Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 172 Chapter 172: Going to Hanzhong might be an opportunity for Zhu Di!

Ten days later.

Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking.

Zhu Di was naturally shocked when he suddenly received the edict from the old man!

Because the old man actually wanted to summon him and asked him to leave for Hanzhong Mansion immediately!

So good, why did the old man ask him to go to Hanzhong?

Although he has wanted to go there more than once to see how prosperous Hanzhong is, which is so popular today, the vassal king is not allowed to leave the fiefdom at will without the emperor's order!

Unless a war breaks out suddenly and the military situation is urgent, then only the battlefield has the right to act expediently!

Going to Hanzhong to gain experience is obviously not one of them!

Unexpectedly, the old man’s edict would fulfill his wish now!

But the meaning is completely different!

After the shock, Zhu Di quickly called Princess Xu Miaoyun and two close generals Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng to his side. He also asked eunuch Ma He to rush to Qingshou Temple and invite old monk Yao Guangxiao. !

The old man has already ordered that he go to Hanzhong for an audience. If he doesn't go, he will definitely not be able to do it. So before going, he must discuss it with everyone, and at the same time, he must settle things in Peiping!

"What? Your Majesty wants you to go to Hanzhong?"

Xu Miaoyun was shocked when he heard the news that Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zhu Di to Hanzhong!

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng also had shocked expressions on their faces, but they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhu Di. The princess even spoke, but they had no right to speak!

"Yes, you all can help me analyze it. Why did the old man ask me to go to Hanzhong this time?"

"The imperial court has just received news that the capital will be moved to the northwest. At this juncture, why are you calling me there?"

Zhu Di's brows were knitted into knots, and he looked worried!

Can you not worry?

Zhu Di really wanted to go to that place in Hanzhong, but he didn't want to go in this way!

After learning that the old man visited Hanzhong in the west, Zhu Di felt unhappy. Not long ago, news came that the imperial court was preparing to move the capital to the northwest!

After learning the news that the capital was to be moved to Xi'an, Zhu Di felt even more unhappy!

I originally heard that Xi'an Mansion was a mess. After the second brother Huo Huo was done with, he was dumped directly on the ninth brother!

Even though Lao Jiu has been in charge for more than a year, Xi'an Mansion has completely changed, but Zhu Di doesn't think the old man can like the idea of ​​moving the capital to Xi'an Mansion!

He also had that question, why didn't the old man think of moving the capital to Hanzhong?

If the old man snatches Hanzhong from Lao Jiu, he, Zhu Di, will definitely support it with both hands and feet. Maybe he will set off firecrackers and have a feast!

But just when he was depressed, the old man suddenly wanted to summon him to Hanzhong!

Zhu Di subconsciously felt that this might be a trap. It was definitely not a good thing for the old man to let him go to Hanzhong Mansion!

"Could it be because of the capital relocation?"

Xu Miaoyun frowned and reminded.

"I don't know!"

"Unless the old man summons all the feudal princes to Hanzhong, do you think this is possible?"

“I still don’t know if the old man summoned me alone, or if other vassal princes are also involved!”

Zhu Di's face was filled with uncertainty!

What he was most worried about was that the old man only summoned a vassal king like himself. It was obviously for him personally and had nothing to do with moving the capital or other things!

For a while, Xu Miaoyun and the others were unable to give Zhu Di any effective analysis and suggestions.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yao Guangxiao to arrive from Qingshou Temple!

"Master, why do you think the old man suddenly summoned me to Hanzhong?"

Zhu Di didn't talk nonsense, but told him about Zhu Yuanzhang's summons and asked directly.

"Don't worry yet!"

Yao Guangxiao also looked surprised, but signaled Zhu Di not to worry, and then began to think to himself!

To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang could not stop Yao Guangxiao from doing anything like this!

"The most important thing is, did your Majesty only summon the prince, the vassal king, this time?"

Xu Miaoyun reminded from the side.

"If nothing else happens, there should be only King Yan!"

When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he shook his head and gave an affirmative answer!

“How come you see?”

Zhu Di's face turned extremely ugly instantly!

He was the only one summoned, so it was obviously for him!

"Your Highness is the one who believes in the old monk!"

Naturally, Yao Guangxiao would not tell Zhu Di that he had spies in both the Jin Palace and the Zhou Palace!

