Chapter 95: On the Prince Canal

Chapter 95                                                             �

Zhu Qizhen took a break in Lanzhou for several days.

First, Zhu Qizhen went out for a trip, not a rush, so he didn't have to go so fast. Second, he traveled from Zhaozhou Prefecture to Lanzhou. It took more than two months to travel the most remote place in the north of the Ming Dynasty. It was not a matter of climbing ice and lying on blood, but it was also a breeze against the wind and sand. Even though he had several rests, the fatigue of many people was lingering.

Especially some civil servants, this is a hardship they have never suffered in their entire lives.

Zhu Qizhen always had to take care of his officials and workers.

Zhu Qizhen took the ministers to inspect the Prince's Que.

The Prince's Canal is northwest of Lanzhou, that is, from Lanzhou to Ningxia. It is an undercurrent. In fact, there is nothing to be inspected. There is no such undercurrent in the entire northwest of this kind, and there are eight hundred. It is a very ordinary river canal. The only difference is that the Prince's in charge of artificial construction was built by him.

Han Wen naturally knew where Zhu Qizhen was concerned.

So I found some old people in the local area, who were the ones who followed the prince to build the canals.

Let them talk about the situation of the prince’s construction of the canal back then.

Of course, it is said that the sky is full of splendor, and the prince is praised as a flower.

Zhu Qizhen naturally knew the moisture, but he was very happy to hear it. He was also a little sad. At that time, Zhu Qizhen was afraid that the prince would not understand the sufferings of the world, so he wanted the prince to suffer more in the most difficult places. However, now when he remembered that when the prince was digging a cryptanadu here, he hid his identity and went down the canal to dig soil himself.

All day long.

That's fine.

But Zhu Qizhen knew that the excavation of this kind of culvert was actually dangerous, because it was easy to collapse. Although it was only a few meters high in soil, it was enough to suffocate one person.

When Zhu Qizhen thought of this, he suddenly said, "Put the rope. I'll go down and take a look."

When Qiu Jun and Han Wen heard this, they said in unison: "Your Majesty cannot."

After hearing this, Han Wen stopped talking and asked Qiu Jun to speak first. After all, Qiu Jun is his superior. Qiu Jun said, "Your Majesty, don't go deep into the dangerous place."

Zhu Qizhen said: "What are the dangers or not? Do the people don't repair this canal every year?"

No water conservancy project can be done as soon as it is built, but it needs to be maintained every year. If it is not maintained, it will soon be useless in disrepair.

After hearing this, Han Wen immediately said, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this channel."

Zhu Qizhen immediately frowned and said, "What's the problem?"

This is the canal built by the prince. In fact, there are so many water conservancy projects in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no problem with it. But it is precisely because the prince built it, it has a very special political meaning. As soon as Han Wen said it, Zhu Qizhen felt something was wrong. If Zhu Qizhen knew Han Wen, he had the form of a minister, and would not talk nonsense.

At that time, I thought Han Wen intended to attack the prince with this.

Han Wen naturally knew about this situation, but when Zhu Qizhen was interested in inspecting the Prince's Canal, Han Wen sent someone to explore the Prince's Canal. If you don't look at it, you will have a big problem for yourself as soon as you see it. He kept praying that the emperor would just take a look outside and never think about going down the canal.

But he didn't expect that he couldn't hide. He still had to spread his mind.

He is not unaware of the political meaning here, but facts are facts.

He said: "In the past few years, Ningxia has had earthquakes year by year, with two or even three earthquakes in a year. There are many cracks in the Prince's Canal. The widest one can accommodate one arm, and it is not bottom-out. I will never dare to let Your Majesty enter this dangerous place."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen turned around and looked at Huai'en. Huai'en felt guilty and immediately sent someone to check it out.

After a while, several Jinyiwei climbed up from under the Prince's Canal and nodded to Huai'en.

Zhu Qizhen was so angry that he was out of nowhere.

If he knew that there was such a thing, he would never have come to see Prince Qu.

Generally speaking, the ancients did not use the name of the Hequ City. This habit comes from a story.

The canal used by Zhibo to flood Zhao Jinyang was named Zhibo. The canal was destroyed and people died. Now the river channel is not the official name of Prince's Que, but the name of Prince's Que is too loud, which has surpassed its real name.

Originally, it was normal for Prince's Canal to be broken due to an earthquake. If you don't pay attention, there will be nothing to do.

However, Zhu Qizhen was the focus of attention in the Ming Dynasty political arena. Today, I don’t know how many rumors will spread. Zhu Qizhen sneered: “Hui'en, you are old.”

Huai'en was so scared that she knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, but she didn't dare to say a word. He knew that he would say more and make more mistakes at this moment, and he would be less and less wrong. Only by pretending to be pitiful can there be a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough, when Zhu Qizhen saw Huai'en's gray hair, he sighed slightly and said in his heart: "If you are old, just be old, because I am old too."

