[Easter egg at the end of the chapter, Luoyang, the god capital in the current worldview! ] 】

In order to flatter the prince, the people in Jiangbei officialdom racked their brains and thought of various ways to entertain the prince.

Even Zhu Jinghong was invited to participate in several of them, and while guarding Zhu Jingyuan's wine, he also saw how much the upper-class elites played.

Although it is said elegantly on the surface, it is actually a matter of wind and snow, and the prince's participation in it is really not good in Zhu Jinghong's opinion.

It stands to reason that Gao Shuyan should be admonished, but he didn't see him work this time.

This is actually Zhu Jinghong's one-sidedness, just because everyone in the prince's mansion thinks that this is a rare opportunity to make friends with foreign officials.

Although it is taboo to make friends with foreign officials, seeing King Rui everywhere to give grace and pull relations, how can everyone in the prince's mansion not be anxious.

So this time, there is an objective need to pay tribute to the ancestral tomb, coupled with the hospitality of local officials, and everyone in the prince's mansion is half-pushed, and the two are mixed together.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Zhu Jinghong runs to the military camp from time to time and mingles with the Dragon Guards, which is even more taboo than the two brothers who formed a gang.

stayed in Fengyang for six days before setting off under Zhu Jingyuan's order.

The officials in Jiangbei sent him out of a hundred miles before he left reluctantly.

Departing from Fengyang to the northwest, they arrived in Xuzhou five days later, and it took another seven days to reach Kaifeng.

The team rested in Kaifeng for two days, then continued westward, and arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass for another three days.

After passing through the Tiger Prison Pass, you entered the so-called Gyeonggi Heavy Land, that is, the boundary of the divine capital Suncheonfu.

…………

Orthodox 10 years, August 28.

The team of the prince returning to Beijing is only less than twenty miles away from Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and it will definitely arrive before noon.

Perhaps because of his hometown timidity, Zhu Jingyuan was extremely uneasy at the moment, so he called Zhu Jinghong into the carriage.

"Thirteenth brother, you said that I went to Jinling this time, how did I do on my errand?"

In the carriage, Zhu Jingyuan was sitting in danger and asked this nonsense again.

"I said the fourth brother, the fourth master...... It's all here, what are you worried about? ”

Zhu Jinghong analyzed: "The suppression of the widows has also been suppressed, and it has not cost extra money and food, even if the old man is strict, he is afraid that he will not be able to find something to say!" ”

"But in the middle, after all, something went wrong, and it almost fell short!" Zhu Jingyuan became more and more worried.

went to Jinling, under the guidance of Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Jingyuan let go of himself for a while, and now he is a little uncomfortable returning to Beijing.

"The old man hasn't gone wrong in his life? How do you say that...... If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing! ”

"Having said that, I'm always a little restless!" Zhu Jingyuan's face was full of sadness.

"You...... It's all the fuss, it's okay! ”

couldn't think of better words to comfort, so Zhu Jinghong could only say so.

Soon the team came to the outskirts of Luoyang, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were already waiting here.

After some ceremonies, the team set off north again, and not long after the Luoyang city wall appeared.

Zhu Jinghong, who had persuaded the prince to rest assured just now, was somehow worried at the moment, and this feeling of palpitations came without warning.

Inside the carriage, Yinglian was the first to notice that something was wrong, so she asked, "Thirteenth Master, what's wrong with you?" Is it sick? ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay! ”

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong picked up the teacup again and drank it all in one go.

Yinglian had to fill him up again, but she was more and more puzzled in her heart, just because Zhu Jinghong had already drunk two pots of tea.

"Anyway, this errand in Jinling, I will do it properly, even if it is useless, at least there is no fault, the old man should not trouble me!"

Zhu Jinghong secretly persuaded himself that intellectually he felt that what he was thinking was right, but he couldn't adjust his mentality.

Soon the convoy came to the door, and at this time, the Xue family sent someone to worship, first expressing their gratitude to Zhu Jinghong, and then informing him that he was going to part ways.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong was very flustered, and if he had the heart to pay attention to these things, he would deal with them by the Xue family.

