The night banquet of the Guogong Mansion was full of joy.

Of course, it is not necessarily all pleasant, there is no perfect thing in this world, such as Ji Gang, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, he is not very happy.

Xiao Fan really didn't say polite to him, while hooking Ji Gang into the door, several subordinates followed him out, in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Ji Gang couldn't pull down the bottom to eat and drink for nothing, and said that the top boss was happy, not to say that it was unacceptable, and let the subordinates of the Xiao Mansion go to his house to sweep up, and all the valuable things that could be moved were moved, and the people of the Xiao Mansion were like locusts crossing the border, and the autumn wind swept the leaves up and down the Ji Mansion.

Ji Gang was in the Guogong Mansion, watching the people of the Xiao Mansion happily move his family's things into the warehouse of the Xiao Mansion, his heart hurt like a needle prick, and the mellow wine was drunk in his mouth, as if he had poured a mouthful of Coptis soup, so bitter that his whole face was distorted.

This time, how can the word "egg hurt"!

When he drank seven or eight minutes, Ji Gang also had a new understanding of life.

The way to survive as a man and an official is only the four words "thick face and black heart"!

I thought that I was blackmailing and robbing all over the world, but I didn't expect this British duke to be blacker than him, and the means and methods were many times better than him.

If this guy doesn't do the national government and turns to robbery, he must be a smart robber, the kind who can kidnap other people's tickets and help him count the money happily.

Awesome!

That's what it's called Taoism!

In comparison, Ji Gang is simply a little white face with a skin thinner than the rabbit Xianggong.

Ji Gang, who was born with the cunning and ruthless surname, actually gave birth to a sinister sense of fear in the rivers and lakes at this time.

Maybe it's because I'm depressed, maybe I think this meal is too expensive, and I must drink it back, Ji Gang didn't know how many altars he poured this night, and in the end the guests dispersed, but Ji Gang was drunk and fell drunk on the deep and hot land of Guogong Mansion, talking nonsense and bursting into tears.

- It's good, it's a nice mess.

Jiang Du was pregnant, and after the night banquet in the scenery, he began to enjoy the most meticulous and thoughtful care of the Xiao Mansion, Zhu Yunwen also sent two experienced doctors to live in the Xiao Mansion, and served Jiang Du as a personal doctor. No one dares to take those who want to inherit the title and family business in the future lightly.

Xiao Fan also loves him so much, he always helps Jiang Du in and out, but whenever he eats and walks, Xiao Fan accompanies him personally, takes care of him meticulously, often caresses Jiang Du's lower abdomen that has not yet bulged, and he must call him a baby, and his gentle attitude makes the other three ladies feel infinite envy and jealousy, and secretly swear to give the Xiao family a man and a half girl, so that the Xiao family will spread out.

So Xiao Fan was tired in bed these days, and he was happily tired.

After resting for a few days, as usual, he still had to go to the early dynasty, since the suppression of Zhu Di's rebellion, Xiao Fan's identity has also risen, not only standing in the first place in the meritorious class of the prince when he went to the court, but also Zhu Yunwen is used to asking his opinion for his surname, and the ministers are also accustomed to it, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong with this.

The power of the ministers is the golden pagoda that has gradually been built up by relying on the accumulated merits and prestige, and now Xiao Fan is undoubtedly standing on the top of the golden pagoda, and others can only look up.

In the past few days, Ji Gang has become more honest, staying in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division every day to do a very low-key errand, in addition to presiding over the draft and entering the palace, try not to meet Xiao Fan, how far can he hide, how far can he hide, the mouse sees the cat is probably like this, every time he sees Xiao Fan's creditor face, Ji Gang's legs are weak, cold sweat is all over, and the symptoms are obvious.

The court is peaceful, there is no major event in the country, Jianwen Dynasty is slowly moving forward with a peaceful and steady pace, the prosperous era is coming, Zhaomin Si'an, Xiao Fan keenly feels that the time to move the capital has come.

As an official, he always has his own program and propositions, and Xiao Fan calls this an "ideal".

The ideal is beautiful, but the road to realizing the ideal is bumpy and long, Zhu Yunwen has clearly refused once, Xiao Fan does not give up, he has to try again.

The Palace of Manhwa.

The weather is getting hotter, and the four corners of the hall are placed with large ice blocks that have been moved out of the ice cellar, which has slightly reduced the heat wave of the scorching heat, and has become somewhat cool.

