After knowing that this place was the emperor's hometown, the soldiers following Zhu Cihong immediately stopped smiling and became serious.

To them, Emperor Xuanyuan Huang was definitely the true god, and they did not dare to blaspheme him at all.

Seeing that the crown prince was about to enter Xuanyuan Temple, Hu Bao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Cihong and whispered:

"Young Master, you are not prepared to burn incense when entering, so you should worship outside!"

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly:

"Who told you that you were not prepared..."

While he was talking, two high incense sticks appeared in Zhu Cixiang's hand, which were the pagoda-like incense sticks used in temples in later generations!

Hu Bao had never seen this kind of fragrance before, and was immediately startled. He thought to himself, what kind of fragrance was this? But he shut up immediately after looking at Huangdi Body Sculpting.

"Here's some for you!"

Zhu Cihong handed one of the incense sticks to Hu Bao, and then gave him a windproof lighter.

"Master, this is..."

Hu Bao was confused again when he held a lighter. He had never seen it before, let alone how to use it!

Zhu Cihong asked Hu Bao to put his thumb on the electronic lighter:

"Automatic fire starter, just press this place..."

"Snapped……"

"ah……"

Hu Bao immediately pushed his thumb hard, and a burst of fire suddenly rose into the sky. Hu Bao was so startled that he almost dropped the lighter...

But I quickly realized that this is an automatic fire starter:

"Oh my god, I'm so awesome..."

Zhu Cixi could imagine Hu Bao's shock. He did not ignore the young eunuch, but immediately lit the incense in his hand and placed it in the incense burner.

Hu Bao was not slow in his movements. He quickly placed the incense he had lit on the incense burner and immediately retreated behind the young master!

At this time, more than a hundred people outside were divided into three rows, all lined up neatly to wait for the Crown Prince's next move.

Seeing the crown prince kneel down and worship three times, they immediately followed him and knelt down to worship their ancestor Huangdi Xuanyuan!

"My ancestor, Xuanyuan, please accept Zhu Cihong's worship. Today, there will be disasters and people are dying of hunger all over the land. Your descendants are suffering from famine disasters.

Please, our ancestors, bless famines and famines to go away, so that they will no longer bother your descendants, and bless China to have good weather and good food for everyone.

Please give me the power to lead my subordinates to kill corrupt officials, exterminate slaves, unite the country and the world, and create a prosperous age for China..."

After kneeling down and praying, Zhu Cixiang stood up and walked out of Xuanyuan Temple. He stood in front of the temple and meditated for a moment and said:

"Ancestor has a reward, you all close your eyes and see what the reward is!"

Ancient people were far more superstitious than later generations. When they heard that their ancestors were offering rewards, they quickly closed their eyes.

Zhu Cixiang took the opportunity to redeem ten more fireworks at the system store.

"Okay, open your eyes!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately opened their eyes and were surprised to find ten cardboard boxes in front of them.

Cao Bianjiao cupped his hands and said:

"Your Highness, what did our ancestors reward our subordinates?"

Zhu Cixi shook his head:

"I don't know, it looks like fireworks. Ten of you come here and light the fuses at the same time..."

Zhu Cixiang took out ten more lighters and taught them how to use them!

"You must light the fuse on the carton together and retreat immediately..."

The ten soldiers nodded, then walked to the fireworks. They shouted a slogan, lit the fuses of the fireworks almost at the same time and immediately retreated!

"Chi chi chi..."

"Bang bang bang..."

Ten fireworks emitted lines of fire, and suddenly countless flames shot up into the sky and exploded.

Countless gorgeous fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky, and everyone's eyes were bright and they were full of praise:

"it's beautiful……"

In the middle of the fireworks, countless gorgeous fireworks suddenly began to change, and even formed four words in the air:

“The country is peaceful and the people are safe!”

When they saw the four Chinese characters "Guotai Minan", all the soldiers who knew the characters were surprised and happy, and immediately fell to their knees.

When the illiterate saw the generals kneeling, they immediately followed suit and fell to the ground.

Seeing the generals raising their arms and shouting, they also followed suit and cheered loudly:

"Look, look, look, Emperor Xuanyuan has appeared, and the crown prince is a real dragon descending to earth..."

