The emperor's patrol is not an exception, it is ordinary, but every time the emperor goes on patrol, it can't be regarded as a trivial matter, it's not a matter of patting his head and saying "I want to go on patrol" when I think of it, and then I can start immediately with my hind feet.

"Your Majesty wants to go out to patrol the Japanese Islands, you must inform the Governor's Palace in advance to build a palace, you must order the navy to clean the waterways along the way, and at the same time, you must also order the shipbuilding bases in various places to build ships that conform to etiquette...... "Shusun Tong said a lot of preparations that the emperor must make before going on patrol, and pinched his fingers and said: "I am afraid that all preparations will not be completed without two or three years." ”

The ministers and workers present all nodded in unison, they are not working for the grass platform team, and Lu Zhe is not the king of the cottage, they are the center of the vast territory, and they are the only Zhengshuo on the mainland, how can they act hastily in everything? To do things is to pay attention to pomp, not only to pay attention to pomp but also to conform to etiquette, which is to obey the so-called etiquette law.

Of course, Lu Zhe knew that this would be the result, so he smiled and looked at Xiao He, and then at Luo Shao.

"Your Majesty, the minister will immediately issue a notice to the Governor's Office of the Japanese Islands." Xiao He said about building the palace, and then said: "The relevant ships used for the patrol will also start to be built immediately." ”

Luo Shao also nodded and said, "Why doesn't Your Majesty inspect the mainland first?" The 'world' has just been decided, and there are differences in people's livelihood in different places, so it is good to see it with your own eyes. ”

In fact, they basically saw that Lu Zhe was bored after staying in Nanling for too long.

Lu Zhe has been staying in Nanling since the Battle of the Northern Expedition and has not moved his nest, and he was basically in the palace when he was in Nanling, and only a very small time did he have the opportunity to move on various rituals and ceremonial occasions.

Even if a person likes "home", but after a long time, he will always feel bored, and now Lu Zhe really feels bored, and he knew that it was impossible to go out to patrol the Japanese archipelago at the beginning, and he set the tone that he would go to the Japanese archipelago to inspect, and the real intention was to walk around the mainland.

"Let's go to Yiling first." Lu Zhe is very kind, he said a location, thought about it and said: "Where to go next, let's discuss it again." ”

All the ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

When Lu Zhe went to Yiling, it was nothing more than going to the Martyrs' Garden over there.

The Martyrs' Garden in Yiling has been built for four years, and four years have passed since the construction was put into use, and the soldiers who have died in battle have been placed in the Martyrs' Garden.

More than ten years ago, Lu Zhe raised troops from Yiling, and after countless battles large and small, the remains of many soldiers who followed Lu Zhe and died on the battlefield were not actually collected, and it was because of Lu Zhe's order. The army searched carefully to find it, and every time it found the bones of a soldier, it would also be placed in the Martyrs' Garden.

At present, the number of famous fallen soldiers in the Martyrs' Garden in Yiling is 36,006, and the number of fallen soldiers whose names cannot be studied is 83,027.

In fact, it is possible to study the dead in the army to start with the nameplate, although it is possible to record who died before the nameplate is not configured, but the difficulty is not ordinarily small, and sometimes there will be mistakes.

Local inspections are not just a matter of walking, and it takes a while to adjust the administration, such as urgent matters to be dealt with urgently. After arranging the corresponding communication duty personnel, it took about five days to really set off.

Nanling is not too far from Yiling, in fact, Nanling is located in the plain area between Yiling and Gangneung, if it is divided according to the nature of the region. The scope of Namneung has already enclosed part of the land of Yiling and Gangneung.

"Father, where are we going this time?" Four or five-year-olds are the time for their voices.

The girl who spoke was Lu Zhe's fourth daughter, Lu Ting, who is five years old this year. She and several younger siblings shared a car with Lu Zhe.

To go to Yiling from Nanling, you need to walk closer to the West Gate, but there have been some etiquette in China since ancient times. Like what kind of people should do what kind of things, what kind of interests should princes and kings have when they go on patrol.

Generally speaking, the north and east sides of the ancient rituals were considered to be a type of "positive position". It is also part of the "grand gift". To put it simply, there is a fixed passage for the Son of Heaven to go out of the city, and it is not a direct choice of which one is closer to the direction.