Zhu Yunwen squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Fan, and said in his mouth: "In the end, I am about to become a father, I see that you are very different from usual, the whole person is much more sophisticated and mature, and you have the bearing of an important minister in the court...... What do you think? You're in a good mood to become a father, right? ”

Xiao Fan was still immersed in the joy of becoming a father, and when he heard this, he smiled, and said incredulously: "Hehe, yes, it's amazing, the reproduction of human beings is so wonderful, I'm just shivering, your sister actually has a big belly......"

Zhu Yunwen: "............"

Zhu Yunwen didn't know how to respond to this sentence, so he had to smile and nod, indicating that he didn't understand love when he was in love.............................. "Your Majesty, the minister is now in the palace, and there is a major event I want to tell Your Majesty......"

"Why is Xiao Shiyu so solemn? I believe that what you say makes sense, do whatever you want, I support you! Zhu Yunwen was so generous that he was a mess.

Xiao Fan straightened up and said, "Since Your Majesty trusts the ministers so much, the ministers will go and gather the ministers and tell them to prepare to move......

"Why are you moving?"

"Move the capital!"

After speaking, Xiao Fan turned his head and left.

Zhu Yunwen was shocked: "Slow ...... Wait! Xiao waiter, don't go! It's a big joke! ”

Xiao Fan stopped and looked at him dissatisfied: "Your Majesty said that you support my ......"

Zhu Yunwen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said astringently: "...... That can't support everything, move the capital with one mouth, you almost scared me to death, Xiao Shi read, since Emperor Taizu Gao set the capital of Nanjing Yingtian, there are more than 30 years, the first emperor is far-sighted, and I will set the capital of the Ming Kingdom in Yingtian, the six dynasties are victorious, and the world is majestic, so naturally he has his intentions, why do you have to move the capital? I am the emperor for less than two years, and I want to change the ancestral system and move the capital elsewhere, how can the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty rely on me? ”

"Your Majesty is my great tomorrow, the emperor's will determines everything, Your Majesty is one person in heaven and earth, as long as Your Majesty is willing, no one in this world can stop you."

Zhu Yunwen sighed, looked at him very helplessly, and said, "The problem is, I don't want to move the capital...... Xiao Shiyu, moving the capital is not a child's play, it is related to the foundation of the country, not only exhausting countless manpower and material resources of the imperial court, but also affecting the situation of my great future, river transportation, agriculture, merchants, until the deployment of troops in various states, prefectures, provinces and guards, and borders, the transfer of civil and military generals, the reaction of the surrounding vassal neighbors, etc., etc., etc....... Xiao Shi reads, the matter is big, and I can't rush to agree. ”

Zhu Yunwen's attitude is very resolute, Zhu Yuanzhang left him a country, he can't joke about it, and the move of the capital is obviously beyond the scope of what he can accept.

Xiao Fan sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister advocates moving the capital, of course there are my reasons, the current situation is peaceful, the people are determined, if it is not necessary, who wants to toss these things for no reason?" But if I want the country to last forever, I must move the capital......"

Zhu Yunwen's expression became serious, he straightened his body, sat behind the dragon case, and said solemnly: "Xiao Shiyu insists on moving the capital so much, what reason do you have?" If you can convince me, I will support you, just as we did when we joined forces to implement the new policy, and we will do something vigorous and great to show those rotten and stubborn old guys......"

Xiao Fan was overjoyed, he knew very well that the person sitting in front of him now was not a great tomorrow, but a friend who had been friends for many years, this friend threw away all worldly prejudices, no matter how ridiculous and shocking what he said, this friend would listen carefully, and then make his own judgment from an objective standpoint.

That's enough, the way of friends is not to blindly go along or oppose, give each other a chance to listen and confide, the so-called confidant, is nothing more than heart-to-heart.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Fan, suddenly smiled, and quickly straightened his face, and said: "Of course, if you can't even convince me of your reasons, let alone those stubborn and old-fashioned ministers in the court, if you can't convince me today, let's stop the matter of moving the capital, and don't mention it in the future, how about it?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled freely and nodded, "Okay!" ”

The two looked at each other, a warmth flowed through each other's hearts, and then smiled tacitly at each other, the two of them walked through this lot of wind and rain together, and there was no need to say superfluous words, a smile was enough.

Xiao Fan said while organizing the language in his mind: "If Cao Yi is changed, the reason I give him is very simple, just say that the women in Jiangnan are tired of seeing it, let's take a look at the heroic side of the northern women in another place, and besides, the wine in Jiangnan is too soft, and a bird fades out of the mouth, the burning knife in the north is much stronger, and the stomach is followed by fire in one bite, it is called a comfort, you see, the north is better than the south everywhere, and moving the capital is naturally the best choice......"

Xiao Fan looked up at Zhu Yunwen and said cautiously: "...... If I explain it to you, I don't think you agree with it, do you? ”

Zhu Yunwen's face gradually darkened, snorted coldly, and said, "What do you say? ”

"Okay, let's talk about something practical...... Your Majesty, the reason why the minister advocates moving the capital is nothing more than four words, 'be prepared for danger in times of peace', whether it is for the future political needs, strategic military needs or the economic needs of the Ming Dynasty, the relocation is a must! ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, smacked his lips and muttered, "...... So much needed? ”

Xiao Fan continued: "Mencius said: Born in sorrow, died in peace, ordinary farming tenants must work hard every year in order to pay rent to the landlord, regardless of the wind and rain or natural disasters, they are conscientious, and finally say that they work hard, even if there is food in the family, they dare not have the slightest fatigue and slackness, why? This is because they have a sense of distress. They know very well that the good times or adversity in front of them do not represent the future, in order not to go hungry, they work harder and harder in good times, save more surplus food, and do not starve to death in disaster years......

The same is true when the sense of distress is applied to state affairs. Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 30 years, when Emperor Taizu Gao set the capital of Nanjing Yingtian, one is because Taizu is a Huaiyou person, and the capital Nanjing has a sense of belonging, and the other is that Nanjing is located in the prosperous and rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, with developed commerce, convenient transportation, and the treasury is not worried about money and grain, which can stabilize people's hearts at the fastest speed. At that time, Taizu was wise, and it was a necessary move to set the capital of Nanjing, but now the situation has changed, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties is prosperous, and the prosperity and wealth on the surface can not cover up the more and more corrupt and degenerate upper class, we are in a high position, accustomed to every brocade and jade food, and accustomed to the welcome of the officials below, there is no war here, there is no poverty, the sun is shining here, such as heaven, our eyes see a thriving scene, thinking that the whole world is as prosperous as Nanjing, and our generation can still keep calm, We know that there is wealth and poverty in the world, but what about our next generation? What about the next generation? Prosperity and stability breed the twilight of the imperial court, it will gradually corrode the minds of our children and grandchildren from the root, who can guarantee that every generation of monarchs of the Ming Dynasty is the master? Who can guarantee that every minister is a loyal minister? When a country begins to rot from its roots, perhaps with a gentle push from one of its ministers, the entire country will collapse with a bang......"

A long speech, Zhu Yunwen was stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Fan to look at the capital of the Ming Dynasty from this angle, but what he said did have his reason, Zhu Yunwen was silent for a long time, and fell into deep thought...... "Your Majesty, you need to think about danger when you live in peace, and the life of our country can always be vigorous, since ancient times, the capital of Nanjing, from the Eastern Wu Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties, and then to the Southern Tang Dynasty, the country has rarely been a hundred years, why is this?" Because the emperor and ministers only saw the prosperity in front of them, and the prosperity consumed the will of the people, lost the enterprising heart, a court without the enterprising spirit and sense of distress, the result is bound to be destroyed by others, on the other hand, those dynasties that set the capital of the country very close to the border, such as Luoyang of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and Bianliang of the Song Dynasty, they can make the country last for hundreds of years, why is this? ”

Xiao Fan stared at the stunned Zhu Yunwen, and said word by word: "Because of worry!" Because they know that they cannot slack off, they cannot enjoy themselves, they cannot take it lightly, and if they want to eliminate the foreign threat under their noses, they must continue to forge ahead and open up, drive away the enemies under their noses, drive them far away, and make themselves no longer in danger, this is the enterprising spirit, the enterprising spirit forced out by the dangerous national capital! Such an enterprising spirit directly created the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, resulting in the strength of the country and the submission of all nations! ”

Zhu Yunwen was still stunned...... Xiao Fan said slowly: "Your Majesty, to put it simply, the so-called political need to move the capital is mainly to prevent His Majesty's descendants from living too comfortably because of the son, so there are a few sloppy losers, and they lose the country in a playful way, can you understand this?" ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded and smiled with relief: "As soon as you say this, I will understand." ”

