Zhang Weixian is gone.

Zhu Youxiao really didn't care much. If this matter was really to be done, he wouldn't have allowed Zhang Weixian to do it alone. Instead, he needed to make careful arrangements and make close arrangements, otherwise it would be easy to fail and the impact would be great.

It is impossible for me to ruin my plan because of the temporary study of Duke Ding. However, I can indeed plan this matter and take advantage of this time to go to Shandong.

In the next few days, there was nothing big in the court. There was only one thing that everyone was busy with, that was the matter of Zhu Youxiao leaving Beijing.

After all, the emperor left Beijing, it was not a trivial matter, so countless people began to get busy.

In fact, although it is not common for emperors of the Ming Dynasty to go south, they have not been uncommon.

At that time, Emperor Zhengde liked to leave the capital and also liked to visit privately in private; Emperor Jiajing once left the capital and went to Nanjing to pay homage. It can be said that the emperor's departure from the capital was not a horrifying thing.

However, since Emperor Jiajing, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty seem unwilling to leave the capital.

Like Emperor Wanli, he hid in the palace and did not go out at all, and he didn't even go to the court. After Wanli, Taichang was born, and he died after being the emperor for a month.

Until now, when the emperor is going out, everyone is still a little uncomfortable. However, this kind of thing is not something you are used to or not, and you can't stop the emperor from leaving.

When the emperor left the capital, it became a very, very important personnel arrangement if he accompanied the emperor. After all, if he could be with the emperor, he might be able to be valued by the royal family.

The four cabinet masters accompanied them together, namely Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet and Huang Kezhang, the Grand Secretary of the cabinet.

As for whom the civil servants went, Zhu Youxiao gave it to Xu Guangqi and the others to arrange it.

Zhu Youxiao is mainly concerned about the personnel arrangements of the Staff Office.

Zhang Weixian must follow. In addition to Zhang Weixian, Zhu Youxiao also called Ding Guo Duke Xu Xi.

After these two princes, Yuan Keli, and Zhu Youxiao was also preparing to take him. In addition to these two staff officers, the others were all walks of the staff officer.

For example, Sun Chuanting, Zhang Yu, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao. Liu Xian, Wu Xiang and Zhu Youxiao were also brought with them.

It is good to let these young people go out for a walk, not to mention that Zhu Youxiao also wants to contact them. These are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty and the military personnel that Zhu Youxiao is preparing to reuse.

In addition, this time, Zhu Youxiao transferred Qi Jin to follow him, and the entourage guarded the 5,000 troops from the Tiger Roar Camp, so there was no need for more. Zhu Youxiao believed that these 5,000 people could solve a big problem.

After the entourage determines, it will determine the way to travel.

As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao naturally could not walk, so he took a big boat and headed south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

As for the men led by Qi Jin, they were guarding the river along the banks of the river.

In March, the willows are swaying, which is a good time for the spring breeze to bring warmth.

On this day, all the martial law was strictly imposed on the Tongzhou Wharf, and no one could come here. Within a few miles, there were traces of the army, and no one dared to get close.

There was a very majestic and majestic ship parked on the pier, and all the other ships were parked far away on the water.

Zhu Youxiao brought civil and military officials who followed him to the Tongzhou Wharf, and then boarded the big ship together.

When the sun was about to rise to the middle, the ship slowly started and slowly moved south along the Grand Canal.

Zhu Youxiao stood at the bow of the boat, letting the breeze blow on his face, looking at the green on both sides of the canal, feeling very comfortable, and he felt much better.

Walking out of the palace, it really feels like the sky is wide and the earth is wide.

Beside Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi and Zhang Weixian were both there. They were able to accompany Zhu Youxiao and take the same boat with Zhu Youxiao, so of course there were only these big guys.

Like Lu Xiangsheng and the others have already arrived on the boat behind.

As he walked around the road, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry to rush, so he walked slowly. Originally, there were some fresh meanings a few days ago, but after some time, it was annoying to simply rush the road.

When he arrived in Texas, Zhu Youxiao finally didn't want to continue walking.

After looking at Chen Hong who was standing beside him, Zhu Youxiao said, "Go and summon Xu Guangqi and the others to me immediately. I have something to discuss with them."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly agreed.

It didn't take long, and Xu Guangqi and the others came.

Seeing that they were about to salute, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be salute anymore, come and sit down and talk."

