Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed, looking at Jin Ying with a bit of approval, but also a bit complicated.
After all, there are still many things that remain unchanged.
Although the occasions are different, whether it is the past life or this life, the scenes are generally the same.
In his previous life, Xu Jue also proposed moving south, and just like now, Jin Ying was the first to stand up and oppose it.
To be fair, Xu Jue's idea of moving south at this time was not completely unreasonable.
For decades after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, successive emperors were wavering about the location of the capital.
Although by the time of the late emperor and present emperor, Beijing's status as the capital was completely determined, both in name and in real power.
However, it should be noted that the imperial edict officially designated Beijing as the capital and Nanjing as the companion capital only in the sixth year of Zhengtong, only eight years ago.
There are precedents of several generations of emperors struggling before and after. It is actually normal for Xu Jue to have such an idea.
Secondly, there is the current reality.
Although Yu Qian has just given everyone a shot in the arm, how much this amount will be needs to be considered.
After all, the army of more than 200,000 people was defeated, and the capital city now only has less than 100,000 combat troops. It really cannot be considered a very optimistic situation.
Of course, this is an obvious reason.
Zhu Qiyu tried to think from Xu Wei's perspective.
This can be seen from past life experiences.
This person loves fame and fortune, is courageous, and will do whatever it takes to achieve fame, fortune, and wealth.
Just imagine, what is the current situation?
The emperor was captured, the army was destroyed, the capital's defenses were empty, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
Although it may be criticized by others for proposing to move south at this time, it may also become a hero in saving the country from danger.
Moreover, the one who calls the shots in Beijing now is Empress Dowager Sun, who will be the one to add King Tan to the throne.
The current Queen Mother came from a humble background. She was originally a woman in a deep palace. She was ranked first in the Sixth Palace because of the favor of the late emperor.
But in terms of courage, she cannot compare with the noble empress Xu of Taizong and the empress Zhang of Renzong.
Although he was calm on the surface when he suddenly suffered such a catastrophe, his heart must be filled with panic.
As for King Yin, he has always been obedient and very cowardly in the hearts of his courtiers. Such a situation must have frightened their hearts.
Although moving south seems a bit embarrassing, it is still a safe way.
Moreover, there are precedents from past emperors, so it is not particularly embarrassing.
At least from Xu Jue's point of view, the success rate of proposing to move south at this time is very high.
Once he succeeds, he will be a great hero in saving the country from collapse.
What's more, the Queen Mother said from the beginning that you can speak freely when discussing matters, and if you say anything wrong, you will at most be scolded.
In other words, give it a try!
If you succeed, you will be successful.
If you are wrong, at least you won't be punished for it.
But what he didn't expect was...
As he expected, Yu Qian, who would be the most opposed, had not yet spoken.
As a minister, Jin Ying stood up and spoke so fiercely.
Logically speaking, Jin Ying was an internal minister in the palace. Although he had the title of Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he could intervene in government affairs.
But shouldn’t he be of the same mind as the Queen Mother?
As for the Queen Mother...
Xu Jue secretly took a look at Queen Mother Sun's expression, and saw that she also looked at Jin Ying with some confusion.
So I felt relieved a little bit.
It seems that his guess was right, the Queen Mother had this idea in mind.
But at the same time, Xu Jue also felt extremely confused.
Since he can guess the Queen Mother's thoughts.
As an internal official in the palace, it was impossible for Jin Ying not to know what the Queen Mother was thinking, so why did he object so fiercely?
Xu Jue couldn't think clearly for a moment, and was overwhelmed by Jin Ying's momentum. He was stunned on the spot for a moment.
Zhu Qiyu sat aside, taking in Xu Jue's various performances and roughly guessing what he was thinking.
It should be said that Xu Jue’s approach is not wrong.
There were precedents to follow, and the situation forced him to do so, and he cleverly relied on celestial phenomena, so he calculated everything to save his face.
but……
The most fearful thing in everything is these two words.
Zhu Qiyu had to say.
Xu Jue is still too young now.
Xu Youzhen, who later planned the coup to seize the family, was not at the same rank at all.
After all, he had only been observing politics in the Hanlin Academy for a short time and had not really participated in government affairs.
So of course, he can't really look at the problem from the perspective of Jin Ying, a big boss who is deeply involved in government affairs.
Xu Jue thought that he had considered every aspect, but little did he know that his mere words almost offended everyone in the palace...
With Jin Ying's sharp shout, the atmosphere in the hall became tense and intense.
The first person to stand up was Hu Hu, the Minister of Rites. He was also an extremely qualified elder. He had been an official since the Jianwen period and was deeply trusted by Emperor Taizong.
As we all know, it was Emperor Taizong who first proposed making Beijing the capital.
"This matter cannot be dismissed. His Majesty Emperor Taizongwen established his capital in Beijing, and all the tombs and temples of our Ming Dynasty emperors are located here. This shows that His Majesty Taizong's heart is that he hopes that future generations will stick to this place, and moving the capital without authorization is not violating His Majesty Taizong's sacred wishes.
Life?"
Hu Hui's words were less intense than Jin Ying's, but their weight was not the same.
Not to mention that the reason given was that it was against Taizong's will. His status as an old man alone cannot be ignored.
Although it is said that the head of the hundred officials now is the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Otsuka Chief Wang Zhi.
However, in addition to being the Minister of Rites, Hu Hui also had a very special identity, that is, he was one of the five auxiliary ministers appointed by the late emperor.
