: Revealing old scores

Zhu Yunyong still wanted to see whether some people would use their arms as chariots. He also really wanted to see some of the situations in the court become a little clearer. This is also very important for people sitting on the dragon throne.

things.

After all, there is a lot of knowledge involved in taking sides. Some civil and military officials may not seem to have much contact with each other, but who knows if they may have some connections in private.

If there weren't some major events, maybe these individuals wouldn't take a stand, and maybe those people could continue to deceive the emperor. All of this is very possible.

Zhu Yunyong's attitude towards civil and military officials is just such a cold-looking attitude, but he still needs to continue to observe.

Although the death of Emperor Hongwu was once the biggest event in the court, it seemed to delay the handling of some matters. However, everyone also understands that everyone will not always pay attention to these things, and matters in the court still need to be dealt with.

deal with.

These are not trivial matters. If they delay the government's affairs, most people cannot afford to delay them. Especially now that we have entered the fifth year of Yingshi's reign, this can be regarded as a new year and a new atmosphere.

Since it is a new situation, it naturally means that everyone needs to work harder. Especially when some major events seem to be imminent, many people know that there will be no delay.

During the morning court again, the matter of moving the capital was mentioned again. At this time, many people were still watching, but now some more important people still did not personally take action.

The meaning of some officials is very simple. They probably mean that moving the capital will waste people and money, which is not worth the gain. Or they say that although the imperial city of Peiping was built for more than ten years, as the capital of a country, it is now in a state of decline and has lost the image of a great country.

The reasons for all this are relatively simple. It seems that it is not appropriate to move the capital now, or simply put, it is not a wise move to move the capital to Peking.

Some people oppose it, and naturally some people agree with it. For example, some people think that this is a strategy formulated by the Supreme Emperor. If the emperor overthrows it today, it will be unfilial to the Supreme Emperor.

Everyone has their own opinions and thoughts, and for a while it seems that no one can convince anyone.

Qiu Zheng, the Hou of Anqing, thought about it for a while, then mustered up the courage to go out and said, "Your Majesty, I think you should be cautious when moving the capital."

Zhu Yunyong showed some smiles. Qiu Zheng was also the second generation of Xun. His father was Qiu Zheng, and he was once one of the bravest warriors in the three armies.

It's just that Qiu Zheng is a little bit muddy and can't hold up the wall, or it would be more accurate to say that it's a little embarrassing but of no use at all.

Zhu Yunyong looked at Qiu Zheng calmly and asked, "I remember that the Duke of Anhui died of illness in the 21st year of Hongwu, and Aiqing succeeded him. When the proposal to move the capital was made, I don't remember Aiqing speaking out against it. I remember correctly, right?

?”

This time it can be considered that the general Qiu Zhengshi is not taking lightly. Ying shows that the emperor does not respect martial ethics and is settling an old score!

Isn't this an obvious thing? Zhu Yunyong is simply slapping Qiu Zheng in the face.

The meaning is obvious. During the Hongwu Dynasty, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not dare to raise objections. But now, everyone dares to jump out. At first, they agreed to move the capital, but now they express their opposition with righteous words.

, I’m afraid this is a bit unjustifiable, right?

What does this mean?

Are you afraid of Emperor Hongwu, or do you look down on Emperor Yingshi?

Qiu Zheng was indeed choked up all of a sudden. He didn't know what to say for a while. The main thing was that he was completely blocked. He seemed to feel the real pressure. He knew that he might have been rash this time.

, may be hated by the emperor.

But there is no other way. Even if there is some pressure at this time, we can only withstand the pressure. In the final analysis, it is these things that must be endured. Think about your own family interests. These things just need to be fought.

.

His ancestral home was Hanshan County, Hezhou, Zhili, and his late father was also posthumously granted the title of Duke of Anhui, which explains the status of the Marquis of Anqing.

Seeing that Qiu Zheng was defeated, some people seemed to have died down, probably thinking of retreating. But some people will not retreat like this. They have to face the difficulties and must keep their eyes on the pressure and move forward. If they cannot bear the pressure

, then some major events will really be settled, and there will be no chance at all.

