In the second year of Longce, in April.
After the beginning of spring in April, the weather in Jiangdong at this time is full of warm spring breezes.
At this time, the originally peaceful Jinling City suddenly made waves again, and in just a few days, it was completely surrounded by stormy rumors, and among the streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses, groups of threes and threes, were discussing one thing.
"There has been a big incident in the imperial court recently, have you heard of it?"
"What a big deal?"
"Let's just say that you don't know, I'll tell you about it, last month's Yushitai inspection team checked the accounts in the household department, and the results found a problem" "That's a big deal."
"What's the problem" "Some people say that there were several huge silver dollars in some accounts of the household department the year before last and last year, and now they have been found out by the Imperial Historical Observatory."
"Really" "Is this another corruption?"
"These corrupt officials are really not afraid of death, this time I am afraid that Your Majesty will be angry and will be full of people again."
"You may have guessed wrong at this moment, this thing is not greed" "It's not corruption, that's why" "Haha, I just know about this matter, let me tell you, I heard a cousin on duty in the household department say that these silver dollars have been allocated to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry has invested more than 80 million silver dollars in the construction of Chang'an City."
"How is that possible?"
"A mere Chang'an City, even if it is repaired, it is impossible to spend so much money, there must be someone who is greedy" "Aren't these corrupt officials afraid of His Majesty's butcher's knife?"
"If there were corrupt officials who were greedy for ink in it, they would have been found out by the Yushitai a long time ago, and you would be a vegetarian when you were a human."
"How could it cost so much money?"
"You people are just small and strange, the Ministry of Household allocated to the Ministry of Industry is less than one-third of the construction of Chang'an City, I traveled to the Western Regions last year, and Yongluo merchants on the same road, but I heard that the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion to build Chang'an City, build Weiyang Palace City, to these Yongluo merchants to raise 150 million silver dollars" "How is this possible, even if the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion does this, the merchants in Yongluo may not buy it, and the merchants in Yongluo have a lot of money, so it is impossible to support the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion so much, and their money is not blown by the wind" "As soon as I heard you say this, I know that you are not a businessman, merchants have always paid attention to investment, to make money, the twelve chambers of commerce in the land of Yongluo are the essence of the entire business community in the north, in recent years, because of the rise of the Silk Road, the merchants in the land of Yongluo are much richer than us, if they think that investing in Chang'an City can bring benefits, only 150 million silver dollars, they will definitely be able to raise it" "Chang'an City is just a ruined capital of the former dynasty, what is there to invest in?"
"If Chang'an City becomes the capital of our Great Wu Imperial Court, if you think about it, the money invested by these merchants will be rewarded to them several times in the future, just because the imperial court has a little gratitude to them, and adjusts the policy to them, with the opening of the Silk Road, it will be enough for them to earn back."
"Miyakuzhiro" "Will Chang'an City become our Great Wu Capital?"
"Impossible, the capital of Dawu is Jinling" "Above the imperial court, the news of the relocation of the capital has already been revealed, and this time the household audit has confirmed this, otherwise why do you think the Ministry of Industry has invested so much manpower and material resources in Chang'an City" "I've heard the news too" "And in the past two years, Chang'an City has indeed changed a lot, and people who go west to the west as long as they pass by Chang'an City will find that no matter the scale or the magnificence, Jinling City has not been suppressed."
"Is this news true?"
"From this point of view, I'm afraid that the matter of moving the capital is already eight or nine." “” This storm of public opinion has become more and more violent under the manipulation of people with intentions, and many people have begun to pay attention to this matter deliberately.
Forbidden Palace, Cabinet.
Shoufu main hall.
The spacious hall is the place where the first assistant of the cabinet is located, and Zhu Zhi, who is wearing the official robe of the first assistant of the cabinet, sits on the chair of the first assistant, looking at a book in his hand, and his brows are furrowed into a Sichuan character.
"Xeno, what the hell is going on," he asked, looking at Kuai Liang, the chief cabinet secretary standing beside him.
"Lord Shoufu, these rumors about the imperial court moving the capital broke out very suddenly, and they spread very quickly, and they have spread throughout Jinling City within three days, and even Jiangdong and Jingchu have begun to discuss this matter in the past few days."
