Chapter 870

After Liu Bu returned to Nanjing, his family lived in the zhenshou mansion, but the office was indeed in the study in the imperial city.

In the past, Nanjing was the accompanying capital of Daming. There were a set of teams in Beijing, but there was no emperor.

Of course, most of those who were sent to Nanjing as officials were idle or used for rank transfer.

Among the six parts in Nanjing, only a few have real power, while others drink tea, brag and pass the time.

As for the imperial city's back palace, it seems a little neglected because there is no emperor. In the past, the imperial court would pull out a certain amount of money and food every year to repair it. However, when the imperial court is in trouble, it has no money, so it is impossible to send someone to build, decorate and maintain it here, because it costs money.

Even the imperial court's annual ceremony of offering sacrifices to Emperor Taizu Gao is getting worse and worse year by year.

When the country was prosperous, offering sacrifices to Emperor Taizu Gao was the most important activity in Nanjing City in a year. It cost at least more than 100000 liang of silver, and the scene was very grand.

But in recent years, after the financial collapse, they can only put out a few small dishes and a pot of wine. They are poorer than ordinary people, and they can't compare with offering sacrifices to Confucius.

The current palace is under repair. It can only be occupied after it has been renovated. Otherwise, Liu Bu will worry that the house will collapse on a rainy day.

There was a problem with the site selection of the Daming Palace that year. It was selected next to the Xuanwu Lake. Although it was fixed with huge stone piles, the foundation finally subsided. Although it was remedied, many places were flooded on rainy days, which was very inconvenient.

This is a palace that will be half flooded in the rainy season. Most parts of the palace can actually go boating, which means there is a lot of garbage and silt.

When they entered the palace, they were very excited and honored. After all, this is the place representing the highest power in the world.

But after I wanted to live, I found that it was a pit father. It was not a place to live at all. In addition to the symbolic significance, it could not live. The front was brilliant and the back was peeling and deserted. It was like donkey dung and eggs, but the surface was bright.

This makes them have to live in the Garrison for a while. If the Chinese army were not in a critical time, Liu Yuanqiao would have arranged people to build a new palace.

Even so, Liu Bu heard some rumors that his father had sent feng shui masters to make a new site selection and plan for the future palace.

However, this is limited by reality, because Liu Bu and others pointed out that the Liu family must rule the world. If the world cannot be unified, their whole family will have to be beheaded, and they can't go back to Laizhou.

Since the world is dominated, whether it is an appropriate practice to choose Nanjing as the imperial capital remains to be discussed.

In history, the imperial dynasty that chose Nanjing as the imperial capital seems to be relatively short-lived. The cow forced Ming Dynasty and the cow forced Zhu Yuanzhang can almost be called changing their life against the sky, but their rule time in Nanjing is also very short.

It can be said that it is the best in the south. If it is nationwide, it is not necessarily.

For example, it is now recognized that the center of the world is still in Yanjing.

This also makes Liu Bu and his son have an idea, if the world is dominated, whether to set Yanjing.

Liu Yuanqiao himself believes that Yanjing, where the capital is located, is following the old road of the Ming Dynasty, which means that the huge taxes, money and grain in the South can only be transported through the canal, which will cost a lot of money every year.

As early as that year, when Zhu Di moved his capital to Beiping, he was mainly to deal with Mobei Mongolia. After his son Renzong ascended the throne, he always wanted to return his capital to Nanjing, because he knew that only relying on Nanjing's taxes, money and food is the basis of national stability.

But renchong was short-lived and died before he made the trip.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty must be in Peiping. The emperor guarded the country's gate. At the same time, he also asked the whole south to do its best to support the north. Just transporting food to the North cost a lot of money and food.

In the eyes of pragmatic Liu Yuanqiao, this practice is very inappropriate, but Liu Yuanqiao can't make a decision.

It is generally accepted that after the end of the Tang Dynasty, the center and dragon vein of the world changed from northwest to North China, and those who got Yanjing got the world. According to the saying of geomantic omen, this is that the dragon vein of geomantic omen is here, and the emperor has to be here before he can comply with the destiny.

Moreover, the Liu family has the advantages of the Liu family. The advantage of the Liu family is that they have a huge shipping force, and their shipping business is also very developed.

Liu Yuanqiao and his son made a decision. If they can dominate the world and finally choose Beijing as the capital, they must change water transportation to sea transportation, so as to reduce the country's dependence on the canal and reduce the country's loss in this regard.

Of course, even if they promote sea transportation, they still have to continue water transportation, because in many inland cities, it is more convenient and labor-saving to transport money and grain to the canal hub and then to the north than the traditional manual transportation.

