The capital of the Ming Dynasty is too dangerous in Beijing.

In the first year of Yongle, the capital of Ming Dynasty was in present-day Nanjing, China. This ancient capital of the Six Dynasties has been regarded as a king since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, made his capital here, collecting the essence of China's 2,000-year-old palace architecture and building a palace. Today, there are only these ruins left in this palace, but it still retains the spirit of that year.

At this time, Beijing was still the chief minister of the imperial court in Daming territory, named Beiping. There are few people here. When Judy 1 1 was years old, he was made a prince. He and his old employees are familiar with this place and full of affection for it.

On the thirteenth day of the first month of Yongle, Judy returned to the palace after offering sacrifices to heaven and earth according to her ancestors. When the ministers got together, a minister named Li Zhigang made a suggestion. He said, I thought Beiping was the place where the emperor carried Longxing. We should follow the example of Gaozu's system, set up another capital and make Beiping a Kyoto. Emperor Yongle readily agreed at once. In the next few hours, a decree that Beiping was promoted to Beijing and became the second Kyoto of the dynasty was announced to the world.

The news soon spread all over the country, and a great palace will be born.

Emperor Yongle, who just ascended the throne, showed the world with such an imperial decree and expressed his idea of governing the world.

From the historical materials we have seen so far, it can be found that the Emperor Chu was in a very delicate and uneasy atmosphere in A.D. 1403. As an emperor who just reached the pinnacle of seizing the imperial power from his nephew, he faced too many thorny problems. The killing of the veteran minister of Jianwen Emperor who opposed him continues.

Judy felt very uneasy after killing many people. He also asked Chang Ru, the minister around him, if I would offend the ancestors of heaven and earth?

What makes him even more uneasy is that when he invaded Nanjing, his nephew Wen Jian mysteriously disappeared in a fire, and his life and death were unknown. Although he held a grand funeral for this nephew according to the emperor's etiquette. However, many historians of later generations believe that it was not the Emperor Wen Jian himself who was buried at that time. The real emperor Wen Jian has probably fled to the outside. This incident became Judy's biggest worry.

Then one day, when he went to court, Judy was almost assassinated by Jing Qing.

After this incident, Judy often had nightmares in Nanjing. He may begin to miss his hometown Beijing more strongly.

Standing on the ruins of Nanjing Palace, we can easily imagine that Emperor Yongle, who once lived in the north for many years, may dislike living in Nanjing more and more. He began to plan to move Kyoto No.1 to Beijing.

Shortly in May of that year, during his visit to North Korea, he told ministers that Beijing was my old feudal country. If there is a state-owned country, the capital courtesy will be implemented. However, the emperor's suggestion was strongly opposed by ministers. Since then, Judy has become much more cautious. He began to make systematic and meticulous preparations for the circuitous and secret move of the capital.

In A.D. 1403, many southerners from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places suddenly appeared in this city, which just changed its name from Beiping to Beijing. With the consent of the imperial court, they moved their capital to Beijing, so they can get a five-year tax exemption. Generally speaking, these people are relatively rich, and they soon started their business in Beijing that they used to run in the south. At the same time, in the suburbs of Beijing, many farmers began to reclaim land, and a large-scale immigration project began.

When the vast immigrant team flocked to Beijing, on the northwest grassland of Beijing far away from Wan Li, the army of fighters commanded by Mongolian Tamerlane had marched into the Central Plains. The northern part of Ming Dynasty was threatened again.

However, just as Emperor Yongle was preparing to fight, Timur died suddenly during the March. A great war disappeared into invisibility.

1June, 405, when the southeast wind was blowing, Zheng He was sent by Ming Chengzu to lead the fleet to sail on the ocean. Take Emperor Yongle to show the world the mission of Daming's national prestige and sail to the vast ocean. It is said that this voyage was also to find the missing emperor Wen Jian.

In August of A.D. 1406, when Zheng He's fleet was marching mightily, something happened in Nanjing Palace that made Judy happy. Whether it was the secret inspiration of Emperor Yongle himself or the result of ministers trying to figure out their own ideas, we have never been able to verify it. In a word, in this day's court, a group of ministers headed by Qiu Fu suggested that a new palace should be built in Beijing, and Emperor Yongle readily accepted this suggestion.
