Zhu Di waved his hands and said, "I won't go. Let others go out to sea. I feel like vomiting when I see the sea now."

Hearing this, all the ministers laughed.

"Okay, historian, open a separate page for the Prince of Yan, list the Prince of Yan's achievements, fill the page up, and publish it in the Daming Daily, so that the world can know."

Zhu Yunxun ordered.

"As you wish." The historian accepted the order.

I originally wanted to write a separate line for Zhu Di, but Zhu Yunhuan has already issued an edict, so I'll just write on another page.

"Uncle, you haven't visited your new fiefdom yet, have you?"

Zhu Yunxi asked.

Zhu Di sighed, "I left from the west, but I came back from the east. According to my observation, the world today should be a sphere, round, otherwise it cannot explain this phenomenon. I don't even know where my new fiefdom is."

Zhu Yunhuan did not expect that Zhu Di actually discovered that the world was a sphere, instead of the round sky and square earth.

"Fourth uncle is right. I'll have someone send you there in a couple of days. Princess Yan will probably become a stone waiting for her husband."

"Okay." Zhu Di smiled. He hadn't seen his wife for a long time.

No matter what, we have to fight for seven days and seven nights.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at the Minister of Works with a sharp gaze, as if his eyes could penetrate the other's soul. He slowly asked, "It is expected that the new imperial capital will be completed in the twelfth year of Chengqian. Has any relevant news been received now?"

The Minister of Works' face tensed and he quickly walked out of the queue. Then he knelt on his knees without hesitation, kowtowed and said in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty! There are some deviations in the calculations for this project, but I have tried my best to speed up the progress. Now the overall project is nearing completion. It will definitely be completed and put into use when the flowers bloom in the spring next year. It is just a slight delay of half a year from the original plan."

Hearing this reply, Zhu Yunhuan showed a subtle disappointment on his face. He sighed slightly and said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. I know you have worked hard for this, but the construction of this new imperial capital is indeed large-scale and arduous. I am always worried. Can you really ensure that I can move the capital smoothly next year?"

Facing the emperor's doubts, the Minister of Works raised his head, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he responded firmly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I am willing to guarantee it with my life. If the relocation of the capital cannot be completed on time next year, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Zhu Yunhuan nodded and said, "Okay, next spring, when the flowers bloom, I will order all the princes to come to the palace to pay tribute in the fourteenth year of Chengqian."

"Yes, sir." Hao Youqian took note of the matter.

At this time in the northern imperial capital, the palaces stood tall and majestic, and the golden splendor reflected the clear sky. Every step seemed to be stepping on the clouds, and one could feel the weight and solemnity of history.

The palace has corridors on all four sides and the ground is paved with golden bricks.

The roof has a single eave and four pointed corners. The roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles and has a gilded copper roof in the middle.

The inner and outer eaves of the hall are decorated with golden dragon and imperial seal paintings, and the ceiling is decorated with gilded patterns. There are 6-8 floor screens and thrones in the hall.

Even more gorgeous than expected.

Large materials can only be carved manually, and pure hand carving takes an extremely long time.

The next day, Zhu Di was going to his new fiefdom to find a wife, and Zhu Yunhuan arranged for someone to take Zhu Di there.

Thinking about which unlucky guy to send on the next voyage to the West.

I thought Zhu Di could travel all over the world, but I never thought that I was overthinking. It was lucky that Zhu Di could find his way home from the vast ocean and didn't get lost.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at the current map of the Ming Dynasty and compared it with the future world map, and found that at least one third was missing.

It seems that there is still a new world that Zhu Di has not encountered.

At this time, all over the world, wherever the rivers flow and wherever the sun and the moon shine, knew that a bandit country had emerged in the far east.

Under the name of educating the barbarians, they expanded their territory.

Either take the initiative to submit and pay tribute, or become a part of the Ming Dynasty.

If you don’t understand the truth, then Daming will explain the truth to you.

Zhu Yunhuan spent his last New Year in Jinling.

In April of the 13th year of Chengqian, an urgent letter arrived from the north, traveling 800 miles.

"Eight hundred miles in an emergency, the imperial capital is built, the imperial capital is built!"

When the news reached Jinling, Zhu Yunhuan could not help but sigh that even though he mobilized manpower, material resources and financial resources at all costs, and even transferred laborers and materials from abroad, this magnificent Forbidden City still took seven and a half years to complete.

Zhu Yunhuan immediately issued an edict to move the capital to Beiping, renamed Beiping Beijing, and designated it as the imperial capital. Nanjing was downgraded to a secondary capital, but the institutional system was retained.

"Your Majesty, if you move the capital to the north, should the tombs of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Xingzong also be moved to the north?"

As soon as Zhu Yunhuan issued an order to move the capital, many ministers wrote to the emperor to submit a petition.

After all, filial piety has been the way to rule the world since ancient times, and Zhu Yunhuan couldn't just leave Old Zhu and his father in the south.

Wang Chunsan brought a memorial to see Zhu Yunhuan and explained the situation.

After hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan refused the idea of taking them to the north without even thinking about it.

"I heard that Emperor Taizu Gao said that he would never see me in death or in life. I have always been kind and filial, and I will obey his wishes. From now on, his tablet will not be enshrined in the Northern Ancestral Temple.

As for my father, he allowed Lu to criticize me harshly. I guess he also dislikes me in his heart, so I will not take him to the north.

Lest he blame me a hundred years later for disturbing his mausoleum, I will do less and make fewer mistakes. I dare not not make any mistakes. I will not disturb the imperial mausoleum in Zhongshan, and leave them in the south."

Hearing this, Wang Chunsan said, "Your Majesty, if we do this, won't Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Xingzong be too lonely? I'm afraid the ministers will have objections."

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand and said, "If anyone objects, let him and his family move to the side of the imperial mausoleum in Zhongshan, and from then on, they will accompany Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Xingzong for generations. I support this."
