Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 5
It was getting late, the farmhouse in the backyard of Wu Wangfu was lit up, and the sound of frogs croaked from the stream.

Zhu Yuanzhang was lying sideways on the bamboo chair, his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up, and he was flipping through the books in his hand.

The noodles on the table were already cold, so Ma Shi was busy in the heat of the room without using any chopsticks, and a few young maids beside him helped.

Zhu Biao stood not far away. He felt that it was necessary for him to meddle in the establishment of the capital.

He will also be the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty in the future.

The most important thing is that he cleaned up the mess at the end of Ming Dynasty.

He wanted to take a hot bath tonight, so he asked Jin'er and Sanbao to prepare it, and took Yu'er out for a walk.

Just as he was about to pass, Yu'er stopped him with a faint smile and helped him tidy up his clothes before stepping aside.

Zhu Yuanzhang's ears were very sharp, and before Zhu Biao could speak, he dropped the book and turned to look at the visitor.

"Biao'er." He reached out to grab the mosquitoes on his arm, and grabbed the mosquitoes' legs one by one: "Talk to us."

"it is good."

On Zhongshan today, what Zhu Biao said made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy. The more powerful his son is, the happier he is.

In the past, the poor had no property and family business for his son to inherit. Now that he has it, he is about to build a country of thousands of miles. All the people in this world are his, and he needs someone to inherit it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang patted the stool next to him and said to Zhu Biao, "Come, sit here."

Seeing that the father and son were about to whisper, Yu'er poured tea for the two, chilled it in the stream, put it on the table, and then went to the house to help Queen Ma with her work.

Zhu Yuanzhang touched Zhu Biao's head and said with emotion: "I'm so tall that I'm almost as tall as us. When I was your age, I ran around and didn't think about anything every day. I just thought about how to eat to fill my stomach."

I came tonight to persuade Lao Zhu to set the capital in Yingtian, and now I have to make my father happy, so that he can talk about other things.

Zhu Biao nodded, took the words and said reverently: "Now that grandpa sees my father's achievements, he will be happy for him."

"So, we think that the capital city should be built in Haozhou." Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and said, "Even if we become emperor a few years later, we can wait, Biaoer, what do you say."

Although Li Shanchang and Huaixi Xungui both hoped to build the capital into Haozhou, so that the big guys can return to their hometown with glory and glory, and the scenery is infinite.

But Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to hear what Zhu Biao meant. His son was 13 years old now, and in two years, he had to choose a good marriage for him.

To put it bluntly, in the future, this country is actually the family business that he laid down for Zhu Biao.

Among the several sons who asked him, Zhu Biao was his favorite, so he also wanted to hear about the establishment of the capital.

In his previous life, he was used to making decisions by himself, but now that he had to discuss with Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao always felt that he couldn't use his fists.

Now that Lao Zhu is asking himself, he should boldly talk about his own thoughts: "If things drag on for a long time, there will be changes, so father should do what mother said today, proclaim emperor as soon as possible, and the capital should be in Yingtian."

"Our Huaixi brothers are all waiting for the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. Proclaiming Emperor must be necessary."

"Which brothers? Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong and the others?" Mrs. Ma stood behind the two of them at some point.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said in a low voice: "Sister, the inner court is not allowed to interfere in politics in the future, this is our rule."

Mrs. Ma ignored it, but looked at Zhu Biao hopefully, hoping that their son could persuade him.

"Looking at the world, all places suitable for capital cities include Chang'an, Luoyang, and Bianjing, which were established by Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei, Tang, and Song dynasties.

But when we calmed down, the flames of war had exhausted people and money, and these places did not recover.

Dadu has not been completely conquered yet, even if it is conquered, there will be tens of thousands of palaces and houses, and more manpower and material resources will be spent on renovation and replacement. The materials and money needed will have to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River, which is a waste of money and costly. "

Zhu Biao was also afraid that he might be different from his original body, and would be suspected by Lao Zhu and Ma Shi.

