There was a little embarrassment between the two monarchs and ministers, and Zhao Zhen glanced at Xia Zhu and said: "I see that the matter of moving the capital is too heavy, so I am happy to joke, and Xia should not be surprised when he participates in politics." ”

Xia Zhu shook his head again and again and showed an embarrassed smile and said: "The old minister doesn't dare, thank you for your understanding......

Although he didn't even dare to say it, Zhao Zhen saw that his expression was not like this, and asked with a dry cough: "In that case, then Xia Shenzheng will tell me your opinion on moving the capital!" ”

Sure enough, he still didn't escape the encirclement and interception of the official family, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to run away from the matter of moving the capital, since he couldn't hide from it, then tell the truth, Xia Zhu nodded resignedly and said: "Qi Guan's family, the old minister does have his own thoughts about moving the capital." ”

That's right! How could Xia Zhu, as the deputy minister of the governor's affairs, not have his own ideas about the move, Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and the chamberlain laid a mat on the ground, which was a little longer than the spring in the north and south, and the sunny weather was a little slightly cold and the breeze was even accompanied by the smell of spring.

Zhao Zhen likes the casualness of the ancients, even if he sits on the ground, he can reveal a sense of leisure, as the king of a country, Xia Zhu did not feel that there was anything inappropriate, but sat in front of Zhao Zhen.

This is the relationship between the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, although there is a difference between respect and inferiority, but there is no slave to flatter, the emperor is broad-minded, and the courtiers are neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhao Zhen took a sip of the black tea transported from Tokyo City, and sighed comfortably: "It's better to be Zhenshan Red in the Great Song Dynasty." Xia doesn't need to take care of politics, there are only you and my monarch here, you can speak freely, after all, this matter is related to the country, even if it is not as good as the prince. ”

Xia Zhu nodded and said: "What the official family said is very true, moving the capital is related to the country, you must not be careful, the old minister looks at the advantages and disadvantages of His Majesty's plan to move the capital to analyze the Tianjin Mansion, and it cannot be generalized. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly on the surface, but he was already scolding in his heart, Xia Zhu said this thing for a long time and didn't say it, what are the pros and cons, this doesn't depend on what angle you look at, how can your pros and cons be the same as the pros and cons in the eyes of the courtiers? This is probably the highest level of "tai chi", right?

"I'm asking you to talk about your own opinions, not generalities, Xia Shenzheng won't have any opinions as deputy prime minister, right?!"

Zhao Zhen's words suddenly hit Xia Zhu's vital point, and he looked at the emperor dumbfounded, such a threat is too obvious, in other words, he is simply accusing his own talent, but Xia Zhu knows that this is the emperor's conspiracy but has to jump into the pit, otherwise wouldn't it be true to the words of the official?

Coughing lightly, Xia Zhu's expression became serious, although it was forced by the officials, but he himself already had an opinion on the matter of moving the capital, and now it is not so much that he is forced to speak, but that he is pushing the boat along the water: "Whether to move the capital or not is not something that the minister can contaminate, but the minister can see the pros and cons, and the promotion of Xijin Mansion to Xijing is indeed beneficial to the land of Yanyun." Once the whole territory of Yanyun is taken into the pocket of our Great Song Dynasty, it is inevitable to restore the people's livelihood, and the promotion of Xijin Mansion to Xijing will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, it seems that this old man is still quite clear! Although the prosperity of the province is not as good as that of the city of Tokyo, it has a unique scene, the magnificence of Ouchi, the city in the north of the city, and the land and sea department stores, gathered in it. Cream, vegetables, melons, fruits, rice grains, etc., are inexhaustible, and mulberry, hemp and wheat, sheep, pigs, chickens and rabbits, do not ask to know...... The water is sweet and the soil is thick, and there are many people with skills.

At this time, the Prefecture was like a small Tokyo, and as long as it was upgraded to Beijing, its development could be raised to a new level, mainly to lay the foundation for moving the capital.

I didn't expect Xia Zhu to be so on the road, Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile: "What Xia Shenzheng said is very true, the weight of the Great Song Dynasty lies in Yanyun, and the weight of Yanyun lies in Xijin Mansion. ”

Xia Zhu looked at Zhao Zhen in a daze, although the official family was eager to move the capital, he couldn't say it so directly! Originally, it was said that it was to promote Xijin Mansion to the capital of Beijing first, but now it is too anxious to directly say his original intention......

"Official, the matter of moving the capital still needs to be done slowly, after all, Tokyo has been the imperial capital for a long time, and once the move to the north is widely implicated, a little carelessness may cause turmoil among the people......"

This is a matter of course, Zhao Zhen smiled: "I naturally thought of this. Changing a comfortable posture at will, Zhao Zhen took out a booklet from his wide sleeves and threw it to Xia Zhu and said: "Look, this is what I want about moving the capital, since I also know what I mean, it's okay to take a look." ”

Xia Zhu did not doubt that he had opened the official's booklet, but after reading a little, he quickly closed it, originally thought that the official family was not in a hurry to move the capital, but after seeing the content of the booklet, Xia Zhu's opinion was completely subverted, this small booklet not only has the official's plan to move the capital, but also the importance of moving the capital and many supporting evidence.

With a smile that was uglier than crying, Xia Zhu sighed: "The old minister has no choice now......

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "No, you can also pretend that you don't know at all!" ”

Xia Zhu didn't even dare, he had already read this pamphlet, which meant that there was no room to stand idly by, how could the emperor's essay be easily revealed? Even if Xia Zhu is unwilling to do so, there is no way back now, so he can only resign himself to the side of the official family and support the relocation of the capital.

Since he stood with the official family, Xia Zhu carefully checked the contents of the booklet, and after a closer look, Xia Zhu was surprised to find that the official family had already prepared to move the capital to Xijin Mansion at the beginning of the pro-government, and it can even be said that the Northern Expedition and the relocation were linked.

The more Xia Zhu looked at it, the more shocked he became, the official family of the year had such a long-term plan when he was only a teenager, and then looked at the chic and casual official family in front of him, Xia Zhu couldn't associate the original young son of heaven with him at all.

Although it is difficult to move the capital, it is not impossible as long as the official family is willing, after all, the current official family has the aura of an emperor through the ages, and at the same time that the rule of culture has reached its peak, martial arts are also beyond the reach of the emperors of previous dynasties, once the Liao Dynasty is destroyed, the territory of the entire Great Song Dynasty will expand to a terrifying degree.

In this way, the matter of moving the capital does not seem to be a big deal, after all, the role of the capital is to facilitate the rule of the imperial court over the territory, and the same is true of Bianliang City, the capital of Taizu at the beginning, the importance of moving the capital is described in detail in the booklet, especially the control of the grassland is the top priority, Xia Zhu, a literati who is rich and rich, of course knows the disadvantages of the past dynasties.
