Chapter 97 The Emperor Travels (please subscribe)

Early the next morning, Zhu Youxiao got up early. First he had a full meal and then began to change clothes and wash himself under the service of the serving maid.

Today, when we set off from the Forbidden City to the school grounds in the south of the city, many soldiers and civilians from the capital will naturally kneel down and worship along the way. This is also a rare opportunity for Colonel Zhu You to see these subjects, so he will not be lazy and neglectful, and must be dressed up to attend.

After waiting for the installation to be completed, Zhu Youxiao also took a break and read the memorial in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace while waiting for the departure at Sishi (9-10 o'clock).

Reading the memorial, time passed quickly. After a while, He Ning came in to deliver a message, saying that Wei Zhongxian was outside asking for a meeting. Zhu Youxiao thought that the interrogation had a result, so he greeted him and asked him to come in for questioning.

"Slaves see Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian walked in under the leadership of He Ning, holding a question book in his hand. When he saw Zhu Youxiao, he knelt down to say hello.

"Get up and come here now. Has the matter arranged yesterday come to fruition?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian raised the question book in his hand above his head, handed it to Zhu Youxiao, and said:

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I interrogated you all night yesterday, and they got it right. They revealed all the things about taking money, taking bribes and perverting the law. According to the law, all of them deserve to die."

Zhu Youxiao was dissatisfied when he heard this. There was only this evidence.

"Who instigated them behind that?"

"There is no definite evidence yet for these slaves, but they all say that they were instigated by General Hao Tianfu of the Shenji Battalion. Hao Tianfu often drank and had fun with them on weekdays.

After Taining Hou began to reorganize the capital camp, one day suddenly this man invited these soldiers over. He repeatedly scolded Taining Hou and encouraged them to make trouble. He also assured them that even if something happened, there was no need to be afraid. Someone would be there. Protect them and they will be fine. "

Sure enough, there is a big fish behind him, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think.

"That's all? No more?"

Wei Zhongxian was a little embarrassed, and time was tight, so he could only come up with these results. However, he discussed with Luo Sigong yesterday, and Luo Sigong's words gave him an idea. After learning that it was Hao Tianfu who instigated him, he also investigated this person's information. some situations.

"Long live, yesterday Luo Sigong told the slaves that Governor Taining Hou has been in the capital camp for a long time. Now he is reforming the capital camp according to His Majesty's decree. Logically speaking, under the power of God, how can anyone dare to oppose and obstruct it?

But now that such a situation occurred, he suspected that the person behind it might not pay attention to Marquis Taining on weekdays, so he was not afraid of this matter at all.

After I saw the confession yesterday, I investigated Hao Tianfu and others overnight. According to my investigation, I found that he had been in and out of Duke Chengguo's residence in the past few days. "

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian was speechless. Cheng Guogong's lineage has become famous since Chengzu was canonized. He didn't know whether Zhu Youxiao was afraid of making things worse. If he made trouble out of his words and was labeled as such, he would be criticized by Zhu Youxiao. If the school is no longer afraid of alienation, then the gains outweigh the losses.

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he knew very clearly that even if the person behind it was not Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, he still had a lot to do with him.

"Then continue the investigation. Arrest Hao Tianfu first and interrogate him immediately when he comes back. Remember, no matter how high the title is or how high the salary is, I only want results!"

With Zhu Youxiao's reassurance, Wei Zhongxian felt confident and thought to himself that Duke Cheng Guo might be in trouble.

"My servant understands. Let's go and do it now. I will report to you as soon as I have any news."

He knew that the emperor was going to the school grounds later, and Hao Tianfu's testimony might not be of much use by then, so he did not dare to neglect for a moment and hurriedly left to attend to his duties.

Zhu Youxiao was confident that Wei Zhongxian was doing things. Based on the previous attitude of Duke Cheng, he probably guessed that the person behind the scenes was Zhu Chunchen.

He was really looking for death. He had given him a chance and he didn't know how to cherish it, so he shouldn't blame himself anymore.

At the end of the day, Zhang Chang came to report that everything was ready and he could leave the palace.Zhu Youxiao got up from his bed, tidied his clothes, then left the palace, got on the Dragon Boat Festival, and walked towards the Huangji Gate.

When the dragon arrived at the Huangji Gate, a large sedan carried by 32 people stopped in the square. The escorts including Teng Xiang and Wu Xiang, as well as the eunuchs and entourage in the palace, lined up into a rectangular procession, carrying the sedan. The guard is in it.

Huang Degong and others were also standing close to the sedan in their four-guard uniforms, guarding the left and right sides.The British Duke, Cheng Guogong, Ding Guogong and other dignitaries also stood in line behind the sedan and waited in line. Since it was a review at the Beijing camp and they had to take a test for martial arts, the nobles also had to accompany them, so they did not bring any civil servants with them.

Seeing the emperor coming, the etiquette officer came to report that all the officials had been assembled and could go out until the emperor got into the sedan chair.

Zhu Youxiao just listened to their process arrangements now. After getting off the Dragon Boat Festival, he got on the sedan chair. The Han general cleared the way and drove out from the Huangji Gate.

But as soon as the team left the Huangji Gate, they ran into trouble.