If the two direct vassal kings, King Jin and King Zhou, also received Zhu Yuanzhang's summons, then he should have received the news long ago!

After all, flying pigeons can deliver messages much faster than people delivering news!

"This……"

For a moment, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other!

Although they were curious about why Yao Guangxiao was so sure, they also knew that they couldn't get to the bottom of this old monk!

And the most important thing right now is the purpose of the old man’s summons!

"Maybe it's not a bad thing. Didn't His Highness ask the court to pay for the construction of a cement road leading to Yingtian Mansion?"

"Now that the imperial court is planning to move the capital to Xi'an, if you want to repair it, it should be more important to move to Xi'an!"

"After your highness arrives in Hanzhong, you can also talk to your majesty about road construction!"

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and then said to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di: "..."

It’s so urgent, but you’re still thinking about building cement roads?

What if the old man called me over this time just to cause trouble?

"Don't worry, His Majesty has no reason to do anything to you. There is no need to worry too much when something happens!"

"Think about it differently. Maybe this trip to Hanzhong will be a rare opportunity for you. If from now on His Highness can travel to Hanzhong at will, that will be a real unexpected bonus!"

"If His Highness can fight for it, he must fight for it!"

Yao Guangxiao's next words surprised both Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

"Can you travel to and from Hanzhong at will?"

"Wouldn't it be a joke that the vassal king cannot leave the fiefdom without an edict?"

Zhu Di asked in surprise.

"Actually, it's just a general trend!"

"What was the original intention of the imperial court in building cement roads?"

"The vassal king can only stay in his own fiefdom, and why?" "These are two contradictory things. With the construction of cement roads in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, the exchanges between various places will become more frequent in the future. His Highness must be aware of the policies in the northwest!"

"Even ordinary people can travel throughout the northwest without restrictions. In the future, the entire Ming Dynasty will inevitably be like this!"

"At that time, the vassal king will not be able to leave the fiefdom without an edict, but it will become a joke!"

"While the other vassal princes have not yet reacted, His Highness can seize an opportunity. I believe His Majesty will not refuse!"

"In this way, summoning Your Highness alone to Hanzhong Mansion will become a good thing!"

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but look at each other, obviously they hadn't turned this corner yet!

Are they really overthinking it?

Going to Hanzhong this time is actually an opportunity?

If you want to put it this way, even if the old man is here for him, he still wants to support him?

Not to mention, it may not be possible!

After all, among the many vassal kings, except for Lao Jiu, Zhu Di is confident that he is the most dazzling one!

It is normal for the old man to prefer himself a little!

Of course, the premise is that you can't compare with Lao Jiu, otherwise he will be angry to death!

"Hearing what the master said, I feel a lot more at ease!"

Zhu Di nodded thoughtfully.

"When is Your Highness planning to set off?"

Yao Guangxiao asked.

"The old man said to leave immediately, so let's leave early tomorrow morning!"

"It will take about ten days to get to Hanzhong!"

Zhu Di directly determined the time to set off. Although there is no cement road outside Beiping Prefecture, after arriving in Kaifeng Prefecture, there is a cement road directly to Hanzhong, which can save a lot of time!

Now that he has decided to go, Zhu Di will not drag his feet. Naturally, the sooner he gets to Hanzhong Mansion, the better!

……

Yingtian Mansion, the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Biao is in a pretty good mood these days, because he is already preparing to leave for the northwest, and he will be able to set off in the next few days!

Although it is not a formal capital move, the capital move will have to wait until they arrive in the northwest, and when the temporary team in the northwest can operate normally, Yingtian Mansion can start moving!

But leaving here means that he basically doesn’t have to respond to the sky anymore!

After all, the capital of the country is about to move to the northwest, so what else does he, the crown prince, do in response to Tianfu?

So this time, everyone who goes to the northwest is basically prepared to not come back for a short time!

It is said that it is enough to bring six ministers, Lan Yu and other generals and nobles, but if the imperial court wants to form a temporary team to operate in the northwest, it certainly cannot rely on these six polished commanders alone!

Therefore, in addition to the left and right ministers of each department staying in Yingtian Mansion to maintain the normal operation of the six departments, the six ministers also had to draw manpower from their respective teams to quickly operate the entire department after arriving in Xi'an Mansion!

