Obviously, Zhu Di deliberately let the prince hide behind the screen, just to let him hear what Wang Xian said. Zhu Di is scheming and vicious, how can he not see Wang Xian's slippery head? For this kind of bastard who talks about people and talks nonsense, only this method can cure him!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang Xian shouted in shock.

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly at Wang Xian and did not speak, but from his eyes, he could still see a trace of anger and a little disdain.

Seeing that his differentiation strategy was immediate, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and stood up and said: "What Wang Xian said is good, but it's a pity that the pattern is too small!" As he spoke, he looked at the huge map hanging on the west wall of the front of the Qianqing Palace and said: "This map has been hanging here for half a year, and you have all seen it many times, but no one can understand my painstaking efforts!" ”

Wang Xian and Zhu Gaochi looked at the map, only to find that it was not the entire map of the Ming Dynasty, but a map that was more extensive in all directions, even more than the heyday of the Mengyuan Dynasty!

"It is said that I moved the capital to defend against the Mongols, so as not to underestimate me!" Zhu Di walked to the map, opened his arms and said, "I have passed through Mongolia!" Pioneer Liaodong! Set up Nurgandus! Explore the Western Regions! Take control of Uszor! Send Zhang Fu to conquer Annam and set up a political envoy! Send Zheng He to count the West! Tianwei as far as Malaga! My grand plan is to make all the sun and moon shine and rivers to be Han land! In this way, we live up to the name of the country of my Ming Dynasty! ”

Wang Xian listened secretly, and couldn't help but quickly make eye contact with the prince, the prince hurriedly signaled him not to show his stuffing, Wang Xian hurriedly put on a flattering posture, and his excited voice trembled: "The whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the minister was born in the prosperous era of Yongle, how fortunate it is?!" The ministers must be smeared with liver and brain, and work hard for His Majesty's ambition! ”

"Hahaha!" Zhu Di couldn't help laughing out loud, sweeping away the haze of the past few days, and glancing at the prince proudly. As if to say, your son, your number one commander, is on my side!

The prince remained expressionless, but looked like he was holding back his anger.

The emperor no longer paid attention to the crown prince and asked Wang Xian, "I sent you to Shandong, are you unhappy?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there is no such thought!" Wang Xian knew that he had passed the inspection, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and replied without hesitation: "The emperor has entrusted the ministers with important tasks, and the ministers are only worried about whether they are able to do it or not, and they are only entrusted by the saint!" ”

"Good! I hope that's what you think in your heart! Zhu Di nodded approvingly, and said in a deep voice: "Not bad!" I sent you to Shandong for no other reason, it was because the situation over there had reached the point where it was on the verge of breaking out! As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xian tightly and said: "I appointed you as the governor of Qincha Shandong, and gave the king the order of chess and cards, which can control the officials of the third division of Shandong, and the fourth grade and below will be cut first and then played!" After a pause, he took out half of the yellow jade talisman in his sleeve and checked it in his hand, which seemed to be quite hesitant.

Wang Xian didn't speak, waiting for the emperor to finish...... Sure enough, Zhu Di finally handed the half of the jade talisman to Wang Xian, and said in a solemn voice: "Put it away, if you lose it, I will copy your nine clans!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Xian hurriedly took it with both hands, and then put it away closely.

"It must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary." The emperor was still not at ease, and said sharply: "If you take it out casually, I will clean you up!" Remember! ”

"Remember!" Wang Xian nodded hurriedly yes.

"Go ahead!" Zhu Di waved his hand, glanced at the prince and said, "His Royal Highness the prince should also go." ”

"Yes." The crown prince and Wang Xian bowed together......

Out of the Qianqing Palace, Wang Xian wanted to step forward to help the prince, but Zhu Gaochi flicked his sleeves and said: "Don't dare to send Lord Lao Qincha!" It's just that no one saw it, Zhu Gaochi used his sleeve as a cover, and shook hands with Wang Xian.

Then, in Wang Xian's cramped and uneasy gaze, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let the two little eunuchs support him and walk away angrily.

Wang Xian's eyes were full of sadness, and it took a while to slow down, and he saw His Royal Highness the Taisun coming.

Zhu Zhanji walked up to Wang Xian, patted him on the shoulder, and said with sympathy in his eyes: "You know my suffering, right?" ”

"Hey......" Wang Xian nodded in frustration, Zhu Zhanji grabbed his arm and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, everything is with me." ”

"Okay." Wang Xian nodded again, hugged Zhu Zhanji hard, and then left the palace a little depressed.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Wang Xian's back, his expression was a little relaxed, he turned around and entered the main hall, and saw his imperial grandfather standing in front of the map, still fascinated.

"Grandpa." Zhu Zhanji bowed.

"Well, they're not acting, are they?" Zhu Di didn't look back and asked slowly.

"My grandson saw it with his own eyes, and my father pushed him away." Zhu Zhanji said softly: "Grandpa Huang also knows that my father has never been a fraud, and he has let those Confucian scholars take it badly, and his mind is full of different ways and no conspiracy. Since Wang Xian supports the relocation of the capital, my father will naturally ignore him anymore......"

"Idiot." Zhu Di snorted, stopped continuing the topic, and said, "How are you preparing for tomorrow's debate?" ”

"Sun Er has already passed the anger with the ministers, and several scholars at that time, as well as Jian Shangshu and Xia Shangshu, will all speak." Zhu Zhanji hurriedly replied softly.

