My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 581
"Zhan He, since His Majesty has tested your attitude a long time ago, it will be of no use to you to go to him now. Instead, it may cause you to break up, so you might as well not come forward!"

Zhu Yong thought about it again and again, and finally persuaded Zhu Zhanhe.

He knew that Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Gaochi had a deep relationship. If the two had a falling out over the capital move, Zhu Zhanhe would definitely be very sad, so Zhu Yong advised Zhu Zhanhe not to go to the palace to see Zhu Gaochi.

But after hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe shook his head and said: "No! I have to come forward in this matter. In order to move the capital, Grandpa Huang put in a lot of effort and energy, and withstood the opposition of countless people, and finally moved the capital to Beijing. I No one will be allowed to undermine this decision!"

Zhu Zhanhe had already thought clearly that moving the capital was no small matter. This matter not only related to Zhu Di's political achievements, but also related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, so even if he knew he couldn't do it, he still wanted to express his attitude to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Yong knew Zhu Zhanhe best, and when he heard what he said, he also knew that his mind had been made up, and there was no use in trying to persuade him, so in the end he could only sigh and said: "Okay, then you can make your own decision after entering the palace. It's best not to It made things too tense."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded, then asked someone to prepare the car, and he entered the palace alone.

When Zhu Zhanhe came to Wuying Hall, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the hall before he entered the hall. The voice seemed to be Zhu Zhanji?
So Zhu Zhanhe stepped into the main hall, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Zhanji's face flushed, loudly stating to Zhu Gaochi the importance of making Beijing the capital and the shortcomings of Nanjing as the capital.

Zhu Zhanhe did not interrupt Zhu Zhanji, but stood aside and listened quietly. It could be seen that Zhu Zhanji, like him, was also a supporter of the capital city of Beijing. After all, he was brought up by Zhu Di. , I still have the vision I should have.

"Father, moving the capital to Beijing is not only the emperor's decision, but also the unfinished last wish of Emperor Taizu. After all, when Emperor Taizu was in power, he sent people to the north many times to select the location for moving the capital. If Izumi knows, I will definitely agree with Grandpa Huang’s decision!”

Finally, Zhu Zhanji took a long breath and concluded firmly.

"Uncle, I think what I said is right. Grandpa Huang went through many hardships and finally moved the capital to Beijing. We must not give up easily!"

Zhu Zhanhe also stood up and agreed.

He did not expect that Zhu Zhanji would oppose moving back to Nanjing, which was a surprise. After all, it was better for two of them to oppose it together than alone.

Facing the common objections of his son and nephew, Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting behind the desk, yawned lazily, then picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, and then said slowly: "You two are very interesting. It makes sense, but have you ever thought about my feelings?"

"Father, what do you mean by this? We oppose moving the capital out of the interests of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Zhanji asked confused at this time.

Zhu Gaochi was the emperor and represented the interests of the Ming Dynasty. If he abandoned Beijing and moved back to Nanjing, it would definitely harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

"Have you forgotten that the cold wind nearly killed me years ago? The winter here in Beijing is really too cold for me. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I will die of illness in Beijing sooner or later. You guys Do you want me to be a short-lived emperor?"

Zhu Gaochi's face darkened, and he immediately questioned Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe.

"This……"

Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that his father would choose to move the capital because of his physical condition. Is this too childish?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable. After all, the interests of the emperor and the country are consistent, so the emperor's health is also related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Gaochi used his own health as the reason for moving the capital, and others did the same. Can't fault it.

"Uncle, your health is of course important, but there is no solution!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanhe stood up again at this time.

"Oh? Zhanhe, what can you do?"

Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows and asked him with interest.

"Uncle, since you don't like the winter in Beijing, why not go to Nanjing in the winter and return to Beijing after spring. After all, both sides are the capital. Then, uncle, you can still visit places on the road. It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone!" "

Zhu Zhanhe opened his mouth and replied. He also had an idea and came up with this way to deal with it.

"No, if I follow your approach Zhan He, my eldest brother will have to go back and forth between Nanjing and Beijing once a year. Wouldn't it be too hard?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaosui, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and objected.

Obviously he supports moving back to Nanjing, and it is best never to return to Beijing again.Because this is in his interest. For example, after Zhu Gaochi moved back to Nanjing, the political center of Ming Dynasty moved southward, much further away from Japan. By then, it would be more convenient for him to do whatever he wanted to do in Japan, and he might even escape the control of Ming Dynasty at any time. , established his own business overseas.

"Third uncle, now that shipping is developed, it is very fast and convenient to take the sea route. Of course, my uncle puts safety first, so it is best to take river transportation. It just so happens that the canal no longer needs to transport grain, and the river is empty. My uncle took the boat all the way south, almost the same as There is no difference in the palace!”

Zhu Zhanhe retorted.

The river transportation is very stable. As Zhu Gaochi, he can build a dragon boat specially for him, which is almost equivalent to a moving palace. It is indeed no different from the palace.

"But there is no precedent for an emperor traveling back and forth between the two places?"

Zhu Gaosui still objected.

"Why is there no precedent?"

At this time, Zhu Zhanji also reacted and stood up immediately.

"In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, because Chang'an was too hot and had too many people, there was a shortage of food. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty often went to Luoyang to escape the summer heat, so they were divided into Xijing and Tokyo. Now our Ming Dynasty is not as good as the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Not bad, and there are Beijing and Nanjing, it will be a good story in the future!"

In fact, not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the emperors of the Liao Kingdom in history also moved around, and there were also five capitals. However, the Liao Kingdom was from the Khitan, and the emperor of the Liao Kingdom did not move between the five capitals, so it is difficult to get them. Come out and make an example.

"Makes sense!"

When Zhu Gaochi heard his son's words, he finally nodded heartily. Although it was a bit hard to travel back and forth between Beijing and Nanjing, it seemed good if it created a good story.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was moved, Zhu Zhanhe was also ecstatic. He immediately stepped up and said: "Uncle, although the winter in Nanjing is warm and humid, the summer is very difficult. In comparison, the summer in Beijing is also hot, but shorter. Much more, and it’s not as humid as Nanjing, so moving between the two places can also learn from each other’s strengths and make people more comfortable!”
