Zhu Houzhao also went to Nanjing in his previous life, and even walked through the Qinhuai River, but the Qinhuai River at that time obviously did not have the charm of today.

The identity of the emperor is actually a big problem, it is really unsightly to ask the flowers, and he is not so bad, if he wants a woman, it is really easy for him.

It's just that this kind of thing in the previous life can't be above board, so I want to get on a flower boat and browse along the river.

In fact, Emperor Xuanzong also toured the south three times during his reign, and he watched operas and visited gardens, but there was no record of night tours of the Qinhuai River.

In this case, he can only control and control, and he really can't come back later, and he left such a scandal on his first southern tour, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate.

But you can still walk in the city of Nanjing.

On that day, Wang Bingyu reported some civil affairs in Yingtianfu, Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, basically the same as in Huai'an Mansion, since it is the same type of matter, there will not be much difference in the way of handling it.

is not afraid of more, Zhu Houzhao occupies the righteousness of being the master of the people, and killing more is also a good deed.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Mao Wenwen always accompany him, and wherever the emperor went, he went, so there were more Jinyi guards in Nanjing.

Zhu Houzhao walked out of the palace today, all the way to the mansion of Wei Guogong.

The current Duke of Wei is named Xu Li, in addition to this title, he also bears the garrison of Nanjing, it can be said that he is extremely powerful, and his reputation is actually good, but it is a pity that he is sixty-five years old this year, and his health is not very good.

He has a son who died early, and now all hope falls on his grandson, Xu Pengju, who has the name of 'Straw Bale General'.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't know this period of history, but he just judges from the existing information - Xu Li is okay, and Xu Pengju probably doesn't have the atmosphere of Naizu.

When the emperor came, the mansion of the Wei State was full of splendor, and even the dead leaves that fell in the flower beds were all cleaned up.

The palace covers a vast area, the mansion is magnificent, the entrance is a spacious courtyard, the straight road crosses the fake lake in the palace, the lake is full of lotuses, there are promenades on both sides, the carved patterns inlaid on the promenade are each different, showing the grace of the courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, knelt down with his family to greet him, which was an honor that the Xu family had not had for many years.

Zhu Houzhao also saw him for the first time, so he didn't be polite to him, let him do a complete courtesy, and finally stood in front of him and said, "Calm down, Wei Guogong." Go inside, I have something to tell you. ”

"Yes, the old minister thanked Your Majesty."

The relatively young man who helped him up on the side should be Xu Pengju, with a square face and a thin figure, Zhu Houzhao only glanced at it, and then he 'became a guest-oriented' and walked in front, Wei Guogong has been following behind.

"Since the day I left Beijing, I have been thinking that after I arrive in Nanjing, I will also come to the Wei State Mansion. Back then, the king of Zhongshan assisted the ancestors to set the world, which was a great achievement, and the first emperor also had a similar will, so you can come here, come and take a look at the heroes. However, some ministers said that I went all the way south and never entered the courtier's mansion, and it was too much to visit the grace of the sudden visit, especially the Duke of Wei had already enjoyed the glory, but I thought about it, the royal family and the nobles are one, how can there be anything too much. Wei Guogong, don't you say? ”

The emperor's words made clear the meaning, even the political purpose was clearly and clearly.

This made Xu Li a little surprised, after all, this kind of truth, you just think about it in your heart, and take it out to say what to do. It seems that I didn't want to come, but I had to send a political signal to the world, so I came.

However, later I also talked about the unity of the royal family......

In general, it shows both honor and favor, but also retains some distance, which will allow them to maintain respect for the imperial power.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't mean to say this, but after being the emperor for ten years, these are already subconscious behaviors.

Xu Li is old and refined, and he faintly feels that the Son of Heaven is famous, this is not fake, "All the grace and glory of the Wei Mansion depend on His Majesty's reward, and the old ministers often miss the grace of heaven, and they dare not rely on the merits of their ancestors." ”

"Yes. One more thing. Zhu Houzhao slowly tapped the fan in his right hand on his left hand, and the whole person looked relaxed, "Nanjing's imperial palace I think it's very good, maybe you can come and live for a while after a while, Emperor Taizu was here to set a big tomorrow, come once, and remind me that it is not easy for my ancestors to start a business." Therefore, you have to guard this Nanjing city for me, the filial piety tomb, the palace, and the Dabao'en Temple are all very important places, and there is no room for loss. Since the Duke of Wei and the royal family are one, these things of the royal family ...... Wei Guogong, you can't hide at all. ”

Xu Li naturally didn't say anything, "The emperor's teachings, the old ministers remember." The whole of the Duke of Wei is willing to serve the emperor! ”

After arriving at the house, Zhu Houzhao turned his gaze to the side again, "Is this your grandson?" ”

"Exactly, Pengju, why don't you hurry up and meet the emperor?"

Zhu Houzhao had heard some names of this person in his previous life, but he was not impressed, looking at him at this moment, he felt like a child who had not grown up, probably summoned by the emperor, so his face was full of joy.

"Minister Xu Pengju, knock on the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Get up."

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao kept laughing, but what he wanted to hide in his heart might scare the two of them, but the matter should still be done, "Wei Guogong,"

"The old minister is here."

"I have another matter today, I don't know how to talk about it."

"Please make it clear to the emperor, but if there is a need, the old minister will do his best."

"It's not a big deal, I handled a case in Huai'an Mansion, and I heard that it also spread to Yingtianfu, and the people rushed to tell each other, and the drums of grievances sounded one after another. It seems that there is something related to the Wei State Mansion...... people? ”

As soon as Xu Li heard this, the old face turned white with fright, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty spares your life!" The old minister, the old minister, didn't know that there was such a thing! ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's just a trivial matter. I was secretly thinking about not making a big deal out of it today. Zhu Houzhao got up and went to help the sixty-five-year-old man up, but he didn't want to scare people to death when he came, it would be embarrassing.

Not only that, but he also comforted and said: "I, the emperor, have also made progress compared to those years, knowing that this person who is an official is sometimes easy to be harmed by some relatives and friends, what kind of concubine's maiden family, housekeeper's relatives...... When they get their hands on you, they will climb upon you in desperation. Wei Guogong's personality, I am clear, you say you don't know, I believe. But there is indeed such a thing, and now that it is coming to me, I can't help but let the people call the shots, so ......"

The emperor's smile hid a knife in his face. It's all soft talk, and it's not soft at all to do things.

Xu Li had no choice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, no matter who dares to deceive and oppress the good under the brand of the Duke of Wei, the court will not accept him, and the old minister will not tolerate him!" ”

"That's good. I am just to wake up today, so that the people below will not chew the root of their tongues with snakes, snakes, scorpions, and scorpions. All right, arise y'all. Zhu Houzhao smiled and bared his teeth.

He didn't want to come to Nanjing to make any jokes with Wei Guogong, the identity of this family is a little sensitive, unless it is really a serious crime, it is all because of him, the emperor.

But the influence of the Wei Mansion in this territory is not small, and the news from Wang Bing and Jinyiwei is vaguely related to the Xu family, since this is the case, there is only one way left.

In the end, politics can be said to be boring, or it can be said to be subtle, and it is nothing more than that.

Poor Xu Li was taken aback, the emperor's grace is difficult to discern, there is really something to call the Jinyi guards in the city to be caught, just don't move his foundation, but as the emperor, it is still easy to make their family uncomfortable.

Now to survive with a broken tail can be regarded as a timely stop loss.

After Zhu Houzhao said a few words, he stopped mentioning this matter, and instead talked to Xu Li about the defense of Nanjing and other defenses.
