As soon as the officials saw this posture, they knew that something big was going to be announced, and the civil servants became even more excited.
In the past few years, every time there is a big move, they are always the ones who suffer. They really can't stand any more innovations.
Thousands of people looked at the dragon chair together.
Zhu Di said calmly: "Most of the new capital has been built. In two years, I plan to move the capital to Shuntian and use Shuntian as the capital to defend the enemy from outside the country. What do you think?"
Without waiting for the ministers to reply, Zhu Di said again, "I always follow the good deeds. All you have to do is write your thoughts on paper and put them in the box."
He promised, "I am very open-minded and will never settle scores. I only need to write whether I agree or disagree without signing."
Finally, Zhu Di emphasized, "You must follow your heart."
After hearing this, the ministers felt a little relieved, but all of them looked grim.
From the moment the capital was built, they knew that one day the capital would be moved, but it was still difficult for them to accept the move.
"Start from the first row, come one by one, write it down and put it in the box." After Zhu Di said that, he asked the little eunuch to step back, saying that he would not 'peep', so just write without any worries.
Seeing this, the ministers relaxed a lot, and in accordance with the emperor's request, they came forward to vote one by one.
…
At three o'clock in the morning, thousands of people finally cast their votes. Zhu Di stood up and said, "If you have a copy of the memorial, please leave it for reading before leaving the court!"
The ministers saluted and dispersed after the emperor left.
Li Qing did not leave the palace, but went to Qianqing Palace.
After diagnosing and treating Xu Miaoyun, he prescribed some side medicines according to the condition, and then left Qianqing Palace.
Li Qing was also eager to know the voting results, so he went directly to the imperial study room.
~
"Li Qing, what did you vote for?" Zhu Di looked unhappy.
"I agree!"
"Is that this one?" Zhu Di took out a piece of paper and showed it to him.
Li Qing checked the handwriting, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, how many people agree and how many people oppose?"
The muscles on Zhu Di's face stood out and he cursed: "A bunch of bastards, no one agrees except you."
"Ah? This..." Li Qing couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He knew that most officials would not agree, but he did not expect that everyone would oppose it. This was really beyond his expectation.
Unexpectedly, even the hero who had been responsible for the arrest was unwilling to return to Peiping... Li Qing realized that the problem was more serious than imagined.
"The results have come out, what can you do?"
Li Qing pondered for a moment, "Divide the officials."
"for example?"
"Start with the group that is easiest to defeat." Li Qingdao, "Most of the heroes of Jingnan came from Shuntian and returned to their hometown. Their resistance is not great. As long as the emperor convinces others with virtue, they are still easy to talk to."
He suggested, "Gather some people first, and then slowly divide them."
"Well..." Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I do have a good idea."
"What?"
"Change the vote." Zhu Di said, "Change all objections to approval."
"Huh?" Li Qing was dumbfounded. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you deceiving yourself?"
"Who said that?" Zhu Di glared, "When the time comes that I will personally announce the voting results, who dares to slap me in the face and say that he voted against it?"
Li Qing was speechless. He had to say that Zhu Di's rogue strategy was quite effective.
However, it is a tough method after all, and in the final analysis it is still forced relocation.
"It's better to work hard. If it doesn't work, then use this trick again." Li Qingdao, "From opening up sea trade, to sharing the land, and then moving the capital, these national policies will all harm the interests of the ministers;
Your Majesty, these people are not good men and women. If you really push them, something might happen."
Li Qing added: "Don't forget, the people on the canal were in rebellion, the transportation of materials to build the new capital was blocked, the weaving bureau caught fire, and the porcelain kiln collapsed... In order to avoid internal strife, we can only move the capital calmly."
After a pause, "Regarding the relocation of the capital, the rejection mentality of civilian officials is much greater than that of military generals. Once the heroes of Jingnan are dealt with and the army is stabilized, we can start to deal with them."
After Zhu Di came to the throne, although he did not touch the nobles, he also reduced their military power. Now those who are in charge of the army are all heroes of Jingnan.
As for the founding heroes, they have basically been ignored.
Li Qing said seriously: "Your Majesty, the army must not be in chaos."
Hearing this, Zhu Di, who has always been stubborn, couldn't help but look solemn, sighed, and nodded slightly, "I will take care of the generals, and let Gao Chi handle the civil servants!"
