It was cold and windy in Changping County at night.
There are guards everywhere here, and all the lights are out at night, like a dead city.
In this deathly town, the guards are stationed every three steps to one post and five steps to one sentry.
Whenever someone makes an inquiry, Xiao Jing steps forward and gives him a token, then retreats with a look of fear on his face.
The factory guards are doing things, so don¡¯t ask anyone else.
Emperor Hongzhi finally got on the carriage. Sitting in the carriage, looking at the darkness, he couldn't help but said to Fang Jifan in the carriage: "It's strange to say, it's so lifeless here."
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, cocks and dogs hear each other. Look, aren't there really cocks crowing and dogs barking here?"
Emperor Hongzhi said with a tigerish face: "Stop talking nonsense."
He looked out the car window and ordered: "Go and tell Xiao Jing to get out of the county."
As soon as the carriage arrived at the east gate of the county town, someone took Xiao Jing's badge and went to negotiate.
How dare you neglect the city gate guards? Knowing that the factory guards had something to do and wanted to leave the city, they quickly opened a corner of the city gate and ordered Emperor Hongzhi's carriage and dozens of guards to go out.
Emperor Hongzhi was a little tired and took a nap in the carriage. After falling asleep, when he got up, he couldn't help coughing: "When is it?"
Fang Jifan was sleeping soundly on the small sofa beside him, snoring.
However, Xiao Jing outside heard the truth clearly, knocked on the door of the carriage, and said outside: "Your Majesty, it's already midnight."
Emperor Hongzhi opened the car curtain, and a ray of sunlight shone in.
Fang Jifan felt a sting in his eyes and quickly rubbed his eyes with his hands.
So Fang Jifan started to gnash his teeth and cursed while half asleep: "Things like dogs"
"Succession to the vassal domain."
Fang Jifan just opened his eyes and looked at Emperor Hongzhi. The murderous look on his face turned into gentleness. He smiled: "Ah, Your Majesty, you are awake."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I should be the one to say this."
Fang Jifan was speechless. When he just woke up, his brain hadn't turned on yet, so he was a little confused.
Emperor Hongzhi ignored Fang Jifan: "Xiao Banban, where are you now?"
"We are fifteen miles out of the city. There is snow on the road. I dare not go fast."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Don't you see the village?"
Xiao Jing hesitated.
"say."
Xiao Jing said: "I passed two villages and saw that there were not many people around."
"How is this possible? This is Changping."
"How about that, Your Majesty, we just passed a village."
¡°Let¡¯s go and have a look.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi nodded.
Since coming to Changping, he has felt uncomfortable all over, and he doesn¡¯t know why.
The carriage moved again, and after a while, the sound of reading could be heard in the distance.
The sound of reading sounds very friendly.
Emperor Hongzhi felt moved, stopped the carriage, and got out of the carriage with Fang Jifan.
This is the entrance to a village.
The snow has stopped, and the snow has covered the path in front of the village, but at this time, there are still not many people around.
Emperor Hongzhi led people into the village. There was a school in the village. In the school, an old Confucian scholar was teaching children to read.
Emperor Hongzhi felt warm in his heart.
Looking at these children, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but get excited.
The Confucian scholars in the school seemed to have seen someone coming.
So, he put down his ruler, walked out, and looked at Emperor Hongzhi and others hesitantly: "Who are you looking for?"
Emperor Hongzhi stepped forward: "May I ask Gao's name?"
"My surname is Lu, Lu Wenli."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I am Zhu Dashou."
"Zhu Dashou." The old Confucian scholar shook his head: "This name is inelegant and vulgar."
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face twitched, and then he smiled: ¡°The vulgarity is the elegance.¡±
"That makes sense." Lu Wenli's eyes lit up: "I dare to ask you"
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I passed by this place and wanted to take a rest, but there are not many people here."
Lu Wenli stroked his beard and smiled: "This is the land of Wenchang. Don't you know that the emperor has come to Changping? The emperor is knowledgeable and rational. He came here to pursue the great road. You have also heard of Mr. Mao Jimao from Dayang Mountain." "
Speaking of Mr. Mao Ji, the eyes of the old Confucian scholar shone brightly: "Mr. Mao Ji's talents are all over the world, and he has taught all over the world. Neo-Confucianism is his own."But everyone has the money to contribute and the ability to contribute. We have donated money and food, so of course the people have to contribute, right? "
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s expression softened a little.
At least, this is a reason.
Every winter is the time for the people to perform corvee service. Although the Chief Envoy of Baoding has adopted the method of replacing service with taxes, other places still require the people to serve as usual.
This is true.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "No wonder there is no one on this road."
Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Not to mention those ordinary people, since Mr. Zhu is here, let's have a light meal here. Oh, Mr. Zhu is from Beijing. A few days ago, someone spread the news, It is said thatwe are also going to build a railway in Changping. Does Mr. Zhu know about this?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised and looked at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "How do we know? Maybe there is."
Zhao Yi said with a smile: "No one usually pays attention to us in Changping, but now, the Crown Prince came to Changping Guards to train troops. Suddenly, he said that he wanted to build a railway. After that, His Majesty actually came in person. , it¡¯s really strange.¡±
Lu Wenli on the side said: "I heard that Mr. Mao Ji has some criticisms about road construction."
Zhao Yi nodded and took a sip of tea: "Yes, the people are suffering a lot. Once the road is built, it will inevitably disturb the people. At that time, I don't know how much land will be expropriated and what trouble will be caused. The first thing the people should do is, It¡¯s about educating them, otherwise it would be harming them.¡±
