Under the leadership of Shen Xi, the construction of the new city was carried out in an orderly manner, presenting a vibrant scene. Many people want to use the power of Chen Xi to gain power and status, especially those businessmen with strong speculative ideas, who want to use the power of Chen Xi to win greater benefits.

However, it is obvious that Chen Xi does not need these businessmen to rely on, because he has a strong business team behind him. As for other people to help him do business, it is more like trying to get a tiger, but he has become the tiger. It is not so easy for others to make profits from him.

After being entrusted by her sister-in-law, Ma Lian couldn't sleep or eat. After thinking about it, she decided to fulfill her promise to her sister-in-law, but she didn't know when she would see Chen Xi.

It was also August 16th, and this day was the day when Zhu Houzhao set out to set out south. The palace was arranged in and out in the morning, but Zhu Houzhao did not get up, so Zhang Yuan and others could only wait patiently.

"What's going on? Your Majesty hasn't gotten up yet? Are you leaving or not?" Zhang Yuan waited outside the Ganqing Palace for more than half an hour, and finally saw Xiao Tiaozi coming out of it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Xiao Tiaozi was at the palace last night, and Zhang Yuan thought Xiao Tiaozi would know.

Xiao Zhuozi replied: "How can we know about our family? Your Majesty hasn't come out yet, so we can't go in and disturb His Majesty's rest, right?"

Zhang Yuan asked again: "Does Your Majesty now live in the Ganqing Palace or Jiaotai Palace?"

"have no idea."

Xiao Guozi said impatiently, and he was completely ignorant of Zhang Yuan, which made Zhang Yuan very annoyed.

During Zhu Houzhao's trip south, Zhang Yuan and Xiao Guozi had to accompany him. In addition, the eunuch Li Xing, Bingbi, also wanted to go south together. In this way, only the eunuch Bingbi, left by Silijian was the eunuch Gao Feng.

In the court, there were basically no ministers accompanying Zhu Houzhao to the south. The inner government arranged some middle and low-level officials, and the Ministry of Revenue sent a doctor to supervise the special amount.

The prince-in-law Cui Yuan would follow the lord south, and Cui Yuan was responsible for the security of the journey. Originally, Zhu Houzhao intended to let Cui Yuan stay in the capital, but British Duke Zhang Mao submitted a request to guard the capital with him. After Zhang Yuan informed the matter, Zhu Houzhao thought for a little and agreed.

Seeing that Xiao Tuozi had a bad attitude, Zhang Yuan could only wait. After another half an hour, there was still no news. At this moment, Li Xing hurried over, and Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tuozi both looked at him.

"Two father-in-laws, why are you still waiting here? Your Majesty is not... not getting up yet, are you?"

Li Xing was very confused about the situation in front of him, but now everyone understands one truth. Nowadays, when the emperor is basically not doing things on time, it would be good if Zhu Houzhao could set off before noon that day. It is almost impossible to expect the lazy emperor to get up early in the morning to travel.

Zhang Yuan scolded with a stern face: "Didn't this ask me knowingly? If Your Majesty gets up, we still have to wait here?"

Li Xing looked at Xiao Tiaozi and said, "Why... Tiao Daddy, go in and urge me?"

Xiao Guozi was also yelling: "Our family is not tired of living yet. Go in and urge Your Majesty. Wouldn't that cause trouble for yourself? If you want to urge Eunuch Li to go by yourself, our family can guide you."

Li Xing looked evasive on his face: "The two father-in-laws are so good at laughing. Where is our family qualified to disturb His Majesty's dream? It's better to stay here and wait for His Majesty to come out."

The three of them looked at each other and found that there was a cunning look in each other's eyes. In the end, the three of them seemed to be angry and waited outside the Ganqing Palace gate, and no one went in to urge him.

...

...

Not only was the palace preparing to travel on this day, but the Shen family was also actively preparing, but it was not the mansion of Duke Chen in Chenxi, but the mansion of Shen Mingjun and his wife.

Someone came to give gifts early in the morning.

Zhu Houzhao sent the eunuch Li Rong, the imperial prison, to come and give more than a dozen boxes of gifts, almost filling the yard. Zhou was overjoyed and his mouth never closed.

