At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty,Ming Taizu set up the capital in Nanjing.When Ming Chengzu Zhu Di accession,the capital moved to Beijing.To the Ming Yingzong orthodox period,the Ming Dynasty formally established the two capital system,Nanjing ’s political center position was gradually replaced by Beijing.Although Nanjing still has six ministries and other official positions,it is far less than Beijing officials in terms of political status or development prospects.However,the officials who took office in Beijing were abnormal,and they took the initiative to request to return to Nanjing,and this phenomenon was not uncommon.There were many officials in Beijing ’s " begging to change to Nanjing," all over Beijing departments and grades.However,in the existing literature of the Ming Dynasty,the description of the behavior of Beijing officials ’ begging to change to the south ’is more than a word,and the officials ’ request to change to the south is mostly for the single reason of raising relatives.By consulting the ’ Ming History ’ and other documents,the author finds that there are still many reasons to be explored for the formation of the group of ’begging to change the south ’ officials in Beijing.The Ming Dynasty Beijing ’s " begging to change to Nanjing " officials were produced with the support of the Ming Dynasty ’s unique policies.Although the two-capital system was not first created in the Ming Dynasty,the unique official system of Nanjing,which was different from other places,was indeed a unique system of the Ming Dynasty,and it was also one of the political systems that supported the officials to beg to change Nanjing.As a political behavior,’ begging to change south ’ has certain volatility in the development process.Because the two-capital system was formally established in the orthodox period,the behavior of " begging to change to Nanjing " closely related to it also began to develop from the orthodox period,and because of the large time span of the Jiajing period and the frequent party struggles,it became the most frequent dynasty of " begging to change to Nanjing." Finally,the behavior of officials ’ begging to change the south fell into a low tide in the late Ming Dynasty.In the Ming Dynasty,Beijing ’s " begging to change to Nanjing " official group had certain commonalities.After classifying the group according to the origin of the officials,the time of " begging to change to Nanjing " and the official positions before " begging to change to Nanjing," it can be clearly seen that the southern officials accounted for a large proportion of the group.The officials ’ time of changing the south was mainly concentrated in the middle of the Ming Dynasty,and most of them were low-grade officials.Through a large number of analysis of the specific experience of the officials of ’ begging to change to Nanjing ’,the author finds that officials in Beijing often use greeting parents as a legitimate reason for "begging to change to Nanjing ",and greeting parents or some of them.Officials use the rhetoric to cover up their true intentions of " begging to change to Nanjing ",and their true intentions of " begging to change to Nanjing",are nothing more than choosing " begging to change to Nanjing ",because of old age or disease,seclusion and temporary avoidance of political enemies.In the middle and late Ming Dynasty,the party struggles one after another,the rule of the Ming Dynasty fell into a political crisis,and the imperial power was restricted by various factors,resulting in blocked speech and no way for officials to serve the country.At the same time,the rise of Yangming ’s philosophy of mind changed the concept of the scholar-officials who lost confidence in the government of the dynasty,and the development of this political appeal was more obvious among the officials of Beijing ’s " begging to change to Nanjing " in the Ming Dynasty.The political performance of Beijing officials after the change also showed different trends due to different motives.
