Chapter 284: Free and easy

The large group of people continued to move towards Guanzhong, and Zhu Xiongying has now come back from his initial state of excitement. It is indeed worth having a happy life with his offspring, but the most important thing at the moment is to do his job well.

/p>

His job is to inspect Guanzhong and carefully inspect the two cities of Xi'an and Luoyang. This is what he does. This involves the capital migration. Zhu Xiongying needs to observe carefully all aspects of the candidate cities of these two capitals.

/p>

This is not about bringing people to the scene, nor is it about knowing the answer by looking through history books. There are many things that you still have to go and see in person.

Xu Da had his own idea and looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Your Highness, Guanzhong has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you really want to talk about it, Xi'an is easier to defend."

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "To be honest, Yingtian Mansion Tiger and Dragon Plate, the Yangtze River is naturally dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to overcome. The only thing is that it is in the south, and the mountains are low and slow. Once you cross the Yangtze River

Natural danger, it is difficult to guard against."

Xu Da recognized this and continued to say, "Xi'an is different. Although it is located in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain, it is adjacent to the Wei River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south. Fortresses such as Tongguan, Wuguan, and Sanguan are barriers, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack."

This is also a fact. Guanzhong is actually very suitable as a capital city. Various steep passes are a natural barrier. This is also a reason why Lao Zhu was thinking about building the capital in Guanzhong.

Xu Da also continued, "When the country was newly established, the court had already built the city of Xi'an, and now it is mostly successful."

This is also a fact. In fact, most of the later Xi'an city walls were built during the Ming Dynasty. This project was completed three or four years after Zhu Xiongying was born. Now the Xi'an city wall is 12 meters high and the bottom is 15 meters wide. This project

The amount is not small.

But all this is worth it. The city of Xi'an is really important, even if it is not the capital now. However, this city is very important for supporting the northern border and radiating to the northwest region.

This seems not to be a military city like Peking, but it is more important in the sense.

This is also the reason why Zhu Ceng guarded Xi'an. In such an important place, Lao Zhu obviously couldn't feel at ease with others to guard. His own son came to the vassal state. This is one of the reasons why Lao Zhu was more at ease.

Li Wenzhong also said hurriedly, "Your Highness, Luoyang is good. But Songshan Mountain is not as dangerous as Zhongnan Mountain, Yihe River and Luohe River are not as powerful as Weihe River, and Ba River is not as powerful as the Ba River."

Luoyang has the benefits of Luoyang, and Xi'an has the same kind of things as Xi'an, which is not truly perfect. However, these two cities are also the biggest favorites now. Lao Zhu prefers Xi'an, while Zhu Biao likes Luoyang.

In fact, all civil and military officials were in a dilemma at this time. It was too difficult to choose between the emperor and the prince.

What's more, whether it is Xi'an or Luoyang, it does have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult for people to choose. The choice of the capital is really too important, and no one dares to take such a thing lightly.

Even the crown prince Zhu Xiongying seems to be just a tool now. He is just here to inspect Guanzhong and preside over this inspection and inspection. What is really the decision depends on the talented and wise Emperor Hongwu and the elegant and honest emperor.

Prince.

Those two are the real decision-makers, and Zhu Xiongying is at most just beating the side drum.

Zhu Xiongying actually understood that Xu Da was inclined to Xi'an, and Li Wenzhong supported the prince, and these two also had their own ideas.

It is impossible to completely unify opinions. Zhu Xiongying understands this truth, and he does not force everyone to unify opinions. But no matter what, it is enough to choose more benefits than disadvantages.

Xu Da continued at this time, "Xi'an can go to Hebei and Henan. You can go to Shu directly when you go to the west. You can go to the Hexi Corridor to connect to the Western Regions. You can go to the north to connect to the grasslands."

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "What Duke Wei said is true. Xi'an is born to be suitable for the unified dynasty to establish the capital. Establishing the capital of Xi'an is more convenient for a court to control all parts of the country. Just Duke Wei, do you know the climate in Guanzhong now

Have there been any changes?"

This is also a fact. From the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the climate in Guanzhong began to become colder overall. The cooling of the climate also reduced the plants here, including the wind and sand on the Loess Plateau, which would have a significant impact. The next key is

The soil fertility has decreased, and it is too difficult to support millions of households in Guanzhong.

