Chapter 272: The Dispute over the Relocation of the Capital
readx;?β But I still have to discuss it with my master, I can't do it behind the back of the second child of the Zhu family, but our boss didn't move at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Info: Well, it's not bad to ask the Great Hall to go down and visit those military generals. Those civil officials, hey, as long as they grasp their ugly things in their hands, they are afraid that they will fly into the sky?" Thinking of this, Lu Feng sighed with heartfelt emotion: "It is really a good thing to have power in your hands." β
There was the sound of the floor tiles being shattered, and the black iron tower-like kitten laughed weirdly, threw the iron rod in his hand, and rushed towards Lu Feng. "Haha, Fengzi, are you back? Xu Qing, that bastard, what did you say, you are not allowed to move a penny of silver, so that I invited Boss Zhao, they have no money to drink wine and eat meat. Hahaha, it's good that you're back. Behind him, several palace guards with blue noses and swollen faces wanted to chase but didn't dare to chase, but they couldn't do without chasing, so they could only cover their swollen faces and follow behind with depressed faces.
Seeing the kitten's anxious appearance, Lu Feng knew that Xu Qing definitely didn't give him good fruit to eat. The kitten knew how important Xu Qing was to Lu Feng. Although this guy doesn't show up on weekdays, he actually secretly helps Lu Feng do things, and he knows how many troublesome things he does, and he is a character that Lu Feng can't lack. So although he was a little annoyed that Xu Qing didn't give him money for wine, the kitten didn't provoke him.
The two also do not ride horses. They got into a carriage together, and the soldiers of Jinyiwei and the kitten surrounded the carriage tightly, and walked towards the headquarters of Jinyiwei. The kitten in the carriage immediately became serious, and his face frowned: "Zhu Xuan sent a lot of people to Ying Tianfu to contact those generals, Fengzi, this news should have reached you, right?"
Lu Feng nodded and signaled that he had just gotten the news. The kitten pulled the whiskers with his hand and asked a little puzzled: "It's strange to say that he is honest and his prince." Is it true that he really wants to rebel when he is still hooking up in the court?" hesitated for a moment. He continued: "But what about it, if the emperor is his eldest brother, maybe he will really succeed in the rebellion, but the current emperor is his Lao Tzu, and those generals are all loyal subordinates of his Lao Tzu, what can he do?"
Lu Feng sat on the stool, lifted Erlang's legs, and said nonchalantly: "Let him go." Hey, what else can he Zhu Xuan do? It's nothing more than building momentum. He estimated that the emperor would not have a good life for a few days, and he was going to cheat in the court. He smiled treacherously: "Where is there such a good thing, I gave Zhu Di a method of cultivation, if Zhu Di cultivates well, it will not be a problem to live for another two hundred years, he Zhu Yu will wait slowly." β
The kitten suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Isn't that including our master?" If you want to be an emperor, it depends on the mood of this person now?"
Lu Feng was about to nod and say yes, but suddenly there was a loud shout outside: "Catch the thief, catch the thief." A thief who grabs wine and drinks in broad daylight. Catch the thief ......" A white light flashed, sweating profusely, Shui Yuanzi grabbed two huge jars and rushed into the carriage, panting, he scolded a little angrily: "Grandpa, I'm going to steal his wine, this is to give him face, why are so many people chasing after me? Doesn't it mean that the people of the Ming Dynasty respect the gods very much? I am also a living immortal." β
Lu Feng turned his head and spoke, the kitten slapped Shui Yuanzi's head aggressively, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, old boy, the people of the Ming Dynasty respect Zhang Sanfeng, not you, the old boy." Although Xu Qing's kid refuses to give us the money, you can't steal it, how much do you have to worry about a little face? β
I really couldn't hold it back, Lu Feng laughed violently. Laughing at him and shaking his head, there was really nothing he could do with these two guys. Xu Qing didn't give them the silver, could it be that they were really poor to this point? The kitten was a general, and he could lend a large amount of silver taels when he went to the military department to borrow it, not to mention how many people rushed to give him the silver. Thinking about it, it was also the kitten who was afraid of causing trouble to himself, so he simply didn't accept those bribes, right? Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but be a little moved.
