After Chen Ying finished speaking, she bent down slightly and faced Zhu Gaochi humbly. He wanted to get some clues from Zhu Gaochi's face, but it was really difficult to see some changes in Zhu Gaochi's big, fat face without any wrinkles.
Chen Ying could only stare into Zhu Gaochi's eyes.
After staring for a long time, Chen Ying was disappointed. From the eyes of this young man who was more than 20 years younger than him, he could not detect any emotion. Zhu Gaochi's eyes were very calm, just like how he usually looked at others, regardless of the other person.
Regardless of his status or power, his eyes are always gentle, reserved, and restrained, without any change.
The prince's palace is much deeper than he imagined.
Chen Ying's heart, which had been suppressed and calm, was like a tightened bowstring. It finally lost its strength. When his fingers loosened, the bowstring trembled sharply, and his heart jumped sharply, making his breathing quicken.
When he came, he didn't know whether he could be accepted by Zhu Gaochi. After repeated speculations, he believed that with his ability and the power he had, the prince's current status was not stable, and the possibility of the prince accepting him was at least 10%.
70%. There is no personal hatred between them, is there?
No matter how many attempts were made to trap and frame people in the past, everyone is their own master! I, Chen Ying, control the public speaking officer and the mouthpiece of the Ming Dynasty. This is the power that the prince needs most at the moment. Qi Henggong is still willing to accept Guan Zhong, the prince
Why can't you be my Chen Ying's son, Xiaobai?
Despite this, he was cautious and decided to test the prince's intentions by using the incident of officials taking advantage of Yunnan's opportunity to recruit merchants to make a fortune. People want face and trees want bark. If it is really irreversible,
At least you can't let your reputation, your future and even your life be ruined together.
Now, I'm afraid he will make a miscalculation, and the idea of changing the family will probably fail. Sure enough, after being calm for a while, Zhu Gaochi suddenly smiled. When Zhu Gaochi smiled, Chen Ying's heart sank completely to the bottom.
Zhu Gaochi's smile was as warm as the spring breeze, his voice was as warm as the spring breeze, and his words were as warm as the spring breeze: "The ministry is loyal to the court, works diligently, and I am happy. Regarding the prohibition of officials from competing for profits with the people, this is the emperor's consistent position. Naturally,
Will act in accordance with the holy orders. If someone uses power to enrich himself and enrich himself, it is his duty to be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He can collect evidence of crime, identify the crime, and punish him according to the laws of the country. The King of Han and Gu Tong are the supervisors of the country.
, this matter should not be concealed from each other, the Lord of the Ministry can report this matter to the King of Han."
Zhu Gaochi is very sorry, really sorry. He knows that as long as he nods, Chen Ying can be used by him immediately, and the power Chen Ying has can also be used by him. This person controls the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Yanguan
, which is very important to stabilize one's position.
However, he couldn't accept it.
Chen Ying offended too many people, and too many officials whose families were ruined by his impeachment were mostly gathered under the prince's banner.
The King of Han's banner has gone too far. It's not easy to get out now.
More importantly, Chen Ying is the number one think tank of the King of Han. Chen Ying is behind almost everything the King of Han has done over the years. If Chen Ying does not fall, what reason is there for the King of Han to fall? This is just like the father.
To kill Fang Xiaoru, you have to kill him, you have to kill him, even if Fang Xiaoru has implicitly given a hint of surrender.
When we first raised an army to quell Jingnan, and swore an oath to Peking, and announced it to the world, we followed the instructions of our ancestors, and the Qing monarch sided with Ren. These Ren were Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai. When my father conquered the world, no one could die, except these three people.
, there is no way he would be alive. If he didn't kill them, Jing Nan's rightful name would not be established, and his father would be convicted of usurping the throne and treason.
Therefore, those who deserve to die can only die, just like Chen Ying today.
Chen Ying's orange-skinned old face twitched a few times, then she slowly bowed down and said in a low voice: "Then...Old Minister...resign!"
This sound is like fallen leaves blown by the wind, with a rustling autumn feeling...
※※※※
Early the next morning, the General Affairs Department received a memorial from Chen Ying's envoy: He was ill, very ill.
Lang said that he needed long-term recuperation. Chen Ying held an important position and was worried that it would delay state affairs, so he requested to retire and return to his hometown. Zhu Gaochi read Chen Ying's memorial, just smiled faintly, and wrote a line of large characters: "This is the appointment and dismissal of officials.
Submit to the Emperor for judgment!"
Zhu Gaochi didn't take Chen Ying to heart. All the preparations they had made had to be temporarily stopped because the emperor suddenly issued an edict ordering all officials to "discuss moving the capital." The Crown Princess came back from the Fuguo Palace and brought Xia Xun's opinions.
There are only eight words: "Stay still and adapt to changes!"
