Yun Xi came to the Jinshen Palace, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites had not yet arrived at this time, and there were only Yunxi's subordinate officials in the Jinshen Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When they saw Yun Xi, they immediately knelt down and saluted and said, "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Yun Xi called himself me in the harem in order to deter the harem people and his uncles and brothers, but he didn't have to do this in front of these cronies, so he said: "Gu has not yet ascended the throne, so wait until he ascends the throne and then call Gu His Majesty." ”

But Chen Xingshan said: "Your Majesty, the ceremony cannot be abolished. Although His Majesty has not yet officially ascended the throne, the first emperor has collapsed, and His Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Others chimed in. Nonsense, who would dare not go along with it? Isn't that self-procuring?

Yun Xi was not very insistent, so he accepted it. And then what he was going to say was something very important.

Yun Xi said: "Chen Qing, I have ordered you to concurrently serve as a cabinet bachelor, majoring in "Taizu Records". ”

The cabinet has been around for a long time, but it was only an advisory body at the beginning, and in fact it was just a sublimated version of the Hanlin Academy. The so-called bachelor is just a fifth-grade official, and he can't see the demeanor of the later half of the prime minister at all. The other half is the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant.

Majoring in "Actual Records" is not like later, symbolizing a great future for development. However, the revision of the "Actual Record" still proves that the emperor trusts you more, so everyone congratulates Chen Xingshan in their hearts. Chen Xingshan himself bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he continued: "Then, Your Majesty has already decided to set the temple name of Emperor Daxing as Taizu?" ”

Yun Xi said, "Yes." "There are only two temple numbers for the founding emperor, but there is nothing to fight about. And in history, Lao Zhu is Taizu.

Yun Xi thought of Lao Zhu, and couldn't stop shedding tears. He hurriedly raised his head, wiped it with his handkerchief again, and waited until it was no longer flowing before lowering his head.

Chen Xingshan, Zhuo Jing, Yang Ren and others below saw Yun Xi crying, and they all thought in their hearts: "Your Majesty can't stop crying when he mentions Emperor Daxing, but it's really filial." ”

Then Yun Xi said: "Taizu with the wisdom of the gods, with the ambition of helping the world and the people, taking advantage of the time, heroic Jingcong, destroying the chaos, fifteen years to become the emperor's industry." Rise cloth, dying Haiyu, the Three Emperors have not been there since then! And can be courteous to the elderly, test the rites and set music, reveal the scriptures, respect the righteousness, add grace to win the country, and clarify the rule of officials. ”

"In the name of the harem, the internal governance is purged, the eunuchs are forbidden to interfere in politics, the official positions of the five governments and six ministries are maintained, and the guards are placed in Tuntian, and the soldiers and food are sufficient. Wuding is in turmoil, Wen Zhi is peaceful, and Taizu is really both. As for the Yashanzhi Festival, listen to Cai Ziying's return to the north. In his later years, he was worried about the people, and he tried to spend tens of thousands of dollars on the river and Tangyan at the age of one year to benefit agriculture and prepare for drought. It is unattainable for the Han, Tang and Song monarchs! And who can compare it? ”

Yun Xi couldn't help crying as she spoke. Chen Xingshan didn't understand what Yun Xi's purpose was in saying this, so he had to ask, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" ”

Yun Xi did not answer. It was still Qin Song who was smart, he secretly tugged on Chen Xingshan's clothes, and after Chen Xingshan turned around, he whispered: "This is for you to add to the last of the record, a compliment to His Majesty Taizu." ”

Chen Xingshan immediately said: "This, this, this, how can a successor emperor write this to the first emperor?" Besides, this is really too much praise, at least the ancestors of the Western Han Dynasty were born as commoners. Besides, how can it be compared with the Three Emperors in the actual record? ”

Qin Song said in a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "If you don't say it, let's not say it, who knows what Your Majesty meant?" In addition, how did Henkel come from a civilian background like Taizu of this dynasty? Han Gao was first the pavilion chief of the Qin State, and then raised an army against Qin, and after the destruction of Qin, he was able to be crowned the king of Hanzhong, Zhenba, Shu, and Hanzhong. After avenging Emperor Yi and destroying Xiang Yu, and then becoming the emperor under the unanimous recommendation of the kings, how could he be a commoner? As for the last one comparing Lao Zhu and the Three Emperors in the actual record, Qin Song really couldn't refute it, so he could only say it.

But Chen Xingshan still looked at Qin Song, and a big question mark appeared in his heart: 'Is this okay?' ’

Qin Song saw that Chen Xingshan still didn't accept it, and he was anxious. Unexpectedly, Chen Xingshan said to himself: "Okay then." "Although he is upright, he has been in officialdom for a long time, and he knows that he has to compromise when he should compromise.

At this time, Yun Xi said: "It doesn't have to be like this, this is what I mean, there is no need to hide it." ”

Yun Xi stood up and continued: "Taizu's merits are very good, can't you not be praised like this?" ”

Because the 'praise' listed at the end generally focuses on describing the merits, downplaying or even not writing about the faults, so it doesn't hurt to write this praise, except for the sentence 'There is nothing after the Three Emperors!'" Some of them are too late, and Lao Zhu is directly compared with the three emperors of Yao Shunyu, except that no emperor has done this before, and the others are more in line with the facts.

