Chapter 259: The Forerunner of Moving the Capital
At the foot of the Jilong Mountain in Nanjing, because there is the Huguo Temple Jiming Temple, it is very lively. The pedestrians on the street are endless, whip silk hats and shadows are everywhere, and the place where the Ming Dynasty is the center is rich and prosperous, and it is full of splendid rivers and mountains.
Some nobles make a pot of tea in the teahouse, eat a box of snacks, sit happily, and talk about the world; On the streets, there are people who spit and pretend to be good fortune-tellers; Also, the red men and green women who go in and out of various stores bargain and secretly send autumn waves. Riding a donkey to carry a cart and carrying a sedan chair, going from south to north, running from east to west, bustling, endless, noisy and boiling.
According to the mountain, the ridge is high, the eaves are warped, the white wall of Daiwa is there, just above the gate, a golden plaque is hung high, and it is written: "Qingjiang Building" three words!
Qingjiang Building is a high-end restaurant, which is one of the sixteenth floors of Jinling built by the order of Taizu.
Qingjiang Lou was wrapped up by King Zhao, King Zhao set up a banquet, many court officials came to attend, the beautiful name is called the relocation of the capital to celebrate, of course, in fact, this is the King of Zhao is testing the officials, to see who else dares to object, agree to move the capital, high-ranking officials Houlu, good food and drink, you can go to the restaurant as a paradise, if you oppose again, then continue to live tremblingly.
King Zhao summoned Chen Yuan, that is, the matter of moving the capital, there were always officials who had to compete, and they could not live or die, and every day they had to jump out of the "awe-inspiring" officials to oppose the relocation of the capital. Zhu Gaosui used the punishment, they agreed, and as soon as the criminal law passed, in front of Zhu Di, they changed their words and objected, so repeatedly, Zhu Di was so angry that Zhu Di was embarrassed, and Zhu Gaosui was so angry that he wanted to tear them apart.
He asked Chen Yuan for an idea, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with this idea and invited most of the officials above the third rank in the DPRK and China. Of course, many people, such as Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and others, did not come, and only part of the Han Wang party came. As for the many officials of the Wall-Riding faction who were cramming for the time being, they did not dare not come.
The level of these officials is not low, but they belong to the type of old annihilators, before the situation is clear, they will not easily express their position, they would rather be icing on the cake than charcoal in the snow.
Although the reward of sending charcoal in the snow is greater, once you stand on the wrong team, you may have to "burn charcoal and commit suicide" yourself, and these officials are either high enough, or they are old, or they lack the spirit of speculation.
King Zhao invited them, why didn't they understand, one was to move the capital, and the other was to win over. But once he agrees to move the capital with a clear banner, he will not be able to get along with the prince's party, and if he does not agree, the king of Han and the king of Zhao will not be able to spare themselves.
So they're all on the sidelines.
Zhu Gaosui also gradually had ideas, especially now that the old man looks down on himself a few times and entrusts himself with important tasks. He knew that for the wall-riding faction, of course, he had to try his best to fight for this kind of person, and he gradually understood why the eldest brother stood tall even if he opposed the old man, and why the second brother could always influence the court situation, it was because there were people in the court who supported them.
However, the fact that the university scholar Jianyi was also present was indeed unexpected. Ke Jian sat on the seat, calm, talking and laughing, and did not care about the strange eyes of others. If you don't know the situation, you still think that Jian Yi has thrown himself into the Han King.
In the restaurant, the window lattices carved by varnish pear wood are all opened, and the thin bamboo curtains of Xiangfei are put down to block the sun, and the cool breeze blows in, and the hall is cool.
It was noisy outside, everyone drank and fists, some beautiful maids poured wine, and some old perverts drank very happily. I've been scared for months, but now I finally feel alive. It doesn't matter if he moves the capital or not, it's all the Zhu family, and he will go with them. Why do you have to be a prince's party and be cannon fodder? Many officials secretly made up their minds, and when they went back, they quietly retracted their heads, whether they took leave or pretended to be sick, and never wanted to come out again.
