Yang Shiqi didn't want to speak, but the emperor asked, and it was not good not to say something, for the emperor's relocation of the capital, he knew very well, the emperor had already made up his mind about this matter, but because he had just ascended the throne and the foundation had not yet been consolidated, he did not dare to implement it immediately, otherwise, why would he collect a large amount of treasury and transport a large number of materials from the north to Nanjing! “

However, at present, Zhu Gaochi has only been on the throne for a few months, and the situation between the DPRK and China has not been completely stabilized, and when Emperor Chengzu was in power, he went to Nanyang, invaded Mongolia in the north, repaired the "Yongle Grand Canon", and moved the capital to Beijing.

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Shiqi opened his mouth and said: "What Lord Huang said is extremely reasonable, moving the capital is a big matter, not a child's play, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, the situation between the DPRK and China has not yet been stabilized, and the people want to live and work in peace and contentment. “

Zhu Gaochi's flickering eyes flashed a hint of gloom, he pondered for a while, sighed and said: "I am worried that once I make an order to move the capital to Nanjing, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of Beijing will have many complaints, especially the hundred officials who have settled here for many years, they will not accept it, and it will cause greater turmoil, so I am in a dilemma, and I have not made the decision to move the capital for a long time, and I just want to wait for the time to be ripe before making this move?" For this reason, I have stopped the treasure ships to go to the West, stopped the royal procurement of jewelry, and withdrew troops from Annam, just to make some preparations for the relocation of the capital, and now that I have been on the throne for several months, the people are recuperating, and my dynasty has entered a period of stability and strength. “

Because of Zhu Gaochi's words, Nuan Ge became quiet, and no one spoke.

Half a sound, Yang Rong said: "What His Majesty said, it is not reasonable, although moving the capital is a big deal, but my Ming monarchs and ministers are working together, and it is not impossible to move the capital?" Speaking of this, Yang Rong glanced at Zhu Gaochi, saw that he was listening attentively, and continued: "Weichen is just worried that there are many official positions in Beijing for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and most of the generals in the army are the soldiers of Emperor Chengzu who followed back then, and their foundation is in Beijing, so they may not be willing to go back?" ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "What Yang Aiqing said is extremely true, I am just worried about this, so I have any scruples?" “

Yang Bo, who had never spoken, smiled and said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty is too worried, Nanjing brings together Yunhua from all directions, as the capital, it is not worse than Beijing, and after many years of construction by Emperor Taizu, it has already surpassed Beijing City, and furthermore, after the Jingnan, the Yongle Emperor ascended the throne in Nanjing for many years, and the generals who followed Jingnan back then also had families and real estate in Nanjing. “

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, staring at Yang Bo and said, "How to tempt?" “

Yang Bo twisted his long beard and smiled, "Actually, it's very simple, the prince is in Nanjing, His Majesty can order him to pay homage to the Mausoleum of the Emperor Tai, and then start river transportation, and when the situation in the imperial court is stable, His Majesty can learn to announce that he will go to Nanjing to see the reaction of the Chinese military officials!" ”

For moving the capital to Nanjing, Zhu Gaochi is imperative, but because of the situation, and he does not have the iron-fisted methods of his father, he can't help but have some scruples and worries, Yang Bo's words are undoubtedly on his heart, and he groaned slightly, and said: "This method is good, I don't know the attitude of the ministers, and the ministers don't know my intentions, a temptation, maybe it will be more beneficial to move the capital!" Yang Aiqing's words are deeply in line with my intentions, so this matter will be done? ”

The monarch and the minister carefully considered the details of the temptation, and after this consideration, it was already dusk, and Zhu Gaochi waved his hand to let everyone retreat.

After dealing with a day's government affairs, Zhu Gaochi was slightly tired, looked at the sky outside the window, and saw that the sunset had already dyed the sky over the imperial city bright red.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Zhu Gaochi spit out heavily, and said in a low voice: "Go to Cining Palace!" ”

The eunuch Haitao shouted at the top of his lungs: "The emperor is driving Cining Palace!" Two eunuchs had already walked in with their bows and supported Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi stood up with difficulty, stumbled a few steps, suddenly thought of something, turned his head to Haitao and said, "Let someone send another Chun Dan!" “

"Your Majesty, there are only twenty pills in this Spring Pill in total, Your Majesty, two pills a day, and the last pill?" Haitao bowed and said.

"So fast?" Zhu Gaochi frowned and muttered, "You send someone to Le'an Prefecture and ask the King of Han to pay me another thirty pills!" “

"Minions understand!" Haitao bowed his body in response, looked at Zhu Gaochi's distant back, and sighed softly: "The emperor doesn't care about his body too much, that pill is offered by the King of Han, what the King of Han thinks, everyone knows, but His Majesty doesn't know?" “

"Hai Gong, His Majesty is so good, this body is only afraid of ——?" A white-faced and beardless middle-aged eunuch who followed Haitao saw that the emperor had gone away, and there was no one else in the huge warm pavilion, so he whispered.

"Yes, the emperor's body is already weak and sick, not as good as the King of Han, and the Emperor Chengzu has been delaying the establishment of the crown prince because of this, the reason doesn't need me to say more, I guess you know it, right?"

