Early the next morning, when the first person was called, Yuzhu entered the Yangxin Hall alone.
The first couple the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor call must be Yuzhu, and they are alone!
The political king is so awesome!
"The king of political affairs, my minister Yuzhu, respectfully greets my mother, the empress dowager, your Majesty."
Saying this, in fact, Yuzhu just bowed to the ground.
This is another one of the privileges of the political king.
This is complete phase power!
"Yili!" The little emperor shouted, then shut his mouth tightly.
As usual, Yuzhu reported all the major events of the court one by one according to the details listed by Zhang Tingyu.
At the end, Yuzhu said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, your Majesty, due to the tight situation on the front line, I will soon go to Zhangjiakou in person to command the imperial army and destroy the rebel army led by the traitor Yunzhen."
Empress Dowager Cikang knew that success or failure depended on this.
Victory, everything will be smooth from now on!
If defeated, the old Tong family will be wiped out!
"Go." Even though there were thousands of words, in the end, they only turned into two words: "Go."
Yuzhu took a few steps back and was about to turn around and leave the Yangxin Hall when he suddenly heard the little emperor's trembling voice: "Brother Zhu, we must win! I promise you that when the master returns home in triumph, it will be the day when the prince will be conferred.
I will never let you down."
Well, if Yuzhu loses, he will definitely die, and the little emperor will definitely not survive!
If you ask who in the entire court is most aligned with Yuzhu, besides the Empress Dowager, it is the young emperor.
The three of them are already grasshoppers on the same line. If they want to die, they can only die together. At most, they can die separately.
After his speech, Yuzhu boarded the carriage in front of Donghua Gate.
The soldiers who were guarding the mark surrounded the huge carriage and headed towards Anding Gate in a mighty manner.
After leaving the city, the entire guard immediately turned west and moved quickly toward Huailai.
While resting in the middle of the journey, Wu Sheng spent a lot of money to rent out an entire teahouse on the roadside. The guards also cleared the place in advance and drove away all the idlers.
Yuzhu got off the carriage first, turned around and saw Peng Yingyue, supported by Hanxiang, stepping on a long bench and getting out of the car slowly.
Hehe, there is no need to say much when a real man is alive and has a beautiful car and beautiful woman.
The most troublesome thing about taking the women on the road is that there are no suitable clean rooms on both sides of the official road.
In the past, when the princes under his banner took the beauties out of Beijing on errands, if the beauties needed convenience on the way, they would ask the guards to block the official road, and the maids would pull up the curtains and put incense sticks inside.
Toilets to cover up people's eyes and ears.
Yuzhu is not so extravagant and arrogant, but when he takes a break, he buys a teahouse out of his wallet, which is fine!
When Peng Yingyue washed her hands and came out, she saw Yuzhu sitting by the window, sipping tea and cracking melon seeds.
"Sir, no wonder people often say that there is no beautiful scenery in the North. Along the way, there are no trees on the road." Peng Yingyue was the first to start the conversation.
Yuzhu smiled slightly and explained: "There is a lack of water in the north, and there is too much cultivated land, so all the trees have been cut down."
The capital of this era had a population of less than one million, and several rivers near the capital had not completely dried up, so it was hard to see anything.
When tens of millions of people gather in the capital, the problem of water shortage will become more and more prominent.
Not only Beijing, Tianjin is also a city severely short of water.
In the same way, the serious water shortage in the Western Regions has restricted the development of industry.
Without abundant water resources, modern industry cannot develop. This is an iron rule.
In fact, since modern times, the capitals of developed countries have been areas with abundant water resources and smooth shipping.
For example, the Tokyo metropolitan area has more than 36 million people, accounting for 28% of the total population of Japan.
After comprehensive consideration, Yuzhu always felt that the capital should be moved to Xiakou Hall in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Xiakou Hall is the famous Hankou Special City in later generations.
Before Principal Chang betrayed the progressive forces, Wuhan was once the temporary capital.
The hinterland of Hankou is the Jianghan Plain, a land of plenty, with Dabie Mountain as a barrier to the north and the intersection of Daba Mountain and Qinling Mountains to the west.
More importantly, as long as the Yangtze River Bridge is not built at a too low height, ocean-going ships of 20,000 tons can reach the riverside dock in Hankou directly.
Industrial products produced in Wuhan, after being loaded on ships, can be shipped out to sea along the Yangtze River and directly to London, England.
The world of the future will definitely be an ocean world. Only countries that embrace the ocean will have a future.
Of course, this is just Yuzhu's personal plan. Moving the capital in the future will definitely encounter many obstacles.
Peng Yingyue smiled brightly and chatted with Yuzhu. From the beginning to the end, she did not mention the other four peerless Jiangnan beauties.
Yuzhu also pretended to be confused, but after all, he had seen a lot of beautiful women and enjoyed them a lot.
If he has no brains and doesn't know how to take the initiative to come up with a way to stand out, there is nothing Yuzhu can do to help him.
That night, Yuzhu stayed in Huailai County.
Coincidentally, not far to the north of Huailai County is the famous Tumu Fort.
I remember that back then, the Mingbao Sect allowed Wang Zhen to mess around, which resulted in the loss of all 200,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Army at the hands of Wala Yexian.
