Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 51

"I think if you are in this state, you should never go out, just play games with the maids in the mansion."

When Aimee Zhu heard this, she was terrified, and quickly assured Zhu Cihong, "Brother, don't do this, I will never lose my temper again."

Hearing Aimee Zhu's assurance, Zhu Cihuang's complexion turned brighter, and she said to Aimee Zhu in a soft voice, "Brother Huang knows that you are suffering from suffering here, but now it is not as bad as before, and it is a critical moment. Injury, if you go out to play, bump into it, or fall, wouldn't it make the brothers feel bad."

"How about this, if you really want to go out, just find a day and choose a place, and let Yong Wang and Ding Wang go to have fun together."

Ever since he came to Jinling and was assassinated, Zhu Cihong felt deeply that his power was weak, and he couldn't fully control the situation in Jinling, let alone guarantee the safety of those around him.

So Zhu Cihong ordered that King Yongding and Princess Changping not be allowed to go out unless he had his own consent, and he had to send a large number of entourages to guard him.

"Really? I heard that the Yuhua Terrace outside Jinling City is pretty good. I want to go and see what it looks like, can I?" Aimee Zhu stared at Zhu Cihong with her big watery eyes.

"Yuhuatai, I seem to have heard of this place." Zhu Cihong felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Yuhuatai is a well-known hill in Jinling and even in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a good place for mountaineering and sightseeing. It has attracted many literati and inkmen throughout the ages. Because of the special terrain, it is a very important commanding height near Jinling. How many wars have been fought.

The modern Yuhua Terrace is inside Jinling City, while before modern times it was outside Jinling City, a considerable distance from the city.

"Liu Bao, how far is Yuhuatai from here?" Distance is a very important issue. If the distance is too far, it will be too tiring, and their travel will have a great impact on ordinary people.

It's not just because Zhu Cihong has remembered the lesson from last time, and always thinks about bringing more guards, otherwise he will be cold if he encounters danger when going out.

Moreover, a top aristocrat like him is still a royal family, and he always pays attention to ostentation when traveling. It can be said that a large group of people surrounded by people can be said to be fundamental. Only by blocking the roads in the whole city and only allowing him to travel alone can he have the majesty of the royal family. .

"Prince, it seems that there is only fifteen miles away." Liu Bao thought for a while and said to Zhu Cihong.

Hearing Liu Bao's answer, Zhu Cilang thought about it for a while. Fifteen miles, that is, a distance of seven to eight thousand meters, is not very far.

"Okay then, Aimee, tell your servants to pack up your things. I'll order people to notify Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cijiong, and then summon the guards from the mansion."

Now that she has decided to go to Yuhuatai, Zhu Cihong must ask the servants to prepare their things. Auntie Zhu is delicate and delicate, so even if there is a gust of wind, someone needs to protect her. Fans, screens and so on must be taken.

The most important guard, Zhu Cihong, also mobilized two hundred heavy infantry from the Fifth Army Battalion, and thirty or forty cavalry. There are more than four hundred manpower.

The forty cavalry led fifty infantrymen to open the way in front, and on the left and right sides there were two-man-wide formations guarding the four sedan chairs of Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yuxi, and a hundred or ten infantrymen were behind the hall. .

On both sides of the road, as well as Nanzhili commanders and soldiers and handymen mobilized by the prefect of Jinling's Yamen, came to stand guard. They lined up on both sides of the road in a straight line, forming a human wall, preventing anyone who might break into the middle of the road. Those who are in crisis are blocked from the outside.

That scene was as grand as Jia's visit to Tiekan Temple in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions". All the soldiers and civilians in Jinling watched with their heads up.

Although the supreme power of Ming Dynasty is temporarily in the hands of King Jian Guofu and his group of interest groups, these ordinary people don't understand the twists and turns of the court.

They all thought that Zhu Cihong was the heir apparent, and he was about to ascend the throne and become the emperor of the real dragon, so people who were not on the street came to the street to watch, hoping to get a taste of Zhu Cihong's dragon spirit.

Because the road was cleared, all the streets from Prince's Mansion to Yuhuatai were cleaned up by soldiers, handymen, and government servants, so Zhu Cihong and his party traveled very fast, only taking two-thirds of Zhu Cihong's estimated time. .

……

At the foot of Yuhuatai Mountain, several young women wearing various colors of gauze saw that the mountain gate was blocked by soldiers and no one was allowed to enter. They all stood and complained.

"Oh, it's so unlucky, I encountered this kind of thing when I came out to play, and the good Yuhua Terrace was blocked, so it's useless for us to come here."

The person who spoke was Bian Yujing, one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai. She and Li Xiangjun were good friends, so they made an appointment to come here to play.

In addition, they all brought their servants and maids by their side, so their mother, Li Zhenli, felt relieved that they would come out to play.

"It just so happens that the weather is hot, and I don't want to come out to bask in the sun. I think we should go home." Since he couldn't get in, Li Xiangjun thought it would be better to go back and play mahjong with the sisters, have tea and chat.

At this moment, there are not a few people who think like them. Since they can't go in, no one wants to waste time standing here. Unfortunately, they are standing too close to the foot of the mountain, and the surrounding area is full of people. They won't be able to leave for a while. Lost.

At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of thunderous horseshoes, which was the sound that Zhu Cihong's team was about to arrive.

"The prince is here." The team came to the foot of the mountain, and after the sedan chair stopped, Liu Bao shouted at the top of his voice.

Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers standing guard nearby knelt down to salute, and the surrounding people also knelt down in large numbers. At this time, Zhu Cixiang and the others got off the sedan chair.

"Don't be close to me, it's very uncomfortable to be surrounded by airtight." After stepping off the sedan chair, several maids and servants surrounded Zhu Cihong, making him unhappy.

Just as these people dispersed, Zhu Cihong saw a familiar person in front of him, it was Li Xiangjun from Meixianglou. Seeing that he met an acquaintance, Zhu Cihong wanted to call her over and accompany him to the Yuhuatai.

So Zhu Cihong sent Liu Bao to call her over. It happened that Liu Bao and Zhu Cihong had been to Meixiang Tower together, and knew Li Xiangjun's face, so there was no need for Zhu Cihong to identify him.