In order to deal with the emperor's intentions, Duke Fu, who had always had no plans, was a little confused. Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to put it aside and concentrate on handling the proposal to move the capital. The impact of this matter was too far-reaching and the implications were too important.
As soon as the emperor's edict was announced, the court exploded.
The matter of moving the capital is a major matter that concerns the country, the country, and the country. It is also closely related to every minister. For a while, the whole court and military capital were involved in the debate. Just one day later, the opinions of the courtiers began to come back one after another. Nothing.
I wonder, there are far more officials who oppose moving the capital than those who approve, and the voices of approval are almost inaudible.
The people who love the people like Zi said: The imperial court has made Jinling its capital for more than 40 years. The country is peaceful and the people are safe. Why should the capital be moved? Once the capital is moved, great efforts will be made to build Beijing and build the Beijing Palace. In recent years, the imperial court has carried out many projects and raised troops. The people have already
We are tired and want to move the capital again. Isn’t this a waste of people and money?
The National Economy and People's Livelihood faction said: Beijing's wealth supply and population are both problematic. Although the imperial court currently has river and sea transportation, and is successively dredging some areas that have been blocked for many years on the canal, if the imperial court moves north, Beijing will suddenly have a large number of bureaucrats.
, the supplies needed by the family, and even the garrison, the current river and sea transportation must be expanded several times in scale. At least currently, this condition is not met.
The military geography school said: Beijing is too close to Beidi. It is less than two hundred miles away from the frontier fortress. There is no solid fence outside and no strategic depth inside. Once Beidi invades and breaks through the pass, the horse can be released to Yanshan. Beijing can be reached in a day and night, and the emperor can be crowned emperor.
It's really too dangerous to be in such a dangerous place.
Some people were worried that the capital would be moved northward and the prince would have another competitor in King Zhao's territory. However, this reason could not be explained clearly, so they randomly joined an opposition group and made some high-sounding speeches.
In addition, there are many people who strongly oppose the relocation of the capital out of personal, family, and hometown interests. Because Jiangnan religion is developed and the number of scholar-officials in Jiangnan is the largest, officials from Jiangnan account for the vast majority of the court. There is no doubt that the capital will be moved.
It will touch the interests of their personal, family and hometown, so they are naturally strongly opposed to this.
Not only them, but also the heroes and relatives who followed Emperor Hongwu to conquer the country, most of them were also born in the south of the Yangtze River. Their home is here and their roots are here. Who is willing to go all the way to Beijing. Besides, Beijing is compared with Jinling.
, the level of prosperity is thousands of miles away. If there is a good place to stay, who would want to settle in that remote mountainous area?
The wealthy gentry and landlords among the people also strongly opposed this news. When Zhu Yuanzhang built Fengyang as the capital, he forcibly moved 100,000 wealthy households to Fengyang. If Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, many wealthy households from the south of the Yangtze River would inevitably be moved to Beijing.
There's no guarantee it won't include them.
Either someone in their family was an official in the court, or they had a deep relationship with a court official. At this time, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showed his talents, and used their personal connections to raise the strongest opposition in the court.
There are also those Feng Shui masters who quoted Zhuge Kongming as saying: "Zhongshan dragon plate, stone tiger perch, reflecting the purple wall, this is the residence of the emperor." They talk about how good Jinling Feng Shui is, and use this as a guideline to avoid abandoning Jinling.
Beijing's reasons.
Yang Rong, a scholar of Yuange University, is one such representative. No matter what his original intention was to oppose the relocation of the capital, his memorial to the emperor was written in black and white: "The mountains and rivers in the world are majestic and magnificent, with a broad layout, nine stars arching together, and ten thousand battles."
When they complement each other, there is no one more worthy of the capital than Jinling."
This opposition from the Feng Shui faction aroused opposition within the Feng Shui faction. They have in-depth research on Feng Shui and Yili, and they don't care much about politics. They don't care whether the emperor moves the capital or not, and they don't care why others oppose moving the capital.
, since someone mentioned Feng Shui, they naturally want to publish their own method.
They believe that "Mountains govern people and water governs wealth." "Mountain" represents the back, which governs health and prosperity of the population, and naturally also includes the national destiny. It should be strong and strong, and it is most taboo to be negative; "Water" represents the front, governing career and wealth.
The site facing the water should be wide and low, and the most avoidable site is small.
According to the Feng Shui of Jinling, the city of Nanjing is oriented from north to south, with the north as the backbone.
What kind of mountain is to the north? Jilong Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it is just a small mound about 20 feet high. Behind Jilong Mountain is Xuanwu Lake, and further to the north is Hongshan. Hongshan is similar to Jilong Mountain
It is also a small mound. To the north of Hongshan is Mufu Mountain, which is only about fifty feet tall. Next is the Yangtze River.
