Chapter 703: Moving the Capital

Chengguan is already in an emergency, if you don't leave at this time, do you want to stay and wait for death!?

The eighth prince's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ai Concubine, you can't be confused. ”

Concubine Yu shook her head lightly, and said a little lonely: "The concubine is used to being here, and she doesn't want to be displaced anymore, so let's go." ”

"Aifei!" The eighth prince said in a hurry.

Concubine Yu was silent and stopped talking, just sat on the dresser and slowly combed her hair.

Seeing this, the eighth prince stomped his feet fiercely, and then said: "Concubine Ai, don't think nonsense, you hurry up and pack your bags, I will pick you up tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he also turned around and walked out of the Jade Concubine's room, because he was very busy right now and had a lot to do.

And the first thing he had to do was to empty the treasury, and under his orders, the palace guards began to load countless gold, silver and jade into carts.

The land of Chu is rich, the treasury is piled up with gold and silver, plus all kinds of treasures and precious calligraphy and paintings, pottery and so on in the palace, this move, is a whole day.

When it came to the morning of the next day, hundreds of officials went to the court, looking at the palace guards who were still busy shuttling, and the carload of treasures, people looked at each other, and some officials couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said: "Hey, this is to move the capital......

"The capital has not yet been breached, if the king himself goes to the city pass to encourage the soldiers, maybe he can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, but this is ......," another official said.

People talked as they walked, and after entering the court hall, the eighth prince also walked to the throne.

"The ministers knock on the king, my king will be ten thousand years" The ministers knelt on the ground and saluted, chanting in unison.

"Let's all be flat." The eighth prince said casually, and then sat down on the king's chair.

"King Xie." People got up one after another, in fact, in the hearts of the ministers of Chu, there was no emotion of losing the country, because this was a struggle for the throne of Chu, whether it was the eighth prince or the prince of Chu, it was the monarch of Chu.

Of course, with the current situation, more ministers are actually inclined to support Prince Chu in their hearts, but now that the government is still in the hands of the eighth prince, people dare to think but dare not say it.

In this court discussion, without waiting for the ministers to speak, after the eighth prince sat down, he said straight to the point: "This king's intention, move the capital on the same day, and all civil and military officials will set the capital in Dongyang with this king." ”

The Dongyang in his mouth is Dongyang County of Chu State, located behind the capital, close to Qingdi, but in terms of the geography of Chu State, it is a remote place.

You must know that Chu is not a small country, for hundreds of years, the country will abandon it, and it will move the capital to a small county, which is really ridiculous! When people heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then, a minister came out and said: "King, Chuzhou has been the capital of our country for hundreds of years, and it can't be easily moved!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another minister came out and said: "Yes, king, moving the capital is not a trivial matter, not to mention that Dongyang is a small county, it is really a poor and remote place, how can you move the capital here......

"The king, the tomb of the king of Zongmiao, all in Chuzhou, the foundation of my Chu country is also here, don't move it......"

"Please think twice about the king"

Seeing this, the eighth prince couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, he slapped the case of the king in front of him, and then stood up, pointed to the ministers below and shouted: "You wait for Hugh to talk nonsense!" Moving the capital to Dongyang is the great plan of the Chu State! It's something that this king has been thinking about for a long time! ”

"King!" Another minister said urgently.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the eighth prince had already scolded coldly: "Shut up! Although Dongyang is small, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack! It is also an excellent place for feng shui, what temples and royal tombs, the foundation of the country, all moved to Dongyang! ”

What the!? Hearing this, all the people knelt on the ground at once, and said in unison, "Think twice, the king."

"Think twice, the traitors have already hit the capital! If you don't move the capital again! Do you want this king to die here!? The eighth prince said sharply, and after he finished speaking, he glanced around with cold eyes again, and snorted: "Hmph! If you obstruct it in every way, you won't be a thief! ”

Ah! As soon as he said this, all the ministers below couldn't help but be startled, now if anyone admits Prince Chu in front of the eighth prince, then I am afraid that they will be ruined immediately!

People didn't dare to say anything more, and when the eighth prince saw this, he snorted coldly again, and then waved his sleeve robe, and said unhappily: "Wait for you to go home quickly to clean up the softness, prepare to move the capital, and retreat!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he also left directly, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded ministers.

After people got up, it was inevitable that there would be another sigh.

In the afternoon of the same day, the east gate of Chuzhou.

The carts of gold and silver treasures had already left the palace, and they were escorted by a large number of guards and began to be transported to the east gate, which naturally had an army guarding the city gate.

The name of the officer in charge of guarding the east gate is Xiao Long, and he has already received the royal order of the eighth prince, but when the cart of gold and silver has not yet arrived here, the prime minister of Chu State Changshi came over in advance.

Xiao Long is also the core general of the Chu State, although the level is not too high, but he can know Prime Minister Changshi, and after seeing him, Xiao Long also hugged his fists and said: "Lord Changshi, why are you here?" ”

Prime Minister Changshi bowed back slightly, and then stepped into the main topic and said: "General Xiao, do you know that the king is already preparing to move the capital." ”

"The last general has heard of this, and he has already received the king's order, so he is waiting here." Xiao Long said.

Prime Minister Changshi said: "Did the general receive an order for you to escort gold and silver to Dongyang County?" ”

"Exactly." Xiao Long returned.

"Oops!" Hearing this, Prime Minister Changshi couldn't help but be anxious, he pulled Xiao Long aside, and said in a low voice: "General Xiao, the king wants to move the capital to Dongyang, this matter is not trivial, and Chuzhou is the capital of our country for hundreds of years, and it is the foundation of the country, how can you act rashly!" ”

What he said actually didn't mean much to a general, and Xiao Long said helplessly: "These national affairs are beyond my ability to intervene as a martial artist, and it's useless for Lord Changshi to say these things to the last general." ”

"General Xiao!" Prime Minister Changshi hurriedly said: "The gold and silver in the treasury are accumulated by my Chu State for many years!" It is the lifeblood of the country! Once it is transported to Dongyang County, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be plundered by Qingguo, once this is the case, then my Chu Kingdom will be finished! ”

"This ......"

"The general thinks about it himself, is it right or wrong to move the capital to Dongyang!" Prime Minister Changshi continued.

"......"

"Oh, what else is it that can't be, does the general want to be the sinner of my Chu country!" Prime Minister Changshi said sharply.

As soon as he said this, Xiao Long couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, the sinner of the country, this is not a joke, especially for a general.
