Chapter 844: Officially Moved the Capital

The Royal Wharf is different from the Min Wharf where Cao Yun and the others arrived last time, the Min Wharf is the East Moat Wharf, and the Royal Wharf is the Phoenix Mountain Wharf on the south side of the West Lake, and you can enter the Phoenix Mountain Palace after getting off the wharf.

At this time, the wharf was full of soldiers, and the guards were very tight, and Li Yanqing and the officials were already waiting on the wharf.

"Captain, the fleet is coming!"

Wei Jin, who had just officially turned into the Shaoyin of Lin'an Mansion, pointed to the distance and shouted.

A fleet of ships appeared in the mist miles away, and the fleet they had been waiting for for finally arrived.

Although the imperial court transferred a lot of thousands of stones, tens of thousands of stone from the southeast coast of the sea ships, but in fact, they only used three thousand stone cargo ships for their largest business, and the relocation of the capital began to prepare last year, but at that time it was not to move the capital, but to avoid the golden soldiers, countless wealth items in the palace were packed into boxes, and tens of thousands of large boxes have been piled up in the palace.

This time the capital was moved to Lin'anfu, the ships alone were enough to mobilize for more than a month, more than 2,000 thousand stone cargo ships loaded with various palace items, and more than 600 thousand stone passenger ships, full of civil and military officials and their families, as well as more than 3,000 royal palace people and the forbidden army in front of the palace, among which Zhao Gou's ship is a new passenger ship of 3,000 stones, gorgeously decorated, plus a dragon head, it can be regarded as a dragon boat, which is incomparable with the gorgeous and magnificent Jiangnan of Emperor Yang of Sui.

However, this time, the 2,600 big ships had to go again, and they had to transport the mountains of documents and files piled up by the imperial court, which was the accumulation of more than 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Yanqing The first thing they saw was not a dragon boat, but nearly a hundred guards of the vanguard boat, when the ship docked, a team of guards rushed ashore, a total of 4,000 people in front of the palace on duty forbidden army, the ban on duty is equivalent to the emperor's guards, it is the highest status in the forbidden army, directly guarding the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven.

Below the ban army on duty is the iron cavalry, the sun, the god guard, the dragon guard four armies, also known as the four armies, is the periphery of the forbidden army guarding the palace, the ban on duty in Tokyo and the four armies were taken away by the emperor Zhao Ji, and later all perished under the iron hooves of the golden soldiers.

After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he re-established the Ban Duty Forbidden Army and the Upper Fourth Army, and in the Battle of Tokyo, the 20,000 forbidden army led by Wang Daoqi was the Upper Fourth Army.

This time the south moved to Lin'an Mansion, and the 20,000 Shang Fourth Army led by the main general Gao Jianquan had already entered Lin'an City and took over the defense of Lin'an.

At this time, Wang Yuan, the deputy commander of the palace and the general of the left guard, stepped forward to salute Li Yanqing with a fist: "According to the usual practice, now the lowly position will take over the dock and the palace guards, please forgive Li Taibao!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "I completely understand, General Wang, please feel free!" ”

Wang Yuan nodded, and ordered the commander Miao Fu to lead two thousand troops to the palace one step ahead to defend the palace in various palace key places, and he ordered the commander Liu Zhengyan to lead two thousand people to take over the scope of the dock, and Li Yanqing's two thousand Jing Zhao troops all withdrew from the royal dock.

After being busy for nearly an hour, the four thousand palace guards on duty finally arrived, and at this time, dozens of soldiers shot gunpowder arrows into the sky, and gunpowder arrows crackled in the air! It exploded, and not long after, the fleet reappeared in Nanxi Lake, and the first three-thousand-stone boat was the dragon boat on which the Son of Heaven Zhao Gou and the Empress were riding.

The big ship slowly docked, stopped the boat, boarded the boat, and a eunuch carefully helped Zhao Gou to the shore, at this time, Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Weichen Li Yanqing welcomes His Majesty to Qiantang!" ”

A smile bloomed on Zhao Gou's face, "It's really hard for the Taibao to conquer Jiangnan and stabilize the new capital this month!" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "It's just a group of ghosts, don't worry!" ”

At this time, Empress Xing also went ashore, and Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted, "Weichen see the queen mother!" ”

Empress Xing smiled slightly, "When I settle down a little, I will personally preside over the marriage of Emperor Ji and Taibao." ”

"Thank you, Queen!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly arranged for Long Ran and Feng Ran to send Zhao Gou and the Empress to the palace, at this time, the Empress Dowager Zheng and Empress Zhu also got off the boat, they also went to the harem, three thousand palace maids and concubines, eunuchs and others also got off the boat, according to their respective ranks, or by car, or on foot, along the winding Phoenix Mountain Road to the palace.

........

Of course, the main building of the imperial city cannot be built on the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain, but the imperial city includes the Phoenix Mountain, and has built a lot of pavilions and pavilions to enjoy the scenery on the mountain, as the living and living of the Son of Heaven, that is, the palace city, is located in the middle of the imperial city, covering an area of about 50 hectares, surrounded by palace walls.

There are several groups of large palaces in the interior, such as the Qinzheng Hall and the Funing Hall of the Son of Heaven's Sleeping Palace, the Cining Hall and the Ciming Hall are the palaces where the Empress Dowager Zheng and the Empress Zhu live, and then there are several palaces such as the Renming Hall and the Ciyuan Hall for the queen and concubines to live in, and the East Palace is not needed for the time being, so it is not built.