Li Wenzhong also hurriedly said, "Your Highness, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Tubo did not have any powerful regime and could not pose any threat to the Central Plains dynasty. But by the Tang Dynasty, Tubo began to gradually rise. Once Tubo attacked and killed from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

You can quickly attack Xi'an, and there are almost no natural dangers to stop it along the way."

Xu Da disapproved it and immediately said, "What Duke Cao said is wrong. The court had long recruited Uszang. He surrendered during the Yuan Dynasty. Now the court has also enthroned Uszangdusi and the Marshal of the Ulisi Military and Civil Affairs Office.

Duogan Xingdusi, Hezhou Wei commander Tongzhi, it is difficult to have a Tubo Dynasty now."

It's okay to say that. There are really various small forces on the plateau. Lao Zhu had previously recruited some officials from the Yuan Dynasty. The current Uszang area is actually nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.
p>

However, many people also know that those are actually chieftains. The Ming Dynasty did not have more manpower and material resources directly govern the plateau areas. Now they can only control them and prevent them from having the opportunity to grow and rebel.

Xi'an can not only effectively resist the nomadic peoples in the north, but also connect with the Western Regions. This is what Lao Zhu is most concerned about, not to mention that it is also the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the significance here is naturally extraordinary.

Sometimes the political symbolic meaning is unusual. Lao Zhu is thinking about being comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties. What Lao Zhu regrets the most now is that the Ming Dynasty has not yet included the Western Regions in its territory.

It is normal for Mr. Zhu Xiongying to be careful. Although he is stubborn when he has an idea, this does not mean that he is stubborn.

Can't listen to other people's opinions.

Sometimes group planning is not a bad thing, so Zhu Xiongying naturally knows this truth very well.

Having entered Guanzhong, although most people are so tired and have a sense of dust. However, for Zhu Xiongying, he still maintains the handsome appearance of Fengshen.

It's true that it's a long journey, but if you really want to say that you're tired, it's obviously an exaggeration. He is still relatively comfortable, not only because he's strong, but also because he's served by someone.

Seeing that he arrived in Xi'an, Wang De in front of him cheered up. As Wang Bi's eldest son and the confidant of the crown prince, he had a great future. Now he is leading the cavalry of Shenji Camp.

The cavalry under his subordinates are all dressed and armored. This cannot lose the face of the crown prince. The royal demeanor should be.

Seeing the people in the distance, Wang De knew it well, but he still couldn't be careless and quickly asked the whistleman to come forward to ask.

After receiving a clear reward, Wang De rushed forward, "Your Highness, according to the emperor's order, Your Highness, Your Highness, will not leave the city."

Zhu Chuang didn't care, but just smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Emperor inspected Guanzhong. Although I was the King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, I was also a minister. If I did not leave the city to welcome him, it would be a crazy act."

In fact, it is essentially because Zhu Xiongying respects his uncle. If Zhu Xiongying leaves the city, he must have performed the rituals of the king and ministers in front of Zhu Xiongying. The face of the King of Qin is still a bit valuable.

Zhu Xiongying soon learned the news, and only smiled and made the ceremonial war. Since the King of Qin led all the officials from Xi'an out of the city to welcome him, it naturally means that this represents the dignity of the court, and then it will naturally be

We must not ignore it.

Zhu Xiongying changed into armor under the servitude of Zhang Changping. As for the guards who were originally a little loose, they didn't dare to be careless. Now it's not a road, and every word and action needs to be cheered up.

.

The crown prince should be young and savage, especially many people have heard that the crown prince has unique status and power, so they cannot be disappointed. The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty should have the nobles of heaven and earth.

Look.

Zhu Xiongying is quite satisfied with his image. His appearance is not low. The most important thing is that his temperament and clothes are very outstanding. He has indeed developed a sense of momentum over the years.

Riding a black horse forward, surrounded by elite guards, his momentum was indeed very strong.

Zhu Xi immediately moved forward and led all civil and military officials to kneel respectfully, "My minister, Zhu Xi, the King of Qin, will pay a visit to the Emperor's Royal Highness, Your Highness, Qianqiu!"

Zhu Xiongying, sitting on the horse's back, received the ceremony calmly and said with a smile, "Uncle the emperor is calm, and all my dear friends are calm."

