Prince of Chaos

Chapter 583 Chengde is a good place

After dealing with the little eunuch who didn't know the rules and the severity.

Zhu Changluo asked people to prepare a guard of honor, and he was going to meet Concubine Zheng in Yikun Palace in person.

When Zhu Changluo's guard of honor arrived at the gate in front of Yikun Palace, Zhu Changluo stopped the guard of honor with a wave of his hand, then got down from Longyu, and walked to the front of Yikun Palace.

Today's Zhu Changluo is still as cautious as ever, he has not violated the rules of the harem because of his power.

Although, Concubine Zheng's current situation is like that of an abandoned concubine.

However, her fame is still not abolished!
In name, she is still the imperial concubine of Emperor Wanli, second only to the queen's concubine in the harem.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo still has enough respect for Concubine Zheng.

Of course, these respects are only formal respects.

In fact, Zhu Changluo has no respect for Concubine Zheng Gui.

The man he is now is no longer the man he used to be.

And the current Concubine Zheng is no longer the original Concubine Zheng.

After many diggings by Zhu Changluo and the ruthless attack of Empress Dowager Li, Concubine Zheng lost her original vigor long ago and became a taciturn and cold beauty.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Before entering Yikun Palace, the little eunuch who was the foreman shouted loudly towards the inside.

The maids and eunuchs serving in Yikun Palace heard the voice from outside, they were all frightened and quiet, and immediately stopped in place, knelt on both sides, not daring to look up.

Zhu Changluo walked through the gate of Yikun Palace and came straight to the main hall of Yikun Palace.

Zhu Changluo stopped in his tracks, then bowed slightly towards the hall, "Greetings to Mrs. Zheng."

Concubine Zheng Gui, who was sitting in the Yikun Palace, heard Zhu Changluo's voice, she didn't say a word, and just looked at Zhu Changluo who was saluting outside the palace with a flat gaze.

Zhu Changluo was also very conscious, he didn't wait for Concubine Zheng to speak, then got up by himself and walked into the hall.

Zhu Changluo looked at the emaciated Concubine Zheng, and Zhu Changluo said, "Madam Zheng, I have come to see you on behalf of my father."

As soon as Concubine Zheng heard that Zhu Changluo mentioned Emperor Wanli, her calm eyes rippled, and then she suppressed the thoughts in her heart and asked, "Is his emperor's dragon body okay?"

Concubine Zheng's voice sounded calm, but Zhu Changluo could tell that she still cared about Emperor Wanli very much. It can be seen that she still cared about Emperor Wanli very much in her heart, and the love between the two was indeed distressing.

However, this kind of love for children will always appear vulnerable in the face of power.

Just like Zhu Changluo now, although he also has many concubines, he also gave birth to children.

However, Zhu Changluo clearly knew that he had no love with the women in his harem.

In front of the so-called love, Zhu Changluo values ​​power more!
Zhu Changluo said: "Madam Zheng, don't worry, my father's dragon body is very good. After a while, I will take my father to Beidaihe to escape the summer heat."

Concubine Zheng Guifei heard that Emperor Wanli was going out of Beijing with Zhu Changluo, her eyes were gloomy, because she didn't hear the message that Zhu Changluo wanted her to accompany him.

Concubine Zheng said firmly: "As long as the emperor is well, this Palace will be content."

Zhu Changluo said: "Madam Zheng still loves Emperor Father. Gu will definitely convey Mother Zheng's greetings to Emperor Father."

Concubine Zheng obviously didn't believe Zhu Changluo's nonsense. Ever since Emperor Wanli was taken to Xishan Huangzhuang by him, Emperor Wanli had been separated from her and had no contact with her since then.

Now, he would be so kind?
Concubine Zheng didn't believe it!
Zhu Changluo didn't believe it either!
Zhu Changluo said: "Ms. Zheng, Gu came here this time to tell you good news. Gu intends to crown Chang Xun's younger brother as king in the near future. The title of king is King Fu. His fiefdom, Gu has also been selected, and Gu has chosen Chengde .”

After hearing the word Chengde, Concubine Zheng's heart trembled. She had never heard of this place, and she was very afraid that Zhu Changluo would take private revenge and seal Zhu Changxun to a remote place far away.

Concubine Zheng's body, which was still sitting on the slump, suddenly softened, and she was about to kneel down in front of Zhu Changluo, begging Zhu Changluo to let Zhu Changxun go.

Seeing this, Zhu Changluo quickly avoided.

Zhu Changluo said: "Miss Zheng, what are you doing? Are you going to frame Gu Yu for being unkind and unfilial? Chang Xun's younger brother and Gu are blood brothers, and they are also the only prince of the father. It is natural for Gu Yu to supervise the country on behalf of the father. Take good care of Chang Xun's younger brother. Over the years, everyone knows Gu's love for Chang Xun's younger brother. Are you trying to slander Gu's intentions by doing this?"