In addition to the Battle of Tumubao, Yuzhu, as a famous commander, paid more attention to another famous battle that took place in Huailai County: the New Security Battle.
In fact, just as Huang Botao forgot to build a few more pontoon bridges on the Yellow River, Guo Jingyun, commander of the 35th Army, was also defeated by being too arrogant.
Obviously, the 35th Army had already broken through the frontal defense line of Yang Luogeng's advance troops. As a result, this guy actually ordered to rest in the new security guard for a night.
This night of rest, just this night, made Guo Jingyun finally defeated and committed suicide.
When Yuzhu entered the county seat, the local magistrate learned the news and rushed out to greet him.
The General Staff Headquarters and the security guards have about two thousand people. It is obviously unrealistic for so many people to live in an inn.
Yuzhu cordially received the magistrate, who led the way and led Yuzhu into the county government office.
The General Staff followed Yuzhu and stationed inside the county government office, while the large guard force occupied the barracks of the local green battalion soldiers.
The old rule of the new army is to bring ten days' worth of pancakes with you during the march.
When conditions permit, boil the cakes soaked in water and eat them. Without that condition, I'm sorry, I can only swallow a mouthful of cold water from the water bag and a mouthful of cakes.
So, in the open space behind the county government office, firewood was set up, a large pot was hung, and several large pots of fragrant mutton bone soup were cooked.
The local Li Zhixian was also very good at getting things done. In addition to slaughtering sheep and chickens, he also forcibly hired chefs from several restaurants to cook several appetizers in large pots on the spot.
Entertaining Yuzhu is definitely different.
However, Yuzhu didn't want to trouble Li Zhixian.
The truth is actually obvious. Every time Yuzhu makes a small request, Li Zhixian will definitely make more efforts to entertain the people in the county.
As the saying goes, if your boss is good, your subordinates will do the same.
Four dishes and one fish, fish stew in a wok with oatmeal noodles, pork sausage, scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, stir-fried dog sprouts and fried river prawns.
Yuzhu and Peng Yingyue sat opposite each other, only eating, not drinking.
Although there were not many dishes, they were all local specialties, and Yuzhu enjoyed them quite happily.
However, Peng Yingyue is a bit picky about food. She doesn't eat toon, fat sausage, or dog sprouts.
Yuzhu obviously saw it, but just pretended not to see it.
That's pretty good, right?
The soldiers of the First Battalion of the Guards outside ate soup and cakes with some side dishes, and that was all they needed to deal with their stomachs.
However, Peng Yingyue really liked eating fish. She ate half the pot of fish by herself.
The next morning, after Yuzhu had breakfast, Magistrate Li came to see him off.
Before going out, Li Zhixian suddenly said to Yuzhu: "Your Majesty, the expenses last night were not small. They spent seventy taels of silver. The county's funds are really limited. Look... this..."
Yuzhu was slightly startled, and after carefully looking at Li Zhixian's expression, he suddenly realized that Daqing wanted to ask him to reimburse last night's entertainment expenses?
Well, not bad, not bad, really good!
Yuzhu was so happy that he immediately ordered Wu Sheng to take out one hundred taels of silver and give it to Li Zhixian in person.
"Anything more will be considered as your own hard work." Yuzhu made an excuse and wanted to reward Magistrate Li.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhixian refused to take thirty taels of change and an extra tael of silver.
After such push and rejection, Yuzhu immediately remembered the name of Li Zhixian: Li Shanming.
On the way to Xuanhua Mansion, Peng Yingyue said with a smile: "That County Magistrate Li must have deliberately wanted to attract your attention."
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but think of a famous saying: A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
In the same way, who doesn’t want to rise to the top and become a successful person?
The guy who openly says he doesn't want to be promoted must be a hypocrite and a real villain. You must avoid him at a distance.
In today's officialdom, who doesn't want Jane to be in the king's heart?
However, for a small seventh-rank magistrate, let alone Jian who is in the king's heart, even if he wants to meet Yuzhu, it is harder than reaching the sky.
Yuzhu is also an old bureaucrat. How could he not know that everyone can change the trick, it just depends on how it changes?
This is like copying a large number of articles in the world, and it depends on whether you can copy them or not. The principle is the same.
After so many years, due to fear of the old emperor's suspicion, Yuzhu's subordinates actually had few close civil servants.
At best, they are just a few old subordinates such as Shanxi Governor Yang Sen.
In the future, after taking control of the national political power, there will be countless places where people will be needed.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
If Li Shanming didn't take the initiative to mention the reimbursement of entertainment expenses, it would be impossible for Yuzhu to remember his name.
In the same way, if the other four Jiangnan beauties who were transformed into maids by Peng Yingyue tried their best to attract Yu Zhu's attention, Yu Zhu would naturally regard them as not wanting to get closer.
In the officialdom, officials who take the initiative to move closer to Yuzhu, that is, take the initiative to stand in line, should receive a certain level of reward.
This is a common logic, and it has the same purpose as the horse bones that encourage latecomers.
Shortly after passing Baoan Prefecture, Yuzhu received an urgent tip from the front line. The Zhili Admiral stationed at Gubeikou lowered the two men out of the city in a bamboo basket at night.