When Zhu Qizhen was trying to end the show, he heard someone outside shouting: "Western urgent report."

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "Biography."

Then a dusty postman was helped in. When he saw the emperor, he dared to take off the box on his back and present it with both hands.

The postman conveyed such urgent retribution, but he took all his life and did not dare not ignore it.

Once he loses his life, not only his own life, but also his whole family's life will be over. Therefore, he has been riding a horse for more than a thousand miles, but now his legs are bent and cannot move. He cannot hand over the urgent report to others. Even if he is dragged in, he has to hand it over to Yousi himself.

Zhu Qizhen asked Huai'en to reward the postman without mentioning it.

Huai'en opened the box, opened a volume of documents inside, presented them with both hands, Zhu Qizhen opened it and looked at it, and after reading it, he smiled and said, "The Borjijin family is a little angry."

Then he handed the memorial to the ministers around him to read.

What is mentioned here is nothing else, but the various things between the prince and the Khanate Kingdom, which are rich in color, which illustrates the ins and outs of the Khanate.

After everyone around him finished reading it, Zhu Qizhen asked, "What do you think?"

Qiu Jun was the first to speak, saying, "I think what the Crown Prince said is very true. Your Majesty has been in operation for more than ten years since his majesty launched troops in Southeast Asia. Although the treasury can still support it, it should be slowed down. Even if the land of the Ganges is rich, it is not what I need in the Ming Dynasty today."

"At the end of the strong crossbow, you cannot penetrate Lu silk, please think twice."

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and asked Shi Biao, "What should Shi Qing think he should do it?"

Shi Biao said: "I am grateful that the location of the Khanate of the Hoshuot Khanate is like a thorn."

Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly.

At any time, you need to be rhythmic, writing articles, governing the country, and even expanding territory.

In fact, after the Ming Dynasty occupied Nanyang, it had already used enough power. If you want to expand again, it would be best to rest and recuperate for a while. The Battle of Myanmar was actually not within the overall plan of Zhu Qizhen. In other words, the entire Battle of Myanmar was actually an overdrawn of the Ming Dynasty's national strength.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty has a strong foundation and strong power. It doesn’t care about these overdrafts, but it can be done without a single one.

Don’t think that you will win before, and you will win in the future.

This is just an illusion.

The boundary of the projection of the Ming Dynasty's power is almost the same.

Shi Biao may not be able to explain the truth in detail, but through the map alone, he could feel that fighting the Hoshuot Khanate is probably not much easier than hitting the tile thorns. If the Ming Dynasty leaves the tile thorns, is it necessary to travel across the ocean to fight the Hoshuot Khanate?

Zhu Qizhen said, "Okay, let's enthrone Heshuote Khan, for----" Zhu Qizhen paused, as if thinking about the kind of king title, and said, "Maroon King."

Zhu Qizhen conferred Heshuot Khan as the Mauryan King, not a random title, but because there was a Mauryan dynasty in ancient India and a dynasty that believed in Buddhism, it seemed different from the land of the Heshuot Khanate today. This kind of title was named after the ancient country, which was a very formal method of enthronement.

However, in the future, the Khanate of the Hoshoth Khanate will be called the Peacock Kingdom.

Qiu Jun said, "Your Majesty, the prince's return to the capital."

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Qiu Jun and said, "It's accurate, let him go to Nanjing. Calculate the time. He has finished the Western affairs, and I probably have arrived in Nanjing too."

When he left the capital, Zhu Qizhen had already let go of a lot. As he walked along the way, he saw the grassland, the Tianshan Mountains, and the desert, and his mind was much broader. He had adjusted his mindset and prepared to give up the position of the emperor to the crown prince. Although it was still a bit troublesome to do things.

It is estimated that it will not be possible within one year.

But Zhu Qizhen had made up his mind and the prince needed to return to Beijing.

As the crown prince, Zhu Jianjun is qualified, but local officials are still different from central officials. As the crown prince, there is still a difference between the emperor. Zhu Qizhen also needs to call the crown prince back to the capital and train him well before he can finally hand over the power to the crown prince.

I hope the prince can be a good emperor.

And today, something happened like this. Zhu Qizhen himself needs to make a statement.

Otherwise, the prince's fate would be ruined. I don't know what this matter is like by people outside, and how many political metaphors are interpreted. Even if there is no such thing as today, Zhu Qizhen would do a few things, and he had no intention of changing the prince. Since the prince asked again, let's agree.

Qiu Jun couldn't believe it as soon as he heard Zhu Qizhen's words.

After all, Zhu Qizhen's stubbornness in this matter is visible to many people. Qiu Jun did not expect Zhu Qizhen to agree. He couldn't react for a moment. He was stunned for a moment, immediately stepped out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Qiu Jun did this, and most of the civil servants behind Qiu Jun came out and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Qizhen smiled softly and said, "I'm tired, so let's go here today."
