It is never a trivial matter for an emperor to go on tour, especially for a founder like the old man and a successor like Zhu Yunxi.
What needs to be more cautious is that the two of them are still returning to their hometown.
When the time comes when the Huangtu Padao Jing Street is opened and martial law is enforced along the road, the two men will be happy, but the people will suffer.
Money is secondary, the main thing is disturbing people in a big way.
"My grandson doesn't think it's better than this." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "If you feel that you are fine, old man, just go back quietly."
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can it be done?" He said in a low voice, "Those scholars who suffered from the plague?"
"Who dares to take care of you? Who can take care of you?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "It's not like the emperor travels with great fanfare, pretending to be an ordinary member of the family and returning to his hometown to visit relatives." As he said this, he suddenly showed a somewhat troubled look, "But
What's your body like?"
"What's wrong with our body and bones?" the old man said angrily, "Do you think we're useless now that we're old? Let me tell you, if you don't meet any strong men on the road, just give up. If you do, I'll kill you one by one."
Speaking of this, the old man suddenly hesitated again.
"No, no, if we go, you must follow us. You are the emperor, and if you don't stay in the capital and run away, who will decide the military and state affairs? We cannot delay state affairs because of us. Besides, none of the emperors in the past dynasties have done this.
"
"This is what Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty did!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Look, you and Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty were the most unified emperors in the past dynasties."
"A low-born person means a low-born person. What a reckless hero. However, the great ancestor of Han Dynasty is better than us. After all, he is still a pavilion chief and eats royal food. We are just mud-legged." The old man said with a smile.
"Wealth and wealth are like traveling at night in brocade clothes!" Zhu Yunxi continued to laugh, "After the Emperor of the Han Dynasty returned to his hometown after becoming emperor, the elders in his hometown were all honored. Historical records record that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty set out to return to Beijing several times, but was stopped by his elders in his hometown.
"
"At that time, several old people who had watched Han Gaozu grow up stood in front of the car with pots in their hands and refused to give way, which made Han Gaozu stay for a few more days. Later, Han Gaozu was so happy that he sang those famous lines through the ages."
The old man asked doubtfully, "Is this the case?"
"My grandson can still lie to you. This is the original saying of Taishi Gong Shiji." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "At that time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was so happy that he sang loudly at the banquet prepared by the elders in his hometown. The wind was blowing and the clouds were flying, and the sea was full of waves.
Return home."
The old man chirped twice, with a look of envy on his face.
Zhu Yunxi knew that the emperor that the old man admired most in his life was Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. A common man ascended the throne for ninety-five years and created the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. It was the ultimate interpretation in the hearts of countless men that princes and princes would have peace.
However, there are not many similarities between the old man and Liu Bang. Liu Bang was a gangster. After drinking too much, he led his men to talk nonsense in poker competitions, peed into the hats of Confucian scholars, and was a lackey in cockfighting and betting on horse racing.
The old man has very high standards for his own moral character. He has killed more people than Liu Bang in his life, but he can't even catch up to Liu Bang in extraordinary things.
"We won't be as flamboyant as Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty when we go back." Zhu Yunxi continued, "You can go back and see the imperial mausoleum and the place where you lived when you were young. It would be better if you can meet the old people and have a bowl of hometown.
Water and some rice from home."
"Let the grandchildren also see the place where the ancestors were founded, so that they can know how the imperial industry flourished."
The old man's heart seemed to be a little relaxed.
He loves his hometown, which is different from Liu Bang who went back to his hometown to drink big bowls and eat meat after he became emperor. After he became emperor, he built his hometown into the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, and even reduced taxes year after year.
"Grandpa Huang, in fact, my grandson has seen that you have aged very much in the past two years!" Zhu Yunxi said softly, "Although the palace is full of fine clothes and fine food, you can stay in the palace to know tomorrow, and tomorrow will repeat today, no matter how good the life is.
tired."
"As you always said, you are now over seventy years old but your body is still strong and you can still walk around and see. Then it is better to go back and have a look now than in the future...
"
The old man said, "It's better than not being able to move in the future and leaving regrets, right?"
