After leaving the palace, Zhu Gaochi returned to his house with a sad face.

Although the old man didn't say anything today, he Zhu Gaochi really knew his father too well, since he said it and threw the fold to them, then this matter must be done.

Today, it seems that they are angry with their brothers, as if it is for the second child's previous affairs in Fengyang Mansion, but in essence, it is for the things in the north.

The old man wants to send troops.

specially engaged in such a play, just to see what their brothers meant, and take advantage of this time to teach the second child.

For a while, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel worried about the people in the world.

The court had no money, and in the end, the cost of sending troops would only fall on the heads of the common people.

Although his own kid has come up with some new policies that divide the land into the mu, he can get some benefits for the people in the world, and it can also increase the tax revenue of the imperial court a lot, and the finances are also much looser.

But this matter has just reached the time when the Dutian Order has been implemented, and even Nanzhili has not yet been thoroughly implemented.

What's more, it is waiting for the imperial court to really collect taxes one day.

In between, there are still a few things to do.

At the very least, wait for the completion of the implementation of the field order in Nanzhili, and then implement the new policy of apportionment into mu in Nanzhili, if there is any mistake in the middle, then rectify, and then how, until the new tax of the entire Nanzhili is finalized.

and then to the entire Ming Dynasty.

It will take two or three years to put this whole set down, to say the least.

This is still the best situation, otherwise when it is implemented nationwide, there may be some problems in some places, and then the imperial court will appoint ministers to solve them.

This time and again, who dares to guarantee how long it will be able to be thoroughly implemented.

And since the old man has put this matter on the surface, it means that he has already started planning in secret.

If it is really according to the old man's thoughts, the troops will be sent this year or early next year.

The time is too short, and the tax revenue of the New Deal cannot be raised, what should I do?

It's not on the heads of the common people.

If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, he Zhu Gaochi has been in charge of the country for decades, and when the old man goes on an expedition, he is not busy.

These days, I'm afraid I can't be clean.

Just as Zhu Gaochi was pulling his head and thinking about things, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife.

Seeing her sitting under the gazebo playing with the cat, he didn't have the extra heart to say anything to her, so he walked straight over.

But as soon as he was about to enter the door, he heard his wife behind him say: "If you expose people again, you won't even have golden beans in the future." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned: "Huh? What do you mean? ”

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Is it that kid Junki?" ”

The crown princess said: "I haven't seen that kid until now, but what you said in front of the old man, before you came back, it was spread all over the palace." ”

As he spoke, he followed the example of the palace ladies and said: "This prince is shouting everywhere, saying that the second child, there is money, and when he sees someone, he will give him golden beans, expose people's shortcomings, and slap people's faces." ”

Seeing that he was talking about this, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "If you want to say that, it's really not wrong." ”

But the crown princess said: "What else do you have to say.... This prince is in charge of the court's money, and the old man wants not to give a penny, so he keeps his cubs at home. Angry old man, he can't eat. ”

Although Zhu Gaochi is not in charge of the country now, some things are like this, not whoever sits above can manage everything.

Now although the prince Zhu Gaochi is resting at home, everyone knows that the officials of the six departments of the imperial court all listen to the words of the prince.

After all, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, basically all the appointments have to be passed through the hands of his crown prince, who else can this person listen to.

It can be seen from this time that Zhu Zhanji went to the local government to implement the new policy, so he went to two places, one is a friend of the prince, and the other is a disciple of the prince.

These are all people who are on the ruling side, and they really hold real power.

This is not only known inside and outside the court, but also by the old man himself.

Otherwise, if he really wants to fight, he will just fight, and he will deliberately test his tone and attitude.

But Zhu Gaochi was unhappy, and immediately said: "The money in the treasury is mine?" Why can't the old man eat angrily, the treasury is so little silver, and he eats it all for himself, and the Manchu civil and military forces in this court are all hungry? ”

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji, who had secretly walked away from the palace, also returned.