"Your Majesty is just polite. Look at the gifts given by this, there are more than the boss gave them. I said, "Juro, you have to work hard too... Let's see what life is our family living now?"

Zhou said to Chen Yun standing aside with a smile.

Chen Yun curled his lips: "All these are given by his brother-in-law? Could it be that he wants to bribe us?"

"Who is your brother-in-law?"

Zhou hadn't understood who the son said "brother-in-law" was. After careful consideration, he realized that he was talking about Zhu Houzhao and immediately started scolding, "Oh, you guys, you dare to talk nonsense... You dare to call your brother-in-law directly by calling him the emperor? Are you tired of living?"

Chen Yun said: "Mom, I don't want to hear what you said. Yesterday my brother-in-law sent someone to the Imperial College to tell me that I would come back and prepare to accompany him to go south... This time I will accompany my sister and brother-in-law to Jiangnan. Then I will see my elder brother. If you have anything you want me to bring to my elder brother, just say it quickly. Maybe I will leave in a while."

Zhou scolded: "You little bastard, now you have the ability. What does it mean to say something? What are you capable of telling your brother? Even if you have something to tell your elder brother, it's just that my mother is asking someone to write a letter..."

"Didn't I have time to write a letter?"

Chen Yun was a little resistant to this mother. After all, he is old now and has become the uncle at a young age. Not only does no one dare to bully him in the Imperial College, but others also curry favor with him everywhere. He enjoys super-quality treatment in the Imperial College, and even the gentlemen in the Imperial College dare not offend him.

Everyone knows Chen Yun's identity and origin. This kid is now the uncle and his brother is the hot Duke of Shen in the court. The future award of title is likely to start with the marquis.

After gaining knowledge, Chen Yun lost such good patience towards this feudal autocratic family.

Zhou said: "You kid has been learning books for a few days and you will dare to challenge your mother if you know some words, right? Your mother is illiterate and cannot write letters. Just think that you are incompetent. Wei Mother has cultivated a top scholar and a queen, and you are the most unreliable in the whole family."

Chen Yun curled his lips: "A national uncle has also been cultivated... If you give birth to another one, it will be the same as a national uncle."

"You bastard!"

Zhou immediately wanted to pick up a broom to beat him. If Chen Yun was beaten in the past, he would have been smart now. Seeing that my mother was so sturdy, she ran away.

As a result, the mother and son chased each other in the yard for a while, but Zhou could not catch up, so he could only stand there and pant.

Just at this moment, Zhu Qi hurried in from outside, and was stunned when he saw this attitude, thinking that he was not the time to come, and the emperor's mother-in-law was teaching the little uncle a lesson.

"Old lady, the car outside is ready, let the second master go to the front of the palace to wait for his companion." Zhu Qi said.

Chen Yun nodded: "I understand, I understand... Dad Zhu, let's get in the car quickly. My mother wants to hit someone, so it's so unreasonable."

Zhou was panting there and cursed from afar: "You little brat walk slowly and take the bag with you. You are such a conscience-free bastard. Why did you give birth to such a villain!"

...

...

Chen Yun took the carriage to the gate of the palace. This was not the first time he had arrived in front of the Ming Gate. When he saw the tall and majestic city tower, his face was filled with a joyful smile.

Just like a serf turned over as his master, becoming the uncle of the country means that he can often go to and from the palace in the future. This palace gate is not much different from his own house gate.

Chen Yun got off the carriage. At this time, there were many cars around him, but they were arranged neatly. The Jinyiwei and the guards lined up in a row, majestic. Chen Yun could walk swagger in it, and no one dared to come and question it. Although the people around him might not know who he was, because Chen Yun also followed the palace guards, it was enough to show his extraordinary identity.

Just at this moment, several officials in red robes came over Dongjiang Mi Lane. Chen Yun looked at them and didn't recognize any of them.

"When a serious official in the court comes, I'll hide first." Although Chen Yun had his own opinions and his personality gradually changed from cowardly to confident, he still lived in the shadow of his brother, sister and mother, and was a little afraid of life.

Back at the carriage, one of the several ministers came out to walk here. Chen Yun took a look and saw that it was a kind-hearted old man. He walked to him and stopped, and looked up and down.

"I don't know if this old man is..."