The emperor went on patrol, nearly 100 civil and military officials, almost all of the royal family were dispatched, serving the attendants of the royal family, plus the relatives and retinues of civil and military officials, the number of idle people exceeded 3,000 people, and there were also 50,000 regiments of the forbidden army.

The cavalry of the forbidden army opened the road and walked in the middle of the national highway. The road in the middle has a special name, that is called "Tianzi Road", but it is not only the ruler can walk, the local government or post station to transmit official letters or other information to the center, the messenger also takes that road, which can be regarded as an administrative channel.

The citizens of Nanling saw the huge pomp and circumstance and asked each other curiously, and they did not get an answer until they saw the many lines of the royal family and the cars of civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty is going on patrol?"

"Looks like it should be."

"Where are you going to patrol this place?"

"How could I possibly know."

To be honest, it's really not surprising that people in these days have gone on patrol with rulers. In the past, there were the emperors of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and the first emperor went on patrol almost once a year, and it has become a common phenomenon for rulers to not stay well in the palace and run around.

It was precisely because the phenomenon of rulers going out on patrol was so common that the civil and military officials did not say anything like "the body of the Son of Heaven is ten thousand gold, and he must not be moved lightly" to stop it. In some respects, officials even encouraged the Son of Heaven to go on patrols, believing that only by allowing rulers to see their own countries with their own eyes could they better understand the national situation and facilitate the implementation of some administrative strategies.

When did officials start to be unhappy with rulers coming out of the deep palace? I can't be elegant. But looking at some historical books, one can conclude that the emperors who often come out of the deep palace are either the founding kings or the direct blood of non-rulers...... For example, the emperor had no heirs, and an heir from the clan was inherited by a man. In addition to these two kinds of emperors, more than ninety percent of the rulers have stayed in the secluded place of the palace almost all their lives, for them, they are the rulers of the country, but they are not as good as a flat-headed common man.

What is the experience of the people's suffering, but also to see the governance of the country with their own eyes, the ruler has not really been to too many places. But it's a nuisance for local officials.

What's the trouble? For example, when the ruler says he wants to come, is he going to build a palace, is he going to decorate some facades? In addition, such as the amount of money used by the first emperor during his patrol, the grain and grass were replenished every time he went to a place, and it was not that he was scolded for working hard and hurting money.

Then again, is it really not that the ruler is unhappy to go on patrol because he doesn't want to waste money and money? Not really. It was the magistrates who were afraid that some of their deeds would be discovered, and of course they would be afraid that the emperor would inspect their land.

A small number of the 50,000 forbidden troops had already opened the way as the front army, and most of them were waiting in line outside the city, and there were not many armor soldiers who followed the departure from Miyagi.

The forbidden army of freshly dressed and angry horses rode or walked. There were also city guards on both sides of the road to maintain order, and Lu Zhe looked out through the car window and saw a dense crowd of people.

If it was in the Ming or Qing Dynasty, the emperor's car should have been a large number of people who knelt on the ground, and anyone who dared to look up at the car of the Son of Heaven was a disrespectful crime, but it was not the case now, or it should be said that it was not the case until the Ming generation.

Zhu Yuanzhang rose to prominence at the end of the Wei Dynasty, when Chinese culture was trampled to pieces by the horse's hooves of the grassland, and some customs and etiquette disappeared with the massacre. Many of the systems formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang rely on their own understanding to define.

"I am the emperor, I must eat the steamed buns made of gold!" - There are many things that can be seen from this sentence, and everyone has an understanding of imperial power. Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of imperial power is not to be offended, and he really did that.

What's really going on? Until the Song and Song dynasties, people's knees have always been very expensive, and there is a saying called "kneeling to the sky and kneeling to parents". Kneeling on the kneecap only appears on some necessary occasions, such as sacrifices, and does not mean that it is necessary to bow down when meeting officials.

None of the citizens of Nanling were kneeling on the ground. They are also making a gesture of saluting to the emperor's car, their eyes should be staring or staring, no one will go because whoever looks at the emperor's car thinks it is disrespectful and should be killed.

Because it was out of the city from the north gate, the citizens of Nanling basically couldn't guess where the patrol team was going, and some rich children even discussed it, and then decided to follow the patrol team from a distance.

Is it a big deal to follow the emperor out on patrol without permission? It depends on the mentality of the ruling class, and there will be special ways to deal with it in special periods, now......

