Chapter 151: Intended to move the capital
()"Yes, for example, today seems to be peaceful, and people call it the prosperous era of Yongle, but the migration implicated in the Jing disaster has not yet returned to their hometowns, and the sores caused by the war have not yet recovered, and the people are still worried about food and clothing. His Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and dares to correct the mistakes of Emperor Chengzu, which is really rare, as a courtier, he should indeed support a lot! As soon as Yang Shiqi's voice fell, Yang Rong took over the conversation.
Huang Huai saw that the two of them clearly understood what they were referring to, but they gave themselves a sloppy look, and he was a little displeased, frowned and said: "Of course I know this, if I don't understand that these people were unjustly killed back then, today's emperor rehabilitated Fang Xiaoru and others in the early dynasty, how can I not speak, I am thinking, some of the emperor's recent actions are really strange, I want to ask the emperor who is so eager to do these actions, does he want to do anything big?" β
Yang Shiqi said: "Lord Huang is afraid that he is too careful, the emperor has always been generous and benevolent, but he just made some rehabilitation, what else can he do?" You, don't be cranky? β
Huang Huai snorted and said: "That's not necessarily, if the emperor really only wants to rehabilitate Fang Xiaoru and others, then withdraw troops from Annan, stop going to the West, cancel the tea and horse trade on the border, and stop sending the envoys to Yunnan and Jiaozhi (Annan) to purchase gold and pearls, I think the emperor is not just as simple as rehabilitation?" β
Jian Yi and Jin Youzi looked at each other, their hearts moved, the emperor's actions these days, they didn't notice it, but they didn't think about it, at this time, when they heard Huang Huai say this, they seemed to have an understanding!
Jin Youzi pondered for a moment, and when he saw Xia Yuanji coming in without saying a word, he couldn't help but say: "Lord Xia, you are the head of the household, according to your opinion, the emperor is doing this, is he converging the treasury?" β
Xia Yuanji was promoted in the Hongwu period and was recommended to enter Taixue. coincided with Zhu Yuanzhang's selection of students to enrich the imperial court, and Xia Yuanji was selected to copy the text. The students who went with him were not interested in copying and writing, and they laughed and made noise in the room, only Xia Yuanji sat upright and copied meticulously. Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated him very much, and promoted him to be the head of the Sichuan Department of the Ministry of Households, and since then, Xia Yuanji has served in the Ministry of Households.
After Yongle, Zhu Di was appointed as the left servant of the household department, and Xuan and Jian Yi were the official seal of Shangshu, and jointly formulated the enslavement system. In the fourth year of Yongle, Xia Yuanji presided over the household department, asked for redundant personnel, average enlistment, and strict implementation of the salt law, money and other systems to facilitate the merchants; Clean up the warehouses and plant them extensively to enrich the treasury. The number of accounts and inventories, the number of profits and losses of the field endowment, etc., are well known, and whenever Chengzu asks, the answer is like a stream. Although he is the country's "God of Wealth", but he is incorruptible, Yongle 19 years bluntly admonished, Chengzu was angry, imprisoned and raided his home, the following year, Chengzu expedition to Mobei, to exhaust the grain to retreat. Then after years of military defeats, retreated to Yumu River, Chengzu became ill from hard work, regretted not accepting advice, and said left and right: "Xia Yuanji loves me". Three days after Chengzu's death, the prince went to the prison in person, cried bad news, and asked Xia to be released from prison to discuss state affairs. Quite respectful of it.
Listening to Jin Youzi's first question, he was slightly stunned, the emperor's recent move is indeed to reduce the expenditure of the treasury, just to withdraw troops from Annam and prevent Zheng He from going to the West, he has a lot of silver in the middle of summer, he thought that the emperor was born with such a temperament, so he didn't care, and now he thinks that the emperor has been in a hurry to collect the treasury since he ascended the throne, and it is indeed not as simple as being diligent and thrifty? β
"What does the emperor want to do when he ascends the throne and collects the treasury?" Xia Yuanji also understood a little.
Huang Huai sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the emperor is going to move the capital?" β
"Move the capitalβ?" Jin Youzi and Xia Yuanji were taken aback and shouted at the same time.
Huang Huai hesitated and said: "I heard that the emperor likes the south, when the Yongle Emperor proposed to move the capital, when the saint was still the prince, there were many objections, but it was not to please the Yongle Emperor, and the status was not stable so he did not dare to raise objections, and now the saint ascended the throne as the enemy, I was in the Ming Dynasty, through the development of the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Quartet was stable. β
Yang Rong said: "Moving the capital to Nanjing, this is not a trivial matter, the saint has just ascended the throne, the foundation may not be stable, and he may not do this, is Lord Huang too worried!" β
Huang Huai laughed and said: "Lord Yang, I didn't think so, but the emperor's recent actions are too strange, Emperor Chengzu's actions, the saint has corrected them one by one, only the remaining "Yongle Canon" and the move of the capital have not yet been expressed, "Yongle Canon" is a cultural move, if the saint wishes, he only needs to gather talents to start, and there is no need to collect money so much, but what is needed to move the capital is a lot of money, manpower and material resources, all of which are indispensable, so the saint insisted on withdrawing troops from Annam and forbidding Zheng He to go to the West! The purpose is to prepare for the relocation of the capital! β
Huang Huai was about to continue, and at this moment, he heard the voice of the eunuch: "The emperor is driving the East Warm Pavilion!" β
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Gaochi, who was being held by the eunuch, walked in with a smile on his face.
