The news brought by Lan Yu made Hu Weiyong stand up in shock.
"General Lan, are you sure?"
"Yes, Prime Minister!" Lan Yu nodded. The news came from the Eastern Palace!"
Blue Jade didn't finish the rest of her sentence, but everyone understood.
This matter was probably related to the Crown Princess Consort.
The Crown Princess was Chang Yuchun's daughter, Lan Yu was Chang Yuchun's wife, and the Chang family was the Huaixi people's Crown Princess.
If the news came from the Crown Princess Consort, then it was most likely from the other side!
And this was also a signal. The Crown Princess Consort, Madam Chang, was revealing something to the Huaixi dignitaries.
Hu Weiyong couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and paced back and forth.
"General Lan, I'm afraid your information is more than that, right?"”
"I saw that you were happy when you came. Could it be that there are benefits to the Crown Prince's inspection of Fengyang?”
When Fei Ju heard this, he immediately gave up his seat and invited Lan Yu to sit.
At this time, Lan Yu had yet to be conferred a title, and his official position was only a deputy general, but the Huaixi people did not dare to look down on him.
Not only was Lan Yu Zhu Biao's uncle, but he was also a brave warrior.
Northern Yuan had yet to be destroyed, and the four barbarians of the Ming Dynasty were uneasy. There were still many times when Zhu Yuanzhang needed blue jade!
This allowed Lan Yu to naturally occupy the position of a sheep among Huaixi's nobility.
"General Lan, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us what happened.”
"Yes, whether it's good or bad, give me a definite answer!”
"If the Crown Prince really wants to investigate the matter of us occupying land, we must have a way to deal with it today.”
“……”
Everyone was noisy, but Lan Yu was as steady as Mount Tai. She had a happy expression on her face, but she could not help but despise him in her heart.
He thought to himself,[The Crown Prince is right. Many of these people are a motley crew. They can't hold their breaths at the slightest sign of trouble!]
"Everyone, please be at ease. The Crown Prince going to Fengyang will only benefit us!”
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he looked at Lan Yu suspiciously, obviously not believing it.
Lan Yu didn't care about this. He remembered what the Crown Prince had instructed him to do.
"Everyone, I'll be frank with you. The Crown Prince's trip this time is not for the matter of seizing land."”
"It's just that…the Emperor is preparing to move the capital!”
Move the capital?
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and even forgot to discuss.
The news brought by Lan Yu was too shocking!
Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to move the capital had never stopped from the beginning of the founding of the country to the 20 years of Hongwu.
Besides Jinling, he had also thought of several other places.
He had even considered Fengyang, Beiping, Shaanxi, and even Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty.
But in the end, they all died. Firstly, it was because of the importance of moving the capital, and secondly, none of these places seemed to be as suitable as Jinling.
Especially Kaifeng, it was a flat land. As long as the enemy crossed the Yellow River, they would be beaten up!
The Great Song suffered a great loss back then.
In the past two years, Zhu Yuanzhang never mentioned the matter of moving the capital again, causing the dignitaries to forget about it.
Unexpectedly, moving the capital to Fengyang was suddenly put on the agenda again.
Fengyang had always been Old Zhu's favorite. Back then, when the capital was set, his first choice was Fengyan.
It was because this was Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown!
But in the end, Liu Bowen and the others dissuaded him and changed to Jinling.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to move the capital to Fengyang had never stopped.
In the second year of Hongwu, he ordered Fengyang to be the capital and even sent Li Shan Chang to supervise the construction of the capital.
Due to the massive scale of the construction of Fengyang, a department was specially set up to manage the construction of the capital. Li Shan Chang, Tang He, and the others were in charge.
By the sixth year of Hongwu, the Central Capital's Imperial City was completed. However, outside of the Imperial City, there were still palace cities, capital cities, and so on. The construction of the Central Capital could be said to be relatively slow!
For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang had also issued several edicts to urge the construction speed, and even personally inspected the construction situation in the Central Capital.
In the 8th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang inspected Fengyang again and suddenly ordered the construction to stop.
It was all because of the sensational "town disgust incident"!
During Zhu Yuanzhang's inspection of the Fengyang Imperial Palace, a strange and shocking thing happened.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had stepped into the newly built Fengyang Imperial Palace. He slowly walked up the imperial steps and sat on the throne, looking around at the golden throne room. He was feeling smug when he suddenly heard a voice.
On the roof of the throne room, there seemed to be two people fighting fiercely with swords in their hands. The clanging sounds were sharp and clear.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. The emperor was on a personal tour, and the place he visited was heavily guarded. How could there be people fighting in the throne room?
After sending people to check, there was nothing unusual inside and outside the golden hall, but as long as Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the hall, he would hear that terrifying voice.
The accompanying Li Shan Chang immediately reported to the emperor that the craftsmen who built the house must have used the method of "suppressing the town" on the golden hall.
The so-called " Suppression of Hatred " was an ancient witchcraft that was mainly used to curse people and things that one hated.
Of course, no one could tell if he really hated the town. Perhaps this was just an excuse for Lee Shan Chang not to take the blame.
After all, there were many reasons for the strange sound of a building.
For example, the wind passing through the empty hall, or the natural sound of the various components during the settlement of the new building.
It was even possible that Old Zhu didn't sleep well that day and had hallucinations.
In short, there were many reasons. He couldn't be sure that it was because he hated the town.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill the craftsmen who built the palace in anger, but was dissuaded by Li Shanchang.
Since ancient times, the curse of witchcraft had implicated many people. In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had even killed a crown prince because of it!
Once the situation escalated, it might cause an uncontrollable situation.
After all, ghosts and gods were sometimes more terrifying than war!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and gave up on the investigation, and the matter of the Central Capital was temporarily put on hold.
In other words, from the eighth year of Hongwu until now, the Central Capital was actually an unfinished project that had not been completed.
Now that the matter of moving the capital had restarted, all the dignitaries felt inexplicable. They did not know what had happened to Zhu Yuanzhang again.
When Liu Bowen was in the court, he had always opposed the move of the capital. Li Shan Chang agreed back then, not because he thought that Fengyang was more suitable than Jinling, but because he simply disagreed with Liu Bowen.
Now that Li Shanchang had retired and Hu Weiyong was in power, he was still Liu Bowen's opponent.
Everyone turned to look at Hu Weiyong.
I wonder what Hu Weiyong's attitude towards this matter is this time?
Hu Weiyong saw everyone looking at him and suddenly laughed.
"Why are you all looking at me? Is my opinion important?"”
"Now that the Crown Prince is patrolling Fengyang, I'm afraid that the Crown Prince's opinion is the most important, right?”
"Once the Crown Prince thinks that Fengyang is suitable for moving the capital, it will be useless no matter how much Liu Bowen objects!”
"But I am very curious. The matter of moving the capital has not been discussed yet, so why is General Lan so happy? Where did the joy come from?"
