The distance between Yingtian Prefecture and Qingzhou was more than 700 kilometers. The Seventh Prince was chased out by Zhu Yuanzhang and did not dare to delay on his way to his fief. Even so, it took him nearly three days to reach Qingzhou.
His mother, Noble Consort Da, hurriedly packed up a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and various supplies and sent them out from the palace. She had all the servants of the Seventh Prince chase after them.
More than a dozen servants and followers rode their horses at full speed. On the second day, they finally caught up to the Seventh Prince.
The rest of the people drove the carriages, and some of them had to follow on foot, so their speed was naturally much slower.
When the Seventh Prince was banished to Qi, the Imperial Court also sent the news to the governor.
As early as the ninth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Ministry of Books and set up a Chief Secretary. The left and right governors jointly handled the affairs of the province.
Zhu Yuanzhang regarded the governor as the rock of the country and entrusted him with important local tasks. To put it bluntly, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's agent in the local area and had a lot of power.
The governor was considered a new role in this season. It had just been established not long ago, and the status of the administrative commissioner had undergone obvious changes as time passed. To put it simply, from the beginning of its establishment, it had been going downhill. When it debuted, it was the peak, and it was directly a second-grade official.
Zhu Xiong knew very well that in his territory, the only one who could restrict him was the governor.
The administrative commissioner was an organization directly under the imperial court. It was not under the command of the vassal king, let alone an advisor. Their role was not only to complete the construction control of the local area, but also to monitor the vassal king for any abnormal movements. Their main responsibility was to worry that the vassal king would raise an army to rebel.
This period of time was the time when the power in the hands of the Fan Wang was the greatest, and it was also the time when the power of the administrative commissioner was the greatest.
In Qi, Zhu Wei was in charge of Qingzhou, and the governor was in charge of Jinan. Although the two sides were not in the same place, they were not far away.
The first governor of Jinan Prefecture was Tie Xuan. He was later promoted to Minister of War. During the Jingnan Rebellion, he refused to surrender to the King of Yan, Zhu Di, who had rebelled and seized the throne. He gathered the defeated soldiers to defend Jinan Prefecture and defeat the King of Yan, Zhu Di.
After Zhu Di seized the throne, he was tortured to death.
To the old Zhu family, he was a great loyal official. However, Zhu Rong was somewhat worried. This guy was a little foolishly loyal. He was naturally extremely loyal to the Great Ming, but he might not be loyal to a prince who was not valued.
To put it simply, Tie Xuan was loyal to the Emperor and the Crown Prince. As for the other princes, he was just showing respect. If the princes made any strange moves, he might really dare to attack them!
This guy couldn't even take down Zhu Di, so he could be considered a ruthless character. He hadn't established a foothold in Qi yet, so he really shouldn't provoke him.
He wasn't sure if what he would do in the future would clash with this governor. But there was one thing he was sure of. Once he started to use the system to crazily kill soldiers, this administrative commissioner would definitely not sit idly by!
To be safe, he did not go straight to Qingzhou City. Instead, he went to the military camp first!
The current vassal kings had a lot of power. In terms of specifications, they had their own palaces and armies.
Each vassal king had three guards.
The number of guards ranged from 3000 to 19,000.
In other words, Zhu Xiong could control a force of nearly 60,000 soldiers at most!
Among the vassal kings, the King of Yan and the King of Jin were the most powerful. They each had more than 100,000 troops.
However, the current Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was still competing with the Crown Prince, Zhu Biao. He would only be banished to Beiping by Zhu Yuanzhang next year.
As for the King of Jin, he had already become a vassal of Taiyuan last year.
The first thing Zhu He did when he became a vassal king was to take over military power. He wanted to let all the soldiers in the army know that he had already come to Qi and become a vassal. In the future, they would be under his control.
After he was done with all this, he arrived at Qingzhou.
The original plan for Zhu He's palace was to start construction at the end of the year. As the Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang was Zhu He's father-in-law, he would be in charge of supervising the construction of the palace.
According to the original plan, Zhu Rong was going to marry Wu Yan, the daughter of the Marquis of Jiangyin, in the capital this year. However, no one expected Zhu Rong to suddenly make such a statement in the Imperial Court, which angered Zhu Yuanzhang. He beat Zhu Rong up in front of the officials and even chased him to Qi to become a vassal.
Now that they could no longer get married in the capital, and the construction of the mansion in Qingzhou had yet to begin, the wedding date naturally had to be delayed.
This marriage was something that Zhu Rong could not refuse.
Marquis Jiang Yin was a hero of the Ming Dynasty.
The engagement between the royal family and the meritorious officials was no joke.
A marriage agreement that had already been set could not be changed unless there were special circumstances.
However, Zhu Rong didn't care. He took the opportunity to observe Wu Yan while he was at the residence of Marquis Jiangyin.
He didn't know what her character was like, whether she was virtuous or not, but at least she was beautiful and delicious. Unfortunately, she was a little young and hadn't matured yet, but he could tell that she was a beauty.
This matter happened so suddenly that the wedding date had to be postponed. It was just nice to give Wu Yan some time to prolong it.
It didn't matter even if it wasn't what he wanted. Because Zhu Rong still had to marry two more concubines, he could slowly choose one later.
Although the mansion in Qingzhou hadn't been built yet, it had been Zhu He's fief for a long time. There was a large manor outside Qingzhou, which had become Zhu He's temporary residence. Zhu He was very satisfied with this manor.
As soon as he settled down, the system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the system mission and obtaining the reward…"
With a series of tinkling reminders, rewards were obtained one by one!
Zhu Rong was overjoyed. He did not care about his fatigue and immediately opened the virtual interface of the system to check.
The mall lit up as expected!
The experience points were 10000!
He rubbed his palms excitedly. What should he exchange for first?
