He is the master of Beijing, and the residence of the Son of Heaven is also. Jing Zhe Ho, Da Ye.

The teacher is he, and the public is also.

When later generations mention the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they will answer "Yanjing" without thinking, but in fact, this answer is wrong. In fact, in the nearly 300-year history of Ariake, the officially recognized capital has always been Nanjing.

In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was proclaimed emperor, and the selection of the national capital became a top priority. At that time, Ming Taizu considered two places. One is Nanjing, Nanjing is Yanjing City of the Six Dynasties, rich in products, steep terrain, it is indeed a good place. The other is Luoyang, Luoyang is the heart of the Central Plains, and the capital can control the entire Central Plains region. Of course, he also considered his hometown Fengyang, but this place is too remote to be the capital, and it is just a thought.

Luoyang is not a good choice, the Central Plains has withered, after a long period of war, the population is sparse, and the transportation is cut off, it is difficult to build a capital.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was about to conquer Mongolia in the north and build the capital of Nanjing, which could make full use of the wealth of the southeast, advance and attack, and retreat to defend the Yangtze River.

As a result, Nanjing officially became the capital of the Ming Empire.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Battle of Jingyan soon took place, and Ming Weizu also took Nanjing as the capital. However, his main power is in Yanjing, and Yanjing, as the gateway to the Central Plains, is shielded by mountains in the north and overlooks the whole country in the south, which is more suitable than Nanjing as the capital of a huge empire.

In the first month of the nineteenth year of Yongle, after Ming Weizu officially moved the capital to Yanjing, it is estimated that the emperor's throne was not right. In order to show his respect for Taizu, Zhu Di called Nanjing Kyoto and Yanjing as the accompanying capital according to 1.

This statement has been used until now, but everyone doesn't care much.

After moving the capital to Yanjing, Ming Chengzu expanded several times on the basis of most of the Yuan, from Yongle to the present, it has been more than 100 years, and finally has today's scale.

Standing on the field of Tongzhou, looking up at the north, there is a majestic and majestic city in front of you, in the early morning sunshine, the whole body is bright, spanning more than ten miles, forcing people to breathe.

Without the obstruction of high-rise buildings, the vision is wide, and the majestic atmosphere of the Northland cannot be seen in modern society at all.

Although he is a well-informed modern person, for a moment, Wu Jie was still deeply shocked.

After more than a month of trekking, Wu Jie finally successfully arrived at Yanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty Empire and the center of the world.

Along the way, through the communication system of the Jinyi Guard at hand of Wan Wenming, the news of escorting Yang Zongzhi and the Tang family's team kept coming. Originally, Wan Wenming expected to be able to catch up with them in Henan, but unfortunately it was still a step too late. When they arrived in Yanjing, Yang Zongzhi and the others still entered the capital before them.

It's not that Wu Jie doesn't want to hurry up, it's really that there are two patients in the team, and he can't get up quickly.

First of all, although Wancheng has saved his life, the care and recuperation of smallpox patients takes a lot of time, and it takes more than ten days.

I can't see the wind and get cold, so I naturally walk very slowly along the way. Fortunately, after careful care, the rash on this little ghost finally dried up and fell off, of course, a pockmarked face was inevitable.

The little guy was deeply distressed by this, and it took a little half a month to recover.

As for the daughter of the third child, it is the life of the young lady's body, and the slightest change in the weather will cause a fever.

After more than a month, I finally came to the ground. When I saw the gate of Yanjing City, it was the middle of June in the 39th year of Jiajing.

Wu Jie came to ancient Yanjing for the first time, and a group of people entered the city from the Chaoyang Gate in the east under the leadership of Wan Wenming.

Chaoyang Gate is the city gate of Caomi in and out of the south, and it is a four-story white spoon city gate building with a height of about 20 meters. In front of the city gate is a wide river, with all kinds of boats shuttling back and forth.

The boats were piled with sacks of sackcloth, and occasionally rice flowed out of the pockets and fell into the river, where it floated on the water. There are a few birds that swoop down happily to grab grain, and then they scream and soar into the sky under the drive of bamboo poles.

Entering the city gate and entering this metropolis, Wu Jie was even more dazzled.

As a modern person, he is interested in famous mountains and rivers. As for the city, it is just that there are more people in the house, and it is still possible to compare it with the modern metropolis.

But when he entered the city, he realized that he was wrong. In front of you are neat shops, pedestrians are weaving, and people are buzzing. The streets were wide and clean, and the people were neatly dressed, and their faces were filled with a kind of pride peculiar to the people of heaven. Of course, this pride faded away with the future decline of the Ming Empire. But I have to admit that the Ming Empire at this moment was in its most powerful period, and at this point, the Ming Dynasty began to gradually decline until it was replaced by the Manchu Qing.

The buildings in Yanjing are very distinctive, they are all blue bricks and green tiles, tall and majestic, and they are full of calm and confident bearing from head to toe.

This kind of Beijing temperament has penetrated into every corner of the city, Chengdu has become a famous prosperous place in the world, but compared with here, it is inferior to that deep heritage.

