Chapter 275 Death Struggle

Next, Yang Feng completely put aside the rights and wrongs of the capital and led the mighty legion of adopted women northward along the canal.

But he had to get off the ship when he reached Huai'an.

After all, it was still winter at this time, and the canal to the north was still frozen.

Can only walk.

Fortunately, the foster girls are in good health and full of energy. After all, they have seen the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty along the way, and they are all looking forward to their new life with joy. It is like this mighty team continuing to go north while watching onlookers along the way.

By the time they arrived in Yanzhou, the emperor's grandson had already officially ascended the throne.

As for the year number...

For the time being, it’s still Hongwu.

This will have to be changed after the New Year.

In fact, before Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, he had always used the name Hongwu. Therefore, in the official history of the Ming Dynasty, the fourth year of Jianwen was always the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu. As for what era name Zhu Yunxi would use, this great scholar studied it for him.

There is no need for Ambassador Yang to worry.

Ambassador Yang, who arrived in Yanzhou, directly borrowed the currently vacant Prince Lu Mansion.

Of course, it wasn't him who came forward.

Theoretically, he was still on his way to Guangzhou at this time.

The person leading these adopted daughters is of course Zhang Ying.

At this time, Zhu Zhaohui was just ten years old. He was still just the son of Lu, and he still lived in the Tenth Prince's Palace in the capital. Only Princess Lu occasionally came back to visit this palace, and it was now used to house Yang Feng's adopted daughters. Moreover, Yang Feng was short-lived.

I don’t plan to go back in time. Lao Zhu’s funeral is very troublesome. Originally, Zhu Yunwen buried him in seven days in history. This is very strange for an emperor. The emperor buried him in seven days and buried him in July. Although this Zhou ritual is not

It is not strictly adhered to, there are long or short days, and there are even years, but seven days is still an exaggeration, which is almost comparable to those who were beaten by old thieves. So even if Lao Zhu was the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, according to

His principle of restoring ancient etiquette required him to stay in the funeral palace for at least seven months, but Zhu Yunwen not only refused to allow his uncles to enter the capital, but also hurriedly buried him in just seven days.

It's indeed a little weird.

In fact, it is seriously against etiquette and law, especially when he is surrounded by great Confucians.

But Zhu Yunxi will definitely not be like this.

Moreover, since it was winter, there was no need to worry about the problem of spoilage. Finally, after discussion with the ministers in the court, they unanimously decided to strictly follow the etiquette and let him freeze in the funeral palace for seven months.

In addition, vassal princes from various places were summoned to Beijing for the funeral.

He is different from Zhu Yunwen. The latter had a guilty conscience and was buried for seven days, which would not give the vassal king time to come back. But now he has basically eliminated the vassal kings. The four kings of Jin, Yan, Zhou, and Chu have all transferred their titles.

The King of Qin is already the second generation, and Chang Sheng is watching. The King of Qi is a fool, and the King of Shu is very relieved. The other kings are not good enough. Except for the King of Xiang, who is in Jingzhou, the others are remote frontiers, and there are many fundamental problems.

He did not become a vassal. It can be said that he did not need to worry about the vassal king's rebellion and seizing the throne. On the contrary, he wanted to use this to show the world that the latter surrendered to him, not to mention that he would not allow people to come to Beijing for burial. This is wrong in itself.

Even ordinary people can't help but let their sons go home to attend their father's funeral!

Seven months is enough.

Even Zhu Di had enough time to rush back from the Western Regions.

At this time, he was presiding over the construction of Dihua City in Changbali. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict, he had to lead the troops currently in the Western Region to build Dihua City before the Beiting Commander and Dihua Guards arrived.

In this way, the Beiting Commander and Dihuawei can take over directly after they arrive.

It is only more than six thousand miles from Dihua to the capital. Even if the message transmission time is included, seven months is enough for him to return to the capital. As for the remaining vassal kings, none is farther than him, like the one who moved to Annan

The King of Chu, the King of Han in Kaiyuan, and the King of Su in the northwest are all closer than him. Therefore, in seven months all the vassal kings will gather in the capital to attend the funeral of Emperor Daxing and meet the new emperor, officially completing the replacement of the highest power of the Ming Empire.

It’s still early!

Returning to the capital at this time, Ambassador Yang, as a foreign envoy, also has to attend various ceremonies.

You also have to wear mourning.

Although he has pushed his daughter down, this kind of thing can still be avoided.

