"Why is this happening?"

Wu Zheng stared at Wu Xiaomei, "You and Simin are the only ones in the backyard of the royal palace... You have always had a good relationship. She has the intention to commit suicide. You should have noticed it, right?"

Wu Xiaomei looked at Wu Zheng calmly, "Brother should be trying to ask... Did Simin die because of me, or did I force Simin to death?"

"I don't mean that, but you have to give me a convincing statement."

Although these words are sharp, they are not without reason. There are only four sisters Zhou Simin, Wu Xiaomei and Xia Huiji in the backyard of the palace. Before, Xia Wanchun had already taken Xia Huiji to Taiping Mansion to take strict supervision. Now, there are only two sisters Zhou Simin and Wu Xiaomei in the backyard of the palace.

Wu Xiaomei was silent for a while, "Actually, when my brother left Yingtian Mansion, Simin was in a bad mood... In the past two months, Simin often cried... Brother, don't you understand?"

Wu Zheng looked at Wu Xiaomei in shock, "What do you mean... Simin had the idea of ​​suicide from the beginning...?"

Wu Xiaomei nodded slowly, "The accidental death of the eldest princess has always made Simin feel guilty... She often said, "I'm sorry to my brother, I'm sorry to the eldest princess."

"No, this is impossible. She is the concubine of the king. She has me and her son... This is impossible!" Wu Zhengxin was a little confused. He suddenly realized that it was a huge mistake for him to leave Yingtian Mansion without comforting Zhou Simin without saying a word.

At that time, Wu Zheng subconsciously regarded Zhou Simin as a person involved in the coup, but did not regard her as his family.

But in fact, Zhou Simin is only twenty-one years old, a few years younger than Wu Zheng.

Such psychological pressure is beyond the reach of people.

Wu Zheng burst into tears and shouted.

Wu Xiaomei looked at Wu Zheng and sighed softly: "Brother may not know that you left Simin in Yingtian Mansion, maybe for her good, so as not to be involved with those in Hangzhou Mansion again, but have you ever thought that Simin is a mother, and you separate her from the child, aren't you telling her that she might be...!"

Wu Zheng was shocked. He never thought of following Zhu Moe to launch a coup, and to ignore Zhou Simin, and never thought of having a child and not recognizing her as her mother.

Tears slowly appeared in Wu Xiaomei's eyes, "Simin was already sad... Once someone told her that her actions had affected Di'er's position as the crown prince... I think any mother would...!"

Wu Zheng, who was roaring loudly, suddenly became quiet, stared at Wu Xiaomei and asked, "You just said... someone told her? Who?"

Wu Xiaomei shook her head and said, "I don't know... I really don't know!"

"Then why would you...?"

"It was the eve of Simin's suicide... When she talked to me, she said that my brother might blame Di'er for her fault and would not enthrone Di'er... Ask me if she was dead, Di'er was my brother's flesh and naturally there would be no impact... I was stupid at that time and advised her for a long time... She also listened to the advice at that time... and laughed at me... But, but I didn't think about it..."

Wu Xiaomei also started crying.

Wu Zheng fell silent, but his face was extremely gloomy.

Because Wu Zheng was keenly aware that someone was deliberately extinguishing Zhou Shimin's last trace of concern in the world.

After six or seven years of intrigue, if Wu Zheng had not yet become familiar with this trick, he would have been sold.

So Wu Zheng took a breath, calmed down, and said to Wu Xiaomei: "...Dad cares about you, go back to Hangzhou."

Wu Xiaomei pursed her lips and said, "Does my brother go back to Hangzhou?"

"No." Wu Zheng shook his head, "I have to go north after I finish Simin's funeral."

"Then I'll stay in Yingtian Mansion... I won't go anywhere."

Wu Zheng glanced at Wu Xiaomei in confusion, thought for a while and said, "It's up to you...but, stop causing trouble."

....

Zhou Simin committed suicide, and there was no objection to this.

But why did he commit suicide made Wu Zheng feel a knot in his heart.

Although he was so upset, since it wasn't him who killed him, Wu Zheng had no idea how to vent his anger.

That night, Wu Zheng summoned the cabinet ministers in the royal palace.

"I guess you all heard of it?"

Wu Zheng's expression was calm, which made the ministers breathe a little relieved, and they all answered that they had heard about it.

And they congratulated Wu Zheng one by one, "I congratulate you on your highness, the regent, for not having any bloodshed, and regaining Shuntian Mansion..."

Wu Zheng made a few polite words and got to the point, "Since you already know, let's discuss the matter of the court's movement north... Don't wait until the three-month period arrives, and then dispute whether the court is in the north or south."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone was silent.

The imperial court moved from Yingtian Prefecture to Shuntian Prefecture, which was completely different from moving from Shaoxing Prefecture to Yingtian Prefecture.

Needless to mention, these ministers in the cabinet, even the entire court, 80% or 90% of the ministers are from Jiangnan.

Moving north is not a casual talk.

Mao Xiang couldn't help it first, "Return to the words of the governor, Your Highness, I thought that Taizu set the capital Shuntian Prefecture to prevent the Later Jin Dynasty, but now the Qing Dynasty has been driven out of the pass by our Northern Expedition Army, and its strength has been greatly damaged. In my opinion, it is difficult to recover its vitality within decades... In this way, the most important thing for our dynasty at the moment is to develop production and restore its vitality, and at the same time, to cure the scoundrel stricken coastal scourges the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

This resonated with everyone present.

Wang Yi stepped forward and said, "I am asking. What Lord Mao said is reasonable... Although our dynasty continues the previous Ming Dynasty in name, as Your Highness said, this Ming is not Ming, but Han Ming... Since it is no longer Zhu Ming, why should you return to Du Shuntian Prefecture... Besides, Your Highness's foundation is in the south. If you return to Shuntian Prefecture, you are afraid it will be Jiangnan... People's hearts are not stable!"

Xu Fuyuan, who had just entered the cabinet, also echoed: "Now the taxes of the Jiangnan prefectures are twice that of the previous dynasty. The fundamental reason is that it is still commercial taxes. Especially the Hangzhou Prefecture under Your Highness, it has become an important foreign trade center. But if you return to Shuntian Prefecture, it will probably greatly affect the foreign merchants' port... The foreign merchant ship fleet will all go to Tianjin Guard. In this case, the Southern Shang will definitely be dissatisfied... Please think twice!"

Except for those who are silent, everyone who speaks against them and they are Shuntian Mansion.

Wu Zheng glanced at him and his eyes stopped at Ma Shiying, who had been huddling behind him and was silent. "Old Ma, what do you mean... object or agree?"

Ma Shiying was named and had to squeeze out of the cracks.

"When I say to the prince, I actually feel that... the new dynasty must have a new atmosphere. Yingtian Prefecture is also the southern capital of the former dynasty. It is time to change the land."

As soon as these words were said, they aroused everyone's anger and accused Ma Shiying of slandering the Lord.

The reason is very simple. Can this capital be changed at will?

How much manpower, material resources, financial resources, and still have time to spend?