After hearing Zhu Biao's analysis, Lao Zhu was stunned. His son's words these few times surprised him.

This is a good thing, having the talent to govern the country.

"Biao'er, keep talking."

Old Zhu laughed out loud. After all, he was also born in poverty, and the hope of his ancestors was his son.

"Father, on Zhongshan Mountain, my son has already said that the front of the river and the back of the Huaihe River are safe to rely on, and water to feed. Haozhou is flat and safe, and there is no condition for establishing a capital at all."

Old Zhu wondered if his mother-in-law Ma Dazuo did it again, so he turned his head and looked at Mrs. Ma: "Sister, warm up the noodles for us."

The main purpose of building a capital by yourself is to maintain the long-term rule of yourself and your descendants.This child has been trained in many ways since he was a child, and he has high hopes.

The delay is due to the hope that Zhu Biao can establish his favorite capital by himself. Since he says Yingtian is good now, he can just follow his son's ideas.

"Father, change Yingtian to Nanjing."

"Nanjing? Why?"

"There is a cloud in ancient times, the beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor state of Jinling, the capital in the south, and the Yuan court used Jinling as the name, and my son thought that Yingtian could be called Nanjing*jing.

Not only is it the only ancient capital among the ancient capitals that has not been the capital of a foreign regime, it was enthroned here.It's close to my hometown.In the future, when the national strength is stable and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, they can follow Yingtian's regulations to build a central capital in Haozhou. "

Zhu Biao said this because he considered that Haozhou was Lao Zhu's hometown, and it was also the hometown of many Huaixi heroes.

He thought about changing the name. Geographically, Yingtian should be greater than Jinling. In terms of time, Jinling is farther than Yingtian. There is a difference between the north and the south of the Yangtze River.

In terms of time, before the Northern Song Dynasty, it was collectively called Jinling, and it was also called Jiankang, Shangyuan, Baixia, Jiangning, and after the Northern Song Dynasty, it was also called Jiqing and Jiangning.

So I plan to abide by the title of later generations, and I don't want to be the same as other dynasties.

Jianzhong has treated these heroes preferentially in this way, and it can also allow them to be more active in making contributions to their grand plans and great achievements. Why not do it.

Lao Zhu didn't expect his son to become more and more courageous. Not only did he analyze the suitable places to build the capital, he even changed his name, which made him very satisfied.

What could be more gratifying than the success of one's own son.

"As expected of my old Zhu's son, we will follow your orders and build the capital in Nanjing." Old Zhu circled around Zhu Biao.

Mrs. Ma didn't expect that Chong Ba, a stubborn donkey, would be persuaded by his son with a few words about the matter that he had worn out his mouth and couldn't solve it.

I have to lament the power of the father-son relationship.

The next day, Lao Zhu called Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and Hu Weiyong, announced the establishment of Yingtian as the capital, and told them that Yingtian was going to be changed to Nanjing.

Liu Bowen has always supported the establishment of the capital Yingtian, and they have no objection to changing the name.

Li Shanchang squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Bowen meaningfully, said congratulations to Mr. Liu, and left with Hu Weiyong.

Now that the superiors have made the decision, their subordinates will follow suit, and Haozhou will also be built as the capital of China, so whatever you say is appropriate.

Old Zhu naturally knew something about the struggle between the two.

It's just that the capital has been settled, and the current thing is to prepare for the day of enthronement, and there is no time to deal with them.

Zhu Biao feels that many places have just experienced wars, and the people need to take a break. The most important thing at present is to respond to the sky, and when everything is stable, new plans are being made.

Both the north and the south have their own advantages, and both are indispensable, and both must develop their advantages.

In the last years of Chongzhen, what I heard most from the people was the phrase, "I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times."

Some strategies have to wait for most of them to attack and the world is stable before they can continue to transform. Thinking too much now will cause trouble.
