Xia Zhu was originally reluctant, after all, he was a Wenchen, and many times the position he stood on was opposite the emperor, wasn't Wenchen's task to assist the emperor and persuade the emperor? This also made them unconsciously stand on the opposite side of the emperor, which was not something that he Xia Zhu could change.

Since ancient times, this has been the case with all the famous ministers in history, and only a few people have become famous ministers by following the emperor.

But in front of him, Xia Zhu can indeed see the benefits of the relocation of the official family, not only for the present, but even for the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, there is no harm to the successive dynasties, almost all the dynasties before the Great Song Dynasty have been constantly harassed by the northern nomads and there is no proper solution.

The Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall of Qin, the Han Dynasty built the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, marriage, conquest, and affinity, all kinds of methods have been used, but the nomads on the grassland are like leeks, and they will soon grow a stubble again after a stubble, and the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Hu people can not be completely solved.

But no dynasty has ever had the courage to establish the capital of a country in Youzhou, which is the closest place to the grassland, think carefully about the official capital Youzhou Xijin Mansion is wonderful, although it is very close to the grassland, but it has innate geographical conditions, Taihang Mountain, Yin Mountain has become an excellent location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui starts from Yuhang in the south, and reaches Zhuo County in the north, and Zhuo County here is Xijin Mansion.

There is the danger of mountains and rivers, the convenience of Beijing and Hangzhou, it can be said that Xijin Mansion is fully capable of connecting the Central Plains and even Lingnan, even if there is no these, the highway of the Great Song Dynasty can also make it connect to the world! Over the years, the construction of highways has spread all over the Great Song Dynasty, and it can be said that anyone in the Great Song Dynasty is the beneficiary of the highway, and the person who leads all this is the official family in front of him.

Xia Zhu sighed slightly: "Even if the old minister doesn't want to admit it, I still have to say that the advantages of moving the capital outweigh the disadvantages, and it is very important to the court, the people, and even everything." Your Majesty is wise......"

Zhao Zhen touched his head, he didn't expect Xia Zhu to agree so readily, he thought that Xia Zhu would insist on denying the fact of moving the capital, and yes, as long as the benefits of moving the capital can be seen by individuals, compared to Bao Zheng, the turmoil brought by moving the capital is the greatest.

Everyone saw something different, and Xia Zhu spoke again: "Your Majesty, the matter of moving the capital may seem like a matter of effort to you, but in the eyes of some people, it is the destruction of the foundation, and many people are entangled with the interests of Tokyo City, and once the capital is moved, it will definitely make these people desperate." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Yes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, and words are not talking, when Taizu planned to move the capital to Luoyang, it was not resolutely opposed, but the more so, the more I want to move the capital, and I can also take this opportunity to completely solve those intertwined local snakes, isn't it?" ”

Xia Zhu was stunned, but he didn't expect the official family to have this trick waiting here!

Moving the capital can indeed make the huge interests in Tokyo disappear in an instant, and the officials have long planned to clean up these filthy gray areas? Every dynasty is like this, as long as there is a prosperous era, there will be many dirty things breeding, even the Great Song Dynasty is no exception.

Xia Zhu didn't dare to say how clean the civil officials in Tokyo were, since the officials had already meant this, they must have had solid evidence, no wonder Bao Zheng's opposition was so useless in the eyes of the officials, and the officials didn't care about his opposition at all.

Seeing Xia Zhu's surprised appearance, Zhao Zhen looked at the sky and said: "Instead of spending a lot of effort to rectify, it is better to break and rebuild, officials are like this, once they settle down, they start to think about themselves, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is not theirs, even if the Great Song Dynasty is gone, their descendants can go to the new dynasty to become officials, whose son of heaven does not need courtiers to manage the world?" ”

Zhao Zhen's words hit Xia Zhu's pain point, and he straightened his body and bowed down: "Your Majesty's words are wrong!" As a minister, he should put the country first, and His Majesty first, although there are traitorous people mixed in, but it must not be generalized, in fact, loyal ministers are often redundant traitors, otherwise how can the world be peaceful? ! ”

Obviously, it was the matter of moving the capital, how did it get involved with the courtiers, or the result of looking at the world with malicious thoughts for a long time, Zhao Zhen coughed lightly and said: "Ahem...... The topic is far away, my relocation of the capital can be described as killing three birds with one stone, one can guard the grassland, the second can break the original entanglement of interests in Tokyo City, and the third can make Xijin Prefecture more prosperous and connect the north and the south, how about it? ”

Xia Zhu really admired Zhao Zhen's methods and stratagems, and bowed respectfully: "The old minister is impressed!" ”

"Don't talk about that, but talk about something practical, okay?"

Unable to hide, Xia Zhu nodded and said: "The minister obeys the order, the old minister thinks that the original plan of the official family is very good, first promote the Xijin Mansion to the capital of Beijing, and the matter of moving the capital is slowly being planned, and it is not difficult to take His Majesty's outstanding achievements." ”

Sure enough, it was Xia Zhu, every sentence was to the point, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said: "Xia's words to participate in politics are exactly what I want." ”

But as soon as Zhao Zhen's words of praise came out, he was interrupted by Xia Zhu: "The old minister feels that the difficulty of this matter is not in the relocation of the capital itself, but how to appease the people, Your Majesty wants to move the capital, the views of the courtiers are important, but the views of the people cannot be ignored, they are capable of the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but suddenly they want to become the people of the capital, and they are definitely unwilling to do so, Your Majesty's name of benevolence is known to the world, and there should be a proper way to do this." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "The matter of moving the capital is not done overnight, I plan to move slowly in three or five years, the yamen officials of the imperial court are easy to handle, and someone will naturally be able to figure out a solution to the problems of the people." ”

Xia Zhu was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that the official family was still safe, and it would take three or five years to move the capital, so that many problems would be solved.

Seeing Xia Zhu's breath of relief, Zhao Zhen said: "I am no less worried than you, today I just test you and Bao Zheng a little to see who is on my side, it seems that I am too worried, don't think about it, it's you Xia Zhu......"

Xia Zhu couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know if the official's words were praising him or hurting him, but since he was standing with the official, there was nothing to hide: "Bao Zheng's worry is also the minister's worry, in fact, this Bao Zheng should also participate, if he is there, he will be able to act properly, he is the most concerned about the people." ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "This is natural, and Bao Zheng has also seen that I plan to move the capital to Xijin Mansion, at this time, it is better to persuade than to hide from him, and I will leave it to you!" ”

If there are more lice, Xia Zhu nodded resignedly, and he didn't want to help him share the pressure with him...... Since you can't run, why don't you pull Bao Xiren in?

Bao Zheng, who was already sitting in the yamen and preparing to work, suddenly sneezed, "Could it be that someone is talking about the old man?" Strange ......"
