Chapter 65
In the early morning of Fengtian Hall, the officials were chattering and quarreling, and Zhu Gaoxuan was wearing a pro-royal attire, standing in front of the golden chair and taking a nap.

"Cough cough." As Duke Qi's old father-in-law, Zhang Fu coughed lightly, implying that Zhu Gaoxuan should pay attention to his manners.

This is Fengtian Temple, is this the place where you doze off!

"Huh?" Zhu Gaoyi woke up from his sleepiness, his eyes showed confusion, "Why, have you retreated?"

Zhang Fu was almost overwhelmed when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is watching you."

Zhu Gaoxuan looked at the golden chair, and sure enough, he found that Zhu Di was also looking at him.

He smiled sheepishly, and said in a low voice, "Father-in-law, you're so dishonest, why didn't you call me earlier."

Zhang Fu was numb.

"All right!"

Zhu Di, who was sitting on the golden chair, interrupted the speeches of the ministers, "The matter of moving the capital is roughly settled, and I don't want to hear any more remarks against moving the capital from the court!"

The dispute between the DPRK and China this morning was nothing more than the relocation of the capital.

Because the Hongwu and Jianwen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty both ascended the throne in Jinling City, and Zhu Di ascended the throne in Jinling City, but Zhu Di, who has lived in the north for so many years, does not like the climate here. He has always wanted to return to Shuntian Mansion. The sky is the starting point for him to compete in the world, and it also has the foundation he has laid over the years.

However, it is obviously not enough to move the capital based on this point alone. The move is not a matter for him alone, and requires the support of civil and military officials.

However, it is obvious that the officials are not willing to support Zhu Di's move of the capital.

It has been several decades since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and groups of large and small groups have gradually formed in the capital. Their foundation is in Jinling City. If the capital is moved, it will definitely affect their foundation.Besides, the weather in Shuntian Mansion was extremely cold, and the officials who were used to Jinling City's life like spring all the year round were not willing to run there to suffer from the cold.

It's just that a great change happened in the seventh year of Yongle, which gave Zhu Di a good reason to insist on moving the capital.

In August of the seventh year of Yongle, Qi State Duke Qiu Fu's 50-strong army was annihilated in his expedition to Mobei. This made Zhu Di angry. An army of [-] marched to Mobei.

Such a large-scale army must have a city suitable for repairing as a support, so Shuntian Mansion began to reflect its strategic significance.

Although Emperor Taizu Gao defeated the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolia was the "base camp" of the Yuan Dynasty. They still eyeed the Central Plains. If they continued to set their capital in Jinling City, the entire northern region would still have the possibility of becoming the main battlefield, so Zhu Di moved the capital. Shuntian hoarded the main force of Ming Dynasty in the north, so as to have the confidence to fight with Mongolia and other nomadic peoples continuously, so that the emperor guarded the gate of the country and the king died.

It's just that because of the flood in Shandong, the transportation project for the construction of the Shuntian Palace was delayed, and the officials who were unwilling to move the capital found an opportunity to jump out and use the excuse of "the sky is not beautiful" to oppose the move of the capital.

In order to silence these people, Zhu Di said loudly: "I have decided to inspect Shuntian to reassure the people!"

"Next, let me tell you about the list of accompanying drivers on the northern tour..."

Zhu Gaoxuan laughed when he heard this, even the list has been sorted out, the old man has already prepared for the northern tour, Shuntian.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty kept blaming, which was of no use at all, and no one could shake the emperor's mind.

Zhu Di handed the list he had written long ago to Tang Cheng, and the eunuch recited it.

"After my northern tour, the prince Zhu Gaochi will supervise the country, and the prince's young teacher Yao Guangxiao will assist..."

Hearing the name "Yao Guangxiao", Zhu Gaoyi couldn't help but look at the old monk who stood at the head of civil servants.

Yao Guangxiao, this is a man of God. Although he is a monk, he did rebellion. He was the biggest conspirator behind the battle of Jingnan, and he assisted Zhu Di to bring down the world.

After Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, Yao Guangxiao was appointed as Zuo Shanshi, the head of the monk record department.

Later, Zhu Di ordered Yao Guangxiao to return to vulgar life, but Yao Guangxiao refused.Zhu Di gave him a mansion and maids, but Yao Guangxiao still didn't accept it. He just lived in the temple.When he went to Su Lake for disaster relief, he went to Changzhou and distributed all the gold he received to the clan and villagers.

Whenever Zhu Di travels between Jinling and Shuntian, and conquers Mongolia, Yao Guangxiao stays in Jinling City and assists the prince Zhu Gaochi to supervise the country.

……

Yao Guangxiao, who was wearing court clothes and had a plain face, probably noticed that someone was watching him, so he looked sideways at Zhu Gaoxuan with sinister triangular eyes.

This face does not look like a monk, it is clearly a heinous villain!

Zhu Gaoxuan cupped his hands slightly, showing full respect to the old monk.

He really should be grateful to this old monk, if Yao Guangxiao hadn't been fanning the flames to persuade Zhu Di to rebel, he should not be King Qi now, but a group of kings.In addition, there is another possibility, that is, Zhu Di was forced to rebel because of Jianwen and cutting down the vassal, but because of the failure of the rebellion without the assistance of Yao Guangxiao, a top counselor, he was finally deposed as a commoner, and Zhu Gaoxuan also ended bleakly.

"King Qi...it's interesting." After observing King Qi's face, Yao Guangxiao evoked a smile.

……

"Accompanies the northern tour, led by the guard general Fan Zhong, accompanied by Qi Wang Zhu Gaoxuan, emperor grandson Zhu Zhanji, and cabinet scholars Hu Guang, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi..."

Zhu Gaoxuan listened with gusto at the beginning, but the more he listened, the more something went wrong.

Why is it that King Qi's name is still on the list for the northern tour?
Guard General Fan Zhong has always been the head of Zhu Di's personal bodyguard, and it is reasonable to be the commander of the pro-army.

And the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji has been running around with the emperor for so many years, and the cabinet scholars accompanied him to teach, which is also very reasonable.

But what is Zhu Di doing with Prince Qi on his northern tour!
There is no reason for the prince to accompany the emperor on his northern tour!

……

After Zhang Fu heard that King Qi was accompanying him on the northern tour, he cast his eyes on Zhu Gaoxuan suspiciously: "Why did the emperor let you accompany him on the northern tour?"

Zhu Gaoxuan responded depressedly: "I don't know, the emperor thinks it out, who can figure out that there is such a thing."

He didn't want to accompany him on the north tour, Zhu Gaoxuan lived a good life in Jinling City, and lived a happy life without shame and shame in the palace every day with the princess.This northern tour is just a few months old, how could he be willing to go.

Thinking that he will have to rely on his hands for the next few months, Zhu Gaoxuan felt bitter in his heart.

Damn, I have been single for more than 20 years, and I finally got out of the single, and I still have to live with my hands!

Zhu Gaoxuan had already greeted the eighteen generations of Zhu Di's ancestors in his heart, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

This old man is not doing human affairs day by day, and only engages in some saucy operations to harm people.

"Zhu Di nmsl!"

……

"Retreat!"

After announcing his resignation, Zhu Di inadvertently walked past Zhu Gaoxuan, and heard the kid mumbling what he was talking about, he frowned and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

Zhu Gaoxuan raised his head and smiled like a peach blossom: "My son is wishing the emperor good luck like the East China Sea, and live the same life as the sky!"

Zhu Di rubbed his chin: "You are considered filial."
