Chapter 195: From the Heart

Leaking the ban on Chinese is a big crime, and in one day, all four bachelors were imprisoned.

When Gao Chi heard the news, he sighed and said: "Father must investigate a mastermind, who can instruct the cabinet to move, it will be me." ”

The East Palace is like a tree that grows in the bitter cold, constantly being bullied by the wind, frost, and sword. It grows in such a harsh environment that it is always in danger. Counting the first two years of the East Palace, the days were much better, but those good days were like concocted shadows, but it was precisely because of this that Gao Chi and Zhang Zhaohua were numb.

Since the emperor thought that it was instigated by the crown prince, the prince could only "turn himself in" and confess his guilt. These scholars were his teachers, and they all protected him in the matter of abolishing the establishment in these things—he was reasonable, and he had to stand up, even with the people in the matter.

When he faced the emperor, the emperor first threw him a notebook: "This is a note to Xiao Yi in the matter, he said that I moved away from the ancestral system and abandoned the imperial lineage and filial piety, what do you think?"

Gao Chi's heart tightened. He knew that if this group of people only talked about the matter of revitalizing the teachers and moving the people to work hard and hurt the money, the emperor might be able to bear it, but if it was about moving the capital, the emperor would definitely not tolerate it, because this was the thing that the emperor valued the most, and to a certain extent, it was more serious than the national capital problem of he, the crown prince.

"Erchen thought," Gao Chi did not hesitate this time, and said: "Moving the capital to Beijing is a 10,000-year-old foundation that cannot be changed." ”

This time the emperor was really surprised, he stared at Gao Chi's face: "Are you telling the truth?"

Gao Chi's preference for Nanjing seems to be a sign for a long time. But Zhang Zhaohua knew that the matter of moving the capital was a major event that the emperor would spend his whole life to complete, and he would never allow anyone to oppose it. She whispered in Gao Chi's ear early on, although Nanjing is the best city in China's history of feng shui, the tiger is on the dragon plate, the momentum of the four elephants, and the residence of the real emperor, but Nanjing is by no means a capital city that is easy to defend, and Nanjing is a Jedi in the art of war. As soon as Anqing missed, Nanjing was defeated with his eyes closed, and the Battle of Jingjing has long shown this point, and only by stabilizing the northern border can we maintain the development of the land of fish and rice in the south. She often said this, and finally saw the effect, and Gao Chi finally listened to it.

"Truth or words. Gao Chi said: "The construction of Beijing is of great significance to the defense of the north and the dispatch of troops to the north, and the father wants to leave a Qingjing Haiyu to his descendants." But what Erchen doesn't understand is, why do you want to tear down the three major halls and rebuild them?"

"What did you say?" the emperor didn't seem to hear.

"The three major halls of Beijing Palace," Gao Chi said, "It has been repaired, but after you saw it, it was not magnificent, and you ordered it to be demolished and rebuilt." Every piece of wood in the three major halls, from felling to transportation to construction, was soaked with the blood and tears of the people, just because it was not grand enough, it could only be demolished. How much did it cost to repair that palace, Xia Yuanji was worried and vomited blood, how much people's power was spent to build that capital, and the people knocked on the bones and sucked the marrow! After years of exhaustion, the Ming Dynasty has reached the verge of collapse, can you still afford to toss?"

Gao Chi remembered that on the way from Beijing to Nanjing, all he saw were hungry people and corpses, which was the shocking nature of Yongle under the surface.

"Shut up!" The emperor's angry roar filled the entire hall: "I eliminated criticism and built Beijing, not to leave you a 10,000-year foundation, you, the son of man, can't understand my painstaking efforts, and are still here on the day of the rabid dog barking, do you want to kill me alive!"

Zhu Zhanji's face was pale, and he wanted to dissuade him, but his feet were like roots, and he couldn't move.

"If you build Beijing, you will build Beijing, and if you set the capital of Beijing, you will set the capital of Beijing," I didn't expect Zhu Gaochi to not flinch in the slightest, but instead said something shocking with an unchanging face: "My father was afraid of opposition, so he used Beijing as a base to take large-scale military operations, intending to increase the weight of Beijing and prepare for the relocation of the capital." In this way, the great fanfare was built again and again, but the 500,000 army also dragged down the Ming Dynasty. Since it is only to achieve the purpose of moving the capital to Beijing, is it really necessary for my father to go out of Mobei and plough the court?"

"Rebel-" The emperor's eyes were red with anger: "I am old, and I have to fight against the Mongols on the battlefield, you brute, you don't understand my painstaking efforts, deny everything about me, do you think that if you kill me, you can ascend the throne?

The emperor has never been said like this, and the person who said that he is still his own son, which makes the emperor who is the only one unable to accept it, and his eyes are black with a breath, "Bring me the sword of the Son of Heaven, I don't have such a rebellious son!"

The eunuchs and palace people in the main hall were already frightened, who dared to take off the sword of the Son of Heaven and hand it to the emperor, several big eunuchs immediately hugged the emperor: "The emperor is angry, the prince said nonsense!"

Zhu Zhanji knelt down in front of the prince and cried: "Father, admit your mistake quickly! This is not your intention, it is all provoked by the group of people outside who don't know the height of the sky!"

Gao Chi originally saw the emperor's appearance, and he wouldn't say any more exciting words, but when he heard Zhu Zhanji's words, he knew that if he acquiesced like this, he would put all the blame on the person, and those people would really have no way to live. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not wrong!"

The emperor gasped, only to feel that his heart was beating more and more violently, his eyes were black, and he said, "I am going to abolish ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell from the dragon chair and fainted in the screams of everyone!

"Emperor-" Haitong hugged the emperor and shouted, "Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!

The people in the hall turned on their backs, and the imperial doctor hurried to treat the emperor. And Gao Chi was already kneeling outside the main hall, and his eyes were actually dark, but he only felt that his five senses had left him.

Zhu Zhanji waited for the imperial doctor to confirm that the emperor was fine, then he left the hall and knelt beside Gao Chi, he couldn't hold back his complaint: "Father, is it really so difficult to say a good word about moving the capital? The emperor's grandfather has been annoyed by that group of people in the past few days, and he already has a headache and brain fever, and now you have to oppose him, and you are so angry that he almost had a stroke......

Gao Chi took a breath: "I also want to say things that go against my will, but does Jiangshan Sheji allow me to say this? On the road from Nanjing to Beijing, I don't walk as much as you, you have repeatedly traveled back and forth, but you have asked your heart to tell me, what you have seen along the way, those ordinary people who are displaced and can't keep warm, haven't they touched your heart in the slightest?"

Zhu Zhanji was silent for a while, but said: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and this generation will suffer, but the next generation, and even all the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, will be blessed by this, what's wrong with this?"

"Your imperial grandfather wants to make horses and cattle for his descendants," Gao Chi said: "But he is letting tens of millions of people make horses and cattle for his deeds, let me ask you, the imperial palace in Beijing, mobilizes 300,000 craftsmen, and thousands of people die of exhaustion every year because of heavy projects, who is the palace built for? Is it for the people to live? The glazed pagoda of Dabao'en Temple, every piece of glazed bricks and tiles, is soaked in the blood of the people, what can the tower be done, is it able to resist the Mongols, or to fight against the Japanese invaders? I am afraid that the tower is completed, the first thing is to pay tribute to the ghosts buried under the tower! Is this a great legacy for future generations?"
