The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 7 Lonely Zhu Chongba
This was Zhu Ying's first time rushing through the post station.

Compared with the past, the feeling of the post station is similar to the difference between the high-speed rail and the green train in later generations.

The Daming Station is directly operated by the government, and private use by the people is prohibited.

The summary of post stations is almost the same as the express logistics of later generations. Before Zhu Yuanzhang took down Yuandu, he began to restore and rebuild various post stations in Daming.

Earlier, there was a son-in-law who was given to death by Zhu Yuanzhang because he used the post station to pull four carts of goods without permission.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance and strictness to the post station.

Now Daming's post station mainly relies on the relay method.

There is a station in twenty miles.

For example, in the early eight hundred li rush, it started from the capital and set up the order of the post stations. The postmen took the decree and galloped on horseback to the next post station for delivery.

That's it, continue to pass the relay, reaching a speed of [-] miles a day.

From Nanjing to Peiping, the straight line is [-] kilometers, equivalent to [-] miles.

Counting these detours, it's about two thousand miles away.

Eight hundred li is expedited, and it will arrive in three days. In today's Daming, it is not unpleasant.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Di and others to use such methods when they set off from Beiping. It would be good if they can travel two hundred miles a day.

And you can't rush day and night, you will rest at the post station when it gets dark.

The post station is free for all officials who use it, including food and accommodation, and such important events as King Yan's return to Beijing.

Every time a stage passes, the horses will be changed to maintain horsepower, and the speed is fast.

But even so, it took eleven days to reach the city of Nanjing.

For the first three days, Zhu Gaochi and Yao Guangxiao could still chat with gusto, but when they got to the back, they basically got on the bus and lay down.

After a day of turbulence, I fell asleep when I arrived at the post station.

A fat man, an old man in his 50s, can't bear such a long journey.

After getting off the bus in Nanjing, only Zhu Ying was still in high spirits, and the others were already exhausted.

"Brother Ying, when you first came to the capital, you probably don't have a place to stay. Bring your guards and go rest with us."

It was difficult for Zhu Gaochi to speak.He just wanted to go to the mansion to sleep quickly.

"Then thank the eldest prince."

Zhu Ying nodded in response.

Among the group, only Zhu Di's mental state is the same as Zhu Ying's, which may be because he has great hopes for himself.

As a vassal king, Zhu Di naturally has his own house in the inner city of the capital, and of course it is usually a reward from His Majesty.

There are a bunch of prince's mansions and county prince's mansions on this side of the inner city.

There are also the General's Mansion of Zhenguo, the General's Mansion of Fuguo, and the General's Mansion of Fengguo.

When it came to General Fengguo, it was granted by the great-grandson.

The fourth grandson who has not yet come out is Lieutenant Zhenguo, the fifth grandson is Fuguo lieutenant, and the sixth grandson is Fengguo lieutenant.

Zhu Yuanzhang has basically arranged these matters for future generations in the emperor's ancestor's instructions.

It took Zhu Di eleven days to go from Beiping to Nanjing, more than 2000 miles away, which is considered very fast.

Some nearby vassal kings have basically arrived, but they are still relatively far away, especially the king of Shu, which may be delayed for a few days.

After all, the road to Shu is difficult, and the journey is much slower.

There are still seven days to go before the day of mourning set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

All the streets and shops in Nanjing have been hung with white cloth.

And at night in Nanjing, a curfew has been imposed, and the bustling Qinhuai River is also completely dark.

The Palace of the King of Yan in the capital is still very large. Even if the King of Yan didn't live here, there were servants and maidservants to clean it.

Zhu Ying brought more than ten people to live in, and they didn't feel crowded.

It was not until the next morning that most people recovered from their exhaustion.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't wait to take Zhu Ying to visit Nanjing City.

The prince Zhu Biao was an uncle to Zhu Gaochi, and he didn't have much contact with him. Naturally, it didn't mean that there was too much sadness, but at most he was a little emotional.

But Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness is dead now, Eldest Prince, as the eldest son of King Yan, you will definitely be crowned heir in the future."

"If at this time, the news about going out to play is spread, I'm afraid there may be some twists and turns in the future."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately came to his senses, looking at Zhu Ying with gratitude.

How could he not know that his father didn't want to see him, if he was really caught.

Perhaps the first person to abolish his status as the son of the eldest son is probably the father king.

"Thank you Brother Ying."

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi bowed deeply to Zhu Ying.

"Eldest Prince, don't do this." Zhu Ying hurriedly supported him.

The two of them could only stay in this courtyard until the day of condolence came.

Zhu Ying didn't shy away from the two chatting in the yard, and asked Steward Zhang to take a few people to the capital to see what shops were worth buying.

Although the environment in King Yan's Mansion is good, there is always a feeling of being under the fence.

Prince Zhu Biao died, and the kings offered their condolences.

At the fastest it will take nearly two months.

It is impossible for Zhu Ying to live in Prince Yan's Mansion for two months. He has many secrets, which are obviously extremely unchanged and easily exposed.

Hearing that Zhu Ying wanted to buy a shop, Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and said: "My house is on the edge of Qinhuai, the capital, and it seems that there is a teahouse."

"After I tell my father, I will send it to Brother Yu Ying."

Yan Wang Zhu Di still has some property in the capital, but basically he doesn't care much about it.

Of course, Zhu Gaochi is well aware of the importance his father attaches to Zhu Ying.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so polite to Zhu Ying.

I really thought that as the eldest son of Prince Yan's mansion, he was so easy to talk to everyone.It's unlikely that someone else will take care of it.

Zhu Ying's eyes flickered when he heard this, and then he said bluntly: "Then I will trouble the eldest prince."

The Daming Palace, the Hall of Renzhi, and the Funeral Palace are located.

Standing in front of Zhu Biao's coffin, Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little stooped, with a dead silence in his eyes.

Unlike when Queen Ma died, after Zhu Biao died, he did not cry loudly, his whole body was like a quiet piece of wood.

However, the surrounding guards, eunuchs, and court ladies were already prostrate on the ground, trembling with fear.

In the apse of the Hall of Renzhi, dozens of court ladies and eunuchs who had served Prince Zhu Biao had all been executed and buried.

Next to the coffin, Zhu Yunqi, who was only 15 years old, knelt on the futon on the ground, dressed in white, and sobbed hoarsely.

Only when Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned to Zhu Yunqi, could there be a slight anger.

He hadn't eaten for a day, but the eunuchs and guards didn't dare to persuade him.

The one who persuaded him last time is now lying in the apse, ready to accompany the prince.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang's back gradually straightened.

There was no sigh, only silently turned and left.

My sister is gone, my grandson is gone, and now my son is gone too.

Only Zhu Chongba was left.

That's it.

In the following years, there will be no more Zhu Chongba, only the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang! ! !