"A lot?"

"At the beginning, it was just a few people, we didn't stop it, and more and more people followed suit. The number at the back of the line now exceeds two thousand. ”

The patrol team is a national highway, and the official road has not been closed in advance, and there are pedestrians on the left and right roads on the road.

Since it is a national highway, of course, not a private road, and the patrol team takes the "Son of Heaven Road" in the middle, as long as no one runs to the middle road, without prior notice or prohibition, unless it is a crime of trying to misbehave, there is no reason to stop anyone from going.

"Mei Zhonglang (general) has already set up a cordon, and those who follow are also very knowledgeable about the rules. Your Majesty, you see? ”

"Young man, as long as you don't behave out of line, let them go."

"No!"

After leaving the north gate and turning a corner, the team stepped on the road to Yiling. This highway connects Yiling and Wudong, and continues to the territory of Ba County until it is blocked by the mountains. It also has the same road as several places, with a direct access to Namyang County to the north and Cangwu County to the south.

The continuous planning and construction of imperial transportation, the closer to the imperial capital Nanling, the more developed the traffic, and the greater the width of the road surface.

The team walking on the road of the Son of Heaven will not lack pedestrians on their left and right, and the pedestrians will temporarily stop in place to salute when they see the Phoenix King Flag played by the team, and wait for the King Flag to pass before moving again.

The children were chattering and noisy in the car, and Lu Zhe occasionally frolicked with them, more often watching the scenery outside the car window.

According to the current custom, October is the beginning of the new year, and the national highway is still prosperous in winter, indicating that the year should be good.

In the early two years, Lu Zhe had re-planned the festival according to his own habits, and according to the customs of later generations, the first month of the first month must be New Year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and now people are still gradually getting used to the new "New Year", but there is no very lively New Year like in later generations.

Looking at the flow of people on the left and right, Lu Zhe saw that there were more people going to Nanling than coming out of Nanling, and there were more vehicles loaded with goods in the flow of people leaving Nanling, that was because the workshops and factories around Nanling were dense, and the goods made were naturally to be sold in various places.

"If you want to see the lively scene of Chinese New Year's Eve, you should still have to wait for people to adapt, and you want people's days to get better and better." Lu Zhe knocked on the wall of the car, and Mei Kai, who was accompanying him on horseback, soon appeared outside the window.

Mei Kai held the reins in his hand and saluted with a fist, and asked, "Your Majesty?" ”

Lu Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "Let the team stop for a moment." ”

Mei Kai just responded with "No! Then go and carry out the order, as to why it stops, it will not be asked.

In fact, Lu Zhe was a little noisy by the children, and he told the children's mothers to quickly let someone come and bring the children back, and only then did he add a sentence at the end: "Let Qihe come over." ”

Lu Qi and Lu Yi came over quickly, and when the two got into the carriage where Lu Zhe was, the whole team continued to move forward.

After this year, Lu Qi and Lu Yi are already nine years old, and they have now reached the age when they should go to school, and this time the children who should study in Lu Zhe's plan to go on patrol will not be brought, so the children including Lu Qi, Lu Yi, Lu Ying, etc. will be left in Nanling, and only some children who don't need to go to school will be brought together.

The two of them saluted and greeted each other as soon as they got into the car, but Lu Qi didn't sit down immediately, but after Lu Yi saluted, he leaned on a futon on the wall of the car.

Lu Zhe took a look at his two sons, found that Lu Yi's clothes were a little untidy, and asked, "What did you do just now?" ”

Lu Yi sneered and said: "It's boring to ride in a carriage, so I've changed to riding a horse." ”

Lu Zhe asked Lu Qi to sit down, did not correct the appearance of the other one who was sitting or not sitting, and was silent for a while before speaking: "My trip this time will take about four months, and the soldiers who died in Yiling will be transferred to Nanyang County to Qindi first, and then they will go to the Great Wall in the north to see." ”

Lu Yi asked, "Is my father worried about the war on the grassland?" ”

The old section of the Great Wall is about 300 miles away from Xianyang, and the new section of the Great Wall is thousands of miles away from Xianyang.

Lu Yi asked if he was worried about the grassland war, obviously guessing that Lu Zhe was going to the new Great Wall section, not the old Great Wall section. (To be continued.) )
