The information of the two boxes was carried in. Li Jie opened the box with his own hands, then took out the information inside and placed it in front of Lao Zhu. These information were compiled by him, Zhu Biao, and Princess Pucheng. Now that Zhu Biao is sick and Pucheng is detained, only Li Jie is most familiar with this.

"Father, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Xi'an and Peking are all here. Li Jie and I summarized the situation in the four cities and put it on the top. Father, you can take a look first!" At this time, Zhu Biao, who was on the bed, held the quilt and spoke.

His body has really recovered most of his body, but Lao Zhu just refused to let him get out of bed, so he was so bored that he simply took this opportunity to report on the tour, and at least he could spend some time.

Lao Zhu also saw the information about Kaifeng at a glance, and immediately reached out to pick up the summary above and read it. Lao Zhu had a special relationship with Kaifeng. He had been to Kaifeng twice in total. The first time was when he was young and went north to beg for food. The second time was when he was defeated by Kaifeng and he entered Kaifeng as a winner.

However, those two trips to Kaifeng did not leave a good impression on Lao Zhu. The first time was because of famine, and there were hungry people everywhere in Henan, and Kaifeng was no exception. The second time was because of war. Kaifeng was just defeated by Lao Zhu, and the entire city was almost destroyed. Not to mention the scenery of Bianjing back then, even a normal city could not be maintained.

Therefore, Lao Zhu was also very curious about the current situation in Kaifeng. Although he could also learn about the situation in Kaifeng through various channels in the past, it was not as detailed as his own son's field visit.

However, after reading Kaifeng's summary, Lao Zhu showed a look of disappointment. Then he roughly looked through Kaifeng's information. After confirming it with all aspects, he also felt that although Kaifeng was too strong, he was indeed not suitable to serve as the capital now.

Next, Lao Zhu read all the summary of Luoyang and Xi'an, and the more he looked, his brows became tighter, because from these situations, these two cities also had great flaws, especially Xi'an, which had almost been excluded.

Finally, Lao Zhu picked up the situation in Peking Prefecture. After reading this, he finally relaxed his eyebrows a little, and then he showed a contemplative look, as if he was considering the advantages and disadvantages of these three cities.

After a while, Lao Zhu looked up and said, "From the results of your investigation, it seems that Peking Prefecture has more advantages, especially the saying that Luoyang is firmly maintaining its achievements, but Peking is conducive to development, which makes me quite agree with it!"

When Lao Zhu said this, he looked at Li Jie and smiled slightly, "If I guessed it well, you should have said this sentence. With the prince's calm temperament, he would definitely not be able to say such things!"

Li Jie blushed when he heard this. He looked at Zhu Biao at once, and finally hesitated for a moment and said the truth: "Your Majesty misunderstood. This sentence was not what I said."

"Huh? Did my son actually know each other after he went out?" Old Zhu also stared at Zhu Biao in surprise and asked.

"Don't get me wrong. This is not what I said, but what Pu Cheng said!" Zhu Biao waved his hand quickly.

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was stunned at first, then slapped the table and said angrily: "No, no, no, why did you let a woman participate in such a thing?"

Lao Zhu disliked women and eunuchs interfered in politics the most, and it was clearly written in the Ming Dynasty law, but it was done to prohibit women from interfering in politics, but prohibiting eunuchs from interfering in politics became a piece of paper. The Ming Dynasty was even one of the most serious dynasties in politics. This was mainly because Zhu Di was blamed. After he usurped the throne, no one was available to him, and many eunuchs were valued. But these eunuchs also produced figures like Zheng He, so it was normal that eunuchs in power emerged one after another.

"The father calmed down. Pucheng was in a miserable life. He was not liked by his second brother since he was a child. After I took her away from Xi'an, she always treated me as her father. It can be said that on the way from Xi'an to Beijing, I was also very smart and could help me and Li Jie organize some information, and occasionally express some of my own opinions. I think her words make sense, so I wrote them in the summary." Zhu Biao hurriedly explained.

"Her biological father is still alive, why are you rushing to be her father?" Lao Zhu was immediately anxious when he heard that Pu Cheng actually regarded Zhu Biao as his father. Pu Cheng dared to poison her biological father, so in Lao Zhu's opinion, being her father is definitely not a good thing.

"The elder brother is like a father, and the second brother is too chaotic, which leads to a turmoil in the family. As my brother, it is also worth fulfilling his father's responsibilities for him!" Zhu Biao said with a sensation, but when he said this, he suddenly showed a puzzled look and asked Lao Zhu, "By the way, why haven't I seen Pu Cheng these two days?"

Zhu Biao didn't know that Princess Pucheng had been detained by Lao Zhu to the clan mansion. Although Lao Zhu blocked the news of his illness, Princess Pucheng was at the scene when he became ill, so she should come to visit her regardless of whether it is reasonable.

