Chapter 825 Aggressive feelings
At home, Zhu Zhanji was restlessly waiting for him to come back.

As soon as he saw Wang Xian, Zhu Zhanji jumped up to him and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Has my father changed his mind?"

Wang Xian shook his head, and began to roast his hands beside the charcoal basin.

"You can't persuade him?" Zhu Zhanji looked at Wang Xian in disbelief, and said disappointedly, "As long as you want to persuade him, you can!" He hummed depressedly and said, "You must be perfunctory." thing!"

"Actually," Wang Xian felt his hands warm up and his face flushed, Fang said slowly, "I was persuaded by your father."

"How is it possible?!" Zhu Zhanji jumped up, blew his beard and stared and said, "It's fine if you don't want to help, stop fooling me with such words!"

"It's true." Wang Xian sighed, and said softly: "Your father mentioned two points. One is that the capital was moved to the border, which made the border defense army lose its strategic depth, and there was too little room for maneuver. Moreover, it was necessary to defend Beijing heavily, resulting in the loss of troops in the Northwest and Northeast. Emptiness will make Daming extremely passive!" After a pause, he said, "Besides, relying on water transport to supply the north is already very difficult, and with the capital moving to the north, it will be even more..."

"Okay!" Before Wang Xian finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji waved his hand roughly, and said impatiently: "If you want to object, you can always find a reason!"

"I think what your father said makes sense." Wang Xian frowned slightly.

"Speak to my grandpa if you have the ability!" Zhu Zhanji was so angry that he said angrily, "Do you think he dares?!"

"I think it is daring." Wang Xian said lightly: "Don't always underestimate your father, he is a responsible prince."

"Then wait to bear the wrath of the thunder!" Zhu Zhanji panted angrily: "No one can stop what Grandpa Huang wants to do!" As he warmed up the fire, a wave of evil grew out of his guts, and he kicked the charcoal basin away, and the fiery red charcoal flew out, burning through the carpet and burning holes in Wang Xian's robe.

But Wang Xian still stood there with leisure, still smiling and said: "Be careful not to burn your feet."

"You!" Zhu Zhanji was so angry that he wanted to punch Wang Xian.

"Zhu Zhanji! What do you want to do?!" At this moment, there was an angry shout, and the silver bell and willow eyebrows who heard the sound appeared at the door of the house.

Zhu Zhan was basically like a tiger. When he saw Yinling, he was immediately discouraged, forced out an ugly smile, and stammered: "No, it's nothing, we are just kidding..."

"Then why don't you let my brother put the brazier on your head!" Yin Ling's eyes spewed fire, and the little affection she had for Zhu Zhanji just now disappeared all of a sudden.

"Hey!" Zhu Zhanji knew he couldn't explain it, so he had to leave. "I'll come back another day!"

"Don't come again!" Yinling said angrily at Zhu Zhanji's back, seeing that a big hole had been burned in the carpet in the room, she quickly picked up a broom to save it.After a while, he tidied up the house and said to Wang Xian: "Brother, you should change your robe quickly."

"It doesn't matter." Wang Xian shook his head and said with a smile, "You are quite powerful. I guess in the Ming Dynasty, apart from the emperor, you are the only one who can scare His Highness the Grandson."

"Brother..." Yin Ling blushed and said with a dark expression, "You really plan to let me marry him?"

"Hey..." Wang Xian's expression darkened, and he sighed, "He is still sincere to you..."

"I know," Yinling said with reddened eyes, choking with sobs, "but I also know that he used his grandson's power to force Xiaoqian's father to marry Miss Dong and Xiaoqian."

"Even if he doesn't say it, Mr. Yu will do it like this." Wang Xian looked at his sister with pity, and said softly: "The Yu family has a family of hairpins and has been officials for generations, and will not allow Yu Qian and his grandson to rob women. That way It will bring disaster to the Yu family."

"But Xiaoqian..." Yinling lowered her head, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"What happened to him?" Wang Xian asked softly.

Yinling shook her head, and didn't say any more.

"I'll ask someone to find clothes for brother to change." After finishing speaking, Yinling went out.

Looking at his younger sister's flustered back, Wang Xian frowned slightly, called Zhou Yong to his side, and gave instructions in a low voice.

Zhou Yong nodded and went.

.

The days passed day by day, seemingly calm, but in fact the dark tide was turbulent.On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when the yamen reopened, the news that the emperor decided to move the capital and the crown prince tried his best to dissuade it had spread throughout the yamen in the capital.

Not only the yamen such as the Six Imperial Academy, but even the usually solemn and quiet places like Duchayuan and Dali Temple, the officials couldn't help getting together and discussing with each other.

"Everyone, have you heard? The emperor decided to move the capital to Beijing!" In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a supervisory censor started the conversation.

"Why haven't you heard of it? I heard that the emperor and the crown prince had a quarrel over this matter..." All the censors, who were usually steady and silent, suddenly exploded.

"Yes, it is said that the emperor originally wanted the crown prince to take the lead, but the crown prince insisted on refusing to do so. He argued hard and almost got beaten." Another censor broke the news: "After the crown prince returned, he kept the door closed. Not to mention contacting the ministers to write a letter to move the capital..."

