For Zhu Si, just taking the train is a pleasant experience.

Probably only the leisurely emperor would have the mind to appreciate the scenery along the way. It is only early spring at this time, and there is basically no green in the wilderness. Because of the existence of trains along the way, the ordinary post roads are also more busy. Passers-by in a hurry.

"What's going on there? It's so lively."

Zhu Si asked, pointing to the nearby construction site.

Zhang Zuo was always worried. Seeing that Zhu Si had almost pressed his face to the window glass, he quickly issued a reminder: "Your Majesty, don't get too close to the window, it's dangerous."

Zhu Si simply ignored him.

At this time, the commander of Jin Yiwei, Wang Zuo, stood by and explained to Zhu Si: "Return to your majesty, that is to build a new station. Mr. Zhu has ordered more stations to be built along the railway line, and different trains stop at different stations. It is not only convenient for villagers to travel, but also can stockpile goods, and can also be used for emergencies.”

Zhu Si asked: "Can't the goods be stored in Xishan and the capital?"

Wang Zuodao: "There are a lot of warehouses in Xishan Warehouse, but if the capital is in urgent need, or cannot be transported to the capital in time, and many places are empty halfway, this can maximize the use of space along the way, and can also prosper the place, forming a market town centered on the station to meet the needs of the people. More people are employed."

Zhu Si admired: "Look at Jingdao, his thinking is different from ordinary people, he has thought of everything, no wonder he is the only one who can build a train."

No one around spoke.

They all knew very well that the emperor's trust in Zhu Hao had reached an unbelievable level. If Zhu Hao farted, Zhu Si would also say that the fragrance was terribly fragrant, and he could find a hundred reasons for the fragrance.

"Very good, I want to sit on the train all the time, this thing is much more comfortable than staying in the palace!"

……

……

It was not until Zhu Si arrived at Xishan that he realized what is beyond the sky.

He originally thought that the capital city was the most prosperous place in the world, but compared to Xishan New City, the capital city is like a primitive tribe. Looking at the well-arranged buildings distributed along the foothills, Zhu Si saw something for the first time It's called an industrial city, although it's just a small town that's so elementary that it can't be more elementary.

"Why is this place so spectacular?"

Zhu Si got off the train and asked, pointing to the tall buildings in the distance.

At this time, the train station was empty.

Ordinary people are only allowed to approach the station during the time period when there are passenger trains passing by. The passenger station and the freight station are separated, which is for the convenience of stacking goods in the open space around the freight station.

"Your Majesty, those buildings are for workers to live in. The land of this city is limited, and it will be difficult to accommodate so many people if it does not develop to the sky. Look, there is a very tall chimney!"

Zhang Zuo was also very curious, pointing to the chimney that was billowing smoke in the distance, "I remember the last time I came here, I didn't have it yet."

At this time, Lu Song, who came to greet Shengjia on the platform, hurriedly saluted Zhu Si.

Zhu Si said with a smile: "Lu Qianhu, there is no need to be too polite, otherwise it will be easy for people to see through... I must not reveal my identity when I am outside! By the way, my trip will not affect the normal operation here, right?"

Even if he met Lu Song, he couldn't say it clearly, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's arrival, everything will be unaffected, passenger and freight trains can leave at any time!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Si nodded, "I saw that there was another railroad track next to me, and I kept wondering why there was no train coming in the opposite direction. In fact, I still affected the sending of trains from Xishan. Jingdao told me before that coal from Xishan can be directly It was transported to the capital, and then transported to the south of the Yangtze River through the Grand Canal. I still didn't believe it, but now I finally believe it.

"Lu Qing's family, quickly show me around, I want to have a good look!"

……

……

Zhu Si arrived in Xishan after noon, and in the following afternoon, he almost ran all over the city.

At sunset, Zhu Si still had plans to go to the place where Zhu Sanxiu had a Taoist temple, but because he was exhausted at this time, he was asked to go to the palace first to rest... Actually, there is no palace built here, but there are good attractions. There is a three-story villa with the style of later generations for Zhu Si to live in.

When he arrived at the place, seeing the modern decoration and many novelty furniture, Zhu Si was satisfied.

At this time Zhang Zuo came over and said, "Your lord is already waiting outside."

Zhu Si smiled.

This time when he came to Xishan, he did not bring a queen or concubine, but only Gongyeling. Although Gongyeling also had the opportunity to enter the palace, she had never been given a formal title. It was all settled, but Empress Dowager Jiang firmly disagreed, and Zhu Si did not force it for the time being in order to prevent himself from being infamous.

The main reason is that Gong Yeling is not pregnant.

Usually Zhu Si dotes on Gongyeling very much, and he also made it clear that as long as there is movement in Gongyeling's stomach, he will be named a noble concubine, but it is a pity that Gongyeling's stomach is not up to date, if she can conceive, maybe she can really give birth to Daming Prince.

Zhu Sidao: "Let her come over later, I will do something serious first... Is there any important memorial for me to review?"

At times like this, Zhu Si wanted to pretend to be a wise gentleman.

Zhang Zuozhi faltered: "Your Majesty, I have received a secret memorial from Mr. Zhu from Tianjin."

"Say!"

Seeing Zhang Zuo's appearance, Zhu Si knew that nothing good would happen.

Zhang Zuo said: "Mr. Zhu begs His Majesty to allow him to go to the south of the Yangtze River for two months..."

"no!"

Zhu Si's attitude was extremely firm, "The one who promised me, he will come back in one month, how could he be allowed to go for another two months? If I don't break my promise, he can't break his promise either!"

