Chapter 226: The Myth of the Six Elements
Wang Rui went to Wusha and begged for death.
In the Fengtian Palace, the atmosphere is extremely solemn, and the feeling of depression is almost suffocating. No one dared to look around, even Lan Yu, who had always been flamboyant, lowered his head, Zhu Biao was full of anxiety, but he didn't dare to say anything. This is Fengtian Palace, it is the early dynasty, it is not their father and son, they can be presumptuous, talk casually, even if Lao Zhu does not settle accounts with him, he will take Wang Rui and even more people.
Zhu Biao didn't want to save people, but hurt Mr.
The other civil servants were silent. Opposition to moving the capital is almost their consensus. Not to mention the staggering cost of moving the capital, but more importantly, changing the new capital represents a retilt of resources.
No matter where they move, Jiangnan's status will be impacted, and correspondingly, their interests will also be affected.
If it is placed on the other emperors, it is estimated that the ministers will all kneel down and force the palace together. But when they met Zhu Yuanzhang, this trick didn't work, and they didn't dare to use it.
On the contrary, there are still many people who are worried, for fear that Lao Zhu will take the opportunity to make trouble.
Wang Rui's death came too suddenly!
The old gentleman should wait, there is no need to be in such a hurry!
Just when the civil officials were worried, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke, "Master Wang, you let me kill you, I have mercy, how can I kill people easily." ”
The emperor took the initiative to take back his words, which made the civil officials happy, but the next sentence made them fall into the ice hole.
"I just want to ask you, did you say that letting me condemn myself has anything to do with moving the capital?"
Wang Rui's mouth opened wide, and his head went blank in an instant. How to answer? Is it related, or is it not related?
He was stunned, and Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly, "At these times, there are not many things happening in the imperial court, one of them, I decided to move the capital, and it happened that north of the palace, the ground collapsed. You and others admonished together, hoping that I would make an edict against myself. Although the tone is vague, they all accuse me of being wrong, so I am thinking, where is my mistake? Is it a matter of moving the capital? ”
"Wang Rui!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his tone and asked sharply, "What?" Dare to do it or not? ”
The old man was trembling all over at the moment, cold sweat was running down his sideburns, and his heart was like ashes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, and the old minister implores His Majesty to make a decree to fulfill the death of the old minister!"
Aren't you afraid of death, Zhu Yuanzhang has changed the nature of the case, you are forming a party for personal gain, you are a conspiracy to oppose the relocation of the capital, and you have bad intentions.
Quietly, the offensive and defensive momentum of the monarch and the minister changed.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand viciously and said angrily: "I want to die now, it's too late!" The officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison, talking nonsense, and other courtiers, pandered in every way. Do you dare to say that there is no party for personal gain? No collusion behind the scenes? I moved the capital for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's thousand-year-old foundation. Wait for flies and dogs, a nest of snakes and rats! In order to obstruct the relocation of the capital, he actually used the words of the sky to change people's hearts! I ask you, since I ascended the throne, have you been slacking off? I'm a little sorry for the people? Why did Heaven punish me? Why do you insist that it is a warning from heaven? ”
"I must know that you are bent on framing your father, is this your way of being a minister?"
Crash!
Facing Lao Zhu's questioning, he instantly knelt down a large piece.
Zhan Hui, the secretary of the ministry, as the head of the new hundred officials, knelt on the ground, touched the ground with one head, and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers will never dare to frame the monarch's father, let alone talk nonsense, the reason for the collapse of the palace has been found, and the ministers think that they should immediately promulgate the world, so that the subjects can know the truth, correct the hearts of the people, and put an end to some people's gossip to confuse the people and confuse the people." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time and snorted with his nose.
"I know that many of you are greedy for the prosperity of the capital and the comfort of the south of the Yangtze River, and I wish I didn't want to move the capital. But have you ever thought about it, there is a big river in the north of Jinling, and the style of writing is better and the spirit of businessmen is stronger. How many good men who fought on the battlefield, when they arrived in Jinling, within a few years, they were fat and became waste! ”
Lao Zhu regretted and hated, Xungui's side, Tang He shrunk his neck that didn't exist, he wouldn't talk about himself, right?
"I saw it in my eyes and was anxious in my heart, and it has only been a few years of hard work that I have become like this. Corrupt officials have been killed repeatedly, hundreds of officials have formed parties for personal gain, and if this goes on for a long time, how can I be known for thousands of generations? I decided to move the capital, that is, to choose a simple and down-to-earth people, majestic and vast imperial capital. Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and these three places are all options, so wait to discuss and know the results as soon as possible. I will say again, the matter of moving the capital is urgent, who dares to obstruct it, I am ruthless under the knife! ”
Liu Chun stood in the crowd, silently listening to Lao Zhu's speech, in the past, he dealt with Zhu Yuanzhang, and always felt that Lao Zhu was a bit like the uncle next door, but his temper was a little bigger, and it was not a big deal.
