Chapter 64: Traveling North with the Driver

In the early court of Fengtian Temple, the ministers were chattering and quarreling, and Zhu Gaoxian was wearing a pro-dynasty costume and standing in front of the Jinluan chair to take a nap.

"Ahem." As the old father-in-law of Prince Qi, Zhang Fu coughed lightly, suggesting that Zhu Gaoxian should pay attention to his manners.

This is the Fengtian Temple, is this the place where you doze off!

"Huh?" Zhu Gaoxian woke up from his sleepiness, and his eyes revealed confusion, "What's the matter, you retreated?" ”

Zhang Fu almost collapsed when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is looking at you." ”

Zhu Gaoxian looked at the Jin Luan chair and really found that Zhu Di was also looking at him.

He smiled and whispered, "Father-in-law, you are not doing this authentically, why didn't you call me earlier." ”

Zhang Furen was numb.

"That's it!"

Zhu Di, who was sitting on the Jinluan chair, interrupted the speeches of the ministers, "The matter of moving the capital has been largely decided, and I don't want to hear any more remarks against the relocation of the capital in the court!" ”

The controversy between the DPRK and China this morning revolves around the matter of moving the capital.

Because the Ming Hongwu and Jianwen dynasties both ascended the throne in Jinling City, and Zhu Di ascended the throne in Jinling City, but Zhu Di, who has been living in the north for so many years, does not like the climate here, he has always wanted to return to Shuntianfu, after all, Shuntian is the starting point of his pursuit of the world, and there is also the foundation he has laid for many years.

But it is obviously not enough to move the capital on this basis alone, the relocation of the capital is not his business alone, and it needs the support of civil and military officials.

However, it is obvious that the officials are not willing to support Zhu Di's relocation of the capital.

The Ming Dynasty has been founded for decades, and large and small groups of forces have gradually formed in the capital division, and their foundation is in Jinling City, if the capital is moved, it will inevitably affect their foundation. Moreover, the weather in Shuntianfu is very cold, and the officials who are used to the four seasons of Jinling City are not willing to run over to suffer from the cold.

It's just that a great change that occurred in the seventh year of Yongle gave Zhu Di a good reason to insist on moving the capital.

In August of the seventh year of Yongle, the 100,000 troops of the Qiguo Gongqiu Fu expedition to Mobei were annihilated, which made Zhu Di angry and ashamed, not only decided to drive the expedition in person, but also to harvest enough victory fruits at one time, so in the second year, Zhu Di led an army of 500,000 to Mobei.

With such a large number of troops, it was necessary to have a city suitable for repair to rely on, so Suncheonfu began to show its strategic significance.

Although Emperor Taizu Gao defeated the Yuan Dynasty, but Mongolia is the "base camp" of the Yuan Dynasty, they are still eyeing the Central Plains, if the capital continues to be set in Jinling City, the entire northern region still has the possibility of becoming the main battlefield, so Zhu Di moved the capital to Shuntian, and hoarded the main forces of the Ming Dynasty in the north, so as to have the confidence to continue to fight with the Mongolian and other nomads, so that the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.

It's just that because of the flood in Shandong, the transportation project of building the Shuntian Palace was delayed, and the ministers who were unwilling to move the capital found an opportunity to jump out directly, and opposed the relocation of the capital under the pretext of "God is not beautiful".

In order to shut up these people, Zhu Di said loudly: "I have decided to inspect Shuntian to reassure the people!" ”

"Next, I will tell you about the list of people who will accompany the northern tour this time......"

Zhu Gaoxian smiled when he heard this, and even the list was sorted out, the old man had already prepared to tour the north in Shuntian.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty kept honking non-stop, which was useless, and no one could shake the emperor's thoughts.

Zhu Di handed the list that had been written long ago to Tang Cheng, and the great eunuch recited it.

"After my northern tour, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi supervised the country, and the prince and young master Yao Guangxiao assisted ......"