The middle-aged eunuch bowed down and said, "Well, Emperor Chengzu wants to set up a second prince, King Han!" “

Gonggong Hai's brows furrowed slightly, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, he looked at the invisible Zhu Gaochi, and sighed softly: "Later, the King of Han did many injustices, so that Emperor Chengzu noticed it, and only then did he fulfill the hearts of the ministers and set up the saint as the crown prince?" After the death of Chengzu, His Majesty sat on the dragon chair and became the emperor, but he didn't care about his body so much, the emperor was only afraid of ——? “

The middle-aged eunuch glanced at Gonggong Hai and said: "What Gonggong Hai said is yes, His Majesty sat on the dragon chair, but the king of Han is still there, and the slave heard that after the king of Han was demoted to Le'an Prefecture, he is actually not very peaceful, and he has been thinking about this dragon chair, and the pill is his tribute, the purpose of Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, but it is a pity that His Majesty is kind and generous, saying that the king of Han is a loyal minister." The slightest suspicion makes people so worried? “

In the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that eunuchs and female favorites had been the cause of disasters since ancient times, "the disaster of female favorites often begins with politics, the power of relatives often begins with grace, the prosperity of eunuchs often begins with the soldiers, and the monopoly of powerful ministers often begins with deception.

However, he was confident that "there is a way to control it", that is, eunuchs "do not pretend to be soldiers, then there is no disaster of eunuch temples", prohibiting eunuchs from interfering in politics; It is not only a clear "ancestral teaching", but also appeals to the legal system of government decrees, and is an unquestionable "ancestral law".

In the tenth year of Hongwu, there was an old eunuch, who was completely out of good intentions, and pointed out that there were obvious errors in the official documents. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the eunuch was right, but he still immediately ordered him to be expelled from the palace and sent back to his hometown, because the eunuch "interfered in politics". But everything is not absolute, Jing is difficult to fight, Jianwen left and right eunuchs for Zhu Di to make a lot of contributions, so after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he trusted the eunuchs extremely much, and many eunuchs were reused, Zheng He went to the West, Hou Xian made the Western Regions, Wang An and other superintendent camps, and Ma Jing inspected Gansu. In the eighteenth year of Yongle, the East Factory was added, and eunuchs were appointed to preside over it, specializing in reconnaissance and spying on the situation of the courtiers and the people. In this way, eunuchs can send envoys, levy special orders, supervise the army, divide towns, and spy on the hidden affairs of their subjects, and have a lot of power, but they dare not make more accusations against the government and government, and rarely carelessly, and fall into the mouths of those civil officials, is that not a joke? Therefore, a eunuch with an official position like Haitao did not dare to say much about the government.

Haitao glanced left and right a few times, and after making sure that there was no one, he snorted and said: "Not only is King Han restless, but King Zhao is safe, and he has not been less active over the years!" It's just that this person is inferior to the King of Han, and what he does is that I, a eunuch, can't stand it? How can such a person accomplish great things? “

The middle-aged eunuch said with a smile: "What Hai Gong said is extremely true, in today's world, except for the saint, I am afraid that the prince is the most courageous!" “

Hai Gong's eyes lit up, he glanced at the middle-aged eunuch beside him in surprise, and said appreciatively: "Although you are older, your vision is not bad?" On the night when the crown prince was born, when Emperor Chengzu was still the king of Yan, he had a dream, he dreamed that his father, Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang, gave him a big gui? Do you know what Dae-kyu is? ”

The middle-aged eunuch's eyes flashed, and he shook his head stupidly, and said, "I don't know about my humble position? “

Gonggong Hai was a little proud on his face, he didn't see the trace of disdain that flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and continued: "It's okay to sue you, this Dagui symbolizes power, Emperor Taizu gave Dagui to King Yan and said to him: "The grandson of the heirloom will be prosperous forever." Speaking of this, Gonggong Hai glanced around, lowered his voice and said: "Emperor Chengzu is recalling the scene in his dream after waking up, and he feels very auspicious. Suddenly, someone reported that the emperor's grandson had been born. Emperor Chengzu was shocked, only felt that the dream was true, and immediately ran to see his grandson, only to see that the grandson looked very much like himself, and his face was heroic, Chengzu was very happy after seeing it, and was busy: "This is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty." Later, he waved his troops to the south and seized the throne of his nephew in one fell swoop, you see a few years ago, where did Emperor Chengzu not take the imperial grandson, and now the saint can ascend the throne as the emperor, most of the credit can be attributed to the prince? ”

^^^^^^^^^^^Note:

Zhu Gaochi suffered from an incurable disease due to excessive indulgence, which was recorded in the Ming Dynasty Lu Li's "Ill and Easy Chronicles": "Emperor Renzong died very quickly, suspected of being a thunderstorm, and suspected that the palace people wanted to poison Zhang, and mistakenly hit the top." To taste the thunder eunuch, quality, the clouds are not, and the cover is also yin. The theory of "yin disease" came from the mouth of a eunuch at the time of Zhu Gaochi, and it should have a certain degree of credibility. At that time, there was probably no cure-for the treatment of such "yin syndrome", which gave some traitors an opportunity. In this regard, "History of the Ming Dynasty. It was recorded in the Biography of Luo Rujing, "...... The heir of the first emperor (Renzong) has not reached the deadline...... The prescription of the offering stone to cause illness also. From this point of view, the direct cause of his death may have been poisoning and death after taking the golden stone prescription for "yin disease".