After several people sat down, Zhu Youxiao continued: "I've been tired these days and I'll be in Dezhou tomorrow. Why not take a few days off in Dezhou? I happened to get off the boat and take a walk, take a look at the folk style, appreciate the scenery of my Ming Dynasty, and take a look at the lives of the people in the Ming Dynasty."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Xu Guangqi and his friends' hearts trembled, which is called what they are afraid of.

For the few people present, His Majesty's departure from the boat was a very worrying thing.

If Your Majesty was just playing, that would be fine. But everyone present knew that Your Majesty was not the kind of person who was just playing.

For Your Majesty, looking at people, things, and things is much more important than traveling. Once Your Majesty arrives in Texas, you may be able to see something.

You should know that there was a major earthquake in Shandong this year, and it affected Henan and Nanzhili. Although Texas was not affected by the disaster, there was no problem with this.

For the ministers present, it would be very troublesome if His Majesty caused trouble.

However, there are some people who don’t care, such as Xu Guangqi and Huang Kezhang. Both of them are cabinet ministers. If some local officials really make trouble, they don’t have much to do with them.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian and Ding Guo Xu Xi were even less concerned. Local affairs had nothing to do with them, and they didn’t think there was anything wrong with them.

I was sitting on the boat for several days, and I was really tired, so it would be nice to go down and take a walk.

So Zhang Weixian said, "Of course, everyone listens to Your Majesty. Your Majesty wants to understand the people's sentiment, which shows Your Majesty's love for the people. It just so happened that I got off the boat and walked away. Speaking of which, I haven't left the capital for a long time, so I just happened to take a look around."

Xu Guangqi glanced at Zhang Weixian and knew that he was not kind-hearted. But now His Majesty is in high spirits, so he naturally cannot say anything to stop him.

So Xu Guangqi also said, "Your Majesty will definitely be fine when you go down to see. But this guard must be done well. Will General Qi Jin arrive?"

"He has already prepared his people." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Let's go down tomorrow."

"Would you like to inform the local officials?" Huang Kezhang said, "Let them welcome the dock?"

"No need for this." Zhu Youxiao said after thinking about it.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao never thought of secreting his whereabouts because it was impossible to hide. As long as his ship left Tongzhou Wharf, he would definitely be targeted.

It is impossible for officials and government officials along the way to leave their sight. Only after their imperial ships walked past their jurisdiction could they breathe a sigh of relief; otherwise, their hearts would be in their throats.

As long as your boat stops at the Texas Pier tomorrow, people from Texas will know. If they do not inform them to come and welcome them, they will definitely come.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had no intention of notifying the local government, Huang Kezhang nodded and said, "Your Majesty does not want to disturb the local area, which shows your Majesty's kindness in keeping with the people."

Looking at Huang Kezhang and looking at Xu Guangqi again, Zhu Youxiao seemed to have some understanding.

He seemed to understand something, why the people under Emperor Chenghua were called the Three Pavilions of Paper and the Six Sects of Clay Sculptures. The big reason was that they did not object and liked to flatter.

For example, it is impossible for these ministers to say that they are not capable of it. However, as he is good at flattering, he says good things inadvertently, and his attitude is sincere and his tone seems to be said from the bottom of his heart.

Great, amazing.

However, this thought just flashed by, and more were replaced by the excitement of getting off the boat.

The next morning, the imperial ship leaned on the Texas Pier.

There had been people guarding the pier long ago. Qi Jun had already led people to wait here, and the standing straight people were already lined up in all directions.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived, officials from all over the world were already waiting here.

The magistrate of Dezhou, Liu Mao, had cold sweat on his face and was about to slap his body. Naturally, he could not go to the nearest to meet him, so he could only watch from a distance, but he was also scared to death.

The other officials around Liu Mao looked similar to him.

"Sir, at this time, don't hide it. Is there any letter from the capital? Why did Your Majesty get off the boat in our Texas?" said an official in his fifties next to Dezhou prefect Liu Mao. His expression was very nervous and he was full of fear.

His Majesty had no plan to stay in Texas, but he made this decision suddenly. When they received the news, His Majesty's ship had already reached the Texas Pier.

After receiving the news that His Majesty was about to get off the boat, they were frightened. They had no plans, but suddenly stopped. Something must have happened. And the matter should have something to do with them, and they couldn't help but be afraid.

Liu Mao glanced at the official who was talking, and it was his co-master Zhang Kang.

"Would I be so scared if I knew it?" Liu Mao said angrily: "The incident happened suddenly, how could the news in the capital be so fast? Besides, the news in the capital may not be accurate."
