I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 37 Li Dongyang: Are you the only one who can touch your clothes and travel south?

Ming dynasty.

The entrance of Yanzhou Station.

Li Dongyang frowned and looked at the imperial officials staggering around in front of him, with a very bad expression.

"Sir, thank you sir, he can't get up. He asked if he could rest for half a day."

"Sir, Master Jiao's swelling hasn't subsided yet and he can't get up..."

He said nothing until the young man accompanying him came and told him some news, and his face darkened again.

however……

Before he spoke, the officials in front of him started complaining and complaining.

"Master Li, take a rest... I'm really tired from traveling like this. I've never been so tired in the past 20 to 30 years."

"Yes! I have been galloping all the way... I haven't rested for more than ten days. My body is made of iron and I can't stand it!"

"Yes, Mr. Li, take a rest, take a rest. Anyway, His Majesty has arrived at Jinling. Even if we go, according to His Majesty's temperament, we cannot immediately persuade His Majesty to return to Beijing... If we delay for a day or two, we will not be out of trouble. What a big deal."

"I can't handle this old bone anymore!"

There was a cry of mourning immediately, and Li Dongyang's face became even more gloomy. Looking around at these cheating ministers, he understood Zhu Houzhao a little.

What can be accomplished by putting these guys on the stand?
He was traveling in a carriage, not on horseback.

"Shut up! Back then, Xuanzong was able to rush from Jinling to the capital in fifteen days. Now, His Majesty only takes less than ten days to rush from the capital to Jinling. You are important ministers of the Ming Dynasty. You can't bear the hardship of traveling. ?"

Li Dongyang finally couldn't bear it anymore and his patience was exhausted. At this moment, he suddenly burst out: "One hundred and twenty people left the capital. Now look, how many people are left? Migrate south! Fortunately, Yu Shaobao stopped them from migrating south. With people like you, Those who cheat, cheat, and are indolent would have died on the road long ago!"

The words were unpleasant to hear, but you can’t blame Li Dongyang.

Because of the vows made before leaving Beijing, only two days after leaving the capital, the accompanying officials put on various small shows. Either they had insufficient food or accommodation, and some even wanted to be entertained by local officials along the way.

As the leader and tour guide of this elderly sunset red tour group.

Li Dongyang is living in hell these days, not to mention that his body can't bear it, but he has to hold on.

But these people not only failed to cooperate, but actually held them back.

"Also! I finally know that I can travel to the south in a well-dressed manner! To put it lightly, you have been pampered and pampered for so many years, can you go south in a well-dressed manner?"

"You guys deserve it too!?"

"It was when Yu Shaobao saw your situation that he knew not to move south!"

"Every one of you should ask yourselves, are you worthy of being an official of the Ming Dynasty?"

"You are all ashamed of Zhao Gou! You are probably not even as good as Zhao Gou and Qin Hui!"

Li Dongyang only had one experience of taking Sunset Red to the south, so he knew that if something happened to the Ming Dynasty, it would probably be a disaster!
Maybe not even as tough as Zhao Gou and Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The reason lies in the performance of this group of people. After all, Yu Qian saved the last bit of face for the civil servants.

"Master Li, what you said is serious!"

"The situation is obviously different. Our Ming Dynasty has no crisis, no need to travel south in clothes, and no shame of Jingkang..."

"We just went to welcome His Majesty back to Beijing in peace, but you are in danger of national subjugation. What are your intentions?"

"My Ming Dynasty is in its prime, Hai Qing He Yan. We are also traveling on official business. The Queen Mother and the First Assistant did not ask us to welcome His Majesty back within a limited time?"

"Does the Cabinet need to be anxious?"

Faced with Li Dongyang being slapped with such big hats, the officials who were already resentful became full of resentment. They were all haters. Whoever was afraid of whom, their combat effectiveness was naturally not weak.

"hehe!"

I’m so tired, your mother!
Li Dongyang took a deep breath. Facing these guys, he was so angry that he wanted to curse, but... he held back.

