Chapter 164: The battle for moving the capital

Before long, Ruan Dacheng and Gu Yanwu and other high-level officials were summoned to discuss with the envoy of King Lu Qiu Zhaojin about moving the capital.

In fact, Qiu Zhaojin has been in Nanjing for a few days, and has not been received by Wu Changqing until now.

"Meet Wu Guogong, congratulations Wu Guogong will soon become King Wu."

Qiu Zhaojin said with emotion.

When he first met Wu Changqing, he once drew a big pie, saying that as long as Wu Changqing regains Nanjing, he can give him a king with a different surname.

At that time, he really just talked casually and didn't take it seriously. How can it be so easy to regain Nanjing.

Wherever I thought it was, Wu Changqing really did it in just over half a year.

This is really incredible, in addition to admiration, he still admires.

"Oh, did the court make an order?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"The imperial decree has been drawn up, and the decree can only be declared after Lu Jianguo returns to Nanjing and moves into the Forbidden City."

Zhu Yihai was astute, and he had to return to Nanjing before he was willing to issue the decree. It seemed that he wanted to use the throne to attract Wu Changqing to cooperate. As everyone knows, Wu Changqing dismissed this imaginary throne at all.

Even if you become a prince, does the court still have money to pay salaries?

To welcome Zhu Yihai back to Nanjing, I'm afraid I have to afford all the expenses in the palace. The expenses in the palace have always been expensive, and Wu Changqing is not willing to be taken advantage of.

"The Forbidden City has not been repaired for a long time, I am afraid it is not suitable for living in now."

Ruan Dacheng interjected.

The Forbidden City in Nanjing has gradually been abandoned since Zhu Di moved to Beijing. It has been abandoned for more than a hundred years, with only occasional maintenance.

It was not until Emperor Hongguang became the throne that it was simply renovated.

However, the Hongguang imperial court collapsed within a year without holding on to it. During this period, it could not even pay for the military expenses, let alone overhaul the palace.

Therefore, many parts of the Forbidden City in Nanjing now need to be repaired.

"I'm afraid Master Ruan has bothered a lot."

Qiu Zhaojin clasped his fist.

"I don't dare to say that it is fortunate to work for Lu Jianguo, but where did the money for repairs come from?"

Ruan Dacheng questioned, Qiu Zhaojin was very embarrassed to ask this question.

Originally, Zhu Yihai wanted to return to Nanjing, so naturally he had to pay for the repair of the palace. However, Zhu Yihai's only little private money was used to form the guards, and at this time, where did he pay for it?

"Well, Lu Jianguo means that only simple repairs are needed. The current situation is difficult, and Lu Jianguo dare not extravagantly waste. The wealth of Zhili to the south, simple repairs, this little money is just a trivial matter."

Qiu Zhaojin could only make Wu Changqing pay for it with a cheeky.

"Master Qiu's remarks are too much. Although Nanzhili is slightly richer, after the Manchu dynasty, the situation is not optimistic. Moreover, if our army wants to maintain the scale of more than 100,000 people, its military expenditure is very expensive. Massive figures. It is really not easy for our army to not ask the court for a share of military expenses. Now that we need to embezzle military expenses to repair the palace, I am afraid that the soldiers will not agree to it."

Ruan Dacheng continued to make things difficult for him. In short, he wanted to let Qiu Zhaojin retreat in the face of difficulties, not to mention letting Zhu Yihai return to Nanjing.

Qiu Zhaojin was speechless for what he said, because Ruan Dacheng was right.

For other armies to fight, the imperial court should allocate funds to raise their armies. Only the Wu army was self-sufficient from beginning to end and never asked the imperial court for money.

From this perspective alone, Wu Changqing's army is much better than Fang Guoan's army.

However, Qiu Zhaojin knew that Wu Changqing was rich, very rich, and he was not bad at repairing the palace.

Now two cement roads in Nanjing have been repaired. Although Qiu Zhaojin does not know the cost of that kind of cement, he knows that it is definitely not cheap because of the fact that it is not available for private individuals to buy cement on the market.

The money is so much that it can be used to build roads, and it is nothing to build a palace. Is the palace where the emperor lives important for the people’s journey?

"If Wu Guogong is really in trouble, this Qian Lu Jianguo will find a way to raise it."

Qiu Zhaojin was also lazily struggling with this expense. As long as Wu Changqing promised to prepare to meet King Lu, they could still find a way to collect the money for repairing the palace.

"This little money is a trivial matter. If Lu Jianguo is short of money, we can squeeze the soldiers and eat one less meal. But after King Lu returns to Nanjing, how should this cabinet be merged?"

It was Qian Taoli, the former governor of Suzhou, who is now a short general and was promoted to the Nanjing cabinet to participate in the decision-making of core affairs.

With such benefits, he is naturally devoted to Wu Changqing.

After trying to figure out that Wu Changqing did not want King Lu to return to his old capital, he also began to make things difficult for him.

As far as he is concerned, he also does not want King Lu to return.

Because King Lu returned, he would not come alone, but would bring the administrative team in Shaoxing.

In Shaoxing, they also have a cabinet. Zhang Guowei, Song Zhipu, Zhu Dadian, and Fang Fengnian all occupy several important book positions, and they are also cabinet ministers.

In terms of prestige, Gu Yanwu, Qian Taoli and the others couldn't compare with those people. When the two cabinets come together, they will definitely be merged, and he must be the one who is squeezed out.

After finally becoming a central institution, how could he resign himself willingly.

"This is supposed to be negotiated by both parties. Lu Jianguo's initial intention is that he hopes that Shaoxing will retain four positions and Wu Wang will retain three positions, and Wu Wang can lead the cabinet as the first assistant."

Qiu Zhaojin said that their compromise is actually very big, which means that Shaoxing's cabinet has to cut three people. Those who have been expelled from the cabinet must be upset.

The cabinet ministers in Shaoxing were unhappy, and several cabinet members on Wu Changqing's side were unhappy. They now have seven positions, and Wu Changqing is not included in them.

When King Lu returns, they only have three positions, and Wu Changqing will count as one. In this way, it is equivalent to only two positions on their side.

These two positions are most likely to be Ruan Dacheng and Gu Yanwu.

Several other cabinet ministers suddenly became unhappy, because this is not to cut off the future.

"I think, the current administrative work in Nanjing is pretty good and methodical. The ministers in Shaoxing are not familiar with the situation here, and they may not manage Nanjing well."

"Yes, yes, the various New Deal measures on our side are completely different from those in Shaoxing. At that time, it will not be easy to follow the imperial decree of King Lu, or the will of General Wu."

"Do those ministers in Shaoxing understand General Wu's New Deal? One by one, what have they done for Daming? Under the leadership of General Wu, we have regained large tracts of land in just six months, allowing the Zhili region to be restored. The people live and work in peace and contentment.

Keep us in power, and the recovery of Beijing is just around the corner. But what if several ministers from Shaoxing came here to point out and influence the great cause of the Northern Expedition? "

Several cabinet ministers immediately expressed their attitude and did not welcome the Shaoxing cabinet to come.