Seeing his son, Zhu Gaochi suddenly shouted: "Stinky boy, come here." ”

As Zhu Zhanji came over, Zhu Gaochi suddenly looked at him and asked, "Stinky boy, in that palace today, can you hear the words that the old man said?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned: "What kind of taste?" ”

Listening to the words of the two fathers and sons, the old lady on the side spoke: "Old man, it's going to be a war." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately pointed at Zhu Zhanji and his mother, and said, "Look, your mother can see it." ”

But Zhu Zhanji ignored these at all, and said: "The old man wants to fight, let him fight, how many years have he been beating." ”

Seeing her son say this, the crown princess suddenly smiled and said, "Look, my son understands." ”

"The old man wants to fight, you just let him fight, how many times, which time did you stop it, now it's good, you block the old man's way all day long, one day you get in a hurry, not only take away your position as a prisoner, but also give the name of your prince to the second child."

Daddy Zhu Gaochi looked at the two of them, and suddenly said angrily: "Do I have to be this prince?" I wanted to quit it, but I couldn't, the old man wouldn't let me. But now that I'm this prince, there are some things you can't leave alone, I don't want to care, let them mess around, can you do it? ”

The old lady also had something to say: "Yes, yes, you don't care, when the second child becomes the emperor, I still have a cat, I think our family is not as good as this cat, have you ever seen a prince who can live well after being deposed?" ”

"I didn't enjoy the happiness with you, and then I killed my son."

As he spoke, the more he talked, the more angry he became, he threw the cat in his arms, and said to his father Zhu Gaochi: "The surname is Zhu, if you don't think about it well, in the next life, you will become a mouse and I will become a cat, and I will bite you to death every day!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Father Zhu Gaochi looked at his wife, and immediately pointed at her and said to Zhu Zhanji beside him: "Look at your mother, you will turn your face when you say it, it's really ....."

When he looked at his son Zhu Zhanji next to him again, he was about to say something, but he heard Zhu Zhanji say with a smile: "I have also become a cat." ”

After saying that, he walked away.

was tossed by the mother and son like this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly choked with anger.

"The position of the prince is really not for people. No, no, I'm just dead......"

Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

"Minister, Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si Commander Qi Cheng, ask Sheng Gong'an!"

Looking at the Qi Cheng in front of him, Zhu Di put down the book in his hand and said casually: "Zhen'an, get up, I have a few words for you." ”

"Yes!"

After getting up, Qi Cheng stood aside, waiting for Zhu Di's question.

In the face of this Qi Cheng, Zhu Di didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Has the eldest grandson been discussing anything with you privately recently?" ”

Qi Cheng, who heard this, was shocked.

I thought that the emperor was looking for him to arrange some errand, or to ask about what happened to Jinyiwei recently, but I didn't know that it was for his private meeting with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and what was even more surprising was how the emperor knew about this.

Thinking of this, Qi Cheng didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly replied honestly: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen does have a discussion with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson in private. ”

Although the eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji is now his immediate boss, the current emperor is still the one in front of him, and Qi Cheng still knows who he is doing things for.

And after hearing this Qi Cheng honestly answer his tentative question, Zhu Di's heart also counted, so he asked again: "What are you looking for?" ”

Qi Cheng said: "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is looking for ministers in order to investigate the situation in the palace of the commander of the Jinyi guard, according to the words of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, it is said that Lord Ji Gang Ji has rumors that there are a lot of treasures obtained from corruption hidden in his mansion, and there are eunuchs and palace maids in the mansion, and even the show girl has intercepted a lot, so let Weichen secretly investigate." ”

Hearing Qi Cheng's words, Zhu Di's face suddenly became gloomy.

For the corruption, he knows, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, this secret does not collect some money is really a ghost.

But this matter of intercepting the show girl and raising the eunuch was something that he Zhu Di never expected.

This Ji Gang, how dare he be?

"So what's going on? What did you find? ”

Qi Cheng hurriedly replied: "I found some signs, and Lord Ji's mansion is unusual. However, it is not clear what the specific situation is, and further investigation is needed. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded with a calm face: "Continue to investigate this matter, and report to me as soon as there is a situation." ”

"Yes!"

"Also, how did the eldest grandson know about this? Why did you go to Jinyiwei as soon as you returned to Beijing and meet you privately?"

In this regard, Qi Cheng was also very puzzled, because he had also thought about this question.

His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was not in the capital before, but he informed him to investigate Na Ji Gang, and he didn't know where this rumor came from.

