eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 600 Leisure in the palace

The so-called Taiyuan Town or Shanxi Town was originally called Sanguan Town. It was also stationed at a pass - Pianguan Pass, which was not really in Taiyuan.

Sanguan, Datong, and Xuanfu are the middle sections of the thousands-kilometer defense line to the north of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the "Central Three Borders."

Especially in Datong, the northern mountainous area is relatively gentle, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but it has to be defended. If Datong is not defended, Taiyuan will be dangerous. If Taiyuan is lost, the hinterland of the Central Plains will be opened to nomads.

Since it is not easy to defend, we can only garrison heavy troops. During the Hongwu period, there were 13 soldiers and horses here, and then it decreased slightly. In the Hongzhi period, the frontier troubles aggravated, and Datong stationed more than 10 troops, with 17 guards under its jurisdiction.

These include Pingluwei and Weiyuanwei in the west, Yulinwei and Datong Youwei in the northwest, Yanghewei, Gaoshanwei in the northeast, and various thousands of households.

There are also more than forty military castles of different sizes.

It's a real military zone.

In this kind of place, the army is the people, the people are the army, and the general soldier controls everyone's life and death.In addition to military villages, there are also civilian villages and merchant villages. Of course, merchant villages have declined due to the salt incident. In short, they can be summed up in one word: chaos.

Now the imperial court issued an order to find out all the bad things here and explain clearly, which guardhouse is this piece of land, and which guardhouse is that piece of land, how can this be so easy?

These fields were basically eaten by generals and officers of all sizes in the 17 guards.

Shi Feng, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, controlled the situation by relying on a series of means such as mobilization, exchange, and bans.

But you can't have a ban all the time, can you?So when he heard that the imperial court sent the Beijing camp to suppress the formation, he didn't feel that he was not trusted, especially when he saw Yang Shangyi's embarrassment in Jizhou, but he was even more fortunate.

So Feishu asked Wang Shouren to enter Datong as soon as possible.

Shi Feng could only read characters, but he couldn't write his own characters well. The clerk next to him asked him where he had difficulty reporting to Qingtun. He thought for a while and said, "Except for the surrounding areas of Datong, there are difficulties."

"This……"

"Just write it like this. If you don't write it like this, what if he goes to the west first?"

It makes fucking sense.

Zhu Feng, the deputy commander of Datong, was also there, and it was at this time, no matter how slow he was, he still felt like the rain was about to come.

"I'm still going to check it out."

All the gates of the town, as well as the treasury and palace in the city are all inspected by Zhu Feng himself.

Just worried about something going wrong.

……

……

Capital.

Zhu Houzhao felt much more comfortable after drinking too much that day, and sometimes people still need to get drunk.

In the next few days, the mood of reviewing the memorabilia was relatively calm, especially when he saw that the censor was participating in the melody.

"Things in the world are always full of fog. If you don't have a pair of eyes, sometimes it's really hard to see clearly."

You Zhi lowered his head and came over, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Speaking of these loyal ministers, I have lost 40 taels of silver this year, but I am terrified of them. I wish I could tear Mei Kejia apart."

People say that the literati have a lot of minds. There are indeed some people who open their mouths to be benevolent and moral, but shut their mouths to be moral and benevolent, but what is the real reason?

It's also interesting.

"The foreign ministers understand the emperor's difficulties, and the emperor should be happy."

Zhu Houzhao snorted and smiled, and didn't say much else, but ordered: "You're fine if you're free, I'll find you an errand to tidy up the two stacks here, put aside the ones that involve Ping Haibo, and put aside those that don't. Put it on the other side."

"The slaves obey the order."

The two seemed to be slightly faster.

It is faster overall, because You Zhi took three books and found out that two of them were about Ping Haibo.

Zhu Houzhao didn't read these memorabilia, and kept them all, and if one came, it would be like a bullshit into the sea, and they had to die in a hurry.

Only when they are anxious to a certain extent, will they support the imperial court's navy expansion plan.

In this way, today's memorial review is much faster.

It's all over before it gets dark.

"What day is it?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's been a lot of plowing today."

Big plowing, that is, the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, picked up the farmer's bag, and went to the door to ask someone to open it.

You Zhi carefully put a cloak on him from behind.

There is no rain or snow outside, only the cold wind, whistling, and there is a harsh sound when it blows.

Zhu Hou shrank his head and went outside.

This place is actually the same as the Forbidden City he saw in his previous life. Although there are slight differences in details, the whole is the same. After looking at it for so many years, even the original details are forgotten.

Leaning on the railing, you can see the contiguous palaces, red city walls, and white stone steps.

No matter how many times he watched it, he still felt a sense of history.

The strong wind made him squint his eyes, "You Zhi."

"The servant is here."

"How is Liu Jin?"

You Zhi was taken aback for a moment, wondering if it was because of this environment that the emperor actually began to miss the old man.

"According to His Majesty's will, someone has been sent to send him to Zhongdu."

Probably because he was unsteady in his heart, he asked a little more: "Your Majesty... Eunuch Liu has also been punished this time, do you want to announce him back to the palace?"

Zhu Houzhao's gaze shifted and landed on his face.

You Zhi was taken aback, and immediately knelt down, "Your majesty made a mistake, please punish me."

"Get up," the emperor moved his arms and found a more comfortable position for his hands. "It's cold on the ground. At your age, the cold wind blows your head. Don't your waist hurt and your legs hurt?"

You Zhi was so frightened that he lost his soul, his temptation just now was a bit reckless.After being comfortable for a long time, sometimes I forget that this person in front of me is actually unpredictable.

"Yes, servant, thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness."

Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to argue with him, just now his eyes were quick to go, and they were also fast to close.

"Da plowing day... I will send a decree to Yang Tinghe in a few days. It's been a year, and the area sown with sweet potatoes this year should be quite large. Tell him, I'm going to see the first piece of land."

"Yes, the servant has remembered."

Zhu Houzhao walked down the steps by himself, he is the owner of this place, strolling around to relieve the boring and monotonous, Youzhi has been following him like this.

A group of people walked slowly.

"Are there any local officials who have arrived first?"

"There are still few. In order to catch up with the Great Court Meeting, most local officials set off after the Lantern Festival, and they should all be on their way now."

"Well." Zhu Houzhao said to himself, "The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and it's okay to be close to the capital. Those who are far away will leave after the New Year, and go back after the Great Court in March. It's midsummer. After staying for less than half a year, I have to travel again. I don’t think it’s too tiring, but one year is half a year of work and half a year of travel. Last year, I felt that this was not good.

After five years of Zhengde, the Grand Court Meeting will still be held every two years, let alone next year.In addition to the long distance, some government affairs could not be done in a year.In fact, there are overlaps in the topics every year, and the discussions are still the same. "

You Zhi said: "Whatever your Majesty says is whatever it is. As long as you issue an imperial edict, it will be settled like this."

"Yeah." Zhu Houzhao smiled lightly, and then shouted to the back, "Jing Yang."

Among the ranks behind, Jing Yang moved forward quickly, "Your Majesty."

"The Wenhua Palace is just ahead. When I was the crown prince, I started classes here. Today I have time, so you can give me a lecture."

Jing Yang bent down slightly, "Your Majesty has read a lot and is very knowledgeable. I dare not talk about lectures. I can only talk about everything I know. And I don't know what Your Majesty wants to hear?"

"There's nothing I want to hear or don't want to hear. I need to know everything in the world. But today, I still want to hear about the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is very vast."