"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded, and asked again, "What about those officials?" Have you communicated with them? ”

"It's been communicated." Zhu Zhanji said softly.

"How?" Zhu Di's eyes turned cold and said.

"Not very optimistic...... Zhu Zhanji swallowed his mouth and said softly: "Those guys are all elm heads, and they don't get oil and salt very much." ”

"No matter what, it can't go wrong!" Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Even if you grind, you have to smooth out their edges and corners!" ”

"Yes." Zhu Zhanji responded softly, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart......

The next day, the first spring rain of the year fell, and in the city of Beijing in early February, the spring was still cold, but the officials of the two groups who participated in the debate all came to the square outside the noon gate on time, and none of them were absent. After bowing to the emperor and the crown prince sitting on the noon gate, the ministers sat on the left side of the noon gate under the guidance of the eunuchs, and the seats were also roofed. The officials were not in a good position, so they stood on the right side of the noon gate, and there was nothing to stop the rain, and they were all drenched like chickens in soup, but no one felt embarrassed or insulted.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the emperor and the crown prince on the city tower, took a deep breath, and let the officials speak first. One of them took the lead in the matter, and said in a loud and generous voice: "The capital of Jinling is the foundation of a country, the place where Taizu founded the country!" Where is my Ming Emperor's vein! The people of Pingtou still know that the ancestral tomb cannot be left lightly, how can a country lightly remove the imperial vein? If you don't stop the precipice and repent of repentance, I'm afraid that the three major halls will be on fire just the beginning! ”

That's all for the matter, it's basically Xiao Yi's, this can't anger the emperor on the noon gate, Zhu Di laughed, and said to the prince standing on the side: "That's it, it's not new." ”

"There is only one truth, how can it come and go." The prince is not soft or hard, but he almost didn't give the emperor a back.

After the matter was finished, Zhu Zhanji asked the senior officials of the ministry to speak, and the adults looked at each other, and Jin Chun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in getting up and speaking, he slowly paced two steps, walked to the canopy, and looked at the officials who were like chickens in the soup majestically, and the momentum of the senior officials of the ministry was fully displayed.

After putting on a posture, Jin Chuncai spoke: "Most of you are around thirty years old, and you may not know much about your ancestors. This official is two rounds longer than you, and he is also an official of the Ministry of Rites, so I can still talk to you about some ancestral matters. ”

Seeing that he put on old qualifications as soon as he came up, and he also oppressed people with one ancestor, the officials naturally showed indignation, but they could only listen to him: "Fifty years ago, Emperor Taizu Gao founded this dynasty, although the capital was Nanjing, but from the beginning, Emperor Taizu felt that Nanjing as the capital of the Ming Dynasty was not very suitable!" ”

The officials couldn't help it, and some even opened their mouths to reprimand: "What nonsense! ”

"Quiet!" His Royal Highness, who was the presiding officer, naturally hurriedly maintained order, "If you have anything to say, wait for Jin Butang to finish speaking!" ”

The officials had no choice but to stop, and Jin Chun continued: "Because it is biased towards the south of the Yangtze River, it is very unfavorable to control the vast north. In the first year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu issued an edict, saying: 'Jiangzuo opens the foundation and establishes the foundation of the four seas and the eternal Qing; The Central Plains is governed, and the heart of the whole country is treated equally. Jinling, Daliang as the south, Beijing. This is well documented, if you haven't heard of it, you can go to this official and check the original copy of Emperor Taizu's holy decree! Jin Chun obviously came prepared, and after speaking, the two Chinese officials showed a holy decree that had been around for some years. It's just that it's raining a lot, and it's inconvenient to show it in the official group, but it's obviously impossible to fake this kind of thing.

"So," Jin Chun looked at the officials who were a little surprised, and was very satisfied with the current effect, and said in a louder and louder voice: "Therefore, the establishment of the north and south capitals is not created today, but is actually the ancestral family law of Emperor Taizu!" ”

On the city tower, Zhu Di was very happy, glanced at the prince standing on the side and said: "Those officials are young, they don't know this stubble, the prince should understand." ”

"Erchen did hear about it." Zhu Gaochi said expressionlessly: "But Daliang is located in Kaifeng, Henan, not Beiping." ”

"The girder is not suitable...... Zhu Di snorted, "Naturally, we have to change places." ”

"Later, Emperor Taizu considered that Kaifeng was still dilapidated, and the grandeur of the Northern Song Dynasty had long since disappeared, and the Yellow River was seriously flooded, so it was really unworthy of being the royal capital." Under the city, Jin Shangshu then preached the ancient way to the young officials: "In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu deeply felt that Nanjing was in trouble and could not continue, so he wanted to move the imperial court to Chang'an, with Yingtian as Nanjing, Kaifeng as Beijing, and Linhao as the central capital. In August, Taizu sent Prince Yiwen to inspect Shaanxi, just to let him investigate whether Xi'an was suitable as the capital! After Prince Yiwen returned, he thought that the king of Chang'an had gone, and he was located in the west, which was not suitable for Dingdu. Later, Prince Yiwen died early, and Taizu was old, so the matter of moving the capital was temporarily shelved. ”

"Therefore, today we have decided to set the north and south of Beijing and move the capital to Beijing, which is to continue the unfinished ambition of Taizu!" Jin Chun arched his hand to the head of the city and said loudly: "Why do you want to go to Jinling lightly, there is a saying that it hurts the national body?!" ”
