Volume III, Chapter 629

In Lin Haotian's opinion, Xiao Xuan doesn't understand his own mind, but Chen Xin is the person who is the best at figuring out people's hearts, and he will definitely support his decision.

As a result, Lin Haotian was wrong again, Chen Xin, like Xiao Xuan, also opposed the relocation of the capital.

Chen Xin was also frank in front of Lin Haotian, and said honestly: "Xiaguan bought hundreds of acres of land inside and outside Wancheng, and at 500 taels of silver per mu, it was more than 100,000 taels of assets, and it was also all the belongings of the lower officials. ”

His words also represent the psychology of a considerable number of people, among the many ministers of the Jin State, which one of them did not place all their belongings in Wancheng, if the capital was moved, what would happen to these assets? Not only did they depreciate, but they could not be taken away!

Subsequently, Lin Haotian successively found the prime minister's chief Shi Cao Yanqing, Taishi Ling Wei Wuji, the chief bookkeeper Chen Tang, Zhang Xiu of the Martial Arts Academy, Wang Yu of the Lieutenant's Mansion and other civil and military generals, but the answers they got were roughly the same, everyone thought that it was not appropriate to move, saying that it would cause turmoil in people's hearts, make the Jin people lose their cohesion, and say that the key point would damage the fortunes of the Jin country and make the Jin country fall into a danger from which it will never recover.

If only one or two people objected, Lin Haotian could still forcibly implement the plan to move the capital, but all the ministers were against it, and Lin Haotian also felt powerless at this time.

Since the early dismissal, Lin Haotian began to meet with the ministers who came one by one, and he was busy until late, without saying anything, and he was still holding back his anger, he was not in the mood to eat dinner, and paced back and forth in the small garden near the house.

At this moment, Shao Lin came to report, saying that Zhang Hui asked to see him.

Zhang Hui is not a Jin man, but a Mu man, and it is of little significance whether his attitude towards the relocation of the capital is in favor or against, so Lin Haotian did not summon him.

Now Lin Haotian is in a bad mood. When he heard that Zhang Hui was coming, he didn't want to see it, but after thinking about it, Zhang Hui has always been resourceful, and he might be able to help him come up with an idea about moving the capital, thinking of this. He raised his head to Shao Lin and said, "Let him come over!" As he spoke, he walked to the pavilion in the center of the courtyard and sat down.

After a short time, Zhang Hui was led by Shao Lin and walked over quickly, and when Lin Haotian approached, he bowed and saluted, and said, "Xiaguan see your lord!"

"Get up!" Lin Haotian waved his hand and gestured to the seat opposite him.

Zhang Hui bowed down again and thanked him, and then sat down on the stone bench opposite Lin Haotian.

Say it's sitting. In fact, it's just a sticky butt, and it's not comfortable to sit down and stand!

He was the first to ask, "The lower officials heard that someone has asked your lord to move the capital. ”

Lin Haotian was happy, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Lord Zhang is also here to persuade Ben Shuai not to move the capital, and to kill the people who enter the admonition?"

As soon as he heard the meaning of Lin Haotian's words, Zhang Hui had already guessed his intention, which was consistent with his judgment, and he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no! ”

Lin Haotian found so many ministers to talk about moving the capital, and the news had already spread among the ministers. It was not surprising that Zhang Hui heard about this.

He deliberately went to visit the ministers who were summoned by Lin Haotian, and the reply was the same. The ministers were all opposed, and they also expressed their thoughts in front of the adults, through which Zhang Hui basically concluded that the adults actually supported the relocation of the capital.

If the adults are also opposed to moving the capital, there is no need to summon so many ministers at all, as long as one or two important ministers are summoned. It is precisely because the adults actually support the relocation of the capital and do not get a satisfactory answer from the ministers, so they have to summon them all the time, hoping to hear like-minded voices.

If Chen Xin is outstanding in figuring out people's hearts, then Zhang Hui is undoubtedly better. He was keenly aware that the opportunity for his performance had come, so he went to the palace at night and asked to see Lin Haotian.

On the contrary, Xiaguan felt that moving the capital was the way to become a strong country that conformed to development. Zhang Hui said seriously.

"Oh?" Lin Haotian's eyes lit up, it was really rare, after listening to the opposition all day, he finally heard the voice of approval, but unfortunately, Zhang Hui is a wooden person, and in the Jin State court, Jin is the main body.

