#1245 Jiajing patrol (below)
When Xu Jin took He Zhier away from the palace, he said that he would enter the palace again the day. As soon as he got into the dark, Jiajing brought a few personal guards to the door, which really echoed the saying "I don't see you for a day, it's like three autumns after three autumns." Of course, Jiajing was worried about his sister Zhier, not Xu Jin's elder brother-in-law.
Zhao Datou looked carefully with the light emitted by the lantern, and finally realized that the young face dressed by the scholar in front of him was exactly what Zi Jiajing was today. He was shocked and said, "Emperor... Mr. Huang is here!"
Jiajing nodded in praise and said, "Bigou, okay, it's smarter than before. Where is your brother Ziqian? I'm here to visit me."
Zhao Datou grinned like a toothache: "Dude Jingguo is in the Intermediate Court, so I'll take you in here."
"It's good, be quick!" Jiajing put away the gold-patterned folding fan and followed Zhao Datou's butt to the backyard.
The mansion of King Dai is five-entry, with two in front and three in the back, and Xu Jin lives in the intermediate court. Jiajing followed Zhao Datou and passed through two moon gates and two corridors. Finally, he came to the intermediate court and muttered: "Xu Qing's house is really not small, even bigger than the Wude Hall in the Palace of My Palace."
Zhao Datou, a fool, replied heartlessly: "The house belongs to King Dai, how can it not be big? The Dai palace is dozens of times larger than this."
Jiajing couldn't help but feel relieved. It turned out that the house belonged to the King of Dian. No wonder it was so luxurious. These local vassal kings had a generous salary and were all rich. Fortunately, I have now implemented a system of delegates. Whether it is the royal family or the nobles, they will be demoted one level every time they have hereditary generation. If we continue to follow the previous arrangement, our Ming Dynasty treasury will be dragged down by the huge royal family, so Xu Qing is far-sighted and solved this major hidden danger for our Ming Dynasty.
While Jiajing was thinking, he met a man walking towards him with a lantern in his face. He was slim and had long legs. He was obviously a woman.
"Fourth Lady!" Zhao Datou stood still and shouted.
The person walking opposite was Xue Bingxin. She was holding a lantern in her right hand and a long sword that never left her body in her left hand. Several big inner guards immediately subconsciously protected Jiajing.
Xue Bingxin said strangely: "Old Zhao, are there any guests?"
"Well, Mr. Huang is here to visit the Grand Marshal!" Zhao Datou said carelessly.
Xue Bingxin took advantage of the light and glanced behind Zhao Datou, and her heart didn't feel a little sad. What about Mr. Huang? Isn't this what I think of today's Jiajing? I saw him during the day today.
Xue Bingxin hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say it out loud. She nodded and said, "The Duke of the State is in the study, please bring the guests in!" After that, she walked straight over.
Jiajing watched Xue Bingxin leave with a complicated expression. After careful calculation, Xue Bingxin was also a member of the Ming Dynasty royal family, but she was the daughter of the anti-kings. The whole family was killed by her cousin, Ming Wuzong, so her status as a clan would never be restored. She was already done with kindness and righteousness because Xu Jin gave him aside.
But after all, this woman's appearance is indeed very beautiful, and she is even more like her sister Yongfu. No wonder Xu Jin doesn't even care about her life for this woman. It's outrageous. I spared your beauty, but you "robbed" my beauty.
Jiajing came to Xu Jin's study in disappointment, and without waiting for Zhao Datou to report, he pushed the door and walked in, shouting: "Where is Xu Ziqian!"
Xu Jin, who was working on his pen at his desk, was startled. When he looked up, he saw that Zhu Houcon walked in with a bad expression. He quickly stood up and bowed: "See the Emperor!"
Jiajing stretched out his palm and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, where is my sister Zhier? Come back quickly!"
Xu Jin couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Zhier and Xin'er live together, it won't take you, the old man, to worry."
"It's outrageous. You can live in the same house with your own women, why can't I do it?" Jiajing sat on the Grand Master's chair in anger.
"Ahem... The emperor's words are wrong. Although Zhier is about to enter the palace, she is not the emperor's woman before entering the palace, but her sister. The emperor is the king of a country, so be careful of his words. It would be unpleasant to spread it!"
Jiajing rolled his eyes and said, "Be careful, besides you and me, are you afraid that outsiders will listen?"
Zhao Datou outside the door was startled, covered his ears and ran away, while comforting himself: "I didn't hear anything, I just didn't hear it!"
Xu Jin smiled dryly and said, "A gentleman is careful not to deceive the dark room, and is humble to be a shepherd himself and not to deceive the heart."
Jiajing curled his lips and snorted coldly, "She is sour and sour in me. Isn't General Xue Shen officially entering your Xu family's door, but he lives with you? You only allow the Duke to set fire and not let me light the lamp."
Xu Jin said calmly: "Your Majesty, the second young master of the Xu family can make a fuss. Isn't it normal for an old couple to live in the same place?"
Jiajing rolled his eyes immediately after being swallowed, and said, "Shameless... Hey, what's this?"
Jiajing's eyes were suddenly attracted by the map on the desk, and he walked up quickly. He saw a map like a rooster in the desk. It seemed that Xu Jin had drawn it with charcoal strokes himself, and the lines were simple and clear, but it had not been finished yet.
Jiajing's eyes lit up and said, "Is this... my map of Ming Dynasty? Hey, it doesn't look very similar!"
The map drawn by Xu Jin is a map of China from later generations, but it has added Outer Mongolia, Far East, and Vietnam. It has become much larger and has been idle these days, so I just drew it out.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is the map of the Ming Dynasty, but these places have not been included yet." As he said that, he clicked on the Xinjiang and Oirat areas on the map.
Jiajing suddenly became excited, but temporarily put his beauty behind him, pointed to Vietnam on the map and said, "Is this Annan?"
"That's right!" Xu Jin nodded.
"Annan is so small, like an earthworm. This is the first time I have seen it. There is also this whole map. Why do I feel that the more I look at it, it looks more like a big rooster? Well, if I erase the northern part of Mobei, it will look even more like it." Jiajing said authentically.
Although the Ming Dynasty also had a national map, ancient drawings were only one-sided local cognition, and there was no modern advanced surveying and mapping technology. Just one satellite photo, the entire map outline shape came out. Therefore, the shape of ancient maps was very different from that of modern times, and no wonder Jiajing was amazed.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "The outline of our Ming Dynasty is indeed a bit like a rooster, but the butt of the chicken does not belong to the Ming Dynasty."
