Chapter 884
The official roads in the capital are still lively along the way.
Outside the city, there are lots of fields and green trees, and the roads are filled with dense merchants. After entering the city, the bustling streets and buildings on both sides are rare in Yangzhou, Jiangnan.
"Grandfather, is this the capital city?"
The curtain of the four-horse carriage revealed a child's head, and his smart and spiritual eyes swept around.
When you see novel objects, you will become more and more magical.
"Pengju, sit down."
Xu Qi, Duke of Wei, lifted the curtain and guarded the Guangdong-Guangzhou Naval Army for five years. He entered Beijing for the first time. The capital was indeed very different from before.
I saw a lot of scholars surrounding the gate of the Gongyuan.
"I will go to see Queen Mother Zhang later, Yingsu, you can go to Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau for treatment."
"...Ahem, Dad, I'll ask you for your study."
Xu Yingsu coughed a few times, as if he was suffering from some serious illness. He heard that the court increased the number of places to be selected for imperial examinations in various prefectures by 500.
It is precisely because of this that they asked for an order to enter Beijing.
The court likes to reform. Since the general trend is in progress, then follow the trend and follow the court to reform.
The descendants of the vassal princes are not allowed to be inherited, so they must be allowed to study in the Imperial College, right?
If it were Emperor Hongzhi's reign, Xu Qi would not dare to beg, but Zhu Houzhao...
Everything is possible.
"Dad has met Empress Dowager Zhang and you will go see a doctor first."
"The second uncle is so pitiful that he cannot inherit the title. After the court rectified the system of vassal kings, the second uncle could not receive the favor and was seriously ill. How should he support himself in the future?" Xu Pengju asked.
"…Ahem! Ahem! Dad took this little bastard away, I don't want to take him."
"..." Xu Qi.
………
Kunning Palace.
Zhu Houzhao only has four hours of administration every day.
According to Yan Chengjin, a person can only work four hours a day, and exceeding this time, it is easy to lose his life.
The efficiency of the Lords was greatly improved, and they only presented important comments and reviewed them for him.
"My mother, where have the father been? I have something to discuss with him."
Zhu Houzhao wanted to make Zhu Zaikun the crown prince and wanted to confer the Eastern Palace to him. Where did he live?
So, I wanted the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi to free up the Qianqing Palace.
But for a long time no one has seen it.
Empress Dowager Zhang held a phoenix hairpin in her hand and put it on Princess Taiping. She looked at it left and right, and felt that it was a bit inappropriate, so she put the phoenix hairpin back into the brocade box.
"Your father looks honest, but his playfulness is more important than you. You go out of the palace to find it yourself."
"..." Zhu Houzhao.
The eunuch next to him knew where the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi had gone, and he would return to the palace every night during the curfew. Sometimes he would summon the Secretariat to study chess skills, so he should have gone out of the palace to play chess.
The sect supervisor walked in and reported that the Duke of Wei asked for a meeting.
Zhu Houzhao's brows moved slightly, and Duke Wei was sent to guard Guangdong and Guangxi, and was the Duke of the four major Dukes who held heavy troops.
Did he summon Duke of Wei to Beijing?
Who knows, maybe it was summoned by the queen mother and the queen father.
The palace gate was pushed open, and Xu Qiu walked in with his grandson and bowed to Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao's attention fell on the child beside him.
Lao Gao's son is still missing a book boy, so this doll is pretty good.
"What's your name?"
"Xu Pengju has met the new emperor, the empress dowager, and the princess Taiping."
He was as well educated as Zhu Houcang when he entered the palace and should be a good book boy. Zhu Houzhao said, "Come with me."
Xu Qi's smile was a little stiff, his thin lips moved slightly, and he pushed his grandson forward.
"The eldest father will go to find you later."
After Zhu Houzhao left, Empress Dowager Zhang said to Xu Fu: "Duke of Wei sent a message to Ai's family, not only to go to Beijing to see a doctor?"
In the early years, Duke Wei had some kindness for her choosing the crown princess.
After receiving a message from Duke of Wei, she asked the Supreme Emperor to allow Duke of Wei to enter the capital.
