Chapter 32 The Choice of the National Capital
Zhu Yuanzhang patted the railing of the white marble, as if he suddenly thought of something, "Biao'er, if you are the emperor, where do you want to establish the capital?" ”
Zhu Biao's heart trembled, but fortunately he remembered that he was Zhu Biao who was stable!
Originally, I wanted to say, "The son is afraid, everything is naturally the father's decision!"
But on second thought, is this what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to hear?
Yes and no!
Saying this, it is undoubtedly the most stable choice, and no one can find fault with it.
But Zhu Biao is no longer a child, and he is already a little tired of this feeling of resignation.
But directly saying that he will definitely build a capital when he becomes an emperor is undoubtedly brainless, and no matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang loves his eldest son, he can't let him go like this.
Having said that, you can't run away with a reprimand! Don't even think about authority in the next few years.
Zhu Biao's mind turned, "Back to my father's words, there are only a few places in the world that can be regarded as the capital since ancient times." ”
"Chang'an has four gates, Fuwei according to Jing, Jincheng thousands of miles, the country of abundance, should Tianfu has the trend of "dragon and tiger", Luoyang has mountains and rivers arch Dai, the situation is called the world! Most of them have the shape of "back to the mountains and the sea"! ”
These are the best choices as the national capital, but now most of them are still in the hands of the Yuan Court, Chang'an has been war-torn for a long time, although Luoyang is located in the middle of the world, it is not conducive to resisting foreign invasion, in contrast, Yingtian is the best choice at present!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after listening, but still did not speak.
Zhu Biao knew that he was still not satisfied, and he also guessed where he wanted to set the capital.
"Does my father want to set the capital in Linhao's hometown?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, "It's still our son who understands us!" Let's just think that the dynasty and the country in Ying Tianli will not be long-term, so it is better to set the capital in our hometown, so that the Huaixi gang will also support it! ”
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of interest, knowing that he really meant this, and said softly with some hesitation, "Yes, it is also the hometown of the Huaixi soldiers, and they will definitely support their father, but in this way, the momentum of the Huaixi generals will be greater!" ”
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face froze, his brows locked at once, and the inexplicable majesty instantly pressed on Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao bent down slightly, and did not continue to speak, but waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's decision!
Looking at Lao Zhu, whose thoughts were constantly flying, Zhu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Yuanzhang would not let the power of the Huaixi generals go down!
In the final analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang was the leader of Huaixi when he fought the world, but when he became the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was not only the emperor of the Huaixi people, he was the emperor of the world!
The generals of Huaixi, including Li Shanchangwu, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, their power is all over the military and political worlds, and they have seriously threatened the rule of the imperial power!
You can't let a person break the law, just let him go just because he is a Huaixi person, in that case, where is the prestige of the imperial court!
"Biao'er, what do you say!"
"Back to my father's words, since my father doesn't like Yingtian, then first change Yingtian's name to Nanjing and temporarily set it up as the capital, and then capture Dadu in the future, change the name of Dadu to Beijing, and set up Nanjing as the accompanying capital!"
Zhu Biao suggested that the capital be Beijing, in fact, it was not because of anything else, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were not so easy to eliminate, and they had confronted the Ming Dynasty for many years in history, and Beijing was the closest to the frontier, so that the military news could also respond as quickly as possible.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, as if he thought it was good, and as if he just heard it.
Zhu Biao did not continue to persuade him, it is Lao Zhu's freedom to set up where, as long as he does not spend manpower and financial resources in the establishment of Linhao.
In history, Zhu Yuanzhang did build a palace in his hometown, which was personally responsible for Li Shanchang, and the scale was breathtaking, but it was abandoned after half of the construction.
Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Biao out of the Wu Palace, and escorted him to the palace that had been built.
The scale of the new palace building is limited, only the outer court and inner court buildings on the middle road, and no palace rooms have been built in the open space on the east and west sides.
The new palace is 790 meters wide from east to west, 750 meters long from north to south, there are four gates, the south is the noon gate, the east is the Donghua gate, the west is the Xihua gate, and the north is the Xuanwu gate.
Zhu Yuanzhang led his son into the noon gate, and Zhu Biao also watched with great interest, everything was brand new and very beautiful.
Enter the noon gate for Fengtian, inside is the main hall Fengtian Palace, the front of the hall is the Wen Building, the Wu Building. After the Fengtian Palace, it is the canopy hall, and the body hall. The inner court has the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace, as well as the East and West Six Palaces.
Listening to these familiar palace names, Zhu Biao was also helpless, but there was no way, these names were the best, and the future Beijing Imperial Palace was originally built according to the blueprint of the Nanjing Imperial Palace.
At this time, Li Shanchang ran over, "The minister pays a visit to King Wu to meet the prince."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, but Zhu Biao couldn't treat the head of Wenchen so casually!
Zhu Biao also bowed his hand, but did not speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang, "Shanchang, it's a little small here, how can it be enough to be a country!" Build it again, build a few more palaces and the East Palace, and hurry up!
Li Shanchang agreed one by one, but in his heart, he wondered who could actually change King Wu's mind?
He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build a new palace in his hometown, but even if he knew that it was not suitable for being the national capital, he did not have the slightest intention of dissuading him.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang swept through the Central Plains, his status has become too high, and Xu Da has been fighting abroad for many years, and the leader of the Huaixi people has become him Li Shanchang!
Dingdu Huaixi people's hometown, is the best choice for them! This represents their position in the new dynasty!
Presumably it's either the princess or the prince!
Li Shanchang was helpless in his heart, if he was a person from the court, how could he let him know the fate of going against the Huaixi people!
But the princess and the prince are the hearts and minds of King Wu, and they don't have the ability to threaten them.
Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Biao, his face showed a kind look, and he turned his head and talked to Zhu Yuanzhang that the prince was humble and elegant, and he was worthy of being the son-in-law of King Wu.
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite happy to hear this, and Zhu Biao was also humble, but his heart was cold.
Not like yourself! This is the reason and excuse why most of the princes were ostracized by the emperor in history.
After another conversation, Li Shanchang retreated with Shi Shiran, preparing to gather craftsmen to build a new palace before the founding of the country.
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face also subsided.
"Biao'er, what do you think of Li Shanchang?"
Zhu Biao said, "There is Xiao He in the Han Dynasty, and he is a person from Huaixi, and he has made a lot of great contributions to his father!" It should be the best choice for the prime minister of the new dynasty! ”
Who wouldn't take eye medicine?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not good when he heard this: "Do you also think that Li Shanchang must be the prime minister?" Do you know that both inside and outside the government and the opposition have already recognized Li Shanchang as the first hero of the founding of the country! ”
Zhu Biao's face showed doubts, "Father, there is such something wrong with this, please ask my father for advice!" ”