Chen Yun took the lead in saying hello. After all, he was a junior. No matter who the other party was, he had to politely ceremonies first. This was also the etiquette he learned in the Imperial College.

The old man smiled: "Are you Shen Yun? Shen Jiajuro? Haha, have you grown so big?"

Chen Yun looked a little embarrassed and said with a bitter face: "Have you seen the younger generation?"

An eunuch came next to him and smiled and introduced: "Uncle Guo, this is Master Xie, but he is the master of the dynasty."

Only then did Chen Yun realize that this was his sister-in-law's grandfather. He had heard a lot about Xie Qian before, but he had never seen him. Occasionally, Xie Qian would go to Chen Mansion, and he was an ignorant naughty boy and he had no chance to meet him.

Chen Yun quickly saluted: "I have seen Mr. Xie."

Xie Qian smiled and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with the young man in front of him. Zhan Mei asked, "You want to go south with Your Majesty, right?"

“That’s right.”

Chen Yun didn't know that Xie Qian was messing with him and said whatever he said. "I heard that the queen would go with her younger generation. I'd better have a look after her on the road."

When he said these words, Chen Yun was like a swaying young man. He was very polite and had a gentle voice. Xie Qian looked at Chen Yun with a familiar feeling, just like Chen Xi, who had just passed the top scholar and entered the court as an official, suddenly felt like he was a different life.

Originally, Xie Qian wanted to find out more about this young man who was ignorant of the world, but suddenly he gave up on this plan.

Xie Qian sighed and said, "Study more on the way south, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. After returning, he strives to make progress in his studies and serve the court as soon as possible."

"I will follow the teachings of Xie Lao."

Chen Yun had somehow wanted to say this, so he quickly bowed.

Xie Qian nodded at Chen Yun, turned around and left, and returned to the pile of court officials in the distance. Yang Tinghe came over and asked, "Why did Mr. Xie go to see the Shen family?"

Xie Qian sighed and said, "He is also the uncle of the country. I hope he can go on the right path. I will give it a note in the question."

...

...

At midnight, Zhu Houzhao finally got up and took Chen Yi'er, the two of them came out of the palace courtyard in the imperial carriage and the phoenix carriage respectively.

Xie Qian, Yang Tinghe and others wanted to go up and talk to Zhu Houzhao and send the sage to the south, but Zhu Houzhao's imperial carriage stopped when he passed by these ministers, which made Xie Qian feel a little uneasy because Zhu Houzhao had not sent his imperial decree to take charge of the court at this time.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's imperial carriage was about to leave, Xie Qian couldn't help but want to chase him, but saw Zhang Yuan coming with the imperial order of Huang Feng in his hand, and smiled and said, "Gei Xie, congratulations."

Xie Qian and others couldn't help but look at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has an order. After Your Majesty goes on a patrol, all matters in the capital will be handed over to Mr. Xie, and the matters of the capital's defense will be handed over to the Duke of England... Here are the imperial orders for the two elders respectively. Mr. Xie, don't you need our family to read them for you?"

Xie Qian replied coldly: "No need."

Xie Qian immediately took over the imperial order.

This scene surprised several ministers next to him. The content of the secret talk between Xie Qian and Zhu Houzhao was not spread to the court, and even Yang Tinghe did not know about it.

The attitude Xie Qian showed was that he had known that the emperor would make such arrangements, which made the ministers present think more. Whether Xie Yuqiao had promised to allocate one million taels of silver so happily was related to this matter.

Zhang Yuan looked at the ministers next to him and said with a slight smile: "Our family wants to accompany His Majesty to the south. If something happens along the way, the court will rely on the help of Master Xie and all the masters. Our family will thank you here first."

While speaking, Zhang Yuan bowed his hands and looked very polite. Because of his special status, a group of ministers had to return the gifts. Only Xie Qian stood there like a wooden man and did not express his opinion.

Zhang Yuan looked at Xie Qian indifferently and handed over the two imperial edicts to Xie Qian. After he immediately stepped forward. There was a carriage prepared for him in front of the Ming Gate. He would take the carriage to follow the carriage and Feng Jia left the city together.

...

...

The ministers came to see the emperor off for a respectful journey, but were greeted by the emperor. No one knew why.
