"What do I think?" Li Qing didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to suddenly ask himself.

He smiled and said, "What can you think of that?" If you evaluate the most correct thing that the fourth child has done since he ascended the throne, it is to move the capital to Beiping. ”

"Why?" Lao Zhu is interested, and so is Zhu Laosi.

Could it be that the merits of my life are not as good as those of a capital moved to Beiping?

Li Qing took it for granted, if you don't move the capital to Beiping, after the partial necrosis of your family's Ming god of war, Qizhen, will definitely give up the north under the coercion of that group of civil officials.

Well, the representative work of Rose Qizhen, who is known as Yelu Jingjiao and Wanyan Gou, is "I Look at Beiping on the Prairie".

"The capital is in Beiping, and the Ming Dynasty will be a more enterprising dynasty, and whether it is enterprising or not is very important is whether the political center and the economic center coincide. If the political center and the economic center coincide, then the empire is mostly a restrained empire, and then when it coincides with the economic center, it is actually co-ruled by the scholar group. ”

"For these people in the center of the economy, it doesn't do me any good to go to war and go to war, and then I have to bear the cost. So in this case, they are not willing to expand externally, and they will be a restrained empire...... If you don't believe it, think about it yourself, fourth, was there a lot of opposition in the government and the opposition during the Northern Expedition? ”

"What my uncle said is very true, and this is one of the reasons why I want to move the capital to the north." Zhu Di immediately snorted.

"When the political center and the economic center of gravity do not coincide, it is necessary to compensate for the economic center of gravity to make up for the lack of the political center; But at the same time, you have to think about it this way, even if you use the economic center of gravity to supplement the political center, there will be people who are dissatisfied. Not to mention that the North is not a political center? I am afraid that it is not necessary to abandon the north, and the north will also enter a vicious circle. ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment and waved his hand to make a holographic map.

"Let's take the two Song Dynasty as an example, and this is the case in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. In a sense, Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty can be regarded as the front line, because after the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun, Bianliang faced the front line of the border, and a large amount of property had to be transferred by the canal in the southeast region. And you will also find that no matter what the result is, at least the Northern Song Dynasty is still a little enterprising, knowing that the five roads are in the summer, and the one who recovers Yanyun is the king. ”

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the capital was set in Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, and as a political center, it had completely coincided with the economic center, so it was not as good as the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of so-called "progress". ”

As for why he chose this place in Beiping, the fourth child must also have his own considerations. From another point of view, that is, from a geographical point of view, the north of Beiping belongs to the nomadic area, while the south belongs to the agricultural area, that is to say, Beiping is at the junction of nomadism and farming. ”

With Li Qing's words, the map was dyed red to represent the farming area, and blue to the nomadic area, and a star was marked on Beiping.

"The cornerstone of warfare is geography, and the geography of East Asia dictates that the pastoral regions of the North have low-cost horse-producing land that the South does not have, and when combined with the steady productivity of the agricultural areas, powerful armies are born. Whoever masters the border area between agriculture and animal husbandry will master the Wude Heights. The Great Wall is the boundary between agricultural and pastoral areas, and North China cannot be used as the cornerstone to control the agrarian regime of the Great Wall, and there is no national security at all. ”

Some people fantasize that if they are all in the south, the southerners will expand overseas. But history proves that this is not possible at all, and all the gentry in the south want is to live a stable life by guarding one acre and three points of land.

In an agrarian society, if you want to develop to the south, you will definitely not be able to defeat the northerners who have both nomadic and agricultural duality, and if you want to control the north, you can only form an inward-looking continental regime with North China as the core. The most obvious example is the Song Dynasty, which lost its horse-producing land and had no cavalry, so it could only defend but not attack.

As for why the capital of the Tang Dynasty was Chang'an, it was because the military center of the Tang Dynasty was on the Silk Road through the Western Regions and in dealing with Tibet, and Chang'an was the front line adjacent to Tibet. The political center must always overlap with the military center of gravity, otherwise it will be the way to bring disaster. There are so many living precedents, and you can't help it if you don't accept it.

And some people say that in the late Ming Dynasty, the taxes in the south could not be collected...... It has nothing to do with where Dingdu is, the problem lies with the gentry group. If you don't come to a person like a sky-high general, teach the gentry group what to call me a hundred flowers to kill after the flowers bloom, they will never spit out the interests in their mouths.

