Chapter 173
When King Ming went down with the knife sheren, Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "It seems that someone has been arrested, right?"

"Yes, that Protector Cao who betrayed him." Liu Ying replied in a deep voice.

"Put him to death immediately," Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ding Bin again and said, "You are not as lucky as King Ming, we have already figured out how to die for you."

"As you wish." Ding Bin said with the fierce air unique to Ming soldiers in this era: "Frown your eyebrows and we will lose."

"Come here, wash him up and tie him up, and give it to the men who rescued from the warehouse." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let them deal with it..."

"No, you can't treat me like this!" Ding Bin broke his power immediately, struggling violently and screaming. "I shed blood for Daming, and I was wounded for the emperor! Your majesty, you can kill me, but you can't abuse me like this..."

"The retribution is not good, take it away." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the man with the knife dragged Ding Bin down like a moth.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around at the crowd, raised the golden cup and said, "Come, drink this cup to the brim, and leave the table."

"Yes..." All the nobles and heroes hurriedly raised their wine glasses as if they had been pardoned.

"There is one last sentence, for you." But Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly again: "Drink the golden cup with you, and you will not forgive each other with a white blade! Let's do it for ourselves..."

As he spoke, he raised his head to toast, and then smashed the wine glass.

Everyone was frightened when they heard his words, but they trembled when they heard the sound of throwing cups, thinking that there were knives and axes lying in ambush in the palace...

Fortunately, no one rushed out from the dark entrance of the Golden Palace.

After trembling, they drank the wine in the glass, and all the honorable and meritorious officials hurriedly kowtowed to leave.

Li Shanchang still knelt there and refused to get up.

"Oh, that's right." Zhu Yuanzhang asked as if remembering something, "Where's Li Qi? Why hasn't he released him yet?"

"Yes, let him go." Liu Ying ordered in a deep voice.

In a short time, Li Qi walked onto the platform with difficulty. Apart from limping, he should have suffered nothing.

Li Qi quickly kowtowed to thank the emperor for his kindness.

"Ding Bin took care of the matter, and it's not your responsibility." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a slow tone, "help your old father go home."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qi thanked him again, then got up with difficulty and went to help his father.

"Let me go!" Li Shanchang shook off his son's hand, and suddenly roared: "If the superior doesn't take back the capital today, I will kneel and die here!"

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately pulled his donkey face again, and said to Li Shanchang: "Mr. Han, do you want to teach us how to do things?!"

"The veteran dare not teach the superior to do things. The veteran just wants to remonstrate with the superior to move the capital!" Li Shanchang resolutely said: "The Ming Dynasty must move the capital. If you don't move the capital, let alone a few years of annual income go to waste. What is the prestige of the emperor? If you don't move the capital, the veteran would rather die!"

"Then go to hell!" Zhu Yuanzhang roared suddenly, and rushed to Li Shanchang, wanting to give him a kick, but he held back after all.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes spewed fire and said to him: "To tell you the truth, we had a grand finale tonight—we're going to burn down the three bloody halls!

"It's the crown prince and the sixth son who are persuading us, saying that the three halls have already spent too much people's money and people's anointing. It is too wasteful to burn them down. Waste is the biggest crime!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly:
"That's why we keep the three main halls first, and we will demolish them together with the Forbidden City in the future. Those that can be sold for money will be sold for money and compensated to the families of the dead refugee husbands! Those that cannot be sold for money will be used to build nursing homes for ordinary people , Yoying Hall, Puji Hall..."

"Let me tell you one last time, Fengyang will no longer have three major halls, nor will it become the capital of Ming Dynasty!" He grabbed Li Shanchang's skirt, lifted him from the ground, and dusted off his python robe Gray Road on:
"Old Li, you've let us down so much. You're outdated. Your way of doing things works in troubled times, but in today's world, it can only bring disaster to the country and the people. Take care of yourself at home, and don't make us want to kill you..."

"Please think twice, the superior, it is imperative to move the capital..." Li Shanchang just repeated this sentence mechanically, as if a tape got stuck.

"Get out!" Seeing his stubbornness, Zhu Yuanzhang lost his patience completely.

"Please think twice, the superior, it is imperative to move the capital..." Li Shanchang got up again, hugged his leg, and still begged without giving up.

"Get out! Don't be ashamed!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't bear it, kicked Li Shanchang far away.

Han Gong struggled to remember, but how heavy was Boss Zhu's foot?He struggled twice, but he couldn't lift it up in one breath, and vomited blood with a wow.

"Father." Li Qi quickly supported Han Gonggong.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him, then turned and left...

"Superior, move the capital, move the capital..." Li Shanchang pushed his son away, put his hands on the ground, knelt down again, and begged in vain towards the direction where the emperor disappeared.

But no reply...

~~
In the eighth year of Hongwu, on August [-], Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Central Capital to worship heaven.

It was the place where his five sons performed for Mingjiao more than two months ago...

More than two months have passed, and the circular mound has been completed.And built a special palace wall and set up guards. It is impossible for the Mingjiao to think about whoring for nothing...

The completed Circular Mound Altar is divided into three floors, and each floor has nine steps on each side.There are exquisitely carved white marble railings around each floor.The ground is paved with fan-shaped stone slabs, and the center of the uppermost layer is a round marble, which is the Tianxin Stone.

After burning incense and offering sacrifices, Zhu Yuanzhang knelt on the Tianxin Stone, and with a heavy heart, he read to the heavens "The Congratulations to the Heaven and Earth in Zhongdu" written by himself:
"In the past, the government of the Yuan Dynasty was not governed, heroes rose together, the people were miserable, and the suffering was unstoppable. The God of Haotian, the emperor of Houtu, only sympathized with the hardships of the people of the world. He gave orders to his ministers and bestowed them with civil and military skills. Eight Since the past few years, in order to eliminate the misfortunes of the people, the ministers have received the grace of God and the land, and the ability of civil and military affairs is not good for the ministers.

"When the army crossed the great river for the first time, every time the ministers listened to Confucianism, they all said: 'If there is a world, it is not the capital of the Central Plains that cannot control the traitors and stubbornness'. Hearing these words, he never forgets them. Suddenly God, Houtu gave orders to The minister, since the beginning of Hongwu pacified the Central Plains, the minister rushed to Bianliang, intending to establish the capital to secure the world.

"At the end, the people's livelihood is in decline. The transportation by water and land is difficult, and the people are afraid of exhausting the people. So I discussed with the ministers, and everyone said that the ancient Zhonglike, so the name of the county was changed twice, and it is now Fengyang.

"In the establishment of the capital here, the civil engineering work was flourishing, and the service seriously injured people. There should be a division, and the crimes are repeated, and the more you feel, the crime of this minister is inevitable! Although the work is about to be completed now, the minister is really hard to get rid of." An, then give up the idea of ​​moving the capital, and I will sue you for my crime, but God will learn from it."

After reporting to the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly issued a formal order——

'Abolish the Ministry of Industry, stop working in the Central Capital, and immediately stop all projects in the Central Capital.Civil servants, craftsmen and craftsmen are given travel expenses for the living, and pensions for the dead, and they can return to their hometowns on the same day.

After returning to Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang made another decree to officially designate Nanjing as the capital, which completely ended the capital dispute between the two capitals...
