After Yunxi passed through Binzhou, he arrived at the jurisdiction of the Chief Envoy of Peking.
Yunxi quickly passed through Cangzhou and came to Jinghai County in Hejian Prefecture. When he arrived in Jinghai County, Yunxi slowed down again and started slowly from Jinghai County towards Weihe River.
The Wei River was the Haihe River of Tianbao in later generations, but at this time there was no administrative unit of Tianbao. Yunxi came to the Wei River, walked to what was estimated to be the urban area of Tianbao in later generations, and looked around.
This is the first time in this life that Yunxi has come to a place he has been to in his previous life, and he feels nostalgic. However, the Tianbao area at this time must be completely different from that of later generations. After all, Tianbao Guard was established in the second year of Yongle. At this time, even Tianbao Guard
No, this is still a farmland, and countless farmers are working hard in the fields.
Yunxi missed his past life in Tianbao for a while. After all, Tianbao was not his hometown yet, and there was not much to miss.
However, while walking along the Wei River, Yunxi thought in his heart: The rise of Tianbao is all due to the capital being set in Beiping. Otherwise, how could it surpass so many places with superior geographical locations in the south and become the top ten or even fifth in the country?
city! Can Tianhao in this world still reach such heights?
On the ninth day of September, Zhu Di heard the news at Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping City and said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun has arrived in Cangzhou on the eighth day of September."
Zhu Di said calmly: "Go down."
When the messenger went down, Dao Yan, who was sitting on the side, said, "Your Highness should accompany the princess today, and the prince should go to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. Why bother thinking about these troublesome things today."
Zhu Di stood up and said, "I don't have the time to celebrate the festival!" After walking a few steps, he said again, "Oh! It would be great if there was a way to get rid of Yunxi. Yunxi is in Peiping now, and I have to go to Shanhaiguan to meet him tomorrow.
He is really unwilling!"
Dao Yan said: "Your Highness, haven't we already discussed this many times! The emperor's grandson has more than two thousand guards accompanying him. It is simply not feasible to hire bandits. Poisoning and the like are not feasible or not, but if something goes wrong in Peiping,
It has nothing to do with His Highness."
"If you ask the Mongolian tribes to make a sneak attack on His Highness the Emperor Taisun when he is patrolling to the front line of the Great Wall, not to mention how many Mongolian tribes there are now with more than 5,000 men. Even if the sneak attack is successful, there is no guarantee that no one will be captured. When the time comes, His Highness will be surrendered.
I regret it so much."
Zhu Di said: "I know, but I'm just unwilling. Tomorrow I will set off to Shanhaiguan to meet Yunxi. Don't worry, Yunxi won't see any clues."
The two talked about other things. While they were discussing, Princess Xu sent a eunuch to ask Zhu Di: "The princess sent a servant to ask your highness. Now that the matter has been taken care of, I am waiting for you to go to the Double Ninth Festival."
Zhu Di said: "I understand." Then he turned to Dao Yan and said: "Master,..."
Dao Yan stood up and said with a smile: "The prince has gone to the Double Ninth Festival, and the poor monk has returned to the temple." Then he stepped back. Zhu Di also followed the eunuch to the backyard of the palace.
After Yunxi passed Tianbao, he went straight to Shanhaiguan and arrived at Shanhaiguan on September 12th. At this time, Zhu Di was still rushing to Shanhaiguan unhurriedly. Even Ning Wang Zhu Quan and Liao Wang Zhu Zhi had not arrived.
When Yunxi left Qingzhou, he had already sent people to Guangning Prefecture (now Beizhen County, Liaoshen Province), the fief of King Zhu Zhi of Liao, and Daning (now Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia), the fief of King Ning Zhu Quan, to inform them about September. Go to Shanhaiguan and wait for him around fifteen.
However, since Yunxi originally said that he would arrive here on September 15th, although he was surprised that the king of Liao, who was so far away, did not arrive earlier, and planned to question Zhu Zhi after he arrived, he still had a good time traveling around the mountains and rivers. .
