Chapter 397: Moving the Capital


On this day, the carriages and horses in front of Yong'an Gate were like dragons, the noise shook the earth, and the large troops who moved the capital were lined up and ready to go.After two months, after countless fierce discussions and debates in the court, the emperor of the Great Dream Dynasty finally reached an agreement with the ministers and nobles to move the capital to the South China Sea.In the end, the unanimity was able to be achieved thanks to the news from Baicheng in the lower reaches of the river, and the water volume in the lower reaches of the river has plummeted.The sun in the sky is like an inexhaustible ball of fire, red and weirdly dazzling.There is no trace of green in the beautiful and prosperous capital.At the gate of the Taiji Palace, several eunuchs and fathers-in-law held up a big umbrella, Qin Zhan got into the car from the palace gate, and he never looked back when he stepped out of the hall, and the abandoned things were not worth nostalgia.Yu Manzhi stepped on another carriage, brushed the curtain with his bare hands, and looked at the palaces of Zhu Yong Biwa with complicated eyes, and the dragon tower and phoenix pavilion will eventually deer away from Sutai."

Let's go!"

The eunuch's shrill voice dispersed his thoughts, and Yu Manzhi sighed behind the curtain, and the sigh was inaudible.Outside the palace gate, the wheels are rolling, the car is like flowing water, and the horse is like a dragon slowly driving to the official road outside the city.The slaves on both sides of the car sweated and ran, the car drove more than 100 feet, and the people dragged their families and mouths to fall spontaneously.The hustle and bustle of Yong'anmen is far away, the tea shops and restaurants are empty, and the streets extending in all directions are also empty, quiet and silent, leaving an empty city in vain."

Fangli, how many days have they been leaving?"

Yu Manzhi stared at the curtains embroidered by the phoenix bird, a little distracted.Fang Li responded: "Back to Niangniang, the eighth day of January." ”"Well, hurry up and whip Xu has arrived, and I don't know what the situation is in the south."

Yu Manzhi whispered in a low voice, his fingers flicked the curtains, and a wave of heat quickly flowed into the carriage from the curtains: "The weather is really hot!"

The glaze is in a bowl of smoothie. ”"Wait a minute, mother."

Fangli knelt down to uncover the heavy flannel on the ice mound, chiseled a bowl of smoothie and handed it over.After a moment, Yu Manzhi put down the empty bowl and said, "Chisel another bowl." ”Fangli lowered her head and said, "Niangniang, it's not easy to eat more when it's cold."

Yu Manzhi was stunned: "Add some honey." ”"Yes."

Fangli didn't dare to say more, licked her slightly chapped lips and half-knelt to chisel ice.For several days, the traffic traveled from the scorching sun to the setting sun, and the slaves running with the car continued to fall from the heat, and the corpses were in the wilderness.With the reduction of slaves, the comfortable life of the nobles was greatly affected, and the royal nobles seemed to realize that it was not advisable to travel during the day, and instead changed to a nocturnal walk.In the twilight, a pair of grandparents and grandchildren walked briskly after the traffic."

Grandpa, it's hot, I'm so tired!"

The middle-aged man leaned down and uncovered the coarse cloth wrapped around his grandson's head and said, "The sun is going down, and it won't be hot when you untie the cloth." ”"Grandpa, I'm thirsty!"

The child lifted his little red face, licked his lips and cried out thirsty.The middle-aged Han looked around, and waited for the people around him to walk away before picking up his 7-year-old grandson and hiding from a big stone, carefully took out the water bladder hidden in his shirt, and whispered: "Cheng'er take a small sip." ”"Hmm."

