Zhu Yuanzhang patted the white marble railing, as if something suddenly occurred to him: "If you were to be the emperor, Biao'er, where would you like to build the capital?"
Zhu Biao's heart trembled, but fortunately he remembered that it was Zhu Biao who was able to hold on!
Originally, I wanted to say: "My son is terrified, so it is my father's decision to make everything!"
But when I think about it, is this what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to hear?
Yes and no!
Having said that, it is undoubtedly the most stable choice, and no one can make a mistake.
But Zhu Biao is no longer a child, and he is already a little tired of this submissive feeling.
But to directly say that when he becomes emperor, he will definitely build a capital somewhere is undoubtedly a fool's errand. No matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang dotes on his eldest son, he will never let him go like this.
Having said that, you can’t get away with a rebuke! You won’t be able to come into contact with authority in the next few years.
Zhu Biao's mind turned around: "If I go back to my father, there are only a few places in the world that can be used as capitals since ancient times."
"Chang'an is guarded by four passes, Jing is surrounded by floating rivers, Jincheng is thousands of miles away, and it is a land of abundance. Yingtianfu has the potential of "dragons crouching and tigers perch", and Luoyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The situation is said to be the best in the world! Most of them have mountains on their backs and seas on their backs.
Shape wins!"
These are the best choices for the capital, but most of them are still in the hands of Yuanting. Chang'an has been in war for a long time. Although Luoyang is located in the middle of the world, it is not conducive to resisting foreign invasion. In comparison, Yingtian is currently the most
Good choice!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this, but still did not speak.
Zhu Biao knew that he was still dissatisfied and guessed where he wanted to set the capital.
"Does your father want to set the capital in your hometown of Linhao?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "Our son still understands us! We just thought that the dynasty in Yingtianli would not last long, so why not set the capital in our hometown, so that the people in Huaixi will also support it!"
Zhu Biao looked at the enthusiastic Zhu Yuanzhang and knew that he really meant this. He said softly with some hesitation: "Yes, that is also the hometown of the Huaixi generals. They will definitely support their father. It's just that the Huaixi generals
The momentum is even greater!”
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face faltered, and his brows suddenly knitted together. An inexplicable majesty instantly fell on Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao bent down slightly and did not continue to speak, but waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's decision!
Looking at Lao Zhu, whose thoughts were constantly racing, Zhu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Yuanzhang would not let the power of the Huaixi generals grow any longer!
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was the leader of Huaixi when he conquered the world, but when he became emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was not just the emperor of Huaixi people, he was the emperor of the people of the world!
Huaixi generals such as Wen, Li Shan, Chang Wu, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, their influence spread across both the military and political circles, and they have seriously threatened the rule of the imperial power!
You can't let a person break the law just because he is from Huaixi. In that case, where is the prestige of the court?
"Biao'er, what do you want to do?"
"Returning to my father, since my father doesn't like Yingtian, let's rename Yingtian to Nanjing and make it the capital temporarily. When Dadu is captured in the future, we can rename Dadu to Beijing and then move the capital to where it is, and make Nanjing the companion capital!"
Zhu Biao suggested that Beijing be the capital. In fact, it was not because of anything else. The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were not so easy to eliminate. Historically, they had been at odds with the Ming Dynasty for many years. Beijing was the closest to the border, so military information could be responded to as quickly as possible.
.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, as if he thought it was good, but also as if he just heard it.
Zhu Biao did not continue to persuade him. It was Lao Zhu's freedom to decide where he wanted to go, as long as he did not waste manpower and financial resources on the establishment of Linhao.
Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang did build a palace in his hometown. Li Shanchang was personally responsible for it. The scale was breathtaking, but it was abandoned after half of the construction.
Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Biao out of Prince Wu's Mansion, and was escorted down by his own troops to the nearly built palace.
The construction scale of the new palace is limited, with only the outer court and inner court buildings on the middle road, and no palaces were built in the open spaces on the east and west sides.
The new palace is 790 meters wide from east to west and 750 meters long from north to south. It has four gates, the Meridian Gate in the south, Donghua Gate in the east, Xihua Gate in the west and Xuanwu Gate in the north.
Zhu Yuanzhang led his son through the Meridian Gate. Zhu Biao also looked at it with interest. Everything was brand new and very beautiful.
Entering the Meridian Gate is Fengtian Gate, and inside is the main hall, Fengtian Hall. In front of and on the left and right are Wenlou and Wulou. Behind Fengtian Hall are Huagai Hall and Jinshen Hall. In the inner court, there are Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and six east and west palaces.
Hearing these familiar palace names, Zhu Biao was helpless, but there was no way. These names were the best. The future Beijing Palace was originally built based on the blueprint of the Nanjing Palace.
At this time Li Shanchang ran over and said: "I pay homage to the King of Wu and pay homage to the Crown Prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, but Zhu Biao could not treat the head of civil servants so casually!
Zhu Biao also cupped his hands, but did not speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang: "Shanchang, this place is a bit small, and it is not enough for the country! We need to build more, build more palaces and the East Palace as soon as possible!
Li Shanchang agreed one by one, but he was thinking about who could change King Wu's mind?
He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build a new palace in his hometown, but even though he knew that the place was definitely not suitable as the capital, he had no intention of dissuading him.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang swept across the Central Plains, his status has become too high. Xu Da has been fighting abroad for many years, and the leader of the Huaixi people has become Li Shanchang!
Making the capital of the Huaixi people's hometown is the best choice for them! This represents their status in the new dynasty!
She must be either the princess or the heir apparent!
Li Shanchang felt helpless. If he was a member of the court, how could he let him know the consequences of going against the Huaixi people?
But the princess and the crown prince were King Wu's darlings, and they had no ability to threaten them.
Li Shanchang took a long look at Zhu Biao, with a kind look on his face. He turned around and told Zhu Yuanzhang that the prince was humble and elegant, and he was worthy of being the legitimate son of King Wu.
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite happy to hear this. Zhu Biao was also humble, but his heart felt cold.
Not like yourself! This is the reason and excuse for most princes in history to be rejected by emperors.
After another conversation, Li Shanchang resigned and prepared to summon craftsmen to build a new palace before the founding of the country.
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face also faded.
"Biao'er, what do you think of Li Shanchang?"
Zhu Biao said: "With the abilities of Xiao He in the Han Dynasty and a native of Huaixi, he has made many great contributions to his father! He should be the best choice for the prime minister of the new dynasty!"
Do you need eye drops? Who wouldn’t?
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned bad when he heard this: "Do you also think that Li Shanchang must be the prime minister? Do you know that both the government and the public have recognized Li Shanchang as the first hero of the founding of the country!"
Zhu Biao had doubts on his face: "Father, there is something wrong with this. Please give me some advice!"
