In November, after the first snow in the 19th year of Wanli, British Duke Zhang Rong died. This was a big deal for the Ming Dynasty. In the past, it was just a nobleman who died, but now it represents a giant in the Ming military.

From the situation this year, we can see that the court has entered a period of replacement.

Whether it is the civil servants or military generals, the resignation of the resignation and the death of the dead, the older generation has gradually disappeared. Qi Jiguang, the pillar of the Ming army, probably couldn't last for a few years, but fortunately the younger generation has also risen.

The funeral of British Duke Zhang Rong was very high, and Zhu Yijun also went there in person and comforted Zhang Weixian.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the busy thing is the New Year. This is the 19th year that Zhu Yijun spent in the Ming Dynasty. After the New Year, he was twenty-nine years old. He was separated from the young emperor and entered the stage of becoming a young and prosperous person.

This year was very peaceful, and the Ming Dynasty was considered a political and harmonious person.

After the beginning of the year, the court ushered in another wave of wage increases, accompanied by national rectification of officials. The Anti-Corruption Department and the Legal Discipline Department have been launched nationwide, and the capital has also sent inspection teams to start investigating major cases nationwide.

After the Chinese New Year, things are going well, and Zhu Yijun's journey north is about to begin.

Forbidden City, Yongning Palace.

Since serving Zhu Yijun, Brother Dong was enthroned as Concubine Shun, and the palace he lived in was the Yongning Palace. Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor favored the newly entered Concubine Shun.

There are three or four days to be with her every month. Of course, this is incomparable to the queen. The emperor goes there for at least ten days, and most of the time it takes half a month and half a month.

This is also a major factor in the peace of Zhu Yijun's harem.

"Is this the Jurchen Milk Wine?" Zhu Yijun picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, then placed it on the table, and nodded with a smile: "It tastes pretty good!"

Brother Dong, who had already combed his Han-style hair, smiled and poured another cup for Zhu Yijun and said, "The Jurchens are vulgar, and the food is also vulgar. Your Majesty likes me and I am happy."

"What a vulgar or not!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "It's all for living."

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Brother Dong was slightly stunned, and then asked in a questioning manner: "Your Majesty seems to feel something?"

Playing with the wine glass in his hand, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Whether the Jurchens or the Ming Dynasty, what the people want is just food in their mouths and clothes on their bodies, which is enough."

"In our Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that one cow is one hundred acres of land, and a wife and children are warming up the kang."

"This sounds quite unambitious, but for the people at the bottom, what they want is nothing more than that. What are the major events in the world and the hegemony of emperors and emperors? What does it have to do with them?"

Brother Dong leaned on the table and held his chin with his hands: "Your Majesty is really different from what I think."

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun immediately smiled: "Then what do you think of me?"

"The leader of our Jurchen clan is very powerful. He thinks about how to annex other tribes every day." Dong Ge said with a smile: "I just think Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world."

"Then everyone will not dare to look up when they see His Majesty. Whoever is disobedient will kill anyone."

After hearing Brother Dong's words, Zhu Yijun immediately smiled: "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Brother Dong shook his head: "No, Your Majesty did not disappoint me, but instead made me admire him. Your Majesty has power but does not abuse it, has the people in his heart, and has kindness. Your Majesty is a wise monarch."

Hearing Brother Dong's words, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I heard that the women in the grassland admire the strong. Are there any number one warriors or the like?"

Nodding, Dong Ge agreed, "Yes! But they can't compare with Your Majesty. The Ming Dynasty is so prosperous. With the order of Your Majesty, countless people are willing to die for Your Majesty. Your Majesty does not need to show anything with courage."

Zhu Yijun immediately smiled and reached out to pinch Brother Dong's nose: "You can talk!"

"I am leaving the capital in a few days. I am going to stay in Jizhou for a few days, then go to Liaodong and to Chenyang to see you. I want to take you with me, maybe I can see your father and brother."

When Brother Dong heard Zhu Yijun say this, he was immediately happy: "Really? It's great, Your Majesty really loves me!"

Zhu Yijun also smiled. The reason for taking Brother Dong there was not only because of loving her. However, there was no need to say these things, but the end of loving others was still very tragic.

The next morning, Zhu Yijun got up and rubbed his waist and eyes. It was so tragic.

"Your Majesty, please let me prepare some warm and tonic things!" Zhang Jing followed Zhu Yijun and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Okay, then prepare a little bit. By the way, I will remind me in the future not to stay in Shunfei's place before leaving for the Northland."

I have to control myself. If this continues, I will have premature aging.

Although everyone knows that the emperor is going to the north, it seems to be a little too early to go now? Chengde cultivated the summer resort. Now go to the summer resort? Stop making trouble.

However, the ministers also knew that it was basically impossible to block it, so if you want to go, go.

In Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yijun summoned the ministers and announced his plan to go to the northern tour.

"I am preparing for the Northern Tour. During my Northern Tour, the eldest prince will supervise the country, the chief minister of the cabinet, Zeng Shengwu, and Xu Wenbi, the Minister of the Military Affairs Department, assist in the administration. Other Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and other ministers of the Military Affairs Department, must also be honest about the matter."

The eldest prince reigns the country, this is righteousness, no one dares to say anything, although the eldest prince is only four years old.

There is no problem with Shen Shi's regent. After all, he is the chief minister of the cabinet, and Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, is a bit incomprehensible. What about Qi Jiguang? It should be Qi Jiguang's regent?

"Qi Jiguang follows you!" Zhu Yijun spoke directly to answer everyone's doubts.

After the Northern Tour was finalized, the matter entered the preparation stage. The emperor's travel was naturally a big deal, so the preparations must be sufficient, and the local governments were sent to prepare.

However, Zhu Yijun has issued an order, strictly prohibiting local governments from building palaces and offering treasures.

At the same time, local governments are strictly ordered not to charge violent taxes in the name of their own Northern Tour, and violators will be severely punished and not loaned.

After a month of preparation, according to the calculations of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, the eighth day of the second lunar month was a good day, and the Holy Lord was suitable for travel, so Zhu Yijun's northern tour officially began.

There were more than 300 eunuchs and palace maids accompanying him, and the number of 20,000 servants guarding him was custodial.

After the group left the capital, they rushed to their first destination, Jizhou. Because they built the cement straight road, it was not difficult to walk along the way.