Liu Yuanqiao and his son argued over this issue, but they also laughed a little. That is, the world is uncertain, so they think about how to sit in the world. Now the top priority is to win the war in Shandong.

If they are defeated in the battle of Shandong, they don't have to worry about it at all. If they win the battle of Shandong, it will be a matter of course.

However, Liu Bu prefers to be in the north, because in later braided countries and republics, they all have their capital here.

From the perspective of Feng Shui, the dragon vein is here, the Universiade is here, and the destiny is there. Even if Liu Bu doesn't believe it, he can't stand others' trust. He should give others confidence.

Just as Liu Bu and his family were planning for the war in Shandong and the future Empire, another shocking news came from their home.

This is Liu Shi, his second aunt. When she was playing in the palace, she fell into the water and died.

Liu Bu was shocked when he heard the news. His two aunts, Liu Shi, always gave people a sense of self-discipline, low-key and cautious. There was nothing else except to concentrate on raising her daughter Liu Ying in her yard.

Liu Ying is the only daughter of the Liu family. She is a little girl carved with powder and jade. Everyone likes her very much. Liu Bu loves her very much. If she has anything good, she will send one to the room. In other words, it's better than being a father.

Liu Bu was very angry when he heard the news. His first reaction was conspiracy theory. When rich and noble women like them went out, there were many palace maids and bodyguards nearby.

With so many people waiting, can you fall into the water and die? It must be fishy.

Liu Bu doesn't care what others do outside, but someone put his hand in the house, which made Liu Bu very angry. He immediately ordered the National Security Bureau to investigate the matter. Anyone who dares to put his hand here will be cut off by him, and he also wants to know what the other party's purpose is and whether he missed the passenger car.

Knowing that Liu's position in the Liu family is not important at all. She has no rights at all. No one has any reason to harm her. Did she block the knife for others?

The other party's purpose may be Zheng zining, Chen Yuanyuan, or Kong.

Liu Bu summoned Zhou Hui from the National Security Bureau. Liu Bu said coldly, "Ben Shuai has an intuition that this matter is fishy. You must find out what's inside, no matter who is involved."

Zhou Hui said, "the marshal is indeed ordered by heaven and has an amazing intuition about danger. This matter is really fishy. As for what it is, it is not in his humble position."

Hearing what the other party said meant that Liu might have been hurt, and the NSA should have known and acquiesced, which made Liu Bu very angry. He said, "what do you mean?"

Although Zhou Hui knew that there would be no eavesdropping in Liu Bu's study, out of caution, he checked all around, closed the doors and windows, and whispered in Liu Bu's ear: "the internal guards of his Royal Highness the king did it. How dare we ministers interfere? Isn't this looking for death?"

Liu Bu was shocked to hear that his father sent someone to do it. His father was cruel to the enemy and generous to himself. Many people thought that when he ascended the throne, he would certainly grant Liu a imperial concubine and live alone in a palace, and Liu Ying would also be granted the title of princess. Who knows that he sent someone to kill his concubine on the eve of his accession to the throne. Is there another adultery?

Why did you do that? His third wife, Zhang Shi, committed adultery with Xu Jianqiang, that is, sold her and didn't kill her. What did Liu Shi commit, even working in Liu Yuanqiao and sending someone to kill her in person?

Liu Bu looked at Zhou Hui and said, "tell Ben Shuai everything you know. You can't miss a bit."

Zhou Hui said with a wry smile, "as ministers, how dare we check and supervise the affairs of the king's highness? Not only do we dare not check, but we don't even dare to ask. If the commander-in-chief doesn't ask in person, we just don't know anything. Pretending not to know about this matter is the best way. If the commander-in-chief knows, it's better to intervene or not to intervene?"

Liu Bu felt that there must be something fishy and dark about this matter. He said, "why don't you step down? Don't tell others about it. Ben Shuai will ask his highness in person."

If the second person did it, Liu Bu would find out. He would never allow it. Someone put his hand into his family, but since his father personally sent someone to do it, it's different.

Although Liu Yuanqiao is cruel and cruel, he also has a human side. He treats the people around him very well. Almost all people believe that after he ascends the throne, he will never massacre meritorious officials like emperor Taizu Gao. However, he is kind to others, but he hurts his own people. Why?

Liu Bu thought about the young Liu Ying. He lost his mother like this. He felt pity when he thought of the sad way she cried, but his instinct told him that he had better not intervene in this matter. He can't manage his father's affairs, which won't do him any good.
