Wanli Xinming

Chapter 261 Tour ([-])

The spring in the 11th year of Wanli was very long, and the people who grew up in the capital felt strange: why is it so cool this summer?

Although the temperature rises slowly, the trees, flowers and plants are still in accordance with the habits of the early years.

With the arrival of late spring, Zhu Yijun's first tour as an emperor finally took place.On March [-], Da Jia left the city from Daming Gate. Because the first stop was to pay homage to the ancestors, he stayed at the Tangshan Hot Spring Palace that day to facilitate the emperor's fasting and bathing.

For the nomadic emperors of Liao, Yuan, and Manqing, visiting Beijing was a routine operation.After Emperor Kangxi was middle-aged, he would go out to Beijing for hunting almost every year; Emperor Qianlong was a traveler, and he wrote inscriptions while wandering around, leaving countless imperial pens all over the country. There are thousands of poems written about the scenery alone. .And every time he went, Qianlong also tasted local snacks and commented: If there was a hornet's nest in the Qing Dynasty, with his diligence, it would be very easy to be a bee head.

But for the Ming emperors, who were more stubborn in their own personalities and more rigid in their ministers, going on a tour was a big deal.

First is the name.We Huanghuang went to the country, the emperor La Baba all said, not to mention going out for hunting.So the emperor first issued an edict after the new year, saying: "Dian of Shun: 'It is suitable for the second month to go hunting in the east.' Mencius said: 'Those who are on the hunt should be guarded by the patrol.' It is also responsible. If you organize the army, use military force, and benefit the people in the world, you must patrol the places where you know what you are doing, and you must not waste money and disturb the people.

This is the unified thought: I am not traveling!I am going to conduct research and stabilize the northern border!And it is guaranteed not to disturb the people, not to waste money, and not to force anyone!
Because the emperor has made great efforts to rule for ten years since he ascended the throne, and never harmed state affairs for his own interests.Although a lot of money has been made from the establishment of the imperial store and the imperial factory, there is no major renovation of the garden except for the renovation of the Tangshan Palace, and most of the profits are invested in the national economy and people's livelihood.Later, the reforms and the detailed examinations caused everyone to die, but it turned out that although the reforms caused a lot of problems, the appearance of the prosperous world has gradually emerged, and the officials have nothing to say.Not to mention that there were a lot of words before, death and flow, so the public opinion preparations for the entire tour were calm.

After the unification of ideas is completed, the Ministry of Rites should formulate a ritual system.Needless to say, the emperor drives six, and the configuration of the luxury carriage and the honor guard must also be confirmed several times in accordance with the emperor's hunting ceremony, so as not to laugh at the world.

At the same time, the court has to determine the candidates to stay behind.When the emperor leaves the capital, once the capital is too late to ask for instructions, there must be a temporary decision.Originally, Empress Dowager Li was the best candidate, but she was a high-ranking chess player and left Empress Zhuang in the pit.In addition, the queen was diagnosed with pregnancy again, and the King of Luo County was young, so he had no choice but to stay in Beijing and give Zhang Juzheng the backbone.

The only thing that caused a little disturbance during the preparation period was the issue of Zhu Yiliu leaving the palace.As the emperor's brother-in-law, the hereditary King Lu is already sixteen years old, and it has long been unfit to live in the palace.But Zhu Yijun never considered him as an adult who could start a family and start a business, so he never mentioned letting him out of the palace.

After the reform of the imperial clan, it was decided that all the kings in the world would leave their fiefs and station in Beijing. Zhu Yijun allocated funds to build dozens of palaces, and the Luwang Palace was also within the scope of construction.Because Zhu Yijun liked this chubby younger brother very much, and because he considered Queen Mother Li's opinion, he allocated 16 taels of silver to make Lu Wang's mansion beautiful.

But until the palace was completed, Empress Dowager Li did not let her younger son leave the palace.A courtier reminded him that Zhu Yijun also saw that Mrs. Li was staying, and did not make a statement.

The original time and space King Lu lost his life under the temptation of the palace maid at the age of twelve. This incident caused an uproar in the palace. After the Empress Dowager Li lost her composure, she angered the Wanli Emperor, which made Wanli very angry. All killed.

Although King Lu of this time and space was also spoiled by the Queen Mother Li, but under the strict control of Zhu Yijun, he was a lot more reliable.After entering puberty, Zhu Yijun arranged a few "old adults" by his side to guard him day and night to prevent him from acting out of his own thoughts.I also talked to him many times to prevent him from getting sick due to Yuanyang's premature leakage.

