high official

Chapter 873
Zhu Di's reaction was also very quick. On the same day, he made a Zhu criticism on Xiao Yi's memorandum, saying that he linked the relocation of the capital with the fire in the three halls, which was completely deliberate slander!Xiao Yi, who was a young bird, was thrown into the prison of Dongchang. Without any interrogation, he was sentenced to death for the crime of slandering the emperor!
Wang Xian has no sympathy for this kind of short-sighted guy.What's more, the old eunuch released everyone and already paid him back, even if he wanted to intervene, no one would buy it... Besides, they are all people who are about to leave the capital, so what else is there to do?Except for someone to bring a letter to the prince, since Chen Xinji, Wang Xian has been nesting in the yamen for a while, while arranging and deploying future affairs, while watching the development of the situation with a cold eye...

The matter is of course not over yet, plus those who died in Dongchang Prison, eight officials have already died for the relocation of the capital!The sacrifice of eight people, instead of frightening the officials who were filled with righteous indignation, made them even more excited!Ke Dao officials wrote letters one after another, Li Chen moved the capital is the reason why the three halls were burned!The emperor moved the country's capital from Nanjing to Beijing. Not only is everything inconvenient, but even the imperial line of the Ming Dynasty is placed in the south of the Yangtze River. This is a disrespectful thing!Of course God wants to warn!
They also expressed excitedly that if the emperor wanted to kill them, they would kill them if they were willing to wash their necks!But it definitely doesn't change the point of view!

This is a bit cheap, because the people who wrote this wave are basically the officials of science and Taoism!Section refers to the six subjects to give things!Dao refers to the Thirteen Dao of Yushi!These two departments, with a total of more than 200 censors and officials, are protected by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!You can pass Chen Jun directly without punishment!What's more, the emperor ordered his subjects to speak freely, so even though he was going to be blown out of his lungs, Zhu Di still had nothing to do with these officials...

In desperation, Zhu Di had no choice but to convene ministers and ministers, six ministries and nine ministers to discuss countermeasures.These high-ranking officials and dignitaries have a rather ambiguous attitude towards moving the capital, although no one in their hearts is willing to move from the land of fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River to this bitter cold place in the extreme north.But before Zhu Di moved the capital, he had already asked them to endorse each other. Whether they took the initiative or were forced to do so, these people had already expressed their support for moving the capital.

Moreover, the officials who can achieve the six divisions and nine ministers, like those princes and dignitaries, all stood in the battle of Jingnan.Zhu Di killed the old Jianwen party back then, and there were many of these people who personally executed the sword. Even if they didn't end up, they all became enemies of the southern gentry because they belonged to Zhu Di's party!Therefore, being farther away from Jiangnan will make everyone feel more at ease.

Before, Zhu Di didn't force them to express their views, and these old and cunning guys were happy to stand by and watch.Now the emperor can't take it anymore, so naturally he wants to drag them into the water...

"I've already made up my mind," Zhu Di said slowly, sweeping his eyes across the crowd, "Fangmin's mouth is better than Fangchuan's. If you have an idea, let them speak out! It's much better than hiding it in your heart and slandering me." After a pause, Zhu Di's eyes swept across the crowd again and said: "I have already read it, and the people who wrote the letter are all young people who don't know the importance. It’s up to you teachers to preach to them and solve their doubts!”

"The ministers wait to obey the order." The ministers and ministers knew that nothing good would happen, but they had to bite the bullet and accept the order.

"I've made up my mind. After seven days, I'll let you and those officials of science and morality discuss whether Ding Mao is Mao or Ding Mao or Mao!" Zhu Di said ingeniously: "This debate must be heard by everyone in the world." ! Just outside the Meridian Gate!"

"This..." The ministers and ministers were dizzy for a while. They were already old, and this matter didn't make any sense. How could they fight with those eloquent and unreasonable officials!
"In this debate, only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed!" Zhu Di made his request unreasonably, and said in a deep voice: "Let the world know that it is right to move! It is the kingly way that conforms to the laws of the ancestors! It is due to merit Today’s grand event will benefit thousands of years!”

"The ministers are waiting to receive the order..." The ministers had no choice but to accept the order, what else could they do?

"Jier..." Finally, Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanji who had been silent at the side.

Zhu Zhanji's heart skipped a beat. He wished he could become invisible. He was worried until just now, thinking that he could escape...

"Zhu Zhanji!" Seeing his answer, Zhu Di frowned slightly, and his voice turned cold.

"The grandson is here." Zhu Zhanji hurried out and saluted respectfully: "What is the order of the emperor?"

"You will preside over this debate," Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "Make sure nothing goes wrong!"

"Zunzhi..." Zhu Zhanji's face almost turned into a bitter gourd... He could predict that the situation would be one-sided, but the officials overwhelmed the senior officials of the ministry, but the grandfather couldn't think of anything wrong. How can this referee be so black as to be able to do it?

He could already imagine that once the Meridian Gate debate was over, he would become the enemy of all officials...

.

"Hey... hey... hey..." When sitting in front of Wang Xian, Zhu Zhanji was still moaning. He drank a glass of soju, his face was flushed, and there was an inexplicable expression in his eyes: "Zhongde , brother, what do you think I'm trying to do? I used to be my filial son and grandson, so why do you have to show it? Do you think I'm asking for trouble?"