You, the emperor, are not good enough. You can only control half of it... Li Qing made a small complaint, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
…
Although the matter is more serious than imagined, it is always good if the problem can be exposed in advance. Anyway, there are still several years, and there is plenty of time, so Li Qing is not too worried.
Furthermore, historically, Laosi also successfully moved the capital.
He has done everything he needs to do and has found a solution, so what else can he do?
In the following time, Li Qing devoted himself wholeheartedly to treating Xu Miaoyun.
As Xu Miaoyun's health deteriorated day by day, acupuncture became the norm. Li Qing performed acupuncture on Xu Miaoyun every day, and even used the same technique used to treat Empress Ma.
——Using Qin as medicine.
Even so, it can only delay the deterioration of Xu Miaoyun's condition.
…
A month later, the girls' health worsened and they were no longer able to walk alone.
Zhu Di ordered someone to build a four-wheeled cart. Whenever the sun came out, he would push her to walk around the palace, bask in the sun, and talk to her warmly.
The emperor and empress had deep feelings, and dog food was spread in every corner of the palace.
In the Royal Garden, the couple was talking and laughing.
Li Qing followed from a distance, picked off a longevity flower, and picked it up one by one in boredom, muttering: "One month, two months, one month..."
Soon, the petals were ravaged until only one was left. Li Qing, as if unaware, plucked it off and said, "One month."
When he tried to pick it again, he found that it was gone. Li Qing smashed it in his mouth, so he picked another one and continued to mutter: "Two months, one month..."
"What are you mumbling about?"
Li Qing, who was just immersed in it, was startled. He raised his head and saw that it was the great saint grandson. He bowed perfunctorily and said, "I have met the emperor's grandson."
After all, we are in the palace, and we must have the proper etiquette.
"No courtesy." Zhu Zhanji waved away the accompanying eunuchs and whispered, "Uncle Qing, something happened."
Li Qing was shocked and said calmly: "What's going on?"
"Second uncle, he will be back soon." Xiao Zhanji said fearfully.
"I know this." Li Qing nodded slightly, "Not only your second uncle, but also your third uncle is probably coming to the capital soon."
"What should I do now?"
Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Why are you so anxious? They are here because the Queen's condition has worsened, and they are not here to fight for the crown prince. Are you worried?"
"The prince is not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry."
Regarding Li Qing's teasing, Zhu Zhanji didn't feel ashamed at all, and looked like he should take it for granted, "I am the grandson and the eldest son of the prince. Of course I am worried for my father."
He never hides his desire for Dabao.
"My dad is not in a hurry, he is big-hearted." Zhu Zhanji said distressedly, "It's really... it's tiring to have such a dad at the table. He doesn't care about anything, and I worry about him.
"
The highest state is to not take things to heart. If the previous prince had this mentality, he would not have died young... Li Qing ignored this grandson.
The good sage grandson is talented, witty and brave, but after all, his moral skills are still shallow, unlike his father, who is wise and transparent.
Still have to learn and practice!
"Uncle Qing, you are full of bad ideas...ah no, you are very smart, but you have to think of a way to stop letting your second uncle mess up the situation." Zhu Zhanji said flatteringly, "For Xiaopang!"
"You called him Fatty too?" Li Qing said displeased, "That's your father."
"I was wrong." Zhu Zhanji said sarcastically, "I heard from my father that you gave him this nickname, but... why isn't he fat?"
"...Because your father was still young at that time." Li Qing's face was covered with black lines. He raised his hand and picked another flower, holding it petal by petal, not wanting to pay attention to his grandson.
Zhu Zhanji didn't find it annoying, and kept talking, "Based on my understanding of my second uncle, he is probably unwilling to give in, and he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity..."
"Your second uncle is not such a person." Li Qing suddenly looked serious.
"He is so serious." Zhu Zhanji said, "Don't think that my second uncle is naive, but actually..."
"Pah——!"
Zhu Zhanji suddenly felt his shoulders sink. When he looked sideways, he saw a big hand on his shoulder, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
In the palace, who among the eldest father, the second oldest father, and the third youngest would dare to be so presumptuous?
Turning around suddenly, I saw a naive face coming up to him, hehehe said: "My eldest nephew said it well!"
As he spoke, his big hands rose and fell, patting him on the shoulder, making Xiao Zhanji lose his balance.
The anger on Zhu Zhanji's face did not subside, but surprise and embarrassment appeared again. His expression was very funny, "Two, two...Second uncle."
