Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

In the 20th year of Kaiming, the New Year had passed, but the emperor and the empress's parade was not far from Yingtian Prefecture, so the New Year's greetings were delayed due to the careful calculations of the Imperial Observatory.

Has anything changed in Yingtian Prefecture? It has only been a year, so it is definitely not much different from before.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had completely different thoughts about this city.

Besides, to say that the difference is not big means that there are still some changes.

There was a new prince's son at the city gate, who had a noble status but mingled well with the common people.

The outer city, the former Ministry of Works camp, has been completely transformed from a dilapidated building waiting to be demolished to an academy.

On the avenue extending from the city gate, there was dense and larger traffic, and many of them were facing Yingtian City with excitement and yearning on their faces.

In the past, people coming and going were more or less reserved, in a hurry to make a living, and even afraid of the mighty soldiers at the city gates. But this is no longer the case now.

Old Zhu naturally would not miss this opportunity to understand his eldest son from another perspective and investigate the changes in the Zhao Mansion.

In addition, Empress Ma was so obedient that he felt extremely satisfied.

The girl has never been like this before. She just left Yingtian for a while and when she came back she felt a little homesick.

So Wang Ban led the ceremonial guard and entered the capital from another direction. He escorted Mo Xuyou back to the imperial city on the pretext that the emperor and empress had been exhausted from the long journey and did not need to be greeted.

However, this old couple disguised themselves as an ordinary caravan and traveled a long way on the official road.

Since the Ministry of Works moved its camp outside the city, in order to facilitate communication and demonstrate the expertise of the Ministry of Works, this long straight road in the capital's physiognomy has been completely smoothed out.

Just this one change made Lao Zhu feel a lot more relieved. At least the girl wouldn't be shaken anymore.

"Big Brother, what are you so happy about? Why did you bring your whole family to the capital?"

Halfway on the official road, Lao Zhu caught a donkey cart pulling two couples.

He simply opened the curtain and greeted the other party casually.

Are the business owners in Beijing so kind?

The two couples on the donkey cart didn't think much about it and gave it a positive answer in their hearts.

After all, this is the capital city, the city that gave them a new life and new hope.

"I can't be unhappy, the ancestors' graves are smoking!"

"Thanks to the Queen's grace, we, the peasants who make a living with our hands, can also go to the academy to study! And I heard that the Queen will personally come out and serve as the chief wine for us!"

"It is an honor for the Emperor to come down to see us!"

The two couples, talking to each other, used simple words to outline a picture of prosperity.

Old Zhu subconsciously looked back at his sister, and Empress Ma gave him a smug look in return, and the two seemed to be back to the beginning.

He laughed too.

"It turns out that some of our fellow villagers actually have such abilities. We are really envious!"

"I heard that the head of the Shengfu family and the Minister of Industry will also serve in the Human Science Academy. I really want to give up this foundation and pursue this honor."

The smile didn't last long, as Lao Zhu still didn't understand.

He felt the atmosphere behind him turn cold and his expression froze, but he still gritted his teeth and continued speaking at his own pace.

As for the change in his expression, the two couples on the donkey cart thought it was normal. After all, they were in person at the Holy Palace, and it would be abnormal to have a normal or resentful expression when talking.

"Hahaha, to have such a large family business is also a great ability, sir, we envy you too!"

"Master is well-informed. It would be even better if we could meet the head of the Holy Palace."

Old Zhu noticed something strange in the words of the people in front of him, and quickly asked, "Why do the villagers seem to be not very excited about the head of the Shengfu family?"

Could it be!

"Excited, why not excited, that's the head of the Holy Palace in person!"

"only......"

"The Holy Palace seems to be right in front of us, but it is also very far away..."

The two couples on the donkey cart were obviously relatives, or at least neighbors, so they were in sync on this issue.

In contrast to the slight sadness on their faces, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.

Once again confirmed!

"Cough cough~"

Just at this moment, Empress Ma coughed behind her. Zhu Yuanzhang quickly apologized and closed the curtain, and the donkey cart slowly moved forward to avoid them.

inside the carriage.

"Girl, are you okay? Drink some water!"

The previous joy could not offset the current worry. Old Zhu took the kettle from Yu'er's hand and quickly brought it to Queen Ma's mouth.

"It's okay, my throat is just a little dry."

"You've been talking for so long with your head tilted. Don't you feel dry in your mouth? And don't you see how nervous Erhu and the others are?"

Queen Ma took the kettle and moistened her lips, but did not swallow.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I happened to be a little thirsty."

Old Zhu quickly took advantage of the situation, took back the water bag and put it into his own mouth. He felt relieved and at the same time, he became lively again.

The answer from the donkey cart just now was not the first time, which is why Lao Zhu was so happy.

All the people being questioned gave consistent answers. What does this indicate?

Over the years, people have become accustomed to the existence of the Zhao Mansion, and even exalted it to the sky, plus the current head of the family doesn't like to make noise.

This trip is also an experiment for his future.

As long as this balance can be maintained!

As Lao Zhu drank the water, a new idea came to him and his eyes became vague.

A tutor for the crown prince has already been released in the capital, and the four who are lying down will be sent to the fourth brother when the time comes, so we can rest assured.

But the other four lively Zhao Mansion inspectors have to be handled with caution.

It's not necessary to be careful, because Old Zhu immediately thought of the style of the people in the Zhao family, so he kept drinking water and even made himself laugh.

Queen Ma naturally would not indulge him.

"Is the water supplied by Zhongdu really that delicious?"

When passing by Zhongdu, Empress Ma thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would have to stay there for a while.

Unexpectedly, Old Zhu stayed for half a day and then continued his journey back to Beijing because he was worried about the health of the four inspectors lying in the Zhao Mansion.

Others dare not think deeply, but Empress Ma does not need to think deeply.

If Zhao Zheng had not warned her in advance not to pay attention and that the Zhao family would not take the initiative to cause any possible trouble, she would have advised him against it long ago.

What does it mean to no longer take the initiative?

Then he thought about Liu Ji, whom he had persuaded to come out in the first place, but now he didn't return to Qingtian, and even refused to leave the mansion. He just stayed silent in the capital, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay any attention to him at all.

At this moment, as they approached the capital, she finally couldn't bear it any longer.

“It tastes good, of course it tastes good!”

Old Zhu didn't know the situation yet, so he turned around and started to answer perfunctorily with a smile.

What do you think? Of course, you don’t think anything. Even if you think something, you can’t say it. If you say it, it will be a lie!

But when he saw his sister's face, he knew something was wrong.

At the right time, the carriage finally arrived at the city gate and began to line up for inspection. Erhu quietly asked with his eyes whether he wanted to go in directly, and a familiar conversation sounded.