As a modern northerner, Wu Jie prefers the life here, the scenery here, the water and soil here. In the south, to be honest, he was already drenched in the wet moisture and was almost moldy. At this moment, being illuminated by the bright sun of the north, there is a kind of crispy comfort in his bones.

Yanjing is such a good place!

If nothing else, I will stay here for half a year, and then participate in next year's Spring Curtain. After the hall examination, he won the name of Jinshi, and according to the employment system of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Jie will also work in the Hanlin Academy for a few years. That is, he will live here for a long time.

"Am I a little like the North Drifter of later generations, for the sake of dreams, to come to this place full of opportunities. It's just that, compared with the confusion of the later generations, because I have a goal at this moment, the road ahead is extremely clear. Looking at a group of merchants leading camels, Wu Jie laughed silently.

Everything is in the hands of ten thousand civilizations, and the future spy leader led Wu Jie and the others to a small courtyard near Chaoyang Gate, and let them settle down first.

This courtyard is very large, that is, a quadrangle, three rows of houses, a total of eight rooms, Wu Jie, Mozi, and even the three fathers and daughters live in it.

There are two osmanthus trees planted in the yard, take one "expensive"

Word.

It can be seen that there are no people living in this place, the furniture is full of dust, and the yard is also overgrown with grass.

According to Wan Wenming, the courtyard does not belong to him, but the official property of the Fusi of Beizhen, and Wu Jie can live here as long as he likes. Because it is the place of the secret service, no one dares to come over to disturb it, it is very clean, and it is suitable for studying and preparing for exams.

After arranging everything, Wan Wenming said that he would go home from his wife first, and then go to the yamen to inquire about the news of Yang Zongzhi and the Tang family, and then come over to talk to Wu Jie in the evening.

After Wan Wenming left, Mozi first cleaned up the study house and let Wu Jie rest inside, and then cleaned the yard with Lian Laosan.

After packing up everything, it was already evening, and Wan Wenming took a few brocade guards in civilian clothes and a few food boxes to come over happily to accompany Wu Jie to eat and drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Wan Wenming saw that Wu Jie was worried about the Tang family, and said: "Shizhen, I will take the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard, and directly take charge of the Beizhen Fusi Prison, and now, Mr. Yang is locked up inside, and I take care of it, don't worry, everything has been arranged early." Wan Wenming: "Tang Ne, your future Lord Taishan, of course Wan Wenming will not care." I am going to send him to the Imperial Mausoleum in Changping to do labor. Don't worry, I'll find someone to talk to the steward and eunuch over there, and I won't have to suffer any hardship after all. As for Mrs. Tang and Miss Tang..... Wu Jie was holding a glass of wine, and when he heard Wan Wenming talking about Miss Tang, his heart trembled, and his expression became solemn.

Wan Wenming saw it clearly, and smiled bitterly in his heart: My brother is extremely talented, and his articles and poems are all first-class in the world. It's just that because I've been staying in Sichuan, I'm not famous. With his ability, he will live in the capital and will be famous all over the world. However, Brother Wu attaches great importance to women. The Tang family committed this incident, and it can be said that it has touched the scale of the Son of Heaven. Tuzhen will enter the phase in the future, and if he is involved in this matter, it will be very harmful to the future. When other people encounter this, they can't wait to pick themselves off early, and he just wants to make up for it.

It's just a woman, a manly husband, once the power is in hand, what kind of woman can't get it?

Hey, Shizhen is really, I don't know what to say about him.

True affection and sincerity, which is admirable.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have regarded him as a true brother.

Wan Wenming smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Shizhen, and listen to me slowly." Wan Wenming: "When I was in Sichuan, I said that I would find a powerful and powerful family to settle the Tang family's mother and daughter. The power of this powerful family is so great that even the three law divisions, factories, and guards dare not provoke them, and they dare not go in and arrest people. Shizhen, what do you think, who are the nobles in my dynasty who meet this condition? ”

Wu Jie listened to Wan Wenming's words firmly, and his heart also calmed down. After thinking about it, there are really few people among the powerful people in the dynasty who meet this condition, and they can suppress the three law divisions and factory guards. Yan Song was the first assistant of the dynasty, but he was a civil official, and his power was limited to the civil official system. In addition, he was cautious, and he did not dare to reach out to the secret service agency that was directly responsible to the emperor, such as the factory guard. Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, is even more impossible, before he turned his face with Yan Ge Lao. Lao Xu has always been obscure and has been playing soy sauce for many years. In the end, he was forced to kill Yan Song and become the head of the cabinet.

Then, only Lu Bing is eligible.

Jin Yiwei commanded Lu Bing, the hair of Emperor Jiajing, the first powerful man in the dynasty, and the top four richest people in the history of the Ming Dynasty. In the court, it can be said that it covers the sky with one hand, and all civilizations ...... Although he is not a doorman, when Wan Wenming can be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he will definitely get his nod.

Thinking about this, Lu Bing's name came out.

"It turned out to be Lu Gong."

"Shizhen really knows it, and he can even guess this." Wan Wenming praised. "I don't know what the mother and daughter of the Tang family are going to do at the Lu family, and in what capacity they go in?"
