Chapter 464 Chen Wanrong Is Going Back

Lu Chen naturally thought that setting up two courts would lead to the possibility of division, but for him, setting up two courts was just a transition.

After the transition period, the court in the capital will definitely be gradually abolished, and he will send his most trusted people to the capital, and station his most trusted troops in the capital.

Of course, the most important point is that he will also take his brothers and sisters to Yancheng, and he will not leave his brothers and sisters in the capital.

At that time, these officials who stay in the capital will not have any important things, they are equivalent to living in the capital and guarding the ancestral tombs for the Lu family.

Seeing that the ministers in the court did not continue the discussion, Lu Chen knew that they should have accepted his proposal in their hearts, so he continued: "After this relocation of the capital, it is possible to move back to the capital in the future. When I have finished what I want to do, I plan to build a new capital."

"My dear ministers, if you have no other opinions, you can directly raise them."

At this time, Situ Ce stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Northern Kingdom has something called a train, which can not only travel a thousand miles a day, but also does not need to stop to rest. I wonder if it is true?"

Lu Chen said: "It does exist. When you arrive in Anping City, you can directly take the train. It only takes one or two days for the train to go north from Anping City to Yancheng. "

Situ Ce said: "I suggest that after the capital is moved, a railway line should be built from Yancheng to Beijing. In this way, it will be more convenient for the people of Beijing to go north or the people of Yancheng to go south in the future."

Lu Chen said: "When I was in Qi State, I had already asked people to lay rails, and the train will be able to reach Beijing in less than a year."

Situ Ce said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

With the train as a means of transportation, the time from Yancheng to Beijing will be greatly shortened in the future. In this way, even if the capital is moved to Yancheng, Lu Chen can still firmly control the power of Beijing.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lu Chen said, "If no one has any other opinions, the relocation of the capital will be settled. After you leave the court today, each of you will write a memorial to the emperor, stating your thoughts on the relocation of the capital and whether you are willing to follow me to the north."

"I can assure you here that whether you follow me to the north is entirely up to your personal wishes, and I will not make things difficult for you. Even if you do not go north and stay in the capital, I will still arrange some things for you to do."

After hearing Lu Chen's assurance, the ministers said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Lu Chen actually intended to keep all the conservatives in the capital. These conservatives were not easy to kill. If the emperor killed people casually, others would not trust him in the future. Even if Lu Chen had absolute military power, he would not do anything recklessly. The emperor should pay attention to both kindness and power.

However, Lu Chen was a man who wanted to do big things. If he took the conservatives to the north, some future policies would be difficult to implement.

His team must be full of motivated officials. Most of the officials who stayed behind after the capital was moved were conservative officials. It was just right to leave these old-timers to guard the ancestral tombs.

At this time, Lu Chen asked, "I have finished my business. Do you have anything else to say?"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, most of the princes are now adults, and it is time for them to be enfeoffed."

Hearing this, the ministers felt nervous.

Although they all knew that the enfeoffment might not be carried out anymore, they still wanted to test Lu Chen.

Lu Chen glanced at the royal brothers standing in the hall and laughed in his heart. It seemed that they were still determined to escape and live freely without being controlled by him.

But he would not give them a chance.

Lu Chen then said: "You reminded me that I almost forgot one more thing."

"From now on, Daxia will abolish the feudal system and adopt the county system. From now on, the title will only retain the gold and silver treatment."

As soon as these words came out, the hall became extremely quiet in an instant. Several princes standing next to the ministers clenched their fists in an instant. They knew that Lu Chen was going to do this.

At this time, a conservative minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible. Enfeoffment is an ancestral system. How can it be abolished just like that?"

Lu Chen immediately said, "I already have ten children this year, but I am only in my twenties, and I can live for at least a thousand years. According to this calculation, when I die, I will have at least eight hundred descendants, if not a thousand."

"If my children have children, and my children's children have children, then will everyone be crowned king?"

"If everyone is crowned king, in less than a thousand years, Daxia will have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of princes. I am afraid that even if the lands of several major dynasties are counted, there will not be so many kings."

This...

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the ministers in the court were speechless. They couldn't help but think in their hearts, is the new emperor so fertile?

Isn't he already a master of martial arts? It stands to reason that the higher the martial arts realm, the more difficult it is to have children.

And the more martial artists you practice, the more you should abstain from sex. How come the new emperor has ten children this year?

Lu Chen continued, "Taizu had no choice but to implement the feudal system. He had no way to control all the land of Daxia, so he could only make him a king and let his children control it."

"But now is different from the past. Today's Daxia does not need vassal kings. I can still manage all the land. If one day in the future Daxia expands to the point where I can no longer manage it, I can consider enfeoffment at that time."

Lu Chen's words contain a lot of information. He is equivalent to telling the civil and military officials in the court that he wants to destroy other dynasties and expand the territory of Daxia.

After Lu Chen said so much, no minister continued to say anything. They also knew in their hearts that the abolition of the feudal system was already a general trend. In the future, the princes and grandchildren left by the late emperor would probably have a hard time.

Lu Chen glanced at the people in the hall at this time, and then said: "This matter is settled. Do you have anything else, my dear ministers?"

Then, another minister stood up and talked about the eldest prince. After the discussion of the eldest prince's affairs, the ministers raised a lot of things.

After all, it was Lu Chen's first day in court. Naturally, a lot of things have accumulated during this period, but there are many things that actually don't need him to deal with at all, but these ministers have to report them.

Lu Chen thought to himself that he would quickly move the capital to Yancheng, and then leave those things to Zhuge Chongguang.

Lu Chen's first court meeting lasted a whole day, and the ministers had lunch in Xuanzheng Hall at noon.

Lu Chen felt the hardship of being an emperor. Although the emperor held great power and had everything he wanted, there were really a lot of things to do.

Lu Chen suddenly wanted to be a tyrant and not care about anything.

Being an emperor is too tiring.

In the evening, after the court session, Lu Chen felt extremely tired. He was about to return to the palace when a maid came to Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Lu Chen saw at a glance that the maid was a maid from Fengxue Palace, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

The maid replied, "Mrs. Chen said she will return to Xuanyue Palace."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I know."

Then Lu Chen went to Chen Wanrong. (End of this chapter)
