Volume 10 Chapter 499
Chapter 499
After listening to Zhang Zhe's impassioned speech, Tang Yin was a little dumbfounded. He put the tea cup he just picked up back down and sighed secretly TXT download. I still underestimated the superstitious psychology of people in this era. In the hearts of most people, they believe in the national line, and Yancheng is undoubtedly the national line of Feng State, so moving the capital is like touching the lifeblood of some people. Son, and these people are the loyal and good ministers who are most loyal to Feng Kingdom.
Tang Yin thought about it for a long time, then he took a long breath and said to Zhang Zhe with a smile: "I understand what Mr. Zhang means, and I will consider it carefully. Mr. Zhang, please go back first!"
Zhang Zhe didn't want to leave now and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the person who tricked your Majesty into moving the capital is actually a vicious thief who brings disaster to the country and the people. Your Majesty, you must not underestimate him, let alone tolerate adultery. He must be severely punished and dealt with strictly according to law. To serve as a warning to others..."
The more he spoke, the uglier Tang Yin's face became. Ah San and Ah Si beside him couldn't stand it anymore. How could Zhang Zhe be so straight? He couldn't even observe words and expressions? Didn’t you see that the king’s face has turned blue? Afraid that Tang Yin might strangle Zhang Zhe to death if he continued to ramble, Ah San walked forward in good faith and said with an apologetic smile: "Master Zhang, the king is a little tired. The king will definitely handle this matter properly, Zhang Don’t worry, adults, go back quickly!”
Zhang Zhe still wanted to speak, but Ah San had already pulled him out with persuasion. As soon as Zhang Zhe was pulled away by Asan, Tang Yin, who was holding back his anger, slammed down the table and said angrily: "Ignorance! Extremely stupid! What is the lifeline of Dafeng? The lifeline of Fengguo will only be in the hands of Fengren, not tied to it. What a bullshit metropolis! I’m so angry..."
Tang Yin picked up the teacup, raised his head, and drank all the tea in the teacup. After breathing for a while, he turned back to Ah Si and said, "Ah Si, come to Zong Yuan."
In his opinion, Zhang Zhe doesn't understand his own thoughts, but Zong Yuan is the best at understanding people's hearts, and he will definitely support his decision. As a result, Tang Yin was wrong again. Zong Yuan, like Zhang Zhe, also opposed moving the capital.
Zongyuan was honest in front of Tang Yin and said truthfully: "Weichen bought hundreds of acres of land inside and outside Yancheng. At 500 taels of silver per mu, that is more than 100,000 taels of property, and it is also Weichen's entire property. Once If the capital is moved, the land purchased by Weichen will become worthless and all his money will be lost.”
His words also represent the psychology of a considerable number of people. Among the many ministers of the Feng Kingdom, which one has not placed all his property in Yancheng? What will happen to these assets if the capital is moved? Not only is it devalued, but it can’t be taken away.
Later, Tang Yin successively called for officials and generals such as Zhang Xin, Sikong Jianglu, Sikou Wangzuo, Zhang Xiu from Lingwu Academy, Lei Zhen from Duweiying, Gu Chong from Lieutenant's Mansion, Gu Chen's uncle and nephew, etc. The answers were roughly the same. Everyone believed that relocation was inappropriate. To put it mildly would cause unrest in people's hearts and make Feng people lose their cohesion. To put it more seriously would harm the national destiny of Feng Country and put Feng Country into an irreversible danger.
If only one or two people objected, Tang Yin could still forcefully implement the plan to move the capital, but all the ministers opposed it, and as a monarch, he felt powerless.
After the court dismissed in the morning, Tang Yin began to receive the summoned ministers one by one. He was busy until late at night. He gained nothing and was suffocating. He was not in the mood to have dinner, so he sat in the small garden near the room. Pacing back and forth.
At this moment, Ah San came over to report that Cai Gui wanted to see him. Cai Gui was not from Feng, but from Ning. It didn't mean much whether he supported or opposed the move of the capital, so Tang Yin didn't summon him. Now Tang Yin was in a bad mood. When he heard that Cai Gui was coming, he didn't think about it at first, but then he thought that Cai Gui had always been resourceful and might be able to give him some advice on moving the capital. Thinking of this, he raised his head to Asan and said, "Let him come over!" As he spoke, he walked to the pavilion in the center of the courtyard and sat down.
It didn't take long, and Cai Gui walked over quickly, led by Asan. When Tang Yin approached, he bowed and saluted and said, "I am here to see you, your Majesty!"
"Qi Yin waved his hand and motioned to the seat opposite him.
Cai Gui bowed again to thank him, and then sat down on the stone bench opposite Tang Yin. It's said to be sitting, but in fact it's just that the buttocks are stuck to the side. Sitting down is not as comfortable as standing!
He first asked: "We heard that someone was admonishing the king about moving the capital."
Tang Yin was amused and asked with a smile: "What? Mr. Cai is also here to persuade me not to move the capital, and to kill those who rebel?"
