Looking at the somewhat incomplete city wall, Zhu Cilang sighed heavily.

As the location of the governor's yamen, Jinan was captured by the Later Jin Tartars in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and the entire city was tragically poisoned. The incomplete walls were the best witness. In the past two years, Jinan has not been completely restored.

Seeing that Zhu Cilang was not in a good mood, Chen Chang, Qiu Zhizhong, Li Zhenwu and others also remained silent.

The soldiers guarding the city gate simply looked at Zhu Cixuan and his group holding the horse, waved their hands and let go, without saying a word.

Zhu Cilang still entered Jinan City in a condom, and the large group of people was about half a day behind them.

Although Zhu Cixuan went to Nanjing's governor of the State Council to visit Tangbao, the Tangbao, but the arrival time was not long, and the governors from all over the country would not pay special attention to it. Who knows when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will set off? The capital city will go to Nanjing for more than 2,000 miles. His Royal Highness must have many ceremonies. It will take several months to arrive. Besides, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives somewhere, he will definitely send people to report it.

The more reason is that the governors from all over the south are more concerned about the situation in the capital. The thief Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Shaanxi and threatened to attack the capital in large numbers. He did not know how the defense of the capital was and whether it could withstand the attack of Li Zicheng's million-strong army.

There are not many people who truly care about the Ming Dynasty, and more officials and generals are considering their own way out.

For example, Han Ye, the governor of Dezhou, received a report from the court and knew that His Royal Highness would go to Nanjing to supervise the country, and he was likely to pass by Dezhou Prefecture, but he did not make any preparations.

Besides, Zhu Cixuan didn't like pomp, and he was thinking about what to do next and where to feel the mood to welcome and send him off. So Li Banghua, Fan Jingwen and others thought it was inappropriate for His Royal Highness to notify the Shandong Governor, but they didn't say much.

Zhu Cixuan was in a bad mood when he saw the broken Jinan walls, but he was more concerned about the situation in the capital. There were three Tang newspapers from the capital. The first was Zhu Cixuan going to Nanjing to supervise the country, and the second was that Li Zicheng's millions of troops were divided into two groups, which were close to the Yellow River and were about to cross the Yellow River to attack Shanxi and Henan. His fighting intention was very obvious, which was to encircle the capital from Henan and Shanxi. The third Tang newspaper was the emperor's order to dispatch generals from all over the country to Beijing to resist the bandits and protect the capital.

The second and third reports were sent closely before the local governor could see it.

Zhu Cilang naturally received the court's report. It was precisely because of these two reports that he was able to open the gap from Cao Huachun and have his own personal guard.

It seems that the trajectory of history has not changed for the time being, and it has not flapped the butterfly's wings because of his time travel.

Before Zhu Cixuan entered Jinan Prefecture City, a personal guard had already gone to make arrangements.

The two hundred people selected by Li Hongshun are still under training. There are Jinyiwei and ordinary soldiers here. Their identities have changed and they have temporarily become the personal bodyguards of His Royal Highness. Therefore, these personal bodyguards are responsible for handling the matters related to His Royal Highness. As for the other Jinyiwei, their main responsibility is to be responsible for the safety of the brigade of troops.

The Jinyiwei was divided into two parts, one led by Wu Mengming, commander of the Jinyiwei, responsible for the safety of the brigade of the troops, and the other part of the Jinyiwei led by Chen Chang, who was promoted to the General Banner of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei led by Chen Chang has become Zhu Cixuan's personal bodyguards.

Song Bing, Li Zhenwu, Li Shengjun, Li Shengjie and even Li Hongshun and others all entered the team of personal guards.

The inn had been arranged, and Zhu Cixuan, who had entered the city, did not stop and headed towards the inn.

When entering the inn room, the guards who entered Jinan Prefecture City were already waiting.

Zhu Cixuan entered the room and had no time to wash up. He waved to the guards and asked him to report the information he had found in Jinan City.

The guards reported that the entire Jinan city was relatively calm, and the army under Liu Zeqing did not enter Jinan Prefecture City.

What Zhu Cilang really cares about is Shandong Governor Qiu Zude.

Qiu Zude was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, he served as the right assistant censor and governor of Shandong. He was considered an official who was promoted very quickly. According to what Zhu Cilang learned, Qiu Zude was capable, not a member of the Donglin Party, but an official who was promoted with his true ability and ability. This was a very rare situation in the late Ming Dynasty.

Of course, officials with backgrounds would not go to Shandong. The Later Jin Tartars ravaged the Central Plains, and Shandong became a severely affected area. Many local officials in Shandong died under the iron hooves of the Later Jin Tartars. In such a place, officials without backgrounds would naturally go to such a place.

Shandong General Liu Zeqing naturally knew about this situation, so Liu Zeqing didn't care much about Qiu Zude. After all, Qiu Zude did not have a strong background in the court and his own qualifications were not very deep. He only served as the governor of Shandong as the right assistant censor. To a certain extent, he did not have absolute strength to control Liu Zeqing.

