Chapter 317: Changling
The waterway is really fast, and even at night, Zhu Zhanyan did not stop, but let people take turns and run towards Shuntianfu all the time.
Halfway through the next day, that is, near noon, Zhu Zhan finally arrived in Tongzhou.
After getting off the boat, Zhu Zhanyan did not stop there, and did not even report to the palace and the Ministry of Rites, and directly marched towards Shuntianfu with an army of 30,000 people.
looks menacing, looking like an army to rebel and attack the imperial city.
It's just that although Zhu Zhanyan entered Shuntian Mansion, he did not enter Shuntian City, but went straight to the north.
There is a mountain about 100 miles north of Suncheon Fortress called Tianshou Mountain.
Here, it is the location of the Ming Changling Mausoleum, and it is also ......
The old man's resting place.
The guards of Changling are very strict, after all, it is where the imperial tomb is located, but the guards of Changling did not stop Zhu Zhanyan, and they didn't even come forward, and let him go directly.
Part of the reason is that the more than 30,000 people brought by Zhu Zhanyan, but there is another part of the reason.
Inside the Imperial Mausoleum, the Hall of Grace.
Changling is actually a three-way building, the first into the kitchen, the library and the stele pavilion and other buildings, the second into the Qi'en Gate and the Qi'en Palace, and the third into the Mausoleum Gate.
Zhu Zhanyan was in the second hall of Qi'en at this time.
Kneeling on the futon, Zhu Zhanyan didn't make any movements, just kneeling quietly, and in front of him was the place where the spiritual seat was placed.
And now, only the old man's spiritual position is there alone.
Emperor Hongxi died too early, and it was only one year from his succession to his death, and even the first year of the era name was not used up.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty began to build their own mausoleums from the time of succession, and the old man's long mausoleum was not fully completed until the eleventh year of Yongle.
As you can imagine, building a mausoleum is not a simple matter.
Historically, the mausoleum of Emperor Hongxi is a dedication, because of the relationship between the edict of Emperor Hongxi, it took only three months from the beginning of the construction to the end, which is considered short in all dynasties.
And now, the construction of the tomb has not yet begun.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhu Zhanyan's mouth tugged at a mocking smile.
Rights, when it is really a good thing, can not only make a person completely become another person, but even make people forget important things.
"His Royal Highness."
The sound is very subtle, and when you hear it, you can tell that it is from a far away place, and that is because of the special place.
This is the Ming Changling Mausoleum, the eternal resting place of the Yongle Emperor, except for the direct descendants of Zhu Zhanqi, only some specific people can come in.
Zhu Zhanyan has never been a rule-abiding person, but this is only relatively speaking, there are some rules that he will still follow.
Respectfully kowtowed, Zhu Zhanyan stood up, walked out of the Qi'en Palace, and came to the Qi'en Gate.
"His Royal Highness, the Prince of the World...... Zhu Ling bowed, then walked quickly to Zhu Zhan's side, and whispered a few words in Zhu Zhan's ear.
"What about people?" Zhu Zhanqi looked at Zhu Ling in surprise.
"Back to Your Highness, I'm in the Divine Kitchen."
"I see." Zhu Zhanyan nodded, did not speak again, but turned around to himself, re-entered the Qi'en Palace, and knelt in front of the spiritual seat again.
He didn't expect that after he entered Beijing, the first person to come was not his cousin, nor Zhang Fu and other generals, nor cabinet Sanyang and other ministers, but that person......
But thinking about it, in order to keep himself from soldiering, that person has made enough efforts, and it can be said that the entire court has not done as much as this person.
Moreover, in the entire court, I am afraid that only this person is sincere for ......
……
Although Zhu Zhan Yan did not enter the Shuntian Emperor City, the news still spread, after all, there were more than 40,000 people, not 100 people, and they couldn't come quietly.
Not to mention that he also entered Changling.
Zhu Zhanyan's sensitive identity, the precarious situation, and the murderous more than 40,000 people, the entire Shuntian Imperial City was panicked, and some people had even begun to pack up their things and prepare to flee from this place where the Son of Heaven was.
What once made everyone's eyes hot is now like a hell in dire straits.
Suncheon Imperial Fortress ...... No, it should be said how many permanent troops are there in Suncheonfu?
The answer is that there are about 160,000 of them, and like the original Ying Imperial Castle, the current Shuntian Imperial City continues the regulations of Ying Imperial Castle, and the permanent army is only three battalions.
Among them, the 3,000 battalion and the Shenji battalion are the least, and the two together are only more than 10,000 people, and the largest is the five military battalions, with as many as 150,000.
But!
Previously, King Zhao rebelled, Zhang Fu led 3,000 battalions and Shenji battalions, plus Daning and Kaiping two guards each sent 20,000 troops to assist in order to quell the rebellion of King Zhao.
After Zhu Gaosui subdued the law and was taken to Shuntianfu, the 3,000 battalions and the Shenji battalion led by Zhang Fu also returned.
However, at the same time as Zhang Fu, Liu Sheng also set off, and he took the five military camps south to the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, and has not returned yet.
Not all of the five military camps were taken away, but nearly half of them were taken away.
In other words, there are about 80,000 people in the 3,000 Battalion, the Shenji Battalion and the 5th Army Battalion in Beijing today.
Looks like a lot, right? But in reality, this is not the case.
The people of the 3,000 battalions could not be trusted, and even if they were loyal, the people who made the decision and gave the order would not believe them, because the 3,000 battalions were led by Zhu Gaoxu, the former king of Han and now the king of Wu.
In the ninth year of Yongle, before King Wu became a vassal, the 3,000 battalions have been under the jurisdiction of Zhu Gaoxu, although now Zhu Gaochu has been in the domain for more than ten years, but it is undeniable that the 3,000 battalions under the leadership of Zhu Gaoxu, who was still the king of Han, lived a much stronger life than now.
Zhu Gaoxu was a very greedy person in the past, and it can be seen from his golden beans that he is greedy for money, but where does his money come from?
The answer is war.
After winning the battle, no matter which general it was, most of them would allow the soldiers to enter the city and put some of the captured in their pockets, and Zhu Gaoxu did the same.
Even, he, a general, took more than ordinary people, and in the same way, the soldiers under his command naturally took more.
Such a battalion of 3,000 people, no matter who comes in exchange, will not dare to be gullible.
Except for the three thousand battalions, the Shenji battalion can't be believed.
It's not that the Shenji Battalion has no credibility, but when they ask them to point their guns at Zhu Zhanyan, they are not credible.
If you want to ask which of the three camps has the most benefits of eating the Han King's lineage, there is no doubt that it is three thousand battalions, but the Shenji battalion is not bad, at least it is the second.
At the beginning, when Zhu Zhanqi went east to conquer the Japanese country, Liu Sheng took all the members of the Shenji Battalion to help, and in the battle of Heianjing, the Shenji Battalion made a lot of effort and gained a lot of benefits.
This is why Liu Sheng will be sent to the Liangguang area to suppress the bandits in advance, instead of staying in Beijing to prevent accidents.
Because someone doesn't trust him.
In addition to the 3,000 battalions and the Shenji battalion, there are still more than 70,000 people in the remaining five military battalions, and now it is 70,000 against less than 40,000 people, which is an advantage, but what about in the future?
Let's not talk about the people led by Danba Wangdui, let's just say that now, the surroundings of Shuntianfu are not quiet.
But at this time, let everyone not expect it.
Emperor Xuande, out of the palace!
As for the destination...... It's Changling!
