Chapter 323 Officially moving the capital

The business of buying and selling white porcelain in Guanzhong has spread all over China.

Correspondingly, people in Guanzhong business houses are spread all over the country.

Treating them as the emperor's eyes and ears is undoubtedly the most cost-effective deal, with the lowest cost and huge benefits!

Liu Yizhen didn't even think of the cost. Instead, he fished out the coffin book of the family and gave it as the principal to start the organization...

This means that this institution has been a violent existence stained with blood since its birth.

"I have reserved a place outside Xuanwu Gate. That place will serve as your future Yamen headquarters."

Xuanwu Gate is the passage between the palace and the outside of the city. Placing the institution here also represents the importance and secrecy of this institution in the future.

"The soldiers currently guarding the palace gate are the Guanzhong Prefecture Army that I transferred. They are not easy to move. You are not required to do the task of guarding the palace now."

"Master Du should know what I want now."

"I understand!"

Liu Yizhen took out one of his ornately decorated gold medals and handed it to Du Ji.

"Go ahead and do it. You can leave the rest of the place for a while. Only Jiankang needs to be watched closely by me."

Emperor's waist card!

Although Liu Yizhen was not bold enough to leave the four characters "The Emperor is here in person" on it, there is no doubt that this represents the majesty of the Emperor.

Du Ji was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He used his last rationality to ask the emperor: "Please give me a name from the emperor."

As a minion of the emperor...

Liu Yizhen smiled knowingly: "Then let's call him Jinyiwei."

"Here!"

————————

The first month of the second year of Daye.

The emperor held a grand court meeting at Taiji Palace in Chang'an.

At the Great Court Meeting a year ago, the Emperor's faction won a complete victory and assumed the central power of Liu Song.

This time's imperial meeting will definitely not be ordinary.

"The Chanyu of the Xiongnu sent the princess here for marriage, hoping to resolve the previous misunderstanding. What do you think?"

"..."

This is the emperor looking for reasons to end the "Northern Expedition".

Although everyone knows that this "Northern Expedition" is a scam, we still have to leave some dignity to it.

At that moment, an official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Since our army is afraid of the power of God before Helianbobo arrives, my married daughter and Your Majesty must have had misunderstandings before."

No matter what kind of struggle is behind this married girl, in the court, the tone must be unified.

That is the power of the Holy Emperor! Let Helian Bobo, a barbarian lord, bow before you and take the initiative to give away your daughter!

Anyone who reveals his true intentions to the court will be making trouble for himself.

Don't say anything that is not conducive to the court.

Not to mention anything that is not conducive to the emperor!

If you say it, then it will change its nature!

Therefore, everyone had no way to attack this point. They could only criticize the emperor for marrying Hu Nu, hoping to prevent the marriage.

"Your Majesty! How can a barbarian daughter be included in the harem?"

An old Confucian scholar with a gray beard stood out from the crowd of officials.

His face, which looked very decent at first glance, turned red at the moment, as if it was a great shame for the emperor to marry a Hu girl.

"The emperor is the father of all people! Now that he marries Helianbobo's daughter, doesn't he become the "half-son" of the Xiongnu Chanyu? How can this be done to the court and the world?"

It’s still the theory of kinship and blood relations that Confucianism advocates...

If this had happened in the Han Dynasty, maybe Liu Yizhen would have considered the reaction of the people.

But the problem is...

Nowadays, metaphysics is popular among the people!

Confucianism still has a sense of presence among the people, but it no longer has any influence on the court.

Sure enough, Zheng Xianzhi, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward to confront the line without fear:

"That's wrong!"

"The Son of Heaven is the father of all peoples, so naturally he is also the father of the Huns!"

"The Xiongnu people recognized the Emperor of Han as their father as early as the Han Dynasty, and they are still the subjects of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. Since they are subjects of the Emperor, what's wrong with accepting daughters and marrying concubines?"

Zheng Xianzhi cleverly changed the concept.

Hu people?

What kind of barbarian?

Aren't we just like us, we are all the emperor's people?

The Emperor is the father of the Han people, isn't he also the father of the Huns?

Following this logic, is there any problem with marrying Hu Nu on that day? No problem!

As for the "half-son" theory...

Then Wang Hong and Xie Hui are also the father-in-law of the Emperor. You have the ability to kill these two "rebellious" people who have become the father of the Emperor!

"Besides!"

Zheng Xianzhi is going to make a bigger move!

"It is recorded in "Spring and Autumn" that both the kings of Jin and Zhao had married Hu women as their wives and concubines. Those ancient kings didn't mind marrying Hu women, so why are there still people who stop them now?"

"..."

I won’t say it anymore, I can’t say it anymore!

China's greatest weapon...history.

If you look through it casually, you will find that our ancestors had a ridiculous amount of fun.

Not to mention marrying a Hu girl, our ancestors have even played with the issue of republican governance. As long as you read enough history books, it is true that although the world is big, there is nothing new.

Coupled with the particularity of Confucian teachings of "advocating the past and devaluing the present", it is difficult for everyone to talk about history, especially the history before Confucius.

If we talk about it, it won't be as simple as a quarrel in the court.

The old Confucian scholar opened his mouth and stopped pestering him.

He didn't come to argue with the emperor about history. Since his goal was not achieved, forget it.

Although they were a little dissatisfied with the lame excuse given by the emperor, everyone still held their noses and admitted it.

Because the highlight is yet to come.

Liu Yizhen said to the officials in a serious tone: "I know that you are all wise and far-sighted people, and you are always wary of the Huns who are not of my race."

"Actually..."

"I think so too!"

"..."

Some officials had silently covered their faces, unable to bear to look directly at the emperor above.

You think so too? You think you’re a ghost!

Just now I said that the people of the Xiongnu are also the subjects of the emperor!

Are you now a “non-my race”?

Whether or not you co-author it depends on your mouth, right?

Regarding the emperor's rogueness and bottom line, Baiguan once again adjusted it down a notch.

"But Jiankang is far away from the north. Even if we march at full speed, it will take a month to get from Jiankang to Guanzhong. In this way, it is easy to delay the fighter plane..."

"Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?"

The words reached his throat, but the emperor swallowed them back.

These are political rules.

The emperor knows what he wants to do.

All the officials knew what the emperor wanted to do.
