Chapter Seventy-Five: Return to Beijing

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

The morning bell and dusk drum, when the last drum is finished, the sky is already dark, and the people of the Beijing camp who are responsible for guarding the Anding Gate are also ready to close the city gate.

However, just as they were about to act, a brocade guard rode his horse from a distance and said loudly:

"Don't close the door! The Fifth Highness is about to enter the city! ”

As soon as this voice sounded, the soldiers of the Beijing camp who wanted to close the door immediately looked at each other, and the movements of their hands slowed down.

It is a felony not to close the gates on time, but it is not necessarily death.

If the Fifth Highness is not allowed to enter the city, it can be said that people will die now.

What Zhu Youzhen did nine days ago, they still remember it deeply, and no one wants to make a fuss, even the guards of Anding.

But fortunately, Zhu Youzhen didn't make it difficult for them, just a tea time, and the brigade of brocade guards escorted his carriage and appeared on the streets of the market town outside the capital.

As the carriage swept by, the relieved soldiers of the Beijing camp closed the city gate.

Although there was a curfew law, those patrolling soldiers and horses did not dare to stop them when they saw such a large group of brocade guards, and they avoided them one after another.

Judging from this behavior, Zhu Youzhen has a little bit of knowing the law and breaking the law.

But for the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the etiquette collapsed, the common people didn't care about the "Da Ming Law", what was the use of him sticking to it alone?

What's more, it is estimated that the good royal brother will know about it, and he will urge him to hurry up.

"Cheng En, call someone to enter the palace and tell the imperial brother that I will see him later."

"Yes......" Wang Chengen bowed his head, and then asked Lu Wenzhao to send a brocade guard to the palace.

Entering Andingmen, soon Zhu Youzhen and his team came to Donghua Gate, and entered the palace after lighting the token.

Crossing the bridge behind the Donghua Gate, Zhu Youzhen saw the brightly lit Wenhua Palace.

He knew that in that palace, there were opponents he needed to fight his wits and courage.

The smartest group of people at the moment are not dead yet, and the best thing for him to do is to lie dormant first.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen's carriage also stopped, and he also got off the carriage and got into the chariot.

Carriages were not allowed to walk in the palace, so they had to be changed.

During this transfer, an official saw Zhu Youzhen, who appeared, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then turned around and walked towards the Wenhua Palace.

However, Zhu Youzhen didn't find out, and urged the chariot to rush to the Qianqing Palace.

Although the Qianqing Palace is an inner court, the good imperial brother has no concubines, and Zhu Youzhen is only ten years old, so frequent entry will not cause impeachment.

However, after a tea time, the blazing chariot took Zhu Youzhen to the Qianqing Gate of the Qianqing Palace.

It's just that before he got out of the car, someone opened the window, revealing a familiar face.

"A few days have passed, and my brother has lost some weight."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youzhen in the carriage and said with a smile, and Zhu Youzhen said helplessly:

"Brother is waiting for me to get out of the car......"

"I didn't stop you?" Zhu Youxiao smiled, and Zhu Youzhen could only get out of the car speechlessly, and then face to face with the good imperial brother.

"Let's go!" The good imperial brother grabbed his hand and dragged him to the Qianqing Palace, saying as he walked:

"I was worried that you wouldn't eat well in Changping yesterday, thinking that you wouldn't come back, so I specially asked Zhongxian to send some food."

"I didn't think that you would come back before the things were delivered."

"I learned that you didn't have dinner, so I asked the imperial chef to make more dishes, and you and I will eat together, and tell me about Changping by the way."

"Your letter is too short, the matter is not clear, stay in the Qianqing Palace today, you and my brother have a good chat."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao stopped, turned around and complained to Zhu Youzhen:

"When others leave the palace, they mostly miss their families, and they miss every word when they write letters."

"It's good that you're out of the imperial city, and you don't even know how to think about home."

"I wrote more than 3,000 words in a handwritten letter, and I only cared about more than 100 words, which is more like a song than those civil officials."

"Forehead ......" Listening to the complaint of the good imperial brother, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Where would he write any fleshy sentences, and the more than 100 words in the letter were not his tone, Wang Chengen felt that the family taste was too weak, so he added it for him.

If this matter is known to the good royal brother, it is estimated that he will be preached again.

Thinking about it, he could only say:

"When I went to Changping this time, I found a lot of things, so I snubbed my brother a little."

Zhu Youxiao didn't care, pulled him to continue walking, and soon walked into the door of the Qianqing Palace, entered the Heart Cultivation Hall from the main hall, and saw a table of food.

"Sit down and talk while you eat." The good imperial brother commanded, and then pulled Zhu Youzhen to sit next to him.

On both sides of the dinner table, there are Wang An, Wei Zhongxian, and Hakka.

Zhu Youzhen nodded to the three of them, as if he was greeting, then sat down and picked up the chopsticks, and told Zhu Youxiao what he knew about the situation in Liaodong while picking up vegetables.

Hearing many of these things, Zhu Youxiao's brows never stretched, and he kept frowning for a quarter of an hour.

It took a few seconds before he spoke:

"According to my younger brother, the group of officials in the south of the Yangtze River deliberately pressed Cao Yin and Cao Grain, and then let the price of grain in the north rise, first asked the merchants to go north to sell grain, and then the grain price stabilized in the north to transport grain?"

"It should be so, but the matter of the grain can't be moved lightly." Zhu Youzhen was afraid that the good imperial brother would come up, so he asked someone to investigate the case, and continued:

"At present, Qichu, Zhejiang, Xuankun and many other parties are making fuss about grain and seeking personal gains."

"My idea is that at the moment, the Liao affairs are chaotic, first control the Liao affairs, use the Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers to guard the two cities of Liaoshen and Shen, and then disarm a little bit to control the situation in Liaodong."

"As for Liaoxiang, in order to avoid deduction, it will be issued after the two armies arrive in Liaoshen and disarm."

"In order to prevent the Liao people from continuing to go north to surrender, they should buy grain from Sichuan, Huguang and other places, and sell it to Liaodong by sea."

"This ......" Hearing that he was going to go by sea, Zhu Youxiao immediately frowned and said:

"As my brother said, if you go by sea, you will naturally be embarrassed by hundreds of officials, and if this will be issued, I am afraid that it will be immediately rejected by the cabinet and the six sections."

Zhu Youxiao was very helpless, during the time when Zhu Youzhen left, he could only find Keshi and Wei Zhongxian, who had no real talent to do, and could only help him relieve his emotions, but he couldn't come up with a good solution.

Now that Zhu Youzhen is back, he has also begun to vomit bitterness.

The first is that many of his holy decrees were rejected by the cabinet and the six sections, one of which was the holy decree that Qi Yuanfu wanted to lead the troops to escort Cao Yin to the north.

Therefore, he could only sigh at Zhu Youzhen's idea of taking the sea.

However, how to take the sea and calm the grain in Liaodong, Zhu Youzhen has long had an idea:

"Brother, don't worry, I already have an idea about how to go by sea, I just need my brother's help."

"Oh? Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao also came to his senses, and wanted to know what good method Zhu Youzhen had, and Zhu Youzhen also said slowly:

"It's easy to ...... way"