Lin Haotian remained silent, casually asked Shao Lin to prepare two cups of tea, and then asked casually: "Tell me, why do you think it is feasible to move the capital." ”

"Wancheng is biased to the northeast, if it was before, there is nothing wrong with it, but now our country's territory has increased nearly three times, there are large territories in the west and south, now, the location of Wancheng is too remote, and it is too inconvenient, the capital is transferred to the southwest, which is more conducive to the imperial court to control Ningdi and Chidi nearby, and it is also more conducive to the stability of the situation in our country, as long as our country is not chaotic, even if there is a strong foreign enemy, it will not be able to defeat our country. Zhang Hui analyzed with a straight face.

Lin Haotian nodded while listening, Zhang Hui's words were to the point, and they also hit his mind. After Zhang Hui finished speaking, Lin Haotian couldn't help but sigh faintly and said, "What Lord Zhang said is reasonable, but there are many ministers who don't think so!"

Zhang Hui burst out laughing and asked, "My lord, the people who oppose the relocation of the capital should all be Jinren?"

"That's right!"

"In fact, this is very easy to understand, the Jin people's feelings for Wancheng are too deep, and the lower officials dare to guarantee that in the hearts of the vast majority of Jin people, our country's national vein is in Wancheng, once you choose to move the capital, it is to damage the national vein, self-damage to the national fortune, not to mention, many ministers' belongings are in Wancheng, once the capital is moved, there is no doubt that the family is bankrupt, so, whether it is public or private, the opposition of the ministers is inevitable. Zhang Hui calmly analyzed.

"Yes, in the eyes of many ministers, Wancheng is like a piece of heart that is difficult to give up...... Lin Haotian sighed sincerely, and then, he raised his eyebrows again and looked down at Zhang Hui.

Lin Haotian is not a fool, Zhang Hui can come late at night, and say such a thing in front of him, it is impossible to be meaningless, he looked at Zhang Hui for a while, and asked with a smile: "Lord Zhang has a plan to promote the relocation of the capital?"

Zhang Hui smiled lightly and asked rhetorically: "What do you think is the biggest obstacle to moving the capital?"

Lin Haotian's eyes rolled, he thought about it seriously, and said: "It is people who believe that Wancheng is the national vein of my Dajin. ”

Zhang Hui nodded his head and said: "My lord is wise! China's national lineage and national fortune are all tied to Wancheng, which is the most high-sounding reason for opposing the relocation of the capital. There was a pause. He said in a low voice: "If it is said that continuing to set the capital in Wancheng is like self-damage to the national vein and the fortune of the country, then the move of the capital will become inevitable." ”

Lin Haotian didn't fully understand the meaning of Zhang Hui's words, he said, "Let's listen to ...... in detail."

Zhang Hui looked left and right. Then he stood up, walked to Lin Haotian's side, bent down, and whispered in his ear.

Lin Haotian's brows were twisted into a pimple at first, but gradually, his frowning brows relaxed, and when Zhang Hui finished speaking in his ear, Lin Haotian's face was already smiling, and he slapped his hands and laughed: "Okay! It's really a good way! It's just ...... I want to get something like what Mr. Zhang said. It's not easy!"

"Wood can be made. Zhang Hui reminded in a low voice.

"En!" Lin Haotian nodded and said, "That's right! It seems that I have to send a secret envoy to the Wood Country." As soon as his words fell, Zhang Hui volunteered and said, "My lord, the next official is willing to go!"

"This ......"

"My lord, the stakes are very high, and it must be kept secret, and it is best for only the adults and the lower officials to know about this matter. It is also most appropriate for the lower officials to go. Zhang Hui said.

"Okay! It's hard for you to run this time. ”

"Do things for adults, don't say hard!"

Lin Haotian was happy, patted Zhang Hui's shoulder, and said, "If this thing is successful, Ben Shuai will promote you to be a scholar." ”

"Thank you, thank you, for your kindness!" Zhang Hui heard this, and his body was shocked. Without thinking about it, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Lin Haotian.

Before the matter was over, Zhang Hui began to thank Lin Haotian, it seems. He's already confident.

After Lin Haotian consulted the minister to move the capital to no avail, he never mentioned the matter again, and after a long time, the matter was over, and no one talked about it.

