What kind of person is Zhu Di, no one can persuade him to do what he recognizes, and he directly issued a holy decree.

If you want to put it on hold, this matter is settled, but this time it is different, the relocation of the capital harms the interests of all officials, and they will not easily compromise.

The Hanlin Academy does not draft, and the Ministry of Rites does not issue it.

Zhu Di made another order, and the ministers had no choice now.

The emperor's holy decree is only valid after being issued by the Zhongshu and Menxia Province, and Lao Zhu abolished the prime minister system, so the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, under normal circumstances, is drafted by the Hanlin Academy and issued by the Ministry of Rites, but the decree is different.

The decree is issued directly from the inner court without going through any department, although it does not go through the Ministry of Rites, it is still valid, and in this era of the supremacy of imperial power, the emperor's words are the legal principle.

To put it bluntly, most of the decrees are helpless actions of the emperor who can't afford to play and use the emperor's power to force hundreds of officials.

Generally speaking, the emperor is reluctant to use the middle decree if he can do without the middle decree.

The Ministry of Rites still has the power to return the drafted decree, but the decree directly issued by the emperor has already been closed, and they are helpless.

Unless they resist!

But no one dared to resist the decree, especially in the face of an emperor like Zhu Di.

However, there are policies and countermeasures, and they dare not openly resist the decree, but they are not without a way.

So, the drama of hundreds of officials kneeling at the palace gate was staged, blocking the palace gate tightly, and persuading Zhu Di to think twice in the name of filial piety, asking the queen to be buried as soon as possible and buried in the ground.

Zhu Di looked at these courtiers with honey swords and was furious.

"Your Majesty..."Li Qing persuaded, "The mountain is high and the road is far away, and it is not good for the mother to bump along the way, so it is better to go to Shuntian first and choose an auspicious place, and then it is not too late to be buried when the mausoleum is completed." ”

He knew that if the fourth child broke the rules again, most of them would have an accident, so it was better to give the ministers a buffer time first.

Zhu Di was still annoyed, but Li Qing's words were not unreasonable, and he nodded lightly: "Tomorrow's northern tour, you will accompany you." ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves angrily and turned to leave.

Li Qing looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart, the matter of moving the capital was really tricky.

He didn't have a good solution, so he went to find Chubby to see if he had a good plan.

"Nope." Chubby shook his head, very simply, "This matter cannot be resolved peacefully, violent means are indispensable;

However, it is best to talk about it in a few years, and then move the capital after the momentum of the stalling into the acres has passed, and move the capital in a short period of time, and there will be chaos. ”

After a pause, "I'll try my best to appease here, but on the father's side, you also have to persuade you, and you can't spoil the good situation because of the relocation of the capital." ”

"I understand that." Li Qing was a little worried, "Can you handle it here?" ”

"I'm not sure, let's try." Chubby sighed, "It's not okay to move happily, as long as I don't make a big mess, I'll be satisfied." ”

Li Qing was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you agree with moving the capital?" ”

"In the long run, the benefits of moving the capital outweigh the disadvantages." Xiaopang nodded, "If you don't move the capital, it won't be many years before the imperial power will be hollowed out by the southern family and follow the old path of the Northern Song Dynasty;

The father's move was far-sighted, although Jinling was rich, it was not the best choice to do Kyoto, it ...... It's too stingy;

The Ming Dynasty was an orthodox unified dynasty, and the location of Kyoto had to be strategically important. Chubby sighed, "Actually, I would prefer to move the capital to Luo. Yang, or West. Ann, but ...... Forget it, Suncheon is not bad either. ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Those two places are indeed suitable for Kyoto, but they are not suitable for the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. Yang, West. Ann, I'm afraid it's ......

As you can see, if you really want to go to those two places, you might make some kind of trouble. ”

"yes!" Xiaopang rubbed his eyebrows, "There's something I'm not convenient to say, Brother Qing, tell your father!" ”

"What?"

"He took Zhanji on his northern tour this time." Xiaopang said seriously, "The emperor in the future must be Emperor Wu, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress the hundred officials;

Zhanji can't learn from me, he can only learn from his father. ”

Li Qing nodded: "This is easy to say, the emperor is a treasure to the grandson, and he will not refuse if he thinks about it, I will tell him later." ”

"Hmm... There are also the second and third children. Xiaopang said, "Those two goods are really simple, the other is fake and shrewd, and the father is not in Beijing, so the two of them will not be used." ”

"Okay." Li Qing promised, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, take care of your body." ”

"Hey~ I have a big heart, my innocence has fallen, isn't there still a father, I'm not in a hurry."

