Chapter 739 Unstoppable
Faced with an emperor who likes to settle old scores, many people may feel a little embarrassed, and some may also feel depressed. But the emperor's character is like this, and they can't control it.
The most important thing is that there is no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, and the six ministries are directly responsible to the emperor. All this means that the imperial power is becoming more and more superior. It is of course more and more difficult for the civil and military officials to fight against the imperial power.
Furthermore, it is necessary to bear the responsibility. The civil and military officials in the court also have their own positions, and they cannot have the same voice and argument. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly more difficult to fight against the emperor.
Zhu Yunyong, the emperor, still knew how to balance and how to win over some people, divide some people, and attack some people.
This is in the interest of the Emperor of Heaven. It is quite interesting to sit on the high dragon chair and watch the civil and military officials noisy.
In fact, in addition to these civil and military officials, the clans also have their own positions, thoughts and ideas.
Zhu Xi and others also entered the palace one after another, and they probably knew some things about the court. These clans did not seem to have much real power, and they did not dare to show curiosity about the things in the court to avoid suspicion.
But these special identities also make them seem unable to stay away from some things. For these people, the status of the clan is not only their glory, but also some of their shackles.
Seeing that his two nephews were also summoned to the palace, Zhu Xi naturally understood some things, but he didn't find it surprising. This is the norm, and this is what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty often did.
.
After all, Zhu Xi is the clan leader. These things are very common for him. If he is alienated by the emperor, it basically means that the good days of most clans will definitely be over.
Needless to say, Zhu Yunxi was of course the younger brother of the emperor, and he had been well protected by the emperor all these years. Although he had never had any substantial influence in the court, his transcendent status also made him
Of great importance'.
Zhu Yunwen was a little frightened at this time, and he did feel a little uneasy in his heart now.
The reason is quite simple. In the past few years, there were some people who thought of "seizing the legitimate son" without knowing the heights of the world. This originally annoyed the emperor's brother. Furthermore, some time ago, he had high-minded talks with people like Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng, which completely annoyed the emperor's brother.
.
This can be regarded as the punishment of being shut up and thinking about one's mistakes has just been lifted by the emperor's brother. Now he is summoned to the palace. Zhu Yunwen must have no idea. After all, his biological mother is still praying and chanting sutras in Dongling. Zhu Yunwen is really worried about the emperor's brother settling the accounts after his fall.
The emperor's grandfather is gone, which means that the emperor's brother is now the real supreme being in the world. According to Zhu Yunwen's character, once the emperor's grandfather is gone, once he is sitting on the throne, there is no need to suppress many things.
Now, we can have the 'Dictatorship of the Sacred Heart', and then many things will be justified.
It's hard to say whether Zhu Yunwen is thinking too much at this time, and not many people care about his brainstorming and ideas.
When they arrived at the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yunyong said in a kinder voice, "The reason why I let my fifth uncle enter the palace today is because I want him to lead some of the clan to Beiping Mansion after spring begins. What do you think of my uncle?"
This is straight to the point, but Zhu Yunyong's words may not necessarily make people feel so kind. Naturally, they make people feel frightened. The most important thing is that the emperor did not hide his attitude at all, and the emperor's attitude seemed to be the same.
I didn't plan to discuss it with everyone, I just gave the order directly.
Zhu Yunwen was even more frightened. Could it be that the kindness that the emperor brother showed before was just because the emperor's grandfather was here? Now that the emperor's grandfather is gone, the emperor brother is not going to cover up these things?
!
In fact, some clans of the Ming Dynasty had also moved to Peiping one after another, but they were only a very small number of people. Just like some nobles, there were also some Wuxun families who lost their power and were moved to Peiping.
Even some wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter whether they were willing or not, were forced to move to Peking after an imperial edict.
At this time, Zhu Xi corrected his attitude and said directly and simply, "I accept the decree."
Zhu Yunyong was naturally very satisfied with Zhu Yun's attitude. If Zhu Yun acted like an imperial uncle at this time, or acted foolishly at these times, then Zhu Yunyong would naturally be more embarrassed and embarrassed.