"I just want to say one thing! The flying pigeon I got yesterday conveyed the message that His Majesty has already held a court meeting in Jinling! This is the first time in Jinling that I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, have held a court meeting in Jinling for more than eighty years! Officials from the six ministries of Jinling Everyone is participating!" "You don't have to be in a hurry, I won't take care of you anymore!"

"Those who can leave, follow me! I don't need to be a burden!"

Li Dongyang didn't say anything, didn't bother to argue, just changed hands and left. And this time he stubbornly rode on his own horse instead of riding in a carriage.

"What? Your Majesty is holding a court meeting in Jinling!?"

After Li Dongyang did this, these officials were shocked. They finally understood why Li Dongyang was so anxious.

"go!"

"Master Li, wait for me!"

Under the threat of official position, this group of people suddenly stopped feeling sore in their waists and legs, and all of them with strong skills rushed to get on the carriage and go on their way.

In an instant, they who seemed to be about to fight just now were united together for a rare moment.

It's a pity that they cheered up for a while and stayed hot for three minutes. Half a day later, they collapsed on the road again.

Their bodies can only support them for three seconds.

……

"My lord, you are finally here!"

"Your Majesty has been waiting for you in Jinling for many days."

"..."

At the same time, on the Jinling side, Xing Wang Zhu Youqian arrived on the eighth day after Zhu Houzhao returned to Jinling after a less urgent journey.

"Prince Xing, it's a great time for you to come...Finally, someone has taken over the burden."

The moment Liu Zhong, the Minister of Rites, saw Zhu Youqiu, he felt as if he was seeing a relative, and he directly and enthusiastically welcomed him over.

"Wait a minute..."

"Prince Yan's Mansion!"

"How am I qualified to live in Prince Yan's Mansion?"

"What did you do to Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Zhu Youzhang was just pulled in by Liu Zhong. He was immediately shocked when he saw the regulations and name of the palace. At the same time, the situation in the Yan Palace also surprised him. There were a lot of messy things, and there were even people from small countries. .

"Your Majesty, don't worry about these details. You will know after listening to the official."

"This is all prepared by Your Majesty to worship Taizu..."

"Your Majesty's sacrifice this time was... very big! It was so big that our entire Rites Department didn't expect that the sacrifice could produce so many things, so... His Majesty persuaded us."

"First of all, why do you live in Prince Yan's Mansion... Because you represent the direct descendant of Taizong's lineage. Your Majesty plans to bring all the descendants of Taizu's lineage to pay homage to Taizu..."

"Including the descendants of Prince Yiwen, they all live in the east palace side hall now..."

"Then there are the descendants of the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and even the descendants of King Zhu Bai of Hunan who were killed by Emperor Jianwen when he cut down the vassal vassal..."

"All the princes and descendants of Taizu's lineage...even the descendants of King Ning's lineage live in the corresponding palace..."

Liu Zhong helplessly talked about some of the reasonable but unreasonable actions that Zhu Houzhao made in order to worship. They, who had always tended to tend to cumbersome etiquette, were obsessed with details by Zhu Houzhao, creating an excuse that they could not find a refutation of.

Zhu Youqi was okay at the beginning, but before he finished listening, his mouth opened wide... He was shocked and shocked, and all he could think about was this, is this okay?
Immediately the first reaction was, the clan government doesn’t care?
Then he suddenly realized that the clan mansion was far away in the capital, and even if he knew about Zhu Houzhao's ice-breaking act of preferential treatment to the clan, he probably wouldn't stop it.

The Ming Dynasty was so harsh on their vassal kings that it was almost as harsh as Cao Pi's strict defense of his Cao family clan.

After thinking about this, Zhu Youqian had a second thought. Can the cabinet agree?
Then he suddenly realized that this was in Jinling and the cabinet could not control it. Another point was that the officials in Jinling seemed to have not found a way to deal with Zhu Houzhao for the time being?
Still waiting and watching?