But no matter what, he still had to reply truthfully: "Back to the emperor, how does His Royal Highness the eldest grandson know, and this Weichen doesn't know." As for His Royal Highness, he went to Jinyiwei when he returned to Beijing, in order to let His Highness investigate the corruption of officials in the capital and the entire Yingtianfu before, and the private meeting was also for the sake of Master Ji, and the rest, Weichen was not too clear. ”

Seeing Qi Cheng say this, Zhu Di didn't feel that he was lying.

He can still see this.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Di still said: "Don't tell others about the matter of summoning you over for questioning today, if the eldest grandson wants you to do anything in Jinyiwei in the future, you have to report it as soon as possible, you know?" ”

"Yes!"

Just when Qi Cheng turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something in his mind, and he didn't know if it had anything to do with it, but he still turned to Zhu Di and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, Wechen noticed something before, which was a little strange, but Wechen didn't know if this matter had anything to do with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson......

"Say!"

"Yes!"

"Does the emperor remember that the imperial court Dongchang had arrested a group of people involved in the leakage of national policies?"

Listening to Qi Cheng's words, Zhu Di nodded: "Go on." ”

According to Weichen's understanding, the group of people arrested this time had extremely frequent contact with Master Ji in the past, and most of them had some relationship. This time, when those people were sent by Dongchang to be interrogated by Jinyiwei, the information that was more or less revealed from these people was also mostly related to Master Ji, including the leakage of the national policy. ”

So Weichen was a little puzzled, since these people were all related to Master Ji, and they were arrested for leaking the national policy, why did Master Ji have nothing to do. If Lord Ji really has nothing to do with this matter, but is just implicated, then why did His Royal Highness the eldest grandson have to arrest Dongchang last time, instead of Jinyiwei, where his duty is located, is it possible that he is deliberately avoiding something? ”

"And after the people from Dongchang sent the prisoner over, Master Ji seemed to be deliberately avoiding these things, and all of them were handed over to Weichen for interrogation, and he never asked a word from beginning to end."

"But after all these prisoners were disposed of, they seized the property of the house, but they were designated by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to be disposed of by Lord Ji......"

"Wechen is ignorant, I can't figure out the truth, and I don't dare to speculate too much about the thoughts of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, Wechen just told the emperor what he knows, and hopes that the emperor will know it."

Listening to Qi Cheng's words, Zhu Di nodded and said, "I know, you go down." ”

"Yes!"

After Na Qi Cheng left, Zhu Di stood in the inner hall and walked back and forth.

"Go, call Huang Yan!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Quan hurriedly ran out.

A moment later.

Huang Yan hurried over accompanied by Zhao Quan.

As soon as he knelt down and didn't say anything, Zhu Di immediately asked: "The last time that kid asked you to help him arrest someone, can it be related to Ji Gang?" ”

Hearing that Zhu Di actually knew about it, Huang Yan hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the main culprit in the last national policy leak was Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard." ”

Looking at Huang Yan's appearance of pretending to be a lake, Zhu Di suddenly asked: "Why don't you say such an important thing?!" ”

"The commander of the Jinyi Guard, who turned out to be the main culprit in leaking the national policy, you people are really a good errand!"

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Huang Yan hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, didn't you say at that time that all the ministers would understand His Royal Highness the eldest grandson's orders? ”

"The minister also thought that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson had already told the emperor about these things, and the reason why he kept the discipline was just a plan."

Listening to Huang Yan's explanation, Zhu Di really couldn't say anything.

Indeed, I did say such things myself.

After that, I thought the matter was clear, and I didn't ask any more.

Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect that the commander of the Jinyi Guard appointed by himself would be the first one to betray him Zhu Di and leak the national policy to the gentry from all over the country!

If it weren't for the fact that the kid in his own family was quite shrewd and arranged everything early in the morning, then the implementation of the new deal would only be ......

Thinking of this, Zhu Di, who was about to directly order the disposal of Ji Gang, suddenly realized something.

The little bastard from his own house came to him to ask for the command of the East Factory, only saying that there was something important to do, and according to the time, the leakage of the national policy at that time should have just happened, and it hadn't even happened yet.

How did the kid know this?

Unexpectedly, the people from the East Factory arranged in advance, and captured the detailed evidence of their leakage of information.

Almost as soon as the information arrived everywhere, they were already arresting people.

Even if that kid got some of this news by accident somewhere, it couldn't have been so fast.

It is even more impossible to deduce from the news he got by chance in such a short period of time that the mastermind behind this is Ji Gang of the Jinyi Guard.

