After Chen Ying finished speaking, she bent down slightly and looked at Zhu Gaochi humbly.He wanted to see some clues from Zhu Gaochi's face, but it was really difficult to see some changes from Zhu Gaochi's fat and wrinkle-free face, so Chen Ying could only stare at Zhu Gaochi's eyes instead.

After staring at it for a while, Chen Ying was disappointed. From the eyes of this young man who was more than 20 years younger than him, he didn't see any emotion.Zhu Gaochi's eyes are very calm, just like when he usually looks at others, regardless of the other's status and power, his eyes are always gentle, reserved, restrained, without any change.

The prince's city is much deeper than he imagined.

Chen Ying's calm heart, which had been suppressed all this time, was like a taut bowstring, and finally lost its strength. When his fingers were loosened, the bowstring trembled violently, and his heart jumped up sharply, which made his breathing quicken.

When he came, he didn't know whether he could be accepted by Zhu Gaochi. After repeated consideration, he believed that, with his ability and the power he possessed, the crown prince's position is not stable now, and the possibility of the prince accepting him was at least Seventy percent.There's no personal animosity between them, is there?

No matter how scheming and framed they were in the past, each is his own master!I, Chen Ying, are in charge of the speech officer and the mouthpiece of Ming Dynasty. This is the power the crown prince needs most now. Duke Heng of Qi is still willing to accept Guan Zhong. Why can't the crown prince become my son, Xiaobai, Chen Ying?

Even so, he was still cautious, and decided to use the opportunity of the officials and eunuchs to make a fortune by taking advantage of the opportunity of recruiting merchants in Yunnan to make a fortune, so as to find out the prince's mind.People need face, trees need bark, if it is really irreparable, at least you can't let your reputation and your future or even your life be ruined together.

Now it seems that he is going to miscalculate, and the idea of ​​changing the family is likely to fail.Sure enough, after being calm for a while, Zhu Gaochi suddenly smiled, and when Zhu Gaochi smiled, Chen Ying's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Zhu Gaochi's smile is as warm as a spring breeze, his voice is as warm as a spring breeze, and his words are even more gentle like a spring breeze: "The ministry is loyal to the court, diligent in doing things, and lonely and gratified. It is the emperor's consistent proposition to prohibit officials from competing for profit with the people. He will act in accordance with the holy order. If someone seeks power and fills his pockets, it is his job to be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He can collect evidence of crimes, find out the crimes, and rule him by the law of the country. The King of Han and Gutong are the supervisors , this matter should not be concealed, the Lord of the Ministry can report this matter to the King of Han."

Zhu Gaochi is sorry, really sorry.He knows that as long as he nods, Chen Ying can be used by him immediately, and the power that Chen Ying possesses can also be used by him. This person controls the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Speaker, which is very important for stabilizing his position .

However, he couldn't accept it.

Chen Ying had offended too many people, too many officials whose families were ruined by his impeachment, and those who had been hurt by Chen Ying, and those who were saddened by rabbits and foxes, most of them gathered under the banner of the crown prince. He could not accept Chen Ying. The banner of Hanwang has gone too far, too far. How easy is it to get out at this time?

More importantly, Chen Ying is the number one think tank of the King of Han. Everything that the King of Han has done over the years almost has the shadow of Chen Ying behind it.If Chen Ying does not fall, what reason is there for the King of Han to fall?This is like the father and emperor killing Fang Xiaoru, he had to kill him, he had to kill him, even if Fang Xiaoru had implicitly hinted at his attachment.

At the beginning, when the army started Jingnan, swore to be the master of Beiping, and announced it to the world, it was following the ancestor's instruction to Jingnan, and the Qing emperor side-stepping the sycophant.These sycophants are Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai.Emperor father won the world, no one can die, except these three people, it is absolutely impossible to live, if they are not killed, Jing Nan's righteous name will not be established, and the father is accused of usurping the throne and treason.

Therefore, the one who deserves to die can only die, just like Chen Ying today.

Chen Ying's orange peel-like old face twitched a few times, slowly bowed her body, and said in a low voice: "Then... old minister... leave!"

This voice, like fallen leaves blown by the wind, carries the rustling feeling of autumn...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Early the next morning, the General Secretary received a memorial from Chen Ying's envoy: He is ill, very seriously ill.

The doctor said that he needed a long period of recuperation, and Chen Ying was in an important position, and worried that it would delay state affairs, so he asked to retire from old age and return to his hometown.Zhu Gaochi read Chen Ying's memorandum, just smiled lightly, and wrote a line of big characters: "This is a matter of appointing and dismissing officials, and it is submitted to the emperor for judgment!"