Huang Huai and the others hurriedly got up and bowed and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" β
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and said, "This is the Warm Pavilion, and I have also taken off my court clothes, so I don't need to be so polite?" Sit down, right? β
Everyone thanked each other and sat down, and Gong E had already sent tea and snacks.
Aiwowo, sugar rolls, sesame halva, ginger shredded forks, sugar ears, noodle tea, and steamed dumplings have a lot of twists, Zhu Gaochi is fat, easy to be hungry, and needs to prepare some snacks by his side every morning.
After Zhu Gaochi sat down and drank a sip of tea soup, he glanced at everyone, and suddenly there was something crystal beating in his eyes, in the thrilling struggle of the year, countless people thought that he could not sit on the throne, that is, the horses of the dynasty were not optimistic about him, countless people betrayed him and turned away from him, but only they were always by his side, whether he was the prince, or the prince, or today's emperor, they followed him faithfully, never gave up, and thwarted Zhu Gaoxi's conspiracy several times, and finally made Zhu Di change his mind and pass on the throne to him.
Most of his merits on this throne belong to these people in front of him, without them, I am afraid that Zhu Gaoxi is sitting on the throne today.
The past was blowing in his mind like the wind, and looking at the people in front of him, a warm current surged in his heart.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Zhu Gaochi looked at the six people in front of him, exhaled softly, and said with a whimper: "In the past, I have been in prison for twenty years, and there are constantly villains who want to frame me, no matter how difficult the situation is, how sinister it is, and the pain in your heart, you all share it with me. β
The scenes of the past moved Zhu Gaochi's heart and touched him a lot, and he actually shed tears as he spoke.
Everyone on the field also has a lot of feelings, the battlefield of the year, not on the battlefield, but not inferior to the battlefield, countless people fell, and countless people stood up, it is a group of people who stood up, so that there is today's situation, with the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone on the field couldn't cry, and Yang Shiqi whimpered and said: "The wisdom of the first emperor was also moved by His Majesty's sincerity, filial piety, and benevolence." β
"Exactly! Precisely! β
"Woo-?"
In the East Warm Pavilion, there was a sound of crying, which was moving.
"Really, what are we crying about? Now that the saint has been able to inherit the unification, His Majesty is benevolent and generous, everywhere with Tang Taizong as a model, cultivating the Ming Compendium, loving the people like a son, ascending to the first month, he pardoned many old ministers of Emperor Jianwen, rehabilitated many unjust prisoners, abolished many harsh policies, withdrew troops from Annam, the people of the world have been rested, and my Ming Dynasty is just around the corner to prosperity. Huang Huai wiped his tears and said.
Yang Shiqi smiled and said: Lord Huang said very much, Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, and loves the people like a son, which is really the blessing of my Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the people. β
Zhu Gaochi looked at everyone affectionately, nodded vigorously and said, "Rest assured, I will never disappoint your Aiqing's hopes!" β
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After such a fuss, the atmosphere in the East Warm Pavilion was much more harmonious except for a hint of sadness.
Huang Huai was an anxious man, he couldn't hide things in his heart, wiped a handful of tears, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for daring to ask?" β
Zhu Gaochi attached great importance to Huang Huai, and when he heard his solemn tone, he hurriedly said, "Huang Aiqing, please speak?" β
Huang Huai gritted his teeth and said with a slight hean: "The old minister dares to ask the emperor if he has moved the capital?" β
As soon as Yang Shiqi fell into this voice, Yang Rong, Yang Bo, Xia Yuanji, and Jin Youzi turned their heads and looked at Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi didn't answer immediately, but glanced at everyone and said softly: "What do you Aiqing think?" β
Zhu Gaochi's voice was not loud, but the meaning conveyed was the clearest, the emperor did move the capital.
For Beijing, when Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, there was the intention of moving the capital, he set Nanjing as a garrison, and sent his trusted generals and eunuchs to command, this qiΔ a qiΔ move, all in preparation for the move of the capital, he was not interested in his father's northern expedition, nor did he like Beijing, he was imprisoned in Nanjing for decades, familiar with the situation in Nanjing, where he was, only when he returned to Nanjing, he could show his strength, so he was extremely tempted to move the capital.
After a period of silence in the warm pavilion, Zhu Gaochi said again: "At least seventy percent of the officials in the court are southerners, and they must also miss their hometown.
"Your Majesty, moving the capital is a big matter, not a child's play, Emperor Chengzu took Beijing as the capital, it was the Son of Heaven to guard the country, this move was very popular, His Majesty XiΓ ascended the throne for less than a few months, he wanted to move the capital, I am afraid that it will cause opposition from the ministers?" Huang Huai thought for a while.
Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, glanced at Yang Shiqi and said, "Yang Aiqing, what do you think of the move to the capital?" β