Also laid out in advance to catch people.

No matter how you look at all this, it seems that the kid knew in advance that all this would happen, so he secretly avoided Jinyiwei, and got the command of the East Factory from him, and then secretly arranged it, and at the same time as they leaked the national policy, they were seized on the spot.

This...... It turned out to be his own kid, a bureau specially set up for Ji Gang!

While Zhu Di's face changed in shock, he was also constantly thinking in his mind.

But..... That Ji Gang is the commander of Jinyiwei, and he is his own subordinate after he Zhu Di handed over Jinyiwei to that kid to be in charge.

The reason why it is difficult to deal with that Ji Gang is because the Ji Gang of the Jinyi Guard does not listen to him?

So to deal with it specifically?

But that's not right......

It doesn't make sense logically.

When that kid heard that he was going to hand over the Jinyi Guard to him in charge, but a thousand were unwilling, could it be that he did it on purpose, but in fact, he was already smiling in his heart?

That's not right!

After handing over the power of the prison to him, he didn't bother to go for a day.

I also made up a Sunday, in order to make an excuse for myself to be lazy....

And the same is true of the Jinyi Guard, if it weren't for these recent events, he would probably not have been to the Jinyi Guard once.

Since he didn't even want to go to Jinyiwei and the cabinet, why did he have to go to the other party's place?

Even if he has a personal grudge against Ji Gang..... Not to mention whether Na Ji Gang would be stupid to this extent.

Even so, he had 10,000 reasons to deal with that Ji Gang, why did he have to do it?

Moreover, he still knows so much about Na Jigang, it seems that he has long known that the other party is going to leak the national policy, so he made a layout in advance.

Is it to get empirical evidence?

Then why did he deliberately not deal with that Ji Gang and conceal the responsibility for the crimes he committed?

Wrong wrong......

Zhu Di frowned, walking in this inner hall, pacing back and forth.

He felt as if he had fallen into some misunderstanding, these details were not correct, they were not reasonable, and the logic was very different.

If you want to know what this kid is going to do, you must first figure out his intentions and why.

What was that kid doing?

Under Zhu Di's careful recollection, some of the previous things gradually surfaced in his mind.

At the beginning, that kid was in this Qianqing Palace, and in order to avoid him, Zhu Di taught him to handle government affairs every day, so he told him about the new policies such as the stalling into the mu.

And after that?

Under his Zhu Di's strategy, he forced the prince and the court's ministers to find trouble with that kid.

Forcing him to say all the answers.

As a result, the kid said it all.

After that, it was logical to summarize everything, and the imperial court was ready to implement a new policy.

However, this matter was handed over to the boy to do.

It was up to him to preside over the implementation of the New Deal.

If the identities are reversed, the first thing that comes to mind is how the new policy should be implemented.

They have agreed on the pilot and site selection, which means that the actual implementation method has not yet been determined.

Suddenly, Zhu Di combined all the situations that happened after him to think about it.

An astonishing answer came to his mind.

What happened to the leakage of the national focus..... It's the kid who is in charge!

He seems to have known Ji Gang's temperament for a long time, so he leaked the matter of national policy to Ji Gang in advance, causing that Ji Gang's kind of investigation to spread it everywhere.

These.

。

It was all that kid's plan!

And what is he plotting?

It's the New Deal!

And listing all kinds of means, Zhu Di was surprised to find that there was an implied way of the art of war!

Judging from the scene at that time, the imperial court was on one side, and the official gentry class in various places was on the other, and this was a battle!

In terms of the art of war, those who are good at fighting have no outstanding merits, those who are good at doctors have no brilliant names, and those who are good at playing games have no great skills.

So, instead of taking the initiative, it is better to wait for the other party to make a move.

In this way, as the art of war says: those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they are invincible when the enemy is victorious.

You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy.

Therefore, those who are good at fighting can be invincible, and those who cannot make the enemy invincible!

In this contest, the Ji Gang is the fuse of everything, and when the kid deliberately leaks the national policy, the Ji Gang represents the side of the official gentry class and takes the initiative to obtain detailed information about the national policy.

This means that the other party has already done it.

And from the process of its shot, it aimed at its weakness and killed it with one blow!

Lure the enemy deep, do not move like a mountain, touch the melon along the vine, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and finally kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey!

With such a set of moves, there will be no resistance to the implementation of the New Deal in the court.

