Chapter 1245: Jiajing Patrols the Border (II)
When Xu Jin left the palace with He Zhi'er, he said that he would re-enter the palace tomorrow, but as soon as it was dark, Jiajing came to the door with a few personal guards, which really responded to the sentence "I don't see you for a day, such as every three autumns", of course, Jiajing remembered that it was his Zhi'er sister, not Xu Jin's eldest brother.
Zhao Datou's goods took a closer look at the light emitted by the lantern, and finally recognized that the little white face dressed by the scholar in front of him was the current Zi Jiajing, and he couldn't help but be startled, and said authentically: "The emperor...... Huang Gongzi is here! ”
Jiajing nodded approvingly and said, "Big head, it's okay, you're smarter than before, where is your brother Qian?" The younger brother came to visit. ”
Zhao Da grinned like a toothache and said, "Grandpa Yasukuni is in the middle courtyard, and the little one will take you in." ”
"Dare to be kind, be quick!" Jiajing snapped and put away the gold-painted folding fan, and followed Zhao Datou's ass to the backyard.
The mansion of the king of Dai is five, the first two and the last three, and Xu Jin lives in the middle courtyard. Jiajing followed Zhao Datou through two moon gates and two corridors, and finally came to the middle courtyard, and couldn't help muttering: "Xu Qing's mansion is really not small, it is bigger than the Wude Hall of the Imperial Palace." ”
Zhao Datou was a fool with the tip of his ears, and replied heartlessly: "The house belongs to the king, can it be big?" The Acting King's Mansion is dozens of times bigger than this. ”
Jiajing couldn't help but be relieved, it turned out that the house was the king's, no wonder it was so luxurious, how could it be reasonable, these local vassal kings were rich, and they were all rich, fortunately, I have now implemented the title downgrading system, whether it is the royal family, or the nobles, each hereditary generation will be downgraded by one level, if I continue to follow the previous set, my Ming treasury will sooner or later be dragged down by the huge clan, so Xu Qing is still far-sighted, and solves this big hidden danger for my Daming country.
Jiajing was thinking about it, and met a person who came over with a lantern, with a slender figure and long legs, obviously a woman.
"Fourth Lady!" Zhao Datou stood still and shouted.
It was Xue Bingxin who was walking on the opposite side, and I saw her holding a lantern in her right hand and a long sword in her left hand that never left her body, and several Ouchi guards immediately subconsciously protected Jiajing.
Xue Bingxin said curiously: "Lao Zhao, there are guests?" ”
"Well, Huang Gongzi is here to visit Dashuai!" Zhao Datou said with a big grin.
Xue Bingxin glanced behind Zhao Datou through the light, and didn't sigh in her heart, what Huang Gongzi, isn't this Jiajing today? I only see it during the day.
Xue Bingxin hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Grandpa Guo is in the study, you can bring the guests in!" With that, he walked straight over.
Jiajing watched Xue Bingxin leave with a somewhat complicated face, carefully calculated that Xue Bingxin was also a member of the Daming Sect, but she was the daughter of the anti-king, and her cousin Ming Wuzong was beheaded all over the house, so her sect identity can never be restored again, and she saw that Xu Jin's forgiveness of him was already benevolent and righteous.
But then again, this woman's appearance is indeed beautiful, and compared with Sister Yongfu, she is also between the best, no wonder Xu Jin didn't even care about his life for this woman, how can this be reasonable, I spared your beauty, but you "robbed" my beauty.
Jiajing came to Xu Jin's study in a daze, and without waiting for Zhao Datou's report, he pushed the door straight in, and said loudly: "Where is Xu Ziqian!" ”
Xu Jin, who was holding a pen at the desk, was startled, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Houxi's kid walking in with an unkind expression, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "See the emperor!" ”
Jiajing stretched out his palm and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, what about my sister Zhi'er?" Come back quickly! ”
Xu Jin couldn't help crying and laughing: "Zhi'er and Xin'er live together, don't bother the emperor, your old man." ”
"How can it be reasonable, you can live in the same house with your own woman, why can't I?" Jiajing sat on the Taishi chair angrily.
"Ahem...... The emperor's words are bad, although Zhi'er is about to enter the palace, but before entering the palace, she is not the emperor's woman, but the minister's sister, the emperor is the king of a country, be cautious, it is not good to spread out! ”
Jiajing rolled his eyes and said: "Be cautious, in addition to you and me here, are you afraid that outsiders will not be able to listen to it." ”
Zhao Datou outside the door was startled, covered his ears and ran away, while comforting himself: "I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear it, I just didn't hear it!" ”
Xu Jin said with a dry smile: "The gentleman is cautious, does not deceive the dark room, and does not deceive his heart with self-shepherd." ”
Jiajing pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "Don't follow me sour, then General Xue has never officially entered the door of your Xu family, but lives with you, you only allow Guogong to set fires, and I am not allowed to light lamps." ”
Xu Jin said with a calm expression: "The emperor doesn't know that the two young sons of the Xu family can make soy sauce, isn't it normal for the old husband and wife to live together?" ”
Jiajing was suddenly swallowed and rolled his eyes, and said, "Shameless...... Hey, what is this? ”
Jiajing's eyes were suddenly attracted by the map on the bookcase, and he walked up quickly, only to see a rooster-shaped map on the bookcase, which seemed to have been drawn by Xu Jin himself with charcoal, and the lines were simple and clear, but he hadn't finished drawing yet.
Jiajing's eyes lit up and said, "This is ...... My map of the Ming Dynasty? Hey, it's not quite like that! ”
The map drawn by Xu Jin is the map of China in later generations, but with the addition of Outer Mongolia, the Far East, and Vietnam, the area is much larger, and I have nothing to do these days, so I drew it casually.
Xu Jin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is the map of the Ming Dynasty, but these places have not been included for the time being." As he spoke, he pointed to Xinjiang and the Warat region on the map.
Jiajing suddenly became excited, but temporarily put his beauty behind, pointed to Vietnam on the map and said, "This is Annan?" ”
"Exactly!" Xu Jin nodded.
"Annan is so small, the shape is like an earthworm, it's the first time I've seen it, and this whole map, how do I feel that the more I look at it, the more I look like a big rooster, well, if you erase the Mobei region, it will be more like." Jiajing said authentically.
Although the Ming Dynasty also has a map of the whole country, but the ancient map is only a one-sided local cognition, how can there be modern advanced surveying and mapping technology, only a satellite photo, the entire map outline shape will come out, so the shape of the ancient map is very different from the modern one, no wonder Jiajing will be amazed.
Xu Jin smiled: "The outline of our Daming's map is indeed a bit like a rooster, but the chicken butt doesn't belong to Daming yet." ”
Jiajing said with a smile: "It's going to be soon, Yu Dayou still has two brushes to fight, by the way, I plan to send him to Annan as the commander of the capital after the three shots get married, what do you think?" ”
