"It's hard......"

After everyone left the dormitory, Chief Zhu You sighed.

It was too difficult to save the Ming Dynasty from the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Far away, just say next year.

If Zhu Youzhen is not mistaken, because the follow-up turmoil of the defeat of Salhu will continue to ferment, first because of the white pole soldiers of Shizhu out of Sichuan, and finally after the destruction of the entire army in the Hunhe River, Yongning Tusi Xuan Chongming has a chance.

The Ministry of War requisitioned and dispatched Hao Chongming to lead his troops and horses to rescue Liaodong, and Hao Chongming took the opportunity to lead 20,000 cavalry to Chongqing.

He took the opportunity of the school to perform martial arts, killed more than 20 military and political officials such as the governor Xu Keqiu, launched a rebellion, occupied Chongqing, attacked Hejiang, broke Luzhou, trapped Zunyi, founded the country "Daliang", set up the prime minister, five governments and other officials, and the whole Shu was shaken.

In the second year, Guizhou Shuixi Tusi An Bangyan also raised troops against the Ming, gathered 100,000 people, and captured the Bijie area.

The scale of this rebellion was huge, which greatly dispersed the manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, and led to a sharp increase in funding.

At the same time, Nurhachi also continued to attack cities and plunder land in Liaodong, and it was not until the second year of Chongzhen that the Tusi rebellion, known as the "Lu'an Rebellion", was quelled.

After that, there was a national drought in the Ming Dynasty, and he successfully fell into the countdown of life.

Therefore, for Zhu Youzhen, the first thing to do now is to prepare for the extravagant Chongming army that may break out next year.

As for how to do it, he already has confidence in his heart, but he still needs to discuss it with his good imperial brother.

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Youzhen waited in the dormitory for a while, and after the eunuch brought the meal, he solved the problem of the Five Organs Temple in a short time, and then prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Jin Yiwei hurriedly asked the eunuch of the East Palace to prepare the elephant chariot for the prince to ride.

Elephant chariot, which is a kind of ivory decorated carriage, it is pulled by a horse, which was once the emperor's chariot, and after the Ming Dynasty, it became the prince's means of transportation in the palace.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many means of transportation in the imperial palace, and the tools that could be used by various classes also had rules on etiquette.

In the palace, the highest level is called 大辂 [lù], followed by jade 辂.

Both of these are used for very formal occasions, the decoration is extremely luxurious, and the driving is with two elephants.

The chariots of the third and fourth classes are called large and small chariots, and they are drawn by eight horses and four horses respectively.

The next level is the chariot, that is, the car pulled by people, and there is a slightly smaller level in the chariot, called the Daliang chariot, which is often used in summer.

The lowest class is called Yu, that is, the sedan chair.

The above seven kinds of chariots were used exclusively by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and their ornaments have extremely strict regulations.

These were used inside the imperial city, and if the emperor went out, there were also large shelves that were erected, decorated with silk and satin, as a palace for action.

As for the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Empress, the driving level is smaller than that of the Emperor, and there are four categories: chariot and car, roadblock, and obstacle; The emperor's and empress's chariots were only ceremonial cars, and they were not usually used.

There are only three kinds of imperial concubines, which are phoenix sedan chairs, walking obstacles, and sitting obstacles; Not eligible to use a wheel.

In addition to the above identities, there are also princes and princes who can use the specification tool of "chariot".

However, the crown prince generally uses a gold chariot, and the prince uses an elephant chariot, both of which are formal ceremonial cars.

With the help of Jinyiwei, Zhu Youzhen got on his elephant wheel with some difficulty, opened the window and sat in the wheel.

Seeing this, the eunuch who drove the car carefully shook the reins, drove a white horse to pull an elephant chariot, and rushed towards the main hall with Zhu Youzhen.

Behind the elephant, there were also twelve brocade guards, full of pomp.

It's just that when they just walked out of the gate of the East Palace, a Jinyi Wei Zongqi also walked quickly from the side gate of the Imperial Palace, and when he saw the elephant, he hurriedly saluted.

"What's wrong with being in such a hurry?" Zhu Youzhen lifted the bamboo curtain made of ivory and asked the general banner of Jinyiwei.

Seeing this, the general flag hurriedly stepped forward to make a compilation and explained to Zhu Youzhen:

"Your Royal Highness, Lu Tongzhi sent officials to come to your Highness, and the eunuch Wang An, the eunuch who is in charge of the seal, has moved Concubine Kang Niangniang from the Qianqing Palace to the Renshou Hall of the Luan Palace."

