For Zhu Si, just riding the train is a pleasant experience.

Probably only the leisurely emperor had the heart to enjoy the scenery along the way, but it was only early spring, and there was basically no green in the wilderness, and because of the presence of trains along the way, ordinary post roads were also busier, and passers-by could be seen everywhere along the railway.

"What's going on there? It's so lively. ”

Zhu Si asked, pointing to a nearby construction site.

Zhang Zuo had always been worried, and when he saw that Zhu Si almost put his face on the window glass, he hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, don't get too close to the window, it's dangerous." ”

Zhu Si didn't pay attention to him at all.

At this time, the commander of Jinyiwei made Wang Zuo stand beside him and explained to Zhu Si: "Back to Your Majesty, it is building a new station, Mr. Zhu has instructed that several more stations should be built along the railway, and trains of different shifts will stop at different stations, so that it is not only convenient for villagers to travel, but also to hoard goods, and can also be used for emergencies." ”

Zhu Si asked: "Isn't it okay for the goods to be in Xishan and Beijing?" ”

Wang Zuo said: "There are a lot of warehouses in Xishan, but if the capital is in urgent need, or cannot be transported to the capital in time, and many places are empty halfway, so as to maximize the use of space along the way, and also prosper the place, with the station as the center to form a market town, to meet the needs of more people to work." ”

Zhu Si exclaimed: "Look at Jingdao, his thinking is different from ordinary people, he has thought of everything, no wonder he is the only one who can build a train." ”

No one around him spoke.

They all know very well that the emperor's trust in Zhu Hao has reached the point of no return, it is estimated that Zhu Hao farts, Zhu Si will also say that the incense is terrible, and he can find a hundred reasons for the incense.

"It's good, I want to sit on the train all the time, this thing is much more comfortable than staying in the palace!"

……

……

It wasn't until Zhu Si arrived in Xishan that he realized what it meant to have a sky outside the sky.

He thought that the capital was already the most prosperous place in the world, but compared to Xishan New Town, the capital was like a primitive tribe, looking at the scattered buildings distributed along the foothills, Zhu Si saw for the first time what an industrial city was, although it was only a small town that could no longer be rudimentary.

"Why is this place so spectacular?"

Zhu Si got off the train and pointed to the tall building in the distance and asked.

At this time, the train station was empty.

Usually, the station is only allowed to be approached by ordinary people during the time period when there is a passenger train passing, and the passenger station and the freight station are separated, which is to facilitate the stacking of goods in the open space around the freight station.

"Your Majesty, those buildings are for workers to live in, and this city has limited land, and it is difficult to fit so many people if it does not develop into the sky. You see, there's a tall chimney there! ”

Zhang Zuo was also very curious, and pointed to the chimney that was billowing smoke in the distance and said, "The old slave remembers the last time I came, but I haven't yet." ”

At this time, Lu Song, who came to greet the holy driver on the platform, hurriedly saluted Zhu Si.

Zhu Si said with a smile: "Lu Qianhu, you don't have to be polite, otherwise it will be easy for people to see through it...... I can't reveal my identity outside! By the way, my trip won't affect the normal operation of this place, right? ”

Even Lu Song couldn't say it clearly, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has arrived, everything has not been affected, and passenger and freight trains can depart at any time!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Si nodded, "I saw that there was a railroad track next to it, and I have been wondering why there is no train coming from the opposite direction, in fact, I still affect the train sent here in Xishan." Jing Dao told me before that the coal from Xishan could be transported directly to the capital, and then transported to Jiangnan through the Grand Canal, but I still didn't believe it, but now I finally believe it.

"Lu Qing's family, you take me everywhere to have a look, I want to have a good experience!"

……

……

Zhu Si arrived in Xishan after noon, and in the following afternoon, he ran almost the entire city.

When the sun set, Zhu Si originally had a process to say that he wanted to go to Zhu San's Taoist temple to have a look, but because he was tired at this time, he only let him go to the palace to rest first...... In fact, there are no palaces built here, but there are good three-story villas with later styles for Zhu Si to live in.

When he arrived at the place, he saw the modern decoration and many novel furniture utensils, and Zhu Si was satisfied.

Zhang Zuo leaned over at this time and said, "Your lord is already waiting outside." ”

Zhu smiled.

This time he came to Xishan, did not bring the queen, nor did he bring concubines, only brought Gongyeling alone, although Gongyeling also had the opportunity to enter the palace, but she has not obtained an official title, originally he wanted to give it, and even set it, but the Empress Dowager Jiang resolutely disagreed, Zhu Si in order not to let himself leave infamy, did not force it for the time being.

Mainly because Gongyeling is not pregnant.

Usually Zhu Si loves Gongyeling very much, and he also made it clear that as long as Gongyeling's stomach moves, he will be named a concubine, but unfortunately Gongyeling's stomach is not angry, if she can conceive, maybe she can really give birth to the prince of Daming.

Zhu Sidao: "Let her come over later, I will do something serious first...... Is there any important note in the DPRK for me to review? ”

The more times like this, the more Zhu Si wanted to pretend to be Mingjun.

Zhang Zuo hesitated: "Your Majesty, I received a secret recital from Mr. Zhu from Tianjin. ”

"Say!"

When Zhu Si looked at Zhang Zuo's appearance, he knew that it was probably impossible for anything good to happen.

Zhang Zuodao: "Mr. Zhu asks Your Majesty to allow him to go to Jiangnan for two months......"

"No way!"