"You just know." Wang Xian looked at Zhu Zhanji, who had been a friend for many years and had become very strange.

"Hey..." Zhu Zhanji sighed again: "It's too late for me to regret now..."

"It's not too late, it's the shore when you turn back." Wang Xian persuaded in a deep voice.

"It's late, it's late." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said bitterly: "Is it so easy to get off after getting on the thief ship of the emperor's grandfather?" He sighed, drank another glass of strong wine and said, "I understand Yes, the old man wants me to offend everyone and be his lonely minister wholeheartedly!"

"Grandson, with all due respect, that's not how you should be a crown prince." Wang Xian frowned slightly.

"Why don't I know?" Zhu Zhanji raised his head, looked at Wang Xian with red and swollen eyes, and said, "If you look through the history books, can you find a few examples, like my grandparents, where the emperor, the prince, and the grandson coexisted together?! "

"There are still..." Wang Xian said softly.

"You mean Li Chongzhao, the great-grandson of Tang Gaozong?" Zhu Zhanji was well-read and memorized, even if he was drunk, he was not confused.

"That's right." Wang Xian nodded and said, "Prince Li Xian was still in power at that time."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Zhanji laughed loudly: "Zhongde! You are good at everything, but you are slightly inferior in literary talent! But that's fine, if literary talent is good, are you still human?!" After finishing speaking, he poured out again He raised a glass of wine and hung it in mid-air, and said with a sad smile: "Li Chongzhao is such a great grandson, it's too miserable. He was conferred at the age of one, and he was deposed together with his father at the age of three!" The middle wine was slowly sprinkled on the ground and said: "It can be seen that it is not a good thing to have two storages at the same time!"

"It seems that I made a random example, which is ridiculous and generous." Wang Xian smiled and said: "But there is no Empress Wu in this dynasty, and the grandson is also an adult, so how can things harm others?"

"I'd rather, I'm still an ignorant child..." Zhu Zhanji said quietly: "Now that I know all about my sorrow, I say, it's a cool autumn!" After finishing speaking, he drank several more glasses.Wang Xian originally wanted to persuade him a few more words, but seeing that he was drinking so much, he knew that it was useless to say anything, so he simply stopped talking nonsense.Just let go of your mind, have a binge drink with Zhu Zhanji, and get drunk and unconscious!
.

The next day, when Wang Xian resigned from his majesty, he still felt a splitting headache, and Zhu Zhanji was hungover, so he didn't come to serve in Qianqing Palace.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, are you secretly glad that you escaped a storm?" The emperor sat on the dragon chair, the lights and shadows danced, and he couldn't see the expression on Zhu Di's face clearly.

Wang Xian did not expect that Zhu Di would use such an opening remark, knowing that it was to let himself express his position!It seemed that this turmoil was destined to sweep over everyone, and he couldn't get away with it.With a flash of thought in his mind, he hurriedly responded: "I dare not, I only hate my lack of talent and learning, and I can't refute those officials for the emperor!" This is the strategy Wang Xian had thought up a long time ago. How dare you make a fool of the emperor!Anyway, he's just a juren, and he won't be ashamed to lose if he argues with the best of a group of Jinshi.

"What's the use of reading too much?" Zhu Di snorted and said, "I've ruined my brain!" He glanced at Wang Xian and said, "So, you don't object to my moving the capital?"

"It's not just that I don't object? I simply agree with it!" Wang Xian sighed in his heart, this is really as deep as the sea once he entered the palace, and he has been a passerby since then.But for the sake of myself, and especially for the brothers who stayed in the capital, so that life would be easier, I could only talk nonsense.

"Oh?" Zhu Di couldn't help but his eyes lit up, but he still said calmly: "Tell me, why do you support moving the capital?"

"Your Majesty moved the capital to Beijing. Even though there are thousands of inconveniences, one thing is more important than everything else!" Wang Xian said seriously: "My enemy is Mongolia! Now, under the might of the emperor, whether it is Tatar or Oirat, , all disappeared, and dare not invade our borders! But the grassland people are like weeds, and even if the gods are as powerful as your majesty, they cannot be eradicated! Given time, they may grow again at any time! At that time, if the new king is in power, if he has no ability to fight, he may be biased Thinking about it! The provinces in the north of the Yangtze River may be under the ravages of iron cavalry! It is not alarmist to repeat the mistakes of the Southern Song Dynasty! Therefore, His Majesty decided to move the capital to Beijing. It is precisely to let the emperors of the Ming Dynasty guard the country with the dignity of the emperor! In this way, Only then can we protect our lands and mountains in China from being trampled by the Hulu! Give me the people of Ming Dynasty, a period of peace for a thousand years!"

"Well said!" Zhu Di couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, and said loudly: "The scholar's opinion is not enough to reach the strategy of heroes like us!"

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it." Wang Xian hurriedly said modestly.

"Don't be too modest!" Zhu Di said, with a teasing light flashing in his eyes, he glanced at the screen beside him and said, "Your Highness, come out."

Wang Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he followed the prestige, and saw Zhu Gaochi turning out from behind the screen with a calm expression!I really didn't expect Zhu Di to play such a trick...
