[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Jinling and Yanjing are thousands of miles away, and even if they travel day and night, it will take at least ten days.Xiangrui discovered it not long ago, and the good news arrived in Beijing on the day the government office opened the seal, which shows how strong the local governor's intention to get promoted is, and he is afraid that he will leave for Beijing immediately after hearing the news.

Auspiciousness can be divided into big and small, ranging from Hetu Luoshu to exotic flowers and herbs. Although they can all be used as evidence of a politician's outstanding achievements in heaven, the effects are not the same.Small auspiciousness reported to the court, but a few words of praise, a slight increase in monthly salary and so on. If the report is big auspiciousness, and the investigation is true, it will not only make a fortune, but also leave a name in history. I am afraid that the reporter's ancestral grave will smoke. Just ask for luck.

It's no wonder that the person who came here is clearly intentional and eager for quick success.The auspiciousness of Jinling is Shangrui, which must be recorded in the annals of history and be known and praised by future generations.

This matter needs to start with Yuan Bi, a well-known Taoist priest.

Yuan Bi said that he traveled all over the world, accompanied the sun, the moon, and the stars.Don't be discouraged after seeing it, and search hard for seventy-seven forty-nine days, eat the wind and drink the dew to learn from his sincerity, and the result is sick.Suddenly lying on an island, floating up and down, traveling hundreds of miles back, and entering the cave, he saw a huge jagged rock with the inscription "Tianziwu, Town Jinling, Kyushu Xianfu".

Yuan Bi was horrified, and looked up, and suddenly heard the thunder behind him, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains.When all things collapsed, the island showed its original shape, and the giant tortoise shrank its head and neck, and melted into the water again, and then disappeared in a moment.

According to ancient books, Dayu's water control depends on the help of the tortoise, so the tortoise has always been one of the blessings in auspiciousness.

When Yuan Bi saw Jiarui, he was apprehensive and did not dare to act rashly. He first reported it to the Jinling Chief Envoy, who then reported it to the imperial court.

The place where the sky stone is located is secluded and heavy, and it took half a month for soldiers to dig it out.When it arrived in Yanjing, although it was covered with brocade and satin, everyone regarded its size as a surprise.

At the beginning of the new year, I got this Jiarui. Even if the war with Frankie is imminent, all the ministers feel that the gods are blessing.But then the question arises, where should this boulder be placed?

The Mingtang is the place where the emperor sacrifices and communicates with the heavens.As usual, it should be enshrined in the Ming Hall.But the scriptures also say that it must be towned in Jinling before Kyushu can be surrendered.There is a bright hall at the foot of the emperor. How can there be a bright hall in Jinling where huge stones can be placed?It is to build temples for worship, no matter how beautiful and magnificent, it does not conform to the etiquette system.

This matter is quite tricky, and should not be neglected, the ministers immediately put aside their party affiliation and political differences, and offered advice one after another.There are different opinions, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to give a satisfactory answer after a few days.Until the front line, a small official suddenly suggested moving the capital and building a Ming Hall in Jinling to worship the heavenly stone, causing an uproar in the court!

Moving the capital is a big deal, not to mention that Jinling is a place of great evil.

Going back several dynasties, Jinling was their capital, and they all perished in Jinling.There are many such coincidences, and the world will inevitably think elsewhere.About from the beginning of the dynasty, there has been a saying that Jinling's dragon veins have been completely damaged by geomantic omen, and it is not suitable to establish a capital.

Now because of this Tianshi, you want to move the capital to Jinling? !

Many ministers immediately refuted it. They disagreed with moving the capital. The big deal was to build a temple in Jinling that was almost the same as Mingtang, but it was not called "Mingtang" and enshrined the sky stone.This suggestion was moderate, neither radical nor negative, and was quickly approved by the officials.Since the ministers are so unanimous, the monarch can only agree.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Bi was the first to stand up and object, saying that this decision was against God's will.He is a Taoist priest, although he has a good reputation, and he discovered the Tianshi, but he is humble and unconvincing, so no one pays attention to him.The imperial court sent him to Kanyu to choose a site half a month ago, but he did not dare to resist the order, so he took the order and left.A few days ago, a piece of land was drawn out, but that night there was a storm and thunderstorms. Everyone in the construction thought it was unknown, and hurriedly returned to Beijing overnight to report.

Everyone saw with their own eyes that the Tianshi was real.The tortoise had to dictate it to Yuan Bi, but he did not know whether it was true or not.But this thunderstorm and wind power, there are both human and physical evidence, so you have to believe it if you don’t believe it.

This "false" Mingtang dedicated to Tianshi really cannot be built arbitrarily.

