Chapter 922: War of Words

After Chen Ying finished speaking, she bent down slightly and looked at Zhu Gaochi humbly. He wanted to see a little clue from Zhu Gaochi's face, but it was really difficult to see some changes from Zhu Gaochi's fat face without a little wrinkles, so Chen Ying had to stare at Zhu Gaochi's eyes instead.

After looking at it for a long time, Chen Ying was disappointed, from the eyes of this young man who was more than twenty years younger than him, he didn't see any emotional fluctuations. Zhu Gaochi's eyes are very calm, just like when he usually looks at others, no matter how high or low the other party's status and power are, his gaze is always gentle, subtle, and restrained, without the slightest change.

The prince's city was much deeper than he had imagined.

Chen Ying's calm heart was like a tense bowstring, and finally lost his strength, as soon as his fingers were loosened, the bowstring trembled, and his heart jumped sharply, and his breathing became short.

When he came, he didn't know if he could be accepted by Zhu Gaochi, and after repeated speculation, he thought that with his ability, with the power he controlled, and with the prince's current position, which was not stable, the prince was likely to accept him at least seventy percent. There's no private enmity between them, is there?

No matter how hard you tried to trap and trap before, it was all your own master! I, Chen Ying, hold the official and the mouthpiece of the Ming Dynasty, this is the power that the prince needs most at the moment, Qi Henggong is still willing to accept Guan Zhong, why can't the prince become my Chen Ying's son, Xiaobai?

Despite this, he was still cautious and decided to first ask for directions on the occasion of the official eunuchs taking advantage of the opportunity of Yunnan to summon merchants and make a fortune, and to find out the prince's mind. People want faces, trees want bark, if it is really irretrievable, at least it can't let your reputation be ruined along with your future or even your life.

Now it seems that I am afraid that he is about to miscalculate, and the idea of changing the court is likely to fail. Sure enough, after calming down for a long time, Zhu Gaochi suddenly smiled, Zhu Gaochi smiled, and Chen Ying's heart completely sank to the bottom.

Zhu Gaochi's smile is as warm as a spring breeze, his voice is as warm as a spring breeze, and his words are even more warm as a spring breeze: "The ministry is loyal to the imperial court, diligent in everything, and relieved to be alone." Regarding the prohibition of eunuchs from competing with the people for profit, this is the emperor's consistent proposition, and Lone will naturally act in accordance with the holy order. If someone abuses his power for personal gain and fills his pockets, it is precisely the duty of the ministry to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which can collect evidence of crimes, find out the crimes, and rule him by the rule of law. The king of Han and Gu are both prisoners, and this matter should not be concealed from each other, and the ministers can tell the king of Han about this matter together. ”

Zhu Gaochi is very regretful, really regretful. He knew that as long as he nodded, Chen Ying would immediately be able to use him, and the power that Chen Ying had in his hands could also be used by him, this person controlled the Metropolitan Procuratorate and controlled the Yanguan, which was very important to stabilize his position. (Net 7*

However, he could not accept it.

There are too many people Chen Ying has offended, there are too many officials who have been impeached by him and their families have been ruined, and most of the people who have been hurt by Chen Ying, those who have died of rabbits and foxes, are gathered under the banner of the prince, he can't accept Chen Ying, Chen Ying has gone too far and too far under the banner of the King of Han, how easy is it to get out at this time?

What's more, Chen Ying is the first think tank of King Han, and almost all the things King Han has done over the years has Chen Ying's shadow behind it. If Chen Ying doesn't fall, what reason is there for King Han to fall? This is like the father and emperor killing Fang Xiaoru, he can't help but kill, he can't help but kill, even if Fang Xiaoru has implicitly made a hint of belonging.

At the beginning, it was difficult to raise troops and swear to Beiping, and what was announced to the world was to follow the ancestors' training and be difficult, and the Qing monarch was traitorous. This traitor is Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai. If the father wins the world, anyone can not die, but these three people can never live, and if they don't kill them, the righteous name of Jingnan will not be determined, and the crime of usurping the throne and rebelling against the father will be confirmed.

Therefore, the damned can only die, just like Chen Ying today.

Chen Ying's orange-skinned old face twitched a few times, slowly bowed down, and said in a low voice: "So...... Lao Chen...... Retire! ”

This sound, like the fallen leaves swept by the wind, carries a sorrowful autumn mood......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Early the next morning, the General Administration Department received a letter from Chen Ying's envoy: he was sick, very sick.

