Chapter 327: Moving the Capital (2)

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and Zhu Zhanji received a letter from Concubine Wang, saying that she had arrived in the capital.

At this time, the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Yikun Palace

"His Majesty has arrived." Not long after Concubine Wang sat down, she heard the announcement from outside and hurried out.

"Your Majesty." Zhu Di walked over quickly and supported her before Concubine Wang even had time to kneel down.

"No need to be so polite, just go in and talk." Zhu Di was very anxious. Although Zhu Zhanji had sent a letter a long time ago saying that mother and daughter were safe, Zhu Di still wanted to ask Concubine Wang who had seen the child.

Seeing how anxious he was, Concubine Wang smiled and followed him in, "You all stay outside."

Wang Jinghong was naturally very tactful and sent everyone away, "Stand further away."

"General Manager Wang, you said that the Imperial Concubine is really favored. It's only a short time now, and His Majesty is so anxious."

"You naughty boy, you can't control your mouth. Don't serve in front next time." Wang Jinghong slapped him.

"Yes, yes, I ate the wrong thing."

Inside the palace, Zhu Di couldn't wait to ask: "How is the child? Does he look like me?"

"Your Majesty, what you are asking is true. The child must look like the parents, not you. Besides, if she is just a little girl and looks like you, people might be scared away." When Concubine Wang heard this, her smile disappeared.

"How is it impossible? Agui looked like me when she was young. But girls do need to be more delicate, so what's the matter?" Zhu Di was almost dying of anxiety.

"Your Majesty, don't be so anxious. Listen to me, the child is fine, don't worry. Agui said that the child is still young and he is tired from the long journey. Besides, you didn't let anyone come back, so he will stay there for a while." Concubine Wang brought back Zhu Zhanji's words.

"Agui is very thoughtful. There is no rush to come back. Just go to Shuntian directly when the time comes. By the way, I have picked a few names. Take a look and write to Agui to ask him which one he likes." Zhu Di nodded.

"Okay, I was just going to write him a letter to let him know that I'm safe. Your Majesty, you don't know how cute our great-granddaughter is. If you saw her, you would definitely love her very much. If you were not in a hurry to move the capital, I would not want to come back, and I don't know when I could see my great-granddaughter again." Concubine Wang hadn't seen the child for so many days and missed her very much.

"The relocation is inevitable. Don't worry. When you see the child next time, the child will be older and more beautiful. It's fine if it's a girl. When I and the Queen had Yongping first, we had the Crown Prince. That was good enough."

"I thought Your Majesty would prefer a boy." After all, there is a throne to inherit in this family, who wouldn't want a boy first?

"There is no need to rush. Agui and the others are still young. Our children are all destined. They are all children of our Zhu family." Zhu Di said righteously.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you like children very much. Among your grandchildren, there is only Agui, whom you have taken care of since he was a child. There are only two great-grandchildren. You don't pay much attention to the Zhanqi family. You haven't even met Agui yet."

"I will be happy whether Agui gives birth to a boy or a girl. This is the first time Agui is a father, he must be so excited that he doesn't know what to do. Time flies so fast. Thinking back to that time when Agui was just born, I was holding him in my arms with a heroic look on his face. I knew that this child would achieve great things in the future. So many years have passed, and he even has a child." Zhu Di said with emotion.

"Your Majesty is so blessed to have four generations living under the same roof. This is Agui's first time, so he is naturally very excited. He also feels sorry for Shanxiang and has been with her all the time. The two of them have a very good relationship. Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not." Concubine Wang said.

"You can talk like this, just say whatever you want to say." Zhu Di didn't like people talking like this.

"Agui and Shanxiang have a good relationship. I think there is no room for others between the two of them. I think Your Majesty should not add anyone to Agui's courtyard in the future."

"Except for the Crown Prince's Consort, I don't care about the rest. Let the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess worry about it." Zhu Di only chose Hu Shanxiang, Zhu Zhanji's legal wife, to intervene. He didn't care about the rest.