As soon as he heard the meaning between the lines of Tang Yin's words, Cai Gui had guessed what he meant, which was consistent with his judgment. He hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no! Weichen has absolutely no such intention."
Tang Yin talked to so many ministers about moving the capital, and the news had already spread among the ministers. It was not surprising that Cai Gui heard about it.
He specifically went to find out the opinions of the ministers summoned by Tang Yin, and received unanimous responses. The ministers were all opposed to it, and they also expressed their thoughts in front of the king. Through this, Cai Gui has basically concluded that the king actually supports moving the capital.
If the king is also opposed to moving the capital, there is no need to go to all the trouble to summon so many ministers. You only need to summon one or two important ministers. It is precisely because the king actually supports the move of the capital and does not get a satisfactory answer from the ministers that he keeps summoning them. Go on, hoping to hear like-minded voices.
If Zongyuan is good at understanding people's hearts, then Cai Gui is undoubtedly better. He was keenly aware that his opportunity to perform had come, so he went to the palace at night and asked to see Tang Yin.
"On the contrary, Wei Chen believes that moving the capital is the way to strengthen the country in line with development." Cai Gui said seriously.
"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up. It was really rare. After listening to the objections all day, he finally heard the voice of approval. It's a pity that Cai Gui is from Ning, and in Feng Kingdom's court, Feng talents are is the subject.
Tang Yin remained calm and asked Ah Si to prepare two cups of tea as if nothing had happened. Then he asked, "Why do you think moving the capital is feasible?" "
"Yancheng is located in the northeast. In the past, there was nothing wrong with it. But now our country's territory has nearly tripled, with large territories in the west and south. Now, Yancheng's location seems too remote and too remote. It is inconvenient. Moving the capital to the southwest will be more conducive to the court's control of Ningdi and Modi nearby, and it will also be more conducive to the stability of our country. As long as there is no internal chaos in our country, even if there is a powerful foreign enemy, it will not be able to defeat our country. "Cai Gui analyzed with a serious face.
Tang Yin nodded while listening. Cai Gui's words hit the point and hit his mark. After Cai Gui finished speaking, Tang Yin couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "What Mr. Cai said is reasonable, but many ministers don't think so!"
Cai Gui burst into laughter and asked, "Your Majesty, those who oppose moving the capital should all be Feng people?"
"That's right."
"Actually, this is easy to understand. Feng people have too deep feelings for Yancheng. Wei Chen can guarantee that in the hearts of most Feng people, the national line of our country is in Yancheng. Once we choose to move the capital, we will damage the national line and ourselves. Not to mention the fate of the country, many ministers have their property in Yancheng. Once the capital is moved, it will undoubtedly be like losing their fortune. Therefore, whether it is public or private, it is inevitable that the ministers will oppose it," Cai Gui analyzed calmly.
"Yes, in the eyes of many ministers, Yancheng is like a piece of heart that is difficult to let go of..." Tang Yin sighed sincerely, and then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Cai Gui. Tang Yin was no fool. Cai Guineng came late at night and said such words in front of him. It was definitely meaningless.
He stared at Cai Gui for a while, then asked with a smile: "Has Mr. Cai already made plans to move the capital?"
Cai Gui smiled indifferently and asked: "What does the king think is the biggest obstacle to moving the capital?"
Tang Yin rolled his eyes, thought about it seriously, and said, "People believe that Yancheng is the national bloodline of my Dafeng."
Cai Guida nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise. Our country's national blood and national destiny are tied to Yancheng. This is the most high-sounding reason to oppose moving the capital. As for the family property, it is a private matter after all and cannot be used as an objection. An excuse to move the capital." After a pause, he whispered: "If continuing to set the capital in Yancheng is like damaging the country's ties and its destiny, then moving the capital will be inevitable."
oh? Tang Yin didn't fully understand the meaning of Cai Gui's words. He said, "Let's talk about it in detail..."
Cai Gui looked left and right, then stood up, walked to Tang Yin, bent down, and whispered in his ear. Tang Yin's brows were knitted into a knot at first, but gradually, his frown relaxed. When Cai Gui finished speaking in his ear, Tang Yin's face showed a smile, he put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Okay ! It’s really a good idea! But...it’s not easy to get what Mr. Cai said!”
"Tia can make it." Cai Gui reminded in a low voice.
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "That's right! It seems that I have to send a secret envoy to Tia." As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Gui volunteered and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to Past!"
"this……"
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and must be kept secret. It is best for only the king and the minister to know about this matter. It is most appropriate for the minister to go there," Cai Gui said.
"Okay! Mr. Cai, I'll give you a hard trip this time." "It's hard work to do things for your Majesty!" Tang Yin was happy, patted Cai Gui on the shoulder and said, "If this thing comes true, I will I’ll make you a bachelor.”
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Cai Gui was shocked when he heard this. Without thinking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Yin. Before the matter was settled, Cai Gui began to thank Tang Yin. It seemed that he was already confident.
