Chapter 96: Moving the Capital

"Forget it, father, it's almost done." Chubby persuaded, "I can't kill any more." ”

"No, it's not over."

Zhu Di made it clear this time that he wanted to do things absolutely, and his temperament was the same as his father.

Either don't do it or do it!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, taking advantage of the generals' return to their hearts and not pulling out the cancer, once these people are powerful in the future, it will be extremely difficult to do it again.

"Gao Chi, you won't be a good emperor in the future." Zhu Di's tone could not hide his disappointment, "Only when the country is strong can the people be rich, but the people are rich does not mean that the country is strong;

I know that you care about the people and want to be a benevolent monarch, but if the national strength is not strong, how can the people live a good life?

The Song Dynasty was the richest, and despite the corruption of officials and the power of the family, the lives of the people were still much better than those of the current Ming Dynasty;

But... What if you don't have a strong national power and the enemy comes in?

Without the protection of the state, the people are lambs to the slaughter, fish and meat, to be taken and desired. ”

Zhu Di said categorically: "It's easy to be an emperor who is loved by the ministers and praised by the people, but... This is just what the world thinks is a good emperor;

Your kindness will leave hidden dangers for the kings of future generations, and will leave hidden dangers for the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xiaopang said helplessly: "Father, the son wants the people to live a good life, but it will not be at the cost of losing national strength, and the sons are not as unbearable as you say;

The sons and daughters are merciful because of you, the emperor...... You have to neutralize it, don't you? ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense, but ...... Forget it, I don't think you can get tough. ”

After a pause, Zhu Di said seriously: "Your Renjun character can be maintained forever!" ”

"Huh?" Xiaopang's face was full of surprise, "What does Father mean by this?" ”

"I have a prospect." Zhu Di's dislike for the good eldest was overflowing, "Besides, you are not a child, after a hundred years, with him taking over the army, I have nothing to worry about, as for how you are, it doesn't matter." ”

Xiaopang's face was hurt, "Father, you are too much, I have done so many things, if you don't praise me, forget it, and always belittle me, I have a credit for the society." ”

"Look at your fat!" Zhu Di said disgustedly, "It's like a stone mill, how can you have a little imperial style." ”

"No man shall be a man, no ...... the sea"

Zhu Di didn't look away, no longer looked at him, "Let's go." ”

“……”

Jinyiwei went out in an all-round way to search for the demon woman Tang Sai'er, and for more than a month, he was stunned and didn't find this person.

It was as if Tang Sayer had disappeared out of thin air, or rather, it didn't exist in the first place.

Zhu Di was extremely annoyed, but he was helpless, so he turned the muzzle of the gun and directly investigated the officials in Beijing, mainly focusing on the civil officials in Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, nothing was found.

There was no evidence of collusion among officials, and everyone was innocent.

Zhu Di couldn't accept such a result, so he grabbed Xiaopang and beat him, "Are you shielding those officials?" ”

"Wronged!" Chubby wanted to cry without tears, "What's wrong with me?"

Father, you know me, I don't have the guts! ”

Zhu Di kicked again angrily, "Get out!" ”

——

failed to achieve his goal, Zhu Di was unwilling, so he asked Li Qing to think of countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, stop it!" Li Qing didn't want him to do it like this anymore, at least not now, "Move the capital first, nothing is as important as moving the capital." ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and nodded lightly: "Now that all the ministers have agreed to move the capital, Ming'er will let Qintianjian calculate the auspicious day and move to Shuntian Mansion as soon as possible." ”

However, he still does not give up, his personality dictates that Zhu Di is not ordinary suspicious, because of Jianwen's disappearance, he always has a feeling of 'there are always Diao people who want to harm me'.

For so many years, he hasn't slept a single solid night, and he doesn't even trust his own son, which shows how suspicious he is.

"Li Qing, what is the reason why you can't find out?" Zhu Di said, "But it's okay to say it, it's okay to involve the prince." ”

"First of all, exclude the prince." Li Qing smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, he is your son, you grew up watching, don't you know who he is?" ”

Zhu Di was silent, "What's the problem?" ”

"It took so long for the investigation to begin, and it was enough for them to calmly arrange and destroy the evidence." Li Qingdao said, "Perhaps, when the imperial court sent troops, they began to operate;

As for Tang Sayer......"

