As soon as the matter of moving the capital was raised, all the civil and military officials were in a panic. No one expressed their agreement. The capital city is the legacy saved by the emperors of all dynasties.
If we move the capital, wouldn't we also lose our ancestors' family property?
Chu Xuanzhi listened to the people in the hall expressing their dissatisfaction with each other. He frowned and sat there for two whole hours.
All the civil and military officials knelt and filled the hall.
It was pitch black outside the hall.
It was already midnight, but the palace was brightly lit with candles.
Chu Xuanzhi listened patiently, without showing a trace of impatience on his face, until someone walked out of the crowd.
"Your Majesty, I think Linyi is a good place. It has picturesque mountains and rivers. It has the same pronunciation as the name of the country. Linyi is also the central location of Lingyi. It can be convenient for the Emperor to understand the national conditions and convey public opinion. As for the capital, staying here will not ruin it."
How can we abandon the idea of ancestral inheritance?"
The person who spoke was none other than Jiang Han.
Jiang Han opened his mouth and immediately became the target of public criticism.
"Jiang Han, stop talking nonsense here. How can it be so easy to move the capital? The capital is complete, what does Linyi have?"
"That's right, there are a lot of wars going on at the front where people and money are needed. Moving the capital will cost a lot."
The words of the civil and military officials almost drowned Jiang Han. They did not dare to attack Chu Xuanzhi above, so they had no choice but to turn their attention to Jiang Han.
Jiang Han's eyelids twitched and he looked up.
In fact, he didn't agree to move the capital. It was too troublesome. Isn't the capital a good place? But Chu Xuanzhi's conditions were too tempting.
As a result, Jiang Han had no choice but to go against his original intention and choose to help Chu Xuanzhi say things that went against his conscience.
"What Mr. Li said is wrong. What happened to our great country when we moved the capital? Do we still need to be criticized? Why do I feel that Mr. Li is unwilling to leave the capital and is used to enjoying the glory and wealth? Since ancient times, it has not been very common for emperors to move their capitals.
Normal?”
Jiang Han cleared his throat and continued to stand forward. He said with great pressure on his head: "Wei Chen knows some Bagua divination. The emperor's fate is incompatible with the capital. He may be... at least lose his life, or at worst the country will be destroyed.
The family died."
As soon as the words fell to the ground, the hall fell silent for an instant.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Jiang Han in disbelief. Some people yelled at him that he was a fool for daring to say such unlucky words.
Today is the emperor’s first day on the throne!
As expected, Chu Xuanzhi's expression changed.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are also thinking about the safety of the Emperor. Linyi is the auspicious place for the Emperor. It will definitely allow the Emperor to overcome obstacles and win many battles, and strengthen my Lingyi." Jiang Han knelt on the ground and faced Chu Xuanzhi.
kowtow.
Chu Xuanzhi's eyes swept around the hall and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty, think twice..."
"Master Zhou, do you want to see the emperor in danger, the mausoleum and the country destroyed, and the people displaced?"
Jiang Han angrily criticized the person who spoke, not even giving him a chance to speak.
Mr. Zhou's face turned pale when he was retorted, and he glared at Jiang Han angrily.
"The emperor has been on expeditions for many years and has made outstanding military achievements. He has resisted foreign invasions many times and made many great contributions for Lingyi. Today, he is just moving the capital. We build a palace in Linyi and can go to war. This is not telling other countries that we Lingyi
When the army is strong and the horses are strong, the country is rich and the people are strong, and when the emperor personally leads the expedition, it is even more inspiring."
Jiang Han racked his brains and talked about various benefits.
"Your Majesty, I remember that there happens to be an abandoned palace of the former dynasty in Linyi. After repairing it, we can move there directly."
Jiang Han offended everyone in the court with his sharp tongue.
Seeing that it was imperative to move the capital, the wise man gradually relaxed and began to talk about the benefits of moving the capital.
Then two groups of people began to argue in the main hall.
Upon seeing this, Yin Feng quietly brought a cup of ginseng tea and handed it over. The emperor had given instructions that it would take two days to convince the civil and military officials about moving the capital. It was only one night, and there was still plenty of time left.
Chu Xuanzhi drank a cup of tea and continued to listen to the two sides talking to each other about their reasons.
