Chapter 582: To Move the Capital or Not to Move the Capital?
"Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, can the envoy sent to the Zhao Empire ask for help have a reply?" Min Qing asked Luo Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in the civil official queue with an expressionless face.
Luo Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped out of the civil official queue, bent down respectfully towards Min Qing and replied: "Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the envoy to Zhao will not send a letter, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Your Majesty don't need to worry, the truth of the cold lips and teeth, the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao Empire are still clear, I believe that it will not be long before the Zhao army will come to aid Jin to resist Qin!" ”
didn't get an accurate reply, Min Qing's unstable heart couldn't settle down for a long time, and even had a bad premonition, always feeling that something big was going to happen!
"Move the capital, can you not move the capital? Although my Jinling is not a well-known fortified city in the world, the wall is four zhang high, and there is a moat two zhang wide, so it is not a problem to resist 300,000 troops! Min Huo said hesitantly.
If he could, he would definitely not move the capital, because if he moved the capital, he would be the most shameful emperor in the history of the Great Jin Empire, setting a precedent for moving the capital, and being pierced through the backbone by later generations.
When Zong Xianzheng heard this, he immediately bent down and retorted: "Your Majesty, the only force we can use now is five thousand Imperial Forest Army, how can five thousand Imperial Forest Army hold Jinling?" We must move the capital, otherwise, you and I will be wiped out by the Qin army, and then the Great Jin Empire will truly become a headless fly, and the empire will die! ”
"You can't move the capital!" Min Qing snorted coldly in vain!
Seeing that Min Qing was so firmly opposed, the ministers couldn't help frowning, Zong Xianzheng was not afraid that someone would oppose the relocation of the capital, even if the person who opposed it was the eldest princess, only to hear Zong Xianzheng say to Min Qing with a solemn expression: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, His Majesty Emperor Zhaode said before the expedition that if the front line is defeated, you can move the capital to avoid the edge of the Qin army, and you can even go into exile in Zhao Realm, as long as there is still a trace of blood in the Great Jin, one day you will be able to turn over!" ”
"What a shame it is to move the capital, and besides, what is the use of moving the capital!" Min Qing stared at Zong Xianzheng with a pair of cold eyes, as if at this moment, she had changed from the eldest princess of the Great Jin Empire to the empress dowager of the Great Qin Empire, and her tone was full of undoubted majesty!
If this sentence is said by someone else, it will definitely be charged with disobedience to Emperor Zhaode, after all, Emperor Zhaode himself said that if the front line is defeated, the capital can be moved or exiled to Zhaojing, this sentence is completely against Emperor Zhaode.
But what kind of person is Min Qing, she is not an ordinary eldest princess, she has made great contributions to the Great Jin, if it weren't for the fool Li Qi, who carelessly let go of Du Changjing, how would the Great Jin fall into such a situation.
Zong Xianzheng frowned tightly, and asked in a tone of incomprehension, "Why did the eldest princess say this?" ”
"My Great Jin Empire has been established for more than 600 years, a total of 32 emperors, more than 600 years, my Great Jin has faced eight life and death crises, experienced 12 national turmoil, whether it is eight life and death crises, 12 national turmoil, but there was an emperor who avoided the war and moved the capital!"
"Your Majesty today is the thirty-third emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and you are also the courtiers of the thirty-third generation of the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, once the capital is moved, what a shame, you, and you, will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Great Jin Empire!"
"After you die, how to meet your ancestors and ancestors, and how to meet the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty, everyone, the shame is small, and the dignity of the country is lost, with the first time, there is a second time, do you want to see the future Great Jin Dynasty monarchs and ministers avoid war and move the capital every day?"
"Emperor Zhaode said that if the front line is completely defeated, you can move the capital or go into exile in Zhao Realm, but have you ever thought that if Jinling can't resist the Qin army, there is still a city in the Great Jin Empire that can block the edge of the Qin army, as for the exile in Zhao Realm, it will be even more ridiculous!"
"Although my Great Jin and the Zhao Empire are married, but the marriage is built under equal strength, without strength, will the Zhao Empire treat us equally? This princess can say that once she is exiled to the Zhao realm, the Zhao court will definitely ban us and others, and there will be no place to turn over! ”
"Sometimes, not all what the emperor said was correct, but also wrong, obviously, Emperor Zhaode's words were very wrong!" Min Qing talked with a solemn expression and analyzed the matter clearly.
Min Qing has been defeated since the palace and has grown a lot!
Min Qing's sentence was said to be in Min Huo's heart, and he thought the same way, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear of being charged with disobeying Emperor Zhaode's will, and the ministers in the palace were all silent after hearing this, thinking about whether Min Qing's words were right or wrong.
After thinking about it, the ministers found that what Min Qing said was too right, Jinling is the first fortified city of the Great Jin Empire, if it can't withstand the attack of the Qin army, then the Great Jin Empire and that city can hold the Qin army, as for the exile in Zhao Realm, the consequences will be even greater, and it will definitely be controlled by the Zhao court, and the chance of turning over is not as good as moving the capital.
Thinking about it, it's better not to move the capital, there is still hope for survival if the capital is not moved, and Jinling is the last barrier of the Great Jin Dynasty!
"So the eldest princess only saw it, and didn't move the capital? But what if you don't move the capital? Zong Xianzheng said with hesitation in his tone.
He doesn't want to move the capital now, but he still has to listen to Min Qing's method, if Min Qing's method is feasible, he will listen to Min Qing, if not, he still has to consider moving the capital, and he doesn't want to go into exile in Zhao Jing.
Now the Great Jin Empire has only two choices, move the capital or not move the capital!
"Convey the will to all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty, and order the new recruits of young and strong officials from all over the country to assemble in the Jinling Imperial Capital to protect the safety of Jinling, as long as Jinling's troops are enough, relying on the high walls of the Jinling Imperial Capital, they will be able to block the Qin army for several months!"
"As long as we can hold on for two or three months, the Zhao army will definitely come to aid the Jin Dynasty to resist Qin, and as soon as the Zhao army comes, the safety of the Jinling Imperial Capital can be solved, and the safety of the Great Jin Dynasty can be solved!" Min Qing said confidently.
"That's a good idea!"
"Yes, yes!"
"That's all there is to it now!"
The ministers couldn't help but start to discuss, discussing whether this method is feasible, after a short period of discussion, all the ministers felt that it was feasible, and if it was not feasible, they had to try, otherwise there was no other way!
"Your Majesty, just do what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess says!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Zong Xianzheng was the first to take the lead, and the rest of the ministers also followed suit, no surprise, all supported Min Qing's method, and concentrated the country's recruits to defend the Jinling Imperial Capital!
"Alright, alright, that's it!" Min Huo was overjoyed, thinking to himself, finally there is no need to move the capital, my aunt is really powerful, she actually persuaded these ministers!
Next, Min Huo personally drafted the holy decree and the edict, the holy decree was conveyed to the local government, the edict was announced to the world, the content of the holy decree was to order the local government to recruit new soldiers to send to the Jinling imperial capital, the content of the edict was to announce the Great Jin Dynasty, inform the people of the world that the Great Jin ushered in a new emperor, and there was no need to panic for the Great Jin Dynasty without a monarch.
