Jiefu.
Cabinet minister Xie Jin overworked and suffered from abdominal disease, so he had to stay at home. Ru Yu and Yu Xin looked at Jie Jin lying in pain on the bed and couldn't help frowning. This disease came at the right time, right?
Yu Zhen, an imperial physician and vice-president of the medical school, was entrusted by Zhu Yunwen to go to Jie's Mansion to check the pulse. Yu Zhen scratched his beard and felt for a long time, looked at Jie Jin's eyes that were almost crying with pain, and shook his head repeatedly.
When Chen Di saw Yu Zhen shaking his head, he cried to Jie Jin: "Master, why can't you be good at such a young age..."
Xie Jin couldn't wait to get up and greet Chen Di's family.
Yu Zhen stood up and bowed to Ru Yu and others: "The cold and heat alternate, and the stagnation is in the abdomen. It needs to be induced with medicine and slowly warmed up. I'm afraid it will take some time to recover."
Ru Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, arranged for someone to take medicine with Yu Zhen, then pulled up the mournful Chen Di, and said to Jie Jin, who had a painful face, "Don't worry, take good care of yourself."
Jie Jin endured the pain, sweat dripping down his forehead: "Then I'll leave it to you to handle the cabinet affairs. Don't dare to be careless. We will and will oppose..."
fainted.
You should say what you object to. Is it appropriate to faint without saying the remaining two words?
Ru Yu, Yu Xin, and Chen Di walked out of Jie Mansion. The three of them looked at each other, and they all understood each other tacitly. Chen Di even directly exposed Xie Jin's tricks: "It's useless to be a minister by asking for illness to avoid disaster!"
Ru Yu frowned slightly: "He was sweating profusely in pain, it doesn't look like he was pretending."
Yu Xin and Chen Di rolled their eyes at Ru Yu. You were wearing thick clothes and covered with a thick quilt. You were still rolling back and forth on the bed. You were also sweating profusely...
Yu Xin sighed: "No matter what, he was removed from the turmoil. What should we do? The emperor asked us to approve the memorial against moving the capital. How should we approve it?"
Chen Di and Ru Yu looked a little solemn. They stood together with the officials and opposed the relocation of the capital. This was the unanimous position of the cabinet. However, it was everyone's basic bottom line not to anger Zhu Yunwen and to retain their official positions.
Zhu Yunwen proposed to move the capital. In the cold wind blowing on the city wall of Beiping, Rujun's heart felt heavy when thinking of this scene. It seemed that Zhu Yunwen had anticipated the trend of moving the capital and chose to stand in the wind.
"In any case, it is an indisputable fact that moving the capital is a waste of money and people, and a huge cost to the country. We should work with all officials to clearly oppose the move of the capital."
Chen Di said seriously.
Ru Yun and Yu Xin nodded slightly, but the question is, how to deal with the memorial?
The problem is there and needs to be solved.
Zhu Yunwen did not wait long. The results of the cabinet's processing were sent to Wuying Palace. All the memorials opposing the move of the capital were sent back intact without approval. In addition, a copy of the three pavilions of Chen Di, Ru Yu and Yu Xin was also attached. The ministers’ joint memorial:
"I hope your majesty will listen to the voice of my ministers, take pity on the people of the country, don't bother the world, and be careful..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the memorial, sneered, and ignored it.
In the next ten days, Zhu Yunwen excused himself from illness and did not go to court, and Prince Zhu Wenkui did not go to Fengtian Palace. The ministers had troubles and could only vent their worries through memorials, because Zhu Yunwen's "cold treatment" of the memorial against the move of the capital aroused the "censorship" of the ministers. "Hot discussion", many people actually met at home after "getting off work" and found a yard to write a memorial against the relocation of the capital together to see who could write faster and better.
The opposition to moving the capital is getting bigger and bigger, and the news is gradually spreading from the court to the people. Although the people in the capital are a little shocked by the news of the capital move, they are far less panicked than the court officials. Most people only use it as conversation material.
The farmers in and around Jinling don't mind. Those who should farm are still farming. They won't stop farming just because Zhu Yunwen moved, nor will their crops stop growing because the capital is moved. Why worry about that? ?
Small merchants and hawkers don't care. Anyway, their goods can't be sold to the palace. Most of the people who buy their buns, meat, and vegetables are from the capital. After the capital is moved, the people of Nanjing also need to eat, and it has nothing to do with them. big.
When the craftsmen heard the news that the imperial court wanted to move the capital, they just waved their hands. Those who should be working on the iron were working on the iron, those who should be working on the stoves were working on the stoves, those who were engraving were engraving, and those who were doing construction were doing construction. They didn't care.
Farmers, small businessmen, craftsmen, craftsmen, etc., these talents are the main body of the capital's families. Scholars, wealthy gentry, and bureaucrats are just the "upper class" of the capital's families, and their numbers and proportions are far inferior. Ordinary people.
The main body did not object, but the scholars, wealthy gentry, and bureaucrats had to oppose the relocation of the capital.
Most of the scholars in the Jianwen Dynasty were from the south, including the Imperial College students. The proportion of southern students was more than 60%. If the capital was really moved to Peiping, it would take nearly a month to return home to those who originally could return to their hometown in five or six days. ?
This still has the convenience of the canal. If it happens to be winter when I go home, the canal in the north is frozen and there is no way to go by boat. I have to walk more than a thousand miles by land first. This time, there will be no more than one person on the way home. The moon can’t go back.