Kuai Yue bowed down, bowed his hand to Zhu Zhi, and then said in a low voice: "My subordinates believe that in today's Great Wu territory, no one can do it with the ability to manipulate such a powerful public opinion, unless it is" "Unless the Propaganda Department, which is the best at public opinion, cooperates with the forces of Jinyiwei in the private sector, it is possible to complete such a large rumor spread, so that both the court and the people will pay attention to this matter."
When Zhu Zhi heard this, his aura moved, and he immediately understood what Kuai Yue meant, and he couldn't help but raise a bitter smile on his face.
The Propaganda Department does belong to the cabinet, and it must obey the orders of the cabinet to do things, but the director of the Propaganda Department is the confidant of His Majesty today, and Jinyiwei only listens to the orders of the Son of Heaven, and no one can give orders, so it is only possible to let these two departments cooperate, or even cooperate beyond him, the head of the cabinet, and only the will of today's son can do it.
"Shousuke-sama, what do you mean by what do you mean by this?"
Kuai Yue's face was a little gloomy and he asked.
"He's telling us that it was his idea to move the capital, and that anyone who stands in the way of it is his enemy."
Zhu Zhi naturally understood Sun Quan's thoughts and methods very well, and he sighed: "I'm afraid this matter is already inevitable."
As long as Sun Quan is determined to do something, he doesn't think he has the ability to stop it.
"But once the capital is moved, it will have a great impact on us."
"I don't know, if it is said that Xun Yu is blocked, I am a little sure, but since this is the meaning of His Majesty's table hole, we can't disobey the holy will" Zhu Zhi shook his head and said in a deep voice.
He is now in charge of the banner of the Jiangdong faction, and competes with Xun Yu's Cao Wei faction in the cabinet.
Xun Yu's ability is undoubted, although the two have always been polite on the surface in the past few months, Xun Yu's strong control inadvertently exposed still puts him under a lot of pressure.
If he could, he was naturally reluctant to move the capital north.
This is equivalent to making the Cao Wei system like a tiger, and the Jiangdong department will survive under the snort of the Cao Wei system in the future.
"But what needs to be done is still to be done" Zhu Zhi thought for a while, a sharp light burst out of his eyes, and said: "Since they made the first move, we will also make a move, and fight public opinion with public opinion, Your Majesty will not take the initiative to take action, our Majesty is very protective of the wings, so what we have to do is not to block the relocation of the capital, but to make Your Majesty think that they can't do this well."
Since ancient times, there has been only interests in political contention, and there is never right or wrong.
No matter what happens to this matter, Jiangdong must show Jiangdong's attitude, opposition is opposition, even if it can't be stopped in the end.
"The subordinates understand" Kuai Yue nodded, the Chu department is now the head of the Jiangdong department, so he naturally has to understand the meaning of the pioneer, so he has to do this thing if he doesn't do it, and he has to do it beautifully.
In another large hall of the Cabinet.
Xun Yu also convened several close associates in the cabinet to discuss the matter.

"Whose handwriting is this, the entry point is very appropriate, and it is easy to make the matter of moving the capital known to the whole world, which saves us a lot of effort."
Xun Yu was obviously beaten by this burst of public opinion, and he was a little confused.
He had just planned the relocation of the capital, so naturally he did not have such a strong ability to plan the public opinion that broke out in the Great Wu Dynasty.
When public opinion erupted, he was also taken aback.
"A few days ago, Sima Lang, chief of the political staff of the Imperial Study, went to the Jinyi Guard and Propaganda Division" Zhuge Jun, who has now moved into Dawu Qianzhuang, sat on the chair next to him, squinted his eyes, and said leisurely.
"It should be Your Majesty" Zhong Xuan said softly: "Only Your Majesty can have such ability, turning the clouds with one hand and covering the rain with the other."
"In this way, Your Majesty also hopes that the matter of moving the capital can be completed as soon as possible" There was a playful light in the eyes of Hubu Shangshu Xun Zhan.
"It is rumored that we proposed to move the capital, but everyone here knows that moving the capital was never my idea."
Xun Yu thought for a while, and said softly: "Your Majesty is urging us to complete the relocation of the capital as soon as possible, because the stability of a capital city plays a vital role in the future strategic deployment of the Great Wu Dynasty."
"I'm ready on my side" Zhuge Jun said: "The Ministry of Industry has completed the construction of Weiyang Palace City, and the outer city of Chang'an is also being built in an orderly manner."
