In the East Warehouse of the Forbidden City, Zhu Yuanzhang handed the Jinyiwei's urgent report to his son Zhu Biao. After Zhu Biao finished reading it, he asked, "What do you think?"

"Good thing, I didn't expect that Li Jie was quite capable. He convinced Zhang Dingbian and asked them to help find the Japanese pirates. We just need to call Chen Li back and improve his treatment. This is simply a business without any money!" Zhu Biao praised loudly at this time. He was becoming more and more satisfied with such a capable son-in-law.

"Good things are good things, but..." Zhu Yuanzhang was not as happy as Zhu Biao, but instead showed some worries.

"Father, what are you worried about?" Zhu Biao immediately asked when he saw his father's expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and then spoke: "Chen Youliang is my biggest opponent in my life. Even though he has been dead for so many years, he is still loyal to him by Zhang Dingbian. Now they exchange their merits for Chen Li to come back. Will they have any other plans in the future?"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly when he heard this. His father's suspicion was recurring, but he still patiently persuaded him: "Father, Zhang Dingbian and others are so old, even if they are willing, they are powerless. As for Chen Li, it is even more difficult to become a great man. Even his father Chen Youliang was defeated by his father, let alone him?"

When he heard his son's words, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and immediately said happily: "This is true. Chen Youliang had many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and was far better than me in terms of military strength, but he was still defeated by me. Not to mention his son, even if he was resurrected, he would probably be defeated again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words appeared to be boasting, but in fact they also exposed his fear of Chen Youliang. Even though so many years have passed, he could not help but feel a little scared when he looked back on the Poyang Lake War. It should be the most dangerous battle he had experienced in his life.

"I draft an order to summon Chen Li, the Marquis of Guide, and give him another house, and the salary must be paid on time. I hope Zhang Dingbian and others will not let me down!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally made a decision.

"Father is wise!" Zhu Biao was relieved when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward and bowed again.

However, when he said this, Zhu Biao suddenly thought of another thing. He hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Father, I heard that Li Cunyi and his son have been arrested and returned to the capital. I wonder how the trial is now?"

"What do you ask about this?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this. Since he restarted the Hu Weiyong case, Zhu Biao has disagreed with him, so he is unwilling to discuss with Zhu Biao as long as it is related to the case.

"This..." Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Biao, the Korean public and privately found me, hoping to plead for Li Cunyi. Please let it go for his sake..."

"Bang~" Before Zhu Biao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and said angrily, "He still has the face to plead with me?"

"Don't calm down! The brothers of Han and Li Cunyi are in deep love, so it is normal for him to plead for him!" Zhu Biao knew that his father would be angry, so he immediately spoke again.

"Hmph, I had already given him a chance ten years ago, but look at what he has done in the past ten years? It's only now that I remember to plead with mercy again!" Zhu Yuanzhang angrily slapped the table again and said.

"But my father..."

Zhu Bianben wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang again and said, "Okay, don't worry about this matter, I have my own plans!"

Zhu Biao was helpless when he heard this. He knew that his father would say this, but he blamed Li Shanchang for saying that. If he hadn't been so ignorant of advancing and retreating, why would things have become what they are now? Now that Li Cunyi was arrested, he finally panicked, and ended up looking for him. Unfortunately, this matter is no longer something he can interfere in now.

"By the way, someone in the court recently proposed a proposal to move the capital. What do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be afraid that Zhu Biao would be entangled again, so he changed the subject again.

"Move the capital?" Zhu Biao also showed a very complicated expression when he heard this.

Speaking of moving the capital, it has been a long history. Lao Zhu's ancestral home was in Jurong, and during this period he was under the jurisdiction of Jinling, so Lao Zhu was barely considered a native of Jinling. Moreover, he made his fortune by Jinling at the beginning. It can be said that Jinling is simply the blessing of Lao Zhu.

However, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu was very dissatisfied with the capital of Jinling. It can even be said that he was very picky and even decided to move the capital to his hometown Fengyang. After all, no matter how good his ancestral home is, his hometown Fengyang is where he lived since childhood.

Moving the capital to Fengyang is not Lao Zhu's whim. He even did this. Although Fengyang is just a small town, Lao Zhu is the emperor, so he asked someone to overhaul Fengyang City and moved the rich families in the world to Fengyang. Even Zhu Biao brought a group of brothers to live in Fengyang for several years. It can be said that Lao Zhu was fully prepared for moving the capital.

However, Lao Zhu was still too anxious. When building Fengyang City, the labor service was too tight, which caused the labor service to be entrusted. Finally, the "Yanzhen Law" incident occurred, that is, the labor service cursed Lao Zhu with Yanzhen. This incident had a great blow to Lao Zhu, because one of the main reasons for the demise of the Yuan Dynasty was that the labor service was too heavy, which made Lao Zhu begin to reflect on his mistakes.

Liu Bowen, who was deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, took this opportunity to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally let him dispel the idea of ​​moving the capital to Fengyang. However, Liu Bowen offended the nobles in Huaixi because of this. After all, most of them supported setting up the capital in their hometown, so Liu Bowen wisely resigned and returned home, but the cause of his death was still confusing.

"Father, why did you think of moving the capital again?" Zhu Biao pondered for a while, then asked carefully. The city was already full of storms when he moved the capital last time, Fengyang, so he was extremely cautious this time.

"I'm confused! Although Jinling is good, it's too far south. The biggest threat to our Ming Dynasty is in the north. If a war breaks out on the northern border, we will not receive the news at the earliest half a month. By then, the daylily will be cold!" Zhu Yuanzhang directly explained the reason for his move to the capital.

Zhu Biao was also stunned when he heard this. Compared to the last time he moved the capital to Fengyang, his father's reason for moving the capital this time was very sufficient, because he also knew that the biggest flaw of Nanjing was that it was too far from the northern border. It was not only because of inconvenience in news communication, but even over time, it was inevitable that the northern border troops would be in danger.

"Then Father, what do you mean?" Zhu Biao's attitude changed at this time, because he knew that his father was doing this for himself. With his father's prestige, of course he was not afraid of the rebellion of the northern border troops. But when he and even his descendants ascend the throne, they would not have the ability of their father and the prestige of their father, and they would have no chance of trouble sooner or later.

"I have also thought about it carefully these days. Chang'an, Luoyang and Kaifeng in the north were once the capital of a country. I have been there at the beginning. Although these three cities have long declined due to many years of war in the north, the foundation is still there, so if we move the capital, we can choose one of these three cities!" Zhu Yuanzhang slowly expressed his thoughts.

"These three are all good choices, but you can't choose all three, right?" Zhu Biao nodded first, and then said in a little embarrassed manner. He also felt that these three cities had their own advantages and disadvantages, and it was not easy to make a choice from them.

"Of course, you can't choose all three, but you can't be too hasty, so I plan to send someone to the three cities first. If possible, you will go there for me and see which one is more suitable for the capital?" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone became softer at the end.

Zhu Biao immediately understood his father's intentions. Moving the capital was originally planned for him and his descendants, so his father asked him to choose it himself, which was a test for him and also asked him to decide where to move the capital.

"My son is willing to go, but I don't know when my father plans to let me leave?" Zhu Biao agreed immediately.

"This matter is not urgent, and it needs long-term planning. In the early stage, I will send officials to inspect it first, and finally let you go in person!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a gentle smile at the end.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao didn't know that if Li Jie was here, they would definitely find a way to stop them, because Zhu Biao suddenly fell ill after inspecting Chang'an. When Zhu Biao died, he disrupted all the deployment of Lao Zhu. Zhu Yunwen was also promptly pushed to the throne. With his personality and the instigation of Huang Ziteng and others, the subsequent Jingnan Campaign was naturally the case.