But when he really comprehended Lao Zhu's majesty in the Golden Palace, looking at the trembling appearance of the hundred officials, he was simply thrown to the ground.
Wang Rui wanted to use his life to stop him, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to him at all, and left the old man aside, who dared to stop him, not only the person who spoke would die, but even Lao Wang would lose his head.
This is called leading but not provoking, forcing hundreds of officials to bow their heads.
Who said that Lao Zhu can only kill people, how beautiful this power trick is.
Liu Chun came down from the Golden Palace, kept reminiscing, and admired it. Lan Yu suddenly chased after him from behind, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, why don't you speak?" ”
Liu Chun rolled his eyes, "I said Liang Guogong, what do you want me to say, do you encourage you to move the capital, or stay in Jinling?" ”
"This ......" Lan Yu scratched his head, he was also quite embarrassed, "I hope to move to the north, closer to the battlefield, I can also be useful, stay in Jiangnan, the bones of my body are frozen, I am afraid that in a few years, I will become a waste." It's just ......" Lan Yu is embarrassed.
Liu Chun chuckled: "It's just that the people below are reluctant to leave Jiangnan, so they plead with Liang Guogong and go to advise His Majesty, right?" ”
Lan Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "I'm a martial artist, I don't know how to speak, I'm thinking, how about letting your kid help me talk to Your Majesty?"
"Not good!"
Liu Chun said angrily, "You don't have the guts, I have the guts?" Don't you see? Today, His Majesty has set the tone, obstructing the relocation of the capital, forming a party for personal gain, and trapping the monarch's father in injustice. Who dares to talk nonsense, but they want to be with Wang Rui. My head is not so iron, anyway, no matter how Your Majesty arranges it, I support it. ”
"You don't have an opinion!" Lan Yu said viciously.
"I am a courtier, everything is up to the Son of Heaven! What else do you want to be assertive? ”
Lan Yu was asked speechlessly, a courtier, what do you want?
He gritted his teeth and struggled for a long time, grandma's, I'm also a courtier, don't talk nonsense,
In fact, the problem of the subsidence of the palace has long been symptomatic, and when it rains in recent years, the rain in the north will be silted, and in serious cases, it will take several days to drain out.
Originally, everyone was still hiding from the emperor, thinking that more things were better than less things.
As a result, the root of the problem was pointed out by Liu Chun, and it was impossible not to face it.
Let's move, move simply!
Lan Yu can see it.
But the problem is that there are not many people as simple as Lan Yu!
In particular, many people's family businesses are placed in Jinling, which is not only civil servants, but also nobles. What will happen to their shops? The silk produced by those workshops, except for selling it to dignitaries and dignitaries, can ordinary people afford to wear it?
One of the most realistic problems is that a good shop house in the capital can be sold for 500 taels of silver, and some even exceed 1,000 taels.
The capital is gone, and the price is at least halved.
And when it was decided to move the capital, the big guys had to sell their properties and go to the new capital to buy their family businesses.
Here you are in a hurry to sell, and you are in a hurry to buy there, and you have to come and go, how much money will you lose?
Twenty years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to move the capital, maybe it was possible, but today, it is inextricably linked, and it is really not easy.
Wang Rui touched the nail and was thrown to the edict prison by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the gang in Qin Tianjian were also arrested.
However, Lao Zhu did not interrogate, but just let it go.
The meaning is very clear, don't force me to lift the prison and kill another river of blood.
The officials in the DPRK are also very smart, and if they can't touch it hard, then outwit it.
What to do?
They waited and waited, and finally waited for a godsend.
In the capital in March, the most lively thing is not the big drama of moving the capital, but the triennial imperial examination.
This is the entertainment that the common people like to see.
Once every three years, witness the inspiring drama of Toad Palace, Tian Shelang, and Tianzi Hall at dusk.
The apricot list is fragrant, try to see the champion fall!
Just opposite the Ministry of Rites, above the restaurant, a young man smiled and was full of confidence.
"In the eyes of our Jiangxi talents, there are no difficult exam questions. Three sessions and nine days, in fact, it only took me two days to answer each session, if the examiner hadn't allowed it, I would have come out earlier,"
"Isn't it just to take the Four Books and Five Classics? The questions are very simple, and there is nothing difficult about them. It's just that the room is too small to stretch out your arms and legs......"
In the corner, Xu Guan held the wine glass tightly, the green tendons on his forehead were bulging, his hands trembled, and he hung a heart nervously.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, it's time to post the emperor's list!" ”
For a moment, the restaurant fell into a brief silence, followed by a boil......