Well, Jilong Mountain is a small mound, Hongshan is a small mound, Mufu Mountain is a little higher, but the top of Mufu Mountain is irregular and slightly skewed in the shape of a greedy wolf star, which is extremely unfavorable to the mountain. Behind Jinling is
How can such a large city be supported by such three weak and fragmentary backings?
Also, all the mountains are backed by the Yangtze River, there is no connection with large mountain ranges, and there is no support from the dragon veins.
What's even more terrible is that the Feng Shui energy "disperses with the wind and meets the water boundary." Xuanwu Lake, which covers an area larger than the entire mountain, completely blocks the dragon energy of Jinling's mountains. As a result, Jinling even has a small area.
The earth energy of the backing mountain has been wiped away, forming a completely empty Feng Shui shape.
Therefore, as long as there is chaos in the world and Tai Sui reaches the Xuanwu Lake where the evil is committed, corpses will litter the fields and the Qinhuai River will turn into a river of blood.
Although they were just talking about Feng Shui and did not want to approve Emperor Yongle's move of the capital, this was the only voice that the eunuch sent by Zhu Di could hear in favor of moving the capital. Naturally, he regarded it as a treasure and hurriedly memorized all these opinions.
Come down and forward to Beijing.
As soon as these people who were proficient in Feng Shui said that Jinling was not good, those who firmly opposed the relocation of the capital immediately found more Feng Shui masters to refute it. The two sides fought back and forth, but couldn't compete theoretically, so they began to give examples. They believed that Jinling Feng Shui
The bad one cited examples from ancient times to the present, no country with its capital in Jinling has ever had a long-lasting destiny.
They also said that Liu Bowen was only following the Holy Will and had to make Jinling the capital. In fact, he also knew that the feng shui of Jinling was not good, so he went to great lengths to build the palace to the east of Jinling, next to Zhongshan Mountain, to accommodate the feng shui. No.
Like all the dynasties that had their capital in Jinling, they built the palace in the center of Jinling City, but Zhongshan is not strong either. It has ensured the peace and prosperity of the country for more than 40 years during the Ming Dynasty, and the land is about to be exhausted, and it will not last long.
The opposition was dismissive, saying that Zhuge Kongming, who was so wise and almost demonic, praised Jinling Feng Shui. Are you smarter than Kongming? Of course, no one dares to think that he is smarter than Zhuge Kongming. Now the opposition seems to have the upper hand.
, but some scholars and old Confucians who had just finished studying the "Yongle Dadian" and had not had time to leave Jinling came up with different methods after hearing this.
They said, when did Kong Ming praise the feng shui of Jinling? It was when Kong Ming joined forces with Wu to resist Cao Cao and went to see Sun Quan. Kong Ming protected Uncle Liu Huang. If Jinling was really the residence of the emperor, he said this to the people of Soochow, prompting Sun Quan to move the capital to Jinling.
, is it to help Sun Quan unify the world? The national destiny of Soochow was only fifty-two years, which shows that this is just Zhuge Liang's plan!
These people's claims led to the Archaeological School, and they started an academic debate, that is: Zhuge Liang, who is proficient in Feng Shui, told the Wu people that Jinling was the residence of the emperor. Did he deliberately leave Jinling because it was not a treasured Feng Shui place for the country's fortunes?
In order to set a trap for Sun Quan and use Feng Shui theory to achieve political goals, both sides quoted from classics and argued eloquently.
In the entire city of Nanjing, the only ones who clearly supported the emperor's move of the capital were the military generals of the Jingnan faction. Most of these big bosses came from the north with the emperor. Of course they were willing to go back, so they kept applauding. As for why it was good to move the capital, they
But couldn't tell.
There was a war of words in the city of Jinling. Every day, the memorials piled up in front of the case of the prince and the cabinet scholar were like snowflakes. The prince did not dare to pick and choose the memorials with opinions on moving the capital, and sent them all to Beijing. The postman was responsible for delivering memorials to Beijing.
A sudden increase of six times.
At this time, Xia Xun was in Lushan alone.
He didn't understand everything that happened in Jinling.
He knew very well that the emperor knew about the overt and covert fight between the prince and the king of Han in Nanjing, and also knew about his assassination. In order to compete for the throne, he went to the extent of assassinating ministers. This had touched the bottom line of any king, but Emperor Yongle did not
Turning a deaf ear, he still sat in Beijing, but issued such an edict to Nanjing. His intention is really thought-provoking.
Xia Xun didn't understand, but like a beast with six senses, he intuitively felt the danger. The danger made him shudder. So he came to Lushan. Five hundred years later, here, a giant summoned the world's heroes to drive across
One meeting, that meeting, changed the lives of many influential people.
A gentleman should reflect on himself. When Xia Xun comes here, he needs to take a quiet moment and think about it.
