Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 333
Because of the construction of the straight road, the days from the capital to Fengyang were much shorter. The officials along the way knew that it was Emperor Zhu who returned to Fengyang, so they cleaned up the road and the people along the way.

Looking at the black and gray straight road, Lao Zhu lowered the curtains and said to Empress Ma: "The straight road is still repaired like that."

"Hush." ​​Empress Ma patted the sleeping child, "Don't make your voice too loud. It's not good to startle the child."

Originally, the child should have followed Chang Meirong and the wet nurse in the carriage at the back, but old Zhu Fei asked Empress Ma to carry the child to be with them.

The carriage creaked and shook because of the soft and thick bedding.It is also very comfortable to sit on.

There are occasional carriages passing by on the straight road, but it looks deserted and quiet. Passing by other prefectures, you can see the Daming Post Office, because the color is very eye-catching.

The officials in the Huangming Guard Hall looked like they were all retired soldiers, but in fact many of them were Jin Yiwei who had been trained to keep their identities secret.Monitor the situation in counties and townships.

Nearby are the newly built Preschool Academy and Middle School Academy, both of which have been painted, and there are plaques hanging from various places, some of which say Liu Youcai Preschool Academy.

Lao Zhu was not surprised when he saw it. Whoever donated the money, the imperial court rewarded him for putting his name in front of it.

After entering Fengyang City, the city had already been swept and swept, and the clean water was poured on the road. Because of the actions of officials from all over the city, the city still seemed quiet.

The common people sat silently in their own yards, and some sneaked out from the windows to see that the emperor's car passed by, and the common people near the street could hear the sound of neat and powerful footsteps and the sound of horseshoes hitting the straight road.

Dissatisfied, Lao Zhu called the newly appointed Fengyang magistrate over, and called Li Shanchang to his carriage:
"What's the matter with you, are we the God of Plague or the Emperor? Drive the people back home, let's ask and see what, let them live as usual and do New Year's goods."

Li Shanchang smiled obediently, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the civil uprising took place not long ago, and I was afraid that there would be disturbances from the disaster victims. For the safety of your majesty and the little emperor..."

Emperor Zhu fought in the south and the north, from herding cowboys to traveling as a monk, and then following the rebel army to fight the world. His courage and stature are really not covered.

"You have been with us for many years. There are a few people who can get close to us, but our fists and legs are still hard." Lao Zhu said and waved his hand: "Let the Fengyang officials not be busy, we just come back to see us Parents, brothers, just prepare a few rooms to rest."

The common people will definitely spend a lot of time to welcome the officials and emperors, which will increase their burden.Lao Zhu knew this very well, so he resolutely stopped it.

His Majesty ordered so, but the officials would definitely not do so. The few simple rooms that Lao Zhu talked about, when he lived in, he found that they had been deliberately arranged.

He was about to get angry at first, but Empress Ma knew the reason and stopped him: "Chongba, we can make do with it, but the children can't stand the cold weather. Especially the princess, after suffering from the wind and cold, she will have children in the future." influential."

"I see, you ask Zhu Xi to arrange tomorrow's ancestor worship, and we have to have a good talk with our parents."

"Okay, I'll talk." Queen Ma closed the door and walked out.

Outside the door was Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu's personal soldiers, guarding against death, not even a fly flew in.

In the evening, Emperor Zhu personally received the elderly Liu Jizu, and the two chatted a lot.

Lao Zhu still left Liu Jizu to sleep with him in the same bed in the room.

"Brother Liu, it's almost the twelfth lunar month. Are all the things at home ready? Just tell us if you need anything. How are the children at home?"

"Thank you for your majesty's grace. It's okay for Dawei to be the county magistrate. I'm now called brother and brother with the emperor. I don't know how many people will envy me."

Old Zhu shook his head, back then he begged Liu De to give him a piece of wasteland to bury his parents, who knew that Liu De refused, but later Liu Jizu showed kindness, burying his parents is a great kindness, Zhu Chongba will never forget it.

"We have already said, Brother Liu, you can just call me Chong Ba, why don't you come back to the palace with us for a few days this time, ah." Lao Zhu looked at Liu Jizu who was sitting by the bed and said: "Let's take you Watch a show and go to the capital."

"Heavy eight?" Liu Jizu called out tentatively.

"Hey." Emperor Zhu agreed with a smile.

"Heavy eight!" Liu Jizu called with a smile.

"Hey! Hahaha."

Waking up the next day, Lao Zhu changed his clothes and went with Liu Jizu to the ancestral mausoleum of Lao Zhu's family. The officials guarding the mausoleum had already prepared things for sacrifices, and they were just waiting to start inheriting the ancestors.

This year, Emperor Zhu and his wife specially brought their little grandson together to report to their ancestors, and they also came back to visit their neighbors. After all, because of the construction of the Central Capital, officials took bribes and aroused civil uprisings.

After the sacrifice was over, the common people were very happy to see Emperor Zhu. They crowded in bustling crowds, but they were stopped by the Beijing army with blue jade bands, and they surrounded Lao Zhu all the time.

Lao Zhu was very happy and waved to the people.

Chang Meirong walked with Empress Ma with the child in her arms, the two were talking and laughing, chatting with each other.

The Beijing army cleared the way, and ordinary people watched Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma from a distance, and some even knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to the old Zhu and his wife.

All the way was safe and sound. When we reached the corner down the mountain, the people who had just been stopped and quieted somewhere were crowded around, and the crowd was a little scattered.

Out of the corner of Lao Zhu's eyes, he noticed that side, and he thought it was the common people. Suddenly, someone squeezed in from the gap, as if he wanted to stand in the front.

Chang Meirong and Empress Ma held the child and followed Lao Zhu.

In just a split second, that figure suddenly emerged from the gap, stabbing at Old Zhu with a gleaming dagger.

Chang Yuchun reacted very quickly, but still not as fast as Lao Zhu, and kicked the man's right wrist. When he staggered back, Lao Zhu kicked him on the back again.

"Take it!"

Sapphire's spear was already at the man's throat, and with a little force, it could kill him with one shot.

The crowd suddenly rioted, Chang Yuchun commanded the soldiers methodically, and quickly took Lao Zhu and Queen Ma away from there.

Calm again soon.

Although the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, the child was still frightened. Lao Zhu didn't bother to inspect Fengyang now, and took everyone back to Fengyang's mansion.

In the clear sky and broad daylight, the surroundings of Fengyang Mansion were tightly guarded by the Beijing army, and the maids and servants who entered and exited were strictly interrogated, not letting any danger go inside.

The prefect of Fengyang, who had just taken office, was already terrified at the moment, knelt down in front of Lao Zhu and kowtowed fiercely, "It's the minister's ineffective governance, please punish him."

Old Zhu ignored him, and directly said to Chang Yuchun: "How about the child, more people should be sent to the empress and princess."

"Your Majesty, manpower has been arranged. The criminal has been detained and can be interrogated at any time."

"Bring it here, we'll interrogate in person." Old Zhu's face was livid.

Soon, Chang Yuchun led the assassin in and pushed him to the ground: "Go back to Your Majesty, the rebels brought us here."

　Ask for collection.
