Xia Xun lived in Lushan for a few days, and did not return to Jinling until Xiao Di was about to give birth.
At this time, Zheng He had already returned to Beijing.
Zheng He was an internal official, and his official rank was not high, so he did not need to send officials above the third rank to greet him, but he returned with envoys from many other countries, including the king of one country.
The muddy king Manaja Kananai, with the princess, the prince, the princess, and the king's brother and sister, all the family actually came, which required personnel of the same rank to greet him.
The king of a foreign country is equivalent to the county king of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming royal family sent a few idle princes in Beijing to greet them, and after they were taken to the same hall to stay, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu came to the same hall to visit and greet them.
Zheng He's voyage this time, because it was the first time, needed to explore a sea route from scratch, so it took a long time, up to two years, and the countries and regions he passed through included Champang, Java, Manraka, Sumatra, Ceylon Hill, Kochi, Guli, Siam, Nam Wooli, Kajil, Gambari, Apabatan and other countries.
When he returned, these countries sent gifts, among which Ryukyu Zhongshan, Shannan, Borneo, Aru, Sumatra, Manraka, Huni, Champong, Siam, Punggara, Nanhuli, and Little Glan sent envoys to pay tribute.
Almost at the same time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of Akamoto also sent envoys.
Now the situation is very bad: Emperor Go-Kameyama has left, and he has gone to the south to reunite with the old southern dynasty and protest against the treachery of the northern dynasty by force.
Because Mrs.
Youxizhu and Daming secretly provided him with a large amount of money, weapons, and food, the time for Houguishan to flee was earlier than in history, and the effect was much better.
Because he had ample funds, weapons, and food, he quickly recruited not only a number of old troops, but also many peasants and wandering warriors, including pirates who had little room for survival by the combined efforts of the Chinese sailors and the Yuben sailors, who also defected to him, so that he quickly organized a large-scale army.
Go-Kameyama's outstanding performance made some Southern Dynasty clans and wealthy families who originally wanted to wait and see, and they did not hesitate to join in, and clearly expressed their support for Go-Kameyama Emperor, and they formed a rather huge force, which gave Emperor Go-Komatsu a headache.
At the same time, in view of the fact that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was old and decrepit, and gradually could not control the several major princes under him, his righteous son, the great shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori, also summoned up the courage to publicly express his opinions and propositions in many aspects such as government and military affairs, and contradicted the Taisei Minister Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and took the first step towards a complete break.
In view of this situation, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu urgently needed the recognition of the Ming Dynasty and his support for the Northern Dynasty, so he sent a team of envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and asked the Ming to give him moral support, if possible, hoping that the Ming Navy could also give him some military cooperation.
This, coupled with the envoys of the Timurid State who had rushed to Jinling earlier, the envoys from various countries who had gathered in Jinling had reached nearly 20 countries, and the so-called grand occasion of all countries coming to the court was nothing more than that, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, who was increasingly unable to see through the situation in Jinling and could no longer control it, took the opportunity to write a letter to the emperor to return to Beijing.
In the current situation, it is impossible for Zhu Di to stay in Yanjing anymore, it is time for him to come back.
A pool of autumn water, sparkling.
Although it is autumn, the lotus leaves are still green, but there are fewer lotus flowers, and some lotus stems have already produced full lotus fruits.
A nine-curved small bridge winds on the water, there is a small octagonal pavilion in the middle, the doors and windows of the small pavilion are open, and the breeze and lotus fragrance pass through the pavilion, leaving a room of fragrant fragrance.
In the pavilion there is a round table with rosewood inlaid luodian, and four people wearing straight jackets and scarves sit around the table.
Not far away, there is a small tandoor in the corner of the window, there is a pot of boiling water sitting on the stove, and there is a small square table next to it, and there is a tea set on it.
The little girl's name is Xianya, and Ming'er's original little girl Qiaoyun became Xia Xun's concubine before she was selected by Ming'er to wait by her side.
When the Fuguo Mansion was completed, the emperor gave some official slaves to the Yang family, this little girl was sent to the Fuguo Mansion with her mother at that time, when she was still a few years old, she was now a few years old, and now she is more than thirteen years old, the age of cardamom tips, Ming'er chose again and again, thinking that she was smart and clever, and she grew up in the Yang family since she was a child, and she was loyal to the Yang family, so she was selected as a personal girl.
Xianya's mind is very delicate, she remembers that she has poured five rounds of tea, and the tea in the old man's cup is always that cup, the first round of tea is still full, and the old man has not moved a mouthful.
"Master must be in a bad mood today" Xianya secretly thought, becoming more and more cautious, the movements of her hands and feet were gentle, and she didn't dare to make a sound.
Xia Xun, who was sitting at the table, did not seem to be unhappy on the surface, he always had a hint of a smile on his face, after returning from Lushan, it seemed that he had figured out something, or put down something, his heart was no longer so heavy, and his expression was calm and had a feeling of being out of the dust.
It is very calm, there is neither great joy nor great sorrow.
But when Zheng He, who was still mundane, got up to say goodbye, Xia Xun's face sank.
At this time, there were three people left in the pavilion: Xia Xun, Xie Jin, and Huang Zhen.
