Although the weather in February has already reached spring according to solar terms, who would have thought that the weather is still so cold. There is even snow falling in the sky.

In this bitingly cold night, Zhao Nianzong stood on the deserted street, and the feeling of desperation suddenly hit his heart.

What can we do in the future?

Touch the few gold ingots and silver nuggets in your pocket.

He was thinking silently in his heart:

Is it possible to be like them and go to Nantianmen to farm?

"Don't think that Nantianmen is just a place where evil diseases are rampant. Speaking of Jiangnan more than a thousand years ago, it was also a place where miasma was rampant. Isn't there an old saying? "Jiangnan is humid, and husbands die young." But what about now? Jiangnan

It is a land of plenty. There is no richer place in the world than Jiangnan. The Nantianmen area is no worse than Jiangnan, not to mention three crops a year, and the land is hundreds of times more fertile than Jiangnan. As long as everyone is willing to work hard, it will take only a few years to get there.

Then there will be fertile fields everywhere, and by then there will be no miasma. Besides, the imperial court has medical officers stationed in the area."

At the dock, officials from the Colonial Office told them so.

For other people, "the south of the Yangtze River is humid and humid, and the husband died young" may be the "exaggeration of the ancients" in the mouth of officials. But for Zhao Niazong, he did not want to lose his life there. The exaggeration of the ancients is not bad.

Regardless of whether it is an exaggeration or not, it is always a fact that her husband died young.

"I couldn't have died in Taihang, but in the miasma of Nantianmen!"

Zhao Nianzong was thinking this in his heart, and he had all kinds of resistance to going to Nantianmen, but he also knew that there was absolutely no place for him to stay in the country. After all, there could be a silver reward hanging on his head.

The streets were covered with thick ice, and the lights from storefronts one after another reflected on the ice. Being on the street, Zhao Niazong seemed a little confused.

go there?

You can't leave the customs and go outside the customs.

Even if he arrived outside the customs, how could Li Guo find a place for him to stay?

Zhao Nianzong was thinking in his mind as he walked into a tavern on the roadside.

Anyway, I don’t know where I’m going, so let’s warm up with a bowl of wine to ward off the cold!

Although the night was already deep, there were still a dozen young sailors gathered around the dim lights in the tavern, drinking wine and bragging. Of course, from time to time they would also move their hands up and down the prostitute in their arms.

The men's wild laughter and the women's coquettish laughter echoed in the tavern.

This place is so delicious!

Zhao Nianzong was thinking about this and walked to the Quqi.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a bowl of wine."

After counting a few coins from the money bag, Zhao Niazong asked again.

"Shopkeeper, where do all the boats on this pier go?"

"It depends on where you want to go. Although Haizhou is not as big as other big docks, there are ships going both north and south. Have you heard of the Japanese country? There are also ships going there.

How about it?"

The shopkeeper looked at the man in front of him and smiled.

"Looking at your stature, you definitely don't want to be like other people, working on the land to earn a living, and want to earn a living on a boat? It's a coincidence that you came here. Anyway, as long as you are willing to earn a living on a boat, this is the right place for me.

You can still talk on this pier..."

Before Shopkeeper Niu finished speaking, the sailor shouted loudly.

"Shopkeeper Niu, don't coax the newcomers. They want to get on the boat, but when they get to the dock, they still have to worry about not being able to get on the boat. Shopkeeper Niu is using his reputation there. Shopkeeper Niu must be looking for a few taels of introduction fee from the shipowner!"

…”

Even though his little idea was exposed, Shopkeeper Niu still smiled.

"Look what you said, it's just to earn some money for running errands."

While talking and laughing, Zhao Nianzong saw someone in the room staring at him from time to time. Could it be that that person recognized him? His heart tightened, Zhao Nianzong drank the wine in one gulp, and then wiped his mouth and said.

"Just asking casually, it's not time to go to sea yet. The shopkeeper will make you a pot of strong wine."

After a while, he walked out of the tavern carrying a pot of strong liquor. As soon as he left the tavern, two sailors followed him out. They looked around and saw no one on the street, and they were confused.

"Hey, where is the person?...Ah!"

There were two screams in succession, and the two sailors who were slapped on the back of the head fell down. Zhao Nianzong walked out of the shadows next to the tavern with a cold face.

