Chapter 29 You Prince Yan proposed it yourself, the Emperor didn't force you, did he?
But soon, Zhu Di was slapped in the face by the simulator again.
[In the tenth year of Xuande, you died on the hospital bed, ending your wonderful life!]
"What? The eldest grandson has been the emperor for ten years?"
Zhu Di's face was full of disbelief.
He thought that when Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne in his twenties, he would have at least a few decades to live.
But he never imagined that his eldest grandson would only be emperor for ten years!
One year for the eldest son and ten years for the eldest grandson. Including himself, he still has six years left to live.
This has only lasted seventeen years!
Is this the good saint Sun Kewang whom Xie Jin spoke of for three generations?
These three generations are too short, right?
"Does it mean that the eldest grandson's son will live a long time?"
Zhu Di has not given up hope yet. He feels that his eldest grandson's son should be his last hope.
After all, Zhanji is a very talented child, and the children he gives birth to will definitely be good!
If he seals the wolf as Xu, his eldest grandson's son will definitely be further away than him!
For a time, Zhu Di's heart was full of hope!
Withdrawing his thoughts, he focused his attention on the court again.
"I have recently felt that Nanjing is not suitable as the capital of the country and want to move the capital to Shuntian. What do you think?"
As Zhu Di's words fell, the entire hall instantly became audible.
All sounds and movements stopped in unison!
What does it mean to feel something recently?
How many years have you been talking about moving the capital?
Also ask them what they think?
There has been no movement for many years. Are you still confused?
But why did the emperor speak so clearly today?
Could it be that he is not going to pretend anymore and wants to have a showdown with us?
Some people couldn't help but think of the rumors that spread a few days ago.
The emperor wants Yan Wang Zhu Gaoshuo to be responsible for moving the capital!
Even then someone stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, moving the capital is a big deal, so we need to be careful!"
After he took the initiative, other ministers who opposed moving the capital also came forward.
"Your Majesty, the capital city is the capital city of a country. You should not act rashly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the money and food needed to move the capital is huge. Now the Ming Dynasty's treasury has been empty for a long time and cannot afford to move the capital at all."
"Your Majesty, I am not willing to move the capital. In fact, moving the capital will cost a lot of people and financial resources. If you start the capital move easily, I am afraid there will be disaster!"
Countless ministers stood up to oppose it!
It has only been a few decades since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and all civil servants and military generals are still deeply concerned about state affairs.
Even if there are occasional selfish intentions, there is no ambiguity in major matters!
As they say, moving the capital is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country.
Over the years, Zhu Di fought continuously, and the treasury had long been empty.
It has been quiet for several years, and the national treasury has just become a little rich, but now it is about to start moving the capital again.
This is simply making fun of Jiangshan Sheji!
In fact, Zhu Di didn't know how big a deal it was to move the capital!
But the problem is that he feels guilty for taking the throne from his nephew.
I couldn't sleep all night long when I stayed in Yingtian!
What's more, setting the capital in the north will also give future kings the opportunity to directly control military power.
He started out as a rebel and knew the power of military power.
Since ancient times, the king has always been the one with strong soldiers and horses. If the emperor loses military power, then he will not be at the mercy of others?
He doesn't want his descendants to become like this!
So he has to do this move of the capital, and he must do it!
Fortunately, in the simulation just now, the fourth child, Zhu Gaoshuo, seemed to have agreed to move the capital.
So he smiled and looked at the fourth child over there who bowed his head and said nothing.
"King Yan, what do you think?"
Zhu Gaoshuo, who was sleeping, was instantly awakened by Zhu Di's sudden shout.
He saluted in a daze and shouted: "Go back to the emperor, I agree!"
Anyway, no matter what Zhu Di asked him, just agree!
How could he, a vassal king who was about to become a vassal, influence the affairs of the court?
But his words made everyone furious, and some even almost lost their temper.
Prince Yan, do you know what the emperor asked just now?
This is moving the capital!
It doesn't matter if you agree, people all over the world will suffer!
Many people wanted to yell at Zhu Gaoshuo.
It's easy to pay lip service but not pay lip service, but where does the money come from?
It can only come from the treasury!
If the national treasury is exhausted, will the imperial court go to the rescue if there is a disaster anywhere in the world?
If we don't save them, how many people will die?
Unlike the ministers, Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a happy face.
"Okay, King Yan has agreed, then I will leave this matter to you!"
At this time, Zhu Gaoshuo almost understood what was going on.
But he was glad that he didn't object!
After all, once the matter of moving the capital is completed, his goal of establishing a vassal state will be achieved.
Not to mention that he had been busy for so many days preparing to move the capital.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely handle this matter beautifully!"
But as soon as he said this, all the ministers objected.
"Your Majesty, the cost of moving the capital is as high as tens of millions of taels, which is enough for my taxes for the five years of the Ming Dynasty! Now the national treasury is in deficit and cannot afford such expenses!" Yang Shiqi was the first to speak.
"Your Majesty, after excluding this year's expenses, the Ministry of Household Affairs only has less than one million taels left. We should discuss the matter of moving the capital again!"
Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, directly disclosed the remaining money and grain in the treasury.
Of course, some people object because of the lack of money and food, and some people object from other aspects.
"Your Majesty, King Yan is too young to handle the matter of moving the capital. It is better to choose another veteran minister!"
"Your Majesty, King Yan has not left his residence for many years. I am afraid that he will not be able to handle such a major event."
The ministers were still afraid that Zhu Di would kill him if he disagreed.
So I spoke very tactfully, not directly saying I disagreed, but looking for reasons to object.
It's a pity that Zhu Di, who was sitting on the throne, wanted to see how shocking the new capital city simulated by his eldest grandson was.
What's more, in the simulation just now, the fourth child also agreed to use only one-third of the money for food and supplies.
So he smiled and said to the ministers: "My dear friends, I also know that moving the capital costs a lot of money and food, but why not listen to King Yan's opinion first?"
Then, without waiting for the ministers present to say anything, he looked at Zhu Gaoshuo.
"King Yan, tell me, what would you do if the matter of moving the capital was entrusted to you?"
Zhu Gaoshuo below couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart when facing Zhu Laosi's inquiry. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
So damn thick-skinned!
Are there any fathers like this?
Zhu Laosi asked him to speak instead of speaking himself, just because he didn't want to get a bad reputation.
After all, it was agreed before that he would only be given one-third of the money and food to build the new capital.
If Zhu Laosi is allowed to speak out about this matter.
Then everyone in the world will only think that he, Mr. Zhu, drives people to death.
Even his own son was spared!
But if Zhu Gaoshuo talks about it himself, it will be very different.
Chapter completed!