"Well, I want the sons of the vassal princes to enter the Imperial College to study."
This matter will be said by the civil servants to be rebellious, so he only dares to report to Empress Dowager Zhang first, and then Empress Dowager Zhang will tell the new emperor.
Although the new emperor was naughty, he was very filial to Empress Dowager Zhang.

East Warm Pavilion,
Yan Chengjin had something to report to Zhu Houzhao, but he was not seen. He saw him bringing a child back in about a moment.
"Lao Gao, how do you see the book boy he came to be the one who came?"
"Hello, Lord Yan, my name is Xu Pengju."
"Duke of Wei has entered Beijing?"
The Duke of Wei guarded Guangdong and Guangxi, and could not return to Beijing without the summons from the court.
The memorials of the Duke and the Vatican King must also pass through the cabinet.
But he did not see the memorial of Xu Qiu, Duke of Wei. What did he do secretly return to Beijing?
"I don't know either, I'm going to see my mother."
Yan Chengjin knew that the Zhang family and Duke of Wei had some friendship.
Not long after, the little eunuch came to report: "The new emperor, Xu Fu, Duke of Wei, asked for a meeting."
After meeting Zhu Houzhao, Duke Xu Qiu of Wei stood aside.
He bowed slightly and said, "This time I enter the capital, I want to seek a new emperor's transformation."
"..." Yan Chengjin.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the imperial throne, "It must be not an easy thing for you to see your mother first and then see me? Is it also for the sake of Duke Ding?"
Xu Guangzuo's descendants were enfeoffed with hundreds of households in the Jinyiwei.
The system of vassal kings stipulates that only one person can receive the kindness of his father, which means that other descendants will become common people. After hearing about Xu Guangzuo's vassal kings, they are all jealous.
"No, I want the sons of the vassal princes to study in the Imperial College, and allow them to leave their fiefdoms and do business."
In the past, children could become enemies of Jinyiwei.
After other offspring are not allowed to receive grace, this path is cut off. If you want to be self-reliant like ordinary people, you must always leave your fiefdom, right?
Nowadays, gentry is getting richer and richer. Even if the Duke does business, he still has to sneak in and dare to rely on the thousands of hectares of land he has given to support him.
Only the people are allowed to set fires, and no vassal kings are allowed to light the lamps.
Even if Emperor Gao crawled out of the coffin board, he was right.
Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought. What Duke Wei said was somewhat reasonable. Those descendants could not study or leave their fiefdoms. After becoming an adult, they were unable to support themselves at all.
One generation can still support it, if there are more generations...
In the past, these people all entered the palace to serve as the Jinyiwei households, but now they are not.
"I didn't expect that the Duke of Wei was extremely worried and dared to enter the capital to advise the new emperor, and was not afraid of being impeached by all officials?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm going to try it. It's worthwhile to have the New Emperor allowed this trip."
As Xu Fu spoke, he had already bowed to Zhu Houzhao and bowed a lot.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Xu Fu while gnawing on the wolf's pen, and there was a hint of thought hidden deep in her eyes.
"I don't allow it unless..."
"Unless what?"
"The Duke of Wei first persuades all the masters and then asks me for an order."
Zhu Houzhao was not stupid either. If all officials allowed Duke Wei to scold him, what would happen to the descendants of the vassal kings? Moreover, the pros and cons of this matter were not clear, and it would be difficult to take back the imperial edict.
Let the Duke of Wei fight with the cabinet...
Xu Fu looked up at Zhu Houzhao. The prince was quite clumsy back then and hadn't seen him for a few years. How could he improve his IQ?
"The minister submitted a memorial to the cabinet."
Yan Chengjin thought about it and after the duty, he returned to the mansion and thought for a long time. Duke of Wei was in charge of the Guangdong-Guangzhou Navy and had great strength in the south. Guangdong-Guangzhou was a key place for overseas trade in the Ming Dynasty and had serious gangs.
The good merchants have not yet entered Guangdong and Guangxi, which is the territory of Guangdong merchants.
