In order to prepare for going north, Zhu Gaochi was busy losing weight, and Cheng Yuan was not idle.

Time is like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of departure for the Northern Tour.

It began to rain heavily early in the morning, Cheng Yuan looked at Cheng Zhengqing and said, "Don't embarrass me, don't run around at will, otherwise you will come back and hang up and fight."

"You're talking about Hongu."

Xianning told the truth in one sentence, Cheng Zhengqing was cleaned up a few days ago, and he was like a cat a long time ago, but Cheng Yuan didn't worry about Xianning saying this. Look at the horn

Cheng Yuan didn't reply to this, this time the ones who could go north with Zhu Di were Cheng Zhengqing and Xianning, and the other princesses were eager to stick to Zhu Di and Queen Xu, but he couldn't go by himself, plus An Cheng was pregnant, and it was not easy to run.

"Grandpa Guo, the Northern Patrol is about to set off."

Shi Kai went to the front yard to remind him and arched his hand: "Hubu Shangshu, please come over."

Natsuhara Yoshi looking for me? This Xia Lao is looking for me to do something.

"I'll send His Highness over first, and then I'll look for him."

Cheng Yuan glanced at the tiger head that Xianning embroidered on his clothes, and said with disgust: "Can I not wear this autumn coat?"

Xianning said arrogantly: "This palace has been embroidered for a long time."

Cheng Yuan smiled, saying that he liked it very much, and then put it on and praised Xianning.

Shi Kai and Cao De, who were standing not far away, looked at it and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

Why is the embroidery of His Royal Highness Xianning so bad, and the embroidered tiger is too ugly, they don't want to go out with Grandpa Guo to run errands.

Seeing that Cheng Yuan was talking to his entourage in the north, An Cheng said: "The pair of little sick cats you embroidered on his robe"

"It's a tiger." Xianning argued.

"Okay, it's a tiger, if I were him, I wouldn't have the face to wear it."

An Cheng couldn't help laughing, he only felt that the sick cat was stupid and cute, and it was embarrassing for her, and she didn't like to be a female celebrity since she was a child.

Then he went down the steps with the burden in his hand, handed it to Xian Ning and said: "It's cool in autumn in the north, bring your clothes, supervise Zhengqing to drink water, and I have prepared some snacks, I'll take them to you later."

"By the way, this is the pill I asked Kuang Yu to prepare, take it for the queen mother, this is a rheumatism plaster, take it for my father, and you have to watch them carefully, you can't make trouble, Zhiming, you have to help my sister take care of him."

Cheng Yuan took the robe and put it on An Cheng's body and said, "Your Highness go in, it's raining, the ground is too slippery, be careful, I'll arrange these things."

Xianning didn't want to go, she still liked to stay in Yingtian, who had Chengyuan, "Sister, I don't want to go." ”

The shortest northern tour takes a year, and the arrangement of Zhu Di and Empress Xu, no one knows, and it is impossible to be sure, Cheng Yuan knows Xianning's character and temper, so he said kindly: "Going north, I originally also went, but there are many things in the capital, and your sister is pregnant and can't travel long distances, so I will work Your Highness to go, and when this side is busy, we will also go north to find you next year."

Xianning listened to Cheng Yuan's words, and became happy in her heart, and said, "Sister, you take care of your body, and I'll take Zhengqing with you."

When it was almost time to reach Natsuharayoshi's household.

Cao De said: "I don't want to accompany Guogong for a while, that sick cat is too embarrassing,"

Shi Kai shook his head.

Cheng Yuan walked a few steps and said: "It's His Royal Highness Xianning's intention, and he pricked his hands for embroidering a cat, and he dressed it."

When Zhu Di left Beijing this time, Xia Yuanji was left in Yingtian to accompany Zhu Gaochi to deal with government affairs.

"Your Majesty has gone north, and now I am afraid that I have not yet come out of the sky, according to the plan, I will go to Qufu to worship the Confucian saints, and then I will go to Yanzhou and Qingzhou to see the two vassal kings, stay in Jinan for a few days, and then go to Beiping Mansion!"

Cheng Yuan said to Xia Yuanji: "Your Majesty has left Beijing, I'm afraid that the affairs of the court are a little cumbersome, the prince will arrest me in the past few days and let me enter the palace." But I can't forget that about the matter of the water master, I will prepare a detailed account for Xia Shangshu when I arrive, you can take a look, and then approve it, and you must come over in the most complete order.

”

Zhu Di went north to let Zhu Gaochi supervise the country, and in order to ensure that everything is not suspected or used by people with intentions, he must do it fairly and well.

