This discussion lasted for about three hours, from afternoon to evening.
For half a day, His Majesty the Emperor hardly left the Manna Hall, and his spirit was very high and full of passion.
You must know that this is an emperor, or an emperor who is on the rise of his career. He has to deal with things and meet countless people every day. Being able to spare half a day and not go anywhere is enough to show that he has a deep understanding of this matter. It can be said that this matter is taken extremely seriously.
When it was completely dark, Shen Yi looked at the emperor who was already looking slightly tired and gave a summary of today's conversation.
"Your Majesty, of all the things we are talking about today, the most difficult one is to recover the north as soon as possible. The remaining thing should be to move the capital."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "This matter will face unanimous resistance from both the government and the public. When the time comes, your Majesty's attitude must be firm. If your Majesty's attitude is just a little softer, it will be difficult to move the capital."
Having been based in the south for more than 70 years, these officials in the south, including Shen Yi's family, are probably not willing to move to the north.
However, if the capital remains in the south, it means that about 100,000 troops must be retained near Jiankang to act as a forbidden army.
At the same time, the sky is high in the north and the Emperor is far away, so Zhu Li may not be able to come back anytime soon.
Even if Hongde doesn't have any problems once, when he comes to future generations, the north is likely to be lost again.
Unless the emperor really seals Shen Yi to the north and lets the Shen family lead the Huai'an army to guard the north.
But that would also leave hidden dangers.
The descendants of the Shen family and the kings of later generations do not have the almost-friend-like relationship between Shen Yi and Emperor Hong De for more than ten years, and more importantly.
It is difficult to guarantee that there will not be one or two careerists among the descendants of the Shen family.
And it is difficult to guarantee that the future kings of Da Chen will be as tolerant as Emperor Hong De.
Neither the emperor nor Shen Yi wanted to bury this huge hidden danger. In this case, the best way was to move the imperial court to Yandu and use the capital to guard the north, thus ensuring that Zhuli Zhenren and the Tatars in the north People, at least within a few generations, cannot afford to make trouble.
As for a few generations later…
A hundred years have passed, and the world has changed. At that time, neither the emperor nor Shen Yi could control it.
Emperor Hong De nodded silently, lowered his head and took a sip of water, then said silently: "I think so too. When the time comes, Shen Qing will cooperate with me more and try to push this matter through."
Shen Yi said with a smile: "The main thing is that your Majesty must hold on here. If it doesn't work anymore, your Majesty will simply fall out with these courtiers, get up and go to Yandu, and build another court. Those ministers will have nothing to say."
Emperor Hong De laughed dumbly: "It's so refreshing, but the country is immediately in chaos."
His Majesty the Emperor paused for a moment and continued: "Shen Qing, when you arrive near Yandu, do something for me."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty ordered."
The emperor stretched out his hand, knocked on the table, and said: "The first thing is to send people to find the imperial tomb of my ancestor of the Li family, and then send people to repair it."
The Li family has been in Yandu for more than a hundred years, and six emperors have their imperial mausoleums in Yandu.
After arriving in the south, Emperor Hongde was the fourth emperor and the tenth emperor of Dachen.
Shen Yi nodded: "I obey."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and continued: "The second thing is to find for me an auspicious place near Yandu. After finding the place, I will send people from Jiankang to survey. If the place is suitable, we will start construction. , build me an imperial mausoleum."
When Shen Yi heard this, he was slightly moved.
It is very normal for an emperor to build an imperial mausoleum and has nothing to do with his physical condition. In fact, the first thing every emperor does after ascending the throne may be to start preparing to build an imperial mausoleum for himself.
It is now the first month of the eighteenth year of Hongde's reign, and it is already the nineteenth year of Emperor Hongde's accession to the throne. His imperial mausoleum in Jiankang is estimated to have been completed long ago, with only the last handful of earth left to fill it.
Emperor Hong De asked Shen Yi to find a suitable location for him to build a mausoleum in Yandu. Obviously, he was not really anxious to find a place to bury himself, but to convey political signals to the ministers in the court and express his attitude.
This attitude is that he, the Emperor Chen, must go to the north. Even if he is buried, he must be buried in the north.