The rich gentry opposed it because moving the capital directly affected their interests. They all set up many industries in Nanjing, and most of these industries served the scholars and bureaucrats. Once the capital was moved, the scholars and bureaucrats would move away, and their business would be ruined. What else to do?
The bureaucrats objected because everyone relied on blood-sucking and parasitism in Jinling City, and finally formed a dense network of interests. Businessmen were attached, officials and businessmen were married, and power and money were traded. When there was something to do, you talked and asked me to do things. Both of us felt comfortable.
If the capital is to be moved, how many interests will be severed? Without these interests, if you want to marry more wives and buy more jewelry, you can only take the path of corruption.
But now that corruption is strictly controlled, there are really only a few people who can control the whole situation of Jizhou magistrate and be full of corruption. If they are reported by the censor, if they are discovered by the security bureau, if they are reported by their colleagues...
Besides, everyone in Nanjing has already formed a comfort zone. They know where to eat, where to have fun, where the flowers bloom the most, and where the wine is the most fragrant. When you move the capital, everyone needs to jump out of their comfort zone. It's so uncomfortable to go out and enter a completely unfamiliar environment.
Due to various interests, the bureaucrats strongly opposed Zhu Yunwen's idea of moving the capital, and the opposition filled the court. However, even among this opposition, some people maintained a high degree of sobriety and rationality.
East Palace, Zhan Shifu.
Because the prince Zhu Wenkui was left in the harem by Zhu Yunwen, Zhan Shifu seemed to be much more leisurely. Young Zhan Shi had nothing to do. Yao Guangxiao was planning to pray with beads in the harem. As soon as he sat on the futon, he received a tea party invitation from Yang Rong and others. .
Changting, drunk in spring.
Yang Rong, Hu Xi, Yang Pu, and Jin Youzi saluted Yao Guangxiao as he approached and took their seats one by one.
Yao Guangxiao had a kind face and smiled as he watched Yang Rong wash and distribute the tea. He picked up the tea cup and smelled the aroma. He couldn't help but ask: "Is this the spring tea from Jianning, Fujian?"
Yang Rong nodded and praised: "Master is indeed very knowledgeable."
Hu Xi joked on the side: "We saved this tea, but we don't dare to tell anyone."
Yao Guangxiao and others laughed.
Yao Guangxiao knew the origin of tea. As tribute tea, it was difficult for ordinary officials to drink it. But this year, because of Zhu Yunwen's northern tour, the Prince of the East Palace was responsible for many matters. Naturally, it was inevitable that he would need to give some tribute tea, and he would be rewarded with a pound. When you go to the warehouse to collect tea leaves, you will often be given more tea leaves, and the extra portion will be intercepted.
A few people laughed and talked, and Yang Pu suddenly changed the topic: "Not long ago, someone from the cabinet sent a message saying that the emperor will come to court tomorrow. Master, do you think we need to go to court?"
Although Yao Guangxiao, Yang Pu and others are from Zhan Shifu and are responsible for the prince's affairs, they also hold other positions. For example, Yao Guangxiao is also the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yang Rong is also the chief of the Ministry of War, and Hu Xi also serves as the propaganda secretary. When the time comes, I will naturally go to court. If nothing happens, I don't have to go to court. It's not like the six ministers and other important ministers who have to stand around no matter what.
Yao Guangxiao took a deep look at Yang Pu. Although his words were simple, the problems hidden behind them were not simple. People inside and outside the court were discussing the move of the capital, and the opposition naturally reached the ears of Zhan Shifu officials. The emperor will come tomorrow In the court, there will be a lot of excitement and quarrels in the court. Logically speaking, it would be a shame not to go and see such a lively scene.
But the problem is that Zhu Yunwen has sharp eyes. Even if he is standing behind the courtiers, he may be discovered by Zhu Yunwen. If Zhu Yunwen calls his name and asks: "Yao Guangxiao, how did you see the move of the capital..."
At that time, no matter whether Yao Guangxiao agrees or opposes moving the capital, there will be trouble. This is a trap, a big trap.
"This matter is difficult to handle."
Yao Guangxiao was very hesitant.
Yang Rong, Yang Pu and others are also in a dilemma. Zhu Yunwen has returned from his northern tour for more than half a year and is going to court for the first time. No matter what the considerations are, everyone should go to the court, even if it is just to take a look at Zhu Yunwen, show his face and express his feelings. We care about the Emperor. But now there is a big pit in the court hall. If you go there, you will face the risk of jumping into it...
Jin Youzi tasted the tea soup, which seemed a little bitter. He frowned and said, "The emperor is coming to court. We haven't seen him for a long time. There is nothing wrong in the palace. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for us not to go to court."
Yang Rong glanced at Jin Youzi and agreed: "I think about it the same way."
Yao Guangxiao flipped his Buddha beads and sighed: "It's easy to go to court, but it's hard to avoid the storm."
Yang Rong's face became serious: "Whether it's a headwind or a tailwind, it depends on us!"
"you mean?"
Yao Guangxiao restrained his smile.
Yang Rong picked up the tea cup, drank it down like a drink, and said passionately: "Is moving the capital beneficial to the country and the people, or is it a move that harms the country? We must have a clear idea in our own hearts. If it is beneficial to the country, we should share the worries and do our best for the king. Support! If it is harmful to the people, we should not avoid life and death, and be proud!"
Yao Guangxiao, Hu Hui, Yang Pu and others looked at Yang Rong deeply. This man has extraordinary courage!
"good!"
Yao Guangxiao and others applauded.
Hu Hui was also excited by Yang Rong's words, and immediately said: "In that case, I won't shy away from it. I agree with the move of the capital!"
