Returning to his hometown where he had lived for more than 20 years, Zhu Di was very happy and in high spirits. He should have gone straight to the palace, but Zhu Di was so excited that he walked around. Accompanied by officials such as Qiu Fu and Luo Qian,
I purposely wandered around the streets of Peking for a long time.
Seeing that the streets of Beijing have become much wider, with residential buildings lined up in rows, and many houses have been built in areas that were once empty. In the streets and alleys, hook-up tiles, taverns and teahouses are also springing up. The whole city of Beijing has a new look and is more prosperous.
Zhu Di was very happy.
He smiled and said to Qiu Fu and others: "When I first conquered Beiping, Beiping's wealth, silk, and population were plundered by the Yuan people when they fled north, and it was extremely depressed. After more than 20 years of construction, it has improved again, but it has never been as prosperous as it is today.
Later, when I was unable to raise an army, the city of Beijing suffered many losses and the city was once again in depression. In just two years, it became as prosperous as it is today, and all the ministers are indispensable to it!"
Qiu Fu hurriedly said: "The emperor's praise is not due to the credit of the veteran and others. Since the emperor promoted Peiping to Beijing, established the city, and moved residents from various places to fill the population of Beijing, Beijing has begun to regain prosperity and become what it is today. The veteran just
He is a rough man who has nothing to do but train soldiers and fight in wars. Even if there is some hard work in running the place, it is only the ability of Master Luo and other officials!"
Luo Qian smiled and waved his hands, showing humility in his busy work.
The four seasons in the north are distinct, and the air is not as wet and humid as in the south. Zhu Di joined Peiping before he was a weak crown. He has lived here longer than in his hometown and is very adapted to the northern climate. As soon as he arrived here, he felt refreshed and energetic.
There was plenty of food, and it was especially comfortable compared to the south. I didn’t want to go back and rest for a while, so I just wandered around the streets, giving advice and talking and laughing from time to time.
While walking, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something and asked Qiu Fu: "I heard that Yang Xu has taken all the captured Tatar soldiers to Beijing?"
Qiu Fu quickly glanced at Luo Qian and replied: "Yes! Tens of thousands of captured soldiers and dozens of captured generals are now being held in the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing. They are only waiting to present the prisoner ceremony to the emperor.
Arrange them. Will the Emperor go and see them?"
Zhu Di was really interested in going to take a look, but he was the emperor now, and he had his own rules for every move. If Yu Zun deigned and went to the barracks to watch the surrender of prisoners with great interest, the officials accompanying him and those in Beijing would probably chatter endlessly.
, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "I won't go. When Yang Xu arrives in Beijing and presents the prisoners, I will naturally be able to see them. Well, how do you plan to deal with these prisoners?"
Luo Qian then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, for the captured generals, we should follow the laws of the imperial court. Those who should be imprisoned should be imprisoned, and those who should be beheaded should be beheaded. As for those captured soldiers, I plan to disperse them according to the example of Liaodong.
Resettlement, registration and naturalization. Those who were our subjects in the Ming Dynasty were bound to be uneasy at first, but with careful supervision by the local government, as time went by, they took root and naturally no longer had different thoughts."
Zhu Di nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Okay! This method is very good! You and I, the common people in Beijing, Zhang Wang, Li Zhao, all over the world, our ancestors are not Xianbei, Xiongnu, Khitan, Jurchen, Bohai, etc., they are the same as me Han people
They lived in different places, intermarried and multiplied, learned Chinese, wore Hanfu, changed their surnames to Chinese, and were born in Han areas, and now they are Han Chinese.
In the whole world, is it the land of the king. On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king. I own the world, and my mind should be as broad as the world. If I cannot tolerate them, how can they be willing to be my people? Let's arrange them like this.
This is a good deal! Haha, this Yang Xu, I really underestimated him, Yun Yunwu is really my right helper."
Luo Qian smiled and said: "What the emperor said is that Yang Xu is indeed an official of the imperial court. I dare not hide anything from the emperor. Yang Xu is still young, and the various tribes in Liaodong live together, and there are powerful enemies outside. The situation is very complicated, so we can only
Those who are not good at martial arts will not be able to rule Liaodong! Those who are good at martial arts but not refined will surely come back defeated. When the emperor first sent Yang Xu to manage Liaodong, I was very worried, but unexpectedly..., the emperor has a keen eye like a torch, and I am sincerely convinced!"
Zhu Di laughed loudly after hearing this.
Chen Shou, who participated in politics in Beijing, smiled and said: "Officials in Beijing, big and small, are most aware of Yang Xu's every move in Liaodong, so they also admire them the most. After Yang Xu arrived in Liaodong, the first thing he did was not to defend foreigners, but to
It is to vigorously develop the economy of Liaodong, open up commerce and farmland, and develop industry and animal husbandry. People of all ethnic groups in Liaodong have benefited from it, and they regard Yang Xu as the Buddha of thousands of families and respect him!
Because of this united will, we won great victories against the Tatars in both battles. The various ethnic groups in Liaodong who surrendered to our Ming Dynasty, including the three guards of Uliangha, were originally rebellious and often caused troubles, causing local officials great headaches.
But now they are very well-behaved. Yang Xu conducted a strategy in Liaodong, first benefiting the people economically and winning the hearts of the people; then he defeated the Tatars in two battles and killed the son of the Tatar Grand Master Arutai, establishing military prestige;
The shogunate officials were set up to control their government... Today's Liaodong is very different from before. Today's Liaodong is completely in the hands of the imperial court."
Zhu Di nodded slightly and said nothing.