After Emperor Hong De said this, he sighed: "Unfortunately, my imperial mausoleum near Jiankang has been completed for several years. In the future, when I go to the north, this imperial mausoleum will probably be abandoned."
At this point, he suddenly looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Shen Qing, you are from the south. Otherwise, I would ask them to renovate the imperial mausoleum in Jiankang and give it to Shen Qing."
The emperor's words can be said to be very generous. Not to mention the cost of the imperial mausoleum, which easily runs into millions of taels. Moreover, the Feng Shui location of the imperial mausoleum was carefully selected by Feng Shui masters. Acupoints, not to mention whether Brother Pancake is a pancake painter, it is not easy to be able to say these words.
Mr. Shen quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. I will never dare to overstep my bounds."
He paused and said, "I will go back to my ancestral grave in my hometown in Jiangdu."
The emperor smiled and said: "The mausoleum system is too arrogant. Let's change it."
"but…"
The emperor touched his chin, pondered for a while, and then said: "I will go to the north in the future, and Shen Qing will go with me. It is not appropriate to go back to Jiankang. I will wait until I finish building the imperial mausoleum in the north. It's time to set aside a space for Shen Qing."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it's too early to say this. You should just take care of the things at hand."
Emperor Hongde said seriously: "This is also an immediate matter. I am still considering whether the three imperial mausoleums in Jiankang should be moved to the north together if I move the imperial court to Yandu in the future."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Shizong's coffin is still hanging, and he will definitely move back to Yandu. As for Emperor Xianzong and the late emperor, I think it is better not to be alarmed and stay in Jiankang."
"When future generations see these two imperial mausoleums in the south, they will know your Majesty's achievements today."
When His Majesty the Emperor heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Why else would I like to talk to you, Shen Qing? You speak nicely."
The two chatted for a while, talking about the previous emperors of Dachen. Emperor Hong De suddenly looked at Shen Yi, curious: "Shen Qing, what name will my descendants give me?"
Shen Yi was so frightened that he quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, how can you say such an unlucky thing?"
He even looked up at the emperor with suspicious eyes.
His Majesty the Emperor laughed dumbly and said: "Don't worry, I am in very good health. The imperial doctor just came to check my pulse two days ago and said that I am strong and healthy. It's just that I have too many things and am a little nervous."
"I'm just a little curious. The chat between our monarchs and ministers will not be spread to outsiders."
The emperor said softly: "I will think about these things in private, but no one can say it, not even Gao Ming and the others. I can only talk to you while Shen Qing is still in Jiankang. ."
He looked at Shen Yi: "Say it quickly."
Shen Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "If your Majesty completes the unification and relocation of the capital, the future should be..."
The emperor smiled hoarsely: "You are confused. My great-grandfather was Emperor Sejong."
Shen Yi shook his head: "Your Majesty should be..."
"Emperor Shizu."
The ancestors have merit, and the clan has virtues.
Emperor Hongde froze on the spot, looked up at the roof of Ganlu Hall, and murmured: "Shizu, Shizu..."
However, he quickly came back to his senses, looked at Shen Yi, exhaled a breath, and said slowly: "Not to mention the temple name, I estimate that it will take at least twenty years to complete the things Shen Qing said. "
He smiled at Shen Yi: "Shen Qing must finish the things in the north as soon as possible and return to the court to help me. Otherwise, if I work so hard every day, I may not be able to live for twenty years."
Shen Yi also smiled, stood up and said goodbye: "Your Majesty, I will leave Jiankang in two days and go north to complete the great cause of unification."
The emperor nodded and stood up: "May I give you one as a gift?"
Shen Yi quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, please take a rest."
The emperor nodded again and said, "Gao Ming, give me a gift for Shen Qing."
Eunuch Gao immediately lowered his head, stepped forward, and led Shen Yi out of the Manna Hall.
As for His Majesty the Emperor, after watching Shen Yi drift away, he was sitting alone in the Manna Hall, still in a daze.
He suddenly laughed to himself.
"Hey, Shizu..."
"Shizu."
Don't worry, everyone, there is no problem with Brother Pan's body for the time being and he is still very healthy.