In Luoyang City, Yongding Heavenly Street, which leads directly to the imperial city, has been put under martial law by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

On the wide avenue, there was no one except the soldiers standing sentry, and Zhu Jingyuan's convoy could move unimpeded.

When they arrived in the capital, the Beijing camp guard mission was over, and Yang Renzhong and Qiu Hong took their subordinates and rushed to the station.

When Zhu Jinghong and his entourage went to the imperial city, Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion also took a house slave and picked up the waiting Xue family.

In fact, Jia Lian came out yesterday, but unfortunately the Xue family was in the camp, so he didn't dare to approach at all, so he could only follow all the way.

When the Xue family broke away from the team, the cautious Jia Lian led people to meet them.

Outside Aunt Xue's carriage, Jia Lian saluted respectfully: "Let Aunt wait for a long time!" ”

"I'm sorry you're coming to pick us up!"

"Mrs. Aunt doesn't have to be polite, when I came, my wife told me to introduce Mrs. Aunt into the house as soon as possible, so as to reunite after a long absence!"

"yes...... I haven't seen you in more than ten years! Aunt Xue couldn't help but sigh.

"Auntie, let's set off then!" Jia Lian said with a smile.

"Now that the city is under martial law, I'm afraid it's difficult to pass!"

Jia Lian replied: "Don't worry, Mrs. Auntie, let's go east and enter from Zuo'anmen, and then enter Dongzhimen through Dongbianmen, this road is feasible!" ”

Only the roads near Yongding Tianjie have been cleared by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and other places can still be passed normally.

"That's good!"

…………

When the Xue family made a detour to Rongguo Mansion, Zhu Jinghong and his party had already arrived at Zhengyangmen.

Further inside is the inner city of the capital, that is, where the princes and nobles lived, and it is extremely close to the imperial city.

"Thirteenth Master, it's hot today...... Why do you drink so much water, or do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? Yinglian couldn't help but speak.

"It's okay, I'm okay!"

While speaking, fine sweat broke out on Zhu Jinghong's forehead, and he asked him to take off the Yishan crown, and he also wanted to take off his robe to dissipate heat.

This is too fucking exaggerated, how afraid of his father was in the past...... Zhu Jinghong cursed secretly.

After a while, I only heard Deng An report outside: "Thirteenth Master, I'm going to enter the Daming Gate!" ”

Entering the Daming Gate is to enter the boundary of the imperial city, and the imperial palace is already close at hand.

Inside the carriage, Yinglian carefully lifted the curtain and looked at the most mysterious place in the world.

The red palace walls, the golden glazed tiles, and the solemn guards along the way all make people feel awe, and they only feel as small as dust.

Continuing along the palace road, the sergeants of the Bannerman Guard have also withdrawn, leaving only the Dragon Guard guards to continue to protect them.

Between the outer city of the capital and the imperial city, its defense is responsible for the command of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and these soldiers are selected from the 72 guards of the Beijing camp, but they do not belong to the establishment of the Beijing camp.

The area between the Imperial City and the Forbidden City was in charge of the Imperial City Yiwei Command Envoy, and this army was drawn from the Twenty Guards of Shangzhi.

It can be said that from the outer city to the inner city to the imperial city, the defense is arranged in great detail, and it is extremely difficult to solve problems.

Through the Daming Gate is the Chengtian Gate, and then the end gate and the noon gate, and the noon gate is really entered the palace.

When they arrived here, the two Zhu Jinghong brothers also had to get out of the car and rush to the Qianqing Palace on foot to meet them.

Inside the noon gate, outside the Jinshui Bridge, the celebrant was in charge of Yin Lu Tong, and two Bingbi were waiting.

Zhu Jinghong got out of the carriage first, and the closer he got to the palace, the more nervous he became, but at least he was better than Zhu Jingyuan.

Together with Gao Shuyan, he got out of the car with Zhu Jingyuan in his arms, and Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, I'll go to see my mother first, and I won't accompany you!" ”

Zhu Jingyuan was stunned, only to hear Lu Tong's voice not far away: "Thirteenth master, the lord said, let you see the driver together!" ”
