When Xu Youzhen heard Xu Shixian mention Xu Shiliang, all the smiles on her face disappeared...
"You, your brother is studying hard in his hometown. In the capital, he loves to play and rarely achieves anything..." Xu Youzhen didn't care whether Xu Shixian's little head understood it or not. Anyway, he explained it himself.
And Xu Shixian raised his head, looked at his chubby old father, and said in an innocent tone: "Dad, the child hasn't met his eldest brother yet. My mother said that she wants to take the child back to her hometown, and she is waiting for her father to come back. , told you."
Xu Youzhen frowned when he heard this, but he still explained to his good grandson, no, his youngest son, and then quickly let his servants come in and took Xu Shixian away.
Then Xu Youzhen went to find his wife, and sure enough, Mrs. Wang in the room was packing her bags with two maids.
After Xu Youzhen entered the room, she waved her hand and asked the two maids to leave.
Then, Xu Youzhen sat down, and Wang also sat on the bed. The couple fell into silence for a while.
After Xu Youzhen came back, Mrs. Wang had been making trouble with him, trying to get her son back from her hometown. Especially after Mrs. Wang saw Liu Qing'er brought back by Xu Youzhen, she became even more angry.
Who is this person? He is over 50 years old, and he still has such a great need for that kind of thing.
Of course Xu Youzhen was not willing to let Wang want Xu Shiliang to return to Beijing. There was a cold war in the past two days.
After a moment of pause, Xu Youzhen broke the calm and said:
"Madam, haven't I told you that as long as I am still alive, Xu Shiliang should not think about returning to the capital... What do you mean by asking Shixian to say this to me today?"
Xu Youzhen said it softly, but Wang was like a powder keg that exploded immediately. She stood up and said loudly: "Did my son kill someone or set a fire? He just committed the same crime as some young men." Is it your fault? What's more, you are not a gentleman..."
"Keep your voice down...keep your voice down..." Xu Youzhen stood up quickly, ran to the door, closed the door, and then turned around: "Madam, keep your voice down..." With that, she walked to Wang Wang Shi wanted to calm his wife's mood, but the more nervous Xu Youzhen became, the more furious Wang Shi became.
"You are not a gentleman, so why do you expect your son to be a gentleman? You often say, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. I see, on the contrary, the things you scholars like to do the most are things that you can't do. , we must let the children do it...",
"We are already over fifty years old, and we have reached the age where we know our destiny. What if, what if, if I die tomorrow and this child is not around, I will not die with my eyes closed... I will not die with my eyes closed, and I have decided to drag you down to see you. King of Hell, when the time comes, I will also sue you in front of King of Hell..."
What Wang said left Xu Youzhen with no words to refute. Wang must have practiced this sentence many times behind her back...
"You can go back to your hometown in Suzhou, but Shixian can't go back to you, otherwise, I'm afraid something will happen..."
"Something happens, something happens, I'm keeping an eye on it, no matter what happens, Shixian is the eldest son and grandson of our Xu family. He should go back and acknowledge his ancestors."
When Xu Youzhen heard that her eldest son had a grandson, her eyes suddenly widened a little. He said slightly nervously: "Nonsense, what about an eldest son and a grandson? How dare you say such nonsense..."
"Master, you are deliberately pretending not to understand. If you go to the ancestral temple to worship, you must worship as the eldest son and grandson. Otherwise, you will not be deceiving your father and your ancestors, but you will be unworthy of your descendants. But , you can rest assured that I will handle this matter without leakage, and no outsider will know."
After Xu Youzhen heard Wang's words, she still had no words to refute. She was right. You can't lie to your ancestors when you lie to anyone...
At the moment, Xu Youzhen could only agree with Wang to bring Xu Shixian back to Suzhou. However, after arguing with reason, he still disagreed with Xu Shiliang's return to the capital.
When the emperor returned from Nanjing, the honorable ministers, officials, and even the people below in Beijing breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that these people were worried about the emperor’s safety;
Rather, he was afraid that after his Majesty went to Nanjing and enjoyed the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, he did not like the wildness of Beijing.
If His Majesty the Emperor stays in Nanjing and does not come back, then the Ming Dynasty will naturally enter the process of moving the capital. At that time, the remaining official offices and even the imperial palace in Nanjing will all be present, and Beijing will also become the accompanying capital.
Nanjing is qualified to be the capital of the Ming Dynasty, because since the two Song Dynasties, the economic center of the entire country has shifted from the north to the south.
It was the tradition of the Zhu family emperors to vacillate between the two capitals. Emperor Renzong had just ascended the throne less than seven months ago, and when his father's bones were still cold, he issued an edict and decided to move the capital back to Nanjing again.
"The general will return the capital to Nanjing, order all the divisions in Beijing to declare his presence, and restore the headquarters in Beijing and the military governor's office after the march."
At this time, Beijing had officially become the capital only four years ago. The ministers that Zhu Di had killed in order to move the capital had to be moved back again before the grass grew on their graves.
Emperor Renzong sent officials to repair the palace in Nanjing, and also stationed the crown prince Zhu Zhanji in Nanjing to support the preparations for moving the capital...
Of course, Emperor Renzong's great cause of moving the capital was not hindered. Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and he himself told his ministers about the necessity of moving the capital.
"The north and south provide hundreds of millions of labor, and the army and the people are trapped. They look up to Nanjing in all directions. This is my sincerity."
To put it bluntly, in Beijing, a large amount of food and materials have to be transported from the south to the north to support the operation of the capital city of Beijing, but if the capital city is in Nanjing, none of this is needed.
Emperor Renzong moved the capital to Nanjing. The biggest obstacle was his physical condition. One month after Zhu Zhanji arrived in Nanjing, Emperor Renzong began to deploy heavy troops. Then the King of Han squatted in the grass to intercept and kill his eldest nephew, and Zhu Zhanji used The great movement technique brought him directly back to Beijing to take the throne.
Emperor Xuanzong's personality was more like Zhu Di's. Even though the preliminary preparations for moving the capital were almost complete, he was selectively ignored.
Now His Majesty the Emperor has returned to Beijing, and less than half a month has passed. The ministers have also returned to work one after another. There are no rumors of moving the capital in the court, and these indigenous ministers can be considered more relaxed.
After Zhu Jianshen returned to Beijing, he did not summon Wang Zhi immediately because he was troubled by his second son's matter. On this day, he received a memorial from Zhu Yi of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The memorial mentioned Cao Zhi stationed at the Ningbo Naval Port. The Jixiang Fleet only remembered Wang Zhi's incident, so they summoned Cao Jixiang and Wang Zhi who were in Beijing in the afternoon.
After Wang Zhi returned to the capital, he did not live in the palace. Instead, Gao Yi arranged to live in the Jinyiwei Yamen, just to prevent Wang Zhi from having any contact with the eldest prince while he was in the palace. Gao Yi still knows some things...