He muttered in a low voice: "It's still our kitten, it's not like some old and respectable guy who actually went to the restaurant to rob the wine court, and the face of the court has lost all your face." β
Shui Yuanzi hummed, grabbed the jar and poured it into his stomach, pretending not to hear Lu Feng's words. Lu Feng shook his head helplessly, too lazy to pay attention to this old and disrespectful immortal, turned around and told the kitten about Zhu Di's announcement of his intention to move the capital, and the two began to think about what position they had to stand in this turmoil in order to please Zhu Di again and not offend those old-fashioned ministers.
Inadvertently, Lu Feng told the kitten about what he had encountered Xiao Longzi, the kitten trembled, fell to his knees on the floor of the carriage, looked up at the sky, and muttered: "The sky has eyes!"
Lu Feng pursed his nose disdainfully and said coldly: "Cangtian? Cangtian has long been blind. This is the master, his old man's own luck, not the thief's benefit."
After a night of silence, early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Di first announced the promotion and reuse of Lu Feng, requiring him to be loyal to the country. And Lu Feng also looked conscientious, and said in a panic and panic. In short, the two of them staged a set of tricks of a good minister. Subsequently, because he was crowned a prince of the country, Lu Feng's position in the military general class in exchange for the cultivation mantra immediately took a big step forward, that is, under Zhang Yu's ability. Instead, he overpowered Li Jinglong.
Zhu Di looked at the military general's train with satisfaction, and thought in his heart: "No wonder I always feel that something is wrong when I was in the early dynasty recently, and the feeling is that you Li Jinglong is standing too far ahead." Not true. It is to promote a few people like Lu Feng who can do things for me and give me practical benefits, and put you Li Jinglong over...... Hmph, my father was afraid that your old son would be able to fight and poison him to death, could it be that I, Zhu Di, would you rest assured that you Li Jinglong? You are also a relative of my Zhu family! I don't know what you are thinking in your heart!"
After thinking about it like this, the officials of the six ministries stepped forward one after another to tell the things that needed Zhu Di's instructions. There was no major event, and during Zhu Di's Northern Expedition, Zhu Xi took care of the imperial court affairs in Yingtianfu in an orderly manner. Where would there be too many tails left for Zhu Di to have a chance to teach him a lesson? Watching the officials of the six ministries come forward is to say some trivial things. Zhu Xi, who was standing beside Zhu Di, couldn't help but smile with joy on his face, and he was very happy for what he could do.
Zhu Di watched with satisfaction at the officials of the six ministries, who were proficient in government affairs from the things they reported, and he knew that Zhu Xi had done a good job during this period. At that moment, Zhu Di said gently: "During the Northern Expedition, your family worked hard. Well, you've done a good job, but you'll have to work harder in the future. Zhu Xi hurriedly smiled and thanked Zhu Di for his praise.
