Chapter 220 The situation is unpredictable, the change has been determined(4/4)

"Okay, you go back first, don't let people know what you are doing today." Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the hunting rifle in his hand and put it on the wall and hung it up.

Zhu Quan withdrew from the Palace of Yangxin and quietly left the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Zhi beside him, took a deep breath and said, "You gentleman, you are good everywhere. The only thing you don't do well is how he can fall in love with the girl from the Zhu family!"

"You can take some time to persuade him and give him some advice. By the way, let him go and see in person, Zi Yi will become a monk!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was really determined to break the two of them apart. As an old farmer, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be extremely important in terms of seniority.

Zhu Zhi bowed and said, "Father, I'll go here, that gentleman won't beat me to death..."

"And if he knew that he had also participated in this matter, he would not be able to mess around."

On one hand, he was a gentleman and on the other hand, it was obvious that Zhu Zhi was still standing on his father's side.

After a long breath, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "Then let me go and see him in person."

......

Eastern Palace.

study.

Fang Shiyu lay in the letter of the report, forcibly diverting her attention and preventing herself from thinking about Zhu Ziyi.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang pushed open the wooden door of the study and walked in and said, "Are you still busy?"

"Old Zhu, why are you here? If you have any questions, just tell me to find you!" Fang Shiyu hurriedly stepped forward to take over the work of the little eunuch and helped Zhu Yuanzhang sit on the soft collapse of the study.

Looking at Fang Shiyu's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a little moved and said in surprise: "I'm asking you to tell you something big!"

"Big thing? What big thing??"

Fang Shiyu hesitated.

Nowadays, the country is peaceful and the people are living and working in peace. Although the court's finances are a bit tense, they are not yet at the end of their lives. Fang Shiyu also has a solution to the financial problems.

It's nothing big to see if you look at it this way.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You all go down!"

The eunuchs bowed and left the study room of the East Palace.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang spoke up with Fang Shiyu solemnly and asked seriously: "You must marry Ziyi?"

"Old Zhu, what do you mean by asking?"

Fang Shiyu frowned and a very bad idea appeared in his mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have decided on moving the capital. Before we get there, move the capital to Peiping, as for your marriage next year!"

"If you want to marry Ziyi, it's okay. But I want you to agree - something. Only if you agree will I agree. Otherwise..."

Fang Shiyu smiled and received: "Otherwise, I will never see her in my life. What did you do, Lao Zhu?" Fang Shiyu's breathing was a little rapid, and she actually asked questions.

With a slight smile, Zhu Yuanzhang returned: "I did nothing, as long as you agree. If your children do not participate in the government affairs in this life, I will let you see Ziyi at the wedding ceremony."

For some reason, Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally planned to guide Fang Shiyu, suddenly changed his attention after entering the house.

Fang Shiyu lowered his head slightly and sighed: "Don't talk about my descendants, even if I don't want to participate in the government, wasn't this what you forced me to do? I promise you that's!"

"That's good! That's good! Your private matter is over. It's time to talk about some official matters. Tomorrow, Taihe Gate and I will issue an order to build a new palace in Peiping. You think about it, where should King Yan Zhu Di move to?"

Seeing that Fang Shiyu had agreed to his conditions, Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to speak more about his children's love affair.

It seems that Lao Zhu's head weighed the pros and cons when facing the love between the Dragon Chair of the Zhu Dynasty and Fang Shiyu.

"Are you a little too hasty?" Fang Shiyu was stunned for a moment. This old man Zhu was too reckless and said that he would move the capital and order the construction of the palace tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed when he heard this, "It's not enough to be anxious. I don't know how long I can live. I will do all these things before I die, so Biao'er won't be so tired!"

In the feudal era, Zhu Yuanzhang was already considered old at this time, and his health was getting worse, and no one knew how long he could live.

Even Fang Shiyu, I am not sure that Zhu Yuanzhang would have died in the 31st year of Hongwu. It is very likely that he died suddenly because of something, or that he lived a few more years because of something. History has become unpredictable.

The things that Bi Yi and Fang Shiyu did have long changed the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"If the capital is moved, Zhu Laosi's resettlement is indeed a problem. If you calculate carefully, you can only move Zhu Laosi to the Great Wall, or the Liaodong region in the northern border!"

As soon as Fang Shiyu finished speaking, he suddenly thought of another thing, that is, the matter of the old Zhutou Mausoleum. After all, Empress Ma was still buried in Yingtian's imperial tomb at this time. Fang Shiyu suddenly remembered the problem of the tomb.

Zhu Yuanzhang was old. If he wanted to build a new capital in Yanjing, the palace would have to be built, and it would have to be larger than Yingtian, not smaller than Yingtian, and the outline of the city wall would have to be built, but it would have to be taller than Yingtian, not weaker than Yingtian. The moat would have to be expanded and the mausoleum would have to be built.

The infrastructure of these emperors is not missing, but the Ming Dynasty just broke the military household registration system and changed it to a recruiting official system.

The annual military expenditure is astronomical, and there is more money to build a new palace and mausoleum.

"I have thought about this simple. Anyone who succeeded the Ming Dynasty, who left Bintian, will go to Zhongshan for seven days to be buried in Beiping! All the tombs will be built in Zhongshan." Zhu Yuanzhang said firmly.

Fang Shiyu frowned and thought for a while before speaking: "That's fine, but are you still a little too hasty in these things? The money needed is an astronomical number!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "There is still a lot of gold in the treasury, which is too much eight million taels to build a new city. Don't you also transport some high-quality wood overseas? The move to the capital is urgent." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a firm tone.

It seems that he is going to move the palace to Peking before he dies.

Fang Shiyu was shocked when he heard this. Old Zhutou was indeed the most stingy emperor. He had saved so much money over the years.

But what Fang Shiyu didn't know was that, except for the ones he brought back, more than 80% of these gold were collected in the 22nd and 23rd year of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang collected the land in the world and brought it to the imperial village, cutting the cracks in the gentry's doors and exiling them. Almost all the money was obtained from the family scout and the family exiled!

"Hey? Old Zhu, it's not right!" Fang Shiyu suddenly asked in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion.

"Old Zhu, think about it. If we move the capital to Peiping, should the border control power in the north be held in the hands of the court, not in the hands of the vassal kings?"

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest turning point was about to come out, and Fang Shiyu felt that it was time for him to prepare in advance.

Fang Shiyu was shining with light, and moving the capital to Yanjing was a historic decision. Only when the Ming Dynasty established its capital in the north could it firmly control the north, curb the southward invasion of the northern nomadic peoples and maintain the empire's rule in the north.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said softly: "That's how they do have some military power, but this doesn't matter. I'm still alive, so it's not their turn to make trouble."

Fang Shiyu shook his head and said, "But there will always be a time when you leave. At that time, these vassal kings will not obey the court. They hold military power and are near the capital. It will be a melee. Although there is no need to worry about the outcome of the war, the final result will inevitably be that the land of the north will be devastated. The court's management of the north will be even more difficult."

"So, I think that to move the capital to Yanjing, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of the martyrs of the vassal kings."

"I will find a way to solve this matter. You can continue to comment on memorials." After Zhu Yuanzhang said that, he stood up and left the study room of the East Palace.