As for the hardware of each department, and there are many books and files, we can only wait until the capital relocation begins, and then drive them to Xi'an one by one!

Fortunately, the cement road has been opened now. Even if we pull one car after another, it won't take too long. It will definitely be done within half a year!

Because of the matter of moving the capital, Zhu Biao also discussed with the ministers in the court for several days!

There are voices of support, and naturally there are voices of opposition.

As for those who oppose it, they are basically those who have their roots in Jiangnan, but at the same time do not have many interests involved in the northwest!

Most of them were civil servants born as Confucian scholars, and their families were basically from scholarly families.

Of course, there is a third voice!

Just as Lan Yu and the others expected, there were also many stubborn civil servants who suggested moving the capital to Hanzhong Mansion!

In addition, these days, many ministers have secretly begun to contact businessmen from the northwest or who have been to the northwest!

Without exception, these businessmen compared Hanzhong and Xi'an. Needless to say, the result is that Hanzhong is undoubtedly more suitable for building a capital than Xi'an!

And there is news that King Zhu Li of Han has begun to expand Hanzhong City!

In addition to the original Hanzhong City as the inner city, a second ring city was built on the periphery. There seems to be another name for it, what kind of development zone!

Retaining the original city as the center and expanding the construction of new cities on the periphery also allowed these ministers to see unlimited business opportunities!

They are not stupid, and can see the future trend. In this case, if they can take root in Hanzhong Mansion, buy a few houses, and settle in Hanzhong, wouldn't that be better than being a landowner in Yingtian Mansion?

Therefore, 80% of the ministers agree with the current proposal to move the capital to the northwest, but most of them are thinking of moving the capital to Hanzhong Prefecture instead of Xi'an Prefecture!

But there are few stubborn people after all. Even if they think so in their hearts, there are only a few people who dare to say it in public!

As a result, these people were directly scolded by Zhu Biao!

In the end, the matter of moving the capital to Xi'an Prefecture was determined by the general trend and the principle of the minority obeying the majority.

Many ministers also felt that it was the best choice to let Zhu Biao and the others go to Xi'an Mansion first!

Especially the six ministers, they could only truly see the benefits of moving the capital to Xi'an Prefecture after they arrived!

After all, nowadays I basically listen to what others say or read what is written on paper. How can what I see with my own eyes be more reliable?

If even the six ministers are satisfied, others will naturally have no objections!

In other words, it’s useless for them to have opinions because no one will care!

In addition, Lan Yu, a group of Huaixi nobles, felt that it would be more appropriate to move their family to Hanzhong Prefecture. Even if the capital was moved to Xi'an Prefecture, it would be better to go to Hanzhong Prefecture to buy a few houses. They even thought of giving away their ancestral tombs. Move there!

Of course, Lan Yu and the others are just thinking about it, and they also know that the chance of realizing it is basically zero!

After all, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he would definitely not allow it!

Unless you retire and return to your hometown, and settle down in Hanzhong as an ordinary citizen, at most you will be given a title. But if you want to live in Hanzhong Mansion while working, that is just a dream!

Of course, if you secretly buy a house in Hanzhong, no one will care about you, but you have to be in Xi'an!

But what Lan Yu and others didn't expect was that after they arrived in Hanzhong, basically everything they thought about would come true!

But that’s all a story for another day!

The matter of moving the capital to Xi'an has begun to be implemented. Zhu Biao, the six ministers and the nobles are preparing to leave for the northwest in the past few days. This has also made Li Xin, who has always been worried, finally relax!

After returning home from the Yamen in the evening, Li Xin was in a good mood and couldn't help but have a few drinks. The smile on his face never stopped!

"Isn't it just that I can see my grandson?"

"There are not only so many grandsons in the family, but also many biological grandsons. Why don't I see you so rare?"

Li Xin's first wife, Mrs. Jiang, looked at her old man's happy look and couldn't help but say with disdain.

After all, the palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh. Although she also wanted to see her daughter who was married to Hanzhong and her newborn grandson, she couldn't favor one over the other, right?

Seeing how much my grandpa cares about his grandson, my three grandsons all have some opinions!

"What do you, a woman, know?"

When Li Xin heard this, he curled his lips in disapproval!