Concubine Zheng also knew that she was overly nervous, she hadn't seen Zhu Changxun for many years.

Ever since Empress Dowager Li ordered Zhu Changxun to be taken away from her, Zhu Changxun never returned to Yikun Palace again.

Every time, the news about Zhu Changxun she could hear was brought to her by Zhu Changluo.

For this, Concubine Zheng hated and feared Zhu Changluo, worrying that he would be detrimental to Zhu Changxun.

Concubine Zheng said sadly, "I don't have that intention, and please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Changluo sighed, "Madam Zheng, the misunderstanding between us is too deep. Gu is such a pure, filial and true person. Over the years, apart from handling state affairs conscientiously, the most important thing Gu has done is to take care of his father and brother Chang Xun. Even Gu's son You Xiao is not favored by Chang Xun. Whatever he wants, Gu will satisfy him."

"The fief that Gu chose for him this time also took into account his future life. Chengde has beautiful mountains and rivers, pleasant scenery, and a comfortable climate. More importantly, it is very close to the capital. When the construction of the palace is completed, brother Chang Xun After the wedding, Gu will personally send him off to the feudal clan."

Concubine Zheng Gui didn't know where Chengde was, but listening to Zhu Changluo's words, it didn't seem like a fake.

However, she always felt that this matter was not that simple.

For no reason, she didn't believe that Zhu Changluo would be so kind and innocent.

After all, she had suffered from Zhu Changluo.

It is precisely because Zhu Changluo often pretends to be harmless to humans and animals that she fell into Zhu Changluo's hands, was disappointed by Emperor Wanli, and was disgusted by Empress Dowager Li and the empress, thus she fell to such a point.

Now, hearing what Zhu Changluo said so nicely, she instinctively told herself that Zhu Changluo must be holding back some evil intentions.

However, she couldn't ask directly.

So Concubine Zheng said, "Your Highness, can you tell me where Chengde is?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Changluo's mouth. He had been holding back these words for a long time, and finally he was about to say them.

Zhu Changluo said: "Chengde is in North Zhili. This place was chosen and named by Gu himself. It is located in a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers [-] miles north of the Great Wall. There are good mountains and rivers here, and it is close to the capital. Establishing Chang Xun's younger brother as a vassal here will not only make him close to the capital, but also allow him to continue to enjoy the prosperous life of the capital."

Zhu Changluo said these words nicely, but to Concubine Zheng's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky!
North Zhili?North of the Great Wall?Good mountains and rivers?
No combination of these words is necessarily a good place.

Although Concubine Zheng was born in a deep palace, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand the outside world.

In Concubine Zheng's subconscious mind, the north of the Great Wall is like an evil land of Shura.

The ferocious grassland wild people will not let Zhu Changxun go.

For a moment, Concubine Zheng almost fainted from fright.

However, Zhu Changluo no longer intends to stay any longer.

He turned around and left Yikun Palace.

To be honest, Zhu Changluo came here deliberately to scare Concubine Zheng.

Now Chengde is still a small village, and there is no trace of a big city.

But Zhu Changluo still chose this place!

The reason for this is also very simple, because it is so important here.After the Manchu Qing entered the customs in later generations, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty spared no effort to build Chengde. Of course, their purpose was not to take a summer vacation here.

It is to take advantage of Chengde's unique geographical location, control the grasslands in the north, and connect Liaodong to the east, making it the main route for the Manchu and Qing royal families to escape after they couldn't stay in the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, due to the rapid development of the times, after 70 years of the precarious and humiliating late Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not use Chengde as a retreat to Liaodong.

However, it is undeniable that the emergence of Chengde has indeed greatly improved the control of the Central Plains Dynasty over the grassland tribes, making it more restricted by the Central Plains Dynasty's control, thus becoming an inseparable part of Chinese civilization!

Therefore, Zhu Changluo also intends to make Chengde one of the summer capitals of Ming Dynasty, which will be used to remotely control the grassland and Liaodong.

However, for a while, Zhu Changluo also came from an unknown teacher, so Zhu Changluo set his mind on Zhu Changxun.

Taking advantage of the opportunity given to Zhu Changxun to enshrine the vassal, he wants to divide Chengde, and then build a city blockhouse in the Chengde area, so that the power of the Ming Dynasty will further extend to the grassland and Liaodong, and connect the new fiefdom of the king of Chu in Zhangjiakou.

Make it possible to connect with the capital and become the bridgehead for Daming to further expand the grassland and Liaodong!

As for whether Zhu Changxun will really become a fan of Chengde in the future, it depends on Zhu Changluo's mood.

However, speaking from a high probability, Zhu Changluo may confer the domain first, and then kill the donkey, and then transfer Zhu Changxun to the domain. As for where to move next, Zhu Changluo has not yet figured it out.

The question Zhu Changluo thinks about most now is how to consolidate the north and hold the military power on the nine sides.Then, he can free up means to deal with the Ming Dynasty's official circles who have become mad and talkative.
