Chapter 447: Arrive in Nanjing

Zhu Yijun naturally had to go to the south of the Yangtze River to take the water. Although it was easy to walk on land, it was too much to spend. Zhu Yijun was a frugal emperor. Besides, the speed of walking on land was too slow. Zhu Yijun naturally had no worries about his shipbuilding. With the current shipbuilding strength of the Ming Dynasty, it was no problem to build a dragon ship.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhu Yijun to build any dragon boat. Yang Guang completely ruined this title.

Zhu Yijun's principle is to be simple. Of course, Zhu Yijun said that, both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the officials of the court did not argue with Zhu Yijun's attitude of requesting simplicity. He did not choose to be simple when building this ship. If you really do it, you would be too confused.

When the emperor travels or goes to Nanjing to worship Taizu, how can you be too shabby? That is absolutely not possible.

Everything went smoothly, and Zhu Yijun didn't have to worry about it. The court's political affairs include the cabinet and the Military Affairs Office, so there was no big problem.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty was considered a prosperous country and a peaceful country, and there was no big deal that required Zhu Yijun to take charge. Shen Shi, the chief minister of the cabinet, was a very suitable candidate. Zhu Yijun was relieved to hand over political affairs to Shen Shixing. After all, Shen Shixing has proved himself after so many years.

After the preparation was completed, Zhu Yijun finally boarded his own ship, set out from Northern Tongzhou, and headed south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Although Zhu Yijun also wanted to stop and play all the way, it was not possible! Zhu Yijun was going to worship Emperor Taizu and had an attitude, so Zhu Yijun didn't even get off the boat along the way and headed straight to Nanjing. The waterway was very fast, and it was unobstructed along the way. Zhu Yijun arrived in Nanjing smoothly.

Nanjing, as the former capital of the Ming Dynasty and an important town in Jiangnan, now has a very high status.

When the emperor was about to arrive, the city of Nanjing naturally had to prepare to take over the horse. The eunuchs guarding the Duke of Wei, and officials from all over Nanjing all gathered at the wharf to wait for the horse. The martial law was imposed here half a month ago, and on this day there were even troops everywhere, with ten steps and five steps each whistle, which was very tight.

At the front of the welcoming team, the eunuch Feng Shi, the Duke of Wei, Xu Weizhi, and the civil and military officials of the six ministers of Nanjing, all came.

Zhu Yijun did not ask for simplicity this time because this was the time to demonstrate his emperor's authority.

If it is simple, it will be looked down upon by others. Of course, no one dares to underestimate Zhu Yijun at this time. Although it has not been called out yet, basically Zhu Yijun's authority is the third person after Taizu and Chengzu. When the ship docked, the pedal was set up and the guards on the ship walked down first.

This time, the guards of Zhu Yijun were all from the Jing camp, and were veterans brought back by Zhang Weixian from North Korea and Japan.

They all walked down with murderous intent and took neat steps. Their military appearance was solemn that it made people excited, and of course they were also frightened.

After the guards came down, all the civil and military ministers who followed Zhu Yijun to Nanjing came down, and in the end it was Zhu Yijun. As for the concubines, they didn't bring any of them. Zhu Yijun came this time to worship Emperor Taizu, and it was not a good idea to bring the concubines together. Zhu Yijun could bring the queen, but the capital still wanted her as the queen to take charge. After all, she was nominally the eldest son of the emperor.

If the Empress Dowager was not in charge of the matter, it would be good for the Empress Dowager to supervise the country, after all, this Empress Dowager had done it before.

Zhu Yijun walked off the boat, not wearing a crown suit, but was wearing a regular suit. As soon as Zhu Yijun showed up, the civil and military ministers below knelt on the ground to salute Zhu Yijun.

His eyes swept across the ministers present, and there was no one moving at the scene, and there was no sound at all. Zhu Yijun showed a smile on his face and said loudly: "My dear friends, please don't be polite!"

Following Zhu Yijun's words, the ministers stood up and then stood respectfully.

Zhu Yijun stepped down from the boat, got on the imperial chariot that had been prepared long ago and entered Nanjing City directly.

Although the imperial palace in Nanjing has been idle for some years, it has not been abandoned. Since he learned that Zhu Yijun was coming, Nanjing has made great efforts to repair it, and it looks decent. After Zhu Yijun moved into the Nanjing Palace, he summoned Xu Weizhi on the first day.

This is what I valued by Duke Wei Xu Weizhi. No one said anything about this. As long as others, they can only wait until the summoning tomorrow morning.

Xu Weizhi is not very old, but his health is not good. When he comes to Zhu Yijun, he still looks sick.

After looking at Xu Weizhi, Zhu Yijun found that he looked very old, and it might be because of his poor health. Before Xu Weizhi could salute, Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "Your dear, please don't give me a gift!" As he said that, Zhu Yijun frowned: "Your dear, your health doesn't look good!"

"Your Majesty, you're an old problem!" Xu Weizhi also said with a wry smile: "Thank you for your concern."

Zhu Yijun nodded. Today's conversation would not have any substantial content. It was basically just meeting each other to show his affection for the nobles.

However, seeing Xu Weizhi's body, Zhu Yijun said, "Since my health is not good, why not go to Beijing to take care of me! There are many famous doctors in the Royal Medical College in Beijing, and there are also Dr. Li Shizhen and Doctor Li to take care of me. I think it will improve."

When Xu Weizhi heard Zhu Yijun's words, his face changed. He couldn't help but look up at Zhu Yijun.

In fact, the Duke of Wei has always been worried. After all, the Duke of Wei is in Nanjing, and the emperor is now a strong man, and he attaches great importance to the military power in his hands.

If the emperor wants to take back the position of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, no one will feel strange. Could it be that this time it was for this matter? Xu Weizhi had also made speculations before. Now that he heard Zhu Yijun's words, Xu Weizhi naturally had to think more, and he couldn't help but think more.

When he looked up and saw Zhu Yijun just smiling and looking at him, Xu Weizhi's face looked a little better.

In fact, since the reform, Zhu Yijun has thought about striking the Duke of Wei, but it is not abolishing or punishing the crime, but wants to change the duty of the Duke of Wei to be hereditary to guard Nanjing. After a detailed understanding, Zhu Yijun knew that although the Duke of Wei to be in the name of the Duke of Wei to be in Nanjing, the real power was not that great.

Especially after the anti-Japanese war in the Jiajing period, the imperial court adopted a recruitment system, and the command of the army was basically in the hands of civil servants and generals.

The Duke of Wei’s Mansion is more like a decoration. Of course, even if it is placed, the Duke of Wei’s Mansion is a big shot in Jiangnan, and the kind that most people dare not provoke.