Not only the civil and military officials who followed Zhu Chuang out of the city, but also some gentry in Xi'an, etc. The emperor and the crown princess went on patrol, so naturally there would be no lack of etiquette in etiquette, otherwise this would be a sin.

p>

After Zhu Xiongying got up, Zhu Xiongying also jumped off the horse and walked towards Zhu Xiong with a smile, "Second uncle, I don't let you go out of the city just because I'm afraid of such a disaster! We are close relatives, how can we be so polite!

”

"The court's laws are indispensable!" Zhu Chuang said seriously, "Your Highness inspected Guanzhong, which is even more important. As the King of Qin, I should take the lead in abiding by the laws."

Hearing Zhu Chuang say this, Zhu Xiongying doesn't know how to answer, and really doesn't know how to answer.

Not to mention Zhu Xiongying's understanding of his second uncle's virtue, even many officials knew about it. Even some people from the Ming Dynasty had heard of it. Especially in Guanzhong and Xi'an, people in Xi'an, are even more so.

Know the bad deeds of the King of Qin.

The military and civilians in the pass were ordered to buy gold and silver, and the military and civilians were in distress, and even sold their children. They even fought against the people who went to the royal palace to plead with mercy, killing an old man and arresting a hundred people. However, when they went to the Xifan, they kidnapped 105 people.

Ten young girls castrated another hundred and fifty-five young boys.

With his second concubine Deng, who had been sentenced to death, he built a large-scale pleasure in torture the palace ladies. He often abused lynching, cut off the palace ladies' tongue, buried the palace ladies to death in the snow, tied them to trees to starve them to death, burned them to death with fire.

Wait...

This person's personal morality is really not very good, so he abused the official concubine "Zhao Min" and that was nothing.

But Zhu Xiongying didn't say much, mainly because Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao would not punish him easily. On the other hand, in such feudal dynasties, these privileged classes sometimes did this, and many people were used to it.

In this era, human rights are obviously self-indulgent. If Zhu Xiongying had not been lucky enough to become a privileged class, he might have been struggling now. His background almost determines his destiny, such as ethics, laws, etc. in this era.

, it will also restrict some people.

If you make money, you might become a fat sheep that some people can harvest at any time. Even if you study hard and even if you are on the list of gold, you might be sent to a small town to be a poor official.

.....

Zhu Xiongying waved and said to Zhu Xiong with a smile, "Second uncle, I brought Shang Bing back this time. I will let him stay in the palace and not let him return to Beijing."

Zhu Chuang was overjoyed. Zhu Shangbing was his eldest son and was born by his concubine Deng. In fact, this was the eldest son of the politeness of etiquette, but in Zhu Chuang's eyes, Zhu Shangbing was his eldest son. Even Deng had been sentenced to death long ago.

But in the Zhu family, who was born in love with the ancestors, Zhu Ceng has not forgotten his love.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Zhu Xiong, "I don't want to say much about this happy day, but although I have sent Shang Bing back, I am going to choose a guest of honor for my eldest sister."

This is Zhu Cheng’s eldest daughter, Princess Pucheng, and she is indeed at the age of marriage.

Zhu Chuang actually didn't care much about his own daughter. She was considered a ancestral preference for boys over girls. Besides, she was a illegitimate identity and was not particularly valued by Zhu Chuang.

Zhu Chuang asked with concern, "Your Highness, Shang Bing is almost at the age of marriage. I am thinking about how many good words I can help you after returning to Beijing?"

No matter how bad the ritual of his daughter is, he is not much different, but most of them are unlikely to be a top noble. However, Zhu Ren is very concerned about his eldest son's marriage, and he must be looking for a top noble family.

The legitimate birth.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "I know this in my mind. We should talk to you when we arrive at the palace. Second uncle, let all officials and gentry meet you."

Just chatting about family matters for a few words. Now many people are still looking forward to talking to His Royal Highness the Emperor.

Zhu Chuang also understood this truth. He would talk about it when he had something to go back to the city. Now he is chatting like this outside the city, which is indeed a bit more trouble.

Zhu Xiongying's freedom of restraint and retention is to be serious and majestic when it should be serious and majestic. But when he is respectful to the wise and respecting the elderly and loving the young, he is also like a spring breeze.