"I feel relieved with your Majesty's words." Concubine Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I feel relieved knowing that they are all fine. Now that you are back, we should put the relocation of the capital on the agenda."

On the second day, Zhu Di asked someone to look at the date and determine the time for moving the capital. At the grand court meeting, Zhu Di notified everyone.

The ministers naturally wanted to object, but Zhu Di had been preparing for the relocation of the capital for so many years that he naturally would not allow any opposing voices to arise. Moreover, the opposing voices had already been dealt with when the idea of ​​relocating the capital was first proposed.

Although those who stayed behind were still unwilling in their hearts, they no longer said anything on the surface. They just didn't expect that after so many years of delay, the capital would really have to be moved. Naturally, everyone was reluctant to leave their hometown and go to the new capital.

"Your Majesty, it is winter now. The journey to move the capital is long. I am afraid..."

"I have already made up my mind. If you keep saying anything, we will set off immediately. It has been delayed for so many years. Everything has been ready in Shuntian. Besides, we will set off in February. The weather will be warmer by then. Stop making excuses." Zhu Di interrupted him immediately. He had heard all kinds of reasons and excuses countless times since he first mentioned the idea of ​​moving the capital. Many people said that he was violating the foundation of his ancestors, and even worse, some said that blood would be shed within three steps. Now that it has come to this, he will not allow any obstruction.

The ministers also understood that they really had to leave this time, and it was not a matter of discussion as before. Everyone could only prepare and pack up to leave their homeland.

After the morning court session ended today, the ministers went home in silence.

At this time, it was Hu's house.

"Master, has something happened? You've been back for most of the day and haven't said a word. Have you been demoted again? If it really is something like that, we're not afraid. We've been through everything and it will all pass." Aunt Liu said.

Madam Hu glared at him, "What are you talking about? You can't speak, so don't speak. What's the status of the master now? How could he be demoted? Okay, nothing else, go back to the yard."

"It's nothing big, there's no harm in telling you, but His Majesty has determined the time for moving the capital today, and we have to pack up and go to Shuntian." Hu Rong said, rubbing his temple.

"Ah, moving the capital, then we all have to go?" asked Aunt Liu.

"That's natural."

"Well, are Shanji and the others going with you?" asked Aunt Liu.

"It depends on the arrangements. Although the capital has been moved, there are still officials left in Yingtian Prefecture, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here?" Hu Rong said.

“What? They were transferred to the capital with great difficulty, and now they are moving the capital again. They may not even go together. This is really…” Aunt Liu was disappointed when she heard that her daughter might not go with her. May the Buddha bless her and let her daughter and son-in-law go together.

"Then what is the master worried about?" Mrs. Hu looked at Hu Rong with a worried look on her face. If it was just moving the capital, it would not be a big deal for their family. After all, they were used to moving.

"Madam is really insightful. Firstly, we are moving the capital with His Majesty, and we don't know when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come back. You said that if we leave at that time, Shuntian will be even farther away from Zhongdu. Also, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not come back, and Hu An and the others are his young soldiers. I'm afraid they will have to stay in Yingtian for a while. Our family will be separated into three places. Alas." Hu Rong felt more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it.

"The Crown Prince will come back sooner or later. His Majesty likes him and will definitely let him go to Shuntian. Master, don't be too sad." Although Mrs. Hu was reluctant to leave her children, she had to put the overall situation first. Besides, the children had grown up and would leave their parents sooner or later. Compared with this matter, she was more worried about another thing, which was that according to the date, Shanxiang should give birth, and she didn't know whether she should pay her respects. Alas, God bless Shanxiang, everything is fine.

"You're right. There's no point worrying now. Okay, you make all the arrangements and we'll go to Shuntian when the time comes." Hu Rong thought about it for a long time and finally figured it out.

"Yes, don't worry, sir."

Aunt Liu wanted to say something but was stopped by Madam Hu.
