As they walked along, the workers stood on both sides of the avenue, all of whom knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor and the concubines.

Soon, Zhu Feng took those ministers to the bottom of the shed and sat down.

And Nanyan is naturally sitting next to him.

Looking at the ministers around her, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, her hands under the table, her palms sweating slightly.

At this moment, a hand reached over and took her hand.

Nanyan raised his head and looked at Zhu Feng, but saw that he didn't look at himself, his eyes were just looking forward firmly, and following his gaze, all the ministers also looked ahead.

It was the city walls that were struck by lightning.

The big black hole, which seemed to have been burned by fire, was terrifying to watch, and some blood stains could even be seen on the wall.

It was supposed to be left by the injured worker.

At this time, Gu Tingqiu walked over: "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Feng looked at him, then at the workers kneeling around, and said calmly, "Master Gu, what are you doing today?" ”

Gu Tingqiu said: "By the emperor's order, the workers who were injured by the collapsed city wall have been sent for treatment. Today, it's for them to clean up the masonry that was struck down by lightning. ”

Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Let them continue, there is no need to wait here." ”

"Yes."...

After speaking, Gu Tingqiu turned around and spoke to the following.

After a while, the sound of workers digging masonry sounded again under the city wall that had been struck by lightning.

A minister said: "Your Majesty, this place is the city wall that was struck by lightning that night. ”

Zhu Feng nodded.

Everyone couldn't help but talk about each other-

"It's so dangerous."

"yes, it's okay this time, not in the city."

"In case it is in a crowded place, I am afraid that there will be more dead and injured people, and when the time comes, how can we explain to the people."

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu raised his hand to Zhu Feng and saluted, "The emperor brought the micro-ministers here, and the micro-ministers also came." It was really sad to see this scene. Now, I only ask the emperor to obey the will of heaven, give up the construction of Beiping City, and return the people to peace. ”

Zhu Feng beckoned very calmly, and Xiao Shunzi immediately came over to be served tea by him.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Could it be that the ministers think that the people of Beiping are not at peace? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Immediately said: "Of course." ”

Zhu Feng said: "Indeed, I have been the king of Yan in Beiping for more than ten years, and I also know that the life of the people in Beiping is extremely unstable. Do you know who brought them this rest? ”

“……”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

However, before they could speak, Zhu Feng said: "Actually, I shouldn't ask you this question, because you were all born and raised in the south. ”

“……”

"What you see is the prosperity and stability of Jinling City."

“……”

"You can't imagine what kind of life the people of Peking live in this place. Just a few years ago, the cavalry of the Qi Kingdom returned to the border from time to time to burn and loot, they plundered iron tools, plundered grain, and even, plundered the people of Beiping. ”

“……”

"This kind of life, I'm afraid you haven't lived it."

The faces of the ministers turned a little ugly.

Indeed, they are all officials in the south, and they have never known what life is like in the north, nor do they know what the common people living in border cities are experiencing.

These are not in their consideration.

Immediately, the inspector Yushi said: "Your Majesty, Beiping is located on the border and is often harassed by enemy countries, which is also a common thing. But now what the ministers want to talk about is the city wall. ”

Zhu Feng said: "What I want to say is also the city wall. ”

“……”

"The purpose of repairing the city is to strengthen the fortifications and protect these ordinary people."

Immediately, the people from the household department stood up and said, "But the emperor, even if you want to strengthen the fortifications, you don't need to build such a big city!" ”

"Why not?"

Zhu Feng looked at them: "Actually, I don't know if it's to strengthen the fortifications. I also plan to trade with the Western Regions and open up the westward road, so the expansion of the city in Beiping is also to prepare for future plans. ”

Speaking of this, the faces of the ministers below changed slightly.

After a long silence, Li Ziyun, the superintendent of the imperial history, stood up and said to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, since you have said this, then Weichen dares to ask - Your Majesty, is there any intention to move the capital?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

All of them held their breath and looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes.

Nanyan's heart also sank fiercely.

In fact, from the first time Zhu Feng proposed to build Beiping City, including some of the ideas for the future that he later said, she had already faintly felt it

He wants to move the capital.

After all, Jinling is not his sphere of influence, but he crossed the river to fight.

He has been the king of Yan for more than ten years, and his power and connections are always in the north.

Therefore, taking Jinling as the capital is not a long-term solution after all!

However, although everyone can faintly feel this matter in their hearts, no one has ever asked it so clearly, after all, they are afraid that once they ask it, it will be like a proverb, and it will be difficult to turn around.

Zhu Feng raised his eyes and looked at Li Ziyun.

He looked at the courtiers around him who were heavy and couldn't hold it back.

He took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Since Lord Li has asked about this, I might as well be honest with your ministers. ”

“……”

"That's right, I built Beiping City with the intention of moving the capital."

As soon as they heard this, the surrounding ministers all stood up, and they walked up to Zhu Feng together and knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, moving the capital is a matter of national capital, don't say it lightly!"

"Please ask the emperor to take back his fate!"

The Qintian Prison Supervisor was kneeling on the ground, took a few steps forward one after another, and said, "Your Majesty, this time the catastrophe from the sky is just to warn the emperor. The construction of Beiping City is ominous! Moving the capital, ominous! ”

Suddenly, the people around shouted one after another: "Move the capital, ominous!" ”

"Moving the capital, ominous!"

……

Listening to the constant shouts of those ministers, Nanyan's heartbeat became more and more intense.

However, she still tried her best to control herself and not panic.

Because at this time, Zhu Feng didn't even show obvious anger.

He just looked at these ministers coldly.

Those ministers were already kowtowing on the ground, in pain: "If the emperor insists on going his own way, he will definitely move the capital, and the ministers will only die!" ”

At this moment, the workers on the other side, who were digging the pile of ruins, also shouted.

"Something's wrong! Something happened! ”