Xia Yuanji and the officials of the household department hurriedly got up and said yes, saying that they would be ready.

"Regarding the matter of the Shenji Battalion, although I don't know how to make firearms, this aspect can be respected. Even about the shipyard, I hope you can spend more time on this. ”

Household officials also said that because Zhu Di has always advocated the matter of the Shenji Battalion, everyone has no intention of shirking the allocation of firearms.

Cheng Yuan happily patted the book on his hand, Zhu Di toured the north and handed over to him the increase in sailors and the investment in the shipyard.

In particular, he also asked Xia Yuanji to study the matter of the reform of the treasure banknote.

Cheng Yuan proposed a policy of collecting business taxes, and Zhu Di also delegated power to him.

In addition to Chen Ying staying in the capital, the annoying Jin Youzi was also taken away, and Cheng Yuan was very grateful to Zhu Di for this matter.

He can take the holy decree given by His Majesty, do things well, and let go of his hands and feet.

The news of His Majesty's northern tour soon spread throughout the north and south of the river, and officials from various provinces built roads and bridges one after another, vigorously improving people's livelihood.

The officials are very busy, and they all want to behave well in front of Zhu Di.

There are also officials who even mobilize the old scholars of those big families. Started to run a school to teach the children of the common people.

Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi and others also temporarily put aside the matter of the Yongle Grand Ceremony in order to assist Zhu Gaochi in supervising the country, leaving only Yang Rong alone.

Cheng Yuan was naturally busier, busy running on both sides of the Zhenguo Academy and the Imperial Palace, and he had to go and supervise the affairs of the Great Bao'en Temple and the Water Master in his spare time.

Several times, Zhu Bai went to the Zhenguo Mansion to look for him, but he couldn't find him.

Because the place where Cheng Yuan sleeps is not fixed.

Sometimes it's in the Ministry of Industry, sometimes it's at the construction site of Dabao'en Temple, and sometimes it's where Zhu Gaochi handles things.

Of course, at most, it is still in Zhenguo Academy.

In October, I went to the Ming Tomb to worship Zhu Di.

At the beginning of November, the weather gradually cooled down.

Zhu Gaochi sent the household department to check the autumn tax in various places, and began to deal with the arrears in various places.

Cheng Yuan said to Yang Rong: "The Yongle Canon has to be compiled, and the progress here must also catch up."

Yang Rong said: "Recently, I am alone, and there are many compilations, and those ten Hanlin are not as good as Bachelor Yang and Bachelor Reconciliation, so the natural progress will fall."

Zhu Gaochi said: "This palace has also felt a lot of difficulty recently, but this palace has seen that Mr. has lost a lot of weight, and the crown princess said to let this palace prepare some supplements for you."

Cheng Yuan said: "I don't eat it." Thank you, Crown Princess. uu read the book "

Yang Rong smiled and said, "But you forgot that His Royal Highness An Cheng needs, and Zhenguo Gong is afraid that he has forgotten."

Cheng Yuan said truthfully: "I haven't been back for a few days, even if I am rewarded with supplements, I won't go back."

Zhu Gaochi was puzzled: "Then what are you going to do tonight?"

Cheng Yuan only said that he was going to compile a new manuscript of the Yongle Ceremony with Yang Rong tonight.

"Zhenguo Gong is not an ordinary military general, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a teacher."

Yang Rong was surprised: "I only heard that the idea of this canon was originally from the Guogong, and I didn't think that the compilation of the Guogong would still understand, so I can borrow it from the Guogong tonight to help us catch up with some progress."

Wenyuan Pavilion.

Cheng Yuan put the manuscript that needed to be revised and sorted it out in order.

This set of procedures is done without any mistakes, and it is even better than those Hanlin.

Yang Rong wrote while holding a pen, and said: "Guogong can rest."

"What time is it?" Cheng Yuan asked without raising his head.

"Returning to China, Grandpa has been on the third shift." The eunuch on duty said.

Cheng Yuan saw the books and Wence sent by the civil officials and continued to sort them out.

When Yang Rong was resting, he came over and said, "I didn't expect you to understand this thing, I really admire it."

Takeo for these. It is very rare to understand nature, Yang Rong didn't expect Cheng Yuan to really understand.

"Scholar Yang only believes it now? Then I opened the Zhenguo Academy before, haven't you seen it? ”

Yang Rong shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's because if this Yongle Canon is well compiled, it can be like a history book and a name in history, which academy can compare."

Cheng Yuan smiled: "There are still many of them in this guild."
