After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

The sun was setting in the west, and there was silence in Changchun Palace, with only the occasional chirping of birds and suppressed sobs...

"Hey, Yuyao, why are you so stubborn?"

Xia Yu sat beside Shen Yuyao's bed, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand. He fed it to Shen Yuyao's lips with a spoon, "Be good, take the medicine well. I want you to accompany me to see the new capital of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Shen Yuyao shook her head gently. She stared at Xia Yu for a moment, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? I am originally a doctor, so I naturally know that medicine cannot kill people."

Xia Yu frowned.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for six years. I have seen the prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty." Shen Yuyao's lips curled up slightly, "But I am afraid that I will not be able to see the new capital of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Nonsense!" Xia Yu looked unhappy, and placed the medicine in his hand heavily on the tray held by Zi Su beside him. "I know you like Yanjing the most. I have specially ordered the Great Xia Dynasty to move its capital to Yanjing City despite the opposition of all civil and military officials."

A few drops of medicine splashed out.

Zi Su was stunned for a moment. Xia Yu's temper now was becoming more and more like that of the late emperor.

Shen Yuyao propped herself up and nodded weakly to Zisu, and Zisu then brought out the medicine.

When Zi Su walked out of the bedroom, Xia Yu suddenly acted like a child who had done something wrong. He held Shen Yuyao's arm and said, "It's my fault. I was a little impatient."

"It's okay. In fact, I strongly support your majesty's relocation of the capital." Shen Yuyao coughed lightly and said, "It's good that the emperor guards the country's borders!"

"The one who knows me is the Queen!" Xia Yu was overjoyed when he heard that.

Shen Yuyao nodded slowly, "Your Majesty, if you make Yanjing the capital, then we can continue to expand the territory of our Great Xia Dynasty to the north, and Yanjing can be used as a base for your Majesty to move forward."

Xia Yu also nodded, "That's right. I have governed Yanjing for many years. Today, Yanjing has fertile soil, crisscrossing rivers, and sufficient food supply. It is especially suitable for my army to be stationed there on a large scale."

"After all, the current Kyoto is where Xia Chongwen once lived, and there are many people who oppose me."

Shen Yuyao knew that what Xia Yu didn't say was...

After the victory of the Jingnan Campaign, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, because many civil and military officials still chose to be loyal to Xia Chongwen, he killed too many people in Kyoto in order to ascend the throne smoothly.

Xia Yu actually knew that he had already made too many enemies in Kyoto City, and he never felt safe enough while staying in the palace.

In particular, just a few days after he ascended the throne, Xia Yu was nearly assassinated by Jing Qing, the Imperial Censor who pretended to surrender.

After this incident, Xia Yu often had nightmares at night, and he began to miss his fiefdom, Yanjing City, even more strongly.

So in the final analysis, it is imperative for Xia Yu to move the capital to Yanjing City.

It has nothing to do with whether Shen Yuyao likes it or not.

Just like the current position of queen, Shen Yuyao has never liked it at all.

"Your Majesty, I heard that when Your Majesty was in power, you proposed to the ministers a plan to move the capital to Yanjing City. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty's proposal was fiercely opposed by almost all the ministers."

"That's why I've been feeling anxious lately and I can't think of a good solution for the time being." Xia Yu nodded.

"If I tell Your Majesty a method that will allow us to successfully move the capital to Yanjing City, would Your Majesty be willing to agree to one of my requests?" Shen Yuyao smiled and gently put down Xia Yu's hand that was supporting her without leaving any trace.

"Yuyao, even if you have tens of millions of requests, I will agree to them unconditionally." Xia Yu rubbed his hands and said a little awkwardly.

He turned around and saw that Shen Yuyao's complexion seemed to have become much rosier, and she seemed to be in much better spirits than a few days ago.

"As long as you can be as healthy as you are now, I will agree to everything you ask for."

"Okay," Shen Yuyao adjusted her hair, sat up straight, looked directly at Xia Yu and said, "Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty must be cautious about moving the capital."

"This matter should not be rushed, but should be prepared systematically and carefully in a roundabout and secretive way for the relocation of the capital."

Shen Yuyao told the story slowly and Xia Yu's eyes lit up and he nodded continuously.

"I suggest that Your Majesty issue an imperial decree first. All southerners in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas who are willing to move to Yanjing City will be exempted from paying taxes for five years."

"Secondly, Your Majesty can ask several of the heroes who have made great contributions to the Jingnan Rebellion to write to the court to suggest building a new palace in Yanjing. Then, Your Majesty can find two old people in the palace to move to Yanjing and supervise the construction of the palace in Yanjing under the pretext of repairing the palace."

"third......"

Shen Yuyao paused deliberately, and Xia Yu asked anxiously: "Yuyao, tell me, what is the third one?"

"This third point is the most important part of this strategy!"

"Then tell me quickly." Xia Yu became even more curious.

The first two are already excellent strategies, and the third one must be the most ingenious one.

"Of course I have to say it, but before I do, I have something I want to ask Your Majesty." Shen Yuyao said.

"Ask me, I will tell you everything I know!"

"I want to ask, how did Xu Yunxuan die?"

Shen Yuyao's face remained calm, but every word she spoke was like thunderbolts striking Xia Yu's heart.

"You!" Xia Yu's expression began to become flustered, "Didn't I tell you that she died in the fire in Fengxian Palace?"

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that after Xia Chongwen killed my second brother, he set fire to Fengxian Hall, causing Xu Yunxuan who had just arrived at Fengxian Hall to die in the fire?" Shen Yuyao's eyes became cold, and she stared straight at Xia Yu, as if she wanted to see the truth on his face.

"My second brother's death was beyond my expectation. I am extremely sorry..." Xia Yu looked extremely sincere. Shen Yuyao believed that his words must have come from his heart and were true!

"Then Your Majesty, would you be willing to tell me why Xu Yunxuan went to Fengxian Palace at that time? Did Your Majesty ask her to go?" Shen Yuyao continued to ask.

"Yes! I let her go! I killed her!" After Xia Yu's expression changed several times, he suddenly stood up and shouted.

"But Yuyao, do you know? What did she say to me?" A cold light flashed in Xia Yu's eyes, causing Shen Yuyao, who was still sitting on the bed, to sway.

"She said that I am not my father's legitimate son, nor my mother's biological son, but was born to a Mongolian concubine that my father favored by chance!" Xia Yu was a little hysterical.

"So you pretended to let her go to Fengxian Hall to persuade Xia Chongwen to escape through the secret passage, but sent Eunuch Wang to burn down Fengxian Hall and burn Xia Chongwen and Xu Yunxuan to death! Is that right?" Shen Yuyao's eyes were full of resentment.

Although she already knew the truth, she still wanted Xia Yu to admit it in person.

People who do something wrong always have to admit that they are wrong before they will change.

"Yes!" Xia Yu blurted out "yes", causing Shen Yuyao to burst into tears.

"The third strategy of moving the capital is that after I die, Your Majesty will bury me in Yanjing City!"