After returning to the military camp, the guards of the East Palace immediately told other soldiers about the appearance of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi. Soon, the news of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi's appearance spread in the military camp...

Zhu Cixiang did not stop this, and allowed his soldiers to spread it. The wider the spread, the better!

The next day, the army continued on its way. The road ahead was much easier, and it was all an endless plain.

If they didn't collect for three hundred nights, they would have been sent out by Zhu Cixiang. They kept going back and forth to report intelligence from the front.

Zhu Cixi paid special attention to the crops in the fields on both sides, which were basically sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Because the land inventory was very tight, the wheat planting season had already passed by the time the land was distributed to farmers.

Based on Zhu Cihong's understanding of the late Ming Dynasty, there will be severe locust plagues in Henan and other places this year, and there may not be a harvest of wheat crops, and it is very likely that they will be wiped out by locusts!

So planting all potatoes and sweet potatoes may seem abnormal, but it is the best way to deal with locusts!

Along the way, the fields were full of green potatoes and sweet potatoes, which was very pleasing to look at.

Just by looking at the potato seedlings and sweet potato seedlings in the field, Zhu Cihong knew that the disaster relief effect was good.

If it were still like the tragic situation of starvation and death all over the fields when I first arrived in Henan last year, all the green crops in the fields would have been eaten up long ago.

After the army arrived in southern Henan, its marching speed was obviously much faster. It only took one day to cross the Luohe River in Xuchang and enter Taikang in Zhoukou.

Rested one night outside Taikang City, and then entered Zhengyang County, Runing Prefecture.

A few dozen miles ahead is the Xiaohuang River. After crossing the Xiaohuang River, you enter Luoshan County.

Speaking of Luoshan, Zhu Cihong felt a little unhappy. It wasn't that he didn't like Luoshan, but that his general Sun Yingyuan died in Luoshan in history.

Zhu Cixang sent an order to camp for the night on the north bank of Xiaohuang River, and crossed the Xiaohuang River into Luoshan early the next morning.

Capital

When Zhu Cihong was in the capital, Chongzhen was either fishing or playing mahjong, as if he wanted to make up for all the hard days of being emperor.

Two days after Zhu Cixiang left the capital, Emperor Chongzhen continued to do so.

On the third day, he suddenly stopped all entertainment activities and prepared to inspect the results of the prince's supervision of the country.

"Wang Daban, get ready, I am going to visit incognito today!"

Chongzhen's abrupt words almost scared Wang Chengen's soul away.

In the past, when the crown prince was in the capital, it didn't matter where the emperor went. With the royal guards and the national protective army around, who would dare to cause trouble!

But it was different now. The Crown Prince was not here, and he had taken away most of the troops of the National Guard Army. He was worried that the Crown Prince would be in danger if he went out!

Worried about the emperor's safety, Lao Wang hurriedly advised:

"Your Majesty, you can't. I'm not in the capital. It's not safe to go out..."

Hearing this, Chongzhen waved his hands hurriedly:

"It doesn't matter. Is it more dangerous for me to leave the palace for a private visit than for the prince to lead the troops to fight? Inform Queen Yi'an and Queen Zhou, and also bring Princess Kunxing and Prince Ding with you.

Since they have been bored in the palace, I want to take them out for a walk and let them see the effect of the prince's supervision of the country.

Just inform Li Ruolian and Fang Zhenghua and ask them to send people to protect you secretly. I don’t want to make a big show of it and make it known to the whole world!"

"It's not safe for your Majesty to be like this. It's better to wait until I come back before leaving the palace. That will be safer..."

It was okay to go out alone, but he actually brought two queens, princesses and princes with him. Lao Wang suddenly felt his scalp numb.

But just as Lao Wang was about to give some advice, Chongzhen suddenly turned against him:

"Stop talking nonsense and get ready quickly. Do I need your approval to do things? Who is the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I'll go make arrangements right away..."

The loyal old Wang suddenly trembled. He didn't dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly made arrangements for Chongzhen's trip.

Lao Wang hurriedly found Li Ruolian first. Before Li Ruolian could ask, Lao Wang hurriedly said:

"Master Li, the emperor wants to take the queen and the prince out of the palace, and asks you to send someone to protect him secretly!"