Even in the entire Nanzhili, a large number of people dare not do anything wrong because of the involvement of the Ji Gang.

Because as soon as you do it, he will be able to dispose of you with the evidence he has before!

Zhu Di never thought that so many things would happen secretly without his knowledge.

It's all happening right under your nose.

And that kid pretended not to know anything the whole time, and didn't reveal any news.

Even when he was arguing in that court, he Zhu Di didn't notice this, he just thought that Huang Yan was cautious and prepared his back hand in advance.

The evidence of those men's guilt was confirmed.

But he didn't understand that in the secret of this court debate, there was actually a secret competition.

After figuring out this, Zhu Di suddenly burst out laughing.

This laughter filled the entire Qianqing Palace.

Huang Yan, who was kneeling on the ground and waiting, and Zhao Quan'er, who was standing in the corner waiting, were stunned and didn't understand what was going on.

Especially that Huang Yan, at this time, his head was still thinking about how to answer what the emperor might ask next.

But no, what I was waiting for was the emperor's sudden laughter.

I couldn't help but be stupid in place.

And Zhu Di, while laughing, also happily recalled the whole set of combination punches played by his eldest grandson.

sighed that his eldest grandson has really grown up.

These methods were used to make him, a grandfather, not understand at the time.

But laughing and laughing, the laughter suddenly stopped dumb.

Because Zhu Di suddenly remembered one thing again.

The actions of the little bastard before have been figured out, but now?

Zhu Di frowned and walked back and forth in the hall again.

This scene made Huang Yan and Zhao Quan on the side completely dumbfounded.

Today, the emperor... What's going on?

For a while, he kept his face calm, and he wanted to kill someone.

After a while, he laughed heartily, and the one who laughed was called happy.

But I haven't been smiling for long, why did this face suddenly sink again???

The emperor's mood is uncertain, and they can't let go of their hearts when they do errands.....

However, it is obvious that Zhu Di at this moment will not pay attention to their current mood.

My mind is full of thinking about my eldest grandson's actions, why did these things come out again when the implementation of the new policy came to an end for a while.

Why did you keep that Ji Gang and never kill it?

According to his previous actions in the local area, this Ji Gang is afraid that ten heads have been cut off by him.

How did it stay until now.

And since you keep it, it must be useful.

Like Ji Gang, who has already done something contrary to the imperial court, if it is placed in his hands Zhu Di, it is impossible to keep him. At least not because of any of his talents.

If he really stayed, he must have planned something.

Thinking of the past, that kid deliberately revealed in front of Ji Gang that the imperial court was discussing national policies.

In addition, what he learned from Qi Cheng's mouth that there was a matter about the disposal of the family's property, and the kid was specially handed over to the Discipline Gang Office.

Zhu Di vaguely felt that this kid must not be holding back any good fart.

I didn't insist on handing over anything else to Ji Gang, but I only handed it over to Ji Gang when I disposed of the property.

And what unspeakable things can they do with that property?

Corruption!

This is the only answer that Zhu Di can think of.

It is also the most reasonable answer.

On the surface, he asked Jinyiwei to investigate the list and criminal evidence of all corrupt officials in the capital and Yingtianfu, and secretly asked Qi Cheng, the commander of Jinyiwei's northern town Fusi, to investigate the criminal evidence of Ji Gang......

This kid is kind of interesting.

。

For a time, Zhu Zhanji's kid's actions stimulated Zhu Di's desire to win.

He desperately wanted to find out the ultimate purpose of Zhu Zhanji's kid from the many clues in front of him.

It's as if a victorious general suddenly meets an interesting opponent.

At the same time, I want to fight with it.

And judging from the current situation, if he Zhu Di came to do these things, he could hand over the corruption to Ji Gang to deal with, and the only possibility was that Ji Gang had already gained his complete trust.

I am not afraid that I have this kind of handle and be held by the other party.

In addition, as a superior person, he deliberately puts the handle he doesn't care about into the hands of the other party, in order to see what this person will do.

However, this is also the point that makes Zhu Di most confused.

After knowing what kind of person Ji Gang is, and knowing that the other party has made a move to betray the court, it also means that such a person is not trustworthy at all.

Because, such a betrayal of things, only exists will not be done and countless times.

Since you understand that the other party will definitely turn your back on you, if it is yourself, why do you have to let the other party do it?

The only possibility is to deliberately ask the other party to betray again!

Of course, in addition to this possibility, it is also possible that the kid really got some life from Ji Gang, so he will not be afraid of the other party's betrayal.

But if so, then why did the boy embezzle all that money?

Is that kid short of money?

Although the boss cries poverty every day, it is not to the point where corruption is needed, right?

That kid wants so much silver, and even at the cost of damaging his reputation, he bears the name of corruption......

Thinking of the previous incident of the kid pit his second uncle and third uncle's silver, Zhu Di suddenly said to Huang Yan who was kneeling on the ground: "Go, do you know where the three boys of the old family are?" ”

Hearing Zhu Di's question, Huang Yan really knew about it.

Because he was also very curious when the silver was transported away, he ordered someone to pay attention to it, but he only knew that the silver was probably pulled into a mountain villa on the outskirts of Beijing.

It was purchased and built by the three emperors and grandsons themselves.

Thinking of this, Huang Yan immediately said: "It should be around the capital." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di immediately said: "Go, find that kid for me!" ”

"Yes!"

As Huang Yan left, Zhu Di was still standing in the hall and thinking.

Now as long as you bring that kid over and ask him, and find out why that kid has so much silver, this matter is basically clear.

Or maybe it's really for the silver.

Either that or deliberately put the handle in the hands of that Ji Gang.

And in the whole world, even if he Ji Gang has this handle, but he is the only one who can use this handle to threaten his own kid!

If it is to do so, Ji Gang will put the handle in his own hands.....

And for what?

But no matter how Zhu Di thinks, he never understands this truth.

An imperial grandson, or a rather favored imperial grandson, the future successor, why should he deliberately hand over his handle to someone else, or a person who will definitely betray himself.

Could it be that losing his trust as a grandfather is the result he wants?

Or does he want to stigmatize himself?

It doesn't make sense.

As a grandfather, don't you trust him enough?

Those who have been stained since ancient times, that is, those who have held real power, but are not trusted by the emperor and are afraid of his rebellion.

However, he, Zhu Di, had never thought about it like this.

even made it clear in front of him that he was the successor in the future, although he did not say that he would replace his father, but it was not, right?

Zhu Di couldn't figure out this truth.

Now the only way is to find Zhu Zhanyong's kid and get some information from his mouth.

Maybe that kid is really in it for the silver, maybe it's not certain?

Thinking of this, Zhu Di could only temporarily stop thinking about this matter and wait for the arrival of Zhu Zhanyong's kid.

Of course, there is also the matter of his plan to go to the north to fight, although he is eager to find out what kind of medicine is sold in Zhu Zhanji's kid's gourd, but the matter of going to the north to fight in the war cannot be ignored.

There's a lot more that needs to be done.

At the very least, before leaving, you must prepare things at home.

Even his own aftermath.....

is getting older, and his body is getting worse day by day, which he Zhu Di knows better than anyone else.

I don't know how long I can live, but as an emperor, I can't live like this.

Before the army is marched, the road must be paved for the affairs of the kings of the future.

At the very least, the name of this grandson must be hung up first, so that it will be much smoother.

Just when Zhu Di was pondering these messy things, Huang Yan, who had left the Qianqing Palace, had already come outside the palace at this time.

Looking at the three or four people brought behind him, Huang Yan was a little hesitant.

What the emperor said in the Qianqing Palace today mentioned His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and now he is going to find the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanyong, obviously for the sake of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.

Do you want to secretly reveal a little bit of information?

But after thinking about it carefully, Huang Yan still dispelled this idea.

If you do this, you can naturally gain more trust from His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and it will indeed achieve the effect of showing goodwill.

However, for this reason, it is possible to anger the emperor, and even be robbed of his official position and sent to prison, the price is still too great.

It's not worth it either.

Even if His Royal Highness the eldest grandson ascends the throne in the future, he can still only be a factory official of the East Factory.

But now I am......

So it's not a good deal.

Thinking of this, he can only do it, as for how much this matter will have to do with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, he Huang Yan doesn't know, and he can't understand it.

Since I don't understand, I just don't care.

"Let's go!"

With Huang Yan's order, he walked towards the outskirts of Beijing with the three or four people from Dongchang behind him.

Among these three or four people, one of them was the one who came to this suburb of Beijing with Zhu Zhanyong.

