Chapter 8 The way back to the palace is broken
Seeing that Zhu Di didn't say anything, the little emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji stubbornly knelt down again and said: "My grandson asks the emperor's grandfather for permission to let the second red girl go back to the palace with me, she lost her mother and sister at such a young age, it's so pitiful." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"But when she entered the palace, wasn't his father alone? Would you like to, little girl? When Zhu Di asked this, everyone couldn't hear whether he wanted to take the little girl into the palace or not......
Yao Qinghua had already prayed a thousand times in his heart, and quickly followed the handsome little guy of the royal family back to the palace, so without waiting for Zhu Di to finish speaking, he didn't care what the emperor's original intention was, so he blurted out: "The people's daughter is very willing." ”
Zhu Di looked at her noncommittally, as if waiting to hear her reason.
She mustered up her courage and said boldly, "The emperor thinks about the people, if he moves the capital to Beijing one day, then my father and I will naturally not worry about the day we meet." ”
"Move the capital to Beijing", as soon as these four words came out, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became solemn, and even the air seemed to have forgotten to flow, and several ministers who were waiting were stunned, and Zhu Di's face had already changed.
At this time, a long-bearded old man in a first-class official uniform jumped out and shouted: "Bold child, Taizu will be buried in the filial piety tomb, and the emperor will inherit the ancestral business, how can he forget his roots and move the capital?" Abandon the ancestral foundation and ignore the dragon vein fireworks? Abandon the relationship between father and son? ”
The old man's tone was quite intense, and he said three "disregard" in a row, and when he said the word Taizu, he hurriedly bowed respectfully to the south, and at first glance it was the die-hard old minister left by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
As soon as he made a noise, the guards on the left and right began to hold the hilt of the sword, just waiting for the emperor's order.
Yao Qinghua complained silently in his heart, "What an old man who doesn't know the current affairs, he doesn't even know that your emperor's ******** is to move the capital, waiting for death, how can such a stupid old guy stand in the court?" ”
Oh, no, maybe he knew the emperor's thoughts, but he thought that his own strength could change the emperor's mind, so he deliberately pretended not to know the emperor's mind and openly confronted the emperor?
At this time, Zhu Di's expression was solemn, his eagle-like eyes swept over everyone, and he was coldly silent, neither responding to the old minister's order to arrest people, nor evaluating Yao Qinghua's words.
Just a long silence.
But Yao Qinghua couldn't hold on.
She wondered, could it be that this Xueba had a wrong memory of this period of history?
She closed her eyes and scanned her memory bank with the high-speed search engine she had prepared in her head—
In the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Di issued a will: to build a Beijing palace in May next year, and dispatch Song Li and others to collect wood and burn bricks. Ordered Taining Hou Chen Qi to take care of his affairs.
On the first day of August in the sixth year of Yongle, Zhu Di decided to tour the north and ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy to agree on the ritual of patrolling. On the 11th, the edict was issued to the world.
In the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, toured Beijing, and in August, he selected a good mausoleum in Changping, Beijing, and began to build a long mausoleum.
However, looking at the solemn expression of the Yongle Emperor in front of me, it seems that I really said the wrong thing, do you want to punish me?
This is really, the emperor's mental trick, no one can guess.
What Yao Qinghua didn't know at this moment was that in fact, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's silence at this time was inexplicably moved because of this unintentional sentence between her.
"The government and the opposition all think that I, Zhu Di, moved out of my own selfish thoughts, but at this moment, this little girl blurted out the words 'The emperor thinks about the people and moves the capital to Beijing'. At this moment, Zhu Di had mixed feelings in his heart.
As an outstanding military strategist, he had long recognized the importance of Beijing, a strategic fortress in the north. At that time, although the Ming Dynasty eliminated the Yuan and Mongolian dynasties, the remnants of the Mongol forces were still very strong, and the forces such as Warat in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, and Arutai, the lord of the Mongolian Asut tribe, were around the city of Beijing.
On the other hand, at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Zhu Di made a grand wish: "If the people are well-off, so will my wish." ”
However, since ancient times, the south has been warm and comfortable, and the land is fertile, while the north is poor and backward, with years of war, and the development of the north and the south is very unbalanced.
In order to enable the people of the whole country to achieve a moderately prosperous life, it is first necessary to develop the economy of the north. The capital is Beijing, and this wish can naturally be realized.
However, everyone knows that the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels. For the princes and nobles who have lived in Nanjing for many years, how could the important ministers of the imperial court be willing to drag their families and move to the bitter cold north?
In the Battle of Jingjing, although there was a common interest to prevent Zhu Yunwen from cutting the domain, Zhu Di still found a grandiose reason for himself, that is, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a priceless book called "Zu Xun", which clearly stipulates that if there is a traitor in the imperial court, the emperor can secretly send the prince to Beijing to hoe the traitor. Zhu Di grasped this ancestral precept and ordered the world with "Qingjun's side, it is difficult to raise troops and appease", but now, Zhu Di wants to openly turn his back on the ancestral foundation and abandon the dragon vein fireworks, I am afraid that even those brothers who fought with him at the beginning will not support it...... In what way to convince everyone, Zhu Di brewed in his heart......
This brewing is 7 years.
Today, let this country girl help him speak out, and for a while, the emperor was surprised and delighted, but he had to do it quietly.
At this time, looking at the shocking expressions of several old ministers around him, Zhu Di already knew it in his heart.
So, he pretended to be angry, and said with something in his words, "You little girl, you are bold in speaking, who said that I want to move the capital." If you wish to move the capital, then wait for that day to come and we will see you again. ”
Although he seemed to be criticizing the little girl for talking ramblingly, he didn't promise to take her back to the palace, but let her wait indefinitely, but for the long-bearded old minister, the emperor didn't even say a word to him, and it was embarrassing to be left to dry on the side for so long.
Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson who has been following Zhu Di and is well versed in the emperor's grandfather's style of doing things, finally realized that the emperor's actions were very meaningful at this time, and he knew that interceding for this girl would only cause extraneous branches, so he had to keep silent.
But Yao Qinghua's heart was like five thunderbolts, Zhu Di's words completely cut off her way back to the palace with Zhu Zhanji, how good is this.
Just when Yao Qinghua was anxious about the way back to the palace, a pretty girl in palace clothes suddenly came over in a panic and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang just took the medicine of the imperial doctor, and immediately vomited again. Niangniang's whole body is now swollen like a leather ball, she has been unable to urinate for three days, her throat is swollen, she can't speak, Xian Concubine Niangniang just came to Beijing and fell ill, afraid of worrying the emperor, and has not allowed the slaves around her to tell the emperor, the slaves are brave, and the Xian Concubine Niangniang's body is already delicate......
