Chapter 168: It's definitely not good

Lao Zhu wanted to transfer Jiang Yan back to the capital, and asked Li Jie about his opinion on Jiang Yan. Of course, Li Jie took the opportunity to praise Jiang Yan for a few words. Yu Privately, Jiang Yan had a good relationship with Li Jie. Yu Gong and Mao Xiang were injured in the commander of the Jinyiwei for many years, and they had offended many people. It was time to take off the grind and kill the donkey.

However, after hearing Li Jie's evaluation of Jiang Yin, Lao Zhu did not express his opinion. Instead, he pondered for a moment and suddenly changed the subject. When asked about Li Jie's situation in Goryeo and Japan, Li Jie also answered one by one and explained the situation of the two countries in detail, which made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son look satisfied.

After Li Jie finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked, "What do you think about the movement of the capital?"

Li Jie felt a little nervous when he heard this. The reason why he was so anxious to return to Beijing was to move the capital, so he saw him pondering for a moment before stepping forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that although Jinling is prosperous, it is located in the south and far away from the northern border. For the Ming Dynasty, the most direct threat comes from the northern grasslands, so moving the capital is also imperative!"

Old Zhu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this and said, "Yes, I think so too. When I didn't want to move the capital before, many people advised me to move the capital. Later, when I wanted to move the capital, these people strongly opposed it. Now, there are no ones who oppose it. Finally, we can think about moving the capital well!"

Li Jie was stunned when he heard Lao Zhu's words, and then suddenly woke up. The amount of information revealed in Lao Zhu's words was quite large. Lao Zhu had considered moving the capital to Fengyang, but the nobles in Huaixi were also cheering. After all, everyone wanted to set up the capital in their hometown? So he kept urging to move the capital, but was later stopped by Liu Bowen.

However, when Lao Zhu considered moving the capital to the north, he was opposed by many people. Many of them were from Huaixi? But now these Huaixi nobles died, were demoted, and the living were sent to their hometowns. No one in the court dared to oppose Lao Zhu's decision again.

"Your Majesty, although moving the capital is imperative, it is related to the foundation of the country after all. You must not move lightly, everything needs to be discussed for a long time!" Li Jie advised again at this time, and then looked at Zhu Biao next to him. Even though he was separated by a thick winter clothes, he could see the fat on Zhu Biao's body. It is estimated that his weight is not much smaller than 300 kilograms.

"I have considered this a long time ago, so I recalled you. I plan to let you accompany the prince on a tour to Kaifeng, Luoyang and Chang'an to see which places are more suitable for the capital!" Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

In fact, Chang'an had been renamed Xi'an Prefecture at this time, but because Chang'an is so famous, the verbal name has not been changed yet. Only in the official documents of the government, the new name Xi'an Prefecture is used.

"Li Jie? Go back and prepare. I plan to leave after a while. Speaking of which, my second brother is in Chang'an. I haven't seen him for many years. I miss him very much. This time I can visit him!" Zhu Biao also said enthusiastically. He was also very excited about the patrol. After all, the prince can only stay in the capital and cannot go out easily.

"This..." Li Jie looked at Zhu Biao who was smiling but was speechless. Why do people in this era like to seek death so much? If Zhu Biao knew that he would not get sick after this tour and then die young, would he still be able to smile?

"What? Do you have different opinions on this?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Jie hesitating and immediately said unhappy. He had been considering moving the capital for many years, and even reopened the Hu Weiyong case for this and cleared all the obstacles. Naturally, he did not want to see anyone dared to oppose his decision again.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection to moving the capital, but now the north is already cold. When I come back, I feel the cold wind on the sea. His Royal Highness has always been in poor health. It is very hard to go out on the tour. In addition, the weather is cold, I am also worried about what problems will happen." Li Jie thought about it and finally persuaded carefully.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm in good health!" Zhu Biao hurriedly argued for himself when he heard this.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Biao a blank look. As his father, he certainly knew that Zhu Biao's health was not very good. He became prone to illness when the weather changed. Especially in recent years, he became sick at any time, which was worse than the health of an elderly person, so Li Jie also reminded him of his words.

Lao Zhu is not an emperor who is good at the deep palace. He wandered around when he was young, and even went to Henan at the farthest time. Although the winter there is not as cold as Chang'an, it is much colder than Nanjing. Zhu Biao has lived south of the Yangtze River since he was a child and has no idea of ​​the horror of winter in the north. With his body, he will definitely get sick when he is braved in the cold.

"Okay, then postpone the date of the tour until after the flowers bloom next spring!" Zhu Yuanzhang quickly made a decision.

