Chapter 6: The Son of Heaven Guards the Country
Yao Guangxiao entered the palace.
He is not only a confidant of Emperor Yongle, but also a monk, with this dual identity, it is more convenient for him to enter and leave the palace than ordinary ministers.
Emperor Yongle set up the Wenlou today, and just finished the feast.
Obviously, Zhu Di was very dissatisfied with the scripture feast, his displeased appearance, after hearing that Yao Guangxiao had met him and announced that he had entered the Wenlou, he snorted coldly: "The ministers will say that they will teach by their bodies, and show the people what they can follow; Take the Tao as the rule, and turn the people into a Buddha rate...... This..."
Yao Guangxiao hastily interrupted Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, the poor monk has just returned from Hu Yan's house. ”
Zhu Di said: "How? ”
"The poor monk tried his hand at it."
"Huh?"
After that, Yao Guangxiao told him about his affairs in the school, and then, the eunuch who came with him came in with a stack of 'songs'.
Zhu Di smiled reluctantly: "It's just a few vertical pieces, why bother so much." ”
Yao Guangxiao smiled but did not speak.
Zhu Di said: "It's okay, then let's take a look at how much knowledge these shafts have." ”
Whether it is Zhu Di or Yao Guangxiao, there are no high expectations for this, what insights can a group of teenagers write?
These 'songs' are the same as they think, most of them taste like chewing wax, and they can't arouse the interest of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao in the slightest.
Therefore, the two of them picked up the music and looked at it without a match, and chatted at the same time: "Has the will of the prince been issued?" ”
"It's time to send it out."
Zhu Di glanced up at Yao Guangxiao meaningfully.
The word "should" is very mysterious.
The implication is...... This matter was not handled by Yao Guangxiao, and he did not ask about it.
Zhu Di retracted his gaze, nodded his head, but in the next moment, he suddenly scolded: "Full of nonsense, what is this kid stuffing in his head?" Straw? ”
Yao Guangxiao glanced at it, but it was Zhu Yong's recital.
Zhu Di's face was pale, but he still held back, and then opened the next book, and when he looked at it again, his eyes were straight, and his beard began to tremble.
Yao Guangxiao: "......"
This piece is even more magical, it is actually a blank.
Just two words...... Zhang Xuan!
Zhu Di broke the defense.
His face was slightly red, his chest was heaving, and he couldn't say a word.
Yao Guangxiao was also speechless at this time.
But a moment later, Zhu Di's eyes were faintly covered with a layer of fog, and he ...... after all A drop of liquid burst out of his eyes.
Zhu Di sniffed, this person who had killed in the chaos of the army and had never changed color in a river of blood, was actually in tears.
Zhu Di covered his face with long sleeves and choked up: "What a good man Shimei (Zhang Yuzi) was back then, how could he give birth to such a dog thing, if he had a spirit in the sky and knew that the heir was unbearable to this point, he would definitely blame me for not taking good care of the Zhang family...... Tiger father dog son, tiger father dog son! “
Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty mourns, after all, he is still a child. ”
"It's like this at a young age, and when you grow up, you can pay it back?" Zhu Di gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, and said angrily: "His father broke into the enemy army in order to save me, and died in battle. I can't be sorry for him, Zhang Xuan's shaft lacks discipline, so I will discipline him personally. ”
Then he pointed to the scattered notes on the imperial case, and couldn't help but scold: "Look at these people...... Is there any one who can make a difference? Their father and brother, which one is not a dragon and phoenix among people, it can be seen how lax the discipline of them is on weekdays! ”
As he spoke, he picked up one of the notes, opened it, and said viciously: "Look, look at what's written...... The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the foolish ministers think ...... The key to the Ming Dynasty is to move the capital ......"
Got it here......
All of a sudden, Zhu Di suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This was originally a piece of music that I picked up casually, but at the beginning, the five words of the Son of Heaven guarding the country suddenly hit the depths of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao's hearts.
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, and they were dumbfounded for a while.
Especially Yao Guangxiao, his expression was extremely solemn, he pondered for a moment before he said, "Your Majesty, this son...... How do you know this? ”
Zhu Di has also collected his tears, and Yao Guangxiao's words are very famous.
What is the Son of Heaven guarding the country, that is, moving the capital to Beiping.
Why move the capital to Beiping? Some people in history once said that because Zhu Di was once named the king of Yan, his residence was in Beiping, so he had feelings for Beiping.
Of course, this is by no means the real reason.
The fundamental reason is that a person as eloquent and strategic as Zhu Di certainly knows where the biggest drawback of the day is.
Although the Ming Dynasty dominates the world, the trouble of the heart will always be in the north, and although the nomads in the north have suffered heavy losses, their strength is still not to be underestimated.
At this time, the entire Ming Dynasty fell into a terrible situation, and in order to guard against the north, it was inevitable to gather elite troops.
The line from Nanjing to Liaodong and Yanyun is thousands of miles, and the emperor has no control over the army, and now these border armies can still be controlled, but it can be said that over time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a situation of feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty.
Of course, when it came to the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the border army from sitting big, I thought of a good way, that is, to strengthen the weak branches, that is, to train the most elite soldiers and horses in the world as a forbidden army, and all of them were stationed in the capital, all under the nose of Emperor Laozi, and there was no problem of arrogant soldiers.
And this kind of disadvantage is also great, the world's elite soldiers have gone to the capital to station, the strength of the border town must be insufficient, so the Liaojin and the Mongols rose, and the Great Song Dynasty court had to blindly take compromises and retreats to them, and the situation of the unification of the world was burned.
Zhu Di has been in the border town for a long time, of course, he knows that Daming will definitely encounter this problem in the future, and this problem is almost unsolvable.
Either let the border army sit big, or give up the border defense of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the military system of the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, it is unacceptable to him.
After the success of the Jingnan, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao discussed this issue.
In the end, Yao Guangxiao proposed a strategy to move the capital to Beiping.
As long as the capital is moved to Beijing, then the world's elite soldiers can be arranged in the Beiping line, these soldiers will be under the emperor's nose, do not worry about the situation of separating the feudal towns, at the same time, Beiping was originally a border town, once there is a northern barbarian invasion, the world's elite soldiers are not only the forbidden army of the emperor, but also the border army stationed at the border pass, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Zhu Di actually made up his mind to move the capital at this time.
Merely......
Zhu Di held the song in his hand, still thinking about it, because a new problem had arisen again.
Moving the capital is a matter of great importance, once the capital is moved, not only will it cost countless money and food, but more importantly, the emperor will go to Beiping, so the civil and military officials will also move with it.
But these civil and military officials, as well as countless noble ministers, have all lived and worked in peace and contentment in Nanjing, not to mention, compared to this prosperous Jinling, Beiping can almost be regarded as a bitter cold place.
At this time, Zhu Di had just ascended the throne, and the people's hearts were undecided.
Therefore, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao's strategy in the end is that this matter cannot be rushed, and this matter must be kept secret, and no rumors must be revealed.
Can ...... now A teenager actually got on such a recital.
Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di, with suspicion in his eyes, as if to say, did Your Majesty leak this matter?
Zhu Di also looked at Yao Guangxiao with suspicious eyes.
But in an instant, both of them let go of their suspicions, because they knew each other, they were both prudent people, and the stakes were high, and they would never leak a word.
Zhu Di said: "Could it be this kid...... Figured it out yourself? ”
Yao Guangxiao asked, "Who is this person?" ”
Zhu Di looked down at the payment, and was dumbfounded.
He slowly said a name: "Zhang Anshi...... Is Zhang Anshi ...... Isn't that ......?"
Yao Guangxiao coughed: "What Your Majesty said is the wife and brother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
Zhu Di lowered his head to look at the song again, and the song not only proposed that the Son of Heaven should guard the country, but also made this reason clear.
Zhu Di couldn't help but say: "This person's handwriting is like a dog crawling, but the writing is very clear, a boy like this, he has this insight, isn't he full of evil?" ”
Speaking of this, Yao Guangxiao thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to see than to hear, and the rumors in the market are not enough to believe." It's just that...... How can this be done? ”
Yes, it was originally a survey, but it turned out to be a big fish.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, he twisted his eyebrows, and suddenly bared his teeth and sneered: "A kid like this, shouldn't have this knowledge, is it the prince......
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao immediately showed joy: "Then, the poor monk will congratulate Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Di also felt relieved when he heard it.
He doesn't like the prince, on the one hand, the prince is too fat and not like a human king, and on the other hand, he thinks that the prince likes to mix with a group of rotten Confucians, full of benevolence and righteousness, such a person...... You can be a scholar, but you will never be a good emperor.
As an emperor, how can a woman be benevolent?
But if this is really related to the prince's teachings, the prince has such a strategic vision, and it will inevitably impress people.
I saw Zhu Di waving his hand and said: "This matter, you don't have to continue to ask, if you ask again, it is inevitable that rumors will spread in the world about moving the capital, now is not the time, these things, I know, you know, the prince can know it tacitly." ”
After that, Zhu Di couldn't help but show an angry face, and said indignantly: "The other children, I see that they are all bastards, looking for a few special bastards in it, and cleaning them up for me, especially that Zhang Xuan, I don't break his legs on behalf of his son, it's really hard to calm down!" “
"Really fighting?"
Zhu Di said with a straight face: "Fight!" ”
The two agreed, and Yao Guangxiao said coldly: "Has Your Majesty forgotten that not long ago, Your Majesty had a will, and I would like to ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
Zhu Di's face suddenly froze.
