The Emperor of Han emphasized the brilliance and wanted to conquer the country. From then on, the king's court was in the morning. Since a grand ceremony before the New Year, Zhu Youxiao has not attended court for two months. Because yesterday he saw the palace maid who had been to the past picking flowers in the imperial garden, he was lucky to the Yao family girl again.

However, unlike the last time that Luo Ruo agreed, Zhu Youxiao directly signed Luo Ruo as Concubine Ning this time, which surprised the entire Zhu Youxiao's harem. You know, although Zhu Youxiao was the emperor, he always followed the rules in the inner court. In addition to the general election, among the concubines who were lucky in the court, those who did not have children were never named concubines without authorization, and this Luo Ruo directly became Concubine Ning. This not only puzzled the women of Zhu Youxiao. Even the officials in the court and the country could not understand why His Majesty suddenly gave him favor to the daughter of Yiyao's family, but only Li Mingrui, the Ministry of Rites, could not understand why His Majesty suddenly gave him a favor to the daughter of Yiyao's family, but only Li Mingrui of the Ministry of Rites

After seeing the thoughts of the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, he immediately submitted a memorial, which was roughly the content of the Holy Dynasty, which was always filial and brotherly. Now Ning Fei was newly granted, which was originally a great emperor's kindness. When his parents were grateful for his kindness, they were still blessed. However, because Ning Fei was a noble daughter of the Yao family and her hometown was high and far away from the capital, he asked His Majesty to grant Ning Fei's hometown. At the same time, Li Mingrui also said that although the people in the Ming Dynasty were more peaceful, the rebellion had been quelled. However, the newly accepted people could not see the emperor's heavenly face and repay the emperor's kindness in case. Therefore, he also asked His Majesty to inspect the Xin Na's land, to provide the emperor's kindness with mountains, rivers, and to advocate etiquette for the peddlers.

In short, it is because Zhu Youxiao wanted to leave Beijing again and inspect all over the world, especially in the southwest of Jiangnan scholars who had previously opposed him, and Guangdong and Guangxi, which had just started maritime trade and had a tax revenue of more than Susong and had surpassed the two prefectures of Susong, and Siberia and Japan's four islands and Java Island. Zhu Youxiao felt that he needed to go there. He chose one or two famous sites, a few monuments, or other rituals like Qianlong. The purpose was not just to browse the existence and destroy the great rivers and mountains, but to a sign of occupation of the area, just like animals would leave some signs in their newly occupied areas.

At the same time, we can also use this to attract people's hearts, so that these people who have received a certain new education or newly ended can know who the king they should be loyal to now and how great this person is.

Zhu Youxiao was able to confirm what Li Mingrui could clearly mean, so when Li Mingrui quickly submitted this memorial, he was not surprised by it, but ordered the Li Li Supervisor to approve it, and the Ministry of Rites was responsible for the inspection. In other words, Li Mingrui was naturally responsible for this inspection of the world.

This is also considered a chance for Zhu Youxiao to give Li Mingrui a chance to regain political capital. After all, some time ago, due to the cholera incident, he, the leader of the reformist faction, was not a small blow to him. Now the empire's external expansion is going well. The later establishment of colonial rule in these places requires more support from the reformist faction. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao followed the trend and sent out a signal of paying attention to Li Mingrui again. Of course, if a politically keen person can see that His Majesty now has no intention of really suppressing the reformist faction from beginning to end, and he also has to rely on the reformist faction to carry out further expansion in the future.

Li Mingrui also knew that planning his Majesty Zhu Youxiao's inspection this time was to determine whether he could restore his former position in the cabinet and even realize his long-cherished wish to serve as the chief minister and reconstruct his favor. Therefore, he was very active and conscientious about Zhu Youxiao's inspection of the world this time. He made arrangements and plans almost day and night, listed all the dangers and problems he might encounter along the way, and showed off one by one disgust that could be avoided. He even asked the peddlers or long-distance merchants to actually take time from a certain place to a certain place. He also went to the Imperial Heaven Supervision to predict the weather changes in the next year. This was quite difficult, but he still tried his best to prepare for the future.

As soon as he heard that His Majesty the Emperor was going to inspect the world again, Cheng Jiming, the new leader of the conservative school, did not stop Zhu Youxiao except frowning. Although he was unwilling to let His Majesty spend his national wealth so much to inspect the world, doing such things that seem to be more political than economic, after the lessons of the Donglin Party and the Fushe, Cheng Jiming, even if he adheres to the spirit of the scholar-officials, he should work hard to make His Majesty a generation of saints, he dare not really dare to directly violate or stop His Majesty's wishes. Even some censors wanted to submit a memorial to stop him, because he knew that at this time, whoever touched His Majesty's bad luck would die!