After all, Lao Zhu had just passed away. If Zhu Yunyong immediately became strict with the clan, or found some reasons to punish the clan, then there might be some daring clan members who would go to the Xiaoling Temple to cry, or cause some controversy.
, let the people's voice spread throughout the world that the emperor is not close to the clan.
These are actually very realistic. Although Zhu Yunyong is a high-ranking emperor, many things are indeed not 'at will', and some things do require him to weigh a little.
Reputation is still very important. Although Zhu Yunyong doesn't care about some reputations, he still cares about some reputations. In other words, as an emperor, what he needs to care about is the reputation of the Ming Dynasty. He should be a role model for the people of the world.
In the final analysis, this is "family world". Never underestimate the power of clan and the influence of traditional concepts.
Zhu Yunyong could only smile and say, "Speaking of which, we are helpless. The emperor's grandfather had decided to move the capital a long time ago. It's just that the emperor's grandfather has just left, so some people can't hold it anymore and always want to stay here.
The prosperous land south of the Yangtze River."
Zhu Ju didn't say anything. He was actually one of the first people to know that his father and brother wanted to move the capital. He also understood that Yingtian Mansion was not the best choice for the capital. It was indeed too wealthy and would make people
Civil servants and military generals were accustomed to the prosperity of Jiangnan.
Apart from anything else, it is much better to enjoy singing and dancing in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River than to suffer in the bitter cold land in the north.
Zhu Yunyong continued at this time, "The fifth uncle should lead the clan to Beiping first. Beiping Mansion has been restored to the Prince's Mansion, and the Princess Mansion has been repaired. There is no need to worry about lack of shelter when the clan moves there. Although in the early years, the King of Zhongshan, Kaiping
The king conquered Beiping, but he has been building the city over the years, and Beiping Mansion is no longer as shabby as it was at the beginning."
This can be considered to be true. Beiping Mansion has some relationship with Yuanda, so the calculation is still somewhat basic.
It is said that after Beiping was conquered, it was in ruins. However, since the fourth year of Hongwu, Beiping has been slowly undergoing some renovations. Even the initial military station has actually been continuously built over the years.
Especially after it was determined that Peiping would become the capital of the Ming Dynasty, based on the imperial city of Yingtian Mansion, Beiping Mansion began to take shape.
Zhu Xi naturally understood this and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I think that the clan is willing to move the capital to Peiping, and I will never dare to disobey the holy will."
This can be regarded as a knowledge of speaking. The 'holy will' here can refer to the will of Emperor Hongwu at that time. Naturally, it can also be said that Ying expressed the will of the emperor, which is also the holy will.
In fact, after Lao Zhu passed away, Zhu Xi adjusted his attitude relatively quickly. Facing his eldest nephew in front of him, Zhu Xi did not dare to be careless. This was the emperor of Ming Dynasty. He could not just think about his uncle and nephew.
You can't just care about the identity of your imperial uncle.
"Uncle Wu went to Peiping and continued to complete the "Filial Piety and Kang Ceremony"." Zhu Yunyong sighed and said, "Grandpa Huang has been looking forward to this ceremony when he was here, but it's a pity that he only read the first edition."
Zhu Ji is a little embarrassed. He is responsible for compiling the "Xiaokang Dadian", and there has indeed been some progress in the past few years. However, if you want to compile a real Dadian, it cannot be completed in two or three years. It will take more time.
, need more educated people.
The support given by the imperial court is sufficient. At least Emperor Yingshi has always asked for money and people. If there is no progress in this, Zhu Ji will definitely not be able to deliver.
Looking at Zhu Xi, Zhu Yunyong continued, "My fifth uncle still wants to compile the canon. We can bring some of the bachelors from the Hanlin Academy. The ancient and modern books collected in Wenyuan Pavilion and Dabentang can also be moved to Peking."
Zhu Tie didn't know what to say. At this time, he could only smile and act in accordance with the emperor's will.
It was obvious that the emperor used him as a gun and took away a group of people from the Hanlin Academy, as well as the ancient books collected by the royal family. This was obviously the emperor's arrangement, but people who didn't know thought it was the King of Zhou's plan.
