Mu Ningxue greeted Xu Qingtang and his wife at night, and when she came back, she also met Wang's sister-in-law and daughter, and when she saw her, she knelt down and kowtowed to thank her.

Mu Ningxue hurriedly instructed Zhiyun to help the person up, and while asking the reason, she took it to Daoxiang Village.

Wang's sister-in-law said happily: "Madame still pretends not to know, my daughter is supported by you, otherwise under the support of the girls, how can there be a bright future in this life?" ”

Mu Ningxue smiled: "You are the old man in the family, I finally opened my mouth, I can't refuse." This is also for your daughter, and I won't agree lightly to others, so that everyone in the province is uncomfortable. ”

"I know the rules." Wang's sister-in-law agreed again and again.

Mu Ningxue asked the little girl a few words, and her daughter only blushed and smiled, so she was not shy, and only said a few words shyly after a while.

Mu Ningxue asked again: "Your mother said that the third young master changed your name, what is your name?" ”

The girl smiled shyly: "Only one word has been changed, it is called Daimei." ”

Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "This is different from your original pronoun, probably seeing that your eyebrows are like green mountains, so I used the word Qingdai." It just so happens that the girls have made a new autumn coat, so you can get four sets to wear. ”

Sister-in-law Wang said with satisfaction: "Thank you Madame, my girl can eat and dress like her." Our mother and daughter are also powerless to repay each other, so we have to pray for your birthday day and night. ”

Mu Ningxue nodded with a smile, and Sister-in-law Wang sat and talked for a while, and got up happily to say goodbye.

The Xu family began to prepare for the trivial matters of Xu Jiang's wedding, and their own Xu Song's wife Yuan was responsible for taking care of a qiē, and Yuan was afraid of making jokes, so he asked his second sister-in-law Wang Xuanqing to help.

After the interior and exterior decoration of the house bought by Xu Wen was completed, the eldest lady Wang selected a group of family servants and personally ordered four maids to go over.

In the morning, Xu Hao and Ning Xue had breakfast, dressed neatly and prepared to enter the palace, and Qingwen handed over a gift post. said: "Uncle invites you to eat and drink." ”

Xu Hao has a headache, today he has to arrange for Zeng Qi to fight with the envoys, he has to go to the Great Headquarters and the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army to deal with official affairs, and he has to go to the Zongren Mansion; The eldest sister, whose brother-in-law was not at home, asked him to come over for dinner, and made an appointment to have a party with Wang Ji, Ma Fuyao, and them to discuss how to make Hu Desheng confess his guilt, and the whole day schedule was full.

Xu Wen's invitation couldn't help but go, Xu Hao said I know, came out to gather thirty guards, and rode to the Forbidden City.

Running and running, he caught up with Xu Qingtang's sedan chair halfway. Xu Hao slowed down and followed behind Lao Tzu, but it was only four days at this time.

Outside the brightly lit noon gate, the official sedan chair stopped for a long time, and one by one the officials wearing court clothes and black veils slowly walked out, and when they saw their colleagues and bosses, they greeted each other with smiling faces and stood together to talk.

Xu Hao's appearance made hundreds of civil and military officials hurriedly come over to greet him, which made Xu Qingtang very dissatisfied, and frowned: "You are not rare to participate in the early dynasty, let's go yours." ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Yes!" The son went into the palace to greet the queen. ”

"Go, go, go." Xu Qingtang, who had a feeling of fox and fake tiger power, was very embarrassed. waved his hand angrily, as if chasing a fly, which made the officials laugh secretly.

Xu Hao smiled bitterly and entered the Qianqing Palace along the Yongdao from the side door, where Zhu Gaochi was wearing a dark yellow dragon robe. The palace maid knelt on the ground to sort out the belt ornaments for him, the dragon robe was too fat, and it was estimated that she could make three clothes for Xu Hao.

The emperor's obesity honestly made many officials complain, especially when foreign envoys met with them. It's really too lacking in the majesty of the great tomorrow.