Seeing the happy faces of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces. Zhu Di nodded and said in a deep voice: "You have important things to announce this time. This Northern Expedition, you have also seen it, if you don't fight head-on with our Ming army, we can't help them on the grassland...... When our army entered the steppe, they immediately wandered in all directions, and they could not inflict a real blow on them. And as soon as our army retreats, they will be able to make a comeback. even directly coerced Juyongguan on the front line. β
After a pause, Zhu Di said a little annoyed: "Especially the Yuanmeng Tatars colluded with the Northeast Jurchen and other clans to occupy countless territories of my Ming Dynasty. I can't tolerate this. Therefore, I felt that I had to find a way to build a Xiongcheng in the north to facilitate the conquest of the remnants of the Yuan and Mongol tribes and the Jurchen barbarians. The north is unstable, and the Central Plains is unstable. Only by consolidating the rule of the northern land, can our country in the Central Plains be impregnable. β
The ministers didn't hear what Zhu Di meant, and they all said: "Your Majesty Shengming is indeed like this. β
Zhu Di saw that all the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty were full of praise, and couldn't help but show a happy smile, and nodded again and again: "This is very good, since all the ministers think that it should be like this, then I have decided to move the capital...... Moved from Yingtianfu to the former Yanjing City, now Beiping. β
The court immediately fell silent, and Lu Feng, who was full of ghosts, rolled his eyes around, trying to figure out the thoughts of those civil and military ministers. Monk Daoyan was the first to stand up and praise with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, Shengming, Your Majesty is wise...... If the capital is moved to Beiping, it can concentrate all the best forces, financial resources, material resources, and manpower to shake the Yuan Dynasty and deter the Jurchens. After the north is stabilized, we can establish the iron bucket of my Ming Dynasty. β
Monk Daoyan glanced at Lu Feng and signaled that Lu Feng was about to say something. Lu Feng pondered for a while, smiled incomprehensibly, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Lord Dao Yan's words are extremely true. If Beiping is the capital, one million soldiers and horses can be concentrated in the north, and the coalition army of those barbarians can be steadily overwhelmed in terms of military strength. Whether those barbarians are attacking from Juyong Pass or Shanhaiguan, the army of this dynasty can attack head-on, and they can't be presumptuous. β
From an operational point of view, Lu Feng continued to count: "From an operational point of view alone, taking Beiqing as the capital can accumulate a large number of troops, grain, grass, ordnance and materials in Beiping. As long as we want to fight, we can go north to Juyongguan at any time to attack the Yuanmeng Tartars, and completely change the situation in which the Yuanmeng Tartars take the initiative to harass the Central Plains. Under the sudden attack of the invincible iron cavalry of this dynasty, even if he Chi Meng'er and the others were as cunning as foxes, there was no reason to escape with their whole body this time. β
"Once he can escape, twice is considered lucky, and three times is blessed by their ancestors of Yuanmeng. But every time they have to leave some corpses behind? What is the total population of their Yuan Mengtars? "Lu Feng has already thought about it, and on the issue of moving the capital, he naturally wants to follow the emperor. The emperor said whatever he wanted. As long as they don't offend Zhu Di, no matter how much those civil officials hate themselves, what can they do? Can they send people to stone themselves to death with pen and ink?
Zhu Di applauded and praised kindness: "However, what Daoyan said is extremely true. What Lu Qingjia said is also deep and sincere...... Moving the capital to Beiqing can indeed change the passive situation of our dynasty fighting against Yuanmeng and Jurchen. As long as the north is stable, the Central Plains will be stable. With a smile on his face, he hoped that no one would say anything against him. The matter of moving the capital is settled.
But those who are not afraid of death still have land. I watched the university scholar Xie Jin walk out slowly and slammed his head on the ground, when His Majesty the capital of the country, the important place of the country, the place where the temple artifact is located. The fundamental shaking of the country that is easy to move is not good for the country...... Emperor Taizu must be in the sky, and his heart should be in accordance with the heavens. You can move the capital lightly...... Yuanmeng Jurchen moss. If you make a big move for it, you will spend your national strength and shake the fundamentals. β
Xie Jin took the lead, and immediately those old-fashioned civil officials all jumped out, and they didn't care about the way of the monarch and the minister, and let go of their voices, and criticized the disadvantages of moving the capital. In short, their central argument is nothing more than that the capital should be heaven, and it is the family law of the ancestors, which can be shaken indiscriminately. Otherwise, where would the dead Emperor Taizu be placed? In addition, moving the capital is a major event, how much money is spent on moving the capital at one time, how much grain is wasted, and how much people's power is wasted, this is absolutely unavoidable. There are even alarmists who say that once the capital is moved, it is very likely that the country will be wiped out.
Zhu Di drooped his eyelids and didn't say anything for a long time. Wait until these two dozen old ministers have said about it. He coughed softly and asked, "So you guys think." How can we deter the north?" his fingers flicked slightly, and he wanted to personally hack to death all the civil officials kneeling below.