Zhu Gaochi didn't take Chen Ying seriously, they had to temporarily stop all their preparations because the emperor suddenly issued an edict ordering all officials to "discuss moving the capital".The Crown Princess came back from Fuguo Duke's Mansion and brought Xia Xun's opinion, which only consisted of eight words: "Stay still, adapt to the situation!"

It seems that Fu Guogong, who has always been exhaustive about the emperor's intentions, is a little confused, so Zhu Gaochi has to put aside the matter and concentrate on dealing with the proposal of moving the capital.The impact of this matter is too far-reaching, and the involvement is too great. As soon as the emperor's edict was announced, the court exploded.

The move of the capital is a major matter related to the country and the country, and it is also closely related to every minister. For a while, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all involved in the debate. After only one day, the opinions of the courtiers began to be fed back one after another.There is no doubt that there are far more officials who oppose the move of the capital than those who agree, and the voice of approval is almost inaudible.

Ai Min Ru Zi faction said: Jinling has been the capital of the imperial court for more than 40 years.Once the capital is moved, great efforts have to be made to build Beijing and the Beijing Imperial Palace. In recent years, the imperial court has repeatedly carried out projects and raised troops, and the people are exhausted.

The national economy and people's livelihood faction said: Beijing's wealth supply and population are both problems. Although the imperial court has river and sea transport, and is gradually dredging some sections of the canal that have been silted up for a long time, if the imperial court moves north, Beijing will suddenly increase a large number of bureaucrats. The current river and sea transportation needs to be expanded several times in order to supply the supplies needed by the army, family members, and even the garrison. At least for now, this condition is not yet met.

The military geography school said: Beijing is too close to Beidi, less than two hundred miles away from the frontier fortress, there is no solid fence outside, and no strategic depth inside, once Beidi invades, breaks through the pass, and the horses let go of Yanshan, and Beijing will arrive at night, and put the emperor With such a dangerous place, it is too dangerous.

Some people were worried that the capital would move to the north, and the crown prince would have another competitor when he arrived at King Zhao's territory, but the reason for this could not be stated clearly, so they joined an opposition party at will and made a grandiose speech.

In addition, many people strongly opposed moving the capital out of personal, family, and hometown interests.Because of the well-developed culture and education in Jiangnan, and the largest number of scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangnan, officials from Jiangnan accounted for the vast majority of the court.The relocation of the capital will undoubtedly touch their personal, family and hometown interests, and naturally they strongly oppose it.

Not only them, but also most of the meritorious officials and relatives who followed Emperor Hongwu to conquer the country. Most of them were born in the south of the Yangtze River. Their homes are here and their roots are here. Who would travel thousands of miles to Beijing.Besides, compared with Jinling, Beijing is far less prosperous than Jinling. If there are good places to stay, who would like to settle down in those remote mountains and remote places.

Wealthy gentry and landlords among the people strongly objected when they heard the news. When Zhu Yuanzhang built Fengyang, the central capital, he forcibly relocated [-] wealthy households to Fengyang. , there is no guarantee that they will not be included.

Either someone in their family is an official in the court, or has a deep relationship with a court official. At this time, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their abilities, and using their connections one after another to express the strongest opposition in the court.

There is also the school of Mr. Fengshui, who quoted Zhuge Kongming as saying: "Zhongshan is a dragon plate, a stone is a tiger, and the wall of Ziwei is shown, this is the emperor's house." Beijing's reason.

Yang Rong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is a representative of them. No matter what his original intention of opposing the move of the capital was, his memorial to the emperor was written in black and white: "The mountains and rivers of the world are majestic and magnificent, with a wide layout and nine stars arched together. Thousands of fights complement each other to form a brilliance, and there is no one that can be a capital than Jinling."

This objection by the Feng Shui School has aroused objections within the Feng Shui School. They have deep research on Feng Shui and Yi Li, and they don't care much about politics.They didn't care whether the emperor moved the capital or why others opposed moving the capital. Since someone mentioned Feng Shui, they naturally wanted to express their opinions.

They believe that "the mountain manages the people and the water manages the wealth". "Mountain" represents the back, governs health and prosperity of the population, and naturally includes national fortune.

From the perspective of Jinling Fengshui, the city of Nanjing faces south and relies on the north.

What is the mountain to the north?Jilong Mountain is called a mountain, but it is just a small mound about twenty feet high.Behind Jilong Mountain is Xuanwu Lake, and further north is Hongshan, which is about the same height as Jilongshan and is also a small mound.Further north of Hongshan is Mufu Mountain, the highest is only fifty feet, and then the Yangtze River.