"You have to keep that mindset." Li Qing said lightly, "Okay, I'll go to the emperor." ”

~

"I was going to take Zhanji with me." Zhu Di said, "But it's better for the second child not to let him go back first, with him, the boss can be a lot easier, the court battle can't be too intense, but it can't be completely absent." ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that King Han can really make trouble?" ”

"Just him?" Zhu Di sneered, "The boss has the ability to get into trouble, but he doesn't have it." ”

Li Qing is helpless, Zhu Di's suspicious personality is more serious than Lao Zhu, at least Lao Zhu does not doubt his son.

"Okay, go back and get ready, let's go tomorrow."

"Can I bring my family?" Li Qing asked.

Zhu Di's face was gloomy, "Don't force me to fan you." ”

“……”

——

Early the next morning, the emperor toured north, and hundreds of officials went out of the city to see each other.

Facts have proved that the ministers are still very well-behaved, and the emperor took a step back, and they also took a step back, leaving a line for each of them, and not doing things absolutely.

These old oilmen of officialdom know how to measure the most.

Of course, the main thing is that the ministers understand that they really forced this master to be in a hurry, and he really dared to kill people.

Zhu Di's style of doing things, like Zhu Yuanzhang, and even some things are more ruthless than Zhu Yuanzhang.

For example: exploitation of the gentry!

……

On the dragon chariot, Zhu Di was silent, looking at the scenery outside the window, Li Qing was not the first time to sit on the dragon chariot, his expression was flat, leaning against the window on the other side, lifting the sedan curtain to enjoy the scenery, Zhu Zhanji in the middle was very uncomfortable.

At his age, it is the time when he can't be idle, and it is better to stay in the sedan chair than to ride a horse outside.

However, he didn't dare to say it, he had made up his mind before this trip that he must make his grandfather happy and stabilize the status of the prince.

There is no way, the second uncle is eyeing him, and he has the potential to make a comeback, so he has to work hard.

Zhu Zhanji has been patiently silent and does not disturb his grandfather to enjoy the scenery, but after a long time, he can't sit still.

He tugged at Li Qing's sleeve, Li Qing turned his head, "What's the grandson?" ”

"Nothing." Zhu Zhanji smiled and whispered, "Let's change positions." ”

Li Qing also whispered: "Don't change." ”

"You ......" Zhu Zhanji was helpless and begged in a low voice, "For the sake of Xiaopang, you can change it with me, I feel uncomfortable." ”

"Muttering about what?" Zhu Di put down the sedan curtain, and his gloomy face turned around.

"No, nothing." Zhu Zhanji knew that his grandfather was in a bad mood, so he waved his hand again and again.

Li Qing didn't have any scruples, "Taisun thinks it's too stuffy here, and wants to go out to breathe." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanji, "Go out!" ”

"Grandpa, I'...... The grandson retired. Zhu Zhanji nodded in disobedience, like a licking dog being scolded by the goddess.

~

Zhu Di exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

"I don't know." Li Qing shook his head.

Seeing that the fourth child's face was even darker, he hurriedly picked up the conversation, "What is the emperor thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking......" Zhu Di sighed, "If he really moves the capital one day, will he move back after I die?" ”

"Probably not!"

Historically, after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping, it was decided, and there was no re-moving of the capital.

"I think it might be." Zhu Di said, "In the past, the construction of a new capital and the canal cost a lot of money to the imperial court, and I also felt that my body could bear it, so I dispelled the idea of building a mausoleum, and now it's time to put it on the agenda." ”

The emperor's mausoleum is generally built at the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, and Zhu Di has not built it until now, which is also commendable.

Originally, when he was in the seventh year of Yongle, he was preparing to build it, and at that time, the hundred officials also agreed, on the condition that the Xindu and canal projects should be slowed down, because the treasury expenditure was too fierce.

Zhu Di's temper came up, so he simply didn't build it.

And this time, after the pain of losing his wife, it hit the fourth child very hard, and he began to think about his posthumous affairs.

The ancients attached the most importance to the afterlife, and the emperor was even more so.

Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "Only by burying it in Shuntian can I completely break the thoughts of those guys." ”