Lang Zhong said that he needed a long time to recuperate, and Chen Ying was in an important position, so he was worried about delaying state affairs, so he asked to return to his hometown. Zhu Gaochi looked at Chen Ying's recital, just smiled faintly, and waved his pen to approve a line of big characters: "This is the appointment and dismissal of officials, and it will be submitted to the emperor for ruling!" ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't take Chen Ying to heart, and all the preparations they had made had to be temporarily stopped because the emperor suddenly issued an edict ordering hundreds of officials to "discuss the relocation of the capital". The crown princess came back from the Fuguo Mansion and brought Xia Xun's opinion, only eight words: "Stand still, adapt to the situation!" ”

It seems that the emperor's intentions, the Auxiliary Guogong, who has always been a last resort, is also a little confused, and Zhu Gaochi has no choice but to put it aside and deal with the proposal of moving the capital with spirit. The impact of this matter is too far-reaching and too significant, and as soon as the emperor's edict was announced, the court exploded.

The relocation of the capital is a major event related to the society of the country, and at the same time it is also closely related to every minister, and for a time the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were engaged in the debate, and only one day later, the opinions of the courtiers began to feedback one after another. There are far more officials who oppose the relocation of the capital than those who approve of it, and the voices of approval are almost inaudible.

The love of the people is like a son faction said: The imperial court has set the capital of Jinling for more than 40 years, the country and the people are safe, why should the good ones move the capital? Once the capital is moved, it is necessary to make great efforts to build Beijing, build the Beijing Imperial Palace, the imperial court has carried out repeated projects in recent years, and constantly raised troops, and the people have shown fatigue, and then they want to move the capital, isn't this a waste of labor and money?

The national economy and people's livelihood faction said: Beijing's financial supply and population are both problems, although the imperial court has river transportation and sea transportation, and is successively dredging some long-blocked sections of the canal, but if the imperial court moves north, Beijing will suddenly increase the supply of a large number of bureaucrats, family members, and even garrisons, and the supply required by the current river transportation and sea transportation will be expanded several times, at least for the time being, this condition is not yet available.

The military geography school said: Beijing is too close to Beidi, less than 200 miles away from the border fortress, there is no fence outside, there is no strategic depth inside, once Beidi invades, break through the pass, the horse releases Yanshan, Beijing city can be reached overnight, and it is too dangerous to put the Son of Heaven and such a dangerous place.

There were also some people who were worried that the capital would move north and that the crown prince would have one more competitor on the territory of King Zhao, but this reason could not be clearly stated, so they joined an opposition at will and made a high-sounding statement.

In addition, there are many people who strongly oppose the relocation of the capital out of personal, family, and hometown interests. Because Jiangnan has developed culture and education, and Jiangnan has the most scholars, Jiangnan officials account for the vast majority of the court. The relocation of the capital will undoubtedly touch the interests of their individuals, their families, and their hometowns, and they will naturally strongly oppose this.

Not only them, but also most of the heroes and relatives who followed Emperor Hongwu to fight the country, most of them were also born in the south of the Yangtze River, their homes are here, their roots are here, who is willing to go all the way to Beijing. Besides, compared with Jinling, Beijing is 108,000 miles less prosperous, and there are good places not to stay, who wants to settle in that poor mountain and remote land.

When Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital of Fengyang, he forcibly relocated 100,000 rich households to Fengyang, and if the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, he would have to move many wealthy households from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be included.

Either someone in their family was an official in the court, or they had a deep relationship with which official in the court, and at this time, the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showed their ability, and used their connections to issue the strongest opposition in the court.

There is also the feng shui gentleman's school, quoting Zhuge Kongming's words: "Zhongshan dragon plate, stone tiger, reflecting the wall of Ziwei, this emperor's house." "Talking about how good Jinling's feng shui is, as a reason why we should not abandon Jinling and go to Beijing.

Yang Rong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is a representative of this, no matter what his original intention was to oppose the relocation of the capital, he wrote to the emperor in black and white: "The mountains and rivers in the world, the situation is majestic and magnificent, the pattern is broad, the nine stars are arched together, and the ten thousand buckets reflect each other to become bright, and those who can be Kyoto can not surpass Jinling." ”

This opposition from the Feng Shui school has caused opposition within the Feng Shui school, who have a deep study of Feng Shui and Yi Li, and do not care much about politics. They don't care whether the emperor moves the capital or not, and they don't care why others oppose moving the capital, since someone mentions feng shui, they naturally want to express their opinions.

They believe that "the mountain is in charge of the people, and the water is in charge of the wealth". Behind the "mountain" representative, it dominates health and prosperity, and naturally includes national fortunes. "Water" represents the front, dominates the cause and wealth, and the water should be broad and low, and the most taboo is small.

From the point of view of Jinling feng shui, Nanjing City sits in the north to the south, relying on the north.