More than a month later, on this day, in the early dynasty, after discussing government affairs, when the ministers were about to retreat, Lin Haotian suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhao Yu on the throne and the ministers in the hall: "Ben Shuai had a strange dream last night, in the dream Ben Shuai was standing at the door of the court, there, yes, that's there!" When he spoke, Lin Haotian also stretched out his hand and pointed outside the door.

Everyone subconsciously glanced back, and then looked at Lin Haotian in unison, not understanding why he suddenly talked about his dream in the court.

Lin Haotian bypassed the table, walked down from the throne, stood in the center of the main hall, looked around at the surrounding ministers, and said with a puzzled face: "It was very strange at that time, Ben Shuai was standing at the door of the main hall, and suddenly found that a purple-red light rose in the south, which was beautiful, and looking at the past would make people have an indescribable sense of comfort and peace, you are all capable ministers, who will interpret the dream, help Ben Shuai analyze it, what is going on with this dream." ”

If it is a dream made by others, you can analyze it casually, but this dream is made by an adult, and you are wrong, but you can't eat it and walk around.

Everyone turned their attention to the military advisor Liang Yun and the great uncle Liu Tang, the dream interpretation has to rely on the great uncle, Liang Yun was also born in the great uncle before.

Liu Tang frowned and muttered: "There is purple qi rising in the south, which means that happy events must happen in the south, and the adult is the monarch, and the adult dreams that there is purple light in the south, which means that ...... Description......

"What do you mean?" said Lord Zhang, "Lin Haotian asked impatiently.

Liu Tang bowed and hurriedly said, "That is...... My Daikin's national fortune is in ...... In the South!"

"Ah?" Hearing this, everyone present was taken aback, the fortune of the country is in the south? That is to say, the Jin country should move south? If it weren't for the fact that the identity of the great uncle was too noble and sacred, I am afraid that the ministers present could not help but shout and reprimand.

Liang Yun smiled leisurely and continued: "What the great uncle said is reasonable, according to the dream interpretation of the adult, such an inference can indeed be made. In fact, it is easy to understand that my country has been expanding to the south, and the national fortune is naturally in the south. ”

"What does the military advisor mean that our country is going to move south and move the capital to the south?" Prime Minister Shi Cao Yanqing frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"The fortune of the country is in the south, and the capital should naturally move south. Liang Yun said matter-of-factly.

"What nonsense!" Xiao Xuan stood up to object, and he said with a straight face: "My Dajin has been established for thousands of years, and Wancheng has always been where the fortunes of the country are, how can you say that change will change?" Speaking of this, he sneered again and said: "A while ago, someone actually proposed to the adults to move the capital to the south. This...... Could it be that the military advisor put it forward? The military advisor was originally a special person, but now he is bewitching the adults to damage the fortunes of the country, but he can't avenge the dead You country?"

Xiao Xuan is such a person, he speaks ruthlessly, he can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't care who the other party is.

That is, Liang Yun's cultivation is deep enough. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have turned my face long ago when I heard this.

Even Lin Haotian felt that Xiao Xuan was talking a little too much, his face sank, and he said: "As a doctor of imperial history, Lord Xiao should judge things objectively, how can he arbitrarily buckle the hat of others based on personal speculation?"

Xiao Xuan hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said: "It was indeed a gaffe just now, but the lower officials are also eager to protect the country, and I hope that the adults will understand." ”

For Xiao Xuan. What else can Lin Haotian say about him, this stunned young man is so excited that he even dares to contradict himself, not to mention Liang Yun, who is not from a gold family?

He waved his hand and said indifferently: "I just have this dream occasionally, and I don't understand it in my heart, so just ask casually, and you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" As soon as Lin Haotian's words fell, Xiao Xuan bowed his hand. Singing loudly.

Lin Haotian was happy, and he was happy by Xiao Xuan. He nodded, not saying anything more.

After retreating, when Liang Yun was about to turn around and leave, Lin Haotian stopped him, and then the two walked side by side and walked towards the back room.

Walk on the way back. Lin Haotian said with a smile: "Master Xiao is upright and open-mouthed, if he offended the military advisor just now, the military advisor has to bear with it!"