So, the whole thing went back to the original point, what should I do with this Tianshi?

No one has the guts to come up with bad ideas anymore, and indeed they can't.For the past few days, Tianshi has been enshrined in the Ming Hall just like when it first entered Beijing.This method violated the "Towning Jinling" mentioned in the heavenly scriptures, even if everyone didn't say it, they were probably a bit lucky in their hearts, hoping that there would be no punishment from heaven, and it would prove that this sky stone could town Yanjing, not Jinling.

The New Deal has been implemented for several months, and the results are quite fruitful.

There are always loopholes in the law that can be exploited. Although the sea ban has been enforced since the establishment of the dynasty, in coastal state capitals like Haizhou, people often go to sea to resell goods back and forth.After coming and going, many people learned some crafts, such as tempering steel, such as making guns and cannons. It was originally driven by interest, but unexpectedly, after an edict from the imperial court, it became a living job.

Haizhou has built several workshops for two purposes, one is to develop first-class artillery, and the other is to improve armaments.Both processes have been halfway through for months.The deal is done, and opponents in the ruling and opposition parties are gradually dying down.

Opening a workshop is no different than opening a weaving workshop. The movement is not small, and the Frankies are not stupid. You can see what the Jin Dynasty intends to do by looking at this posture, but the severe winter, and the coastal weather is particularly cold this year. The ground was covered with ice, and the enemy ships sailed halfway, but they couldn't get through. They fired a few cannons and they were like meat buns beating dogs. It will take time to break the ice.

The Frankies looked at the fuzzy Haizhou from a distance and cursed, and finally had to return for food and fodder.

The weather is an unstable factor. Although it is a barrier at this time, it may turn into a knife edge to force yourself one day, so you can't take it lightly.Bo Yu has already taken orders, so he will step down from his position as the commander of the Luanyi Guard and go to Haizhou to lead the Haizhou Guard and prepare for the battle.

All in all, the war in Haizhou can be delayed for a while, and the most urgent task is how to deal with Tianshi.

Therefore, Yuan Bi appeared in front of Tang Yu again.He is no longer the cunning and traitor he was when he was in the Baoguo Temple. He has made great achievements, but now he is frowning and his beard is mostly gray.

There is a drawing on the case, which was jointly drawn by the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Academy.The map of Jinling, the capital of the former dynasty, how the city is laid out, how many gates, how many squares, how many rivers, how many bridges, where the dignitaries live together, where the common people are distributed...these are all outlined in detail .

Since this map is from the previous dynasty, it naturally does not show the location of the Yan family in Jinling.

Tang Yi held the imperial brush in his hand, dipped a little cinnabar, and painted a color in a residence adjacent to the imperial palace.She looked at this color for a long time, as if a beautiful picture scroll was unfolding in front of her eyes, she was immersed in it, with a natural smile on her lips, bright eyes, very beautiful.

After a while, Tang Yu put down his pen, looked at Yuan Bi lightly, and teased him: "You have gained both fame and fortune, so who are you afraid of?"

Yuan Bi's expression was slightly stagnant, and he managed to squeeze out a smile. He argued, "As the saying goes, 'people's words can be feared', how could your majesty not know it? Walking in the middle of Beijing recently, many people pointed at the poor and insulted me. He is a bull-nosed Taoist priest who talks nonsense to confuse the crowd..."

Tang Yu interrupted him: "Could it be? Which sentence is false?"

Yuan Bi: "..."

This way doesn't work, so I have to go another way.

Yuan Bi shook his heart, and said bluntly: "It is fortunate that I have not disgraceed my life. Pindao has done what should be done. Pindao has not got involved in what should not be done. I only hope that Your Majesty will fulfill the original promise. Although Pindao doesn't want to Contaminated with vulgar things such as official hats, I hope to return home with an empty title and brocade, so that I will not worry about food and clothing in the future."

While talking, Tang Yu paced to the window and looked up at the paint-splashed night.There is snow this night, and at the end of winter, light snow often falls silently after nightfall and melts away the next day.

Seeing her like this, Yuan Bi thought she was indifferent, so he hurriedly continued: "Poverty is also thinking of His Majesty. At this time, there have been rumors in the government and the public that it is only because the Queen Mother wants to move the capital, and His Majesty is filial, so he listened to her, alluding to the poor. The Tao is manipulated by His Majesty..."

"Where do you start with this?" Tang Yan asked with a smile. Her eyes had slowly turned from the night sky to a corner to the east, staring intently, as if waiting for something, "Everyone in Chang'an knows that I have never met you before. She I once wanted to recommend you to me, but unexpectedly you entered the capital with the treasure first."