Look, Jilong Mountain is a small mound, Hongshan is a small mound, Mufu Mountain is a little higher, but Shofu Mountain is in the shape of an irregular and slightly skewed wolf star, which is extremely unfavorable for the mountain.There are only three backing mountains behind Jinling, which are fragmented and weak. How can they support such a large city?

In addition, all the backings are backed by the Yangtze River, and there is no connection to large mountain ranges, so they cannot get the support of dragon veins.

What's more terrible is that the air of Fengshui "disperses by the wind, and is bounded by water". Xuanwu Lake, which covers an area larger than all the backing mountains, completely blocks the dragon air of Jinling's mountains. The earth atmosphere of the backing mountain has been dissipated, forming a completely empty Feng Shui shape.

Therefore, as long as there is chaos in the world, when Tai Sui travels to the evil Xuanwu Lake, corpses will be scattered all over the field, and the Qinhuai River will become a river of blood.

Although they only talked about Fengshui in terms of Fengshui, they didn't want to agree with Emperor Yongle's moving the capital, but this was the only voice that the eunuch sent by Zhu Di could hear that was in favor of moving the capital. Come down and transfer to Beijing.

As soon as these Fengshui experts said that Jinling was not good, those who were firmly opposed to moving the capital immediately found more Fengshui masters to refute.Those who think that Jinling's geomantic omen is not good cite an example from ancient times to the present, but no country with its capital in Jinling has a long-term fortune.

They also said that at the beginning, Liu Bowen had to make Jinling his capital because he was only following the holy will. In fact, he also knew that Jinling's geomantic omen was not good, so he took great pains to build the imperial palace on the east side of Jinling, next to Zhongshan to accommodate the geomantic omen.It did not build the imperial palace in the center of Jinling City like all the dynasties that established their capitals in Jinling in the past, but Zhongshan is not strong. Now it has kept the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years.

The opposition dismissed it, saying that Zhuge Kongming, who is so wise and close to the demon, praised Jinling Fengshui. Are you smarter than Kongming?Of course, no one dared to think that he was smarter than Zhuge Kongming, and the opposition seemed to have the upper hand at this moment, but some scholars and old Confucians who had just finished the "Yongle Dadian" and had not had time to leave Jinling heard this, but raised different views.

They said, when did Kong Ming praise Jinling Fengshui?It was when Kong Ming and Wu Kangcao went to see Sun Quan, and Kong Ming protected Uncle Liu. If Jinling was really the residence of the emperor, he told the people of Soochow that he urged Sun Quan to move his capital to Jinling. Could it be that he wanted to help Sun Quan rule the world?Soochow's national fortune is only 52 years, which shows that this is just Zhuge Liang's plan!

What these people said led to the archaeological school, who started an academic debate with them, that is: Zhuge Liang, who is proficient in Fengshui, told Wu people that Jinling is the residence of the emperor. Deliberately playing tricks on Sun Quan, using Feng Shui theory to achieve political goals, both sides quoted classics and argued eloquently.

In the entire city of Nanjing, the only ones who unequivocally supported the emperor's move of the capital were the generals of the Jingnan faction. Most of these big men came from the north with the emperor. Of course they would like to go back, so they kept applauding. As for why the capital move is good, they But can't say it.

There was a war of saliva in Jinling City, and the memorials piled up every day before the case of the prince and the cabinet scholars were like snowflakes. The prince did not dare to pick and choose the memorials for the proposal of moving the capital, and sent them all to Beijing. The postman in charge of delivering the memorials to Beijing Steep six-fold increase.

At this time, Xia Xun was in Mount Lu, alone.

He couldn't understand everything that happened in Jinling.

He knew very well that the emperor was aware of the open and secret struggle between the Crown Prince and the King of Han in Nanjing, and he also knew about his assassination. He went to the point of assassinating a minister in order to fight for the throne. This has touched the bottom line of any king, but Emperor Yongle did not respond Turning a deaf ear, he still sits quietly in Beijing, but issued such an edict to Nanjing, its intention is really intriguing.

Xia Xun couldn't understand it, but like a beast with keen senses, he intuitively felt the danger, and the danger made him shudder.So, he came to Mount Lushan. 500 years later, here, a giant once called a meeting of the world's heroes, and that meeting changed the lives of many influential people.

A gentleman introspects, Xia Xun comes here, he needs to be quiet and think about it.
