Knock, knock!

With the sound of bells and drums, the sun rose at more than five o'clock in the morning, and the officials in the capital of Daming knew that it was estimated that something big was going to happen.

This is a posture that can only be used when holding a grand court meeting, and it hasn't been used for many years?

For a while, all the officials did not dare to slow down, and they all gathered towards one place, that is, the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City.

On the way, the expressions on everyone's faces were different, and no one was talking to each other, their eyes were straight, and their heads were straight. It's just that the brows are locked!

Some people went to the place, asked the eunuchs for a question or two, and took some red envelopes out.

As a result, a notice was given, saying that few eunuchs knew, and it was estimated that only the emperor and a few imperial concubines knew.

"When the time comes, hundreds of officials will enter the court!" The eunuch roared.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! There were also eunuchs honking their horns and small cannons on the side, and even Yu Jinyiwei pulled a few elephants out, which was a terrible posture.

Many people know that the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty are very stylish, and they have the right to directly pull people to prison at the emperor's instructions.

But I don't know, Jinyiwei also has a hard job, which is to raise elephants, right?

Hee-hee!

Jin Yiwei has many responsibilities, and the "secret agent" is just one of them. In addition to patrolling, Jinyiwei has to do a lot of various things, what are they? Let's just name a few.

The first is "straight driving, guards", that is, whenever the emperor goes to the court, or the court wants to hold various ceremonies and ceremonies, the brocade guards must prepare a "halo book honor guard" to guard by the side.

There are many such occasions, such as the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, suburban rituals, sacrificing to the Taimiao, sutra feasts (the emperor listens to the lectures of ministers), and the palace examination of the imperial examination...... All of them have to be in charge of the honor guard work, and they can't stop being busy all year round.

Secondly, Jin Yiwei also had to "repair the streets and dredge the ditches" in Beijing, which was a hard job. Equivalent to a cleaner!

There is also a rather embarrassing task, which is to search for people in the capital who have cleaned themselves without permission.

Because of the high remuneration of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, many people squeezed their heads and wanted to be eunuchs at any time in the palace. But the problem is that the number of places is limited, and those who have already been purified and cannot become eunuchs will disrupt the order of the capital.

Therefore, the Jinyi guards must be strictly searched, but if they are caught, "they will be put in a shackle for a month, beaten a hundred, and escorted back to their hometown."

On top of that, there is another task that may surprise many people: raising elephants!

It's like now Jinyiwei has pulled a few elephants into the palace.

This is because, in the Ming Dynasty, elephants were an indispensable animal in various ceremonies. It often appears in some large-scale events of the imperial court, "with spectacular views".

(A few hundred years ago, unlike in the modern 21st century, elephants were found only in some places on the border, but there were elephants in the mountains and forests.) ）

During the national ceremony, hundreds of elephants are used at most, so the number of elephants that Jinyiwei usually raises can be imagined. What's the difference between this and a copycat animal keeper?

In addition, in various TV series, no matter when and where, Jinyiwei always wears a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife at the waist. Brightly dressed and uniform, the scene is spectacular, but in fact, this outfit is not for everyone.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the flying fish suit can only be worn by the emperor.

Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to have a share in Jinyiwei, generally speaking, only Jinyiwei's "Tang Shangguan" can wear it. Other brocade guards, even if they have honor guard tasks, can only wear clothes such as "red silk saro clothes" and "green brocade clothes", and are not allowed to wear flying fish suits.

Therefore, in some books or movies, all the brocade guards usually wear flying fish suits, which is purely a joke for you.

"The emperor has arrived!"

As the hundred officials entered, the eunuch roared again.

In the next minute, in the midst of the hundred officials bending down and bowing their heads, Zhu Zilong slowly walked into the main hall of the Imperial Palace, and the sound of ceremonial music suddenly sounded in the palace.

Then there were the officials, the old-fashioned ones bowed to Zhu Zilong three times and kowtowed, shouting in their mouths: "My emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

"Flat."

Zhu Zilong waved his hand lightly, and said that he liked to say these two words the most, and he felt that he was more pretending to be than before.

Baiguan raised his head and was stunned on the spot.

Because he saw the costume of Zhu Zilong, the copycat Emperor of the Apocalypse, he did not wear a regular dress today, but wore a crown robe, with a flat crown on his head, and a sword at his waist, which looked heroic.

The emperor's regular clothes are similar to casual clothes, but they also have the appearance of a golden dragon pattern.

The emperor's crown dress is different, with a crown, a black robe, a silk robe, a white Luo belt, a yellow knees, a plain yarn in the middle, and a red shirt. It is a dress worn by ancient emperors for major ceremonies! (It's similar to the special dresses and high-end suits worn by modern people!) ）

Usually, the emperor basically does not wear it, and only wears it on occasions when there is a big event.

(Note: The Qing Dynasty was the only dynasty in Chinese history to completely abolish the crown dress system, and the ethnic minorities were just uneducated, which is terrible.) ）

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are a few major things to be decided in today's court, so if anyone has something to do, you can play it before that. Don't miss the right thing! Zhu Zilong whispered, but his voice was still very clear under the amplification of the palace.

In the middle of the night, the hall was still quiet, and no one spoke.

These ministers are not stupid, the emperor put on such a big battle, it is obvious that he wants to deal with big things, and he should write an excerpt and hand it over to those small things of his own. No one wants to make a head bird, for fear of being boiled by the emperor.

"Since all the Aiqing are fine, then I will say it!" Zhu Zilong glanced in all directions below, and opened his mouth majestically and said: "I have two things to discuss, the first is that the heavens and the ancestors warn that they should immediately let the people of Lingqiu County, Shanxi Province move away to avoid a great natural disaster." The second thing is that I want to move the capital to Nanjing! ”

Rumble!

After listening to the emperor's words, the officials were immediately stunned for a while, and even their pupils dilated.

Moving the capital?

Is Jingran moving the capital to Nanjing?

How is this possible? How is this allowed? How does this make sense? How is this!

"Your Majesty, please think again." The official of the Ministry of Rites and his subordinates were the first to kneel to the ground with pale faces and sweat: "Nanjing is a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, which is not conducive to controlling the situation in the north. Easily moving the capital is afraid of hurting the country! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The ancestral Son of Heaven is on the side, how can he go against the grain? Dozens of speech officials also stood up to speak as Zhu Zilong expected.

Several Donglin Party ministers glanced at each other, and also stood up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Nanjing is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is in an unfavorable geographical position in terms of military defense. Moreover, Taizu once said that the north is the land of Longxing. Mo Ran is afraid that moving the capital will be unfavorable to the country! ”

More and more ministers are standing up against it. Zhu Zilong didn't say anything, just sneered non-stop!

Admittedly, there is some truth in what they say.

But why did the Ming Dynasty move its capital from Nanjing to what is now Beijing? It's not what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, but his son just made his own opinion.

After Zhu Wuzhang established the capital of Nanjing, the south became a political and economic center. Zhu Di has guarded Beiping for many years, and his father's forces are different, focusing on the north. The main reason for this is that Zhu Di's personal feelings are many. He has lived in Beiping for a long time and has a deep affection for Beiping!

In addition, in those years, it must have been able to resist the southern attack of the Mongols more effectively. To further control the northeast region and maintain the unity of the whole country, it was only moved over at the right time, in the right place!

But, that's all the old yellow calendar.

The current Ming Dynasty emperors have changed one term after another, and the situation has long been different from one or two hundred years ago.

Just like China's national conditions and economy in 2015, you can't compare it with 1949, when New China was first founded.

Because, these are two different periods!
