Of course, Zhao Zhen knew what Bao Zheng meant, but it was also necessary to raise the Xijin Mansion to Beijing, Bao Zheng could not see the situation of future development, and the power and center of gravity of the Great Song Dynasty would shift more and more to the north.

Casually brushing aside a branch blocking the path, Zhao Zhen looked back at Bao Zheng and said: "What you said can be solved as long as you are willing to work hard, but the control of the grassland by the Great Song Dynasty is a necessary and unavoidable problem, how to strengthen the control of the grassland?" It is necessary to set up a political, cultural and even military center here, and Xijin Mansion is undoubtedly the best choice, and this alone is not enough, I also have to give it the title of accompanying capital. ”

Bao Zheng also planned to oppose it, after all, in his opinion, this matter should be discussed with the civil and military officials of the court after returning to Beijing, and the official family could not decide after thinking about it.

The designation of Xijin Mansion as Beijing was something that Zhao Zhen had planned for a long time, which was also his first step in controlling the grassland, and it was also one of the important plans to move the capital to Beijing.

Taking the grassland is not the same as occupying it forever, the lessons of the Central Plains Dynasty in the past dynasties can be a lot, Zhao Zhen has seen the most effective way to control the grassland from his history, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.

Xia Zhu knew that Bao Zheng couldn't say anything about the official family, and watched Bao Zheng eat deflated in front of the official family with a smile, he didn't plan to help Bao Zheng himself, he followed the official family to catch quite a lot of military exploits, to the point that some people in the court were greedy, but he had to be cautious, at this time offended the housekeeper, unless he was hysterical!

Besides, isn't it just to change Beijing from the Daimyo Mansion to the Xijin Mansion? What's wrong? The so-called Beijing should be in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and isn't the Xijin Mansion at this time just north of the Daimyo's Mansion? It is reasonable for the government to designate Xijin Mansion as Beijing! Bao Zheng just loves to compete, can't he just follow the words of the official?

Today's official family is not an ordinary monarch of a country, but a unique emperor through the ages, and what the official family does is publicized, I am afraid that it will be mythologized among the people, and it can really become the same character as the Confucian saint.

Even Xia Zhu could think of a question, Zhao Zhen was naturally prepared a long time ago, pointed to the stones on the ground and said, "What should I do if there is such a stone on the clean path?" ”

Although Bao Zheng didn't understand Zhao Zhen's words, he still said decently: "Naturally, I moved away." ”

Zhao Zhen pointed to the sky again and asked, "Why does the sun rise and sunset, and winter goes to spring?" ”

"Time and night, the cycle of the four seasons, this is the way of heaven."

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "What's wrong with setting up a companion capital in the northernmost place to guard the grassland?" Xijin Mansion is an important town of Yanyun, and my Tianwei Emperor Song takes the sixteen states of Yanyun, doesn't he need to set up a capital here? This is a great act of kindness by our Emperor Song, and it is also a sign to the world that my Emperor Song is determined to take responsibility! It is also the trend of the times, this is the way of heaven that I have set! ”

Bao Zheng was speechless by Zhao Zhen's words, indeed, there is no problem with changing Xijin Mansion to Beijing, even the Xianggong who returned to Tokyo City will agree and support the official family, but Bao Zheng is different from what they see.

He always felt that the official family attached too much importance to the promotion of Xijin Mansion to Beijing, you must know that although the Great Song Dynasty had four capitals, but only Tokyo City was the center of the Great Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng always felt that the official family was too enthusiastic about Xijin Mansion, he remembered that the official family once said that the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died in Sheji, if the Xijin Mansion became Beijing, it would naturally become a new country......

In fact, Bao Zheng is not worried about upgrading Xijin Mansion to Beijing, but about moving the capital to the official family!

For some reason, Bao Zheng had a strong premonition, and always felt that the official family valued Xijin Mansion more than other places, and even Tokyo City could not compare to the status of Xijin Mansion in the hearts of the officials, but he now has no conclusive evidence that the official family intends to move the capital, just to promote Xijin Mansion to Beijing.

Sighing secretly, Bao Zheng gave up his insistence, forget it, he can't manage this matter, moving the capital is really a matter that affects the whole body for a Central Plains dynasty, the official family as the king of a country should understand this truth, if the official family is holy and sage, even if the capital is moved, it will deal with trivial matters and be fully prepared, so many years The official family really hasn't done anything unreasonable.

Bao Zheng's appearance of no longer speaking was seen by Zhao Heng, this old man is also a rare reasonable, according to his temper in the past, this matter will be endless, and I am afraid that the number of times I will be admonished will annoy me to death.

Whether it is to transfer the political center to develop the northwest, or to strengthen the control of the vast grasslands, it is necessary to take the relocation of the capital as a congenital condition, and only by moving the capital to Beijing can we expand our influence and solve many difficult things.

But the great resistance to moving the capital can be seen from Bao Zheng's body, how can Zhao Zhen not see his thoughts? It seems that his actions are obvious, but why didn't Xia Zhu on the side mention it...... Obviously, this old man wants to protect himself and does not intend to be involved in the complicated matter of moving the capital, and he is indeed an old fox in the officialdom.

The more this is the case, the more Zhao Zhen can't let him go easily, after Bao Zheng left, Zhao Zhen deliberately pulled Xia Zhu's arm and said: "Xia has always been with me in politics, and he is the first civil official to follow me on the Northern Expedition, I know a lot about Yanyun, I have to talk to you about it!" Don't be in a hurry to leave......"

Xia Zhu's body stiffened slightly, he was about to say goodbye with Bao Zheng, he had already been involved in the matter of Xijin Mansion, and it was not far from the topic of the official family moving the capital, even if he Xia Zhu was pretending to be stupid, it was useless, at this time, it was the best policy to apply oil to the soles of his feet!

But it backfired, he didn't have a chance to give advice to Bao Zheng, and he didn't have a chance to slip away if he wanted to, and the eyes of the official family were getting more and more poisonous......

Xia Zhu wanted to cry and said without tears: "When is the official family?" Although the old minister followed the official family all the way, he was determined by the official family, and the old minister was afraid that it would be useless. ”

"Huh?! How could Xia participate in politics have no effect, just this kung fu of avoiding the important and lightening it is still quite perfect! I plan to move the capital to Xijin Mansion, what are your plans? ”

Zhao Zhen's disappreciative words made Xia Zhu almost scared to death, but he didn't expect the word moving the capital to become so disapproving from the mouth of the official, how much of a wave these two simple words can make in the court, and the courtiers must not quarrel!

With a slight wry smile, Xia Zhu said helplessly: "Since the official family has made up his mind, why do you need to negotiate with the minister......

Zhao Zhen's face became lonely, and he said with a hint of helplessness in his sadness: "Although I am the king of a country, it is really sad that there are few people who can really speak, and now you Xia Zhu are not even willing to confide the truth to me about the relocation of the capital, I am really a wretched emperor!" ”

In the face of the emperor's "true feelings", Xia Zhu's hairs exploded, he didn't believe that this was the official's heart, he knew his emperor too well for so many years, and he suffered the most losses from his hands, and Xia Zhu would not be fooled when he died in this drama in front of his eyes.

Xia Zhu said with a straight face: "Officials, gentlemen and ministers should not use schemes, please be upright!" ”

Zhao Zhen coughed dryly, he didn't expect his performance to be so clumsy...... No, it's not a matter of your own performance, if the person in front of you is not Xia Zhu but Di Qing, it will definitely not be like this, the main reason is that Xia Zhu, the old fox, is too cunning!

Well, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, that's right! It's Xia Zhu who is too cunning! It must be so!