"So even if there is a rebellion in the south, it will be suppressed by the force of the north; From the point of view of historical experience, even in the nineteenth century, that is, five hundred years later, the cavalry was still in an irreplaceable position. Li Qing finally made a definition: "Therefore, it is the most correct choice for the fourth child to take Beiping as the capital...... But it is none of the above that best proves him right. ”

The three of the Zhu family, father and son, immediately became interested: "It's not these, what is it?" ”

If you can overpower the above reasonable reasons, it must be very explosive, right?

They were right, Ross Qizhen's behavior was quite explosive even if it was placed in the Exploding Realm.

"This also has to talk about your old Zhu family's god of war, the man known as the god of war of the Ming Dynasty." Li Qing smiled: "He fully proved the correctness that the fourth child must be in the north." ”

"Daming God of War?" The three members of the Zhu family became interested at once, especially the old Zhu Di, "Then you have to talk about this Ming God of War!" ”

However, Li Qing didn't want to spoil in advance, but just squeezed his eyebrows and said: "I'll know when you go to see it, I won't spoil it." ”

If Li Shimin was here, he would definitely laugh sullenly, because once the virtuous brother said half of his words and praised him a lot, it would mean that this person was definitely not a good person.

He had suffered a loss from Li Longji, and he originally thought that Li Longji was a good person...... Outcome......

Lao Zhu is now scratching his heart and liver, and he is curious about who this Ming God of War is. But Li Qing didn't say it, and he couldn't force him to ask.

He also knew a little bit of Li Qing's bad taste, no matter how entangled he was with the Ming God of War, he also forced his curiosity down, and asked Li Qing again: "Brother Xian, we remember that you said before that the temple number and nickname of the fourth child are Emperor Taizongwen?" Then our fourth child is really good, and he can be on the same level as Brother Li......"

"Poke, the well-known temple number is Ming Chengzu." Li Qing almost subconsciously gave Zhu Di an eye medicine.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di instantly became alert.

Cheng Zu? That's rebellious! Impossible, how can it be my temple number? Not the default...... Say yes...... Should it be Taizong? How did you become an ancestor?

I just gave a little advice, and then inherited my father's position in order, how did I become an ancestor?

"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

Lao Zhu's eyes are not right, Ming Chengzu? Good boy, what do you mean by this ancestor?

He looked at Zhu Di with unkind eyes, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

"Dad, I didn't, no......" Zhu Di explained in a panic, and at the same time looked at Li Qing with a pleading gaze: "Uncle, hahaha...... Uncle is so funny, why is he still talking and laughing? ”

It's no wonder that Lao Zhu and Zhu Di reacted so much, but the temple number has quite a lot to say. As the saying goes, "ancestors have merit and ancestors are virtuous", "ancestors" are generally given to the founders of the dynasty, and the successors of later generations can only use "zong".

And from ancient times to the present, not counting those who are posthumously sealed, there are only a few who can be called "ancestors". For example, Liu Bang, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, created the foundation of the Han Dynasty; Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, surveyed the disaster and renewed a wave of the Han Dynasty; Liu Bei, the ancestor of Han Liezu, can also be regarded as a ...... Well, there's nothing wrong with being an ancestor. There is also Sima Yan, the ancestor of the Jin dynasty, the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty; Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty; Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty; Kublai Khan, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty......

It can be seen that, in general, the "ancestors" are all founding emperors, and a few are from scratch. Now that you Zhu Laosi have a "Chengzu" temple number, what's the matter, does it mean that we can't fit you anymore?

But at the same time, Zhu Di is also innocent, judging from what he did, as well as the record of "Fengtian Jing Difficult Record", Zhu Di is undoubtedly leaning on himself as the orthodox heir of "Emperor Taizu Gao" Zhu Yuanzhang in this life. Whether it is to smear Zhu Biao or make up a story to say that he is more favored than Zhu Biao, there is only one purpose, that is, to prove that he is the legitimate heir of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now that the descendants have labeled themselves with such a temple name that can be called "great rebellion", how can you let Zhu Di calm down?

Zhu Laosi thought of Zhu Gaochi for the first time, but at the same time he was a little suspicious.

This big fat son of his own family...... It's not the kind of fool with a backbone in the back of his head. In addition, the big fat son himself pays special attention to etiquette, and he also knows that he wants to get an orthodox name, so it is definitely impossible to do this!

Could it be Junki? What's even more wrong, I'm so fond of Zhanji's little bastard, how could he give my grandfather such a big eye?

Zhu Di is really a little confused, so who could do it?

