The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Seeing this, Emperor Jiajing was also quite excited. When offering sacrifices to the heavens, he did not show any perfunctory negligence. The Emperor Jiajing recited a thousand-character sacrificial oration in a melodious, loud and clear voice.

After the sacrifice to the heavens, we started to march to the canal.

After being sent off by the officials staying in Beijing, Emperor Deqing led a group of accompanying officials onto the tall ship!

For Emperor Jiajing's southern tour, the imperial court spent a lot of gold, silver, wood, and labor to prepare nine large ships and five medium-sized ships as the fleet during Emperor Jiajing's southern tour.

Among them, except for a large dragon boat with extremely luxurious decoration as the imperial ship of Emperor Jiajing, and another large ship for storing various imperial items, the other ships are all used to carry escorts. The officials, the entourage of the officials, 09 and the guards escorting them.

"set sail!!"

The mighty fleet began to head south.

The southern tour officially begins!

At this time, Yan Song was also standing at the stern of a large ship, looking at the direction of the capital from afar.

"Jingshi, goodbye!"

……

……

Three days later...

"Thousands of dragon boats and green silks will never be returned when they are carried in Yangzhou. It should be that the Tianjiao opened Bianshui, and there are no mountains for more than a thousand miles. It is said that this river died in the Sui Dynasty, and it has been relying on Tongbo for thousands of miles. If there is no water palace In the case of dragon boats, there are not many meritorious deeds of Gong Yu."

A man wearing a first-grade bullfighting official robe of the Ming Dynasty was gazing at the Grand Canal in front of him, while leisurely reciting "Two Poems of Bianhe Nostalgia" by Pi Rixiu.

Water transportation was the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in front of us was the reliance of water transportation.

Of course, this is the chief assistant of the dynasty - Yan Song.

Listening to Yan Ge's leisurely recitation, Yan Nian, who was accompanying him, patted his horse and said, "Good poetry! The master's hands are so wet!"

"Wet your head!" Yan Song scolded angrily: "It was written by people in the Tang Dynasty 1000 years ago. If you have time, read more! Go and see this arrangement for the return trip."

(Yan Song was crying in his heart, why did he let me be born in the Ming Dynasty, and I couldn’t copy any Tang poems, Song lyrics, and Yuan songs, so angry.)

Yan Nian took a piece of paper from Yan Song.

This is the itinerary of Emperor Jiajing's southern tour.

Yan Song followed Emperor Jiajing on his southern tour, and of course the route he took was the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.Board the ship from the capital, go to Tianjin, enter the Grand Canal area, then pass through Zhili, Shandong, Jiangsu, and finally pass through Yangzhou and go down to the south of the Yangtze River.

This arrangement was carefully considered by Yan Song. The road is a bustling world. On the one hand, it satisfies the desire to travel on the emperor's tour~wang, and on the other hand, it is easy to make money, haha~~

What?Can travel arrangements still make money?

Later, Mr. Yan Song and Yan Ge will show you how in this world it is possible to pluck the feathers of geese and squeeze oil from stones.Elder Yan Ge firmly believes that there is no money in this world that he cannot earn.There are only stupid pigs, not the suffocated old Yan Ge.

Regarding the arrangements for the return trip, Mr. Yan Ge also used his brains, that is, not to turn back.

The return journey is arranged to go up the river from the south of the Yangtze River, and return to Anlu, Hubei, the hometown before Jiajing inherited the Datong, and it was also the third capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time - Chengtianfu.

That's right, it's the first!three!All!city!

If we want to talk about the origin of Chengtian Mansion, we must start with the "big ceremony" that Emperor Jiajing used to compete with his father.

The previous generation of Emperor Wu Zong Zhengde liked barrenness~yin and innocence, and built a leopard house. At the young age of 30, he killed himself.Wu Zong passed away with no heirs and no successors, leaving the great country to his cousin Emperor Jiajing.Emperor Jiajing, originally an ordinary vassal with his fiefdom in Anlu, was supposed to spend his whole life as a country bumpkin in Hubei. Unexpectedly, a big pie fell from the sky, and he was dragged to the capital to be the emperor.

One person attained enlightenment, chicken and dog ascended to heaven, and here in Jiaqing, one person attained enlightenment, Nima, he wants to ascend the whole hometown to heaven.

Anlu, originally a small inland N-line city, had a bad reputation, but because of the birth of Emperor Jiajing, it was promoted to Chengtian Mansion.Together with Shuntian Mansion in Beijing and Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing, it was also known as the three direct-controlled mansions of the Ming Dynasty, and it was very prosperous for a while.

By the way, Jiajing's willful behavior of using power for personal gain was learned from the old ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang promoted his hometown Fengyang to the central capital after he started his career as a cowherd baby.

This is really wayward old Zhu.

However, in the eighth year of Hongwu, after the completion of the project, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Fengyang to inspect the quality of the project. The wayward old Zhu made a major decision that shocked the entire empire: Abandon the capital!

Because he heard that this kind of 047 project did not pay, many Fengyang craftsmen were dissatisfied, and used the method of disgusting victory, buried many villains in the city wall, and specially cursed him, so that Lao Zhu felt the resentment from the elders in his hometown.

Long story short, it is said that Emperor Jiajing instructed Yan Song that when he travels this time, he must return home in good clothes, so that the fathers and folks in Chengtian Mansion can see how I am now, and let me take a good (pretentious) look.

In order to satisfy Emperor Jiajing's desire to pretend, Yan Song had no choice but to change the first stop of the return journey to Chengtian Mansion, so that Emperor Jiajing could return to his hometown in rich clothes and wealth.

Of course, the tomb sweeping of Jiajing's cultivators is also indispensable.

After reading this arrangement, Yan Nian looked puzzled: "Master, what's wrong with this arrangement? How much can the filial pieties of all places do?"

Yan Song laughed inscrutablely.

"You're still too naive, just watch."

Yan Nian had a strange expression on his face, not understanding the reason behind this.

"Report, in front of Tianjin, Li Moru, the chief minister of Zhili, came to welcome the holy driver."

"Yeah." Yan Song closed his eyes: "Let him come."

Under Yan Nian's watchful eyes, a chief envoy led Zhili officials to kneel on the ground and apologized to Yan Song with a smile on his face: "The next official, Li Moru, represents the Zhili officials, and I ask the old man to convey it to you. Long live the emperor! age!"
