The first day of November in the fourteenth year of Yongkang, Shuowang Dynasty.
Hundreds of officials went to Fengtian Temple to congratulate.
There are three types of early dynasties in the Wei Dynasty, one is the "Great Dynasty". It is held every year on Zhengdan, Winter Solstice and Longevity Festival. One is the "Shuowang Dynasty", which is a big court meeting held on the first and fifteenth day of each month.
These two court meetings are not limited to Beijing officials of the fourth rank or above.
Instead, all the officials stationed in Beijing, regardless of their size, and officials from various provinces who came to Beijing to report on their duties, all went to court to congratulate. It is a kind of court meeting of courtesy, only congratulations and greetings to the emperor, and you can see the beauty of the sky, regardless of court affairs.
There is another kind, which is the usual court meeting.
As for the usual court meetings, Beijing officials with a rank of four or more will participate. And not everyone above the fourth rank will participate. Therefore, there are only dozens of people in the usual court meeting, but there can be at least a thousand people in the Dachao and Shuowang dynasties.
It doesn't matter whether you can see Tianyan or not. It is also an honor for some low-level officials to enter the palace.
Of course, people who like to sleep late and be lazy in politics are not included.
During the Shuo Wang Dynasty on the first day of November, hundreds of officials congratulated each other in the Fengtian Hall. They didn't talk about the affairs of the court at first, but in the end, there was something different.
Several officials from the Ministry of Rites got hints from Emperor Yongkang and appeared in front of all the officials, saying that Yanjing and Beiping were the emperor's "Land of Dragon Prosperity" full of dragon aura, and suggested that Emperor Yongkang follow the example of Taizu's treatment of Fengyang. In this way, Beiping will be established as the accompanying capital.
Emperor Yongkang did not speak.
Hundred officials are also silent.
Li Zhigang, Minister of Rites, said, "Peking is not as good as an imperial capital. All the ministers and workers know that the Imperial Palace of the capital was built by filling a lake. Over the years, the land surface has subsided, so that it is high in the south and low in the north. It is really ominous. Omen..."
The censors next to me were not happy when they heard this, and retorted: "Taizu established Nanjing as his capital, and built city walls and palaces, which cost a lot of money. Now you want to abandon the emperor's veins and Xiaoling Mausoleum. You are violating the ancestral system!"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites had already received the express hint from Emperor Yongkang, and they decided to move the capital today.
said: "The Taizu once ordered the former prince to inspect the Guanzhong area, and planned to move the capital to Chang'an. It was only when the prince died of illness the next year that the Taizu didn't mention it again. It can be seen that the Taizu was not satisfied with Nanjing."
What dragon veins are not dragon veins, the place where the emperor is, is the dragon veins.
Originally, there was no discussion of politics today, but the matter of moving the capital was brought out, and all the civil and military officials made a fuss.
It has been 50 years since Taizu established the dynasty. The wealthy families of various aristocratic families have taken root in the capital, and the in-laws are old.
Adapted to the spring water and green waves in the south of the Yangtze River, painting boats and listening to rain sleep, you told me to move to the cold north to live?
The literati in the south were quite critical of Emperor Yongkang, who took the throne from his nephew, and now they are asked to move their family to the north?
There was a quarrel.
Mu Yan stood in the row of military officers, slightly raised his head to look at Mr. Yuezhang standing in front.
There were only shadows of people, he was only a fourth-rank official in Jinyiwei, and he couldn't see the father-in-law standing in the first row. But he could tell by feeling that Lord Taishan was standing there.
Master Taishan didn't say a word.
Mu Yan also bowed his head.
Zhang Fu's silence does not mean that Emperor Yongkang will let him go. A few confidantes, if you don't come out to help the platform at this time, when will you stay?
"Prince England, what do you think?"
The wat board in Mu Yan's hand tightened.
Then he heard his father-in-law come out and play: "Back to the emperor, the minister agrees to move the capital..."
All the officials below were buzzing.
"Yes. I have led troops to conquer Mobei several times. The remnants of the Wu Dynasty are dead but not dead. Every autumn and winter, they will still come to thresh corn and grass, disturb the people, and try to return to their seclusion. It is still a thorn in my back. Thorn. Although there is the Great Wall in the north as a natural barrier, it will consume a lot of troops every time it is called back. If Beiping is used as the capital, it can increase the military defense. In addition, the emperor guards the gate and occupies the northern fortress, which can effectively block the attack. The invasion of foreign enemies has increased the military defense, which can protect our country for thousands of years."
"Subsidiary." Military officers are different from civilian officials. Most of them are the emperor's confidantes, and no one knows who.
"Second minister."
"Second minister."
…
"Your Majesty, don't do it! If the foundation of the ancestors is disturbed, the country will be unstable!" Some veterans cried bitterly and choked their heads on the ground.
"Please take it back, Your Majesty!"
"Please take it back, Your Majesty!"
Mu Yan saw that almost all the civil servants were kneeling on the ground. Looking at the military officer's side, they also knelt down together. Is it not good for him to stand still?
"Second minister!" Express your opinion quickly.
Several speech officials, seeing that the military attache overwhelmingly agreed to move the capital, wanted to bump their heads against the pillar one after another in order to maintain the foundation of their ancestors.
Fengtian Temple is in a mess.
"My heart has been decided. What the Duke of England said is very much in my favor. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. It is deeply in my heart! I hope to drive out foreign enemies, restore the peace of the world, and protect my David forever!"
Emperor Yongkang made the final decision.
"Your Majesty, no!"
"The emperor!"
The civil servants used their foreheads to compare the hardness of the floor tiles of the palace with bangs, and they heard a loud noise.
Mu Yan felt his teeth were sore, why bother?
Can be stronger than the emperor?
Sure enough, Emperor Yongkang immediately ordered people to drag out the ministers who opposed it, and those who were dismissed were severely punished. If the monkey jumps up and down and doesn't listen to the master, it will kill a few chickens in return to show its majesty.
Suddenly, the voices in the hall became much quieter.
Emperor Yongkang announced the news of moving the capital in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. From now on, Beiping will be changed to Beijing, and the Forbidden City in Beijing will be built on the basis of the Forbidden City in Nanjing.
After the court meeting was over, a group of ministers walked out of the palace gate, and Zhang Fu was surrounded tightly.
"Mr. Ying, how can you agree to move the capital? This is a major event that disrupts the foundation of the imperial court!"
Don't talk about Feng Shui, don't talk about the dragon's veins, the place where the dragon thrives, just talk about reason.
Before the construction of Beiping City, just building the city wall, repairing the old palace and the palace of King Yan, dispatched nearly a million civilians and soldiers, and the national treasury was consumed so much that they could hardly make ends meet. Where is the money to build another Forbidden City?
"That's right, Lord Ying, your ancestors are from the north. You are used to the north, so you use your power for personal gain and agree to move the capital out of your own selfish intentions. What is your intention?"
Zhang Fu was surrounded by people talking about it, and he couldn't talk about these civil servants with a single mouth.
Mu Yan frowned, and pushed these civil servants away: "Everyone, you say my father-in-law has selfishness? Don't you have selfishness? Are you used to living in the south, and you are reluctant to abandon your family and career, so you object?"
"you!"
"Besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor has made a decision this time. And there have been signs as early as a few years ago. After Changling was repaired, you still can't see that the emperor wants to move the capital? Three years ago, Empress Wen moved to bury the chief Mausoleum, you still don't understand? My father-in-law is just following the king's heart, what do you want to say about my father-in-law?"
Ridiculous.
Supporting him, Master Taishan squeezed out from the crowd and walked away.
