Chapter 76 Moving the Capital (1)

. "The father is still in Chuxiu Palace. Could it be those beautiful girls-" When I thought that the assassin mentioned in the paper ball might be those beautiful girls, I really felt anxious.

I ran all the way to Chuxiu Palace, but I didn't dare to pause at all. When I came to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, I had some bad premonitions because I found that the gate was actually covered and there was no sound inside.

In an instant, I was facing a dilemma in my heart. Should I rush into the main hall immediately? If I don’t rush in, I’m afraid that my father would really encounter an assassin. But if I rush in, I’m worried that if my father is "running into the room", wouldn’t he have broken his good things?

At the critical moment, I thought for a moment, and finally gritted my teeth and no longer cared about anything else. I pushed the door open and rushed into the main hall. The door of the hall opened. The first scene that caught my eye was that my father was talking to a beautiful girl. Behind my father, a middle-aged eunuch held a dagger in his hand and raised it high behind his father, and then acted to insert it. My father and the beautiful girl were not aware of it at all.

"Assince there was an assassin!" My heart pounded, and I quickly grabbed the jade pendant from my waist, and threw it at the eunuch after using enough energy.

In that moment, time seemed to have stopped. The father looked up and saw me, and the girl saw me, and behind the two of them, the dagger in the eunuch's hand penetrated into the father's spine even more quickly...

"Bang"

My jade pendant was faster than the eunuch's dagger. The jade pendant hit the eunuch's hand accurately. In desperation, I filled almost all my true energy. Not only did the dagger in the eunuch's hand fly out, but it also made him shocked and he fell to the ground.

After a sudden change, my father and the girl didn't understand what was going on. I had already jumped in front of them a few steps, and the eunuch who had fallen stood up again and roared at his father.

My father is a man who has experienced many troubles. Although he still doesn't know the whole story, he can make a quick decision to avoid the eunuch and lean towards me.

The eunuch didn't seem to have much skill in his body. I rushed to him and tried only two or three times to control him and seal his acupoints.

The father came to his senses and realized that the eunuch was going to assassinate. He pointed at the eunuch in anger and cursed: "Zhao Dequan, tell me. I have treated you badly. You actually want to kill me today."

Although the eunuch named Zhao Dequan could not move, he could still speak and said, "You traitor who plotted to usurp the throne, everyone will be punished!"

The father showed an incredible expression, looked at Zhao Dequan up and down, and said, "When I was in the palace, you were by my side. Later, I left you behind when I arrived in Yanjing. After I ascended the throne, I remembered my past love and asked you to serve me by my side. How could I feel sorry for you? But you... can you be up to me?"

Zhao Dequan smiled and said, "I am loyal to Taizu. He passed the throne to Master Jianwen. Then I am Master Jianwen's slave. You are not a traitor, not the emperor!" While speaking, Zhao Dequan shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he was already a little crazy.

At this time, I didn't dare to speak much. I stepped forward and twisted Zhao Dequan's chin away, making him unable to speak the ruthless words anymore.

The father walked back and forth with a blue face, vaguely saying, "Damn it, damn it, damn it..." In less than a while, many guards who were originally distributed near the hall rushed over.

"Emperor, I am late to protect you. Please forgive me." Qiu Guang, the head of the Forbidden Palace guard, came to his father's land. This situation scared him to death and immediately kowtowed in front of his father.

The father was in anger and kicked Qiu Guang in the face with his feet and cursed: "You deserve to die too. If Chang Luo hadn't been here today, wouldn't I have died in vain?"

As soon as these words were said, Qiu Guang's face changed drastically, and his head hit the ground with a "bang dong dong" and kept calling out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

I looked at Qiu Guang's appearance and remembered that he was the leader of the guards of the Forbidden Palace. After a moment of emotion, I knelt down and pleaded for him and said, "Father, this matter is not done by Qiu Guang, so I will spare him this time!"

After experiencing my rescue, my father was the most trustworthy person at this time. After hearing what I said, his face cleared slightly in the hall and waved to Qiu Guang and said, "Okay, King Rui pleads for you today. Then I will spare you once. You will push this person out and kill him, and hang your head in front of the Xihua Palace, so that everyone will know the consequences of assassination." The Xihua Palace is the place where the maids and eunuchs stay. I know that the father is actually trying to establish his authority.