Hearing the name "Yao Guangxiao", Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but look at the old monk who stood at the head of Wenchen.

Yao Guangxiao, this is a man of God, although he is a monk, he is doing rebellion, the biggest conspirator behind the Battle of Jingyan, assisting Zhu Di to defeat the world.

After Zhu Di became emperor, Yao Guangxiao was appointed as the monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi, worshipping the good doctor and the young master of the prince, and was known as the "black-clothed prime minister".

Later, Zhu Di ordered Yao Guangxiao to return his hair to the vulgar, but Yao Guangxiao refused. Zhu Di gave him a mansion and a palace maid, but Yao Guangxiao still did not accept it, but lived in the temple, put on court clothes when he went to court, and changed back into monk's clothes after retreating. When he went to Suhu for disaster relief, he went to Cheung Chau and distributed all the gold he received to the clansmen.

Whenever Zhu Di traveled back and forth between Jinling and Shuntian, as well as the conquest of Mongolia, Yao Guangxiao stayed in Jinling City to assist the crown prince Zhu Gaochi in supervising the country.

……

Yao Guangxiao, who was wearing court clothes and had a flat face, may have noticed that someone was watching him, and looked sideways at Zhu Gaoxian with his cruel triangular eyes.

This face looks like a monk, and he is clearly a heinous villain!

Zhu Gaoxian bowed his hand slightly, showing full respect to the old monk.

He should indeed be grateful to this old monk, if it weren't for Yao Guangxiao's constant fanning the flames to persuade Zhu Di to rebel, he should not be King Qi now, but a king. In addition, there is another possibility, that is, Zhu Di was forced to rebel due to Jianwen's reduction of the domain, but because he failed to rebel without the assistance of Yao Guangxiao, a top strategist, he was finally deposed as a concubine, and Zhu Gaoxian also ended bleakly.

"King Qi...... It's kind of interesting. After observing King Qi's face, Yao Guangxiao evoked a smile.

……

"Accompanying the northern tour, led by the guard general Fan Zhong, the pro-army, accompanied by Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qi, Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson, and Hu Guang, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, and ...... cabinet scholars."

Zhu Gaoxian listened to it with relish at first, but the more he listened, the more wrong he became.

How can this be accompanied by the name of King Qi in the list of the Northern Tour!

Fan Zhong, the guard general, has always been Zhu Di's personal bodyguard leader, and it is very reasonable to serve as the commander of the pro-army.

And Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson, has been following the emperor blindly for so many years, and the cabinet scholars accompany him to teach, which is also very reasonable.

But what did Zhu Di do when he took King Qi to the north!

The emperor is on his northern tour, how can there be a reason for the prince to accompany him!

……

After Zhang Fu heard that King Qi was accompanying him on the northern tour, he looked at Zhu Gaoxian suspiciously: "Why did the emperor let you accompany the northern tour?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian responded depressedly: "Where do I know, the emperor wants to come out of the way, who can calculate that there is such a thing." ”

He was not willing to go on a northern tour, Zhu Gaoxian lived well in Jinling City, and lived a happy life with the princess in the palace every day. This northern tour is a few months old, how could he be willing to go.

Thinking that he would have to spend the next few months with his hands, Zhu Gaoxian's heart became bitter.

Damn, I've been single for more than 20 years, and I've finally got off my single, but I still have to rely on my hands to get by!

Zhu Gaoxian's heart had already greeted Zhu Di's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

This old man doesn't do anything day by day, and he just makes some disturbances and harms people.

"Zhu Di nmsl!"

……

"Retreat!"

After announcing his retirement from the dynasty, Zhu Di inadvertently walked in front of Zhu Gaoxian, heard this kid muttering and didn't know what he was talking about, frowned and asked, "What were you talking about just now?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian raised his head and smiled like a peach blossom: "Erchen is wishing the emperor happiness like the East China Sea and longevity with the sky!" ”

Zhu Di touched his chin: "You have filial piety." ”