"Long live has settled in the Qianqing Palace in advance at the suggestion of the Hakka family."

"......" Hearing Lu Wenzhao's words, Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, and suddenly felt bad.

He originally thought that his royal brother was at most family affection for the Hakka family, but now it seems that he did not listen to his own words, but chose the words of the Hakka family.

In this way, at present, his right to speak is still not as good as that of Hakka.

Zhu Youjian stood on the palace road and pondered, and only after a few seconds did he speak:

"The Qianqing Palace is the inner palace, and officials from the outer court are not allowed to enter, so where is Lu Wenzhao right now? Who is guarding the Qianqing Palace? ”

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's inquiry, Zongqi was slightly stunned, and then said:

"Long live the move to the Qianqing Palace, it was arranged by the Hakka family, and Wei Jinzhong was called to lead the Jingjun to defend the Qianqing Palace, and he was also promoted to the eunuch in charge of the Salary Division."

"Lu Tongzhi was arranged by Long Live to inspect the Jinshen Palace, saying that the Jinshen Palace is close to the Qianqing Palace, and it is good to summon if there is something."

"In addition, long live the opening, if His Highness wakes up, you can go to the Qianqing Palace."

"Sure enough......" Hearing General Qi's words, Zhu Youzhen was terrified, and couldn't help but feel that fortunately he didn't embarrass Wei Jinzhong in the morning.

Judging from the current situation, the Hakka family likes Wei Jinzhong very much, and in Zhu Youxiao's heart, his status should be similar to that of the Hakka family.

It can be seen from the fact that although Zhu Youxiao listened to the words of the Ke family and moved to the Qianqing Palace, he still asked Lu Wenzhao to patrol the closest Jinshen Hall to the Qianqing Palace.

He further explored his position in Zhu Youxiao's heart, and he knew what he was probably going to do before he touched Zhu Youxiao's bottom line.

Thinking like this, he turned his head to the eunuch in charge of driving and said, "Go to the Qianqing Palace." ”

"The slave takes the command." When the eunuch heard this, he led the horse to the Qianqing Palace.

They drove to the right gate of the Imperial Palace, and the Jinyi guard, who was responsible for guarding this place, saw this, and cautiously checked the waist card and elephant chariot to Zhu Youzhen.

They opened the door and let them go, and the carriage also entered the large square behind the Imperial Palace.

However, Zhu Youzhen and the others did not stop, but just crossed the Huangji Palace, the Huagai Palace, and the Jinshen Hall all the way, and then came to the Qianqing Gate in front of the Qianqing Palace.

"Appeal ......"

The driving eunuch stopped the carriage, then took off the stool he was sitting on, and helped Zhu Youzhen to get out of the car.

When Zhu Youzhen got out of the car, he saw that the gate of the Qianqing Palace had been replaced by a group of Jingjun eunuchs he didn't know.

Lu Wenzhao had been waiting for Zhu Youzhen around here, and when he saw the appearance of the elephant, he walked up all the way, held an umbrella to shade Zhu Youzhen, and explained:

"His Royal Highness and the inner court are controlled by Wang An, Wei Jinzhong, and the Hakka family, and the eunuchs of the Qingong Palace can't enter the ......"

"......" Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, and then said to Lu Wenzhao:

"I'll go in first, forgive them for not daring to do anything to me, you can take someone to watch it well, and take care of Nanzhen Fusi."

"How many people are there in Nanzhen Fusi now? How many people are calibrated? ”

Lu Wenzhao saw Zhu Youzhen say this, and replied softly:

"According to the list, it is six hundred and seventy-two, but in the eyes of the vacancy over the years, there are still many people who let others impersonate them on business trips, and the actual number should be less than two hundred, and the Nanzhen Fusi has been in arrears for six months."

"Then pick a few from the two hundred people you can use, and the same is true for the Beizhen Fusi." Zhu Youzhen said magnificently:

"If Luo Sigong dares to embarrass you, just tell me."

"Nanzhen Fusi's Yu Lu, I will tell Banzai and ask him to transfer silver taels from the inner transport warehouse."

"What you have to do is to teach me the Nanzhen Fuji well, and tell them who their faithful people are."

"I don't want to use them in the future, and there will be those people who stretch out their hands!"