Yunxi had been to Shanhaiguan in his previous life, and the Shanhaiguan after renovation did not look much different from the Shanhaiguan that was under annual maintenance at this time. Yunxi was not interested in seeing more, but took the opportunity to inspect the surrounding health centers and tour the mountains. There is no conflict between playing in the water and patrolling the guard station.
I don't know if it's like this on weekdays, or because I knew he was coming. Every guard post he inspected was fully equipped with weapons, complete fortresses, and the morale of the soldiers was high. Yunxi was not at ease, and asked Lan Zhen and others who had a strong family background. .Lan Zhen also accompanied Yunxi to inspect the various guard posts. After seeing them, he definitely said that the soldiers in these guard posts were indeed elite and not corrupt. However, inspecting these guard posts aroused Yunxi's thoughts.
When Yunxi passed by Yongping Prefecture and Kaiping Zhongtun Guards, he learned that the Kaiping Guards were still in the old city of Kaiping in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, not in Tangshan today. He immediately remembered what he saw when he was reading "History of the Ming Dynasty" in his previous life. There are shocking records of Zhu Di giving up a large amount of territory in the north after he became emperor.
After Zhu Di came to the throne, he abandoned Kaiping Old City, Xinghe Old City, Xincheng Guard, Fuyu Guard, Huizhou Guard, Yumu Guard, Quaning Guard, Yingzhou City, Xingzhou City, and Xing. He Qianhusuo, abandoned Daning City, abandoned Kuanhe Qianhusuo, etc.
These abandoned land practices abandoned or moved all the layers of guard posts that Lao Zhu spent more than 20 years building to protect the Youyan area, making Beiping City, which was originally protected by layers of protection, become the second defense against the Mongols. On the first line, he asked for the idea of "the emperor guarding the country". Originally, even if he moved the capital to Peking, there would be no need for him to guard the country.
Zhu Di was generally a good emperor when he was the emperor, but because he was in the wrong position, in order to make himself appear to be the orthodox heir, and to prevent other princes from following the same example of rebellion, he did many wrong things. Some things were right. This was one of the wrong things he did that had a very bad impact on the history of later generations.
Yunxi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, finally got out of his thoughts. Then Yunxi walked down Shanhaiwei, saw that it was getting late, and returned to his residence.
On the way back to where they were staying, Tong Yong and Yun Xi, students who graduated from the Jiangwu Hall, said: "Your Highness, when will you go to Zunhuawei, my hometown, for inspection?" All the 'unassigned' students from the Jiangwu Hall along the way were talking to Yun Xi. He was familiar with him, so Tong Yong dared to speak like this.
Yunxi smiled and said: "Don't worry, you will pass by Zunhua Guard on the way to Peiping in a few days, and I will definitely go on inspection then."
When Yunxi returned to the place where he stayed, someone suddenly announced: Guo Zhen is here.
Yunxi was very surprised because Guo Zhen was the person he left in Yanzhou to handle the follow-up of the corruption case. Why did he pursue him now?
Yunxi immediately asked Guo Zhen to come in. When Guo Zhen came in, he asked: "Is the Yanzhou corruption case over? Or has the Holy Emperor sent another minister to investigate?"
Guo Zhen said: "Your Highness, the Holy One has sent another minister to continue investigating the case."
Yunxi asked: "Who did the Holy Spirit send?"
Guo Zhen said: "This is Tie Xuan, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. Your Majesty has appointed him as the prefect of Yanzhou."
When Yunxi heard this name, he immediately slapped his head. Because Tiexuan had not been very outstanding in the court in the past two years, and the Ministry of Justice where he worked had no direct contact with Yunxi, so Yunxi forgot about him. , Guo Zhen only remembered it now that he mentioned it.
But he was already far away from Shandong, and he didn't pass through Shandong on his way back. If he wanted to get in touch with Tie Xuan and cultivate feelings, he had to tell him. 'Let's wait until Tie Xuan returns to Beijing to report on his work.' Yunxi thought.