"This... I won't let her come. After all, the news of your illness must not be spread." Old Zhu replied vaguely. He didn't want Zhu Biao to know that he had imprisoned Princess Pucheng into the clan's mansion. After all, there must be a reason for the trustees, but he cannot tell Zhu Biao about the poisoning of Pucheng on Zhu Chuang.

"Well~ Your Majesty, although Princess Pucheng is a woman, she is extremely talented and has her own unique insights in government affairs. Sometimes I feel ashamed of myself!" Li Jie hurriedly changed the topic at this time, so as not to ask Zhu Biao any more questions, and Lao Zhu would not be able to make a lie.

"Yes, Pucheng's intelligence surprised me very much. It's a pity that she is a woman. If she is a man, she will definitely become my good helper in the future!" Zhu Biao said in the end, but then he looked happy again, "But in addition to Pucheng, I found that the fifth brother's family, Ye and Gao Chi from the fourth brother's family are also good. One is extremely smart and the other is mature and steady, and they are all very good talents!"

"Look, your brother's sons are so talented, but look at your son, there is no one outstanding yet!" Old Zhu gave Zhu Biao a blank look when he heard this.

"This... in fact, Yunwen and Yunsheng are also good." Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly when he heard this. No matter how bad his son is, he is his own son after all. Of course, to be honest, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunsheng are indeed worse than Zhu Youshuo.

"Okay, let's not talk about these family affairs. According to your opinion, Peking Prefecture should be more suitable for moving the capital than the three cities in Kaifeng?" Lao Zhu asked again and again.

Zhu Biao looked at Li Jie and then replied: "Yes, I didn't have much hope for Beiping Prefecture. It was just because of Li Jie's persistence that I went there. However, when I arrived at Beiping Prefecture, I found that the conditions there were indeed good in all aspects, and river transportation and sea transportation were very convenient. Although it was close to the border, there were dangerous passes around. As long as there was no problem inside, it would be difficult for the northern enemy to break through the external defense line of Peking."

Li Jie also said at this time: "Your Majesty, I also agree with what Princess Pucheng said. For the Ming Dynasty, if you keep the achievements blindly, you may repeat the rise and fall of the previous dynasty. However, if you move the capital to Peiping, you can always feel external threats, so that future generations and descendants dare not relax. In addition, I have always believed that the future of the Ming Dynasty lies in the sea. The silver mine in Japan is a clear proof. Please ask Your Majesty to judge!"

Seeing that Zhu Biao and Li Jie agreed to move the capital to Peiping Prefecture, Lao Zhu did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he picked up the detailed information of Peking Prefecture and read it carefully one by one. Li Jie and Zhu Biao did not dare to disturb him.

I don’t know how long it took, but Lao Zhu finally put down the information in his hand and looked up: “The moving of the capital is of great importance. I must discuss with the ministers before making a decision. But for me, your words just now did touch me!”

Li Jie and Zhu Biao were all ecstatic when they heard Lao Zhu's words, especially Lao Zhu's last words meant that Lao Zhu had already recognized the decision of the two. Although it still needed to discuss with the ministers, as long as Lao Zhu made a decision, this matter would be mostly successful. The next step is to go through a process. After all, Lao Zhu is not someone who can be influenced by the ministers.

"Father, when I recover from my illness, I will help my father lobby the ministers to discuss the move of the capital!" Zhu Biao immediately saluted again.

Moving the capital is not a trivial matter, nor is it something they can decide with just one word. It involves all parties and requires the entire court to mobilize it, and it may even take several years, so the cooperation of those ministers is also very important.

"Okay, don't think too much about these things, let's take care of the disease first!" Lao Zhu was still worried about Zhu Biao's body. When he said this, Lao Zhu suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Jie and said again, "Yesterday, Lao Si sent news that Ouchi Yoshihiro from Japan had agreed to our conditions. The next thing was to fulfill our promise. The first batch of supplies was also in preparation. We also need to send people to Japan to take over Ishimiguo in the future. What do you think about this?"

Li Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately slapped his hands and said excitedly: "That's great. Yoshihiro Ouchi is indeed a person who knows the current affairs. However, although the conditions have been negotiated, the court cannot relax its vigilance against Yoshihiro Ouchi. This person is very good at getting along with each other. The reason why he was able to rise quickly was that he repeatedly jumped between the two dynasties in the north and south, taking advantage of all the advantages, so the court must also be prepared for him!"

After hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded and said, "I think so too. If this Ouchi Yoshihiro can betray Japan today, it will inevitably not betray us in the future. But there is no need to worry too much. As long as I take over Ishimiguo and gain a foothold there, the court will not need this Ouchi Yoshihiro!"