King Lu was restrained by his brother and was full of bitterness. He repeatedly expressed in front of Zhu Yijun the idea of ​​​​thinking about leaving the palace and staying in the palace. Zhu Yijun said every time, you should tell your mother.But in the face of Empress Dowager Li's sad little eyes, King Lu did not dare to express his heart directly.He had no choice but to live hard in the palace. Zhu Yijun also arranged for him various tutors to train him in the aspects of morality, physical fitness, beauty and labor. The whole King Lu really felt that he could not bear the love of his mother.

Before the birth of King Luo Jun, Zhu Yijun went out to the capital for a short time to worship the mausoleum, and every time King Lu was in charge of the country.After King Luo Jun was born, even though he was in swaddling, the responsibility of supervising the country began to be held by King Luo Jun. This is also due, and no one feels abnormal.

The emperor's visit to the north this time was no small matter. The prime minister, Zhang Juzheng, also wrote an inscription and asked King Lu to leave the inner palace.

When Zhu Yijun saw that King Lu had been suffocated to the point of madness, he asked Empress Dowager Li about it.Although Empress Dowager Li was a little reluctant, but King Lu's mansion was in the capital, Empress Dowager Li thought that her son could let her see her, which was much better than having to be a clan before the clan reform.Besides, considering the age of King Lu, it is indeed not suitable for him to live in the inner palace again, so he nodded in agreement.

Therefore, King Lu was like the unhooked fish, the bird that came out of the cage, and went to his palace in a flash.Zhu Yijun received a report the next day that King Lu was fortunate to have three palace maids bestowed by the Empress Dowager at night until dawn, and as a result, he fell ill.

Diagnosed by the imperial physician, "The lord's wetness is decreasing, with alternating itching and pain. The tongue is reddish, the coating is greasy, and the pulse is weak."As a hereditary prince, this case needs to be recorded in the ancestral mansion. The imperial doctor wrote these few sentences briefly to save face for the royal family - in fact, he was bald and tired.

Zhu Yijun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he gave up the idea of ​​letting King Lu get married later.After all, I haven't set a good example, and it's really too careless to use my younger brother's late marriage to change customs.As for the younger sisters and his own daughters, Zhu Yijun made up his mind that he must be 17 years old before he can become the Lord.

After King Lu left the palace, Zhu Yijun decreed that the king of Jinluo County would be the prince, named Zhu Changhao, and once again supervised the country during the emperor's hunting tour.Although this decree did not make Zhu Changhao the crown prince, officials and people all over the world knew where the emperor's heart belonged, and there was no noise.

After several tossing and turning, the preparations for the emperor's tour were completed.Zhu Yijun left Beijing this time, with [-] internal guards, [-] new troops, and all kinds of new firearms.If the logistics can keep up, such a military force sweeping to the Urals will not be a problem.

Accompanying the princes were the three hereditary princes of Zheng Wang, Jin Wang and Qin Wang, the first-class duke and privy envoy Zhu Shitai, and the second-class duke Zhang Yuangong—the old British prince Zhang Rong Wanli died ten years ago, and his eldest son Zhang Yuangong succeeded the second-class duke.

The courtiers were accompanied by dozens of people including Zhang Siwei, Pan Sheng, Liu Yingjie, Yin Zhengmao, Shen Shixing, Zhang Jing, and Chen Ju. Nearly one-tenth of the courtiers followed Zhu Yijun.In addition, other religious figures such as Monk Hanshan also followed the holy car to facilitate preaching to the tribal leaders, and they also accompanied the emperor to meet the lamas of the Yellow Sect.

As the chief minister of the chauffeur, Zhang Siwei followed Zhu Yijun out of Beijing this time, which meant that he would replace Zhang Juzheng to handle all kinds of inscriptions and memorials delivered by the courier. All ministers knew that Zhang Siwei had taken over after Zhang Juzheng left office Basically got the emperor's approval.For Zhang Siwei, this trip to Beijing was a political statement made by the emperor to pave the way for him and create public opinion.

In the inner palace, the first one was the Empress Dowager Cisheng. In order not to be lonely on the road, Zhu Yijun also brought several concubines: Concubine Li Shun, Wang Xianbi, Wei Zhaoyi, and Ning Jieyu. All of them have no children, three of them play mahjong with the queen mother, and one can serve tea and water - these are all acts of filial piety, and no one can fault it.

As for Zheng Jieyu, who was promoted from the rank of beauty, after publishing the paper on capacitors, she has evolved into a first-class researcher of the Gewu Academy, and will soon become the first female academician of the Wanli Dynasty.
