They walked along the way, and the workers stood on both sides of the avenue, all knelt on the ground, bowing to the emperor and the imperial concubine.

Soon, Zhu Feng took the ministers to the shed and sat down.

And Nanyan naturally sat next to him.

Looking at the ministers around her, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She put her hands under the table and sweated slightly in her palms.

At this time, a hand reached out and held her hand.

Nanyan looked up and looked at Zhu Feng, but saw that he did not look at him, his eyes were just looking forward firmly. Following his gaze, all the ministers also looked forward.

It was the city wall hit by lightning.

The big hole that was pitch black, as if burned by fire, made people frightened, and some blood could even be seen on the wall.

It should be left by the injured workers.

At this time, Gu Tingqiu walked over and said, "Emperor."

Zhu Feng looked at him, then looked at the workers kneeling around him, and said calmly: "Sir Gu, what are you doing today?"

Gu Tingqiu said: "According to the emperor's will, the workers who were injured by the collapsed city wall have been sent for treatment. Today, we are asking them to clean up the bricks and stones that were shot down by lightning."

Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Let them continue, don't have to wait here."

"yes."

After saying that, Gu Tingqiu turned around and passed the message below.

After a while, the sound of workers digging bricks and stones sounded under the city wall that was struck by lightning.

A minister said, "Your Majesty, this place is the city wall that was struck by lightning that night."

Zhu Feng nodded.

Everyone couldn't help but whisper and talked a lot

"It's so dangerous."

"Yes, this time it's okay, not in the city."

"If we are in a crowded place, we are afraid that more people will be killed or injured. How can we explain to the people at that time?"

The Minister of Rites raised his hand to Zhu Feng and said, "The emperor brought the ministers here, and the ministers also came. I was so sad to see this scene. Now, I only ask the emperor to obey the will of heaven, and be able to give up building the Beiping City, and to restore peace to the people."

Zhu Feng waved calmly, and Xiao Shunzi immediately came over and was served tea by him.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Can you think that the people of Peking are uneasy?"

Everyone looked at each other.

He immediately said: "Of course."

Zhu Feng said: "Indeed, I have been the King of Yan in Peking for more than ten years. I also know very well that the lives of the people in Peking are extremely uneasy. Do you know, who brought this uneasy to them?"

“…”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

But before they could speak, Zhu Feng said, "In fact, I shouldn't ask you about this question, because you were all born and raised in the south."

“…”

"What you see is the prosperity and stability of Jinling City."

“…”

"You can't imagine how much life the people of Peking live in this place. Just a few years ago, the cavalry of the country returned to the border from time to time to burn, kill and loot. They plundered iron tools, plundered food, and even plundered the people of Peking."

“…”

"I'm afraid you haven't lived this kind of life."

The ministers' faces became a little ugly.

Indeed, they were all officials from the south and never knew what life was like in the north, nor did they know what the people living in border cities were experiencing.

These are not within their considerations.

Immediately, the inspector and the censor said: "Emperor, Peiping is located on the border and is often disturbed by enemy countries. This is also common. But what the ministers are going to say now is the city wall."

Zhu Feng said: "What I want to say is also the city wall."

“…”

"Building a city is to strengthen defenses and protect these ordinary people."

Immediately, the people from the Ministry of Revenue stood up and said, "But Master, even if you want to strengthen the fortifications, you don't have to build such a large city!"

"Why can't it?"

Zhu Feng looked at them: "Actually, I don't know if it's to strengthen the fortifications. I also plan to trade with the Western Regions and open up the road to the west. Therefore, expanding the city in Peiping is also for the future plans."

Speaking of this, the faces of the ministers below changed a little.

After a long silence, the Censor Li Ziyun stood up and said to Zhu Feng: "Emperor, since you have said this, the empress dared to ask the emperor if he insisted on moving the capital?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes.

Nan Yan's heart also sank violently.

In fact, she had already felt it vaguely since Zhu Feng first proposed to build a Beiping City, including some of his later ideas about the future.

He wants to move the capital.

After all, Jinling is not the sphere of his power, but the one he fought over the river.

He has been the King of Yan for more than ten years, and his power and connections are still in the north.

Therefore, taking Jinling as the capital is not a long-term solution after all!

However, although everyone could feel this matter in their hearts, no one had ever asked it so clearly. After all, they were afraid that once they asked it, they would be a warning and it would be difficult to turn things around.

Zhu Feng raised his eyes and looked at Li Ziyun.

He looked at the ministers around him who were heavy-faced and could not hold back.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Since Lord Li has asked this, I might as well be honest with all the ministers."

“…”

"That's right, I built the capital because I wanted to move the capital."

As soon as he heard this, all the ministers around him stood up, and they walked to Zhu Feng together and knelt down together.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, moving the capital is related to the foundation of the country, so don't say it lightly!"

"Please take back your life!"

The Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor knelt on the ground, took a few steps forward one after another, and said, "Emperor, this disaster has fallen from heaven is to warn the emperor. Build a Beiping City, which is ominous! Moving the capital is ominous!"

Suddenly, everyone around him shouted: "It's ominous to move the capital!"

"Moving the capital is ominous!"

...

Listening to the constant shouts of the ministers, Nan Yan's heartbeat became more and more violent.

But she still tried her best to control herself and not panic.

Because at this time, Zhu Feng had not even shown any anger clearly.

He just looked at these ministers coldly.

The ministers were already kowtowing on the ground, in great pain: "If the emperor insists on his own, he will definitely move the capital. If the ministers and others are the only ones who die!"

At this moment, the workers who were digging the pile of ruins on the other side also shouted.
