lane.

So, even if the streets are congested, their convoys will not be congested.

Of course, because it is not the emperor's travel, you still have to obey the traffic light rules.

In less than an hour, the convoy had already arrived outside the Xihua Gate of the Imperial Palace, where two cars turned south and headed for Jinyiwei, and two more cars entered the Xihua Gate directly.

It was the first time for Zhou Bei to enter the palace, and at this time he felt that his eyes couldn't see it.

Xihua Gate City Tower is rectangular in plane, white jade Sumeru seat, open three coupon gates, and the coupon hole is square and round. The city floor is five rooms wide and three rooms deep.

Yingtianfu already has a modern atmosphere, but this palace still retains the appearance of more than a hundred years ago.

Even on the ground, the roads outside are cement roads and asphalt gravel roads, but the ground here is still a blue brick pavement.

The car entered the Xihua Gate, drove only a short distance along the main road, and did not really enter the palace, so it turned south along the sandwich road.

Huo Yi saw Zhou Bei's curiosity and introduced: "Not far forward is the imperial dining room, and then the West Palace, where only palace maids can enter." We turned south and entered the Wuying Hall from the right gate, where His Majesty met with his ministers. ”

Zhou Bei nodded and said with a smile: "There is an introduction to the Ying Tianfu Palace in the textbooks of the elementary school, although I haven't seen it, the people of the Ming Dynasty know a little about the understanding of this place." ”

Huo Yi smiled. "Yes."

Follow the tree-lined path with flowers on both sides and a well-manicured lawn.

The car was parked in a small parking lot, and there were some men dressed as brocade guards, but more of them were palace maids in various palace clothes.

They were more than twice as large as the Jinyi Guards, and some of them were guards dressed as Yulin Guards, and the three sides formed cross-security.

Zhou Bei and the others got out of the car, and their bodies were checked, and all the luggage they carried was also opened and checked one by one.

Zhou Bei carried six large boxes of drawings and materials, and because there were no books and many people to check, it took less than ten minutes to complete all the inspections.

However, they had arrived late, and it was already time for lunch.

Zhou Bei's stomach was very hungry, but he didn't know anyone except Huo Yi, so he could only endure it.

Even though Huo Yi knows a lot of people, his character is destined to have no friends, and almost no one cares about them.

At twelve forty o'clock, as a middle-aged palace maid nodded, everyone carried boxes and walked neatly to the front door of Wuying Palace.

Zhou Bei followed behind Huo Yi and walked at the front of the team.

At this moment, Zhou Bei's heart couldn't help but have a sense of glory, he was in the center of this huge empire, and this was the palace of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Jinyiwei calmed Huo Yi, and the people of Dongzhou saw Zhou Bei ......"