"Father, I..." Zhu Biao wanted to argue at this time. He didn't think there was something wrong with his body. In his opinion, he was in his prime and was far from worrying about his health.

However, as soon as Zhu Biao said, he was interrupted by Old Zhu waved his hand and said, "Will I still not know if you are in good health? Do I want me to summon the imperial doctor and ask them to find a record of your diagnosis and treatment?"

"This..." Zhu Biao finally turned fat and blushed when he heard this. He has indeed become sick more frequently in recent years, and he cannot argue about this.

"Okay, Li Jie is also thinking about you. After all, you are the prince. Your physical condition is not your own business, but it is related to the welfare of the people of the world. You should pay attention to it in the future!" After Zhu Yuanzhang said that, he waved his hand and asked Zhu Biao, Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi to retreat. Since he made the decision, no one would allow anyone to change it, even the prince would not do it.

Zhu Biao knew his father's temper, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the Dongnuan Pavilion. However, as soon as he left the door, he immediately asked Li Jie with a calm face: "You boy have hard wings, and you dare to sue me in front of your father!"

"His highness, I'm doing it for your own good, too!" Li Jie said in great grievance. He did this to save Zhu Biao. As a result, Zhu Biao actually blamed himself for his fault.

"That can't be said that I'm in poor health, and I'm afraid of heat or cold. Winter in the north is the most suitable for me!" Zhu Biao certainly knew that Li Jie was doing it for his own good, but he still said stubbornly.

Li Jie looked at Zhu Biao's fat body speechlessly when he heard this. Anyone who is fat is afraid of heat. After all, the body has such thick fat and the heat cannot be dissipated. It will definitely be uncomfortable when the temperature is high. However, there is no heating in the north now, and it is not far from the Little Ice Age. The winter in the north is much colder than in later generations, and the air is very dry. As a southerner, Zhu Biao will definitely not be able to bear it when he goes to the north.

Of course, when northerners of this era come to the south, they will definitely not be able to withstand the humidity and heat in the south. Therefore, air conditioners are definitely one of the greatest inventions in human history and can be paralleled with flushing toilets.

"Father, Li Banju is also for your own good. And the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If you are not here, we will definitely miss you very much during the Chinese New Year!" At this time, Zhu Yunxiu next to him also hurriedly smooth things over.

Zhu Biao was not angry with Li Jie at first, but he was stubborn and refused to admit that he was in poor health, so he quickly calmed down. However, when he saw Li Jie standing in front of the door of the East Nuan Pavilion and not leaving, he asked curiously: "Why don't you leave?"

"This..." Li Jie hesitated for a moment before laughing, "I just remembered that there was something important that I forgot to report to Your Majesty, so you can go first!"

"Is important?" Zhu Biao looked at Li Jie after hearing this, and then said again, "Then I'll go back with you!"

"Oh! I suddenly remembered again. This matter is not that important. It is not too late to report to Your Majesty when I have the chance in the future!" Li Jie suddenly changed his words, and after saying that, he bowed to Zhu Biao and turned around and left the Donghunting Pavilion.

Looking at Li Jie's departure, Zhu Biao curled his lips and said, "This kid must have nothing good. He actually wants to see his father behind my back!"

"Maybe it's a private matter. Li Ban asked my sister on the way back. I guess he wanted to ask Grandpa the Emperor when he would marry his sister?" Zhu Yunsheng next to him interrupted cleverly.

"Don't you ask for my opinion when your sister gets married? Li Jie deliberately avoids me, it will definitely be fine!" Zhu Biao said to himself. He is in poor health but in a good mind.

"It seems that this is really the case!" Zhu Yunxiu nodded softly when he heard this. He was still too young and was far inferior to Zhu Biao and Li Jie in some things.

In fact, Zhu Biao guessed it right. Just after Li Jie left for a while, he came back secretly. When he saw that Zhu Biao at the door had left, Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to ask for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang in the warm-up pavilion was reviewing the memorials. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard that Li Jie was going back, but he still called Li Jie in.

After Li Jie quickly stepped into the warm room, before he could speak, Lao Zhu asked first: "Why are you back? Have you forgotten to tell me something?"

"Your Majesty is wise, but I didn't forget it, but I just didn't want to say it." Li Jie replied with a somewhat disgusting expression.

"Isn't it convenient to say?" Old Zhu looked as if he had seen through Li Jie's thoughts at once, and immediately curled his lips, "You don't want to ask about your marriage with Yuning, are you?"

"No, no, Your Majesty misunderstood. I'm not talking about this!" Li Jie hurriedly looked up and explained.

"What's that?" Old Zhu also showed an unexpected expression.
