In April of the first year of Hongxi of the Ming Dynasty, the most eye-catching thing in the court was not the power struggle between the cabinet and the five governments and six ministries, but the relocation of the capital. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.

Emperor Yongle moved the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi from Nanjing to Beijing, but Emperor Hong Xi grew up in Nanjing since he was a child, and he supervised the country in Nanjing for a long time, and had a deep affection for Nanjing.

Since the capital division of the Ming Dynasty was originally Nanjing, which was a prosperous and rich place under heaven, and deep inland to avoid the threat of the northern tribes, the vast majority of the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK were supportive of moving the capital.

The relocation of the capital is not comparable to the movement of the people, it can be said that it affects the whole body, and at the suggestion of Emperor Hong Xi, the cabinet began to deal with the matter of moving the capital.

Officials like Li Yuntian, who do not have a residence in Nanjing, are the most depressed, which means that they have to find a new residence in Nanjing, but this is not easy in the densely populated city of Nanjing.

However, Li Yuntian's situation is much better, the imperial court will arrange a good official residence for the imperial history to live, and he can live in the old man's mansion, the Houye Mansion in Nanjing City is bigger than the Guogong Mansion in Beijing City, and there is no problem in living in his family.

At the same time, Emperor Hongxi took back the seals of the major yamen in the capital, re-made the zuò, and added the word "Xing in" to it, which means the place where the Son of Heaven is located, which is virtually equivalent to abolishing the status of Beijing as a capital teacher.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty actually has no Beijing Division, Beijing's major yamen seals are printed with the word "Xing Zai", and Nanjing's major yamen seals are printed with the word "Nanjing", which means that the two places are not the Ming Dynasty's legal Jingshi, it is more reasonable to say that they are accompanied.

In early April, just a few days after the implementation of yàn was completed under the iron ball that shook the whole city in the south tower of the capital, Li Yuntian, who was on duty in the Wenyuan Pavilion, received the queen's edict and went to the Forbidden City to meet the driver.

Li Yuntian knew what was going on as soon as he guessed, and the queen summoned Zhou Yuting into the palace to preach in order to resolve the "contradiction" between him and Zhou Yuting, so he sorted out the black yarn and official robe and followed the inner servant who passed the decree.

He guessed correctly, in a pavilion in the imperial garden, the queen was sitting there talking and laughing with Zhou Yuting, she was a native of Yongcheng, the daughter of Pengcheng Hou Zhang Qi, filial piety and docility, and won the favor of Emperor Yongle and his wife, and Emperor Hongxi had a lot of credit for his accession to the throne.

"Weichen Li Yuntian, knock on the queen's mother." Li Yuntian walked quickly to the pavilion and respectfully knelt down and saluted the queen.

"Flat." Seeing this, the queen smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to signal Li Yuntian to get up, and then asked the attendant on the side to bring a stool to Li Yuntian to give him a seat.

Li Yuntian was sitting on his lap and bowed slightly, showing his respect for the queen.

The queen called Li Yuntian this time to let Zhou Yuting reconcile with him, no matter how Li Yuntian is also the imperial history and Shu Jishi of the Ming Dynasty, the close ministers around the Son of Heaven, it is not a way to always have a home and not be able to go back. The update is the fastest and most stable

Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting naturally wanted to give the queen this face, and the two were acting anyway, so they agreed to it.

However, Li Yuntian did not go home immediately, and postponed going home for a period of time on the grounds that he had to work nearby in the official residence of the Hanlin Academy because he was busy with affairs recently, which made Zhou Yuting can't help but roll her eyes at him and look a little dissatisfied.

Li Yuntian is different from other courtiers who are submissive, generous and funny, which makes the queen very happy.

Just when the three of them were talking and laughing, a group of maids and chamberlains came over surrounded by two well-dressed young women, and Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting hurriedly got up to greet each other when they saw this.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." The two women blessed the queen and said coquettishly.

The leading woman was dressed in the costume of the crown princess, dignified and quiet, it was the crown princess Hu, who was elected as the crown princess in the fifteenth year of Yongle.

