In history, many emperors liked to go on tours, such as Emperor Yang of Sui. In order to facilitate travel, this guy even specially built the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. For example, Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, he also ran around everywhere if he had something to do. As a result, he accidentally fell into the water, got infected with wind and cold, and died.

Jiajing is more honest than his cousin Zhu Houzhao, but he has also left the palace a lot. In history, he mainly went to Chengtian Mansion to worship his parents, and he seems to have never been to other places.

However, it was different at this time, because there was a railway, and the speed of the Fire Dragon Car was faster than that of a thousand-mile horse. Even if you went to Jinling City, Nandu, it would only take a few days to do it, which was very convenient.

Originally, Jiajing had long wanted to go to Fengyang Prefecture, Nandu Yingtian Prefecture, but he had never been able to go there.

At this moment, the funeral of Prince Zhuang Jing Zhu Zai-ri was completed, and the court became increasingly stable. He finally put Jinling's ancestor worship on the agenda.

He went to Fengyang Prefecture, Zhongdu and Yingtian Prefecture, Nandu, not for the sake of traveling. He really wanted to worship his ancestors because his identity was quite special.

He was not the orthodox heir of the royal family. It was just because Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty had no descendants that he was selected from the royal family and inherited the throne. It can be said that he, as an emperor, was completely lucky, so he was quite sensitive to his identity.

The reason why he launched a great ritual dispute and insisted on competing for his father as an emperor was because of his identity.

If his father was just a prince, wouldn’t he behaved as an emperor?

Therefore, his father must be given the title of emperor, even if most civil and military officials in the court oppose it.

The reason why he wanted to go to Fengyang Prefecture, Zhongdu and Yingtian Prefecture, Nandu, to worship his ancestors was because of his identity. He wanted to tell the world that Zhu Houcan was also the orthodox royal bloodline, and there was no problem in inheriting the throne.

When the emperor goes on tour, he will usually be opposed by his ministers, because the emperor has too many things and many things, they must nod in person. If the emperor stays outside for too long, the whole country will stagnate.

Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty was an obvious example. In order to go out to play, this guy even left the imperial examination behind. As a result, the palace examination for the 16th year of Zhengde could not be held because he was not in the capital. Hundreds of tribute students waited for more than a year until Jiajing succeeded to the throne.

There are so many things like this. If the emperor always goes out to play, the whole court will be in chaos.

Therefore, many ministers will come out to dissuade the emperor when he proposes the idea of ​​going on a tour.

However, after Jiajing proposed the idea of ​​going on a tour this time, no one said anything. As for the reasons, there are many, and the ministers have their own plans, and they are all in one go.

For example, Yan Song's party is a typical flattery clan. As long as the emperor doesn't care about their corruption, it is wise and powerful. It's all their business. Jiajing's best place to live outside and not come back, so that they can be greedy and greedy without mercy.

For example, Yangming's lineage also did not say anything for Yang Cong's sake, because Yang Cong said that the emperor was taking a fire dragon car on the tour this time, and he would be able to come back in a few days, so he would not delay anything at all. Don't bother the emperor, so as not to make the emperor unhappy.

As for why Yang Cong said that, no one knew what he said, and no one went to the bottom of it. After all, as he said, the emperor only took a few days out, what could it take to delay?

Jiajing did not pay attention to this abnormal situation. After all, he was used to being willful. The officials in the court who dared to oppose him were almost dealt with by him using various means. No one opposed him on a tour, and he thought it was normal.

Although the patrol was not long, the show was not small at all. Jiajing was particularly proud of his face. The imperial guards would at least have tens of thousands, including the Jinyiwei, the eunuchs, and the palace maids. There were thousands, and the officials who accompanied him were also not missing.

Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, must have to accompany him. Not to mention anything else, just talking about this guy's ability to flatter, that's simply unmatched. Without this guy by his side, Jiajing really couldn't adapt much.

Yang Cong, the Minister of Rites, must have to accompany him, because Yang Cong understands these novel things, such as railways, fire dragon cars, etc., and Jiajing's desire for knowledge is also very strong. If Yang Cong is not around to solve the doubts, he will not be able to adapt.

In addition, like Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Gu Kexue, the Minister of Works, and Tao Zhongwen, who is also a three-opoly person, these confidants who are surrounded by him every day are naturally no one missing.

As for the others, follow the rules and click a small half of the important officials of the court to go with them.

He was so casual that there were nearly 20,000 people, and his pomp was simply outrageous.

These 20,000 people can't just go. The food, drink, defecation and urination along the way must be arranged. Although this trip only takes a few days, it must be arranged. There are so many people who can't stay in the Fire Dragon Car overnight, right?

Jiajing didn't know whether he didn't remember the lesson or liked to live in a tent, but this time he chose to live in a tent. Moreover, he also stipulated that all entourage personnel, including the imperial guards, the Jinyiwei, eunuchs, palace maids, officials, etc., must prepare to live in a tent.

As soon as this order was issued, Yang Cong was so excited that the tent was easy to catch fire. Last time, Xia Yan was burned by him and almost didn't treat him as the chief minister of the cabinet. This time, did he also get a fire and directly burn Jiajing to death in his sleep?

If you want to set a fire, you have to discuss it with Lu Bing first, because when Jiajing was on patrol, the guards and inspections of the camp were usually left to Lu Bing to take charge. It would be too simple to ask Lu Bing's people to set a fire.

However, Yang Cong thought about it for a long time and was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should consult Lu Bing.

Lu Bing and Jiajing are breasted brothers who grew up wearing open-crotch pants. They asked others to set fire to burn Jiajing's imperial tent. What would they do?

To be honest, Lu Bing is likely to be unable to do this, because Lu Bing's relationship with Jiajing is so good, and Lu Bing is also a very filial person. If he asks others to burn Jiajing's imperial tent, he will definitely discuss it with his mother Li.

It’s hard to say whether Li will stop this. Jiajing is equivalent to half of her son. Who, as a mother, wants her son to be burned to death by fire?

Yang Cong had to consider these issues, because burning Jiajing to death was a rebellion. Once discovered, it would be a punishment for the nine clans. He did not want to burn Jiajing to death because of leaking the news, but instead harmed his whole family.

In the end, he decided not to discuss with Lu Bing, and everything was left to fate.

Historical records clearly state that Jiajing was almost burned to death when he went on a tour. Lu Bing carried him out of the fire. Lu Bing was therefore promoted to commander of the Jinyiwei and became the most powerful minister since then.

At this moment, Lu Bing was still the commander of the Jinyiwei. In other words, the fire that almost killed Jiajing was not burned yet. Perhaps, without deliberately putting it on, Jiajing's imperial tent would catch fire. Or perhaps, there were other palace maids or eunuchs who wanted Jiajing's life and would secretly send them to order the imperial tent.
