When the rain arrives in the depths of autumn, it is easy to make rain, and it is difficult for Xiao Xiao to be at this time.
The autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River would only give people a lingering feeling, and it is not easy to make people feel sad, but the rain in late autumn still exudes a sense of desolation.
A white horse, the man on the horse did not have an umbrella, nor did he wear a robe, and he did not even hold the reins, so he loosened the reins, rode the horse, and roamed the horses in the silky rain.
The horse is an old horse who knows the way, and he tramples lightly along the four hooves of the royal road, and it has to be straight, splashing all the way like a lotus.
The people on the horse are dressed in brocade fish clothes, their eyes are like Lang Xing, their eyebrows are like ink paintings, they are handsome, and they are not like words, plus a little water droplets on their faces, which gives people an indescribable sense of charm.
This person is Liu Yujue, who has just returned to Beijing after returning to his hometown in Jinan.
The newlywed Yan'er is always reluctant to separate, but for Liu Yujue, as soon as he returns to Nanjing, he feels relaxed and happy, and even this somewhat cold autumn rain can't wash away the excitement and joy in his heart.
Perhaps, it's just because his thoughts are never in Jinan, not on the talented, good-looking, virtuous and docile wife that his father married him.
Before the season of snowfall, the rain was sprinkled, like the snow of thought, fluttering like a snow horse to the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Yujue stood still.
He originally wanted to report to the Jinyi Guard's Yamen, but suddenly saw a strange scene in the distance, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
This is a scene he has never seen before, perhaps from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, it is the first time.
The Jinyi Guard Yamen is not far from the noon gate, from him, sitting on the horse, you can clearly see everything outside the noon gate, there is a black pressure kneeling, from the color of the clothes, all are officials, a lot of officials Liu Yujue dismounted, tied the horse on the horse stake, the four brocade guards at the door greeted him: "Liu Zhenfu, you are back" "Congratulations to Liu Zhenfu Xiao Dengke, hahaha" Liu Yujue waved his hand, stepped up the steps, pointed to the direction of the noon gate, and said, "What happened there?"
One of the guards turned his head and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, my lord asked this, this is not about our Jinyi Guard, the emperor and his subordinates discussed the relocation of the capital, and the hundred officials discussed it for a long time and did not see the result, the emperor was annoyed, and asked them to kneel in front of the noon gate to discuss it again, saying that they would not discuss a result, and they would discuss it every day in the future." ” Liu Yujue was even more surprised, and was about to ask clearly, Ji Gang hurriedly walked out of the yamen with a little yellow door wearing a eunuch uniform in the palace, and when he saw Liu Yujue, Ji Gang's feet couldn't help but slow down: "Yujue, you're back" When Liu Yujue saw that it was him, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, the lowly vacation is over, go back to the ya."
Are you going out?"
Ji Gang saw that he always kept his distance from him, and he didn't like it in his heart, but this was not the time to speak, so he said: "Oh, the emperor has an urgent summons, I will go to the palace with this Gonggong Xu, and we will talk about it when we come back." ” Liu Yujue bowed and said: "Adults walk slowly" Ji Gang nodded, and hurried with the little eunuch.
Liu Yujue swept the wet rain on his shoulders with a horsewhip, resumed the topic, and asked the guard at the door: "You just said, what's going on outside the noon gate, a hundred officials are discussing."
In front of the noon gate, a piece of square-shaped bluestone slabs, the ground is very flat, but the land of Jinling is soft, the palace is very careful in the construction, the ground does not know how many times it has been tamped, and it cannot be ensured that it is not out of shape, the harem of the palace has collapsed because of the ground, some palace walls have some cracks, and the building has been deformed.
The square in front of the noon gate is also slightly undulating, so this autumn rain, some slightly sunken places have accumulated a pool of rain.
Even if there is no place where the rain is stored, kneel there and land on the ground, and your knees are always on the cold stone slab, the rain is still falling, and the civil and military officials are already soaked, one by one, like a chicken in soup, so not embarrassed.
Around the noon gate, there were many guards of the brocade guards who were roaming and patrolling to prevent the officials from losing the civil fight, and their anger was extremely corrupt, and they had another all-military march with the other party, losing the prestige of the imperial court.
The officials knelt outside the noon gate in turn, according to the size of each yamen and official position, and debated with each other hoarsely.
"The north is constantly suffering, it has been a disease of my confidants in the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is not dangerous to build the capital and the Son of Heaven to guard the border" "It is precisely because the northern captives have been the heart of my Central Plains since ancient times, so we should be close to the Han and Tang Dynasty capital Chang'an, the Song capital Bianliang, but once on the border trouble and not the death of the national capital of the capital, the north is its root place, and there is no worries, has not died in the country near the border of Yanjing, I think that it is difficult to build the capital in the other country for a long time, is it not ridiculous to win the solid foundation, whether it is long in the country that Germany is not in danger, it still depends on its own ability, why bother to rely on geography."