The woman behind Hu is the crown princess and concubine Sun, graceful and slender, pure and beautiful, with a hint of charm between her eyebrows.

"I've seen the crown princess and the crown princess." Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting then saluted Hu and Sun, and the two smiled and bowed their heads.

The queen smiled and gave the Hu family and the Sun family a seat, and the prince will leave for Nanjing after a while, one is to guard Nanjing, and the other is to prepare for the relocation of the capital in Nanjing, so the Hu family and the Sun family have to come to the queen every day to ask for peace, and they have done their filial piety.

Because the Hu family and the Sun family were in the palace city, Li Yuntian and the two had only met a few times and had only spoken a few words, and they were not familiar with each other.

However, Zhou Yuting has a very close personal relationship with the Hu family and the Sun family, and Zhou Yuting has personally visited the Guogong Mansion during her pregnancy and after giving birth, which can be described as caring and unlimited.

Although Sun is only the crown prince's concubine, but Li Yuntian does not dare to slack off, Sun is Queen Zhang's fellow villager, but also a native of Yongcheng, when Queen Zhang's mother recommended him to enter the palace, and grew up with the prince, the two were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship.

It is precisely because he is a fellow villager with Empress Zhang, so Emperor Yongle did not choose Sun as the crown princess, otherwise Yongcheng would have two queens at once, and it would be easy to promote the power of foreign relatives.

The atmosphere in the pavilion was very relaxed, and Li Yuntian methodically told the queen, the crown princess, and the crown princess about folk anecdotes and customs, which made the three of them listen with great interest, and the laughter was endless.

When the crown princess and the crown princess got up to say goodbye, Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting also retired together, and the four of them went out of the imperial garden together, Zhou Yuting and the crown princess and the princess walked in front to talk and laugh, and Li Yuntian followed quietly behind.

"What? During this time, I couldn't miss being outside, and I didn't know that I was going home. After breaking up with the crown princess and the crown princess in front of a palace gate, Zhou Yuting raised her eyebrows, put away her smiling face, stretched out her hand and pinched Li Yuntian's arm, and said hatefully.

Originally, Zhou Yuting thought that the queen would come forward, and Li Yuntian found a step so that he could go home, but he didn't think that Li Yuntian would stay in the official residence of Hanlin Academy.

"Lady, you are wrong to blame your husband, if I go back so early, how can your tigress status be established?" Li Yuntian rubbed his hot arm and said with a "grievance" on his face.

"Tigress?" Zhou Yuting was slightly stunned, and then burst out laughing, since the last time she chased Li Yuntian with a long sword and fled, now many princesses and county lords have come to her to ask her for the art of the imperial husband.

In the eyes of those princesses and county lords, Li Yuntian is a dignified imperial historian and a scholar, shrewd and capable, since he was cleaned up by Zhou Yuting, he didn't even dare to take a concubine, so after learning from Zhou Yuting, it would not be a piece of cake to repair their husbands!

Therefore, Zhou Yuting is now a famous "tigress" in the capital, which makes many people sympathetic to Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian actually killed two birds with one stone, one was to push away the Han King's media, and the other was to block some "peach blossom tribulations", so that those women who wanted to fight his idea would retreat.

"Come home at night, my father has something to look for you." Zhou Yuting knew that she was wrong to blame Li Yuntian, and then smiled, she knew that she would not not go home for no reason.

Zhou Zheng looked for Li Yuntian for the matter of moving the capital, once the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi moved to Nanjing City, then the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion would definitely follow him to Nanjing.

Beijing City is the most important barrier in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and those elite troops cannot be withdrawn, otherwise who will guard the northern gateway of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, at least half of the more than 300,000 elite troops under the command of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office had to accompany them to the south, and the remaining half stayed in Beijing City and became the left-behind troops.

Zhou Zheng now not only has a headache for transferring those troops to Nanjing, but also worries about the garrison of Beijing, and many senior nobles in the capital are now moving around and want to take this position into their arms, and there are many people close to Zhou Zheng.