Although he is seventy-four years old, he has rarely interfered in court affairs in recent years.
But as the three poplar trees withered away, the British public did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Today, he is the only auxiliary minister who is still in the government.
If he doesn't speak, that's all.
Whenever someone opens his mouth, his weight will never be lower than that of Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who is the leader of the officials.
This was the first mistake Xu Jue made!
Xu Jue was eager to achieve success, but he never thought of one thing.
That is, among the big bosses who are still alive in the DPRK, most of them were promoted by His Majesty Taizong and the late Emperor, and they are all staunch supporters of making Beijing the capital.
Don't say that it's just in the Queen Mother Sun's mind, there may be some small signs.
Even if the real emperor wants to promote this matter, it may not be easy.
Although the current situation is special, the matter of moving the capital involves all aspects.
It is definitely not something that Empress Dowager Sun or Zhu Qiyu can decide in one word.
The second person to stand up was Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This old man was also an old minister of Taizong.
Although he was not reused until the late emperor, his attitude was very clear.
"I agree, this matter needs to be done with caution. The capital is the foundation of the world, and every move is a major event. Not to mention the mausoleums, temples and palaces of our ancestors are all in the capital, the warehouses and treasury, civil and military officials, and tens of millions of people are also in the capital. We should not take it lightly.
Just give it up."
Chen Yi's words can be regarded as coming from a relatively rational and gentle perspective.
More emphasis was placed on the importance of the capital and the difficulty of moving the capital.
After all, since Emperor Taizong established Beijing as the capital, although the imperial government had many major political affairs during the Renzong and Xuanzong eras, there has never been any actual action.
Therefore, the construction of Beijing as a capital city has been ongoing.
Today, Beijing has become a real capital in a practical sense.
How easy is it to move the capital?
The last person to speak up was Yu Qian, the Minister of War, who Xu Jue initially thought should be the most opposed to moving south.
After all, as an official of the Ministry of War, he would not give up easily.
What's more, Yu Qian has such a tough temper. This was evident from Yu Qian's attitude when he was taking stock of his soldiers.
Naturally, Yu Shilang did not disappoint Xu Jue's expectations, and said frankly: "The situation is so critical now. The current plan is to quickly summon the soldiers and horses from all over the world to defend the capital. Anyone who talks about moving south at this time should be killed!"
The word "kill" came out of his mouth, and the hall immediately became a little murderous.
Although he knew that this was just Yu Qian expressing his attitude, and the court could not kill him because of such words, Xu Jue still couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
Because he finally realized that he might have made a huge mistake.
Although he didn't know where his mistake was, four people stood up one after another and expressed their opposition to the southward migration. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was the target of public criticism.
Without any time to think about it, Xu Jue immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying.
"Our Lady forgives me for my sin, but I definitely dare not have any intention of abandoning the ancestral temple and mausoleum. However, the military strategists have said that a warrior should worry about defeat before thinking about victory. I am in panic, so I say this. I hope that Our Lady will remember you and serve the country loyally.
Forgive me for my sin."
At this time, Chen Xun, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, also spoke out.
"What the minister and other ministers said were all words of loyalty to the country, and I also thought it was right. However, when our Ming Dynasty encountered this calamity, the government and the public were bound to be turbulent, and the people were bound to be frightened and suspicious. Although Xu Jue's words were inappropriate, they were also caused by turmoil.
, the circumstances are excusable, and I ask the Holy Mother and King Tan to forgive me."
After all, they were both members of the Hanlin family, and if they could help, they would help. Chen Xun was a step up.
When it comes to political discussions, Empress Dowager Sun cannot speak easily, not to mention she is still confused now.
But with the steps handed over by Chen Xun, she followed them down.
"Ministers, you don't have to be like this. I have something to say before Aijia. You can say whatever you want. It won't be a sin. Mr. Xu, please stand up."
It should be said that Queen Mother Sun's attitude is relatively good.
Speaking of which, she was actually a little depressed at this time.
At first, it was her who allowed everyone to speak freely, but as soon as Xu Jue opened her mouth like this, everyone targeted her, and even said the words "should be killed", which made her a little embarrassed.
Secondly, although she was unwilling to admit it, Empress Dowager Sun was still a little tempted by Xu Jue's suggestion of moving south.
After all, the current situation is really not optimistic.
Empress Dowager Sun has lived in the palace for a long time and does not know much about military affairs. She only feels that the army of more than 200,000 has been defeated. Now she has less than 100,000 combat troops. If she wants to hold on, she is indeed a little guilty.
But so many people were unanimously against it, so she had no choice but to go along with it.
Xu Jue didn't know what Empress Dowager Sun was thinking.
All he knew was that he barely escaped.
He stood up and stood back in the corner obediently, Mr. Xu comforted himself.
At least the Queen Mother understood him and the risk was not in vain.
Just looking around, I saw that all the ministers were scorning him, and I couldn't help but feel like I wanted to cry without tears.
This court situation is too difficult!
If you are not careful, you will not know which pit you have stepped into.
Apart from anything else, as for what happened now, he still didn't know what he did wrong. How could he become the target of public criticism in such a confused way?
However, the proceedings continued.
Empress Dowager Sun knew the rules of the court, so naturally she would not be as stupid as Xu Jue.
Although with the words of several ministers, the matter has been settled, after all, Zhu Qiyu still has the title of supervising the country.
Then Queen Mother Sun asked: "What does King Tan think?"
