Chapter 232 Infighting in the Empire 9
"I believe that the capital city is the center of the empire and the location cannot be changed easily. Since the founding of this dynasty, the capital city has been the foundation. The capital city is given by our ancestors and is established in the center of the empire to facilitate the management of the entire empire."
"The empire became famous in the capital, and the ancestors also worshiped the capital. I think the ancestral temples should not be moved outside the capital, so as not to break the rules of the ancestors. If Your Majesty moves the capital, it will cause a lot of right and wrong, and may even shake the foundation of the country."
"I would like to build a palace in Yuntian City for Your Majesty. When your Majesty needs to relax, you can go to Yuntian City Palace. I am willing to bear all the expenses for Your Majesty's palace."
"What do you think, my dear friends?"
"Your Majesty, the ancestors and ancestral temples are not suitable for relocation." Feng Chang came out to agree with King Yun Tian’s opinion.
"I and others agree. The capital city is chosen by our ancestors and cannot violate the ancestral system."
A group of important officials were afraid of death by King Yun Tian. If they really moved the capital, they would probably have no more peace. How could they go to the land of King Yun Tian? They were often targeting King Yun Tian. King Yun Tian even said that they would go to Beijing to serve the king!
After hearing this, the new emperor felt that the ministers in the court opposed the moving of the capital, and their faces were not good-looking.
"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for King Yun Tian to provide all the expenses for free." The Shaofu replied.
The new emperor was unhappy: "Yuntian City is the richest city in the empire. In the past, I can't afford the cost of Yuntian King?"
The Shaofu explained: "The emperor has the majesty of an emperor. If the emperor goes to a place, all the expenses will be paid from the place, where can the royal majesty be shown? The taxes collected by the empire are not used for His Majesty?"
"Stop!" The new emperor was so angry when he heard this! "The taxes of this empire have been all over the pockets of your civil and military officials in the court, and only a few percent of them have been in my pocket!"
Seeing that the civil and military officials in the court heard the new emperor's words, their faces changed and they hurriedly said:
"All the kings and ministers in the world are kings! No matter how rich Yuntian City is, it is also the territory of His Majesty's ministers. The emperor's grace is vast, and even in a wealthy area, grace should be given to the people of the world to reassure the people of the world. Let the people of the world know that Your Majesty will not think that the people of the world are rich and want to take advantage of their little things."
"With the imperial taxes, it is enough to bear the expenses of Your Majesty in Yuntian City, why bother the people of the world? If Your Majesty is greedy for King Yuntian today, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be greedy for other important officials in the court tomorrow. Water can carry a boat or overturn it."
The new emperor understood the implicit meaning of the Shaofu.
"I am not greedy for his King Yun Tian, and pay according to the original cost in the palace!"
"The doctor and the general both sent memorials back to the court, saying that there was no problem with the security of Yuntian City. King Yuntian thought carefully and had no difficulties in defense work." The new emperor swept his eyes across the faces of civil and military officials in the court.
"Since safety issues can be guaranteed, my intention has been decided." The new emperor knew that all the civil and military officials in the court were afraid of King Yuntian.
"If I had known today, why should I be there? Didn't you expect to leave a way out for yourself when you were chasing the fire? I decided to set up a palace in Yuntian City."
"The three dukes and nine ministers must follow me. I will not force the rest of the important officials. If you want to go, go, and if you don't want to go, stay in the capital. I will leave the prince to guard the capital. You can accompany the prince so much, don't make any trouble."
"Fengchang first, and hand over the sacrificial altar and palace drawings to King Yuntian. I will not live in the palace of King Yuntian. I will choose another good place and build a new palace. The doctor and the general will take charge of the palace to choose the site."
The new emperor remembered his cousin and asked, "The empire has no sect. Now Yuntian City has newly created the Jade Girl Sect, I wonder what allusions are there?"
There is not much knowledge about the affairs of the world in the court, and there is never an organization that manages the sect. All the civil and military officials in the court are observing their hearts and silent.
"Your Majesty, there are sects that have cultivated immortals in the world. However, this kind of sect only exists in legends, and no one has ever been able to cultivate immortals successfully. There is no such record in the history of the empire. I have read a non-disclosure about a story about the Jade Girl Sect, which is just a legend from a thousand years ago." A doctoral historian took the list.
"Tell me," the new emperor was interested. He didn't expect that there would be some cultivation of immortals a thousand years ago. "If I could cultivate immortals, I would like to give up the throne."
"Your Majesty, the records of the unofficial history are not credible. It's just a rumor, adding fuel to the fire. According to rumors, there was a sect of immortal cultivation a thousand years ago, and the Jade Girl Sect was one of them. The Immortal Cultivation Sect did not interact with the ordinary world. The Jade Girl Sect had two disciples in the world."
"A female disciple named Ai Yaofei. Ai's male disciple named Bai Wanwen. Somehow, these two disciples fell into the world of ordinary people and met each other for generations, but they could not love each other for generations."
After hearing this, the new emperor said nothing, and after a long time, he talked to himself:
"Are my cousin and King Yun Tian who are those two enemies? I will move to Yun Tian City soon. At that time, it is necessary to go to the Jade Girl Sect to find out the truth."
The new emperor woke up from his thoughts and looked at the shocked civil and military officials in the court to issue an order:
"The capital was changed to building an open palace in Yuntian City! Tingwei and Fengchang went together to implement the rules after the transfer."
"Dianke Shen, Fengchang is back, and there is also the Tingwei accompanying him." An Linyuan received a report from the city gate and ordered him to enter the royal palace.
"King Yuntian, Your Majesty has changed his original intention and will not move the capital. These are the drawings of the palace and altar." Feng Chang picked up the jade porcelain teacup and drank a sip of tea, then took out the drawings.
"This specification! It is only slightly inferior to the imperial palace." An Linyuan looked at the drawings.
"The palace is quite large, covering an area of 200 hectares. The palace covers an area of only 100 hectares. Why is this palace twice as big?" An Linyuan was puzzled.
"Although it is a palace, Your Majesty wants to bring the three dukes and nine ministers and some ministers who are willing to accompany you, so he wants to set up a residence for us." Fengchang and the Tingwei explained.
An Linyuan closed his eyes and thought, "Two sirs, I will just tell you the colleagues who may come. I will build the mansions of all my colleagues together."
"The mansions of the three dukes cover an area of ten hectares each; the mansions of the nine ministers cover an area of five hectares each; the ministers below the second rank shall cover an area of five acres for each lower one rank. Is this good arrangement?"
After hearing this, the Tingwei said that King Yun Tian wanted to build a mansion covering an area of five hectares for him, which was far beyond the imperial regulations. But when he thought that he was not in the capital, King Yun Tian had the final say in his territory, so he naturally didn't say anything.
General An Linyuan, the doctor Ling and the general invited him to discuss the reconstruction of the palace.
An Linyuan first agreed to Bai Xiaoai to build a tall pyramid-shaped tower in Yuntian Shangcheng that was not available to the new emperor. Both sides were not relieved when the new emperor entered Yuntian Shangcheng.
The temporary palace was only to deal with spies sent by the new emperor, and naturally the specifications were low and could not reach the eyes of the new emperor.