"Zhizhong, tomorrow will be the first day of the second month."

Qiu Zhizhong nodded.

"Report to the Crown Prince, tomorrow is the first day of the second month."

"Time flies so fast. It's been twenty days since I left the capital in a blink of an eye. I thought I could arrive in Nanjing in a maximum of twenty days, but I didn't expect to arrive in Jinan, Shandong. It will take at least half a month to arrive in Nanjing when the matter in Shandong is handled."

Qiu Zhizhong looked up slightly and spoke carefully.

"Your Highness, I feel that the speed is fast enough. You have planned and solved many problems along the way."

Zhu Cilang smiled and looked at Qiu Zhizhong and spoke.

"Zhizhong, these flattering words are well said. I ask you, what do you think of this Shandong Governor, Lord Qiu Zude."

Qiu Zhizhong shook his head in panic.

"Your Highness, I am not familiar with Lord Qiu, and I don't know what to say."

"Gou asked you to say it, when you were in the capital, you heard the discussion, and you would say what you thought, and you would say whatever you thought. Gou would not blame you."

Qiu Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Zhu Cilang.

"When I was in the capital, I heard the discussion about Lord Qiu. They all said that Lord Qiu is capable, but unfortunately he lacks qualifications, so he came to Shandong to become an official. If he had any connections, he would definitely go to Nanzhili or stay in the capital."

Zhu Cilang looked at the window. He was actually thinking about getting the answer from Qiu Zhizhong whether Qiu Zude could reuse it. Even if it was a little bit good, it was unlikely to see it right now. Qiu Zhizhong did not have such strong comprehension ability.

"I understand, Zhizhong, you go and prepare. After an hour, I will go to the governor's office."

Qiu Zhizhong shook his head repeatedly.

"Your Highness, I think I'll let Lord Qiu come to see you."

Zhu Cilang thought for a moment and looked at Qiu Zhizhong.

"Oh, tell me your reasons."

This time Qiu Zhizhong looked up.

"I think there are too many people in the Governor's Office. His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince went to the Governor's Office and it was difficult to keep it secret. If someone talked about it and Liu Zeqing knew about it, the matter would be difficult to deal with. Besides, Lord Qiu didn't know that His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince arrived in Jinan Prefecture City. If he received a notice and made arrangements for a large amount of arrangements, the news would be completely leaked."

Zhu Cilang nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Zhizhong, your suggestion is good. Then, you represent Gu to the Governor's yamen. Chen Chang follows you to the Governor's yamen. You still don't reveal your identity, but your tone of speaking is softer. Lord Qiu Zude is different from Han Ye. When you hear what you say, you will definitely make an analysis. Lord Qiu is waiting for Lord Qiu in the inn."

Seeing that Qiu Zhizhong was about to turn around and leave to make arrangements, Zhu Cixuan waved his hand.

"Zhizhong, don't worry, I will ask you some more things. Do you have any comments on Lord Cao Huachun, Lord Li Banghua, and Lord Fan Jingwen?"

Qiu Zhizhong lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Report to the Crown Prince, I have specifically talked about this matter with Li Jizhou. Lord Cao, Lord Li and Lord Fan didn't say much. Lord Cao should have submitted a memorial to the emperor. I thought the memorial must have mentioned what happened along the way. Li Jizhou originally wanted to ask what the memorial was written, but was afraid of arousing Lord Cao's disgust, so he didn't speak in the end."

"It's okay, Yang Wencong and Fang Gonggan, two adults."

"Mr. Yang is fine. He has been training sergeants all the time and is very busy every day. Master Fang has some complaints, mainly because His Royal Highness has too many things to do and he has almost no time to read books."

Zhu Cilang nodded and looked at Qiu Zhizhong's blunt speech.

"Zhizhong, there are some things that I don't need to be said. You and Jizhou should know how to do it. When they were in the capital, most of the adults in the court did not want to go to Nanjing to supervise the country alone. The father also had an opinion on this. A few days ago, I read the court's Tangbao and downplayed the matter of me going to Nanjing to supervise the country alone, and did not even say that I wanted to do anything in Nanjing."

"Gu knew that it was not easy to do something in Nanjing. It might be openly opposed by some people. They would use the ancestral system to restrict Gu, thinking of letting Gu follow their mercy."

"Since Gu is going to Nanjing to supervise the country, he must do something. No matter who opposes or his identity, Gu will not be polite. Gu can rely on many things, namely Li Jizhou and you. So Gu hopes you are smarter and think more about anything you encounter."

"Do you understand Gu's painstaking efforts?"

Qiu Zhizhong did not hesitate and knelt down and spoke.

"I am trying my best to be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Get up, tell Li Jizhou these words, think more about what to do."