Zhu Gaochi smiled: "Why did you come to the court meeting today?" Unusual. ”

Xu Hao said: "I came to see my sister-in-law, not to see you, and I was amorous." ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is behind, not here, and you don't know the way." ”

Xu Hao also smiled: "By the way, I came to tell you, I found a candidate for the wine fight, it is Zeng Qi, the editor next to you." ”

"Zeng Qi?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, and then he said suspiciously: "I know that he is good at drinking, but this amount of wine can be compared to others?" ”

Xu Hao instructed the chamberlain: "You go and invite Master Zeng to come over." ”

After a while, the eunuch brought Zeng Qi from among the waiting officials, and Zhu Gaochi personally asked, "How much is Qingliang?" ”

Zeng Qi said respectfully: "No matter the amount." ”

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed and said: "It turns out that you still have such skills, Zhu Yong's kid wants to ask for battle, let him accompany you to entertain the envoys, I will always pay attention to you, don't fall into the majesty of my Ming, and I will have my own reward for victory." ”

"Obey." Zeng Qi took the order and left.

Zhu Gaochi immediately asked curiously, "How do you know that he is good at drinking?" ”

Xu Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Naturally, I was poured unconscious, I drank at least one jar of old wine that day, and he estimated that he drank more than three jars, I have never seen such a drink, strange people!" ”

Seeing Xu Hao admit that he was deflated, Zhu Gaochi laughed happily, and while laughing, he was supported by the four little yellow doors and went to Fengtian Palace.

Xu Hao gradually put away his smile, he always felt that Zhu Gaochi was morbid and obese, which was very affecting his lifespan.

Sighing and going to the inner palace, Queen Zhang said worriedly: "As soon as it rains, the palace will be flooded, and the foundations of many palaces have also collapsed. Zhan Ji said that instead of spending a lot of money to repair the palace, it is better to follow the last wish of the first emperor to build the Forbidden City in Beiping, and move the capital to the north on the day of completion, so as to guard the country. ”

Xu Hao remembered that Yao Guangxiao had vaguely said that Zhu Zhanji seemed to be in harmony with his father, and it seemed that it was true. Although Zhu Gaochi was born in the north, he lived in Jinling when he was a teenager because he was reluctant to move the capital. On the contrary, Zhu Zhanji admired his grandfather since he was a child, and even though he lived in Jinling after being sensible, he was determined to return to the north.

There are pros and cons to moving the capital to Beiping, which is undoubtedly strategically correct, but the cost of supporting Beijing is too great.

If you want to move the capital, you must first mobilize nearly one million people to build the North-South Grand Canal, and then you need to support the whole country, build a huge imperial palace, move the world's rich families to Beijing, and resettle all civil and military officials, etc., the manpower and material resources required can be imagined.

The most important thing is that with the death of Zhu Di, the officials who are mainly southerners are unwilling, who can decide to move the capital except Zhu Di?

It is estimated that the ambitious Zhu Zhanji saw that he couldn't convince his father, so he turned to his mother to come to Xu Hao, if Xu Hao agreed and persuaded Zhu Gaochi, then the matter would be half done.

The question is, why does Xu Hao care about moving the capital? In his previous life, the grass people really didn't have a good impression of the imperial city, and the Son of Heaven guarding the country made people feel enthusiastic, but since the Yongle Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was on the defensive side, and the land area did not increase but decreased, what is the point of guarding the gate?

Moving the capital to Beiping could indeed greatly enhance the imperial court's control of the border passes and pay more attention to the defense of the north, but Xu Hao didn't think it was a good thing, and the history of the last years of the Ming Dynasty was enough to illustrate.

In short, Xu Hao does not approve or object, Zhu Zhanji, if you have the ability, you will forcibly move the capital, and if you don't have the ability, you will be your emperor in Jinling.

If the capital is not moved, there may not be Yingzong captured, Zhengde is messing around, as for what to do once Beiping is occupied? Cold salad. If there is a kind of vigorous drive away the invaders, and if there is no seed, they will honestly become slaves of the country, which has nothing to do with whether they move or not?