"Fallacy, fallacy and fallacy Yanjing is not only close to the north, but also the East China Sea is close at hand, if there is a Kou from the sea, the first to bear the brunt is the capital, the first war is lost, and the country is about to die" "It's ridiculous and ridiculous that if you are by the sea, you will lose the country in the east of Fusang, the land of projectiles, where do you call it to move the capital to, and its country is not near the sea According to what you said, wouldn't it have been long ago to die Yuan people fled to the depths of the desert, not to say far, they can't catch up, it's not that Yanjing is near the sea, and there are Shandong, Liaodong left and right to protect the country, if this can make people drive their parents straight into the capital and kill the capital, no matter how far you escape, it will only be a lingering breath, and you will suffer a few more humiliations of defeat" "Absurd, who said that the Han and Tang dynasties built the capital of Chang'an, in order to prevent the northern border from suffering from the disease of the heart of the Central Plains at that time, in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu, Turkic, Tufan, Hui, all not in the Western Regions, at that time there was no strong enemy in the north, the Tang Dynasty built the capital of Chang'an, it was to suppress the nearest deterrence, in order to overcome the strong domain" "Hahahaha, this is what you said yourself, since this is the case, my Yongle Emperor wants to build the capital Yanjing, in order to conquer the north, but is it the same as the Han and Tang Dynasties to advocate that the heart disease of the Central Plains was in the Western Regions at that time, and the heart disease of the Central Plains was in the north at this time" "You, you, you just said that my Central Plains heart has always been in the north" "Wow, wow, I said it, but I didn't say when it started, I mean, since the five dynasties, the Khitan was established, and the north replaced the Western Regions and became the heart of the Central Plains."
The rain was still falling, and the officials were too lazy to wring the water on their official robes, and only wiped a handful of the rain on their faces and argued.
Liu Yujue rushed to the noon gate and saw this scene in his eyes, only stunned.
He hurriedly searched carefully in the crowd, but did not find Xia Xun's figure, not even many members of the cabinet and the six ministries, so his heart was slightly relaxed: "Brother Yang is not here, it seems that the emperor is still a little measured, if those princes and ministers are all kneeling here like chickens to discuss matters, it is really a bit unorthodox." ” On the upper floor of the Wumen City, Zhu Di was well-crowned and in a dragon robe, sitting under the cover of the Huangluo umbrella, looking down unashamedly, the expression on his face was faint, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked with a touch of ridicule.
At this time, Ji Gang, who had entered the palace, hurriedly caught up, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Di, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the edict is here."
Zhu Di gently wiped the beard under his chin, and said lightly: "I have sealed all the things you have sealed, but they have all been put away."
Ji Gang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The minister has received it very properly, although the emperor can rest assured" Zhu Di smiled faintly and said, "You go back in a while, and transfer all the things I ordered you to seal to Zhu Yong." ” Ji Gang was stunned again: "Cheng Guogong" "Not bad" The rain was still falling, and Ji Gang was still half-kneeling on the ground, raising his head and looking at Emperor Yongle blankly.
The two of them were close at hand, and the silky drizzle could not form a rain curtain at such a close distance, but when Ji Gang looked up at the face of Emperor Yongle, he had a vague feeling, he clearly saw Zhu Di's appearance clearly, and he could even count the beards under his chin one by one, but he didn't seem to see it clearly at all.
Back then, Zhu Di was just a dead man with a lot of grievances, an outlaw with the determination to make a lot of money if he succeeds and dies if he loses, and he led the horse and fell into the stirrups for Zhu Di at that time.
He is familiar with Zhu Di's surname, and he knows Zhu Di's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but now he has a feeling that he can't see through.
Zhu Di didn't look at him, but asked lightly: "What's the problem?"
"Ahh Ji Gang hurriedly lowered his head, forcibly restrained his shock and panic, and said in a low voice: "The minister understands" Zhu Di said "um" and said, "Ming, the riders are fully prepared for me."
Ji Gang changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, and bowed his head deeply in the puddle: "The minister obeys the order" Zhu Di took a cup of hot tea from Mu Si's hand, took a sip, and leisurely looked at the ministers who were kneeling outside the noon gate, chattering in the rain, suddenly smiled, pointed at them, and asked Ji Gang: "The ministers are discussing the matter of moving the capital, do you think they oppose the relocation of the capital, is it reasonable?"
"Ugh" Ji Gang suddenly lost his usual feeling of being arrogant in front of Zhu Di, and looking at Zhu Di looking down from the city tower, as if looking down on all beings, Ji Gang suddenly rose in awe.
He replied cautiously: "The minister is only in charge of the Jinyi Guard, for the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and this matter of government affairs is really not the duty of the minister."
Since the emperor asked, the minister should have played right, but the minister really didn't know anything about this way, no matter where the emperor went, the minister just followed the emperor's tail. ” Zhu Di smiled, slowly stood up, stretched his hand outward, Mu Si immediately greeted him, and took the cup with both hands.
Zhu Di casually went to the next stop under the umbrella cover of Huangluo, stretched out his hand and pointed at the hundreds of officials under the city, like a dragon soaring in the air, overlooking the ants, and said proudly: "Among them, some people have dirty hearts, but they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and ask for their lives for the people; Some people are obviously stupid, but they think that they can understand better than anyone hahahaha, moving the capital to Beiping, I have thought about it carefully and planned for a long time.
Is the foolishness of these fools enough to be heroic?"
Zhu Di rolled up his sleeves, shook them again and again, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go back to the palace" To be continued:
