Visiting Harbour City?

Qi Chunnian's proposal really made Queen Zhou feel quite strong.

Because the news in the "Oriental Times" is often accompanied by some related pictures, many of which are pictures of Harbour City, in which high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and bright lights always give people a feeling that it is not very real, is there really such a prosperous and rich place in this world?

Is there really a city that is more beautiful and magnificent than the capital?

This made her have the idea of going over and seeing if it was true or false more than once.

It's just that most of the members of the royal family can only live in the deep palace, it is extremely difficult to go out, and the civil officials will also block it in various ways, and the cost is extremely high, and they can't leave the palace several times a year, and it is even more impossible to go out of Beijing.

may be to see Queen Zhou's concerns.

Qi Chunnian struck while the iron was hot: "All expenses such as food and accommodation expenses, security expenses, and transportation expenses are provided by Xujiazhuang, and they are reimbursed according to the highest specifications, and as long as the royal family members are willing to visit Harbour City, the total debt packaged by the royal family will be reduced by 1.5 million silver dollars, leaving only 20 million!" ”

"In other words, as long as you go to such a trip, you can eat, drink, and have free accommodation, provide perfect security, and reduce a lot of debts, which is equivalent to making millions."

In addition, Xujiazhuang's "three years to repair the road 100,000 miles" plan has been completed in advance, from the capital to the harbor city, not only there are flat and wide stone roads, but also across the river wharves and bridges, the traffic is very convenient, even in winter does not affect the passage of the main road, and then sit on the tire type with elastic yellow shock absorption of the senior four-wheeled carriage, not only fast, but also almost no bumps, you can enjoy the scenery along the way, enjoy the splendid rivers and mountains, comfortable to the harbor city. @精华\/Shuge*First Update~~"

"Mother, think about it."

After hearing this.

The heart is moved.

Empress Zhou admitted that she was moved, she was originally from Suzhou, and later moved to the capital, even so, the scenery and things in the south of the Yangtze River, the customs and humanities of Suzhou, still left a deep impression on her mind, because it was her childhood memories.

It would be nice to go back and have a look.

Not only did she feel moved, but even Zhu Youzhen, who was hiding behind the curtain, was also moved, who doesn't want to go to see the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River? Even if he is still the emperor, but people are naturally freedom-loving, although the palace is large, but living in the palace for more than ten years in a row, everyone will feel depressed and bored, and they will also look forward to the vast world outside.

So hearing Qi Chunnian's instigation and suggestion, Zhu Youzhen almost couldn't help jumping out, raising his hand and saying that he was going too.

It's just that he is the king of a country, and it is impossible to get out of the palace, and the civil officials will try their best to stop him.

Empress Zhou said: "Sir, the palace can't decide for a while, I have to discuss it with Your Majesty, how about giving you an answer tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, we'll come back tomorrow."

Qi Chunnian and Gu Tianci left.

Emperor Zhu Youzhen walked out from behind the curtain with his hands behind his back, with a straight face, and he couldn't see what his expression was.

"Your Majesty, you see ...... matter"

Empress Zhou looked at him and asked, "Do you want the concubine to take a few members of the royal family to visit the harbor city?" Alleviate some debt? ”

"Humph! The businessman is cunning, mercenary, and unscrupulous, if you really take people to Harbour City, maybe you will become a hostage of Xujiazhuang, and use them to threaten me, I just don't want to form a full alliance with them, maybe I have to agree to it, it's better not to go. ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a wary and suspicious face.

"Your Majesty, last night, how did you promise this palace? The matter with Xu Jiazhuang is all left to me to deal with, has Your Majesty forgotten this promise so quickly? Empress Zhou asked with apricot eyes glaring at him.

"Ahem, I, I......"

"Does Your Majesty's words count?"

"Count, I've always been a man of my word!" Zhu Youzhen said.

"Okay, this is to take the royal family members to visit Harbour City, and the concubine agreed, and I will give Mr. Qi and President Gu an answer tomorrow, and make the trip as soon as possible." Empress Zhou said indiscriminately.

"This ...... Okay. ”

Zhu Youzhen is actually arrogant and opposed, but what is his current identity? It's a poor bastard who is bankrupt inside! I don't want to find a way to solve the debt problem.

, don't think about it this year, where is there room for arrogance.

As for whether Xu Jiazhuang will detain members of the royal family and coerce him, it can only be said that people who think like this are completely careful people who live in the belly of a gentleman, Xu Jiazhuang has money and strength, and has always liked to defeat opponents in a dignified manner, so it is impossible to do and disdain to do lo things, except for ruining his reputation, he can't bring any benefits, Zhu Youzhen just instinctively raised the bar, in fact, he himself didn't believe that Xu Jiazhuang would detain people.

And on the same day, Empress Zhou began to get busy with Zhang Luo, thinking about which royals would be more suitable to go to Harbour City?

The crown prince Zhu Cihong was going to take it, and the prince himself shouted many times, saying that he must go to Xujiazhuang in the future to see, and to learn more advanced things, Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not object to this, because in many aspects, it is indeed Xujiazhuang that is more advanced, and if you don't admit it, you have to admit it.

Daughter Zhu Yujiao, only five years old this year, too young, may not be able to withstand this long-distance bumps, not to mention that the weather is still so cold, if you are not careful, you may catch a cold, if you put it in the past, there will be a risk of early death, but ...... I heard that Xu Yuan's eldest son, Xu Jiaguang, is four years old this year, just one year younger than Yu Jiao, which can be regarded as the same age, and he can play together, maybe......