Zhu Si's attitude was extremely resolute, "I promised that he would come back in a month, how could he let him go for another two months?" I don't break my word, and he can't be untrustworthy! ”

Zhang Zuo sighed and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Mr. Zhu wants to pacify the Daming Sea Frontier...... It is said that the southeast sea disaster is very serious now, and the Ming naval army, has been divided into three batches to the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this is a completely pacification of the sea frontier war, it is said that after this battle, the robbers will no longer see the opportunity to insert a needle in the coastal line! ”

"Then you can't let him go in person, immediately send an order, let him come back!"

In his opinion, Zhu Hao is the guarantee of the stability of his throne, from the time he ascended the throne to the present, it seems that Zhu Hao is plotting, Zhu Si naturally feels that without Zhu Hao, he may even lose the throne.

"Yes!"

Zhang Zuo obviously didn't say anything, but at this time, he saw that the emperor's face was not good, so he didn't dare to say more.

"Anything else?"

Zhu Si was already in a bad mood because of Zhu Hao's request to go to Jiangnan, and it seemed that the pleasure of coming to Xishan had disappeared today.

Zhang Zuo said: "There are still some things that the celebrant can handle by himself." ”

"Then you can deal with it, I have to go and rest first."

Zhu Si showed a relieved smile, "Such a good place, I must build a palace in the city when I go back, this side is close to the capital, I will come over and have a look if I have nothing to do...... Hey, this is the city that belongs to me completely. ”

Zhang Zuo and the others were thinking that there was no such strong fortress as a fortress in the capital to protect it.

Naturally, ordinary thieves can't threaten the safety of this place, but if the Tatars suddenly kill, they are afraid that the defenders will not be in danger, and they will suffer at that time.

……

……

Capital.

On Zhang Xuan's mansion, a confidential piece of information was brought by Huo Tao and handed over to Zhang Xuan to see.

"Zhu Jingdao is in the Bohai Sea, and he actually offered to go to the southeast coast to exterminate the bandits? What did he think? After Zhang Xuan read the secret report, he hesitated in his heart.

tried every means to drive Zhu Hao out of the court and make Zhu Hao fall out of favor in front of the emperor, but it seemed that Zhu Hao didn't care at all, and even played some unconventional means, which made Zhang Xuan completely incomprehensible.

Huo Tao said: "I'm afraid that if he makes a false shot, he will return to the capital when he turns around." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

He also didn't believe that Zhu Hao would put down the affairs of the capital and go to Jiangnan, what good would this do him?

Huo Tao said again: "There is also news from the palace, saying that His Majesty has gone to Xishan, and the court will definitely drop out tomorrow morning, but the old minister of the central cabinet of the court does not know yet." ”

Today's Zhang Xuan is no longer Wuxia Ameng, in order to confront Zhu Hao, he is recruiting all the forces that can be recruited, and he has the support of the behind-the-scenes financiers, not only can he obtain intelligence through internal relations, but he can even buy key people through money.

"Is it reliable?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Yes!" Huo Tao said.

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded: "Maybe you can leak this news a little." ”

"This ......"

Huo Tao hesitated.

What the emperor didn't want people to know, you actually revealed to those ministers? When those ministers know what they will do, they must be the emperor who puts the country and society first, and does not indulge in Yile Yunyun...... After all, the experience of Emperor Zhengde in front of him was too terrible, and it was an unbearable memory for Wenchen.

Zhang Xuan has his own plans.

If the emperor runs to Xishan if he is fine, Wenchen's advice may form a certain coercion on the emperor, making the emperor feel at risk, because Zhu Hao is not in the capital at this time, and the emperor will inevitably rely on him.

And can make Zhu Hao, who dominates the affairs of Xishan, a thorn in Wenchen's side.

Didn't the Wenchen led by Fei Hong not want to attack Zhu Hao? Then I'll help you and give you a reason why you have to do something to him, that is, he wants to bring the new emperor into a faint monarch like Emperor Zhengde, and you will see the second Emperor Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty?

Zhang Xuan said: "Remember, don't let people know that I released this news, just inform the imperial historian, as for the old ministers, don't leak anything, they know the best!" lest they find out, and prevent anyone from coming out to admonish. ”

It's very skillful.

Zhang Xuan saw that on the issue of the previous Great Rites, the more cowardly the civil officials and high-level officials became, and in the end, when Zuo Shunmen knelt down, only a squire and a few bachelors from the Hanlin Academy appeared, and the rest of the old scholars were all watched on the wall.

That's it, still counting on them to deal with Zhu Hao?

Huo Tao sighed: "Doing this, I'm afraid it's a bit risky." ”

"If you don't take risks, you can't do it!"

Zhang Xuan said, "At present, Zishi's mission in Yuyao is not going well, I have sent someone to urge him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, Zhu Jingdao is not in the capital, it is a good opportunity for us to make a move." ”

"Hmm."

Huo Tao nodded, but he had doubts about Zhang Xuan's ability in his heart.

After all, Zhang Xuan was full of expectations for Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian's return to the dynasty, hoping that the two would form a clamp on Zhu Hao after returning to the dynasty, but now it seems that instead of working, they will become the enemies of their own faction.

Just like this, you still want to confront Zhu Jingdao, will it be a mantis arm as a car?

"So recently, should I wait for a performance?" Huo Tao asked for instructions before leaving.

"Are you crazy?"

Zhang Xuan asked sharply, "Which side are you from?" ”

Huo Tao also wanted to ask, which side do you want us to be?

is obviously standing in the position of the emperor, but he betrayed the information to let the other side know, so he still claims to be a loyal minister? At least Zhu Jingdao has never betrayed the emperor, right?

Huo Tao said: "If Zhu Shilang catches the opportunity, I am afraid that we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover." ”

"No, it won't!"

Zhang Xuan said, "No one wants to stand on his side now, there is only one Xu Zisheng by his side, so there is nothing to be afraid of!" ”