Zhang Zuo sighed and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Mr. Zhu wants to pacify the sea area of ​​Daming... It is said that the southeast sea is very serious now, and the Daming navy has gone to the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in three batches. This is a battle to completely pacify the sea area. , it is said that after this battle, the bandits will have no more chances on the coastline!"

"That can't let him go in person, and immediately send an order to let him come back!"

Zhu Si did not discuss with anyone this time and acted arbitrarily. From his point of view, Zhu Hao is the guarantee for the stability of his throne. From the beginning of his ascension to the current subduing of those civil servants, it seems that Zhu Hao was planning. Si took it for granted that without Zhu Hao, he might even lose the throne.

"Yes!"

Zhang Zuo obviously had nothing to say, but seeing that the emperor's face was not good at this moment, he dared not say any more.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhu Si was already in a bad mood because of Zhu Hao's request to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and it seemed that the joy of coming to Xishan today disappeared.

Zhang Zuo said: "There are still some things that the Li Supervisor can handle on his own."

"Then you guys go and deal with it, I'm going to rest first."

Zhu Si showed a relieved smile, "Such a good place, I must build a palace for me in the city later, this place is close to the capital, I will come and have a look if I have nothing to do... Hey, this is the city that belongs to me completely .”

Zhang Zuo and others were thinking that this place was not as strong as the strong fortress in the capital as a guarantee.

Ordinary thieves naturally couldn't threaten the safety here, but if the Tatars came suddenly, they were afraid that the defenders would have no danger to defend, and they would suffer disaster.

……

……

Beijing.

In Zhang Cong's house, a piece of confidential information was brought by Huo Tao and handed over to Zhang Cong.

"Taoist Zhu Jing was in Bohai, and he offered to go to the southeast coast to wipe out bandits? What did he think?" After reading the secret report, Zhang Cong felt hesitant.

He tried every means to drive Zhu Hao out of the court and make Zhu Hao fall out of favor in front of the emperor, but it seemed that Zhu Hao didn't care at all, and even played some unconventional means, which Zhang Cong couldn't understand at all.

Huo Tao said: "I'm afraid that he just bluffed his shot, and he will come back to the capital later."

"Ah."

Zhang Cong nodded.

He also didn't believe that Zhu Hao would put aside his affairs in the capital and go to the south of the Yangtze River. How would this benefit him?
Huo Tao said again: "There is also news from the palace that His Majesty has gone to Xishan, and will definitely stop the court tomorrow morning, but the old ministers of the court do not know yet."

Today's Zhang Cong is no longer Wuxia Amon. In order to fight against Zhu Hao, he is recruiting all possible forces, and he has the support of the benefactor behind the scenes. Not only can he obtain information through internal relationships, but he can even be bought by money. key person.

"Is it reliable?" Zhang Cong asked.

"Yes!" Huo Tao said.

Zhang Cong smiled and nodded: "Perhaps we can leak this news a little bit."

"This……"

Huo Tao hesitated.

You actually disclosed to those ministers what the emperor didn't want people to know?What those ministers would do if they knew, it must be that the emperor put the country and the country as the most important thing, don't indulge in leisure and so on... After all, the lessons learned by Emperor Zhengde before were too terrible, and it was an unbearable memory for civil servants.

Zhang Cong has his own plans.

If the emperor went to Xishan when he had nothing to do, the persuasion of the civil servants might form a threat to the emperor and make the emperor feel in danger, because Zhu Hao was not in the capital at this time, and the emperor would definitely rely on him.

And it can make Zhu Hao, who is in charge of Xishan affairs, become a thorn in the side of civil servants.

Didn't the civil servants headed by Fei Hong not want to attack Zhu Hao?Then I will help you and give you a reason why you have to do something to him, that is, he wants to make the new emperor a fool like the Zhengde emperor, and you will be eager to see a second Zhengde emperor from Ming Dynasty?
Zhang Cong said: "Remember, don't let people know that I released this news, just inform the Yushi Yanguan, as for the elders of the pavilion, don't leak it at all, it's best for them to be late! Lest they find out later , On the contrary, it will prevent people from coming out to persuade them.”

This is very skillful.

Zhang Cong could see that on the issue of the ceremony before, the higher the civil servants, the more cowardly they were. In the end, when Zuo Shunmen knelt down to remonstrate, there was only a servant and a few academicians from the Imperial Academy. They are all on the sidelines.

Just like that, they are still expected to deal with Zhu Hao?
Huo Tao sighed, "I'm afraid it would be risky to do so."

"It's impossible not to take risks!"

Zhang Cong said, "Currently, Zizhen's mission in Yuyao is not going well. I have sent someone to urge him to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Zhu Jingdao is not in the capital, so it is a good opportunity for us to make a move."

"Ah."

Huo Tao nodded, but he doubted Zhang Cong's ability in his heart.

After all, Zhang Cong was full of expectations for Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian's return to the court, and hoped that the two would form a restraint on Zhu Hao after returning to the court, but now it seems that instead of working, they will become enemies of their own faction.

In this way, you still want to confront Zhu Jingdao. Could it be that the mantis is acting as a cart?
"Then recently, can I do the top performance?" Huo Tao asked again before leaving.

"Are you crazy?"

Zhang Cong asked sharply, "Which side are you from?"

Huo Tao also wanted to ask, which side do you want us to be on?
Obviously standing on the position of the emperor, but betraying the information to let the other party know, so you still call yourself a loyal minister?At least Zhu Jingdao never betrayed the emperor, right?
Huo Tao said: "If Zhu Shilang catches the opportunity, I'm afraid we will fall into a situation beyond redemption."

"Will not!"

Zhang Cong said, "No one is willing to stand by him now, there is only Xu Zisheng beside him, nothing to be afraid of!"
