Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 366 The Art of Disintegration
"My lord, what route are you planning to take?"

Yuan Zonggao was very curious.

According to his thinking, the emperor's status is noble, although this time he will enter Beijing in a low-key manner, at least he will be driven in a carriage and sedan chair.

"The route with the least amount of time!"

Qin Shao said directly, and then spread out the map on the table for several people to check.

Why did Zhu Houcong spend a lot of energy to defeat Yang Tinghe with great gifts?

The reason for this is the important 37 days!
That is, during the 37 days from Zhu Houzhao's time to Zhu Houcong's entry to Beijing, Yang Tinghe took over the power alone, not only gradually disbanded the frontier army, but also defeated many dissidents.

The 37-day power experience has made Yang Tinghe's desire for power inflated, and he never wants to let go of his power!
What Qin Shao has to consider now is to enter Beijing as soon as possible in the shortest possible time.

When choosing a route, it is necessary to choose the best route that can shorten the time.

"First go north by boat on the Han River to Xiangyang, then ride a horse from Xiangyang to Xianghe, Hebei Province, and start from Xianghe to Tongzhou!"

Qin Shao pointed to the map and said.

When talking about Tongzhou, Qin Shao glanced at Wang Yin and Zhu Chen, and they nodded in understanding.

Qin Shao discussed this route with Wang Yin and Zhu Chen for a few days before, and came up with the most time-saving route, but this route has not been seen by Yuan Zonggao.

Although the riding speed on the dry road is not bad, the horses have limited stamina after all, they need to replenish water and fodder, and they need to change horses to let the horses rest for a while, all of which will take time.

The waterway is not the case, as long as there are people who take turns to sail the boat, nothing will be affected along the way, and you can eat, drink, relax, and rest without stopping.

Except for the upstream section of the Han River, the waterways are all downstream, and the speed is much faster than riding a horse.

"My lord... your majesty, this route is fine, it saves time and doesn't hurt your body, but it may require running back and forth, and it may be hard for you!"

Yuan Zonggao is also in favor of this route plan.

But think about it, their emperor had been riding back and forth to Anluzhou, the capital city, and there were many boat rides, so traveling was no problem for him.

And the capital doesn't know what the situation is like now, so go to Beijing early to avoid long nights and dreams!

"Your Majesty, the mansion needs to arrange followers. I have selected them before. Zhu Chen is in charge of the guards. Doctors Ji Shan and Zeng Shen are both disciples of Doctor Zhou. They have learned his true teachings. Let them both follow; Zhang Zuo and Zhang Fengzheng are in charge of the internal officials, and 10 people have been selected; 8 people have also been selected for the dining hall, who will be responsible for the emperor's food."

Yuan Zonggao reported one by one.

"Lu Song and I are in charge of the guard team. We have selected 100 strong guards to follow. When the time comes, I will lead two small teams to follow the emperor's ships and horses, and Lu Song will be in charge of the weekly survey."

Zhu Chen replied.

"Has there been any arrangements for the ship?"

Qin Shao thought for a while and asked again.

"It was arranged five days ago. Fang Zhizhou asked Lu Tongsan to inspect the river, and specially requisitioned some large boats, saying that they were cleaning up the sediment. The inspection and sorting of the boats have been completed, and then we can directly requisition them. Are there any boats left?" With less money to spare, when the time comes, the concubine can also use this route to bring the little princes to Beijing!"

Yuan Zonggao replied again.

……

Day two.

Yuan Zonggao approached Gu Dayong to discuss the departure.

He has already seen that Xu Guangzuo and that son-in-law are just slick and slippery people, and it is the internal official Gu Dayong who is more agile and decisive.

It's embarrassing that two people with roots are as sharp as the one without roots!

"Captain, you said that you want to leave as soon as possible, and I understand it very well. I discussed with the emperor yesterday. There are two departure dates to choose from. One is to leave early tomorrow morning; the other is three days later! The emperor wants three days later, because The day after tomorrow is the day for the priests in Anlu Prefecture, and the emperor wants to pay homage to the old King Xing, but I heard you said that I wanted to leave urgently, so I came here to talk about the situation, and if I leave tomorrow, I am afraid I have to persuade the emperor."

Yuan Zonggao seemed to be very embarrassed to say.

