Lu Long is actually not far from Beijing, plus a section of the road from the capital to Shanhaiguan, the road is relatively smooth, the carriages and horses gallop very briskly, they rushed to Beijing before it got dark.

Beijing is now the location of the emperor's palace, if it is the imperial palace in Nanjing, it is almost time to lock the palace, and the minister does not need to go to the palace to see the driver, just wait for tomorrow morning to go to the Hajj. And this is the palace, there is no early dynasty, and the time to close the palace and lock the key is not as strict as the Nanjing Imperial Palace, so as soon as the sun sets, before the mountain sets, Xia Shi asked the Beijing officials who rushed to the news to guide the entourage and go to stay, and he quickly galloped to the original Yanwang Mansion, now the emperor's palace.

Xia Shi turned over and dismounted in front of the Yanwang Mansion, looked up at the majestic palace gate, and suddenly remembered that the last time he came here, he was still a white Ding.

As soon as Xia Tao threw the stiff rope, handed over the horse to the guards, and walked towards the palace gate with his legs.

There are three times more officers and soldiers guarding the palace than when they were in the Yan Palace, and now the emperor lives here, not a vassal king, so the vigilance is naturally very different. The guards guarding the door didn't actually know Xia Shi, but they just looked at his robes and knew that he was not a first-class military general, but also a marquis of Gongqing, so he didn't wait for him to come up, and a cunning lieutenant hurriedly lowered the steps to meet him, and asked politely: "Who is coming?" ”

Xia Tao took off his waist card and handed it over, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Xu, the governor of Liaodong, ask to see the emperor!" ”

As soon as the officers and soldiers guarding the door heard that it was the Duke of Fu Guo, they bent their waists, respectfully held the waist card to see if it was correct, and returned the waist card with both hands, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, please wait, this will be reported to the emperor to know." ”

"Ouch, this is Grandpa Fuguo?"

Facing a young five-grade official who walked out of the palace gate, he happened to hear Xia Tao's words, and immediately greeted him with a spring breeze.

Xia Shi looked at it, this person was only about three directions, with a white face and facial features, and a warm smile, which made people feel cordial when they saw it. Xia Tao stared at him and asked, "What are the feet?" ”

The official bowed his hand again and again, and gave a salute with a smile: "Xiaguan Beilong is in the Ministry of Rites Wailang Yang Feng, hehe is very coincidental, and you are the master of the matter." ”

Xia Tao just smiled, and Yang Feng came to him, still with a smile on his face, but his voice was much lowered: "Grandpa Guo doesn't recognize Xiaguan, but Xiaguan is a great name who has heard of Grandpa Guo for a long time......"

Xia Tao still smiled, he just thought that he was a hum who wanted to have fun with himself, so he didn't go to his heart, but Yang Feng's words changed, and a pair of bright eyes stared at him meaningfully, and said: "Yesterday, the emperor went to Beijing, and the civil and military officials in Beijing greeted the emperor and inspected the weather in Beijing with the emperor.

At that time, Qi Guogong, Tan Shangshu, Chen Shou and many other adults praised Guogong in front of the emperor! They praised the various ethnic groups in Liaodong Yunwen Yunwu and Liaodong for their barbaric nature, but they bowed their heads to the Guogong; Liaodong Cangsheng regards Guogong as a reborn parent and loves him very much. Hehe, the king of Sangliana is also in awe of the prestige of the prince in Liaodong, and if there is any dispute between the boundary and the people, he will also send an envoy to Liaodong for instructions! ”

"Huh?"

Is this a compliment, how does it sound like it's not a taste? Especially Qi Guogong, hey! Qi Guogong Qiu Fu, will he praise me? Unless the sun hits the west and comes out!

Xia Shi turned over in her heart, and couldn't help but take a closer look at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Xiaguan is a native of Beijing, and he was ...... in the original world. ”

He slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "It's wrong, it's wrong, now it's the eldest prince." When the Jing was difficult, the emperor led the troops to fight abroad, the prince sat in Beijing City, because he appreciated the officials who were quite diligent in doing things, so he made an exception from a small official to become an official, at that time he often walked around the prince, and he heard the prince praise the prince, and yesterday I listened to the praise of the adults, and I thought when I could see the prince, I don't want to get the opportunity today, hehehe, I am really honored! ”

As soon as he said this, Xia Tao's heart flashed like lightning, and he immediately understood everything.

What is Beijing?

Beijing is the foundation of the great prince Zhu Gaochi!

When King Yan raised the flag and instigated the battle of Jingnan, His Royal Highness the Second Highness accompanied him, His Royal Highness sat in Beiping, and His Royal Highness was still young at that time and had no influence. In the past four years, His Royal Highness has been in charge of Beijing's government affairs alone, such as conscription of troops and grain, packmen and soldiers, farming, firewood, industry and commerce, all of which have not been ignored, and the officials on the ground in Beijing are all familiar to him.

Especially in the past four years, Beiping has repeatedly been directly put in danger, because of the replacement caused by casualties and the appointment and dismissal of meritorious rewards and punishments, the frequency of official replacement is extremely high, Zhu Di set up Beijing as a line after taking the throne, but he sent some official responsibilities, but he only monopolized the power at the top, and the bureaucratic base of the middle and low classes is the original team left by Zhu Gaochi, how can there not be a few of his henchmen?

The Yang Feng in front of him is clearly the person of the eldest prince, he knows that he supports the eldest prince as the crown prince and belongs to the same faction, and these words are clearly a warning to himself. Thinking about it further, Xia Shi even felt that this foreigner, a member of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, was probably deliberately hanging around the left side of the palace, just waiting for him to come and admonish him.