In half an hour, Huang Yan and his party also came to the outside of the villa they had tracked before.

Looking at the villa in front of him, Huang Yan also dispelled the idea of ordering someone to sneak in to investigate first.

Because this wall is fifteen or sixteen feet. (1 ft about 0.331 m)

The walls are so smooth that it's impossible to climb into.

Immediately, Huang Yan waved his hand, and the person from Dongchang behind him walked towards the door.

There was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

Soon, a man opened the courtyard door, and seeing that Huang Yan and the others outside did not know each other, he suddenly showed a vigilant look and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Hearing this person's question, the person from Dongchang immediately asked, "Can His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun be here?" ”

Seeing that these people were looking for His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun, the vigilant look on this person's face suddenly disappeared for the most part.

After all, there are not many people who can know that the Three Emperors and Grandsons are here.

Thinking of this, the man said: "The Third Highness is not here, he said that he went to the mining area in the west, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back in the evening." ”

Hearing this, after looking at Huang Yan's face, the people from Dongchang asked the people in the courtyard, "Do you know how to go to the mining area?" ”

The man in the courtyard walked out quickly, pointed to a road to the west of the villa, and said, "Just this road, all the way to the west, it will take about half an hour to arrive." ”

"Okay, thank you."

With this East Factory spies retreated back.

The group turned over and rode in the direction the man was pointing.

Along this dirt road, Huang Yan and the others hurried up, after all, the man said before that it would take almost half an hour to get there.

Obviously, this is not close.

But after they had traveled for about a quarter of an hour, they suddenly found that the road under their feet had changed.

From the dirt road that was originally covered with dust, suddenly it was a hard road.

Looking at the gray avenue that seemed to connect to the sky in the distance, Huang Yan was surprised and pulled the reins with the others around him.

When the horse stopped, Huang Yan immediately turned over and dismounted, squatted on the road, touched it with his hand, and tapped it twice, and found that the road surface was unusually hard, like a natural formation of stones.

He even took out the sidecar on his waist and cracked twice on the road, but found that it didn't have much effect at all, only a shallow knife mark.

Although he didn't understand what these things were made of and who built them, Huang Yan still got up and continued to ride his horse and rush away.

It's just that in this Huang Yan's heart, there is a faint intuition that something seems to be waiting for him in front of him.

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed.

This time, they had crossed a mountain and came to a place that was very remote for the capital and even the entire Ying Tianfu.

In his mind, this area has almost always been a wild place, and almost no one will come here.

But when they crossed the hillside and marched forward again, the scene in front of them completely stunned the yellow Yan.

"What!"

The reins in Huang Yan's hand were pulled instantly.

Standing on the hillside and looking down, although the distance is still very far, because of the relatively high position, you can see far away at a glance.

In that distance, the wild and uninhabited land in his memory has become a large square at this time!

It's as if some god was painting here, neatly and neatly......

Although many places are still covered with barren grass, it is precisely because of this that it is even more shocking.

Especially when he saw the lake that seemed to appear out of thin air on the hillside in the distance, Huang Yan couldn't help but wave his horsewhip again and rushed there.

"Deceived Kangxi"

Seven or eight minutes later.

The group came to the location of the lake.

And after coming closer, Huang Yan was even more dumbfounded.

The size of this lake is far beyond his imagination!

It is only a rough estimate, and there is a distance of five or six thousand zhang from here to the opposite shore!

In addition, if you look closely around this lake, it should have been a huge basin!

Now......

How did it come to this?

In his memory, he never remembered the existence of such a large lake in this area.

Immediately, he looked at the others around him and asked, "Has there always been such a lake here?" ”

Listening to Huang Yan's inquiry, everyone shook their heads.

There was only one person, who was also like Huang Yan at this time, with an incredible face, and said: "Lord Factory Governor, my subordinates have lived here in the mountains further west for a few years when I was young, and my subordinates have never remembered any lakes around here, at most they are small pools formed by water accumulation in the rainy season, where is there such a big lake. ”

"If there is such a big lake, how can it be so desolate in a radius of tens of miles. There can be no village without it. But we have come a long way here, but there is not even a single citizen, which is impossible. ”

Where there is a lake, the land must be fertile, and where there is a lot of water, it is convenient to get water, and it is good to farm

A suitable place, how can there be no place for people to farm around.