In the private room, there is no cave, Zhu Gaosui and Chen Yuan are dressed in moon-white robes inlaid with soap silk, wearing green scarves, and pushing cups to change lamps. They all wore comfortable and loose casual clothes, wide robes and large sleeves, and were scheming.
Chen Yuan and Zhu Gaosui secretly lifted the curtain to look outside, and then turned around, revealing a smug smile.
The two sides of the screen in the private room block the musicians behind, only the sound of music comes out gracefully, and the red felt is spread in front of the banquet, and several enchanting dancers dance.
"Haha, retreat, you still have a way, come, drink!"
Zhu Gaosui had a good amount of wine, and he was in a hurry to drink, so he bottomed out as soon as he picked up a glass of wine, and after a few glasses, he drank red with a red face.
Chen Yuan raised his glass with a smile, and his eyes swept lightly at King Zhao, looking at his direct gaze at him. Chen Yuan shuddered secretly: "My mother, Lord Wang, don't be so enthusiastic, otherwise others will see you smiling at me like this, and think that we have some kind of relationship, which society has, I heard that the royal family still has the practice of raising male pets——! Chen Yuan got goosebumps all over his body when he thought about it.
Zhu Gaosui didn't know what the other side was thinking, he was happy in his heart, who said that Chen Yuan fell to the prince, no, didn't he think about giving advice to this king, with him, why should this king worry about big things.
"Retreat, I will go north in another month, but the old man hesitates, you say, I want to ask the old man for his life, go north first, and clear the obstacles for the old man, how about it?"
"Wrong?"
"Huh?" Zhu Gaosui was a little puzzled.
"Lord Wang, the prince relies on literati, the king of Han relies on military generals, and now the king of Han still has an iron-clad guard, which is deeply rooted. The prince can't compare with them. ”
The smile on Zhu Gaosui's lips gradually faded, revealing his loss and said: "Yes, the hundred officials either support the eldest brother or the second brother, what do I have?" Retreat, you told me before, let me do things for the old man, and I asked to go north first, isn't that so? ”
Chen Yuan almost fainted with laughter when he heard this, King Zhao's force value is high enough, and he can compete with King Han, but this IQ is really ......
"Lord Wang, you are now a lonely city, if you go north first, this is not in line with the etiquette system, the prince will inevitably find a hundred officials to criticize and write, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will have a heart for you, and he will not be able to do anything. Now your eldest brother is still nominally the crown prince, and your second brother is in charge of the country, what they do is justified. The prince is different. ”
Only then did Zhu Gaosui understand, his eyes lit up and said: "Yes, my eldest brother is still the prince, it's better for me to recommend the second brother to go, so that the second brother is powerful and overthrows the eldest brother, won't I have a chance?" ”
Chen Yuan almost spouted from a mouthful of old blood: "My lord, in this way, everyone will think that His Majesty will change the King of Han, and everyone will support the King of Han, what good will it do to the prince?" ”
Zhu Gaosui sighed, scratching his ears and cheeks: "What can I do about this?" Seeing Chen Yuan's intriguing smile, Zhu Gaosui suddenly realized and said excitedly: "Retreat, you have a way, right?" Let's talk about it. How did I forget you, I have no last resort with you, what else do I have to think about. ”
"Prince, the prince should recommend the prince to go."
Zhu Gaosui was stunned and confused.
Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, and it seemed that the ministers who were drinking a lot of meat and vegetables outside said seriously: "Lord, what the King of Han wants is chaos, and what you want is stability." If the situation in the court is chaotic, the king of Han can take advantage of His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the crown prince, abolish the prince, and ascend the throne himself. Therefore, the prince has to support the prince at this time, only if the prince does not fall, and the two fight for their heads, the prince can see the opportunity to act. ”
Zhu Gaosui's eyes flickered, and after thinking carefully for a long time, he finally understood what Chen Yuan meant, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "In this way, I will become the top of the world in one fell swoop." ”
Chen Yuan smiled mysteriously and pointed outside: "Lord Wang, I didn't say this." "One is to remind the ministers outside that some of them have fallen to King Zhao, and the other is to remind that there are some things that cannot be said yet.
Zhu Gaosui laughed, picked up the wine glass, raised his glass to Chen Yuan, and drank it all.
