Chapter 1258: Voices Outside the Strings
Zhao Hao felt very interesting when he heard it, and when the situation was good, the reaction of normal people to end the Northern Expedition was painful, or sighing, sad and inexplicable, or even doing some radical behavior, he felt that it was very normal, and what the hell was 'relieved'? Could it be that he is self-inflicted and overestimates people's expectations for the recovery of their homeland?
"Your Majesty, the government and the opposition are very excited about the Northern Expedition to recover Lianghuai and some areas of Jingdong East Road, and they are also excited about the recovery of Yingtianfu, and they all praise Your Majesty's martial arts. However, there are still some complaints about continuing the Northern Expedition, and the reason is really a little unspeakable. Wang Yinglin said with a guilty face.
"I have made it clear, it is only a private word, there are no taboos, and I will never blame for any words, I can say anything directly." Zhao Hao emphasized again, to be honest, he was also curious about this strange reaction.
Your Majesty also knew that the Northern Expedition was costly, and the officials in the DPRK and China were all under heavy pressure, lest the slightest mistake would lead to the failure of the Northern Expedition, which would cause turmoil, and even the Jiangnan would fall again, so they were all trembling and exhausted under the pressure. Therefore, if the end of the Northern Expedition is announced at this time, everyone will naturally feel much more relaxed, at least they can breathe a sigh of relief. Wang Yinglin said.
"Hehe, this is my negligence, this Northern Expedition can be said to be the strength of the whole country, the whole army poured out, if it is defeated, it will be a situation where all the dishes are lost, so that the ministers are frightened with me!" Zhao Yu thinks about it, he is confident to win this war, but it does not mean that everyone is confident. And the defeat of the war not only wasted the previous achievements, but also reversed the situation, their own lives were not easy, and those who advocated the Northern Expedition were also sad. It is still light to be criticized by the government and the opposition, and even take the blame for failure, causing ruin, disrepute, official resignation, and years of struggle being ruined, so it is understandable that he will accept it when he sees it.
"Your Majesty's royal conquest is invincible, and there is no defeat happening, and the ministers are worried about the sky." Wang Yinglin smiled with his hand, "Yingtianfu is the place where Taizu founded the hidden dragon, and there is a royal original temple, which is a place to enshrine the three first emperors of Taizu, Taizong and Zhenzong. ”
"Kaifeng is the former capital of our dynasty in Tokyo, which first fell into the hands of the Jurchens, and was occupied by the Mongols, resulting in the loss of the capital of our dynasty for more than 100 years, which is really a great shame for our dynasty. After moving south, recovering the old capital is not only the wish of the emperors of the past dynasties, but also the expectation of people with lofty ideals in our court, why is the old capital close at hand but retreating? Zhao Yu asked, but in his heart, he wondered if everyone was the same as he thought, Kaifeng had been abandoned for too long and lost its original value, so he thought of giving it up as a bargaining chip with Meng Yuan!
Yingtianfu was indeed of great significance to the Zhao and Song dynasties, as it was both the land of the Northern Song Dynasty and the founding capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin did the Zhou Guide Festival envoy, after the Chen Qiao mutiny, called the emperor in Kaifeng Dingdu, remembered to make a career in Songzhou, and set the country name as Song. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers went south, and the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Nanjing (Songzhou) in Yingtianfu in May of the second year of Jingkang, and only went south to Hangzhou after more than 40 days. The reason why he ascended the throne in Yingtianfu and established the Southern Song Dynasty was precisely because this place was an auspicious place for the Song Dynasty.
In addition, the original temple built in Yingtianfu was used as a place for the royal family to pay homage to their ancestors, and according to its etiquette system, pilgrimages were held every year. Even after the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, after it moved south with the imperial court, the fire god enshrined here also became the soul of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the later period of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Aizong also took this place as the capital, which was to borrow the blessings of the auspicious land of the Great Song Dynasty in order to repeat the glory of yesterday. As the birthplace of the ancestors, it is also the location of the temple, so it is not surprising that the government and the opposition can understand Zhao Hao's insistence on recovering Ying Tianfu.
"Your Majesty, after all, our dynasty has moved south to the south of the Yangtze River for more than 100 years, and has taken Hangzhou as its line, which has also made Jiangdong prosperous. Even the soldiers and civilians who moved with them have settled in Jiangnan for a hundred years, and after several generations, they have become accustomed to the terroir of Jiangnan and have long since lost their hometown. And once Kaifeng was recovered, they were worried that His Majesty would abandon his stay in Hangzhou and move the capital to Bianjing. In this way, not only the officials of the imperial court will have to relocate, but also the wealthy families in Beijing will also move to the new capital, which will lead to the loss of the dragon spirit in the south of the Yangtze River, and there will be no prosperity at this time. Wang Yinglin didn't feel funny.
In fact, he also understood that 'walking in' meant the place where the Son of Heaven was. After the change of Jingkang, after Zhao Jianyan ascended the throne in the first year of Tianfu, in order to avoid the attack of the Jin soldiers, he was exiled to Yangzhou, Pingjiang Mansion, Hangzhou, Jiankang Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion and other places in the name of patrol. In the meantime, when Jianyan was stationed in Hangzhou in February of the third year, the edict thought that it was the palace, and Hangzhou was promoted to Lin'an Mansion, which was actually the capital of Lin'an, but it was still nominally called Xingzai, and the Tokyo Bianliang City, where the tombs of the first emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties were located, was still called Jingshi, and Hangzhou was not called Jingshi even before Lin'an was captured by the Mongols.