All the civil and military officials in the entire capital now know that His Majesty will leave Beijing to inspect the world in the near future, but no one knows the specific time, nor the specific place of travel. This shows how well Li Mingrui did the confidentiality work of this inspection. In order not to reveal a little news, he even stayed in the Ministry of Rites for several consecutive months, and the same was true for other officials of the Ministry of Rites. Even when he consulted with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War to discuss allocating funds and dispatching military escorts, he went there secretly.

Two months later, it was the time when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the cabinet suddenly issued an order that His Majesty the Emperor would inspect the world and order the governors of all regions to maintain public order within the country and not to use this to build roads and build bridges to exploit and disturb the people.

At the same time, the Ministry of War also officially transferred Liu Bin's troops from the Fifth Army of the Ming Army to the capital from Fengrun training ground, and ordered the South China Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet and the Yellow Sea Fleet to clear all pirates in the territory within one month.

No one can see where His Majesty Zhu Youxiao is going to inspect now. However, the Fifth Army was directly transferred back to the capital, but the First Army Chang Yanling, who has been training in the suburbs of Beijing, could not confirm which army was following His Majesty to leave the capital.

In addition, within a time period, a large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchangzi began to leave the capital. Almost twelve hours a day, there would be horse hooves running on the roads of the two capitals, just like when the houses were raided everywhere during the seventh year of the Tianqi revelation, the tiqi cavalry everywhere caused panic.

Half a month later, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Ming Dynasty suddenly issued an order, ordering the crown prince Zhu Cirong to supervise the country, add Lu Xiangsheng and Cheng Ji to the official title, and ask someone to assist the crown prince. At the same time, Li Mingrui, Shang and Zhou Zuo, Wen Tiren and other officials to follow the escorts. In addition, the newly-appointed Concubine Ning and the palace maid Liu Rushi were also some Hanlin officials who were responsible for recording work and the inspectors of the department.

It was five days before leaving the capital, from the palace city to Tongzhou, and martial law was temporarily imposed on the surrounding area of ​​the Imperial Road. However, this time, the Ministry of Rites had already known that Huishuntian Prefecture should not disturb the people for no reason, nor could the people be summoned to greet the emperor on both sides of the Imperial Road. Moreover, Yiluan of Zhu Youxiao specially left the capital at dusk. Therefore, even when countless people came spontaneously during the day of the trip, they had been waiting for five days but could not see the priest's face.

This time, Zhu Youxiao did not go directly from Tongzhou to the Canal through Linqing to the south of Jiangnan, but went from Baoding Prefecture to Zhending to Xi'an. As for the areas of Jianghuai and Jiangnan, under the double blow of Zhu Youxiao from public opinion control and exile in remote places, the power of the gentry group has been eradicated, and after several years of new policy reform, it has become stable without Zhu Youxiao disrupting its commercial and economic order.

On the contrary, with the further deepening of the reform of the new policy, especially the further deepening of the transformation of land and the transformation into the ethnic minority areas in the southwest, these Miao, Tujia and other students who have lived in the southwest for generations have had great resistance. At the same time, due to the exile of a large number of scholars from Jiangnan, the ideas in this area have become unprecedentedly active. More and more scholars from Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other people have begun to criticize current affairs and resist the implementation of the new policy of the court.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao placed his first stop in the southwest. In his opinion, as an emperor, he had to sound another alarm for the literati of Jiangnan who went to the countryside to support the education cause of the Ming Dynasty, warning them to remember the previous lessons, not to secretly make friends with political groups, not to interfere in lawsuits, and interfere in administrative matters.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao had to set a tone for the mainstream ideas among scholars in the entire southwest region, what should be said and what should not be said, maybe he also needed to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and he also needed to show off a few handsome young men with correct ideas.

Of course, these are just the political purposes of the inspection of the southwest. Since you have left the capital once, you naturally cannot be full of the government affairs. When you need to relax, you must also relax, appreciate your own country, taste local delicacies not made by the royal chef, and see the folk entertainment methods and the new changes in the Ming Dynasty in recent years. It is also the purpose of this inspection.

In Baoding and Zhending Prefectures in Northern Zhili, Zhu Youxiao did not stay for long. He was basically rushing to the road. After entering Shanxi, he only met Sun Chuanting in Datong. The two of them climbed to Datong Pass City and talked about some military and political issues. Within two days, Zhu Youxiao set off and went directly to Xi'an.

