Zhu Di's relocation of the capital to Shuntian is of great significance. People just understood it from his selfishness, saying that Zhu Di's power was in the north, and he didn't want to be controlled by the courtiers in the south, so he insisted on moving the capital.

In fact, Ming Chengzu moved the capital to Shuntian, one is to complete the wish of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has long had the intention of moving the capital to the north, so he sent several of his sons to Shuntian, Chang'an, Jinyang and other important northern towns to be vassal kings, in fact, to investigate which is more suitable to move the capital, Chengzu moved to fulfill his father's wish. Second, it was conducive to the Ming army to resist the Mongol Yuan forces, although the Mongol Yuan retreated into Mobei, although it was decomposed into Tatar Warat tribes, but still opposed the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Shuntian, that is, the Son of Heaven guarded the border, which was convenient for dealing with the Mongolian issue, which was helpful for Zhu Di's Northern Expedition after that.

"Move the capital, the grass people have some ideas."

"Tell me." Zhu Di gently put on the tea lid.

"The south is heavy on literature, lazy, difficult to forge ahead, and there are many ancient and modern dynasties, and none of them can successfully unify the north in the southern and northern expeditions. For example, the Northern Song Dynasty could still go on a northern expedition to confront the north, but when the Southern Song Dynasty arrived and set the capital of today's Nanjing, they did not think about making a map and ruled by dividing the river. The warm breeze smoked the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou was regarded as Bianzhou, which was the best portrayal of that time. ”

"Go on."

"The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, where are our enemies? In the east is the sea, no, Annam in the southwest, Tatar and Warat in the north. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that the Ming Dynasty and Tatar Warat border tens of thousands of miles, and they are our henchmen. is ambitious, and often wants to enter the Central Plains. ”

Zhu Di stopped and put down the teacup and motioned for Chen Yuan to continue.

"What if the Tatar Wara enters the Kou, the news from the north reaches Nanjing, the ministers discuss it, and then issue an order to the north, back and forth, the Tatars can enter the Shanhaiguan. In order to avoid this situation, the only way to do this was to strengthen the forces of the northern vassal kings and give them more independent military power, but the division of feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty is still written in the annals of history, and the vassal kings are too big, which is definitely not a good thing for the central government. "The vassal king has always been Zhu Di's heart disease, Zhu Yunwen just saw the threat of the vassal king, so he focused on cutting the domain, but unfortunately he used too much force, Huang Zicheng was very incompetent, he could only talk highly, and finally let Zhu Di pick up the cheap.

After the Jing Martyrdom, Zhu Di also cut the domain, but the means were much milder, and he lost his strength, and the vassal king had a living space, and he had no strength at all, so he was at peace.

"Therefore, the grass people think that moving the capital to Shuntian is a wise decision of His Majesty, and they can send generals to guard the Tatar Warat outside the Great Wall, so that they can attack Mongolia and sweep the desert, and the Son of Heaven will guard the country and protect the Ming Dynasty."

"Well said!" Zhu Di was full of energy, and he stroked his palms excitedly, "The Son of Heaven guards the country and protects the country, which is a good point." The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one could understand my mind. ”

Chen Yuan knew in his heart that there must be someone in the court who understood, and they were not stupid people, they would not be able to see this, but even if they saw it, they didn't want to say it, Zhu Di wanted to move the capital, and the prince didn't want to move, it was their father and son's business, what did they mix. And most of the officials' roots are in the south, who wants to go to the north to drink the cold wind.

Chen Yuan didn't speak, eating pastries inadvertently, staring at the chessboard.

"This prince of mine is hesitant, timid in doing things, and it's okay to keep it, but he can't make progress. What about the second child, I have never given up, you say, if I change the prince, will I be able to solve a lot of problems? ”

Seeing that Chen Yuan stared at the chessboard and didn't answer, Zhu Di let out a "hmm".

Chen Yuan "came back to his senses" and said ashamedly: "What did Your Majesty say just now? I'm ashamed, I just thought about chess and was distracted. ”

Zhu Di scolded with a smile: "You little slippery head, just go down here today, I should go back." The exam is not over yet, Yang Shiqi has to concentrate on the imperial examination, Jian Yi has to maintain the living life of the scholar, and the excerpts from all over the country are piled up on my case, I will not go again, Xia Yuanji's pile of old guys, it is time to come to Jiming Temple to invite me. ”

At Chen Yuan's house, Fan Niangzi was busy going in and out, killing chickens and repairing ducks, and kept shouting: "Big man, help add firewood." ”

"Big man, help me get a basin."