Although Qiu Zheng was choked and seemed to have no words to speak, others could stand up and let the emperor see the opinions of the courtiers, let His Majesty listen to the voices of all the officials in the world, and then make long-term plans!

Facing the emperor who was settling old scores, some officials did feel a little scared. They all knew that the one sitting on the dragon throne was not easy to mess with, and they all understood that what the emperor said actually made sense.

The reason is naturally very simple. It was Emperor Hongwu who first proposed moving the capital. At that time, few people dared to raise objections, and everyone knew this very well.

But now that Emperor Hongwu has just passed away, we have to be busy overturning the decisions made by Emperor Hongwu, which will cause some problems.

This is not only disrespectful to Emperor Hongwu, it is also disrespectful to the emperor Yingshi, not to mention things like moving the capital, which is also related to national policy. This is not a small matter, and must be paid more attention to.

Mao Dafang, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, withstood the pressure at this time. Some people would be afraid, but people like him didn't know how to be afraid.

"Your Majesty, I believe that we should be cautious when moving the capital to Beiping." Mao Dafang said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, if we move the capital to Beiping, the imperial court will face the enemy troops from the north."

Fu Youde couldn't stand listening anymore, and immediately stood up and shouted loudly, "Master Mao, in the first year of Yingshi's reign, the imperial court made an expedition to the north, and the Tatars fled far away. Now that the north is peaceful, why did the northern captives come to talk about it? Could it be that Master Mao thought that,

Was it true that we lied about the military situation back then?"

At this time, Xu Huizu, Chang Mao and others also stood up and attacked Mao Dafang fiercely. The reason is very simple. These people are representatives of the Wuxun Group. They crippled the Tatars back then. This was also the case with the Wuxun Group.

A great achievement.

What Mao Dafang said before has some truth to it. If the capital is moved to Beiping, it will indeed cause some problems in the defense line.

In the long run of the Central Plains civilization, enemies from the north have always existed, and they are also the most dangerous and deadly.

But in the short term, the Ming Dynasty does not seem to need to worry about these things, because the Tatars have long been driven away. For the time being, there is really no big danger in the north, so what Mao Dafang said is a bit alarmist.

The Zuodu Yushi who is in the third grade will definitely not be able to compete with the princes who are in the top grade at this time. At this time, some people with enough weight in the civil service group are needed to come forward, such as the level of the Six Ministers, which can probably be regarded as a military confrontation.

The soldiers will meet the generals.

Chen Di came out at this time and said in support, "Mr. Ying Guo, Mr. Mao is not questioning the victory of the Northern Expedition. It's just that the Northern captives have always been inexhaustible. Now there are no hidden worries. There will be no guarantee of peace in a hundred years."

At this time, Chang Mao said in a strange tone, "That's just right. I remember that Mr. Mao always thought that the construction of the Great Wall was not a magic trick. Now that the capital has been moved to Peking, it will be closer to Hu Di. Mr. Mao can also educate people with the teachings of benevolence and righteousness.

Hulu, solve the future troubles once and for all."

At this time, many Wu Xun couldn't help but burst into laughter. This was a kind of ridicule to Mao Dafang.

In fact, Mao Dafang is a bit pedantic. His orthodox thoughts such as the ethics of loyalty and filial piety are very serious. He can be regarded as a representative of the more traditional Confucian ethics. Sometimes he seems extremely pedantic and ridiculous.

In terms of dealing with foreign enemies, he is like many pedantic scholars. He always feels that it is very effective to educate the Hulu by practicing the teaching of benevolence and righteousness, thereby resolving political, historical, and national disputes. This argument is very naive and ridiculous.

.

The more terrible thing is that there are actually many scholars who have the same views as Mao Dafang, always thinking that the teachings of saints can solve all problems. The fact that the two Song Dynasties and even more distant dynasties did not complete these things is the reason why they fell.

These people are sometimes childish and indeed very scary. This is why Zhu Yunyong thinks these people are stupid because of reading.

