When King Ming followed him down with a knife and a sword, Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "It seems that someone has been arrested, right?"
"Yes, the Protector Cao who betrayed him." Liu Ying replied in a deep voice.
"Execute him Lingchi." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.
"yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ding Bin again and said, "You are not as lucky as King Ming. We have already thought of a way to die for you."
"It's up to you." Ding Bin said with the unique toughness of the Ming Dynasty soldiers in this era: "Wrinkle your eyebrows and we lose."
"Come here, clean him, tie him up, and give him to the gang of civilians who rescued him from the warehouse." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let them do whatever they want..."
"No, you can't do this to me!" Ding Bin immediately broke through, struggled violently and screamed. "I have shed blood for the Ming Dynasty, and I have been injured for the emperor! Your Majesty, you can kill me, but you cannot abuse me like this...
"
"It's just retribution. Take him away." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the swordsman dragged Ding Bin down like a moth.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the people on the steps, raised the golden cup and said: "Come, drink this cup, and then disperse."
"Yes..." As if they had been granted amnesty, all the distinguished officials quickly picked up their wine glasses.
"I have one last sentence for you." But I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say quietly again: "I will drink from the golden cup together, but I will not spare you any mercy! Let's take care of ourselves..."
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank a toast, then smashed the wine glass.
Everyone was frightened after hearing what he said, and then trembled when they heard the sound of cups being smashed, thinking that there was a swordsman ambushing him in the palace...
Fortunately, no one rushed out of the dark Golden Palace entrance.
After finishing the glass of wine tremblingly, all the distinguished officials kowtowed and left.
Li Shanchang still knelt there and refused to get up.
"Oh, by the way." Zhu Yuanzhang asked as if he remembered something: "Where is Li Qi? Why haven't he been released yet?"
"Yes, let him go." Liu Ying ordered in a deep voice.
After a while, Li Qi walked onto the platform with difficulty. Apart from limping, he probably didn't suffer much.
Li Qi quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness.
"Ding Bin has taken over the matter, and you have no responsibility here." Zhu Yuanzhang slowed down and said, "Help your old father go home."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qi thanked him again, then stood up with difficulty and went to help his father.
"Let me go!" Li Shanchang threw away his son's hand and suddenly growled: "If your superiors don't take it back today and don't move the capital, I will kneel down and die here!"
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately showed his donkey face again and said to Li Shanchang: "Mr. Han, do you also want to teach us how to do things?!"
"The old minister dare not teach the superior how to do things. The old minister just wants to persuade the superior to move the capital!" Li Shanchang said resolutely: "The Ming Dynasty must move the capital. If we don't move the capital, several years of income will be wasted. How will the emperor's prestige remain? If we don't move the capital, the old minister would rather die!"
"Then you go to hell!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly roared and rushed in front of Li Shanchang, wanting to kick him, but he held back in the end.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were spitting fire and he said to him: "To tell you the truth, we originally had a grand finale tonight - we want to burn these three bloody halls on fire!
"It was the Crown Prince and Lao Liu who tried to persuade us, saying that the three major palaces have spent too much money and money. Burning them down would be a waste. Waste is the biggest crime!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly:
"That's why we keep the three main halls and demolish them together with the Forbidden City in the future. The ones that can be sold will be sold for money and compensated to the families of the dead refugees! The ones that can't be sold will be used to build almshouses for the people.
,Yingyingtang,Pujitang..."
"Let me tell you one last time, Fengyang will no longer have three major palaces, nor will it become the capital of the Ming Dynasty!" As he said this, he grabbed Li Shanchang's lapel, picked him up from the ground, and dusted him off his python robe.
On the gray road:
"Old Li, you have disappointed us so much. You are out of date. Your methods were feasible in troubled times, but now they will only harm the country and the people. Take good care of yourself at home, and don't make us want to kill you..."
"Your Majesty, please think twice. It is imperative to move the capital..." Li Shanchang just repeated this sentence mechanically, as if the tape was stuck.
"Get out!" Seeing his stubbornness, Zhu Yuanzhang completely lost his patience.
"Please think again, superior. It is imperative to move the capital..." Li Shanchang got up again, hugged his legs, and still begged without giving up.
"Get out! Don't be shameless!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help it, and kicked Li Shanchang away.
The Korean man struggled and still remembered, but how heavy was Boss Zhu's kick? He struggled twice and couldn't lift it up, so he vomited blood.
"Father." Li Qi quickly supported the Korean father.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him, turned around and left...
"Come on, move the capital, move the capital..." Li Shanchang pushed his son away, put his hands on the ground, knelt down again, and begged in vain towards the direction where the emperor disappeared.
But there was no response...
~~
On August 17, the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhongdu Yuanqiu to offer sacrifices to heaven.
It was the place where his five sons acted for the Mingjiao more than two months ago...
More than two months have passed, and the circle has been completed. Special palace walls have been built and guards have been set up. It is impossible for Mingjiao to have free sex anymore...
The completed Circular Mound Altar is divided into three floors, with nine steps on each side of each floor. Each floor is surrounded by finely carved white marble railings. The floor is paved with fan-shaped stone slabs, and the center of the uppermost floor is a round marble.
, is the Tianxin Stone.
After burning incense to pay homage, Zhu Yuanzhang knelt on the Tianxin Stone, and with a heavy heart, read to God the "Zhongdu Memorial Prose to Heaven and Earth Blessings" written by him personally:
"In the past, the Yuan Dynasty was not organized, heroes came together, the people were miserable, and suffering was unstoppable. The Haotian God of Hemeng, and the Emperor of Later Tu, only sympathized with the hardships of the people, gave orders to ministers, bestowed civil and military services, and there were many good people. 8
In the past years, I have eliminated the disasters of the people, and I have received the blessings of God, the blessings of the land, and my civil and military abilities. It is not because of my good deeds.
"When the army first crossed the river, every time I heard the words of Confucianism, I said: 'There is a world, and it is not the capital of the Central Plains that cannot control the traitors.' After listening to these words, I will never forget them. God Huer, the land of the future has given orders to
Since the Central Plains was pacified in the early days of Hongwu, I rushed to Bianliang with the intention of building a capital to stabilize the world.
"When we got there, the people's livelihood was in decline. The transportation by water and land was difficult, and I was afraid that it would be too hard for the people, so I discussed it with all the ministers. Everyone said that Zhongli Ke was ancient, so the name of the county was changed in Liangggeng, which is now Fengyang.
"When the capital was built here, civil engineering work was carried out, and people were seriously injured in the service. There should be officials, and treachery occurred again and again, and the more serious it became, the sin of this minister was inevitable! Although the work is about to be completed, it is really hard for me to free myself.
An, I gave up the idea of moving the capital, and I sincerely sue you, but God and the land will learn from it."
After reporting to Emperor Tianhoutu, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly issued a formal decree——
‘The Ministry of Construction will be abolished, all work in Zhongdu will be stopped, and all construction projects in Zhongdu will be stopped immediately. Civilians and craftsmen will be given travel expenses if they are alive, and will be given pensions if they are dead, and they will be able to return to their place of origin immediately.
After returning to Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree to officially designate Nanjing as the capital, completely ending the capital dispute between the two capitals...