Li Qing frowned and thought for a while, "I suspect that this is a person made up, maybe it doesn't exist at all, didn't the counterinsurgency generals say it, from beginning to end, I haven't seen this girl." ”

"It doesn't matter if Tang Sai'er has someone else or not, even if it really exists, and it doesn't matter if he escapes, after this matter, the White Lotus Sect will no longer be able to become a climate." Zhu Di waved his hand, "What I'm worried about is that those people can do it without leaking. ”

After a pause, "Do you think it's possible that the top management of Jinyiwei was infiltrated or bought?" ”

Zhu Di has this suspicion, mainly because Ji Gang was co-opted by Hanhan.

Even Hanhan's kind of foolish goods can win over Jinyiwei, so that his trust in Jinyiwei is almost gone.

"Hmm...... This possibility is not ruled out. Li Qingdao said, "But it doesn't matter......"

"It doesn't matter?" Zhu Di raised his voice.

"Move the capital, move the capital as soon as possible." Li Qing said seriously, "Nothing is more important than moving the capital, Your Majesty, while it's hot...... Ah no, while all the officials agree, let's move quickly!

Don't let Qintian supervise the auspicious day, let's move first, the original plan was to move the capital in early March, this is May, and it can't be delayed any longer. ”

He said bitterly: "No matter what the emperor wants to do, when the relocation is completed, it will not be too late." ”

"Look, you're in a hurry, it's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry." Zhu Di teased, "Don't worry, no one dares to stop the relocation of the capital this time." ”

~

said so, but Zhu Di still listened to Li Qing's words.

The next day, the relocation of the capital was proposed, and only two days later, the relocation was officially carried out.

The Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate took the lead, followed by the six departments, the mainstream nobles, the grandson Zhu Zhanji personally led 10,000 Beijing troops, transported grain and grass to Shuntian by means of transportation, and then Xiaopang led his wife and children to move to the new capital.

Zhu Di was in charge of the army and did not move.

The relocation of the capital was more troublesome than expected, and the move began in early May, and it was not until August that the yamen of the various ministries were in place, and of course, during this period, political affairs were also dealt with.

The folds handed by officials from all over the Ming Dynasty were split into two, half of which was sent to Zhu Di, and the other half was sent to Zhu Gaochi.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the grandson Zhu Zhanji played successively, saying that everything was in order, and respectfully asked the emperor to move.

Zhu Di was still not in a hurry, and sent a personal eunuch to investigate, and after getting confirmation, he led the army to Beiping like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws.

……

When the dust settles, winter begins.

The officials temporarily lived in the yamen, the military generals temporarily lived in the barracks, and the nobles were treated the best, and they lived in the collective public waiting house.

Although it was slightly crowded, the conditions were already very good in comparison, and at the same time, the imperial court also gave a subsidy policy for the ministers to choose from.

Li Qing was the last one to go to Suncheon, and he was selling.

He is no longer young, and he is not many years away from retirement, even if he enters the career in the future, he can't use the identity of Yongqinghou, he has no son to inherit, so as long as he can sell, he can almost sell it.

If it weren't for the fact that the Hou Mansion was a mansion rewarded by Emperor Taizu, he couldn't sell it, and he wanted to sell the Hou Mansion.

However, Li Qing was not polite, the huge Hou Mansion was empty and very shabby.

After getting an extra sum of silver, Li Qing rushed to Shuntian with the third daughter.

~

A snow in the eighteenth year of Yongle was later than the seventeenth year of Yongle.

However, the hundred officials still can't stand it, they have to get up in the morning and the fourth watch, the wind blows like knives all the way, and the military generals are strong and can bear it, but the civil officials can't.

Once the snow in the north falls, it will be endless, and it will not melt, at first I stepped on a pit, not over the foot and neck, and then it froze hard, and a little carelessly it is 'dog eating', that taste...... Don't mention it.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that when officials went to the court, only those above the third rank could ride a sedan chair and ride a horse, and the rest could only walk.

Of course, it does not mean that people below the third rank cannot travel in a sedan chair, but they cannot travel in a sedan chair.

Nearly 1,000 people go to court every day, and if they all sit in a sedan chair, traffic accidents are likely to occur.

The members of the six departments are okay, but ordinary officials can't stand it, and they can't sit in a sedan chair, and more importantly, they are not qualified to enter the palace.

Among the nearly 1,000 officials, there are only 100 people who can enter the Fengtian Temple, and the rest are standing outside the palace.

The cold wind is cold, the snowflakes are flying, their hearts are cold, and people are also cold, and they have nothing to love, whining and mourning.

This official of the Ming Dynasty is too difficult, right?