What are the requirements for repairing books?
The most important thing is that these things have officially fired the first shot of moving the capital. But those who know these things clearly understand that they are the emperor's wishes. But those who don't know must think that these are some of the clan's orders to King Zhou.
practice.
It doesn't matter what other people think, Zhu Yunyong is just doing what an emperor should do.
Since Zhu Rui has nothing to worry about, he can mobilize others. His own emperor's uncle has set an example and has taken up his responsibilities, so the emperor's younger brothers cannot feel that they can stay out of the matter at this time.
They also need to assume their responsibilities and obligations.
Whether it is Zhu Yunxi or Zhu Yunwen, their status is very special, and many people are actually staring at them. If these two people are uncooperative in the matter of moving the capital, even if Zhu Yunxing's plan to move the capital is really
It's no longer convincing.
This is no small matter. In fact, Zhu Yunyong also knew very well that moving the capital requires great courage. If you want to complete the move of the capital, it is basically difficult for someone other than the founder of the country to complete such a task.
Looking at Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunyong said, "You are our brother, and we have always loved and cared for you all these years. We don't expect you to do much, and we don't expect you to become a pillar of the court. But in matters of great right and wrong, you should also
Come and retreat with us, do you understand?"
Zhu Yunxi naturally nodded immediately and said, "Brother Emperor, of course I understand these truths. Brother Emperor, don't worry, people will start cleaning up after I return home. We have to go to Beiping Mansion first. We have to leave with great fanfare and let the world know.
Everyone is looking at us!"
Zhu Yunyong was very satisfied with Zhu Yunxi's statement, "Well, he is indeed our emperor's younger brother. This is how he makes us worry-free."
In fact, Zhu Yunxi didn't actually want to go to Peiping. In his plan, he must have stayed in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River and stayed in Yingtian Mansion to enjoy the prosperity. This is what he, a wealthy prince, should do.
It's just that although Zhu Yunxi is a playboy a lot of the time and is indeed a little confused, he still understands the truth. Even if he doesn't understand, it doesn't matter. As long as he does the things assigned by the emperor, he doesn't need to do it himself.
Just thinking about it.
These things are very simple for him, and in fact, this is exactly what he has done over the years.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi also knew in his heart that his move to Beiping Mansion now was just a show. When the important matter of moving the capital was completed, his majestic King Wu would definitely pack his luggage immediately, and then he could return to Yingtian Mansion to be at ease.
Staying on top of things at critical moments and helping the emperor sing a big show are what he should do.
Zhu Yunwen also said quickly at this time, "Brother, I am stupid. Although I want to help my brother, I am afraid that I will miss my plan. After I returned home, I immediately sent people to sell the farm and property and move to Peking immediately.
"
Zhu Yunyong smiled and nodded, and then said, "There is no need to go to war, just move to Beiping Mansion. It won't be a big deal to keep the farmstead, as long as there are people available to take care of it, that's fine."
This is indeed the case. It is not cost-effective to sell the land now. The land price in Jiangnan is relatively more expensive. The most important thing is to move to Beiping Mansion. Then it will not be cost-effective to give these clans fields.
Zhu Yunyong's treatment of the clan was not harsh. But there was no reason for the clan to pocket the money after selling the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and then went to Peking and clamored for the emperor to grant fields. How could such a cheap thing happen?
Zhu Yunyong may not have such a thought, but there is no guarantee that other clans do not have such thoughts. It is not that Zhu Yunyong is petty, but that there are many things that some clans can really do.
The group of people with the lowest moral standards are basically either members of the clan or nobles. Zhu Yunyong understands this, and many people actually understand these principles. If they do something shameless, there is no need to think it is anything new.
.
The first step in moving the capital was from the clan. This was not an unexpected operation, and even seemed normal to many people.
This is what Zhu Yunyong did. The matter of moving the capital is not just a matter of arguing in the court. These things need to be put into practice, and these things need to be implemented directly.
The clan began to move, which illustrates the emperor's attitude. Moving the capital was unstoppable, and no one could stop the emperor's decision!
