Chapter 510: Ironclad Behemoth

"The dragon vein is not in the north, and the emperor must not move the capital."

"As a minister of the emperor, the minister has the responsibility of assisting the king and speaking out. If the emperor moves the capital, the ministers will die on the main hall. ”

"Your Majesty, the old man is old and can't walk anymore, so he won't go north with the emperor."

The young minister with a strong temperament directly said that death was admonished.

The old minister, the highly respected minister, threatened the emperor with the excuse of resignation.

The advice is well thought out, and the ministers are reluctant to move the capital, so naturally they have their reasons.

Are they short-sighted? Don't know the benefits of moving the capital?

Definitely.

It's just that moving the capital involves the interests of their family and the network behind them.

They calculated that moving the capital in China would change their situation and change their advantages, so they opposed moving the capital.

Those who oppose the relocation of the capital are all ancient big families.

It is precisely because of their great strength that they are highly respected and forced the emperor to slow down his plan to move the capital.

The emperor and his courtiers are like the two ends of a tug-of-war, either you are strong or I am weak. Either you forced me, or I threatened you.

Huaili looked at His Royal Highness's old antiques, "It is imperative to move the capital, if the ministers are unwilling to go, then they will stay and live a good old age and live the days of planting beans in the south of the mountain." ”

Saying that, Huaili left angrily.

Not long after leaving, the father-in-law of Xidefu ran back and shouted: "The emperor said, if you want to kill you, you should die far away, don't dirty this land." ”

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of officials were in an uproar.

or angrily reprimanded the emperor for being unkind, or cried to the emperors of the Xiao family, or agreed to leave with the emperor.

The new ministers were willing to go north with the emperor, and they were more willing to expand their territory and seek a marquis for their own family.

In July of the fourth year of Kaitai, three iron ships sailed into the Lancheng wharf.

Running through the streets and alleys, they told each other, "It's an iron ship." ”

"A ship covered in iron."

"Can iron still float in water?"

"Really, go and see, shiny and shiny, it's all iron."

In Kyoto City, children are selling the latest newspapers.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the ironclad behemoth is approaching Kyoto."

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, Kyoto is surrounded, and the ironclad giant beast can occupy Kyoto in three days."

These headlines are really scary, but if they are not scary headlines, no one wants to buy a newspaper.

Children in Kyoto really dare to say anything in order to sell newspapers.

This newspaper was sent to the Imperial Palace.

The emperor and the queen read a newspaper together, and the pictures on the newspaper were black and white, and they didn't know what the so-called ironclad giant beast was.

It's hard to imagine because I haven't seen it.

"At this time, it's better to live a long life, go wherever you want, and watch whatever you want."

Huaili was a little envious.

He also wanted to see what this ironclad beast was like.

"The concubines can go up and take a look for the emperor." The queen was also very impressed, and she also wanted to go and see it.

The emperor smiled and said, "You want to be beautiful, but if I don't have to see it, you can't see it." It's going to be uncomfortable, and everyone is uncomfortable together. ”

The royal nobles of Kyoto all went to Lancheng to watch the iron-clad beast, and some people could follow the longevity lord to visit on the boat.

The appearance of iron ships, like the steamships of the past, caused a stir in Kyoto.

It's all the talk of the streets.

The next day, the captain Ying Zhu presented the recital to the emperor on behalf of the regent.

"The main ship was thirty-six feet long and eleven feet wide, and had three tiers and six masts. It can hold more than 1,000 people and transport 15,000 stones. ”

"Wow!"

"Can you really transport 10,000 stones?"

One stone is 92 catties, and 10,000 stones is more than 900,000 catties!

The ministers of the DPRK and China are not very convinced, but they do not refute it either.

The carrying capacity of sea vessels, all the time rising, they just couldn't imagine the number carried, rising so fast.

Ying Zhu didn't answer this, but said to the emperor: "The princess heard that the emperor was going to move the capital, so she specially ordered Weichen to assist, and some minions and objects could be handed over to Weichen to carry north." ”

"Your Majesty, you must not, the sea is dangerous, once a shipwreck occurs, the loss will be great." The Chancellor objected.

"Seagoing vessels are here to reduce wastage. Weichen has sailed a lot of times, and he is very familiar with the sea route from Lancheng to Beiliancheng, and he will not have an accident. ”

Ying Zhu said to the ministers: "The princess said, if the ministers are not willing to carry ships, they will go with you, anyway, you have a lot of money, and you don't care about this cost." ”

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that the courtiers were a little stingy.

The emperor said: "The princess has a heart, Ying Aiqing, you go to hand over to the queen and move some dead objects onto the ship." Half a month later, we set off for the north. ”

"Yes."

"The Emperor's ......"

The others wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by the emperor.

"Qin Tianjian said that today is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it is easy to move, so let's start moving things today. Ladies and gentlemen, go or not, feel free to you. ”

Saying that, the emperor left the dragon chair.

The courtier hurriedly said, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

"This, the emperor didn't have a single omen, he said to move, how can it be good?"

I thought it could be delayed, but I didn't expect the emperor and the princess regent to unite and set a date for moving the capital all of a sudden.

The old minister, who has experienced several dynasties, has resentment, "They are all princesses, if it weren't for the princess to provoke it, the emperor would not have moved the capital." ”

"The dragon vein of Daliang is not in Beicheng, and the capital will be moved at will, I'm afraid that the country will not be a country!"

"She is forcing us to express our position and make decisions, this person has always been hard, and there is no femininity at all."

"Be careful, be careful."

"I can't say it, I can't say it."

If only before, I could have said a few words about her. Now that the emperor is becoming more and more stable, no one is allowed to talk about his mother.

If you annoy the emperor, I'm afraid you will implicate the clansmen.

"Don't worry, there won't be many people who agree to move the capital."

"Yes, the old man told them. Few people will move. ”

They swore an oath, but they didn't know that Yingzhu took someone with the word of the regent that night and walked around Kyoto.

Those who were reluctant to leave packed their bags and prepared to relocate.

Mr. Tang was a person who resolutely opposed the relocation of the capital, and he told his disciples early that he opposed the relocation of the capital and forced the emperor not to move the capital.

The day after the iron ship came, his disciples came to the door to say goodbye.

"Sir, the student is leaving you, you must take care."

"Sir, you are like a student's father, but the student has a compelling reason to leave you."

"Sir, the student is not filial, and the student can no longer serve you by your side."

The students who came to say goodbye came one after another, and Mr. Tang was so angry that he couldn't get out of bed.

Before noon, his most beloved and optimistic disciple came.

The boss was so angry that he got up, "You're also going to say goodbye?" ”

"Yes, teacher, the student is going north with the iron ship, and he is going to move the capital with the emperor."

The old man angrily asked, "What made you betray your teacher and make you forget your loyalty?" ”

Students also want to know what is faithful and what is righteous. Yesterday the princess regent sent someone to ask the students, who are the students loyal to? With whom? For whom?

He also asked the students, with power and wealth on the one hand, and teachers on the other, what should I choose? ”

"So you all choose to betray the old man."

"It's not about betraying the teacher, it's about obeying the king's orders. Monarchs and ministers, first there are kings and then ministers. Without the emperor, whose courtiers are we?

The student bids farewell to the teacher. ”

"Get out."

The impregnable line of defense collapsed in the words of the princess regent when the iron ship arrived.

The princess regent is very vulgar and tempts with money and status.

But it is the most effective means!

The elders regard her as a poisonous insect and bed bug in the pile of readers, which destroys the backbone and arrogance of readers.