"Big man—"

Her family was making a big fuss, and she didn't know the truth, and she thought it was a big event in the family.

Chunhua stood in front of the stove, tied a floral blue cloth apron, and skillfully waved a shovel. Chop vegetables, add oil, sprinkle salt, and the sound of sizzling comes out of the pot, and after a while, it emits an attractive fragrance. She couldn't do needlework, but her cooking talent was very high, and not long after she came to Chen Yuan's house, she contracted the task of cooking rice and stir-frying.

Stir-fried a few side dishes, then added water to the small pot, added condiments such as sour soup and peppercorns, and put a few slices of fatty meat, next to the washed cabbage, as well as onions and garlic, lean mutton, placed on separate plates, snow-white tofu.

This is Chen Yuanjiao's simple hot pot method, at this time there are no chili peppers, but there is sour soup, but it is not the taste of later generations.

In winter, the weather is very cold, and the stir-fry is cold as soon as it comes out of the pot. So Chen Yuan moved the hot pot of later generations, and the weather in spring was sometimes cold and hot, so Chunhua continued to make hot pot.

"Young Master, I'm back." Hearing the sound of the door, Chunhua immediately jumped to the door happily and opened the door for Chen Yuan.

When Chen Yuan saw the prepared meal, he muttered in his heart, this, what's the situation.

"Sit down, aren't you hungry? You're not hungry, we're hungry. Fan Niangzi looked at her son stunned and urged him.

At the banquet, Fan Zhong muffled the rice, Chen Yuan looked at Chunhua with doubtful eyes, and Chunhua said sweetly: "Today, a guy from the ceramic shop sent a bowl, and the shopkeeper of the cloth shop came to the door to measure the clothes for the young master." ”

"Huh?"

Fan Niangzi said: "Look at what you can do, don't care about the big things, if you are not there, I will use your clothes to make a sample for the shopkeeper Gu." We are also decent people now, and there is no furniture in the house or anything. When the time comes, you will get married, and you will go to buy it at once, where will you be in time. ”

"What? Get married? Chen Yuan's mouth was full of rice, one head and two big.

"Why, are you going to wait for my mother and me to die before you agree? The old lady has been deteriorating in the past two years, and the day before yesterday I went to see the doctor, and the doctor said that she had become ill from hard work and counted the days. Fan Niangzi squeezed out tears.

Chen Yuan was dumbfounded, he remembered that the old lady was in good health, she was alive and kicking, and she had just eaten three bowls of rice, is this true? He subconsciously looked at Chunhua, Chunhua was about to say, Fan Niangzi was winking, she tilted her head, embarrassed to eat vegetables.

Suddenly, the heart is urging marriage, which era exists.

I thought I got rid of it in the afternoon, and I came to this one in the evening.

"I've seen it with my husband, March 15, it's appropriate to sacrifice the wolf, pray for the spoke, get married, and be lucky. Tomorrow we bought a gift and went to the door to propose. ”

"Huh?"

"Ahhhh Are you still waiting for someone to bring the girl to your door? ”

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, get married, this is really not the time, pity the hearts of parents all over the world. On the stall, such an old lady doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. went around and came back, but it still became an arranged marriage.

Although he had already decided to marry Dong Mingyan, he was still caught off guard.

"Fan Zhong, you see, we are about the same age, and you are not married yet, can we-" Chen Yuan made a final struggle.

Fan Zhong said honestly: "Young master, I think the old lady is reasonable, Fan Zhong has no object, the young master is different, he has a marriage contract with Miss Dong, what is that, what you scholars say, I don't understand, what is affectionate and what is righteous." Can't live up to other girls. ”

Chunhua blinked her sparkling eyes and said, "Young master, I think Miss Dong is very good, she is kind and has no shelves." I heard Brother Fan say that there is a beautiful girl who came to the field to see you, she is the daughter of a big official, young master, we can't wait for her. Speaking of muttering at the back, I was a little aggrieved.

Chen Yuan laughed and laughed, well, the united front, he was isolated.

Get married! Chen Yuan silently thought, this is the pain of the previous life, in this life, it can't be repeated again, and it won't be repeated.
