"As expected!"
He saw that he had successfully taken second place.
A smile appeared on Zhu Di's face.
Although he didn't get first place, getting second place wasn't bad.
Would you like to display your national strength?
"Show!"
Zhu Di said without hesitation.
After all, he still wanted others to take a look at Yongle Glory World, which he was so proud of.
"Father, believe me, when the time comes, you will not think that it is a bad thing for me to take Yun Wen's throne!”
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said sincerely.
After all, he had not obtained the throne properly.
If he could get his father's approval, it would be a relief for him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
"Alright, let's see how you govern the country.”
Things like usurping the throne.
Any emperor would have a knot in their heart.
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang faced Zhu Di, he also had an indescribable emotion. However, since he was able to take the second place, it meant that Fourth Brother was indeed something.
The scene in the sky slowly unfolded.
In the first year of Yongle, you, who had fought your way from the land of Yan to Yingtian, ascended the throne at Mount Zhijin. The last man who ascended the throne in this place was called Zhu Yuanzhang. You swore in your heart that you would make Ming better under your leadership, even better than your father.
In the same year, in order to restore the people's livelihood and reduce taxes as soon as possible, you ordered the prefectures and counties in Shantung, Pingbei, and Honan that had suffered from the war to exempt the people who could not cultivate from taxes for three years. Those places that had not suffered from the war also carried out corresponding tax relief policies.
In the second year of Yongle, you decided to write a great work to show the might of the country and benefit generations. The purpose was to compile all the books of the various schools of thought, including astronomy, geography, Yin and Yang, medical divination, Buddhism, and skills into one book.
So you let Xie Jin lead the group of scholars from the Imperial Academy to start writing.
In the third year of Yongle, you decided to move the capital to Pingbei. Although the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and the ministers strongly opposed it, you still insisted on moving the capital. Perhaps it was because of the usurpation of the throne, but you always had nightmares in Yingtian.
The scene passed by very quickly.
Soon, it was the third year of Yongle.
"The first two years were barely okay, but why did you insist on moving the capital in the end?”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.
Yingtian was the place where he had made his fortune, and it was the capital that he had personally chosen.
Why move the capital?
Don't tell him.
Could it be as simple as having a nightmare?
"Father, it's not that I want to move the capital, but I really have no choice.”
Zhu Di complained," Moreover, the civil officials of Ying Tian don't listen to me at all. I have my own team in Pingbei, so it's more comfortable to use them."”
"In addition, your eight northern expeditions didn't completely wipe out the Hu in the north. I moved the capital to make it easier for the northern expeditions.”
"Ridiculous!"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to listen to Zhu Di's explanation and snorted coldly.
"If we move to Jingdou, wouldn't it expose the capital of Ming Dynasty to Northern Yuan?”
He was not a fool.
Zhu Di's explanation was simply self-explanatory.
What did he mean by making it easier for the Northern Expedition?
Anyone who knew a little about history would know that it was impossible for a dynasty to be filled with virtuous kings and wise rulers.
What if a muddle-headed emperor appeared in the future?
Wouldn't their Zhu family's business be ruined in one day?
"Houzhao, do you think it's better to move the capital or not?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Houzhao.
"This one."
Zhu Houzhao's gaze slowly moved away from the screen and pondered for a moment.""Moving the capital has its advantages, and not moving the capital also has its advantages.”
"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.”
"If we don't move the capital, the Jiangnan area will be rich and will naturally be able to build Yingtian into the economic and political center of the world. However, the weakness is also obvious.”
"Great Ancestor, don't forget that the last dynasty that established a capital in Jiangnan was the Southern Song Dynasty.”
Southern Song Dynasty
Just the mention of this word made the six people present frown.
Let alone the others.
Even Jiajing, who cultivated all day, looked down on the Southern Song Dynasty.
A dynasty that was bullied by the Liao Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, and Mongolia!
The existence of such a dynasty was simply a disgrace to the Han people!
"If we choose the capital, although it will make Great Ming face the threat, there are two advantages.”
Zhu Houzhao continued.
"First, Lord Yongle originally came from Pingbei and his own team is all in Pingbei. If he moves the capital to Pingbei, he will be able to have enough political foundation for a long time. This way, he will naturally be able to consolidate his rule.”
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
That was indeed what he thought.
"As for the second place, it has something to do with you.”
"With me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.
"Back then, in order to take over Northern Yuan's territory and settle the conflict between the Hu and Han tribes, you said that the Hu and Han tribes were one family, and Pingbei's predecessor was the Yuan Dynasty's capital.”
"If we move the capital to Yuandadu, we will naturally be able to release an even stronger signal.”
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
"There's such a saying?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there to be such a benefit.
As for those territories in Northern Yuan.
He was really greedy!
He didn't expect that he could use the move of the capital to facilitate this matter.
Zhu Di also reacted and nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, that's right. Just like Houzhao said, that's what I think!”
“.......”
Zhu Houzhao was slightly speechless.
He didn't see that this Lord Yongle had such a thick skin?
The scene in the sky continued.
In the 4th year of Yongle, you ordered Zheng He to go to the West for the first time. In addition to promoting the prestige of Ming Dynasty, it was more to find your missing nephew Zhu Yunwen. After all, if Zhu Yunwen is not dead, he is still a threat to you.
In the fifth year of Yongle, you found that the government decrees were too complicated, so you began to improve the civil service system. You selected scholars from the Imperial Academy to help you share the government affairs. This was also the embryonic form of the cabinet.
In the same year, when Zheng He returned, countless foreign envoys paid their respects to him. You were secretly happy, thinking that the Tang Dynasty's coming court was probably no better than this, right?
In the sixth year of Yongle, you ordered Zheng He to go to the West for the second time. This time, besides exploring further places, it was also to send these foreign envoys home. Many envoys cried and wanted to stay in Ming Dynasty, but you didn't agree and sent them all back. You told them that they could come back next year with gifts.
"Does this show of national strength have to be so direct?”
Zhu Di was a little depressed.
One of the reasons he sent Zheng He to the West was to find his nephew.
However, in terms of the actual effect…
He didn't find a good nephew, but only opened up the western sea route, allowing the Ming Dynasty to show its might in the world.
Why was there an animation on it?
He even said what he was thinking?
He stole a glance at Zhu Yuanzhang.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that her father wasn't angry.
It was alright.
The father who came to the emperor chat group was from the fifth year of Hongwu.
If it came after the 25th year of Hongwu.
He was afraid that he would have to be punished today.
"Fourth Bro, is it really so profitable in the West?”
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but ask.
The Zhengde Dynasty directly opened the sea ban.
The current Hong Martial Dynasty could not imitate this. After all, there was still the threat of Northern Yuan.
But if it's just going to the west
There was still no problem!
"It's indeed very profitable."
Zhu Di nodded." Not to mention that the goods of our Ming Dynasty are rare items in the western countries. They are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them. Just the treasures that are paid as tribute are worth a lot!”
"I see."
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes.
Old Zhu had an inexplicable obsession with money.
Since I'm going to the west to make money
Speaking of which, Chen Youliang's big ships seemed to still be preserved.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered.
In the Yongle Dynasty, he could go to the West.
Why couldn't the Hongwu Dynasty be conquered?