But Chen Xingshan still said: "It is okay to write this praise in the "Taizu Record", but it must not come out of Your Majesty's mouth, this is in the way of Your Majesty's reputation, I am afraid that there will be people who will use this to criticize Your Majesty after a thousand years." ”

Yun Xi really wanted to say to him: 'In less than 500 years, China's analysis of the emperor will change dramatically, and no one will care about this by then.'" But Yun Xi still accepted Chen Xingshan's kindness and said, "I know. ”

The matter was settled. Yun Xi saw that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had not yet come, and said another thing: "Do you think the current capital is suitable for the capital?" ”

Yes, Yun Xi has a little idea of moving the capital.

However, Yunxi will definitely not move the capital to Beiping, because Beiping is not suitable for the capital now.

Some historians of later generations say that the law of China since the Song Dynasty is that the political center has shifted northward and the economic center has moved southward. But the shift of the economic center to the south is a natural occurrence, and the shift of the political center to the north is an unexpected event.

Let's take a look at the four countries that successively set their capitals in Beiping: Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. Among them, Jin, Yuan, and Qing are all foreign regimes, and the reason why they set the capital of Beiping is very simple, it is very close to their lair, in case the Han people can escape, the Mengyuan regime will escape back to Mobei with this. It's not that Jin Heqing doesn't want to flee back, it's just that the trouble they encountered is not, or rather, not all Han rebellions, so they didn't take advantage of it, and it's not that they don't have this idea.

The Ming Dynasty was more special, he moved the capital to Beiping after Zhu Di's successful rebellion. Two important reasons for rational analysis of Zhu Di's relocation of the capital are: 1. He was accustomed to life in the north; 2. Lao Zhu crowned Zhu Di as the king of Yan before his death and asked him to guard the border, which is his responsibility. He didn't dare to violate this responsibility, and he didn't worry that others were guarding the frontier here with heavy troops, so he continued to guard the frontier himself after becoming the emperor, so he moved the capital to Beiping.

This shatters the argument that the capital of Beiping is a political law.

In addition, the natural conditions of Peking at this time were not suitable for the capital. First, there was a shortage of grain in Beiping, and it was necessary to transfer grain from the south of the Yangtze River in history, which caused a great burden to the Ming Dynasty. Any action of the government in an agrarian society will cause a great burden on the people.

Second, there is a shortage of water in Beiping. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was not obvious, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the groundwater in Beiping City was very little and not good to drink and unhealthy, and all people with a little status ate the water picked up from outside the city. At this time, the northern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was forced to use a large number of locks in order to ensure navigation, and it was impossible to transfer water from the south. Yun Xi saw a source when he was still in later generations, saying that in 2014, Emperor Daxing and Emperor Daxing in Beiping were on the verge of breaking the river.

So Beiping is not suitable for the capital. Yunxi felt that the current capital was much more suitable than Beiping.

Yunxi's own relative preference is Xuzhou. Xuzhou is located in the middle line of the north and south of China in the later generations, not far from the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no shortage of water in Weishan Lake nearby, which is one of the few places in the north that is not short of water. As for Xuzhou, where there was no dynasty before, then Liu Xiu's capital Luoyang had no national capital before Luoyang? Didn't it also create a 200-year history of the Later Han Dynasty?

However, Yun Xi did not make up his mind to move the capital, so he discussed it with his cronies.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xingshan said: "Isn't Your Majesty going to open the sea? ”

Yun Xi also said suspiciously: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Xingshan said: "The current capital is close to the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River leads directly to the sea, and it is also very close to Shanghu County, if there is any problem, it can be dealt with quickly." If the capital is moved to another place, how can you know quickly if something happens in Jiangnan? ”

Chen Xingshan's words woke up Yun Xi! Where is the capital, in this situation where transportation and communication are very underdeveloped, in fact, it is related to the country's policy! After Zhao Gou could not escape, why did he take Hangzhou as his line instead of Jingzhou, Wuchang and other places? None of these places have ever been the capital! A very important reason is that the financial revenue of the Great Song Dynasty is very dependent on commercial taxes and customs duties, and the fixed line can be seen nearby in Hangzhou.

According to the experience of later generations, Yun Xi has decided to focus on the development of sea power, and find another way to deal with it in the northwest inland, so he can only set the capital in the Jiangnan area, and cannot move the capital to other places, and the most suitable place in the south of the Yangtze River is Nanjing. Thinking about it along this line, even moving the capital to Xuzhou is a bit far away.

On the other hand, if land power is to be developed, it is necessary to set the capital in Xi'an, after all, Xi'an still has the Wei River, and there is still a little more water.

Is it that Lao Zhu also saw the location advantage of Jiangnan in the future, so he set the capital to be the current capital, instead of Kaifeng, where he once wanted to make the capital? Yun Xi thought.

Yun Xi, who understood it, raised his head and said to Chen Xingshan: "Chen Qing, thank you for waking me up all of a sudden, I want to thank you." ”

Then he glanced at all the subordinate officials and said, "There is no need to discuss the matter of moving the capital, I have already decided not to move the capital again." ”

Qin Song and Yang Ren breathed a sigh of relief. They don't know what Yun Xi means, and they don't dare to ask, and they are afraid that they will think in the wrong direction, although Yun Xi is very approachable, and they should not be punished because they think wrong, but it is still not good.

At this time, the eunuch guarding outside walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the people from the Ministry of Rites have arrived, do you want to announce their entry?" ”

Yun Xi said, "They've arrived? Announce them in at once! ”