In addition to the palace, the hall, the pavilion, the Zhai, the building, the platform, the Xuan, the view, the pavilion, are dotted all over the place, which is also limited by the topography of the Phoenix Mountain, the luxury of the emperor's residence is not manifested in the palace, but more in the garden, all kinds of flower terraces and water pavilions, all kinds of small bridges and flowing water, the architectural level of the Great Song Dynasty is vividly reflected here, so that the palace is built like a fairyland.

However, compared with the imperial palace in Bianliang, Tokyo, the imperial palace in Lin'an is relatively simple, and the inner palace is relatively small, and the three thousand palace maids and one thousand eunuchs live in it, which is slightly crowded, but Zhao Gou promised that after moving the capital, two thousand palace maids and five hundred eunuchs will be released to return to their hometowns, and Ouchi will be much more comfortable.

The provinces of the imperial city, the temple, the Taiwan are relatively simple, located in the east of the inner hall, all the temples are readily available, the main gate of the imperial city is the main gate of Li, the main gate of Li is richly decorated, the door is vermilion, decorated with gold nails, the roof is copper tile, the pattern of the dragon and phoenix Tianma is engraved, the light is dazzling from afar, and the city tower of the main gate of Li is the place where the Son of Heaven holds the amnesty, there is a square in the middle, the palace directly opposite the square is the main hall, also known as the Chongzheng Palace, it is the place where the ceremony and the great court meeting are held.

Speaking of which, Zhao Gou was a relatively diligent emperor, and on the third day of moving into the palace, he held his first great court and officially announced the relocation of the capital to Lin'an.

The dynasty is not long, it is over in just half an hour, it is a very low-key opening dynasty, and it is indeed not high-profile, the soldiers are not as good as people, from the Central Plains to the southeast, the people of the world are not good to say anything, but their hearts are bright! Just like what the Son of Heaven said in his opening speech, we must make great efforts to make the country prosperous, and be ready to go on a northern expedition at any time to recover the lost territory.

Although it was the third day of entering the official office, each official office was a mess, and there were thousands of things that needed to be sorted out, all kinds of documents and files were still piled up in Tokyo and had not yet been shipped, and the state officials had not yet had time to sit in the capital, so that the imperial court and the local state government were disconnected, and more importantly, the small officials who were doing things had not yet arrived.

There were only a few hundred officials who followed Zhao Gou to Lin'an, but the imperial court could not be operated by a few hundred people, and there were tens of thousands of marching officials stationed in the capital in various states alone, who were responsible for the connection between the imperial court and the local government, and there were tens of thousands of small officials, who were responsible for all aspects of specific affairs.

The court officials just use their mouths and pens, but they do things with a large number of people who have no official qualities, just like Liu Fang, who has been promoted to the general judgment of Ezhou, and was also a small official of the Yushitai in the past.

Li Yanqing's main position is the boss of the Privy Council, and he knows the affairs of the Privy Council, but he is only a nominal official who knows the affairs of the Privy Council, and the knowledge of the Privy Council is actually one of the ministers, which is equivalent to participating in the governor's affairs, but although Li Yanqing has the right to participate in the deliberations of the Privy Council, he does not have the decision-making power and voting power of the ministers, and this position is actually quite embarrassing, regardless of the facts.

Li Yanqing was about to go to the Privy Council, when a eunuch hurriedly ran over and said with a flattering smile: "Li Taibao, the official family invites you to come over." ”

"The official family is now in the imperial study?"

"Exactly! A few Xiangguo are also there. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of the imperial study, Zhao Gou's imperial study is in the vertical arch hall, the vertical arch hall is the place where the Son of Heaven summoned the minister, the hall is not big, but the corridor is very long, all the way to the Daqing Palace.

Li Yanqing walked into the imperial study, outside the imperial study is a small meeting room, the layout is very simple, there is only a long sandalwood table, there are more than a dozen chairs around it, I saw five Xiangguo sitting on both sides of the table, but Cai Jing was not seen, everyone was silent, Fan Zhixu saw Li Yanqing come in, so he gave him a look and asked him to sit down.

Li Yanqing sat down next to Fan Zhixu, he didn't seem to be particular, he sat casually, Fan Zhixu was the left minister, and he didn't see him sitting on the first on the left, but Xu Churen sat on the first seat on the left, he glanced at Li Yanqing a little weakly, and quickly lowered his head, I don't know what he was thinking?

Li Yanqing ignored him, but asked Fan Zhixu in a low voice, "Zuo Xiang, what's wrong?" ”

Fan Zhixu sighed, "I'm afraid Cai Xianggong can't do it." ”

Li Yanqing was taken aback, he was fine when he got off the boat the day before yesterday, and he made a joke about the emperor with himself, why didn't he work in just two or three days, no wonder the dynasty didn't see him today.

Gao Shen next to him shook his head and said, "After all, he is eighty years old, and if he is not careful, he will ...... He was tired of taking the boat south this time, and the wind blew in the West Lake at noon yesterday, but it didn't work at night, and he shook his head after changing a few imperial doctors, saying that it would take three or four days at most. ”

Li Yanqing believes that they are not sitting here to discuss Cai Jing's condition, but Cai Jing's position, which is about to change appearances, Cai Jing is also a tragedy, and it will come to an end in less than two months after the new dynasty minister.