After the little emperor inherited the remnant Song Dynasty, he still believed that the Beijing division would always be Bianjing Kaifeng, and was determined to go on a northern expedition to recover the old capital. Therefore, Wang Yinglin also believes that after recovering Kaifeng, it is inevitable to consider moving, but it is not so easy, and it cannot be decided overnight. First of all, even if Kaifeng is recovered, and the Central Plains are not recovered, then Kaifeng is the front of the battlefield, and the emperor will be stupid to move the capital to a place of four wars in a hurry, but no matter how you look at it, the little emperor is an extremely shrewd person, and he will definitely not make those brainless times. Although it is the monarch and the minister who mentioned this matter in private, he can also see that he has the intention of ending the war in Yingtianfu.
Secondly, Kaifeng City has experienced natural disasters and wars for a hundred years, and has long been unrecognizable, and if you want to move, you must rebuild the city, rebuild the palace, dredge the canal, and build water conservancy. These projects are huge, costing countless financial and manpower resources, and the current imperial court cannot afford them. And even if you have money, it will take time to build, so I don't know that the year of the monkey can put the relocation of the capital on the agenda, and those people are really worried about it early.
"Moving the capital is a major event of the country, so how can it be moved lightly. But to restore Ying Tianfu to Nanjing, I don't know what Bo Hou thinks! Zhao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile, in his heart, he had already given up the plan to use Kaifeng as the capital, let alone move at this time. But since someone wants to make trouble with this, he might as well release the rumor that the capital will not be moved for the time being, so as to break the rumors and stabilize people's hearts.
"The minister personally thinks that the time is not ripe to restore the status of Nanjing, its south controls the Jianghuai, the north is adjacent to Heji, Pengcheng is on its left, Bianliang is connected to its right, and the shape is better than the contact, which is enough to protect the southeast, and the throat of Shaanxi is the main road between the north and south of the river. At present, the border with Mengyuan will inevitably become a place of war, and once it is lost, it will cause the government and the opposition to shake. Wang Yinglin said.
"However, this Northern Expedition to recover the two Huai and Huaibei important places is not as significant as Kaifeng. If Your Majesty has the heart to stop the war in Yingtianfu, the restoration of the name of Nanjing is also of great significance, second only to the recovery of Kaifeng, so the minister thinks that the restoration of the name of Nanjing can inspire the hearts of the people of the government and the wilderness, and can show His Majesty's immortal achievements! ”
"Well, that's true. But once Tianfu is promoted to Nanjing, it needs to be guarded by important ministers, and Bohou can be elected? Zhao Yu nodded and asked again. In fact, he knew that once Tianfu was promoted to the capital, then with the improvement of the city's political status, the rank of the chief official would also rise. According to the convention, Nanjing should be left behind as the chief of the prison department, but generally Ying Tianfu will be concurrent, the palace key and the capital guard, bomb pressure, repair, the money valley in the country, the soldiers and the people are all in short, it can be called a small prince.
In addition, the practice of the Song Dynasty was to build a god palace in the capital and some important places, because Yingtianfu was where the original temple of the Zhao family was located, and naturally there were three holy monarchs of Hongqing Palace and Feng'an. According to the patriarchal etiquette system and the official history system, the name of the official in charge of the affairs of the Hongqing Palace is to promote, although this position is not much affairs, usually more leisurely, but the people who hold this position have higher requirements, most of them are respected ministers, knowledgeable people, and high-level people.
Where the Hongqing Palace is promoted, either the royal family, or a person of high morality, or a literary giant, such as Zhao Lingjia is a cousin of Song Huizong, promoted Fan Chunli after being promoted to the prime minister, and then such as the great calligrapher Mi Fu, the famous lyricist Zhou Bangyan, Dr. You Xing, Longtu Pavilion to be made Lu Yun, the famous writer Huang Buzhi, the Southern Song Dynasty Dali Zhu Xi and so on have been appointed Hongqing Palace promotion, all of which are enough to show that Hongqing Palace has a greater influence on the politics of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and most of the people who enter can enter the phase, so although the yamen is cold, it is a popular official position.
"Shikai has been walking in front of the emperor for many years, and he is knowledgeable, calm and reasonable, thoughtful, and familiar with military and political affairs. As for the promotion of Hongqing Palace, the ministers heard that Chen Shangde in the government and the opposition had a very high voice, and many officials and scholars recommended it! Wang Yinglin was silent for a moment, as if he had mustered up the courage to speak.
He knew that several of the directors who had previously joined the Imperial Front Office had already left the town and held important positions. Zhuang Gongcong is indifferent to the official position, does not care about the level of the position, repeatedly refuses to join the local or ministerial positions, has stayed in the imperial front, and now presides over the affairs of the imperial front. And Chen Pu was indeed because His Majesty accepted the recommendation and ordered him to enter Beijing and leave the office, but he thought that science was the right way, and those clever numbers were just side hobbies, so he refused to serve as the priest of the Academy of Sciences, thus disgusting His Majesty. Although many courtiers asked for his life and let him become an official in the court, His Majesty kept letting him sit on the cold bench.
"Let Shikai serve as the guard of Nanjing, and use Chen Pu to raise Hongqing Palace? Isn't there something out of this? Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard this, frowned and groaned slightly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The minister has no other intentions! Seeing the little emperor's reaction, Wang Yinglin said with a little weakness......