Bring on, bring on.

This precious girl has to be brought with her, too.

There is also a three-year-old son Zhu Cijiong, who is particularly clingy to himself, and will cry when he walks away a little, although it will be inconvenient to bring him, but it will be more uneasy not to bring it, and it seems that he can only bring it.

Together, there are two princes and a princess, and the heavyweight royals are completely enough.

But Queen Zhou is a woman, in this male-dominated world, there are too many inconveniences after all, and she also needs to be fully protected, especially if there must be a man around her, so among her three elder brothers, she can call two to help deal with some things that need men to come forward.

In addition, there must be a body of self who can speak by your side.

But there are not many such people in the palace, Tian Guifei is quite hostile to her, and the other concubines are afraid or respectful of her, and dare not get too close, only Zhang Yan, the imperial sister-in-law who has also been the queen, is the best friend who has nothing to talk about.

It's better to call the imperial sister-in-law too, so that there is someone to talk to along the way, and she won't be bored, and she can help bring the three children.

So in Ciqing Palace, I found the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan who was worshiping the Buddha and asking for blessings, and Queen Zhou sent an invitation, hoping that she could follow the harbor city together, visit and visit, relax her mood, and said quite distressedly: "The imperial sister-in-law does not go out of the palace all year round, and takes the ancient Buddha of the green lantern as her companion every day, and the good years are deserted, why don't you go out of the palace to see, go to Xujiazhuang to see?" Now the opportunity is rare, how about coming with me to see the great mountains and rivers of Daming? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Yan suddenly hesitated and subconsciously refused. @精华\/Shuge*First update~~

On the one hand, she has become accustomed to this kind of dead and silent life, and has nothing else to ask for except to hope for the peace of the country and the people.

Secondly, after the death of her husband Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Yan was tired of everything in this world, although she was beautiful on the outside, her heart was like dead wood, and there was no interest, even if the outside was changing with each passing day, it was extremely beautiful, she still preferred to stay in this cold and lonely palace.

What's more, her current identity is a widow, and she must abide by women's morals and keep the royal family's face.

In the face of the imperial sister-in-law's resistance, Queen Zhou used a little coquettish means, pulled her arm and said: "Imperial sister-in-law, you can go with me, you can read the "Oriental Times" for a long time, doesn't it mean that although Xu Jiazhuang is good, there are such and such problems, and that Xu Yuan, do you say that this person is shrewd, hypocritical, and a big rebel and thief?" When you arrive at Harbour City and see Xu Yuan, you reprimand him to your face and see how he argues? Maybe you will be speechless by you, and in the future, you will not only be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but also strive for better cooperation conditions...... Imperial sister-in-law, you can help me make suggestions and bring more benefits to the royal family and the Ming Dynasty, which is much better than burning incense and worshiping Buddha every day, right? ”

"I'm just a woman, how can I fight for the interests of the royal family?"

Zhang Yan couldn't help but show timidity, although she often pointed out the country and expressed her opinions in front of Queen Zhou, but she was a woman, how could she decide what to do with men?

"When His Majesty was able to succeed to the throne, most of them were not the imperial sisters-in-law.

Credit? If there was no royal sister-in-law to help, how could Your Majesty be where you are today? This is a great contribution to the stability of the country, a hundred pavilion elders can not compare to the imperial sister-in-law, there is the imperial sister-in-law by his side as a military advisor, to the harbor city, Xujiazhuang not only can not damage the royal interests, but also give up countless interests, only the imperial sister-in-law followed, I am a little sure, if you don't go, the royal family may become a puppet of Xujiazhuang in the future...... Imperial sister-in-law, you know, I usually take care of children, how can I deal with any major things. ”

Empress Zhou pleaded. Initial Update@

Later, Empress Zhou called Zhu Youzhen and Concubine Liu over to do Zhang Yan's ideological work together, and they all thought that if she, as an important representative of the royal family, followed her to Xujiazhuang Harbour City, she would not only be able to expose many female conspiracies, but also strive for better negotiation conditions for the royal family and bring greater benefits.

Anyway, it really can't be without her this time - in fact, Zhu Youzhen and others also feel sorry for Zhang Yan's loneliness and loneliness, and hope that she will go out and have a good time.

"Alright! I'll go! ”

Zhang Yan, who couldn't stand this round of persuasion, finally had to bite her lip, nodded and said, since everyone entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, then she had to go and have a good competition with that Xu Jiazhuang, and never lose the face of the royal family and lose the interests of the royal family.

……

The next morning.

Qi Chunnian and Gu Tianci, who entered the palace again, got the reply of Queen Zhou's consent to visit Harbour City.

And that's not all!

A list of the core members of the royal family who will go is also available: there are nearly twenty.

There are also more than 300 eunuchs, palace maids, and grandmothers.

The guards in charge of protection, such as Jin Wuwei and Jinyi Guard, also have a total of as many as 1,000 people.

All of them are close to 1,500 people, and the weather is getting colder, which can be inconvenient, so it's best to plan your departure as soon as possible.

And the related expenses and expenses, I also hope that Xu Jiazhuang will provide, and they will bring some food at most.

"Okay, no problem, we'll organize and arrange it right away, and we'll leave within two days!"

Qi Chunnian said with a happy face.
