There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

In the spring of the second year of Zhenming.

Lin Feng had moved the capital of the Ming Empire from Beijing back to Nanjing, and Beijing became the companion capital, or the summer capital.

According to Lin Feng's idea, the imperial power center was located in Nanjing during other seasons of the year, and moved to Beijing when the weather was hot in summer.

In this way, Beijing's strategic position will be maintained and the grassland nomads will be intimidated. Secondly, it is to ensure that the future emperor of Ming Dynasty can see the world of Ming Dynasty in person, so as to prevent him from being kept in the deep palace all year round.

Moreover, with the great development of Zhenming Group's technology, the hardened cement road from Beijing to Nanjing will soon be built, and it will be very convenient for steam engines to travel along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, so the distance will not be a problem.

One day in April, after Lin Feng reviewed some memorials in the Qinzheng Hall, he asked: "Ieyasu, has King Sunten returned?"

"Back to the emperor, King Shuntian has returned from traveling around the world and is waiting for your summons." Zhongshu ordered Lin Jiakang to reply.

"Then invite him in. Let's have dinner together at noon, and let Xiang Sheng also participate." Lin Feng confessed.

"According to the order!" Lin Jiakang immediately went to deliver the order.

At noon, Chongzhen, who was canonized as Shuntian King after his Zen throne, came to the palace with his daughter Zhu Aona to pay homage to Lin Feng.

In order to make Chongzhen understand the reason why he lost the throne, Lin Feng also arranged for someone to escort him to travel around the country to visit the people.

However, Lin Feng obviously would not do such a thing with his big heart. After the establishment of Xinhua in later generations, he did not kill the last emperor.

Now seeing her coming into the palace alive and kicking, it seems that he has done a good thing and avoided the tragedy in her life.

"The guilty minister Zhu Youjian pays homage to the emperor, long live our emperor!" Chongzhen saluted with a very dignified attitude.

After several months of traveling around the world, Chongzhen had returned to Nanjing and wrote a memorial to express his gratitude to Lin Feng in person.

Lin Feng glanced at Zhu Yu'ao again. This was the famous Princess Changping in history. When the Ming Dynasty fell, her arm was cut off by Chongzhen himself with a sword. She survived by luck, but the ending was also very tragic.

"King Shuntian doesn't need to be polite. Get up. Who is this?" Lin Feng looked at Zhu Ainao who came with Chongzhen.

"Back to the emperor, this is my daughter Zhu Ainao. When she heard that the emperor summoned his ministers, she wanted to come to the palace in Nanjing to see it. She had been here when she was a child." Chongzhen replied.

This girl is about 10 years old. She is very beautiful. Her big eyes are twinkling and she looks very spiritual.

After Chongzhen enthroned Lin Feng last year, he was very worried, fearing that he would die inexplicably.

Come to the Sihai Palace in the Nanjing Palace to receive guests. The name means meeting guests from all over the world.

Lin Feng was confident enough to control the Zhenming Army and the imperial court, so naturally he would not worry about a Chongzhen who had lost his power becoming a threat to him.

"I have met the emperor!" Zhu Aina also came over obediently and saluted.

His worries are very normal. In ancient times, the change of imperial power was almost never peaceful, and the throne would usually be overthrown by the new emperor.

"Ana's previous title was Kunxing, right?" Lin Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, don't mention the title of the previous dynasty anymore." Chongzhen came out quickly, fearing to make Lin Feng unhappy.

"Hey, Kun Xing used to be a princess, and now she is at least the princess. You can continue to use Kun Xing's title if you want!" Of course, Lin Feng would not be afraid of a little girl's title. "The emperor's broad-mindedness makes all ministers burst into tears of gratitude!" Chongzhen said gratefully.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, who had been appointed full-time as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief and was awarded the rank of first-class general, also entered the palace.

"Jiandou is here too, let's eat together and chat while we eat." Lin Feng said.

"According to the order!" several people replied at the same time.

In the hall of Sihai Palace, a banquet with sumptuous dishes but no expensive ingredients has been set up. Some fruit wine was also served.

After the waiting maid poured wine for everyone, Lin Feng raised his glass and said, "Let's raise our glasses together to welcome King Suncheon back from his travels around the world."

Chongzhen immediately stood up to express his gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!"

After several people drank a few glasses of wine, Lin Feng asked: "King Shuntian, what did you gain from this trip?"

"When I returned to the Emperor, I gained a lot. When I went out and took a look, I realized the poor governance of our government back then, and then I realized the Emperor's great talents and strategies. In just a few years, Shaanxi and other places where the Emperor used to be the main force have become so politically connected and people-friendly. , the people are rich, a hundred times better than my original Ming Dynasty. This dynasty change should have been carried out long ago," Chongzhen said with conviction.

"Haha, if King Shuntian knows you like this, it's not worth asking you to go on a trip." Lin Feng replied happily after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, as I walked along the way, all I heard was the people's praise for the Zhenming New Deal. The prosperity of the world should be just around the corner!" Chongzhen continued.

"When any policy is implemented for a long time, some interest groups will be formed. If it is not corrected in time, problems will occur sooner or later. This is also the case in all dynasties. At the beginning of the founding of the country, most of them were politically clear, but in the later years, they were full of disadvantages. We must take this seriously. Quit it." Lin Feng sighed.

"My Holy Emperor!" Several people immediately stood up and said.

"Sit down, sit down, today we will mainly chat, no need to be so formal!" Lin Feng said.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to ask of you. I don't know if I should tell you or not?" Chongzhen said.

"Oh, if there is anything else that King Suncheon has to say, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen was granted the title of King Shuntian due to His Majesty's favor. However, Wei Chen does not want to be like the previous vassal kings and wait to die. Wei Chen also wants to do something for the new dynasty. Please consider it, Your Majesty." Chongzhen pleaded.

"This matter is easy to handle. As I said just now, any policy will easily change after being implemented for a long time. I will appoint you as a folk collector. You will spend a few months every year to travel to various places and report what you see and hear, especially to the local governments. The implementation of policies was compiled for reference by the central court.

However, folk collectors do not have the right to deal with local conditions. They can only record the truth and report it to me. I wonder if you are willing? Lin Feng thought for a moment and arranged a job for Chongzhen.

"Wei Chen is very willing!" Chongzhen immediately agreed. He could travel every year and have the right to directly report to the emperor, which is already very good.

"The emperor's broad-mindedness is indeed an example for all emperors in the past dynasties. I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor for his kindness to the Ming emperor!" Lu Xiangsheng also stood up to express his thanks.

It was Lu Xiangsheng who first begged Lin Feng to spare Chongzhen's life. Now that Chongzhen, as the former emperor who abdicated, not only had his life safe, but was also assigned important affairs, Lu Xiangsheng was also very generous in his heart.

Lin Feng treated Chongzhen favorably, of course on the premise of ensuring the security of the regime, but also to send a clear signal that the new Ming Dynasty was tolerant and could provide a way out and appropriate arrangements for anyone who sincerely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

To truly fulfill what later generations have said, you must make few enemies and make many friends, only then can you be invincible!