"Really?" All the censors sighed for a while: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very honorable, but I'm afraid the emperor can't change his mind."

"Yes." All the censors nodded one after another. The officials of the Ming Dynasty really had a deep understanding of Emperor Yongle's dictatorship. "The emperor gets angry, I'm afraid the prince will suffer too!"

"However, the crown prince has resisted, so no one will risk the disgrace of the world, right?" A young censor said optimistically: "No one mentioned it, the emperor can't say this by himself, right?"

"What are you thinking?" an elderly censor of the imperial capital spat out, "There is no prince but a grandson. I heard that His Highness the grandson has united a group of people to propose moving the capital when preparing for the next day's imperial court. "

"Really?" The censors didn't know much about this news, and they couldn't help saying in horror: "That's terrible! Once the Taisun and the others bring it up, I'm afraid the emperor will follow suit!"

"It will definitely." All the censors couldn't help feeling panicked, and they were gloomy.

"Hi!" But there was the fierce censor, who shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of! This kind of thing is louder than anyone else! There are thousands of civil and military officials in the dynasty, except for a traitor, who would agree to move the capital?! "He patted his chest and said: "Zhang is not talented, I hope that the court will strive hard, and at worst he will die in His Royal Highness Jin Luan! I don't believe that the emperor will not be moved!"

This remark was like pouring water into a frying pan, and all the censors exploded at once, and the crowd enthusiastically said: "Yes! There are still many people who oppose the move of the capital! As long as everyone opposes it desperately! The emperor can only give up!"

"Exactly! We have never lost anyone in the voice competition..."

"What are you shouting about!" Everyone was planning excitedly, when a majestic shout rang out.

There is no need to look back, the censors also know that it is their Chief Constitution, Zuodu censor Liu Guan who is here.Everyone hurriedly stopped talking and bowed to salute. "Constitution."

Only then did I realize that besides Liu Guan, who had white beard and hair, Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was also there.The censors hurriedly added: "Master Department Hall."

Lu Zhen nodded slightly, but Liu Guan's face was dark, and he snorted: "It's so noisy on the first day of the new year, what's the manners?!" The censors were about to tell each other, but Liu Guan flicked his sleeves and reprimanded: "What's the matter? Get out of here quickly! Let Master Lu laugh at you!"

"Yes..." All the censors had no choice but to leave in dismay, Liu Guan stretched out his hand to Lu Zhen with a straight face and said, "Please."

"Okay." Lu Zhen nodded, and Liu Guan entered the Shangshu's room.

Entering the room, a chief served tea to the two ministers, then bowed and retreated.

There was no one else in the room, Lu Zhen sighed and said, "Lord Liu showed me a good show."

"The crowd is raging, how about Yinai?" Liu Guan sighed depressedly, "Master Lu laughed."

"So..." Lu Zhennai decided to be a smart person, and he knew the elegance of listening to Xiange. He glanced at Liu Guan and said, "The emperor also talked to you?"

"Yes." Liu nodded his head, and said with a sleepy expression, "The emperor said that he wants me to go to court in the future and submit to his grandson's proposal." He asked Lu Zhen, "Surely His Majesty also asked Mr. Lu the same?"

"Yeah," Lu Zhen nodded, and said with pain on his face, "That's why I came here to ask you for an idea."

"What do I have in mind?" Liu Guanyi pointed to the outside: "The crowd is so raging, we have obeyed the king, how will we deal with our subordinates in the future?"

"But if you don't obey the emperor," Lu Zhen said in a depressed voice, "the black yarn on this head may be lost immediately."

"Yes." Liu Guan nodded, and said in a sad voice: "You and I are really in a dilemma, it's hard to be in a dilemma!"

"Hey..." The two fell silent for a while, and after drinking tea in silence, Lu Zhenfang asked Liu Guan in a low voice: "Master Liu, in all fairness, are you heading south or north?"

"Then there's no need to ask?" Liu Guan sighed and said, "Although I'm from Hebei, I don't agree with the emperor's move to the north. Ancient books say that the establishment of the capital pays attention to impartiality, but now the emperor wants to move the capital to the northeast corner. It’s about playing a game of chess to death!”

"Yes." Lu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Master Liu can think so, I am relieved." He said a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, our six officials have already made an agreement. The courts all pressured them to resign, and asked the emperor to veto the Taisun's proposal."

"So," Liu Guan said a little displeased, "Just keep it from me?!"

"Why don't you come to discuss this with Master Liu." Lu Zhen hurriedly persuaded: "Don't blame Master Liu, you are from Hebei after all! Even if you support moving the capital, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Hey!" Liu Guan said with a wry smile, "This statement is wrong. Right now, the elders in my hometown are already too hard to work. Once Hebei becomes Zhili, the elders may fall into a sea of ​​misery forever."

"That's right." Lu Zhen nodded, looked at Liu Guan and said, "Then it's settled?"

"Okay." Liu Guan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, we will resign together!"

"It's a deal!" Lu Zhen stretched out his palm.

"It's a deal!" Liu Guan also reached out to give him a high five.