Mao Dafang is indeed pedantic sometimes, and these guys are sometimes very similar to people like Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru. But what is better about Mao Dafang is that even if he has a lot of 'ambition', he doesn't mess around.

Zhu Yunyong was indeed very fed up with these people at first and wished they could all be kicked out of the court, out of sight and out of mind, or he felt that these people should be driven out of the court forever. This is the best thing.

way.

But now Zhu Yunyong's views have changed somewhat, and these people still have a certain role.

Some political views are naive and pedantic. There is no problem with that. Just don't let them appear in a certain position. Be a good public speaker, etc., and do your job as a judge of the Three Laws. These people are relatively reliable.

The reason is actually very simple. These people have relatively good moral standards. They have their own nobility and pride. In specific positions, they can indeed make a lot of contributions.

So we can't be too extreme, and we can't overturn a whole boat of people with one stroke. These can be regarded as a growth of Zhu Yunyong.

There was a quarrel in the court, but no one thought it was strange at all. It would have been strange if there had been no quarrel.

It’s just that many people have now figured it out. Although the proposal to move the capital has not yet reached a fever pitch, it is just a warm-up, but there has already been a quarrel, and many people’s positions have been slightly reflected.

In fact, many people also understand that this is just an appetizer. When the capital move begins, the quarrels in the court will become heated. By then, there will inevitably be more conflicts.

Zhu Yunyong did not intend to let these things continue. He just asked, "The matter of moving the capital is a national policy formulated by the Supreme Emperor. As the successor, I must not overturn the national policy. There is no need for you to discuss this matter again."

Emperor Yingzhi's announcement is not the final word, but it has basically set the tone. He does not want to discuss this matter more. Regarding the matter of moving the capital, he will definitely implement it. There is not much room for discussion on this matter.

.

But even if the emperor made it clear, there would still be some civil and military ministers who felt the need to fight.

Before you pay a greater price, before you are completely defeated, you always have to try to fight for something, maybe you can still have a little hope.

Since you have some hope, you have to work hard for it. If you give up easily, your own ambitions, pursuits or interests, etc., may not be better protected.

Everyone knows Zhu Yunyong's thoughts, and Zhu Yunyong is actually very clear about some of the thoughts of civil and military officials.

This is a tug-of-war. This tug-of-war will inevitably continue before the dust settles. There is no doubt about this. Just keep competing. There is nothing to care about.

Looking at these civil and military officials, Zhu Yunyong continued to say at this time, "The great emperor has indeed delayed the handling of some state affairs a few days ago. Now that I have decided to handle state affairs, dear friends, please do not delay the government affairs."

This can be regarded as setting some tone again. Now everyone needs to enter the working mode again. The death of Emperor Hongwu was indeed the most important thing some time ago, and dealing with certain things is the most important.

But now we need to look forward. Everyone needs to increase their efforts and do their respective jobs well. This is the most important thing.

Go to court, you must go to court at this time, because there are indeed not many things to discuss in the court. But many things can be discussed to a conclusion without arguing in the court, and Zhu Yunyong knows this better.

It is still necessary to do desk work well, and it is still necessary to constantly review memorials. This is what Zhu Yunyong needs to do well.

"Let King Zhou enter the palace." Zhu Yunyong thought for a while and said to Wang Chengen, "Let King Wu and King Xu also enter the palace."

Wang Chengen naturally just conveyed the order. He might have guessed something, but at this time he just needed to pretend that he didn't know anything. He was a master at figuring out the superior's intentions, but Wang Chengen knew his duty and would not show it indiscriminately.

own intelligence.

This is also very obvious. After all, something happened in the court just now. His Majesty summoning the clan at this time naturally means a lot of things, and the clan may also need to take the lead and set an example.

Regardless of whether these clans are willing or not, in short, many clans do not have more decision-making power in these matters. Their status is very noble, but this status will also make them lose a lot of things.

Everyone understands this. To enjoy the glory and wealth that status brings, you need to be prepared to lose some power as a result.

The clan must set an example when it comes to moving the capital, and the emperor will not be too polite to some clans!