"As for the strategic military needs, Nanjing is located on the southeast coast, so to speak, the future of my Ming strong enemy, not from the north, but from the sea, Nanjing by the sea, no buffer and cover zone, as the capital of my Ming Dynasty, its disadvantages outweigh the advantages, and the benefits of moving the capital to the north are many, not only can drive the barren economy and commerce in the north, and the northern Mongolia often offends the border, the imperial court moves the capital is conducive to military command and political deterrence, and the control of the Mongolian ministries can also reach the preemptive trend in the shortest possible time, the northern provinces, The most suitable national capital is Beiping, because although Beiping is also on the coast, but the coast of Beiping is an inland sea, and the security is much stronger than Nanjing, and there are two peninsulas of Liaodong and Shandong, even if there is a war along the coast, it must first pass through these two peninsulas, so as not to shake the Beijing division, and the north of Beiping, out of the Great Wall is the vast Qianli Plain of Daning Prefecture, so it provides enough strategic depth for Beiping, even if there are Mongol or Jurchen invaders, the imperial court can calmly organize the border army to fight back......"

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but interject: "...... Daning Mansion is in the hands of Duoyan Sanwei, and they are all Mongols. ”

Xiao Fan patted his chest heroically: "Within a year, the minister is sure to return Daning Mansion to us with respectful hands ...... his hands."

Zhu Yunwen: "............"

“…… Beiping was the capital of the former Yuan, the former Yan Wangfu is the capital palace, if the capital is moved to Beiping, there is no need to build a large number of buildings to rebuild the palace, the burden of the treasury will be minimized, there is a very important reason, Beiping is located on the border, often at war with the Mongolian Tartars, the Ming Dynasty has been arranging heavy troops since the founding of the country, and the military power is a very sensitive thing, to no one is at ease, if the capital is set in Beiping, you can be directly controlled by the Son of Heaven, not to make the military power fall, which is also very beneficial to the court and the Son of Heaven......"

"Your Majesty, the relocation of the capital is related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, the minister is put forward after careful consideration, because this matter can only be done by our generation, to our next generation, or the next generation, they do not have the courage to do it, even our generation, the minister can only be raised in the prime of life when His Majesty is in the prime of life, to tell the truth, the minister is worried that His Majesty will be old in the future, and he will lose his enterprising and pioneering heart, and he will be afraid of everything, and the matter of moving the capital will always be just an empty talk that can never be decided, so, The minister can only bring it up now. ”

…………………… The two of them discussed in the Wenhua Hall for a few hours, and in these hours, Xiao Fan made the benefits of moving the capital clear, and with the ByteDance one by one, a major event related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty in the next few hundred years gradually took shape.

After a long time, Zhu Yunwen breathed a long sigh of relief, although there was a thoughtful look on his face, it was much lighter than just now.

I have to admit that Zhu Yunwen was persuaded by Xiao Fan.

In addition to those objectively existing economic and military needs, what impressed Zhu Yunwen the most was the words "be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Yes, he can't guarantee that there will be so many faint tyrants and mediocre kings among his descendants, there is no doubt that putting them in a relatively dangerous place is undoubtedly much stronger than putting them in a greenhouse to take care of them, and a person can only be confused if he has experienced hardships.

Moving the capital is to move his descendants out of the greenhouse and move them to a place where the sun and wind and rain coexist, so that the children and grandchildren can be exposed to the sun at the same time, but also accept the exercise of the rain and wind, so that they can be strong and wise, so as not to lose the Daming Dynasty that Emperor Hongwu worked hard to fight.

With a long sigh, Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Xiao Shiyu, why do you always stand on the reasonable side?" ”

Xiao Fan also smiled: "Because I have always been reasonable, and moving all is for my Daming Society, not for my own selfishness." ”

Zhu Yunwen hesitated: "Move the capital to Beiping, but Beiping is too close to Mongolia......

Xiao Fan patted his chest heroically: "As long as the capital of the country is set in Beiping, there is a sufficient supply of grain, grass and soldiers, and the minister guarantees that within five years, the steppe desert of Mongolia will be included in the territory of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up: "Is this true?" Can you really conquer Mongolia? ”

"The minister is willing to make a military order!"

Zhu Yunwen's joy was fleeting, and he said with a bitter face: "Even if I agree to move the capital, it's useless, those old stubborns in the court are not fuel-efficient lamps, if this matter is proposed, it will be a big rebellion in their eyes, and they will really fight with you ......."

Xiao Fan continued to pat his chest heroically: "As long as Your Majesty agrees, those old stubborns will be wrapped up in the ministers, and the ministers are sure to let them agree!" ”

"How are you going to convince them?"

"Your Majesty, the minister did not intend to convince, but the minister can guarantee to make them submit!"
