Chapter 740 The drums of the palace are coming
Xia Zhu has no way, now to invite the official family will definitely not be invited, if you can be invited, the official family will not stop the dynasty, since the enthronement and accession to the throne, in addition to the royal drive to lead the troops to the Northern Expedition, the official family has two things that have been insisted on, one is to talk about the feast, the other is to go to the court every day, today even the court meeting is just that, I am afraid that it is a liver fire.
Xia Zhu didn't feel that he had the ability to invite the official family again, so he could only look at Pang Jidao, who was learning from Ding Wei: "Who can invite the official family now, Pang Xianggong is idle?" ”
Pang Ji smiled slightly: "Actually, it is not difficult to invite the official family, the matter is man-made, the official family now regards today's public anger as a bargaining chip, we can also regard the courtier's dereliction of duty as a game of the official family, and now the official family is actually looking forward to us inviting him, so that he can put forward his own ideas and let us agree." ”
"What can the official family do with our approval or support for him?" Xia Zhu asked a little puzzled, in his opinion, the current saint can be said to be arbitrary, and the courtiers don't seem to be able to, and won't stop the officials' actions.
Pang Ji and Ding Wei smiled at the same time: "Then I have to ask you!" You are the supervisor of the Northern Expedition and the most civilian, didn't the official family reveal the news to you? Bao Zheng can see everything, you don't know, right? ”
Xia Zhu chuckled in his heart, could it be that the official family planned to use the public anger caused by this criminal edict to force the courtiers to give in and agree to move the capital? Thinking of this, Xia Zhu connected everything in front of him, yes! That's what the official family planned, this can be a conspiracy and conspiracy, a two-pronged strategy, and I almost haven't seen it yet!
Looking back, Ding Wei and Pang Ji have begun to doze off, obviously these two prime ministers have long known the cats, it turns out that only they are kept in the dark! Helplessly smiling, the attitude of the two ministers also shows that they support the relocation of the capital, otherwise they would not sit here and do nothing, sometimes they don't do anything, but they do the biggest thing.
Xia Zhu also sat down slowly like the two of them, picked up the teapot and filled himself with a cup of tea, the leisurely aroma of black tea slowly released his original pressure, obviously this public anger is under the control of the official family, and the official family has the ability to end this farce caused by the courtiers at any time, so what else do you have to worry about, just let the courtiers finally compromise.
In the end, everything that happened was to blame for the relocation of the capital, Xia Zhu said slowly: "I don't know what the two ministers think about the relocation of the capital?" ”
At this time, Pang Ji and Ding Wei, who were pretending to sleep, opened their eyes at the same time, and the only remaining bit of turbidity in their eyes was dispelled.
Pang Ji first spoke: "The old man has already heard about the relocation of the capital, but it is not regarded as a major event, our Great Song Dynasty territory is constantly changing, bigger and wider, after recovering Yanyun, it is even more golden, at this time the official family has the wish to move the capital is not groundless, now the Beijing division is shocked, the official family has a lot of complaints about the narrowness of Tokyo City, and several times mentioned the size of the Xijin Mansion, and now it seems that the move of the capital to the Xijin Mansion is a plan that His Majesty has already had. ”
After Pang Ji finished speaking, he looked at Xia Zhu, he had already speculated that Xia Zhu was an insider, how could the official family not find one or two henchmen to talk about such a big matter as moving the capital? At the time of the Northern Expedition, the only people who could be found were Xia Zhu and Cai Boyu.
Xia Zhu snorted embarrassedly and said: "Pang Xianggong is insightful, Xia Zhu admires, admires!" ”
Ding Wei said with a smile: "The official family's plan is very good, but there is nothing to care about the old man who moves the capital, but there are quite a few people in Tokyo who take care of it, even if there are no courtiers in the court to oppose it, the big families in Tokyo City, and even the clan, I'm afraid they won't support the move to the capital, right?" There are so many trades in it! ”
Xia Zhu didn't care, took a sip of tea and said: "This time, the official family is iron-hearted, just like the southern suburbs to worship the sky, everything that can't keep up will be abandoned, can the clan hug the heavenly family tightly?" As for those wealthy families, once the wealthy merchants and tycoons break away from Tokyo City, they will be nothing, and they will either go to Xijin Mansion to make a comeback, or they will sink with Tokyo City! ”
Pang Ji and Ding Wei nodded slightly, it seems that the official family is determined to move the capital, and even the pros and cons have been considered clearly, the matter of moving the capital is not small, and the problems involved are also as many as a cow's hair, what to do with the people, the families of the courtiers and so on A series of problems need to be solved.
Even if the courtiers agreed to move the capital, the people of Tokyo City were afraid that they would not want to, after all, they were still the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and once the capital was moved, it would not be the case.
But they don't know that Zhao Zhen's relocation of the capital will take three years, and now it is just the beginning, mainly to get the courtiers to agree, first move the court officials and yamen to Xijin Mansion, and then things can be done slowly, the people of Tokyo City have more than 800,000 people, all of these people are going to move to Xijin Mansion, the city of Xijin Mansion is huge, like the size of three or four Tokyo cities, and it is not a problem to accommodate these 800,000 people.
For the sake of the people, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to do it, and 800,000 people migrated at a rate of 200,000 people per year in four years, which was also unprecedented and huge in Chinese history.
But even if it is all difficult, it must be done, this is for the safety of the land of China, the Son of Heaven guards the country, so courage must be passed on from generation to generation, even if the Great Song Dynasty dies, even if the Son of Heaven dies in battle, it is the death of the society and the survival of the country, and the name of the Son of Heaven is not dishonored, this is the last dignity left by Zhao Zhen to future generations.
The situation in Xuandemen has been white-hot, the courtiers have already seen the situation outside through the small door of the courtyard to be leaked, and the people are still rational, but the voice of condemnation has boiled to the sky, and I am afraid that who dares to go out and lose face.
Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan's dispatch was outside the palace gate, and it was not a matter to spend it here, but they couldn't go out at the moment, so they could only look at each other and smile bitterly.
Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan were of good conduct and enthusiastic, and the personnel in the court were good, and soon a group of people joined them, and after greetings, they chatted about today's court meeting, but everyone avoided the official family's edict, and no one wanted to mention it at this moment, which made everyone's face gloomy.
Just as the two were chatting, a drum that resounded in the sky suddenly came, and Bao Zheng, who was just about to speak, changed his face and looked at the gate outside Xuande Gate in shock.
This strange drum sound is very thick, with a unique penetrating sound to shake the palace, until this time everyone suddenly woke up, Qi Qi and Bao Zheng looked outside the palace, someone couldn't help but shout: "Dengwen drum!" Dengwen Drum! Who is beating the drum?! ”
Bao Zheng frowned slightly and said: "The Dengwen Drum Courtyard is guarded by officials and sergeants, and there is the Dengwen Drum Inspection Institute on the side, so what does it mean that the Dengwen Drum can still be played?" ”
Ouyang Xiu said with a solemn face: "I'm afraid that the anger of the people has already flourished, and the officials don't dare to stop each other, and the sergeants don't dare to stop them!" Your Majesty's sin has made Your Majesty lose face, and it also makes me ashamed."