Yang Feng saw his expression change, and knew that he had understood the intention of his words, so he snorted and arched his hand: "Oh, at first sight, the Guogong, under the surprise of the lower officials, some incoherent words, how to pull the Guogong to talk about empty words, the Guogong is from Liaodong, there must be something important to tell the emperor, the lower officials dare not disturb, farewell, farewell!" ”

Xia Tao still smiled, although he didn't speak, he nodded to Yang Feng and watched him go down the steps.

After a while, the cunning captain guarding the door hurriedly rushed to report: "The emperor announced that Yang Xu has come to see you!" After announcing the will, he stepped on his shoulder and said with a sneer: "Grandpa Guo, please!" ”

And and

"Haha, Wenxuan, you're here, don't be polite, sit, sit!"

Zhu Di was dressed in a light robe, his head was tied and his forehead was wiped, and he was fluttering in a Yanju regular suit, he greeted him very easily and comfortably, supported Xia Shi to look up and down, and said with a smile: "Wenxuan, you are dark and thin, and you have suffered a lot in Liaodong, right?" ”

Xia Shi smiled and arched his hand: "The minister is not afraid of anything if he suffers a little, he is afraid that he will not be able to do the errand that the emperor will give an explanation, which will live up to the emperor's trust." ”

Zhu Di laughed, waved his hand and said, "Hey, you're playing tricks again, aren't you?" Two battles and two victories, such a feat, if this is not a good errand, then the hundred officials will not be ashamed to die? ”

He pointed to the chair and asked Xia Shi to sit down, and after he went back to the bookcase, he sat down and said, "I arrived a day earlier than you, and I still live here comfortably, in Nanjing, I don't even have a good breath, let alone this old cold leg." ”

Xia Shi's heart moved, and he smiled: "Then why doesn't the emperor move the thieves to Beijing, wouldn't he be much more at ease?" ”

Zhu Di was slightly stunned, looked at him with a pair of tiger eyes, and suddenly laughed: "You kid, you are talking nonsense again." Jinling was established by Emperor Taizu Gao, and now it is only for the comfort of me, so he moved to the national capital? If you spread it, I will become a faint king who indulges in pleasure, and you will also bear the name of a traitor on the flattering king! ”

Xia Tao said in his heart: "Although it is not so simple to move the capital, it is certainly not for the sake of comfort, to establish the capital of Beijing, and to have your own political considerations of establishing the capital of Beijing. ”

Xia Tao didn't want to say too much about this matter, so he smiled at Zhu Di's words: "Song Taizu is eloquent, and the capital of the country was first established, but it was a problem. If the capital had been moved to Luoyang or Chang'an earlier, the Great Song Dynasty would have been in power for more than 300 years.

It can be seen that the location of the national capital should also change according to the times and circumstances, and there is no need to stick to the laws of the ancestors. If the emperor wants to move the capital, there must be a reason to move the capital, if the emperor does not want to move the capital, then there must be a reason not to move. ”

"Slippery head! Slick! Among the ministers, you Yang Wenxuan is the most slippery! ”

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, at this time, the waiter came in with tea, Zhu Di already had a cup in front of him, and he only gave it to Xia Tao, and then he had already retreated.

Because of this fork, the topic of idle talk was also abandoned, Zhu Di sat up straight, and said solemnly: "I have seen your recital, and I am very happy. Throughout the ancient and modern times, the danger of the Central Plains has always come from the north; Looking at the world, the danger of my Ming Dynasty is still in the north. Although the Tatars and Varat have not done much at present, I have never looked down on them.

If Liaodong is properly managed, it will be the strongest border wall of the Ming Dynasty, which can not only block the Mongols from connecting the Jurchens and Korea in the east, but also look down on their waists and ribs, so that they dare not dare to go south, which I value very much. I promised you all kinds of privileges before, and I specially allowed Liao. Set up a curtain and open a government to build a mansion, hoping to change the status quo of all ethnic groups in Liaodong who are about to leave the Ming Dynasty and rebel and attach to me.

As long as I can firmly control Liaodong in my hands and truly control it in my hands, then the threat from the grasslands will be greatly reduced, or even cease to exist. In your recital, the situation in Liaodong is complicated, and it is difficult for Hanmo to describe it all, and he said that there are still many questions, and you must ask me for instructions in person. Now I'm here, you're here. Having said that, what is the situation in Liaodong now? What are the remaining questions? ”

Xia Tao said with a difficult face: "The minister hurried and hurried, he just arrived near dusk, and hurriedly entered the palace, just to meet the emperor." The situation in Liaodong is really difficult to explain, and the ministers have many ideas, and they have to ask the emperor for permission. Now that the sun is thin and the sun is about to fall, if you talk about it in a hurry, I am afraid it is a bit hasty. ”

Zhu Di's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled mysteriously: "It's okay, you will go down in the palace tonight, hehe, you still live in the ......, the palace where you lived at the beginning!" ”

In the afternoon, I rushed back to my parents' house to take care of some housework, and I hurried to code the word after I came back, so the update was a little later. The father has an unfilial son, which is the sorrow of the parents, and the brother has a brother, which is the difficulty of being the eldest brother. The parents are old, the cranes are gray, the crows feed back, and the lambs kneel to suckle, let alone be born as human beings? Guan Guan also cares a lot about his parents, and hopes that the two elders will be happy and healthy!
