Chapter 153: Had to Change the Plan
Zhu Yunwen knew very well that there were only two roads in front of him now. The first road was to return to the capital obediently. Obviously, this road was the safest, but this went against his original wishes. Although he had done almost the same thing to cover Zhao Fei, the matter of going on a covert tour has not been successfully resolved, and Zhu Yunwen was still very reluctant.
"Yue'er, what should I do if I still want to continue on a tour in a ministry period?"
"Your Highness, if you want to continue to visit privately on a private basis, there are two ways to do it now..."
"Two methods?" Zhu Yunwen was also curious about what method was.
Luo Yue smiled and continued, "The first method is to visit openly. This is mainly to let local officials be responsible for safety issues. Next, you can investigate according to your own wishes..."
"No! This method is not feasible." Zhu Yunwen rejected this method.
Luo Yue smiled and continued, "The second method is to conduct an undercover investigation. This will allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have absolute freedom and can do what he wants, but there is no guarantee of safety in this way, unless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brings enough guards."
Of course, Zhu Yunwen would choose the second method, but it is hard to say how many guards are suitable, and it is hard to say. For the Shenlong Squad beside Zhu Yunwen, the number of people is 500, which is a battalion organization and each of them is a good player. They are equipped with the latest tiger cannons and muskets, and their strength is no less than any force of the vassal king.
Of course, it is not a problem for Zhu Yunwen to be escorted back to Beijing by the Dragon Squad, but he cannot take the Dragon Squad to go on a patrol in a mini-court. This is not a battle. Besides, taking such a team out of the vassal king must have an objection, and maybe it will cause new friction.
"Your Highness, the emperor sent a special envoy, please go to the front hall immediately..."
"special envoy?"
Zhu Yunwen and Luo Yue were both curious about who this envoy was, but they never thought that they were their old acquaintances. It turned out that this envoy was Li Lu. He was ordered by the emperor to protect Zhu Yunwen, and for this reason he brought his elite cavalry.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, this time we are still disguised as drug dealers..."
"General Li, is there any other orders for the emperor besides asking you to protect me?"
"Yes! This is the letter from the Emperor."
Zhu Yunwen quickly opened the letter, and soon he saw the emperor's order. It was very clear here. Zhu Yunwen had only two choices. The first was to cancel the tour in the ministry and return to Beijing obediently. The second was to accept the emperor's arrangements and let Li Lu take charge of his safety. The emperor also had another task assigned to Zhu Yunwen, which was a task of purchasing medicinal materials for the palace. It was handed over to Zhu Yunwen because Zhu Yunwen was very good at managing drugs. Besides, this was the best cover.
"Your Highness the Prince, we are still disguised as ordinary drug dealers. As for the large army, we can just follow us."
"General Li, you are still considerate."
Zhu Yunwen knew very well that such a detailed plan was of course made by the emperor, and it seemed that he could only do it according to his requirements. As for the Dragon Squad, who had already finished the exercise mission, it was time for them to return to the camp, but Zhu Yunwen also arranged a task for them, which was to protect the safety of the Prince's Mansion. This was a troublesome autumn. Yunwen must have prevented someone from attacking his women and children. It would be a good thing to hand over this task to the Dragon Squad.
"He Jie, this task will be handed over to your Dragon Squad. If you don't understand something, you can ask the Crown Princess..."
"Your Highness, please rest assured that we will complete the task."
"Okay, here are a few letters to pass them on to the Crown Princess for me."
"Yes."
The Dragon Squad left quickly, but Zhu Yunwen didn't want to leave Xianlai County so soon. In addition to Luo Yue's serious illness, there was another reason that no one could think of. It turned out that Zhu Yunwen hadn't thought of going there yet. After all, such a large number of people could not afford to entertain small towns. Don't say anything, it's not easy for these 300 cavalrymen to find a place to live.
"Your Highness, your subordinates are not considerate carefully, please punish him."
"General Li, don't blame yourself. We can break it up and divide several teams from the large army and then let them form drug dealers."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"
Zhu Yunwen thought about it and asked, "Where is the richest in our Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Jiangnan is the richest area, especially in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area, which is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty."
"I see."
Zhu Yunwen decided to go to the Jiangnan area for a good trip, especially the poem Fan Da’s poem that has paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, which made Zhu Yunwen recall it. He really wanted to go and see how beautiful the scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou was. Of course, Luo Yue agreed with Zhu Yunwen’s suggestion. Although she had been to Suzhou and Hangzhou many times, she had been to Suzhou and Hangzhou many times, and she had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. This time, Luo Yue would not miss it. Li Lu also agreed with this plan. In addition to the easy access to the medicinal materials needed in the palace, the main reason is that the public security in Suzhou and Hangzhou is very good, and it does not require any jurisdiction of the vassal kings, which can reduce a lot of trouble.
"General Li, do you have no objection to this destination?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the arrangement is very good, and there is no opinion at all."
"Okay, let's go tomorrow."
The next morning, Zhu Yunwen left Xianlai County in a mighty way. After all, the people in the county came to see the prince off, which felt more comfortable than finding money.
"Your Highness, this is the fruit we have prepared. You can quench your thirst on the way."
"How can this be done?"
"Your Highness, this is the little thought of the people of our Xianlai County. Please accept it..."
"Okay, thank you..."
Zhu Yunwen ate the fruit given to him by the common people, and he went from his mouth to his heart. This not only made Zhu Yunwen feel happy, but also strengthened his determination to rectify the administration.
Zhu Yunwen's trip to Jiangnan was not just a trip. If possible, he would arrest a few corrupt officials to kill one and respect a hundred, and then slowly eradicate corrupt officials from the system. This was the result of Zhu Yunwen's careful consideration. He actually appointed officials responsible for inspecting officials. This is called the Supervisor to inspect all officials. They reported the situation directly to the emperor no matter what they found. This fundamentally cut off corrupt officials, and in addition, they could also master all kinds of information at the first time. Zhu Yuanzhang admired this system very much, and finally extended this system to the Jinyiwei. Zhu Yunwen never thought that his trip to Jiangnan actually changed the development direction of the entire Ming Dynasty. His management system has been used and even became a weapon in the hands of the rulers of the Ming Dynasty.