"Then let's do it, start moving, we must let the relocation of the capital be completed within half a year" Xun Yu's eyes became fierce: "It's time to start the first battle for us to stand firmly in the center of the imperial court, the matter of moving the capital must conform to the will of the people, what we have to do is to convince everyone, and the most important thing is to let Your Majesty see our ability, so that Your Majesty thinks that we are able to solve problems for Your Majesty."
"Understood" When several people heard this, their faces became solemn, and the importance of this matter to them was self-evident.
In the following month or so, the storm of public opinion about the imminent relocation of the imperial court became more and more intense.
In early April, a cabinet official came forward to refute the rumors, denying that the imperial court had any intention of moving the capital.
In late April, the people of Jinling City sent a letter asking the imperial court to abandon its plan to move the capital.
Public opinion began to turn.
"The matter of moving the capital is bound to be a waste of money and labor, how can the imperial court act like this" "Jinling is the capital, but more than ten years, in order to build Jinling City, my Jiangdong people, how much to contribute to the imperial court, now the imperial court said to give up, to my Jiangdong where are the people" "Your Majesty, we must oppose those slanderers who are happy to sow discord" "Opposition to the relocation of the capital" “” Jinling City began to stir up bursts of opposition from public opinion.
Of course, if there is opposition, there is approval.
Naturally, the people of Guanzhong also began to play together, asking the imperial court to move the capital to Chang'an City.
Guanzhong and Jiangdong began to fight a war of words.
But in May, the direction of public opinion changed again.
Dozens of chambers of commerce in the business community suddenly joined forces, asking the court to move the capital to Chang'an City on the grounds that Jinling City had hindered the future development of the imperial court and was not enough to expand the future development strategy of the imperial court.
Among these chambers of commerce, not only in the north and south, but also in several leading business chambers in the land of Jiangdong, they are involved.
This has sparked not only the slightest public opinion.
In recent years, because of the Ministry of Industry's endless construction of roads in various states, the roads connecting the imperial court and the local government, and the sea route was unimpeded, the Silk Road broke out, and commerce became more and more prosperous.
Naturally, its influence among the people increased.
Da Wu settled the fields in his home, and the occupation of tenants began to enter the sunset stage, thus increasing the occupation of workers, and now many people are relying on merchants for food.
The counterattack of the business community brought the matter of moving the capital into a climax.
In mid-May, Xun Yu officially played at the monthly meeting of the imperial court council, asking His Majesty to move the capital to Chang'an City.
At that time, it sparked a debate in the entire imperial council.
Naturally, the ministers of the Koto faction, headed by Zhu Zhi, the first assistant to the cabinet, spared no effort to oppose it.
There was a lot of argument between the two sides.
In June, the imperial court council had already held a third discussion on the matter of moving the capital, but there was still no result, and the discussion on the fourth level finally gave Xun Yu the upper hand with Li Ru's backlash.
Sun Quan began to make a decision, and directly sent a group of inspectors to Chang'an City to investigate whether Chang'an City had the scale of a new capital.
The team leader and deputy head of the inspection office finally fell to Lu Dai, the imperial historian of the Imperial History Terrace, and Sun Jing, the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion.
In August, Lü Dai and Sun Jing returned to the imperial court and played Sun Quan, and the scale of the construction of Chang'an City, whether it was the construction of the city wall or the planning of the streets of the inner and outer cities, had far exceeded the scale of Jinling City today.
In September, Sun Quan ordered the capital to be moved to Chang'an.
Moving the capital is not a simple matter, this news, the entire Chang'an City is Luoyang paper expensive, an inch of land is an inch of gold, and merchants from all over the world have settled in Chang'an City.
In the second year of Long Ce, on October 1, Sun Quan sacrificed to the heavens on the Zen platform in Zhongshan.
On October 3, the Central Army and the Praetorian Guard began to escort the imperial court north to Chang'an, and a long procession began to leave Jinling City from Chaoyangmen, as if the prosperity and prosperity of Jinling had passed.
On November 27, Sun Quan and his courtiers arrived in Chang'an City.
On December 7, Liu Ye built a sacrificial platform on the outskirts of Chang'an.
On December 15, Sun Quan led hundreds of civil and military officials to the altar of the sacrifice, played the sky, and set the capital of Chang'an City.
The matter of moving the capital of Dawu is over.
The mission of Jinling City as the capital city since the Jiangdong period also ended, and the future political direction of Dawu was officially set in Chang'an City, which was also the closest place to connect the Western Regions. t1706231537:
