Chapter 321: Your Majesty, I Really Don't Have Any Money
Yao Guangxiao reacted almost immediately, and said categorically: "Don't listen to rumors, the prince is cunning and resourceful, vicious and shameless, this is him sowing discord, how could Your Majesty say such a thing." ”
Yuan Hui also hurriedly said: "If Your Majesty says such a thing, how can you make you the crown prince and Zhan Ji the imperial grandson?" ”
The prince glared at them, and there seemed to be a voice roaring in his heart, he had always liked Gao Xu, maybe he wished I was dead, and now that the court was defeated everywhere, he must regret making me the prince.
Yao Guangxiao saw that he didn't speak, and immediately said: "The poor monk can swear, Your Majesty has never said this, His Royal Highness the Prince, we must work together now, as we did in Beiping." ”
Yuan Hui immediately followed: "Yes, Weichen also dares to swear, if this thing is true, the whole family will not die well-"
Boom, after Yuan Heng finished speaking, he faintly felt as if there was a thunder in the sky.
He suddenly came back to his senses, his sons were all dead, and an inexplicable wave of goosebumps and embarrassment surged up on him, he looked up at Yao Guangxiao with a weak heart, and found that Yao Guangxiao seemed to be a little weak-hearted.
The two suddenly made this oath and suddenly regretted it.
Zhu Gaochi saw the two of them swearing, and his expression looked a little better.
He looked at the two of them with a wry smile, and sighed: "I sometimes tell the truth, if I can give up the position of the crown prince and calm the war, I am really willing." ”
Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Heng glanced at each other and didn't speak, but they were thinking in their hearts that it was too late now.
The two were very optimistic about the prince before and supported him, but today's prince's words made the two quite dissatisfied.
It is not a good thing that the crown prince cannot withstand a major setback.
When the three of them were talking on the side, Shousuke Xie Jin stood alone in the distance sullenly, and his expression didn't seem to be very good.
The year before last, Zhu Di decided to attack Annan, Xie Jin, as in history, expressed his opposition, and then Zhu Di, as in history, began to alienate Xie Jin after the success of the expedition to Annan.
This Zhu Di is also a talent, before the successful conquest of Annan, he still praised Xie Jin everywhere, probably because he was afraid that he would fail in the fight against Annan, and then it would be proved that Xie Jin was right.
After pacifying Annan this year, Zhu Di Longyan Dayue proved that he was right, and then changed his normal state and began to alienate Xie Jin.
In March of the fourth year of Yongle, (March 20, 1406), Ming Chengzu went to Taixue to pay tribute to Confucius, Xie Jin and others followed, Zhu Di ordered Xie Jin and others to sacrifice ten philosophers and two houses, and gave Yang Shiqi and others two gold woven Luo clothes, but there was no Xie Jin.
In the original history, Zhu Di had not yet pacified Annan, so he had the share of Xie Jin, and after pacifying Annan, he did not give Xie Jin.
These second-class members all have gold weaving clothes, but Xie Jin doesn't, it's quite faceless.
The key is that the courtiers saw the emperor's attitude towards Xie Jin, so everyone subconsciously kept their distance from Xie Jin.
Of course, Xie Jin has always been more self-righteous, and he doesn't have much interaction with other people.
Not long after, the king of Han reversed, Zhu Di asked Xie Jin to read the text in the court, if Xie Jin was smarter, he would definitely find an excuse not to read it when he saw the text, and then demean Zhu Gaoxu, most of which could save the impression points in Zhu Di's heart.
As a result, the two goods were read out according to the script, and Zhu Diqi's brain hemorrhage.
Later, Zhu Di asked him to write an essay, demeaning Zhu Gaoxu, it must surpass Zhu Gaoxu's essay, which is longer than Zhu Gaoxu's, Xie Jin directly said that he couldn't write a longer one, and the essays in history were not so long, and Zhu Di was half angry.
At this point, Xie Jin was sent to the cold palace.
Originally, according to the original historical development, Xie Jin might soon be relegated to the outside of the capital, but now that the imperial court is quelling the rebellion, Zhu Di is not interested in moving him.
At this time, Xie Jin was standing in place, recalling that he hadn't done anything wrong recently, why didn't the emperor seem to like him anymore?
He was pondering himself when a figure suddenly flashed beside him.
Xie Jin turned his head to look, and it turned out to be Huang Huai.
In the second year of Yongle, the two were appointed as examiners at the same time, and during that time, the relationship was good.
Huang Huai patted him lightly, signaling to go to the back and stay away from the crowd, as if he had something private to say.
This has to be put aside, Xie Jin will most likely spray him in person, if you like to say it or not, Lao Tzu will stand here.
However, he has suffered some setbacks recently, and he is probably a little reflective, so he hesitated and took a few steps back.
The two walked to a corner away from the crowd.
"Your Majesty may want to move the capital." Huang Huai whispered.
“。。” Xie Jin was stunned, and didn't understand what Huang Huai meant for a while.
Huang Huai said again: "If someone mentions it, don't object to it." ”
Xie Jin's brain is different from others, and after listening to it, he decisively asked: "The Imperial City of Beiping is still under construction, how can Your Majesty decide to move the capital so quickly?" ”
Huang Huai looked at Xie Jin like an idiot, this person is talented, and the political system is really negative.
He bowed his head and whispered: "The imperial court has been defeated in the three provinces, and Your Majesty may want to return to Beiping." ”
Zhu Di probably felt that Nanjing was not safe, the rebels had entered Huguang and occupied Sichuan, and Fujian was also in the hands of the rebels, and the rebels could attack Nanjing from several directions at any time.
But Zhu Di can't flee to Beiping now, so he has to find an excuse, such as moving the capital.
Xie Jin said loudly: "Although the imperial court was defeated in the three provinces, there are still millions of troops, how can Your Majesty move the capital?" ”
Brush, many officials in the distance looked over and pricked up their ears one by one.
Come on, you are a fool and a second goods, Huang Huai originally saw that when he was an examiner with him, the cooperation was not bad, and he kindly reminded him, but he didn't expect Xie Jin to be a second goods.
He stopped speaking for a moment and took a few steps back, away from Xie Jin.
After a short time, the gate of the imperial city palace opened, and the ministers came to Fengtianmen in order.
When the ministers of civil and military affairs stood up according to their positions, Hou Xian shouted loudly, Your Majesty has arrived.
Zhu Di came to the scene with a gloomy face, and the ministers knelt down three times to shout long live, and after a set of procedures came down, they got up one after another.
Hou Xian shouted again at this time, there is a book, and there is nothing to retreat from.
As soon as his words fell, Yang Shiqi stood up and had his own play.
Zhu Di pretended to ask, you say.
Yang Shiqi said that Beiping is the land of Longxing, which is very close to the Great Wall of the border pass, and the imperial court can effectively mobilize and manage the border army to resist foreign enemies, and the Son of Heaven guards the country, which can make the imperial court more determined to resist in the face of crisis.
As for whether this crisis refers to the remnants of Mengyuan or Zhu Gaoxu, it is not clear.
After Yang Shiqi spoke, Yang Rong, Hu Yan and others expressed their agreement.
But most of the books were silent.
After Zhu Di came to power, he was close to the cabinet members, and many important matters were discussed with them, but the six books were like clerks, and everyone naturally didn't want to say more.
The hall was quiet for a moment, and Zhu Di did not say anything.
After a while, someone in the crowd stood up: "When the imperial court is using troops, and Your Majesty is building Beijing, you are anxious and worried, the work is complicated, the scheduling is very extensive, the redundant officials are encroaching, and the national reserve is consumed, please think twice." ”
These words were extremely serious, brushing, Zhu Di's face was red at that time, he blushed and stared at the past, annoyed and angry.
But Zhu Di didn't say anything and continued to sit on the spot.
The ministers turned their heads one after another, and I went, it turned out to be Zou Ji.
Zou Ji was an assistant teacher for the prince when he was in Jianwen, and after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was promoted to the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and then entered the East Palace and became a person next to the prince.
It should be said that Zhu Di still appreciates and appreciates him.
In history, Zou Ji suffered from back gangrene, and Zhu Di also specially ordered the officials to send doctors to treat him, and he valued him very much.
Unexpectedly, it was Zou Ji, who Zhu Di took a fancy to, and actually said such heavy words.
In fact, Zou Ji means that the imperial court is using troops to quell the rebellion, and you are still building the imperial city of Beiping on a large scale, and Zhu Gaoxu is paying officials all over the world.
I don't know if there is any last meaning, but among the many ministers on the scene, there must be many people who think so.
Everyone didn't dare to say it before, because Zhu Di is unreasonable and likes to use power to suppress.
In history, Zhu Di either dismissed the ministers who opposed the relocation of the capital, or killed them directly, unreasonable, and then everyone did not dare to oppose it.
Now that Zou Ji has gotten up, everyone saw that Zhu Di still didn't snort, so they became more and more bold.
Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, stood up: "The minister has a play." ”
"You say." Zhu Di spit out two words quietly, his voice was extremely heavy, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
Song Li stubbornly said that the place in Beiping was still relatively poor compared to Jiangnan, and the large demand for materials in Beijing could not be solved nearby, so it had to rely on the Grand Canal to transfer from Jiangnan.
As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Song Li said very much on the score.
What's the use of your Jingshi not having Cao Yun? It can't work, and you've moved so many people.
Zhu Di also attached great importance to the original history, and in the eighth year of Yongle, after returning to the division in person, he ordered a meeting to open up the river and open up the north-south Cao Yun.
This project was extremely huge, and it used a lot of manpower and financial resources, and it was not completed until the thirteenth year of Yongle, and the materials needed by Beiping could be transported relatively economically.
You see, it was all the people who worked hard to open the canal and moved the capital, the emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not sit firmly, and he became a famous faint monarch, and Zhu Di sat firmly, and he became a wise monarch through the ages.
Yang Guangna can open the canal, it is really a disadvantage in the present and a benefit in the future, Zhu Di is purely for the materials of the Beijing division and does it for his own enjoyment.
If he doesn't move the capital, you see that he can't get through the river.
To say that Zhu Di certainly understands this truth, without the canal, the cost of material transportation in Beijing will become extremely large, but he can't wait to open the canal.
The rebel Zhu Gaoxu is going to fight, so he has to be prepared with both hands.
Zhu Di thought about it, and finally said in a deep voice: "The matter of Beiping has been talked about from the first year to the present-——"
He wanted to say that he had made up his mind, and this thing must be done.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, someone below shouted: "Your Majesty, there is really no money." ”
The ministers looked back and saw that it was Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department.
Xia Yuanji ignored Zhu Di's dark face, stood up and said: "What Your Majesty wants to do, the minister raised his hands in approval, but now he really has no money and can't move." ”
He directly said that he couldn't move, and he had no money.
Hiss, Zhu Di gasped, his face was black and smelly.
After he came to power, he never stopped spending money, first building the imperial palace in Beiping, then conquering Annan, and raising the reward for pirates from hundreds of thousands to 7.5 million.
He really thought that the silver fell from the sky, if Chen Zuyi hadn't been caught by Zheng He, the Ming Court would have been funny and embarrassed if he couldn't get the 7.5 million.
Zhu Di resisted the urge to be angry, and asked in a deep voice: "How much silver is left in the household?" ”