Yang Feng sent the adopted daughters to Yanzhou and asked Zhang Ying to stay and accommodate them.

This palace was rented by Zhang Ying from Princess Lu and paid rent.

Although renting the palace is a bit exaggerated, fortunately Princess Lu is not the first.

Because the Princess of Jin has rented some rooms in the palace to businessmen as warehouses.

After the King of Jin moved to the vassal state, such a large palace still had to be maintained in Taiyuan, and it was of no use. Except for important buildings such as the main hall, the houses like the back house could be rented out. Taiyuan's industrial and commercial development happened to be rapid, and there were a lot of industrial and commercial people.

There was no place to serve as a warehouse in the city. Since they gave them money, of course the Princess of Jin ignored her own face issues...

Money is the most important thing.

After the King of Jin moved to the vassal state, he was just guarding a bitter and cold land.

That is, the rent Yang Feng gives them, and then they collect some taxes according to the business rules, and of course they must seize every opportunity to make money.

Now all the feudal lords are like this.

Anyway, the emperor is ready to let them live on their own. In fact, a bunch of clans that needed to be ennobled were not ennobled last year. Since he is not prepared to pay, he can't blame everyone for being shameless. Renting out the palace is just the beginning.

Yang Feng still pretended to be a businessman and went north to Shanxi.

There is no need to worry about his tax package.

The key is the resettlement of the Mongols brought from Mobei.

But things turned out surprisingly well.

Although Shuofang is still a bitterly cold place in the eyes of Princess Jin, it is already a paradise for those Mongolians. After all, the winter in Mobei is minus 40 to 50 degrees, while Hohhot is only 20 to 30 degrees below zero, and in the desert

Bei still has to endure hunger and have no worries about food and clothing here. In this case, let them continue to be happy. Anyway, Ambassador Yang has done what he promised them. Ambassador Yang promised to take them to Monan. Shuofang is of course Monan.

, he then went north to Huining, and then went into the reclamation area, where he went into winter in the severe cold of minus 30 degrees Celsius.

At this time, the capital city was in the snow.

In an inconspicuous mansion.

"How was the check?"

Huang Zicheng looked eagerly at Qi Tai, who was brushing off the snowflakes on his body.

It's just that the latter is wearing an old Confucian shirt and looks like a teacher.

Qi Tai was still the Minister of War, but Zhu Yunxi found an excuse to dismiss Huang Zicheng. After the latter came to the throne, he carried out a large-scale purge of Zhu Yunwen's clan, and most of them were dismissed. However, even though they were dismissed, most of these people were in the capital.

After all, they were preparing to go home, but if the preparation time had been longer, His Majesty the Emperor would not be able to let the imperial guards come to the door and drive them out with big sticks.

"No news."

Qitai shook his head and said.

"Have you never seen it in Guangzhou?"

Fang Xiaoru said.

He was also dismissed from office.

"No."

Qitai shook his head.

"Then where can he go? Even if he doesn't know that the fleet has returned, he still has to go to Guangzhou. Could it be that he capsized the boat in the river and fed the fish?"

Huang Zicheng dreamed about the happy scene of Yang Feng being fed to fish.

Well, they are looking for Yang Feng.

After all, there had been no news from Yang Feng for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict was to go to Guangzhou to take the four new warships that had been prepared, and then go to Luzon to meet the Jiahe Fleet. But the Jiahe Fleet had already returned to the capital, so the news was reported to Di.

Hurry, we have already arrived in Guangzhou in a month. What's more, the news of the emperor's death was announced to the world by imperial edict. This is faster. We will arrive in Guangzhou in a few days. It is impossible for Yang Feng to know that the emperor has passed away and still continue to go.

Luzon, besides, whether he goes or not, he will still show up in Guangzhou.

What's going on now?

"Maybe there was an accident. He hasn't shown up since he left Anlongsi. The whole journey from Anlongsi to Guangzhou is steep, so an accident is not impossible."

Fang Xiaoru said.

"I didn't drown him at sea last time. Can I drown him in the river in Guangxi?"

Qitai was speechless.

"Then how to explain his disappearance? What's more, there are no places like Dateng Gorge on the sea. He took the waterway to Guangzhou, and there were some barbarian people along the way. There might be some accidents. He is not immortal. If he is,

With his immortal body, he doesn't need to be heavily armored. When does he not wear his body armor whenever he goes outside?

He can also be killed.

Maybe in that deep mountain canyon, the boat capsized in the ditch and was shot to death by the natives with poisonous arrows.