After the incident of assassination, my father asked me to accompany him back to the bedroom all the way. It seemed that this time he was really frightened. I accompanied my father to say something in his bedroom for a while. The eldest brother, third brother, fifth brother and eighteenth brother who rushed to the hall after hearing the news also walked into the hall. Except for the brothers and sisters who are still in Yanjing, all the people who should come have come.

I briefly told the things that happened before, and said that I suddenly woke up and wanted to tell my father something. So I returned to save my father halfway through, and then everyone knew the whole story.

After hearing what I said, my father thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about something in my heart, but I can't make up my mind until this happened today, and I finally made a decision."

My father's tone when he spoke was very solemn, which made me jump unconsciously. I felt that something was about to happen, so I hurriedly asked: "Father, don't you know what's going on?"

"I want to move the capital and move the capital to Yanjing!"

"What?" almost spoke in unison, and we all exclaimed in surprise.

"I didn't expect my father to want to move the capital." This really surprised me. Afterwards, I felt my mind was in a mess and I didn't know how to deal with this sudden incident.

"I think Yingtian is not as good as our Yanjing no matter what. Only in Yanjing can I feel at ease!" The father sighed lightly and continued to explain the reason for moving the capital to me. "Yingtian is where I have lived for most of my life. I have worked hard there for so many years. The people and people there are all facing me. On the contrary, Yingtian has been lurking with all his extra evils, which is really unfavorable to the court. Therefore, I have always wanted to move the capital, but I have not made up my mind for a long time."

I listened carefully to my father's words, and finally gradually understood the reason why my father wanted to move the capital. You must know that compared with Yanjing, Yanjing was the real territory of his father, and the foundation he established there was definitely not something Yingtian could compare with. After experiencing this assassination, the father probably saw the "disadvantages" of establishing the capital Yingtian, so he decided to move the capital.

Although my father's words made me understand his intentions, but I, who was familiar with history books, saw the disadvantages of establishing the capital Yanjing, and hurriedly knelt down and said to my father: "Father, my son-in-law thinks that moving the capital must be cautious. We should go to the court first and let the ministers and workers discuss it."

The father shook his head and said, "I have decided now, so there is no need to discuss it."

After hearing what my father said, I still dared not give up and continued: "Father, although Yanjing is the basic place where my father has been in charge for many years, it is too far from the north and close to the desert, so it is really not suitable for the capital. Now my Great Wu is strong and strong. If one day my Great Wu army is a little inferior, I am afraid that I will suffer from border troubles, which will put the capital in a place of battle."

My words made my father slightly stunned. He thought for a while and said, "You are a conspiracy for the country. When I first wanted to move the capital, I asked Yao Guangxiao. He also said like you, and advised me not to move the capital to Yanjing." After sighing softly, the father continued, "It's just that there are some trade-offs. Today's affairs really make me unable to sleep or eat in the future. I'm afraid it's impossible not to move the capital."

"Father--" I will continue to persuade my father, but the fifth brother next to me suddenly interrupted: "Father, I think it is a good idea to move the capital to Yanjing. Once the father issues the imperial edict to move the capital, it will allow the world to see the spirit of the father and let everyone know that the father's determination to completely defeat the people in the north is beneficial or harmless."

As soon as the fifth brother finished speaking, the third brother's voice began to follow: "The father and son also think that moving the capital to Yanjing is a good idea. The father has a deep foundation in Yanjing, so he must be better than Yingtian when he sets the capital."

I frowned and looked at the third brother and fifth brother who were so unanimous. After a little change of mind, I already understood the thoughts of them. They had never left Yanjing and naturally had a certain amount of power in Yanjing. If the father could establish the capital of Yanjing, it would be very beneficial to their future struggle for the throne, so they would want their father to move the capital so unanimously.

After understanding their words, I felt that if I continued to insist on not moving the capital, it would seem to be traces, which would make my father think that I opposed moving the capital in order to fight for the throne in the future, so I had to keep silent.

My father glanced at me, with a hint of apology in his eyes and said, "You all get up. I will plan to read these things tomorrow to the court, and then I will handle the matter of moving the capital!"