"Yuan Changshi, three days later, this time is a little too slow. You also know that the first emperor died in secret and did not announce it. You are worried that the emperor will not come to the capital, and there may be changes! I still suggest to leave early tomorrow morning!"

To be honest, Gu Dayong was a little anxious. This errand is a good thing, but it also bears a lot of risks.

Although he also saw the new monarch these two days, his impression was really not deep, it was cold.

Before coming, Gu Dayong had actually imagined the reaction and situation of the new emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Houzhao passed away suddenly, Gu Dayong's position as the former emperor's favored minister is a little embarrassing now.

But he is different from Liu Jin and Jiang Bin. When he does things, he always stays on the front line and does not target people. He can still be a candidate to welcome the new king. At least for now, it seems that others are not so bad at least.

Of course, he also has a lot of insiders of his own.

When he came, he had already investigated the situation of the new king.

I was not favored before, and I was addicted to cultivating immortals and discussing Taoism. My mind seems to be a little...

Gu Dayong was just a little skeptical. When he saw the real person, he felt much better than those people guessed.

After all, this throne can be said to be picked up for nothing. According to common sense, many people are not excited to go crazy, at least it is normal to cry with joy.

This person's reaction was mediocre, as if he had received a general court award.

Gu Dayong's feeling at the time was that the new monarch was either extremely rich, or a maverick!
Yes, the clan of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many other things, but there are many wonderful flowers!
Zhu Di himself is a wonderful work, so it is not surprising that his descendants are different!
Therefore, the new king was indifferent before, but now he wanted to leave early. Even though Gu Dayong was surprised, he still accepted it.

For him, there is nothing more important than getting on the road quickly and completing errands as soon as possible.

Gu Dayong found Xu Guangzuo and Cui Yuan to discuss this matter.

"It's best to leave early for Shangjing. It's only tomorrow. Shangshu Mao and Uncle Guo haven't arrived yet. We're leaving now? Will it be..."

Cui Yuan wanted to say that he was in too much haste. He also thought that the new king would get some Joe, show off, and delay his departure for a day, and it happened that Mao Cheng and the others also arrived.

"It's best to leave early tomorrow morning. The country cannot be left without a master for a day. Now the court officials are in a state of anxiety. The news of the emperor's death has not been announced. Only the Lord of the capital and us know about it. There are many twists and turns, long nights and many dreams, so we can get on the road as soon as possible!"

Xu Guangzuo understood a little bit.

Although he also wanted to make friends with Mr. Mao, the Ministry of Rites, but the old boy was in poor health and kept nagging. This kind of etiquette and that kind of etiquette are really unbearable!

Fortunately, they took the first step, and the reception ceremony for King Xing's ascension to the emperor was simply held. If Mao Cheng was there, he probably wouldn't be able to finish the tossing all morning, and I'm afraid he would just beep beep beep there!
Gu Dayong and Xu Guangzuo were two to one. No, Cui Yuan actually abstained. He always decided to go on the road after breakfast.

They found Yuan Zonggao and persuaded Yuan Zonggao to make accommodations with the emperor quickly and set off early tomorrow morning.

Yuan Zonggao looked very embarrassed and said that he would discuss it by himself.

After dragging for nearly two hours, they were getting impatient waiting outside, and Yuan Zonggao trotted out, saying that the emperor agreed!
Several people let out a long sigh of relief, with joy on their faces.

As for Yuan Zonggao's general route later, they got a general understanding and knew the route. They heard that they could rest, so they agreed directly.

When Yuan Zonggao said that they were ready to requisition the ships, Gu Dayong and Xu Guangzuo were a little surprised that they were so fast, and then the direction also came over. After talking about the situation, and Anlu Prefecture has relatively convenient waterways, it is not surprising that there are large ships that can be requisitioned !
The three people were even more satisfied after hearing this, but they didn't expect that there were two other people outside the city of Anluzhou: Mao Shangshu and Uncle Guo.

……

On the second day, outside the city of Anlu Prefecture.

The Minister of Rites, Mao Cheng, was asking his servants to help knead his body that was about to fall apart.

I fell asleep last night, and finally recovered.

"Mao Shangshu! Mao Shangshu!"

Mao Cheng was about to have someone press the other shoulder again when there was a hasty knock on the door.