Xie Jin straightened his neck and said: "Yi Er is nothing more than a garrison, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to garrison a million troops in Beiping Mansion to lead the army to lead the army to the north to break the Yuan and Mengdong to reject the Jurchens." β
Lu Feng shrugged his shoulders lightly and exchanged glances with the kitten and Monk Daoyan. The kitten looked at Xie Jin as if he were an idiot. The monk's eyes revealed a thick murderous aura, gloomy eyes could freeze people into ice sculptures, and the Buddhist beads in his hands were spinning like windmills, showing how angry he was.
Zhu Di smiled gently: "What did Xie Qing's family say...... If the million troops are stationed in Beiping, who will lead the army? If the million army is placed in the Beiqing Ying Tianfu, who will defend it? If the million army is not supported by Xiongcheng in the north, how much grain will be needed to transport all the grain, grass, and other materials from the south? Aren't these ministers not calculating?"
The generals were silent, who would dare to say anything? Could it be that they dared to say that they were going to lead this million-strong army? Zhu Di had to cut off his head on the spot. They also knew that Zhu Di was right, that if Beiping was built into a heroic city, that would not be able to support hundreds of thousands of troops on its own. The amount of grain and coins consumed was at least ten times that of the local collection, and that would really make the Ming Dynasty bankrupt overnight.
But you don't have anything to say to these civil officials. They have a reason, that is, the capital must not be moved, Emperor Taizu set Ying Tianfu to be the capital, and Ying Tianfu should always be the capital. If you Zhu Di insist on moving the capital, then it's fine...... Xie Jin had already taken off his hat, stretched his neck, and shouted: "The minister is dedicated to the country's plan, if Your Majesty does not listen to the advice of the minister, please cut it down." β
'Teng Teng Teng' Xie Jin simply crawled on his knees and crawled in front of Zhu Di and stretched his head to Zhu Di's feet.
When those civil officials saw someone taking the lead, they took off their crown belts and stretched their necks like a group of old turtles, crawling forward desperately, crying and shouting for Zhu Di to cut off their heads. Suddenly, a group of strange scenes appeared in the court, and the generals stood there honestly, looking at their mouths, noses, noses, and hearts, as if they were mud fetuses. The civil officials, especially those in their seventies and early eighties, stretched out their necks one by one, and the old elders were thrashing desperately on the ground. Lu Feng rolled his eyes and obediently retreated to the middle of the class. Monk Daoyan snorted coldly, closed his eyes, sat on the specially arranged Taishi chair for him, and spoke. Zhu Xi looked at the old ministers at his feet blankly, not knowing what to do. Zhu Di's murderous fist was clenched tightly and there was a 'crackling' sound.
If possible, Zhu Di really wants to kill all these old ministers. Kill them so that they don't get in the way. But he can't kill this group of old guys, and if the disciples and grandchildren kill him all over the world, the daily administration of the Ming Dynasty will collapse. Especially after the slaughter of so many civil and military ministers, the remaining ones are the only remaining characters in the court of the Ming Dynasty who can still support the faΓ§ade...... If Zhu Di didn't want to get a few butchers to come to the court, all of these old guys could move. Those who could take their place have been killed.
Smiling reluctantly, Zhu Di nodded and said in a low voice: "So let's discuss this matter again...... Retreat. He waved his sleeves, stood up, turned around and left, and didn't bother to wait for the ministers to send him off.
Lu Feng's ears were sharp, and his thoughts shot out slightly, and he could faintly hear Zhu Di roaring in the deep palace far, far away: "If they don't let me move the capital, I will cook the raw rice first...... Director Lu asked Lu Feng to show me the death of this group of civil officials, they let me be happy, and I won't let them be happy. I can't kill them, but I can toss them! I'm the emperor, I'm the emperor!"
Lu Feng smiled bitterly, he looked at those Wenchen who were slowly getting up, and couldn't help but have a headache: "How do these masters toss them?"