When Zhang Lingyi, the minister of the Beijing Ministry of Finance, saw the emperor's praise of Duke Fu, he also cheerfully joked: "The emperor praised Beijing for its great changes and its new atmosphere. In fact, compared with the rapid changes in Liaodong, the changes here are far behind. Now
In Liaodong, martial arts were at their peak, and their teachings were popular. Military generals all hoped to make military exploits for the court and secure territories. However, the leaders of various clans sent their children to government schools to receive royal education. The soldiers and civilians in Liaodong all respected and obeyed Yang Xu.
, no one has ever been able to achieve this great situation of being able to respond to a hundred requests at once!"
Zhu Di said "Huh", and Zeng Liang, a minister in the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, smiled and said: "I also remembered one thing. Yang Xuxuan promoted Liaodong and became famous far and wide. Seeing this, the tribes who originally submitted to North Korea all submitted to our court.
North Korea was so angry that it sent envoys to Liaodong many times to negotiate with Yang Xu, but all failed to return..."
Before he finished speaking, someone next to him pulled his sleeve. If Zeng Liang noticed something, he immediately shut up.
Zhu Di glanced at him, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, I'm a little tired. Let's go back to the palace to rest."
Zhu Di's camp was the Prince's Mansion of Yan when he was King of Yan. It was the place where he had lived for more than 20 years, and he lived comfortably.
As soon as they arrived at the camp, the ministers resigned and dispersed. The emperor's entourage was busy arranging everyone's residence. The accompanying eunuch was a former member of the Yan Palace and was familiar with the original arrangements, so he arranged for the emperor and empress according to the old rules.
and everyone’s residence.
When Zhu Di resigned and dispersed, he left Qiu Fu and Luo Qian alone. He still wanted to ask clearly about the current detailed situation of Beijing and its surrounding counties. While leaving people behind, Zhu Di deliberately scanned the
In the eyes of the ministers, Tang Jie, the chief minister of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion in Beijing, also stayed behind.
Tang Jie held a high official position in Beijing, so he was always in front of Zhu Di. Zhu Di had already seen him look lonely. Although he forced a smile when he greeted him, he even looked uncomfortable when he heard people talking about Yang Xu, so he secretly stayed.
Heartbroken.
When he returned to the palace, he first asked Qiu Fu and Luo Qian to wait in the outer hall, then called Tang Jie in alone. After he had just finished saluting, he suddenly asked: "Tang Jie, I saw that you were accompanying me all the way, and you were depressed. Are you okay?"
What's on your mind?"
※※※※※※※
Xia Xun passed Shanhaiguan, and the large group of people was turning towards Beijing.
After passing Lulong that day, suddenly a dusty man came towards him and was quickly taken to Xia Xun's car.
This man's name is Wang Rufeng, he is also a member of Metallurg, but he used to be a pirate in Shuangyu.
Many members of Xia Xun's original team came from the Three Guards of Yanshan. There is no doubt about the loyalty and ability of these people, but they were the emperor's old troops, so most of them were left behind in the Feilong Secret Spy, while the main members of Qianlong were
Most of them were his close relatives whom he trained on Yangjiao Island in eastern Zhejiang. Now that Xia Xun wanted to find out about Beijing, for the sake of safety, he used another group of people who had nothing to do with the three Yanshan guards.
"My lord, the emperor has arrived in Beijing. Qiu Fu and Luo Qian led the officials in Beijing to greet..."
Wang Rufeng carefully reported the news in Beijing to Xia Xun. Most of the members of Qianlong Secret Agent only knew that their leader was named Xia Xun. Only a few of them knew that their boss’s true identity was Yang Xu, the Duke of Fu.
Those who know his true identity are naturally his direct descendants and absolute confidants.
Xia Xun listened quietly, interrupting to ask a few questions from time to time.
He came here to see him, firstly, to ask the emperor for instructions and report on Liaodong affairs; secondly, to request merit and receive rewards on behalf of Liaodong soldiers. Originally, there was no need to be so cautious. But in Kaiyuan, he beheaded Tang Jie's son, and he already knew that Tang Jie
Jie is a high-ranking official in the Fifth Army Governor's Office in Beijing and Qiu Fu's absolute confidant, so it is impossible not to pay attention to his movements.
He had an old grudge with Qiu Fu, and now he had killed Tang Jie's son. If he hadn't been wary of Tang Jie hanging around under his nose, he wouldn't be here today. Tang Jie's move
As soon as he made a move, he had already been under his surveillance, including Tang Jie running around Liaodong, collecting all kinds of information, and welcoming officials for communication after returning to Beijing.
However, it was impossible for him to find out some detailed information. For example, what Tang Jie said when he met him; after the emperor arrived in Beijing, the officials in Beijing praised him with ulterior motives. He would not know these things.
You may know. His intelligence agency is not that perverted and can penetrate into any situation and find out any information.
If he wanted to know more detailed information, it was not impossible. Among the officials who accompanied him on the Northern Patrol, there were officials who were good friends with him. Among the eunuchs around the emperor, there were also people he had befriended over the years.
You have to wait until he arrives in Beijing to get information from them. If you just send someone there casually, it's impossible for them to tell you the truth.
After listening to Wang Rufeng's report, Xia Xun did not hear any very critical news, so he said: "Qiu Fu was demoted to Beijing because of me, and Tang Jie's son was beheaded because of me. They have resentment towards me."
, you don’t need to guess, you will definitely say something hurtful to me in front of the emperor. Haha, it doesn’t matter, a man’s heart is magnanimous enough, but he doesn’t necessarily have to be an upright gentleman, and I, Yang Xu, am not a persimmon I just have to pinch!”
He knocked on the car window and ordered outside: "Speed up your journey and enter Beijing before sunset!"
: A chaotic battle is about to begin, with words and words. Please give me a recommendation vote!