"We can't stay in this place any longer, we have to get out quickly..."

While he was talking, he looked at the two people sleeping on the ground. If he had a choice, he would have killed these two people with a knife, but he didn't dare. After all, if there was a human life lawsuit, the government would definitely come to investigate.

.

"Thinking about my heroic life, I never imagined that I would be so hesitant to even do this kind of thing now."

Saying this, he poured the pot of strong liquor into the stomachs of the two sailors. After making them drunk, he went straight to the dock...

…

Finally arrived in Nanjing!

On February 23rd, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian and his party finally arrived in Nanjing after a long journey. According to the emperor's wishes, Zhu Yujian had to go to Xiaoling to pay homage to Emperor Gao first, and then go to a hotel outside the city to wait for the emperor's call.

When he came to Xiaoling to pay homage in the wind and snow, Zhu Yujian could not calm down for a long time. For more than a year in the past, he had been supervising the army in Shanxi. With the peace of the world, he in the army,

My thoughts have already flown to Nanjing, to...

After flying to his feudal prince's palace, I was still safe there. After all, I didn't have to worry about whether I would arouse the emperor's fear in the army.

No matter how magnanimous the emperor may be, there are still some things where we still have to be as careful as we can. After all, we have endured hardships back then.

But when did the emperor give the order for him to leave the country?

Ever since the emperor ascended the throne in the capital, Zhu Yujian has been thinking about this matter and has been waiting for the palace's decree.

Wait, wait!

Finally, I waited for the emperor's decree.

Enter Beijing!

So as soon as he received the imperial edict, he led a dozen personal followers and headed south to Nanjing.

It’s time to meet the Holy Spirit!

I will return to Nanyang to Fengguo soon!

Even just thinking about it, Zhu Yujian felt a little excited. From Fengyang High Wall to Military Supervision, these years of experience have made his character increasingly calm.

In fact, he didn't mind serving the country in the army. But as a vassal king, Zhu Yujian knew very well that now that the world was at peace, he could not stay in the army any longer. If he stayed... he might have to raise the wall again.

After a trip, someone released him last time? This time I went back to the same place, but no one released him.

Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to submit a letter to the country. Why?

I'm afraid that someone will make irresponsible remarks. As soon as the world is at peace, I clamor to go to the country and enjoy the blessings. Isn't this causing trouble for myself?

Then just wait!

This wait is just half a year!

Finally, he was allowed to wait for the imperial edict. Well, now he can live a stable life. As for state affairs... When the Holy Emperor reigns, it is his turn to worry about the affairs of his ancestors. With Emperor Qian Sheng here, the Ming Dynasty will be rejuvenated just around the corner.

"Emperor Gaozu, the unfilial descendants don't want to worry about state affairs, but the Holy Emperor is on the throne, and it's not the turn of the unfilial descendants to worry about..."

Not to mention that such an awareness is normal, but there are not many people in history who can immediately find their position like Zhu Yujian.

That is to say, Zhu Yujian paid homage to Emperor Gao here, and when he was about to leave, he saw a young lieutenant waiting for him with a smile.

"Who is the father-in-law?"

"Little Wang Xi has met the prince!"

As soon as Wang Xijian saluted, Zhu Yujian said in shock

"Ah, you're welcome, Your Majesty!"

Who is Wang Xi?

This is the emperor's confidant eunuch. Although it is known that Emperor Qian Sheng does not like zhongguan, and there are even rumors that he wants to abolish zhongguan eunuchs, there are still many zhongguan in the palace, and Wang Xi was the eunuch beside the emperor when he was Qianlong. .

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. I will send you something as per your Majesty's instructions."

A gift from the emperor?

what?

"Your Majesty heard that Your Majesty had arrived in Nanjing, so he specially asked the junior high school student to take some soil from Xiaoling Mausoleum and give it to Your Majesty. Please keep it away!"

The soil of Xiaoling!

What kind of gift is this?

Zhu Yujian was immediately dumbfounded. Even when he left Xiaoling, he was still thinking over and over in his heart, what did the emperor mean by sending someone to give this "gift"?

He mentioned this to the staff around him, and one of them screamed in surprise.