Zhu Youxiao saw that the troops had stopped just after setting off. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw He Ning running over from the front and said to him breathlessly:
"Long live the Lord, there are four Yanguan censors kneeling in front of the road, holding question books in their hands, saying that they will die for remonstrance." Zhu Youxiao was speechless for a while. This Yanguan was addicted to fighting against the emperor. What? They all go against the emperor, and even if they leave the palace, they will always give advice. They just hope that the emperor will not go anywhere like the living Bodhisattva. It is best for civil servants to handle all matters!
Wu Zong is still so powerful. He directly fights with his staff and fights him to the end. He can't help but express his feelings in his heart.But after all, he was not a martial artist, and he didn't want to ruin his reputation, so he gave He Ning instructions:
"Don't worry about them, go and tell them that I'm just going to inspect the capital camp, not to fight. I'm leaving today and coming back today.

If you don't listen to the good advice, just send the Jin Yiwei to hold them aside, hold them down, don't let them stop me, and then send them to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but remember to be nice and don't hurt them. "

"According to the order, I will take care of it now."

After a while, the whole team set off again, but when passing by these people, Zhu Youxiao heard a faint shout in his ears.

"Your Majesty, the war is dangerous. You have just ascended the throne, so you must not abandon the country, Your Majesty."

"There are good ministers in the court. To rectify the capital camp, just rely on the talents and ministers. Now that the capital camp is in turmoil, why should your majesty put himself in danger?"

"Let me go, let me go, I will fight you to death!"

······
Zhu Youxiao's scalp was really numb after hearing this. Some people thought that these people were making a fuss out of a molehill, and others thought that Zhu Youxiao had done something unethical and treasonous.

The main reason is that Zhu Youxiao can't do anything with them yet. Some of these officials are here to make suggestions and persuade the emperor, while some are just to gain their reputation as a loyal minister!

Because the public opinion environment in the Ming Dynasty was very relaxed, it was common for officials to criticize the emperor. Many emperors in the late Ming Dynasty had relatively weak characters and always let it go.

As a result, Qingliu in the Ming Dynasty always loved "deceiving the court staff" and "selling direct invitations to fame", which shows that speaking out and scolding leaders is an act that rewards more than it pays.

Therefore, Principal Zhu You couldn't do what they wanted, so it didn't matter if he scolded them, just let them scold him. If he didn't beat them or scold them, he wouldn't let them succeed!Do your own thing, let him be strong if he is strong, let him be strong if the breeze blows on the hills, let him be his own, and the bright moon shines on the river.

But there is no way to go on like this. They are really too idle. They are buzzing like mosquitoes all day long. We need to find something for them to plug their mouths, Zhu Youxiao thought in his mind.

Without the obstruction, the road became much smoother.Because the emperor has not been on tour for a long time, the residents of the capital may have never seen what the emperor looks like in their lives. Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally want to see the holy face.

The procession passed through the street in a mighty manner, and all traffic operations were paused. The ban would only be lifted after the emperor passed.

At the front of the troops, there were dedicated personnel sprinkling water to clean the streets, and then a tall Han general raised a flag to clear the way. The emperor usually took the "road clearing" measure when traveling, that is, requiring all shops to close and pedestrians to stay away. But this time something unexpected happened. It is also exempted from execution.

This time, Zhu Youxiao specially asked people to pull open the curtains on both sides of the sedan, which also gave him the opportunity to see the people of Gyeonggi.This is also the emperor's great grace, allowing ordinary people to have the opportunity to see the beauty of the sky.

Huang Dong, Lu Xiangsheng and others naturally would not miss this opportunity and knelt on both sides waiting for the emperor's team to pass.

Waiting for the Han general to pass by, followed by four guards on horseback to guard, finally saw the emperor sitting in a sedan carried by 32 people, accompanied by eunuchs, waiting to be summoned at any time.

Seeing the emperor coming, everyone shouted long live, and then secretly raised their heads to see the dragon's face.In the eyes of everyone, the emperor was a good-looking young man with a round face, short beard, piercing eyes, and a slightly thin figure, but with a heroic spirit.

Everyone looked at Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao was also sitting upright at this time, and he was also quietly looking at his subjects.Perhaps it was his first tour that gave him a sudden sense of satisfaction with power and status that he had when he first took the throne.

But this was only temporary. Once the novelty wore off, I felt it was meaningless. I continued to sit upright and started thinking about other things.

After the emperor's team passed by, more people gathered on the street, talking in twos and threes.

"It's really a great experience. I was able to meet the real dragon emperor. I also got a touch of dragon energy today."

Huang Dong met the emperor today, and he was naturally overjoyed and told Lu Xiangsheng excitedly.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled when he heard this. He had a very good impression of Zhu Youxiao. Although he seemed to be a young man, he was also full of heroism. He really deserved to be a real dragon emperor.

"Yes, you have to thank the emperor. If it hadn't been for him to decide to sell newspapers to outsiders and have to take the exam for high status, you wouldn't be able to make so much money."

Huang Dong heard this and touched his head with a smile.

"What Brother Lu is saying is that it seems that His Majesty is really discerning and these measures are really good!"

Lu Xiangsheng laughed secretly in his heart. If he could make money from this, of course he agreed.But he didn't say much, but he secretly made up his mind to review more quickly. Enke must go to high school next year.

On the other side, the school ground in the southern suburbs of the capital was not far from the capital. Zhu Youxiao's team left the capital all the way and arrived not long after.