Liang Yun smiled and said, "From the heart." If you really want to have a relationship, Xia Guan would rather have a straight person like Lord Xiao than deal with a villain who is flattering on the surface but stabbing in the dark. ”

Lin Haotian looked up and laughed, and said, "I can guarantee this, if Lord Xiao wants to knife anyone, he will definitely carry the knife to cut off someone's head openly." ”

Liang Yun was also amused by Lin Haotian's words, and after a pause, he asked, "Has your lord really made up your mind to move the capital?"

Lin Haotian asked Liu Tang and Liang Yun to help him interpret his dream in the court, which was just an introduction he threw out, paving the way for the next plan.

For this matter, he had looked for Liang Yun in advance, but he had not looked for Liu Tang.

Liang Yun is a special person, he does not have such a deep affection for Wancheng as Liu Tang, and Liang Yun is more flexible than Liu Tang, to put it bluntly, Lin Haotian has a premonition that if he finds Liang Yun, he will definitely help himself, and if he finds Liu Tang, the latter will not only not help him, but may even spread his plan and harm his own big things.

Lin Haotian didn't answer directly, but asked: "In the opinion of the military advisor, should the current capital of our country be moved, or should it not be moved?"

Liang Yun was silent when he asked, this question was really not easy for him to answer. Judging from the current situation, it is definitely inappropriate for the Jin State to set up the capital in Wancheng again, but he is not a Jin person after all, and if he supports the relocation of the capital, he will be suspected of subverting the Jin State.

Liang Yun pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be embarrassed for your lords." ”

Although he didn't directly answer his question, as soon as he heard this, Lin Haotian also understood what he meant, and he smiled bitterly: "Since the capital should be moved, then what are you waiting for? Waiting for a big mess to arise in Mudi and Chidi? If the capital is moved earlier, the Jin country will be more stable, but unfortunately, too many people believe in the term 'national fortune', and too many people only have their own one-third of an acre of land in their eyes, completely ignoring the interests of the country." ”

Liang Yun nodded secretly, Lin Haotian is indeed much more courageous than others, tenacious and uncompromising, as long as he recognizes the right thing, no matter how difficult it is, he can persist in doing it, this alone is very admirable.

A few days later, there was a torrential rain in the Wancheng area.

The climate of Wancheng is not good, there are high mountains all around, every summer, the climate is hot, and in winter, the weather is cold and frozen, even if it rains, it is either not raining, it is a few days.

For several days, the sky was dreary, and the dark clouds covered the top, making people unable to lift their spirits.

On this morning, the torrential rain was still ongoing, and when most of the people of Wancheng were still asleep, suddenly, there was a deafening loud noise in the direction of the west of the city.

The sound was so loud that it was as if the sky was falling, and it could be clearly heard for dozens of miles, and the echo lingered for a long time.

At the same time, the whole city of Wancheng was shaking, and many people thought that there had been an earthquake, so they got up from their beds in a panic, and they didn't care about wearing clothes, and rushed out of their homes with rolling belts, and took refuge in the streets.

At this time, it was still raining heavily, and people were bent around the streets, bending their waists, discussing with each other what had happened, where the loud noise just now came from, and why the earth was shaking.

Just when people couldn't figure out what was going on, suddenly, a fast horse galloped in from outside the city.

On horseback was a Jin sergeant, holding in his hand a 100,000 order flag that would only be used when he was in a hurry, and while galloping, he shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get out of the way! Something is wrong!"

The people who had taken refuge in the streets were so frightened that they retreated to both sides, and the Jin army rode all the way to the palace.

Now, the early dynasty of the Jin State has not dispersed, the rain outside is too heavy, although the government affairs have been discussed, but the ministers have not left immediately, Zhao Yu specially ordered people to prepare some tea, melons, fruits, snacks, and the ministers chatted while eating and drinking.

Zhao Yu and the ministers also heard the loud noise just now, and sent people out to investigate, but they hadn't come back yet, and when people were still waiting for news in the court, a Jin soldier who was covered in rain like a chicken in soup staggered in from outside.

After entering the main hall, he fell to his knees with a thud, and his voice changed, almost screaming: "King, the big thing is not good, Hidden Dragon Mountain...... Hidden Dragon Mountain has collapsed!"

"What?" This sentence stunned everyone present, and they sat here, dumbfounded, unable to come back to their senses for a long time. (To be continued......)