As he spoke, he took a sip of wine silently, "Yes, these days, when you close your eyes, it's all the people and things from the past. People must return to their roots after falling leaves. We can't return to our roots, but we can go back and take a look, forget it.
A wish.”
"We haven't visited the grave of your great-grandfather and grandma in many years."
"Although we say it...but if we don't go and take a look, I will always feel uncomfortable in my heart!"
Zhu Yunxi immediately smiled and said, "You can go if you want. My grandson will ask someone to make arrangements tomorrow!" He said with a smile, "If you are homesick, go back and have a look. Who dares to be nagging?"
The old man hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, I'll do as you say." He said, blinking, "Um... Let the second girl bring a guard to accompany her. His grandmother's mausoleum is not far away from the imperial mausoleum.
Far away." As he said that, he suddenly got angry and said, "I don't know what he has done in these years, and I don't see him writing to his grandma's grave to see anything unfilial."
As he spoke, he suddenly sighed and said, "Dasun, do you know why we are so good to his second girl?"
"Back then, our family was poor. Among our relatives, only the second girl and her grandfather, our brother-in-law, were living well. I remember one year when the Chinese New Year was about to come, the family was so poor that we couldn't open the pot. Our brother-in-law walked away in the wind and snow with a load.
I delivered food to my family over a journey of more than thirty miles."
"He treats your great-grandfather as if he were his own son. He eats whatever is good and thinks about the two elders."
In fact, Li Jinglong's grandmother was the old man's second sister, and the eldest sister was someone else. However, after the eldest sister got married in the early years, she did not help the family very much and became distant. That's why the old man treated Li Jinglong's eldest sister as the eldest sister.
"I listen to you, let him drive the carriage for you." Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile, "Do you need to call Marquis Yongan, Marquis Wuding and others?"
"Call, call those old guys, and that guy Cao Zhen!" The old man said with a smile, "Let's all have a good time... and go back happily."
With that said, the old man went to get the wine again, then turned around and scolded Pu Bucheng with a smile, "You old guy, you know how to play tricks. When I asked you to get the wine, you only filled the pot with half a shot of wine. How dare you fool this stupid boy?"
"I don't dare!" Pu Bucheng said hurriedly.
"When we go back to our hometown, you should follow us." The old man looked at him, "If I die in front of you in the future, you will go to the Zhongdu Imperial Mausoleum to see the mausoleum!"
Pu Bucheng took another bottle of wine from the palace servant, put it on the table, and said, "I have already said that I will follow you one day!"
"Get lost!" the old man cursed, and poured the wine happily, then dipped his chopsticks in it, and brought it to Liujin's mouth, "Come on, dear grandson, let us take a sip!"
"Hiss...spicy!"
~~
The long night will eventually pass, and when the sun comes out, the sky and the earth will be filled with light again.
The capital city at dawn is as thick as a still mountain, and when you look up, you will feel a sense of fear that it is unattainable.
A group of cavalry escorted several carts and arrived outside the Zhengyang Gate of Yingtian Mansion.
A heroic young man on horseback looked up at the city gate, "Beijing, I'm here again." After murmuring, he sighed slightly, "I wonder if Qingxin Xiaozhu is still there?"
"Boy, go call the door!" A voice came from the carriage, followed by a chubby man with a tired face, "Hurry into the city, let's find a place to rest, and see you at the palace in the afternoon."
The visitors were none other than the sons of King Zhu Di of Yan, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaosui, who was still sleeping soundly in the carriage at this moment.
"Why are you in a hurry?" Zhu Gaoxu was interrupted by Zhu Gaochi and said angrily, "You are in a hurry now. Why weren't you in a hurry when you were on your way?"
"Am I in a hurry?" Zhu Gaochi cursed, "I can't ride a horse."
"You can't blame me for riding a horse?" Zhu Gaoxu retorted, "Who made you so fat?"
Suddenly, Zhu Gaosui poked his head out of another carriage and said, "Second brother, why are you talking to the eldest brother? Can you save some face for the eldest brother?" Then he said, "The eldest brother doesn't want to be so fat, but he is born like this.
What can I do?"
"Hey, you're pretending to be a good guy!" Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him, walked to the city gate, and shouted loudly, "The gatekeeper is dead? Didn't you look at your second master?"