The child took a sip of the water bladder gently, and his eyes fell on the water bladder with a reluctant desire: "Grandpa, you drink it too." ”The middle-aged man suppressed the urge to lick his lips and said dryly, "Grandpa is not thirsty." ”Then he groped for a cloth bag, lifted the layers of cloth, broke a small piece of coarse grain cake and handed it to his grandson: "Cheng'er, eating a piece of cake and drinking saliva, let's continue to hurry." ”Wei Cheng took the cake and broke it into two: "Grandpa, you eat." ”The middle-aged man pulled a smile: "Cheng'er eats, grandpa doesn't like to eat cakes." ”Wei Cheng looked at the bark in his hand and said, "Grandpa, the bark can't be chewed." ”The middle-aged man took a deep breath: "Chew moving, grandpa has good teeth, Cheng'er hurry up and eat the cake and hurry." ”After each of the two ancestors and grandchildren finished their first meal of the day, the middle-aged man patted the bark crumbs on his hands, squatted down and said, "Cheng'er, come up, grandpa will carry you for a while." ”My grandson had just finished eating, and he was afraid of hurting his stomach by walking quickly.Wei Cheng obediently climbed on his back: "Grandpa, is it really the emperor sitting in the carriage in front?"

”Middle-aged man: "Hmm. ”Wei Cheng: "Didn't my father say that the emperor was in charge of the people of the world, but why didn't the emperor care about us, aren't we the people?"

”Middle-aged man: "We are the people. ”Wei Cheng: "Then why doesn't he care about us." ”The middle-aged man looked up at the starry sky, let out a long sigh, and muttered, "Yes, why?"

”After a long silence, Wei Cheng thought about it and asked, "Grandpa, then why do we still follow him?"

”The child's idea is very simple, the emperor doesn't care about us anymore, why should he follow him.The middle-aged man said sadly: "Because there may still be a glimmer of life with him, they will go to places with a lot of water, and we can only live if there is water." ”"Oh."

Wei Cheng didn't seem to understand, but he knew that there was a lot of water, so he didn't have to drink water in small sips.Along the way, wealthy businessmen and ordinary people continued to join the team of moving the capital, and the team was stretched to a length of dozens of miles.In the lower reaches of the Yi River, Wei Zhixun commanded the soldiers to go down to the river to get water, and looked at the people who were piled up in the half-dried river to get water, his brows furrowed, and he turned around and walked towards Long Bao: "Shou Gonggong, please pass it on, Weichen has something to meet the emperor." ”Before Shoude could speak, he heard a deep voice from the dragon: "Accurate." ”Shoude bowed and said, "Yes."

General Wei please. ”After he entered, Qin Zhan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

”Wei Zhixun knelt in front of the case: "Back to the emperor, you can arrive at the Sanzhi area at the beginning of next month, according to the news sent back by the spies, Yiyuan went to the border city of Ruicheng to the empty building, it is already an empty city, I don't know where it has moved." ”Qin Zhan: "In this case, it is necessary to skip a war. ”Wei Zhixun continued: "A large number of people are left near Ruicheng, and most of the people of my dynasty have moved with the relocation of the capital. ”Qin Zhan said with an uncertain expression: "What does Aiqing mean...?"

”Wei Zhixun said: "According to Weichen's opinion, drive or pit and kill." ”Qin Zhan's eyes swept over and asked a digression: "How many years have you followed me?"

”Wei Zhixun was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Weichen entered the Qin Mansion at the age of eight, and entered the military camp at the age of thirteen, and the military camp stayed for nine years, so it has been fourteen years. ”Qin Zhan said lightly: "Yes, the military camp has been nine years, and I can't lead troops to fight, and you can't govern the country." ”Wei Zhixun's whole body was shocked, he suddenly sweated, and knelt on the ground and said: "Weichen is terrified......

Qin Zhan's expression was as usual, and his tone was very light: "Build the capital, hard labor, farming...

That is the same as the people, counting the historical records, which dynasty and which generation of thrones are only left with monarchs and nobles, how can a country without ordinary people be called a country. ”Wei Zhixun said shamefully: "Wechen is ashamed, Wechen understands." ”Qin Zhan bent the corners of his mouth: "It's good to understand, retreat." ”Wei Zhixun raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is ready to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to open the road and widen the road, so that the dragon can pass smoothly." ”Qin Zhan bowed: "Accurate." ”Wei Zhixun: "Weichen retired. ”
