The capitals of all dynasties are the core areas integrating politics, military and culture. In any dynasty, the capital is unique and does not change once chosen, except in exceptional circumstances.

For example, when the enemy approached, the imperial court had to move the capital; Another example is that the capital city chosen when the dynasty was established was not suitable for controlling the country, so the imperial court had to move the capital to facilitate the management of the world.

The location of the capital city was very particular, and it was necessary to consider the stability of each part of the country, prevent riots, and suppress bad luck. Before the Tang Dynasty, the main turmoil of the dynasty came from the Tubo and Turkic in the northwest, and Xi'an had obvious regional advantages, so the capital was placed in Xi'an, which had an absolute deterrent effect on the alien races in the northwest.

In the Song Dynasty, the main enemy was the Liao State established by the Khitan people in the north, and Xi'an was not conducive to the stability of the north, so the imperial court set the capital in Bianjing, which had mountains as a natural barrier.

Later, after Jin destroyed Liao, he waved his army to the south and captured the second emperor of Huiqin, and the ministers fled to Hangzhou with the prince Zhao Gou, established the Southern Song Dynasty, and took Hangzhou as the capital, and began the humiliating history of more than 100 years of being called a minister and paying tribute.

The Ming Dynasty is the only dynasty that exists in the second Beijing system, the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang relied on Nanjing to seize the world, and has a deep affection for Nanjing, and because of the perennial war, decay in various places, Zhu Yuanzhang looked down on the country, and finally found that it was better for his old nest, so he made Nanjing the national capital.

In order to effectively control and manage the northeast and northwest frontiers, he directly moved the capital to the front line of national defense and designated Beiping as the national capital. After that, he drove his own expedition and five expeditions to Mongolia, and truly responded to the sentence: "Those who dare to offend my strong man will be punished even if they are far away!"

After the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor, no matter how much pressure the Ming Dynasty encountered, it neither surrendered on its knees nor paid compensation for land cession. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was in a situation of internal and external troubles, but still divided the troops into two ways to deal with the Manchu Qing and Li Zicheng, and never gave up the desire for "Liao can be restored" to the land outside the Guan.

From Ming Yingzong to Emperor Chongzhen in several battles to defend Beijing, the Ming Dynasty was even more determined, and the soldiers still preferred to die rather than move the capital under the city, and it was the only dynasty in the 5,000-year history of China that truly achieved the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the king died in Sheji.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty is the most backbone dynasty in Chinese history, throughout the Ming Dynasty, there is no peace with relatives during the Han Dynasty, no indemnity, vassals, and land cession during the Great Song Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital, it still retained the imperial court system of Nanjing, as a companion capital, and the same as the Beijing Division, set up six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration Division, the Five Military Governor's Office, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian and other institutions, and the rank of the officials was also the same as the Beijing Division. Beijing is located in Shuntianfu, and Nanjing is located in Yingtianfu, collectively known as Erjingfu.

Although the officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing are the same as those of the Beijing Division, most of them have no actual authority and are positions for ministers to retire from, and many ministers will be arranged to serve in Nanjing if they are demoted or excluded.

Nanjing does not have three divisions, namely, the Department of Administration, the Department of Judges, and the Department of Command, and the functions and powers performed by the three divisions were originally carried out by the six departments of Nanjing, of which the Nanjing Household Department and the Nanjing Military Department had the heaviest powers.

The household department is responsible for the collection of taxes and grains in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huguang provinces, and the taxes and grains paid in these four places account for almost half of the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

The military department was responsible for the garrison in the Nanjing area, and the forty-nine guard posts in the Nanjing area were all under the command of Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department. The secretary of the Nanjing Military Department generally holds the title of "Counselor and Aircraft Maintenance", and jointly manages the military affairs of the Ministry of Nanjing together with the eunuchs of the town guard and the commanders of the Nanjing garrison. In fact, the real backbone of the Nanjing Guard Army will always be the Duke of Wei in the past dynasties, and the coordination of the officers and soldiers in Nanjing must also be counted by Wei Guogong's public eloquence.

When the guard of honor of the Qincha first arrived outside the city of Nanjing, the ministers of the six ministries and the nobles of Nanjing had been waiting outside the city for a long time, which did not show how much face Cao Wei had, but because the Qincha represented the emperor.

Cao Wei's errand is not over yet, so these ministers have to be respectful, but once Cao Wei hands over the errand, it will be a junior, and they can kick as much as they want!

"Nanjing Hubu Shangshu Fang Jielin led Nanjing Wenwu to greet Lord Qincha!"

Cao Wei walked out of the carriage, stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Fang is polite, this official is from Nanjing, and now he is just going back to his hometown to take a look at the excuse of going out on patrol, so my lord doesn't need to be polite."

In fact, most of the officials Cao Wei standing in the city gate tower did not know him, firstly because he had not served in Nanjing for a long time, and secondly, because this group of civil officials disliked him as a military attache and did not want to bird him.

Don't look at so many officials from the six ministries coming to greet them, in fact, whether they are happy or not is still two words. Compared with these civil officials, Cao Wei prefers the hereditary nobles who stand on the side, and he has already seen Zhao Chengqing, the eldest son of the Wujing family, who is standing behind the crowd and squeezing his eyebrows at him.

Regardless of whether Cao Wei is a military attache or not, this humble attitude still makes the officials of the Sixth Department very satisfied. Fang Jielin stroked his head and said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, the lord is a messenger, and all departments in Nanjing must pay tribute to the lord."

Cao Wei exchanged a few more words with the ministers, and then got into the carriage, the honor guard slowly entered the city, and the civil and military officials stepped aside to send them off.

After the officials at the city gate dispersed, Zhao Chengqing, Guo Deng and other Nanjing nobles who followed behind the honor guard stepped forward to laugh with Cao Wei. These people did not estranged themselves from Cao Wei because of his identity change, and several people made an appointment to set up a banquet in Baihualou on another day and drink flower wine together.

Arrived at Cao Mansion in the north of the city. The servant at the door was overjoyed to see the old master returning, and hurriedly ran into the mansion to tell the new master.

The new master is Xu Pengju, since Cao Wei went to Beijing to take up his post, Xu Xiaogong occupied the magpie's nest and moved into Cao's Mansion with his new wife Xia Jingchu.

When Xu Peng went out and saw Cao Wei, he put on the momentum of the master's house, and arched his hand: "Oh, there are guests from afar, it's really brilliant...... Hey, how do you kick people! ”

Cao Wei kicked his feet hard again and said, "Peng's fart, this was originally my house, and I really think I am the master when I borrow you to live for two days?"

Xu Pengju rubbed his legs and said, "My father said that it is impossible for you to go back to Nanjing to be an official after you go to Beijing, so let me hurry up and live here to save others cheap."

Cao Wei was silent for a moment and said, "The old man will really teach his son ......"

“…… My dad also said that you should go and see him tonight, otherwise I won't be able to kill you! ”

“…………”

Old man Xu spoke, Cao Wei didn't dare not listen, don't look at him as a minister, in this Nanjing's one-acre and three-point land, even if the emperor comes, it is not good. Old man Xu said that he would let Cao Wei go to see him, so Cao Wei would have to go to visit him.

The house has not changed much before leaving, the fruit trees planted before are a little bigger, and at the beginning of the new year, the fruit trees begin to bear buds, which looks very gratifying.

Xia Jingchu stepped forward to greet Cao Wei, she was a little shy when she was a new wife, and said, "The distinguished guest comes to the door, but you have to stay for two more days!"

Cao Wei was speechless for a while, turned his head to look at Xu Pengju who was standing aside and laughing, and muttered to himself: "Who is this special family......
