Everyone present could also see that this matter was by no means as simple as a palace. Both sides were fighting for face. The emperor wanted to fight for authority, and what Gao Shaoyi wanted to fight for was the right to speak. In short, they both wanted this matter to be carried out according to the law.
He wanted to develop in his own way, so the other ministers remained silent. After all, their strength was not good either.
The emperor looked at Gao Shaoyi with a deep look. It turned out that Gao Shaoyi would talk about him at this time, but at this moment Gao Shaoyi looked back with sharp eyes, which made the emperor feel a little uncomfortable. According to the regulations of the imperial court, when
A minister cannot look at the emperor. Even if you are my nephew, it is still a mistake.
"Actually, you can send someone to Zhongjing to have a look. After all, I intend to move the capital to Zhongjing. From now on, this is just a hub city in the north and does not have such a high status. It is very likely that all the major palaces in the city will have to move there.
Go to Zhongjing."
Everyone thought that a conflict was going to happen soon. After all, neither of the two men would suffer. However, the emperor changed the subject and turned the conversation to this topic. This did not occur to anyone else.
Everyone can see that the emperor's supervision policy may be a problem, and the main testers are various warlords, including Gao Shaoyi. All warlords do not want the emperor to move the capital, because more than a thousand means domestic political turmoil, and
It is a national political turmoil that does them no good.
Although there have been several discussions on moving the capital, the emperor did not show it to outsiders. He only discussed it with some officers in the capital and listened to some people's opinions, but he has not made a decision yet. On such an occasion
To put it bluntly, has the emperor already made a decision?
There are too many things involved in moving the capital to Beijing. The most important thing is to get rid of the control of the Suppression Army. Before the rise of the Suppression Army, the capital was still under the control of the royal family, although the whole country was full of separatism.
, but it did not affect the status of the royal family in the capital. Now after several conflicts, the suppressing army has become less and less respectful of the emperor, so it is inevitable to move the capital.
Prince Ding twitched his lips at the side, but did not speak. Didn't the emperor say that they would discuss it slowly? Why did he say it on such an occasion? Isn't he even less temperamental than a brat?
The king of a country is supported by all the people. You cannot bring your own emotions when speaking. It was obvious that Gao Shaoyi was angry just now, so he said this. This may affect the direction of the entire empire.
"Wei Chen has been away all this time and has never heard of such things. When did the emperor decide to move the capital?"
Gao Shaoyi said unhurriedly. He did not object to this matter, nor did he approve of it. He just said that he had not heard of it. What he said was also the truth. The war has been going on for such a long time.
How can you study this when all your energy is focused on the enemy on the opposite side? So even if you want to find loopholes in others, you can't find them in words.
Moreover, Gao Shaoyi said this to force the emperor to express his position. In fact, according to the reconnaissance of Gao Shaoyi's men, although the emperor had discussed the matter of moving the capital many times, he still had not made up his mind.
Senior personnel within the Suppression Army have also analyzed that if the emperor remains undecided, the next deployment of the Suppression Army will also be affected. Instead of continuing to be led around like this, it is better to know the result directly, regardless of
Whether it is to move the capital or not, we all have a response plan, so Gao Shaoyi at this moment is no different from forcing the palace.
Didn’t you say that you want to move the capital? Then we will follow your words and tell you to tell this matter as a fact. No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, in front of so many court ministers, You have to give me accurate words. Either move the capital or stay still. You can't waste time here.
"Today is the harem family banquet. Important affairs of the court should be settled in the south study room. We gentlemen haven't had a drink together for a long time. It's better to put all these troublesome things aside and raise our glasses. Let's have a drink together and wish me a happy birthday. May the empire prosper!"
At this embarrassing moment, Prince Duan stood up.
This person is not an ordinary person. If we talk about seniority, he should be an uncle of the current emperor, and he is also the highest-ranking person in the royal family. However, this person is not interested in government affairs. He raises dogs and fights birds at his home every day. This can be regarded as a lot of fun, but the critical moment is still towards the court. If there is a court, he will have a good day. Without the court, his life will be gone.
Prince Duan usually does not express his position, and he will not interfere in any government affairs, but everyone still wants to give him a face. The Daqian Dynasty rules the world with filial piety. This guy is the highest-ranking person in the royal family, and he has spoken. If If you don't give me face, you are an unfilial person. With such a reputation in this era, no matter what you do, it will be in vain.
"My uncle is right, but I am Meng Lang. I will punish myself with three cups of wine to make amends to my uncle."
Gao Shaoyi reacted very quickly and quickly picked up his glass of wine. Prince Duan was the elder of his mother's clan, so Gao Shaoyi went over in person to offer three glasses of wine. There was nothing to be picky about.
After Gao Shaoyi finished his three glasses of wine, the singing and laughter resumed below, and a group of dancers began to come up to perform dances. However, the emperor had disappeared at this moment. According to the father-in-law in the palace, the emperor drank a little too much tonight. , so I went to the harem to rest first. The men in the clan can just continue drinking. The palace has enough wine to control tonight.
For some aristocrats who are not interested in worldly affairs, this test is just a time for the men at home to drink, so they just roll up their arms and drink hard, and many people start to punch. For some people who have something on their mind , they will also leave after the emperor leaves the banquet. The emperor is the protagonist here, and the other protagonist is Gao Shaoyi. Both of them have disappeared from the banquet. Is it necessary to stay here?
Before he reached the gate of the palace, Gao Shaoyi saw Prince Ding standing in the distance. Although the two uncles were both uncles, Gao Shaoyi obviously respected Prince Ding more because he used to mind his own business. Gao Shaoyi didn't want to go against the emperor, but if he moved the capital, it would be very detrimental to the suppressing army and the entire Daqian Empire. Once it caused far-reaching political turmoil, it would be the common people who would suffer at that time. Gao Shaoyi Only then did he confront the emperor...