Anyway, history has proven that moving the capital to Beiping did not prevent the demise of the Ming Dynasty, so Xu Hao didn't want to do much, and he could manage it after two hundred years?

So, Xu Hao didn't worry about the country and the people, and started Taijiquan, saying: "Beiping is the place where the first emperor Longxing is prosperous, and it must be taken seriously. However, whether to move the capital or not is a matter of importance, and the ministers will not express their opinions indiscriminately if they are sensitive, which will have to be discussed with the ministers. ”

Zhang frowned and said: "Someone has to be in charge of Beiping, I'm afraid of reappearing?" ”

Xu Hao immediately said: "This kind of thing will never happen again." Although the sister-in-law is relieved, the first emperor occupies the right time, place and people.

As a foreign minister, it is inconvenient for me to speak about this. As for the renovation of the Imperial Palace, the treasury is now abundant. It's okay to spend some money, as long as you don't have the luxury of building a new palace garden, the courtiers won't have an opinion. The minister retired. ”

After coming out, send someone to Zhang's house to inform him. Visit again tomorrow, or arrange for the eldest sister to go back to her parents' house for a few days.

Someone was sent to inform Wang Ji that they were coming to Xu Wen's new home, and he took someone over first.

The house chosen by Xu Wen is located in the prosperous area of the inner city, and it is said that it cost more than 10,000 taels of silver, with a tall cyan exterior wall and colorful buildings on both sides of the gate.

The subordinates saw Xu Hao coming from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him with a blow, and also fired three cannons.

About 20 family members stood on either side, and Xu Wen stood on the stone steps with a smile on his face, dressed in a new staff suit.

Many people stopped to watch, Xu Hao stepped off his horse and strode over, and said with a smile: "Big brother is fine." ”

Xu Wen said: "You came early, the old ladies and ladies haven't come here yet, you have a cup of hot tea first, and then go in to visit together after the second and third uncles come." ”

At that moment, Xu Hao was eating tea and chatting with Xu Wen in the gatehouse, and after a while, Xu Song came on horseback and said, "Xu Hai followed the convoy and arrived in about half an hour." My father went to the imperial city to wait for the second uncle to go to court, and I will rush over now. ”

After saying that, Xu Song left non-stop, and there were brothers from the Xu family clan who came to congratulate him with gifts, Xu Hao didn't expect the whole clan to be alarmed, and told Li Dong to inform Wang Ji that today's party was canceled.

A group of richly dressed men were talking and laughing inside and outside the door as if no one was around, talking about Xu Hao's righteousness, and he did not hesitate to enter the Shuntian Mansion for Xu Miao.

Li Mao, the second son-in-law of the Xu family, is now an official in the General Administration Department, and the eldest brother Li Fangguan worships Jingwei to command the envoy to be pacified by Wupin, and Zhu Gaochi is also ready to give back the Korean duke title of the Li family.

Therefore, Liu Mao and Liu Zhi gradually looked forward to Li Fang's horse, and they have been coming and going frequently in recent times, and the three of them have a similar smell and call them confidants, while Li Mao is unwilling to get close to them.

Xu Hao intends to return the current mansion to the Li family, and the return of the title, it is not interesting to continue to occupy the magpie's nest. But Princess Linqing and Li Mao strongly objected, and where to find a similar mansion in the capital? Even the slightly better empty houses have long been blessed.

Zhu Gaochi planned to allocate a piece of land to build a new British mansion, or to build a Korean mansion for the Li family, because it involved the face of the founding heroes and the heroes of the Jingjing, it was inevitable that he was a little hesitant, and he even dragged on with the title.

Xu Hao didn't say anything, if it weren't for the fact that his family was reluctant to leave the bustling capital, he really hoped to return to Xiaojia Village.

In the past, Li Fang didn't treat Xu Wen very well, but now when she sees Xu Wen, she is very affectionate, and deliberately said loudly: "What a house, Boss Xu is righteous." ”

This was obviously said to Xu Hao, Xu Hao didn't hear it, smiled and turned in.

Seeing this, Li Mao frowned and said, "Big brother, don't talk nonsense. (To be continued......)