Yuan Bi was speechless, and couldn't help admiring in his heart, although the emperor in front of him was young, but he had a deep heart, how to calculate people's hearts and how to put aside his own participation, she thought clearly.

In fact, Yuan Bi just wanted to receive a generous reward earlier, so he stayed away from the court earlier.He is good at inventing huge stones, heavenly books and divine turtles out of thin air. When it comes to intrigue, how can he be the opponent of these old fritters in the officialdom.

After pondering for a while, after finishing the manuscript, Yuan Bi wanted to speak again, but suddenly heard the urgent and high-pitched voice of the servant outside the door: "It's flooded! Fengxian Palace is flooded! Hurry up—I'll report it to Your Majesty first." , and fetch water quickly!"

The window was wide open, and the waiter's voice fell, Yuan Bi saw the sky above the east side of the palace, the fire was visible, and thick smoke billowed up again, the fire was probably not small.The palace is made of wood, so it is not uncommon for water to leak during dry summer or during thunder and lightning, but it is winter now!It's still snowing outside the hall, how can Hao Duan Duan get out of the water?

Could it be... Could it be that it was a punishment from God?

After Yuan Bi guessed like this, a servant opened the door to report.

After hearing this, Tang Yu turned around quickly, while arranging everything in an orderly manner, while walking out in a hurry, his expression was also very nervous and panicked.

Yuan Bi didn't realize everything until the hall was empty and he stared blankly at the two doors opening and closing in the cold wind.Can't help but sigh——

This emperor is so good at acting!

The fire was extinguished in time, and the Fengxian Hall was not damaged much, but it still needs to be repaired.

In the early morning of the next day, when this matter was mentioned, the hall fell into a deathly silence.Everyone thought it was a punishment from heaven, but no one dared to say it. After all, no one could guarantee that there would be no disasters if the capital was moved to Jinling. Jinling's feng shui dragon veins may not be cured by a single stone.

The two sides were in a dilemma. When the early court was about to disperse, a minister suddenly came out and held a wat and said respectfully: "I ask your majesty to move the capital to Jinling and build a Ming hall to suppress the sky and stones to drive away evil spirits."

After a while of silence, several ministers seconded the proposal.

The ministers who refuted the theory of moving the capital looked at each other a few times, and they all shook their heads and sighed, stomping their feet in resentment, but they couldn't come up with a firm statement to refute.

After this battle, I'm afraid the outcome has already been decided.

The renovation and renovation of Weiyang Palace is coming to an end, around the beginning of spring, the Empress Dowager will move back.

Today, it still lives in Changle Hall.

On the third day of next month, there will be the pro-government ceremony planned by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.During the grand ceremony, the emperor needs to wear a new crown uniform, and the empress dowager also needs to wear a new Zhai garment. The clothes are sewn and put on the table.

The queen mother slowly touched the clothes, the silky texture and tight stitches all showed the ingenuity of the person who sewed the clothes.But unfortunately, the fabric is already a bit old.This robe was sewn by herself a few years ago. At that time, she knew that she would soon lose her sight.

Because it is difficult to predict when she will lose her sight, she sewed the clothes early and stored them in the cabinet.Now it is taken out, although the skill is not inferior to the palace, but the fabric is not new after all, let alone whether the length is suitable.

As for his Zhai clothes...

Her slender and white fingers landed on the newly made Zhai clothes, and she stroked the Zhai bird embroidered on it, gradually exerting force until the patterns were wrinkled, as if she was struggling for something.

The queen mother sighed silently in her heart, and relaxed her hand as if she made up her mind.She lowered her eyes and narrowed her eyebrows, her fine eyelashes trembling slightly.Suddenly, she heard the footsteps of the palace people coming out of the palace, and felt that there seemed to be someone in front of her.

Tang Yin screened away all the palace people, and after the palace door was closed, he couldn't help but kissed the empress dowager's smooth and plump forehead.

Although she is like this every day, the queen mother is not used to it yet, but she can't resist it. She just shrank back slightly and said with a smile: "What's the matter with you? Good news from Haizhou?" Even if you can't see it, you can feel her The joy of the mood, presumably those peach blossom eyes are bent into crescents with a smile.

Tang Yu looked at her, gathered her hair from the sideburns behind her ears, and supported her face with both hands, her pair of starry eyes filled with the joy of getting what she wished, overflowed and turned into gentle words of love.

"Well, good news."

After saying that, she leaned over and kissed her thin lips, while kissing, said vaguely: "I've wanted to do this for you for a long time, and now I finally do it."

——"Mother, I'm going to take you home."