At this time, Sun Chengzong, the imperial teacher who had changed from the Trilateral General System to the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, had been in the air for a long time. Since the seventh year of Tianqi, the imperial teacher was released to Shaanxi with the highest position as a grand grandson and the emperor's emperor, Sun Chengzong had not seen his student and the emperor for more than ten years.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong was still very excited about this. Now he is over 70 years old and doesn’t know how long he can live, but he can still see the saint again. It’s a matter of death without regrets when he can still see the saint again.

According to the original history, Sun Chengzong would destroy Gaoyang, Baoding when the Qing Tartars entered the pass and robbed, resulting in Sun Chengzong, who had been dismissed and returned home, was killed by the Qing Tartars. However, at this moment, the Qing Dynasty had long been destroyed, so Sun Chengzong would not have died this year, and maybe he could live a few more years.

But even so, Sun Chengzong is now 76 people, and even if he does not die, he is already an old man. In addition, in order to avoid being said by the censor, Sun Chengzong himself took the initiative to ask for retirement and return home several times.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not approve it. Now the entire Ming Dynasty territory is no longer comparable in the past. Shaanxi and Gansu undertake the important task of the Ming army's advance westward and the logistics supply base northward to Siberia. Therefore, a major official must be in charge of the overall coordination.

Zhu Youxiao naturally would not let Sun Chengzong retire and return home. What the Ming Dynasty lacks the most now is officials, especially those who coordinate the border officials. Sun Chengzong, who has prestige and administrative abilities and is mature and polite, naturally cannot be idle.

To be cruel, Zhu Youxiao would rather his teacher be exhausted at work than let him return to his hometown to raise his hometown, because the Ming Dynasty still needs him.

After leaving Xi'an, Zhu Youxiao went to Hanzhong and happened to pass through Qin'an County where Qi Biaojia was located.

Because Tai'an County's fiscal revenue has improved in recent years, Qi Biaojia, as the Tai'an County teacher, also has improved in his income. Qi Biaojia now doesn't have to get up early and go to bed late to work hard for the livelihood in the fields. While he also has to teach professional teaching.

But he is already accustomed to farming and still planted a few acres of land. He would go to the fields to make a few rushes on the day of the students' holiday, at night or in the morning before class. For Qi Biaojia, he already liked this kind of life.

When Zhu Youxiao happened to arrive in Qin'an County, a secret message from the Dongchang reported that Donglin giant Qi Biaojia was working as a teaching position in this county. Zhu Youxiao's trip to this project was to see what these Jiangnan scholars who were exiled to the mountains and poverty-stricken places in the past looked like now.

So when Qi Biaojia, who was quite arrogant and proud but could not pee in the same pot as him, was actually in this remote county that looked really inconspicuous, so he ordered someone to inform the local magistrate and immediately clean up the county government. He, the emperor, was going to linger in Qin'an County for a few days.

The magistrate of Qin'an County was naturally flattered. In order to welcome the emperor, he obeyed the order and hurriedly used his small treasury to repair the county government for the first time. The local officials have always had money but did not repair the yamen. After all, repairing the yamen will not only cost money but also seek a reputation for embezzlement. But at this moment, in order to make Your Majesty live more comfortable, the magistrate of Qin'an County could not take care of so much, not to mention that he used his own small treasury and did not have the money in the flower dynasty.

When the emperor of Zhu Youxiao arrived in Qin'an County, all the officials of Qin'an County had already knelt outside the city gate to greet him. Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, was a tribute student. He had never seen the current emperor in his life, and naturally the same was true for other county officials. Only Qi Biaojia was quite calm. After all, he was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi and had also served as an official in the court, so he had met Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao walked up to the person wearing the seventh-rank official uniform with his hands behind his back: "Are you the magistrate Yan Dequan?"

"Report to your Majesty, I am the one." After the Qin'an County Magistrate Yan Dequan answered, Zhu Youxiao just nodded. However, at this time, the Qin'an County Magistrate was already trembling all over, but Zhu Youxiao did not notice that the magistrate Yan Dequan was scared to this way by himself.

He was looking at another young official with a dirt-covered but pale face but thin face on his cloth shoes, and he couldn't help asking: "It can be seen that you are not afraid of me. Tell me, who are you?"

"I dare not be afraid of Your Majesty. I am the disciple of the emperor, Qi Biaojia, who is grateful to His Majesty, and come here to teach and learn about farming and farming." After Qi Biaojia reported, he gave a big gift to Zhu Youxiao again.

"Since you dare not be afraid, why do you come to see me wearing a pair of cloth shoes full of mud?" As he said, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking Xiang Yan Dequan: "Did you not distribute clothes, shoes, socks and other items to you?"

Yan Dequan hurriedly knelt down and denied it.