"Brother Xian, what's the matter with this Chengzu!" Lao Zhu looked at Li Qing and planned to ask what was going on.

"Hey, there is one person to mention in this matter......" Li Qing saw that Lao Zhu was in a trance, so he said to him: "It is the one who wrote the song and scolded him for wanting to go to Fengyang to serve an iron rice bowl." ”

"Oh, I remember, Emperor Jiajing, right." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought that it was far enough, it would be a hundred and fifty years later, right?

As soon as he was about to say this, two people came in from outside.

One is chubby, the other is like a skinny monkey.

It is Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, father and son.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochu, the king of Han, was tied up like a pig, Zhu Gaochi immediately stepped forward with concern and prepared to relieve him.

It's not a scene, he has his own brother in his heart.

And Zhu Zhanji is not so friendly, the corners of his mouth can no longer be suppressed, and the two sides together have become the arc of the crooked mouth god of war.

"Prince," Zhu Di immediately beckoned, "I came to see your imperial grandfather, this is your uncle, you should remember." ”

Zhu Gaochi was shocked, and looked at the imperial grandfather who impressed him with anxiety, as well as the uncle Zhu Biao, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Sun Chen Zhu Gaochi, I've seen the emperor's grandfather!"

"The nephew has seen the uncle!"

Zhu Zhanji also immediately stepped forward to salute, after all, it was his great-grandfather and uncle, and it was not the same thing to be there.

"Get up, it's so cold on the ground." Lao Zhu likes Zhu Gaochi a lot, after all, he looks festive.

The most important thing is that Li Qing once praised Zhu Gaochi, saying that he was very similar to Zhu Biao.

Of course, Lao Zhu is not welcome, as long as you are like us, then you are a good grandson!

The old man's point of view is very simple, and the standard eccentric eye.

"Your name is Uncle." Zhu Di introduced Li Qingdao again.

"Grandson Zhu Gaochi, I've seen my uncle!"

"Get up, there are no gifts for the first meeting, so eat this." Li Qing took out a large pill and handed it to Zhu Gaochi's hand.

"Thank you Uncle for the reward!" Zhu Gaochi doesn't care what it is, thank you first.

"Eat it, this is your uncle's elixir, which can cure all diseases." Zhu Di said immediately.

The one that Zhu Biao fed him just now, after eating it, he felt as if he was sixteen years old again.

"He really has to eat, in history, Zhu Gaochi died only ten months after he ascended the throne."

Li Qing's words hit the hearts of everyone present like a hammer, especially Zhu Zhanji behind him.

"Uncle Xie saved my father!" Zhu Zhanji saluted respectfully.

"Oh, no." Li Qing waved his hand, indicating his effort.

After Zhu Gaochi finished taking the medicine, Zhu Di immediately asked, "Gaochi, what temple number do you plan to give me after you ascend the throne?" ”

"My father is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, how dare my sons and ministers trespass!" Zhu Gaochi was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Get up, I'm just asking you, look at how scared you!" Zhu Di said unhappily: "Today in front of your imperial grandfather, you have to make it clear to your father!" ”

"That'...... Uh, Emperor Taizongwen? Zhu Gaochi asked tentatively.

"Look at Dad, I just said that Gao Chi is not that kind of person, right?" Zhu Di immediately slapped his thigh, and then looked at Zhu Zhanji: "Zhanji, what do you think?" ”

He wanted to know who Jiajing was now.

"My grandson also thinks it's very good, the emperor's grandfather Shenwen Shengwu is no less than Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty." Zhu Zhanji immediately patted his ass.

"Don't ask, Jiajing is not the two of them." Li Qing said with a smile: "Jiajing's name is Zhu Houxi, and he is the cousin of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde. ”

After two years, Zhu Yuanzhang will typeset his sons. And Zhu Di's vein, the character is "Gao Zhan Qi sees you, and Hou Zai Yi is often by." Ci and Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou". From the name, you can tell how many generations it is.

"Why! Why does this Zhu Houxi hurt me! "Zhu Di's old blood is about to vomit out, who understands the family, after a hundred years of death, there are children and grandchildren of the ancestors who do things!

"No, could it be that there is something wrong with Zhu Houzhao's line?" As an ancestor, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately grasped the question, "It stands to reason that it should be passed on to Zhu Houzhao's son, and no matter how bad it is, it should be passed on to his brother, why is it a cousin who ascends the throne?" ”

"That's a long story," Li Qing said with a smile: "This has to start with Zhu Houzhao dissolving in water." ”