The sun has been slanting to the west, the sun enters through the pavilion, reflected on Xia Xun's back, although it is not late autumn at this time, the power of the sun has been greatly reduced, the breeze is coming, a shade, this bit of sunshine is not sad, but Xia Xun's face is ugly.
It was Huang Zhen who was talking, he didn't know why Xia Xun's face suddenly sank, thinking that what he said was wrong, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and his voice was empty: "There is a lot of talk in the court about moving the capital, even if Gonggong Zheng returned from Nanyang and a large number of foreign envoys accompanied him, such a lively thing has not been able to divert everyone's attention, and we are all in the court."
Xia Xun said with a calm face: "Don't move, isn't it telling you to stand still?"
Huang Zhen said: "Yes, yes, the lower officials naturally follow the instructions of the national prince."
However, the proposal to move the capital concerns everyone, this matter has nothing to do with factions, the ministers of the DPRK and China have never been so united, all of them are writing against it, even if they have been fighting all their lives, they are also interested in this time. including the Cabinet and the Interior" He glanced at Xia Xun and lowered his voice and said: "King Zhao is in Yanjing, if the capital is moved, so even the prince's people and the people of the Han King are now in unison against moving the capital, Guogong, don't we really need to express anything?"
Xia Xun said coldly: "From the prince, I also expressed my opinion, and the prince also agreed with me.
Some ministers may oppose the relocation of the capital because of their hearts towards the prince, but this is not the prince's order.
The matter of moving the capital has nothing to do with anyone, and it is about anyone, everyone does their own thing, and no one stops it, because no one can see through what the emperor wants to do in this move, if you want to express your opinion, it is up to you, but I advise you not to act rashly."
"Yes, yes, yes" "Guogong, be too careful" Huang Zhen hurriedly agreed, but Xie Jin interjected disapprovingly.
"Oh" Xia Xun turned his head expressionlessly and looked at him coldly.
Xianya stood aside, saw Xia Xun's expression clearly, couldn't help pursing her lips, and said in her heart: "It turns out that the old man is angry at this old man." ” The little girl Xianya saw why Xia Xun was displeased, but Xie Jin, the world's first talent, didn't see it, Xie Jin smiled and said: "Guogong is wise, almost suspicious, how can this matter be so complicated, the emperor favors Yanjing, it is not a long time ago, it is the place where the emperor is prosperous, and it is the place where the emperor has been guarding since he was young.
But the emperor is the king of a country, how can he act according to his own likes and dislikes, Xie Mou's return to Beijing this time coincided with his meeting, and he should express his opinion, and he has already opposed this matter."
Xia Xun's face darkened, Xie Jin didn't notice it at all, and proudly played it off, and said: "Xie only said four things when he went to the book.
First, after the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Yanjing was seriously destroyed, and the population was extremely scarce.
Second, the imperial court moved north, and it was difficult to provide food.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In the thirtieth year of Hongwu, the grain sent to the north was only 150,000 stones.
In the sixth year of Yongle, because of the continuous migration of people to Yanjing and the increase of garrisons, the supply of grain increased to 650,000 stones.
Last year, 500,000 stone of grain was transported to Yanjing by canal, and 700,000 stone of grain was transported by sea.
If the imperial court really moves north, then the annual grain to Yanjing will need at least five million stones, can we afford it?
The third is the consideration of safety, Yanjing is too close to Beidi, this is the most worrying place for the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it is also the place where the most discussions, its shortcomings can be seen at a glance, and the ministers of civil and military affairs have already stated a lot, I will not repeat it.
Fourth, it is a very noisy feng shui.
It's really ridiculous, Jinling dragon is entrenched, the wall of Ziwei is released, it can be the capital, no more than Jinling, what is there to argue about this solution is to be seriously deduced by the Hetu Luoshu, the Hetuluo book is the source of the five elements of yin and yang, with its unity of heaven and man and metaphor for all things in life, it should not be fulfilled" Xia Xun said with a smile: "The gentry is worthy of being the first talent in the world, Wen Tao is strategic, unparalleled in the world, and he actually knows yin and yang and understands gossip, is proficient in Zhou Yi Shushu, and learns to avoid evil." ” Xie Jin's EQ was really a little worse, and he didn't hear Xia Xun's teasing tone, and said with a smug smile: "Guogong has won the award, and he has won the award."
"Bang" Xia Xun couldn't bear it, and slapped it on the case, which made Xie Jin stunned, and Huang Zhen was also startled.
"Xianya" Xia Xun called in a deep voice, and Xianya hurriedly squatted down and saluted: "The maid is here" Xia Xun said: "You go down, you don't need to wait here." ” "Yes" Xianya obediently agreed, turned around and lifted her skirt, stepped out of the pavilion, and quietly stuck out her tongue.
As soon as Xianya left, Xia Xun stood up and said angrily: "I think I am smart."
Xie Jin eats and eats authentically: "Guogong" Xia Xun pointed to his nose and scolded: "If you really know Zhou Yi gossip, calculate it for yourself first, if you really know how to avoid evil, you will just leave Beijing, you have to go back to Beijing, the royal car is not in the capital, and you actually visit the prince, don't you also know such a taboo, and you don't know who you have discussed with the book?"