"Father-in-law, according to the son-in-law, there is no need to worry about this matter, although the emperor wants to move the capital, but the prince has been with the first emperor for a long time, and he has a similar temperament to the first emperor, and he does not want to move back to Nanjing." Li Yuntian naturally knew the trouble Zhou Zheng was encountering now, so he smiled and comforted him in the study after dinner.

"Having said that, the matter of moving the capital is imminent, and it will be completed within two years, and the prince may not be able to persuade the emperor." Zhou Zheng's brows furrowed and he shook his head slightly.

"Father-in-law, to say something disrespectful, the son-in-law feels that the emperor has been looking ill recently, and I am afraid that he has a hidden illness and has no time to carry out the relocation of the capital." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment, looked at Zhou Zheng and said in a low voice.

"Are you sure?" Zhou Zheng was taken aback, he never expected Li Yuntian to have such an astonishing remark, and looked at him with a stunned expression.

"The emperor has a wide heart and a fat body, and he has foot diseases and is not good at exercising, and his physical fitness is weak, coupled with the fact that he has been quite busy with state affairs recently, many factors have accumulated, which is really harmful to the emperor and not beneficial." Li Yuntian nodded and said solemnly, "The emperor is now nearly half a hundred years old, if the son-in-law is not wrong, the emperor may have a catastrophe within six months!" ”

Zhou Zheng's face changed a few times, he knew that Li Yuntian would definitely not be alarmist, so he couldn't help but stand up and paced back and forth in the room, pondering Li Yuntian's words with a stern expression.

Although Li Yuntian did not say it explicitly, he was obviously extremely worried about Emperor Hong Xi's physical condition, after all, Emperor Hong Xi was forty-seven years old, and he was obese, and he must have suffered from a variety of hidden diseases.

"Since this is the case, then it is better to take precautions, and my father will let your second brother follow the prince south." After a long time, Zhou Zheng stopped, he had already made up his mind, and said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

The "second brother" in Zhou Zheng's mouth will naturally not be Li Yuntian's second brother, but Zhou Yuting's second brother Zhou Feng, who is now serving in the Gyeonggi Governor's Office.

Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, the reason why he revealed this shocking news to Zhou Zheng was to let Zhou Zheng lay out beside the prince one step earlier, as long as Zhou Feng became a minister of the East Palace, then the prince would definitely be promoted and appointed after he ascended the throne, this is once a son of heaven and a courtier, which emperor will use his cronies and ministers to hold important positions.

If Li Yuntian is not mistaken, the year name of Hong Xichao is until the first year, although he forgot the time when Emperor Hong Xi died in this year, but he thought that it would not exceed the end of the year, so he boldly guessed that the time of death should be within six months.

Perhaps, this is Li Yuntian's biggest advantage compared with others, who would have thought that not long after he ascended the throne, Emperor Hong Xi, who was in the prime of life, would suddenly die?

Faced with the situation after the death of Emperor Hongxi, Li Yuntian had already arranged it when Emperor Yongle was alive, and asked Zhou Yuting to dedicate the jade horse statue sent by Zhu Zhanqi, the son of the Han dynasty, to the Hu family, who was still the imperial concubine at that time, instead of the crown princess Empress Zhang at that time, which had far-reaching implications.

It was under Li Yuntian's arrangement that people like Zhou Yuting, who had a big personality, patiently approached the crown princess Hu and the crown princess Sun, and now the relationship between the two sides is very harmonious and intimate.

In addition, Li Yuntian also made arrangements for the people around him, Li Manshan has been transferred from Beizhen Fusi in Beijing to Nanzhen Fusi in Nanjing, and will follow the prince south as an escort.

There is another person worth mentioning, that is, Song Dashan, the servant of the Siyuan Bureau, if he really has some ability, then he should be able to transfer to the prince's side with the five hundred taels of silver tickets, after all, compared with the twenty-four yamen in the palace, serving by the prince's side is an unpopular errand, and God knows when he will be able to get through.