What kind of mountain is it to the north? Jilong Mountain, said to be a mountain, is just a small mound about 20 zhang high. Behind Jilong Mountain is Xuanwu Lake, and then to the north is Red Mountain, which is about the same height as Jilong Mountain, and it is also a small mound. To the north of the Red Mountain, there is the Shogunate Mountain, the highest of which is about 50 zhang, and then the Yangtze River.

Look, Chicken Coop Mountain is a small mound, Red Mountain is a small mound, Shogunate Mountain is a little higher, but the top of Shogunate Mountain is in the shape of a greedy wolf star with an irregular shape and a slight deviation, which is extremely unfavorable for the backer. There are only three backers behind Jinling, fragmented and powerless, how can they support such a large city?

In addition, all the backers are backed by the Yangtze River, and there is no connection to the large mountain range, so there is no support from the dragon vein.

What's even worse is that the qi of feng shui "scatters by the wind and borders when it meets the water", and the Xuanwu Lake, which is larger than all the mountains covering an area, blocks the dragon qi of Jinling's mountains completely.

Therefore, as long as the world is in turmoil, Tai Sui will go to Xuanwu Lake, where he will commit crimes, and his corpses will be all over the field, and Qinhuai will become a river of blood.

Although they were only talking about feng shui on feng shui, they didn't want to approve of Emperor Yongle's move to the capital, but this was the only voice that the eunuch sent by Zhu Di could hear who was in favor of moving the capital.

As soon as these people who are proficient in feng shui said that Jinling is not good, those who resolutely oppose the relocation of the capital immediately found more feng shui masters to refute it. Those who think that Jinling's feng shui is not good, give an example of from ancient times to the present, but where the capital is Jinling, there is no example of long-lasting national fortune.

They also said that Liu Bowen was only to welcome the holy will at the beginning, and had to set the capital of Jinling, in fact, he also knew that Jinling feng shui was not good, so he took great pains to build the palace on the east side of Jinling, next to Zhongshan to accommodate feng shui. It did not build the imperial palace in the center of Jinling City like all the dynasties of the previous dynasties that fixed the capital of Jinling, but Zhongshan is not strong, and now it has ensured the peace of the country and the people of the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years.

The opposition was dismissive, saying that Zhuge Kongming, who is wise and close to demons, praised Jinling feng shui, are you more clever than Kong Ming? Of course, no one dares to think that they are more clever than Zhuge Kongming, and this time the opposition seems to have the upper hand, but some scholars and old Confucians who have just finished the "Yongle Canon" and have not had time to leave Jinling have heard this but put forward different views.

They say, when did Kong Ming praise Jinling Feng Shui? It was when Kong Ming and Wu Kangcao went to see Sun Quan, Kong Ming was Uncle Liu Huang, if Jinling was really the emperor's house, he said this to the people of Eastern Wu, prompting Sun Quan to move the capital to Jinling, is it to help Sun Quan dominate the world? The national fortune of Soochow has only been fifty-two years, which shows that this is just a plan by Zhuge Liang!

These people's statements led to the archaeological school, and they started an academic debate, that is: Zhuge Liang, who is proficient in feng shui, said to the Wu people that Jinling is the emperor's house, whether it was because he saw that Jinling was not a long-term feng shui treasure of national fortune, so he deliberately set Sun Quan and used feng shui theory to achieve political goals.

In the entire city of Nanjing, only a group of military generals from the Jingnan faction supported the emperor's relocation of the capital, and most of these big men and coarse men came from the north with the emperor, and of course they were willing to go back, so they kept applauding, but as for why the capital was moved, they couldn't say.

There was a war of words in Jinling City, and the recitals piled up in front of the case of the prince and the cabinet scholars every day were like snowflakes, and the prince did not dare to pick and screen the opinions of the capital move, and all of them were sent to Beijing, and the number of postmen who were specially responsible for transmitting the recitals to Beijing increased sharply by six times.

At this time, Xia Xun was in Lushan, alone in Lushan.

Everything that happened in Jinling, he couldn't understand it.

He knew very well that the emperor knew about the open and secret struggle between the crown prince and the Han king, and also knew that he was assassinated, and in order to fight for the prince to the point of assassinating the minister, this had touched the bottom line of any king, but Emperor Yongle turned a deaf ear to this, and he still sat in Beijing, but he issued such an edict to Nanjing, and his intention was really intriguing.

Xia Xun couldn't understand it, but like a beast with six senses, he intuitively felt the danger, and this danger made him shudder. So, he came to Lushan. Five hundred years later, here, there was a giant who convened the world's heroes to hold a meeting, and that meeting changed the lives of many influential people.

The gentleman introspects, Xia Xun is here, he has to be quiet and think about it.

Qiqi begs for a coincidence, and Kuixing asks for votes.

It's the early hours of the morning, today's recommended ticket has just been released, steaming, a lot of support, if you have a monthly pass, please vote too!
