Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 318 Changling
It was really fast to walk by water, and Zhu Zhanhe didn't stop even at night. Instead, he had people take turns, running towards Shuntian Mansion non-stop.

At half past midnight of the next day, that is, close to noon, Zhu Zhanhe finally arrived in Tongzhou.

After getting off the ship, Zhu Zhanhe did not stop there. He did not even report to the palace and the Ministry of Rites, but directly headed towards Shuntian Mansion with an army of 3 people.

He looked menacing, as if he was planning to rebel and attack the imperial city.

However, although Zhu Zhanhe entered Shuntian Mansion, he did not enter Shuntian City, but went straight to the north.

There is a mountain about a hundred miles north of Sunchon City called Cheonshou Mountain.

This is where the Changling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is located, and it is also...

The old man’s sleeping place.

The guards at Changling were very tight. After all, it was the location of the imperial mausoleum, but the guards at Changling did not stop Zhu Zhanhe. They didn't even show up and just let him go.

Part of the reason was the more than 3 people Zhu Zhanhe brought, but there was another part of the reason.

In the imperial mausoleum, there is the Xien Hall.

Changling is actually a three-dimensional building. The first entrance is the divine kitchen, the sacred treasury, the stele pavilion and other buildings, the second entrance is the Lin'en Gate and the Lin'en Hall, and the third entrance is the mausoleum gate.

Zhu Zhanhe was now in the second entrance to the Qian'en Hall.

Kneeling on the futon, Zhu Zhanhe did not make any movement, just kneeling quietly. In front of him was the place where the spiritual tablet was placed.

But now, there is only the old man's soul lying there alone.

Emperor Hongxi died too early. It was only one year from his accession to the throne, and even the first year of his reign was not used up.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty began to build their own mausoleums when they succeeded to the throne. The old man's Changling Mausoleum was not completely completed until the 11th year of Yongle.

As you can imagine, building a mausoleum is not a simple matter.

Historically, the mausoleum of Emperor Hongxi was the Xianling Mausoleum. Because of Emperor Hongxi's edict, the construction of the Xianling Mausoleum only took three months from the beginning to the end, which was considered short in all dynasties.

But now, the construction of Xianling Mausoleum has not started yet.

Thinking of this, a sarcastic smile appeared on Zhu Zhanhe's lips.

Power is really a good thing. It can not only completely transform a person into another person, but can even make people forget important things.

"His Royal Highness."

The sound is very soft, and you can tell that it comes from a far away place. That's because this place is special.

This is the Changling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, the eternal resting place of Emperor Yongle. Except for direct descendants like Zhu Zhanhe, only certain people can enter.

Zhu Zhanhe has never been a rule-abiding person, but this is only relatively speaking. There are some rules that he will still abide by.

After kowtowing respectfully, Zhu Zhanhe stood up, left the Lin'en Hall, and came to the Lin'en Gate.

"His Royal Highness..." Zhu Ling bowed, then quickly came to Zhu Zhanhe's side, and whispered a few words into Zhu Zhanhe's ear.

"Where are the people?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zhu Ling in surprise.

"Back to Your Highness, you are at the chef's place."

"I understand." Zhu Zhanhe nodded and did not speak any more. Instead, he turned around and entered the Qin'en Hall again, kneeling in front of the spiritual throne again.

He didn't expect that after he entered Beijing, the first person to come was not his cousin, nor Zhang Fu and other generals, nor cabinet ministers such as San Yang, but that person...

But thinking about it, in order to make himself unable to fight, that person worked hard enough. It can be said that the entire court did not do as much as this person.

Moreover, among the entire court, I am afraid that this person is the only one who is sincerely interested in...

……

Although Zhu Zhanhe did not enter Shuntian Imperial City, the news still spread. After all, there were more than 4 people, not hundreds of people, and they could not come quietly.

Not to mention that he entered Changling.

Zhu Zhanhe's sensitive identity, the precarious situation, and the murderous crowd of more than 4 people made the entire Shuntian Imperial City panic-stricken. Some people had even begun to pack their things and prepare to escape from the place where the emperor was.

The place that once attracted everyone's attention is now like a hell in dire straits.

Shuntian Imperial City... No, I should say how many permanent troops are there in Shuntian Mansion?
The answer is that there are about 16. Like the original Yingtianhuangcheng, the current Shuntianhuangcheng continues the regulations of Yingtianhuangcheng, and there are only three battalions of permanent troops.

Among them, the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion were the least, and together they only numbered more than 15 people. The largest number was the Fifth Army Battalion, with as many as [-] people.

but!

Previously, when King Zhao rebelled, Zhang Fu led the [-] battalion and the Shenji battalion, plus the Daning and Kaiping guards each sent [-] troops to assist in order to put an end to King Zhao's rebellion.

After Zhu Gaosui committed suicide and was taken to Shuntian Mansion, the Three Thousand Battalion and Shenji Battalion led by Zhang Fu also returned.

However, Liu Sheng set out at the same time as Zhang Fu. He led the fifth military camp south to quell the White Lotus Rebellion and has not returned yet.

Not all of the Fifth Army Camp was taken away, but nearly half of them were taken away.

In other words, there are currently more than 8 people in the Three Thousand Battalion, Shenji Battalion and Fifth Military Battalion in Beijing.

Seems like a lot, right?But this is not the case.

People in the Three Thousand Battalion cannot be trusted, even if they are loyal, those who make decisions and give orders will not believe them, because the Three Thousand Battalion was led by the former King of Han and now the King of Wu Zhu Gaoxu.

In the ninth year of Yongle, before King Wu became the vassal, the Three Thousand Battalions were under the jurisdiction of Zhu Gaoxu. Although Zhu Gaoxu has been the vassal for more than ten years now, it is undeniable that the Three Thousand Battalions were led by Zhu Gaoxu, who was still the King of Han. The days were much better than now.

In the past, Zhu Gaoxu was a very greedy person. From the golden beans he swayed all the time, it can be seen that he was not less greedy for money, but where did his money come from?
The answer is war.

After winning the battle, no matter which general it is, the metropolis will allow the soldiers to advance into the city and put some of the captured goods into their pockets, and Zhu Gaoxu is the same.

In fact, as a general, he took more than ordinary people, and similarly, the soldiers led by him naturally took more.

Such a three thousand battalion, no matter who it is, cannot be trusted easily.

Except for the Three Thousand Battalion, the Shenji Battalion cannot be trusted either.

It's not that the Shenji Battalion has no credibility, but that they are not credible when they are asked to point their guns at Zhu Zhanhe.

If you want to ask which camp among the three camps has the most benefits from having the Han King lineage, it is undoubtedly the Three Thousand Battalion, but the Shenji Camp is not bad, at least it is second.

When Zhu Zhanhe went east to conquer the Japanese country, Liu Sheng led all members of the Shenji Battalion to rush to the rescue. Moreover, in the battle to capture Ping'an Jing, the Shenji Battalion put in a lot of effort and gained a lot of benefits.

This is why Liu Sheng was sent to Guangdong and Guangxi to suppress bandits beforehand, instead of staying in Beijing to prevent unexpected events.

Because some people don't trust him.

Excluding the 7 Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, there are still more than 4 people in the remaining [-]th Battalion. Now it is [-] to less than [-]. It is true that they are in an advantage, but what about the future?

Let’s not talk about the people led by Danba Wangdui. Now, the surrounding area of ​​Shuntian Mansion is no longer quiet.

But at this moment, no one thought of it.

Emperor Xuande has left the palace!

As for the destination...it is Changling!
