- It is very interesting that after Zhang Dun's suggestion, half of the officials in the court stepped forward and agreed, allowing Yang Yi to take charge of the project to expand Tokyo City.
I have to say that Zhang Dun has served as prime minister in vain in recent years.
Yang Yi knew very well what they were thinking. Building a city and building a pond was a thankless task. It took a long time, involved a lot of work, and required countless supplies. It was inevitable that someone would line their own pockets. If one person failed, the chief officer would be punished. Impeachment was mismanaged and implicated.
Even if you build the city, you will only get some rewards at most, but it cannot be said to be a big credit. Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was grand enough, but how many people know who presided over the construction of Chang'an City?
Why don¡¯t many people know about it? Because everyone thinks that this is the work of craftsmen. How much credit can you count as a craftsman? Without great merit, it is naturally impossible to become famous all over the world.
Yes, yes, let me build cities and walls, let me drink with thousands of craftsmen on busy construction sites every day, and splash mud on my face among the mountains of masonry and mud tiles;
Well, if you want to expand, just expand it, and do it at once, so as not to have to expand in the future, so that the master can stay on the construction site longer, right?
Yang Yi found it funny when he thought about it. Zhang Dun could really do this. He had never heard of a bachelor, a tutor, or a duke who was the top scholar being sent to build a city.
There are many officials in Yang Yi's line now. The imperial envoy Luo Cheng immediately went out to work and objected loudly: "Queen Mother, the expansion of the capital is a matter for the Ministry of Industry. Yang Taifu is civilized, military, rich and talented. I am on vacation, but I have never been exposed to construction. The capital is an important place. It is the residence of the emperor and the place where the country is. The expansion of the capital is of great importance and cannot be sloppy. Taifu Yang has no experience in building cities and asked him to take charge of the expansion project. This move is like child's play. I thought it was nothing. Absolutely not!"
The imperial envoy Feng Yu immediately jumped out and retorted loudly: "Master Luo's statement is totally false. It is precisely because the expansion of the capital is of great importance that it requires capable ministers like Taifu Yang to preside over the matter. Master Luo said that Taifu Yang had no experience in building cities, so he Failure to bear this important responsibility is even more absurd;
Think back to the beginning. Taifu Yang had never had the experience of leading an army in battle. In the battle of Yishui, he won the first major victory against Liao in a century, which made the Liao army frightened and did not dare to face our dynasty;
Furthermore, when Taifu Yang first took office as the magistrate of Huanzhou, he had no experience in governing the local area. What was the result? It took just one year. Under the governance of Taifu Yang, Huanzhou was prosperous and prosperous, which shows the talent of Yang Taifu. Very unexpected;
Nowadays, the expansion of Tokyo is related to the safety of the imperial capital, and it is even more necessary for people like Taifu Yang who can take on important responsibilities to preside over it. Just to be sure. Mr. Luo instead said that Taifu Yang was unworthy of his duties. Isn't it a big mistake? "
Depend on. Yang Yi became angry when he saw Feng Yu. You suggested giving me princesses and concubines, but the Queen Mother dialed back once and you gave up. You tried again a few times, but you didn¡¯t care about that. Instead, you talked about building the city with thousands of words. Aren¡¯t you going to piss me off to death? ?
Yang Yi didn't say anything. This was the signal. The imperial emissary Liu Hai immediately went out to fight and said: "Master Feng, don't you hear that gold is not pure and no man is perfect? ??Taifu Yang has devoted himself to studying literary, Taoist and military strategies since he was a child. It is not surprising that the army dismounted and governed the people. However, building cities and building walls is a despicable occupation. Among the six arts of a gentleman, without this one, how could Taifu Yang be proficient in such a despicable occupation? If he was not proficient, Lord Feng strongly admonished him. Mr. Yang is in charge of the matter. I would like to ask, if something goes wrong with the project, will Mr. Feng bear the responsibility?"
Liu Hai¡¯s words are sharp enough, and they are not confusing. In the court, if you recommend a person to serve in a job, and this person messes up the matter, the recommender must jointly bear the responsibility;
For example, Yang Yi recommended Zhong Jianzhong as the coach of the Western Expedition. If Zhong Jianzhong failed in the Western Expedition, Yang Yi would have to bear a great responsibility.
Yang Yi is a person who dares to do anything. Feng Yu dare not guarantee this, otherwise Yang Yi can kill him by playing any tricks. Therefore, after being retorted by Liu Hai, Feng Yu suddenly did not dare to speak out.
The atmosphere in the Jinluan Palace seemed a bit strange. Although officials from Zhang Dun's group and officials from Yang Yi's group did not clearly regard each other as enemies, there were signs of tit-for-tat confrontation driven by the will of the two big figures. Could this be possible? Will it eventually cause the new party to split into two major factions, triggering a fierce political game?
¡°If Zhang Dun and Yang Yi become mortal enemies, it¡¯s unclear who will win.
But there is no doubt that it will set off a fierce political storm in the Song Dynasty.
I don¡¯t know how many people will fall into the abyss and never recover.
The prosperous situation of the Song Dynasty today is very likely to be crushed by a heavy blow and become a short-lived dream.
Many people are worried. At this time, Fan Chunren, the minister Zuocheng, walked out of the train andHe held up the wat board and said: "Queen Dowager Qibing, although the expansion of the capital city has been discussed many times, everything has yet to be decided. Should the city wall be built from all four sides or only one side? What kind of structure should be adopted? How much budget is needed? , whether to recruit civilian men, or to hire young men, or even how large the expansion needs to be, and whether the imperial court can bear it, these issues have not yet been decided. I believe that the imperial meeting should first implement these issues, and then discuss the candidates for the post before it is too late. "
Fan Chunren¡¯s words were meant to deflect conflicts, but they were supported by moderate officials in the DPRK. Even Li Qingchen, the minister¡¯s right servant, came out to agree.
Many officials from the Zhang and Yang factions also fell silent.
In fact, in the past few years, the repeated storms and purges in the court have made many people feel tired. They do not want to see another violent oscillation in the court, let alone see the current prosperous situation be destroyed. funeral; funeral
Just like people¡¯s minds after going through troubled times, this is what people want, so even though they knew Fan Chunren was being muddled, everyone still supported him.
Of course, if there are supporters, there will naturally be opponents. Zhang Shangying, the Minister of Civil Affairs, immediately came out to refute: "What Fan Xianggong said is wrong. The reason why the expansion of the capital is pending is precisely because of the lack of a person in charge. The Queen Mother, I think If you want to implement everything, you must first recommend a person in charge who is worthy of the important task, and at the same time dispatch officials to establish a special expansion promotion department. Then the promotion department will draw up a specific expansion plan and budget funds, and submit them to the audit The department will review it, and then report it to the Political Affairs Hall for approval. Only in this way can everything be sorted out quickly and in a clear order."
No matter what Zhang Shangying¡¯s intentions were, his words could not be said to be unreasonable. Even Yang Yi agreed with his statement in his heart.
Building a city is a relatively professional matter. In fact, not many ministers in this palace understand this. If they are allowed to argue here, the result may be that they will argue for several months and the matter will not be implemented;
As Zhang Shangying said, first set up a department dedicated to expansion, select officials and craftsmen with professional knowledge to enrich this department, and then let these professionals draw up a detailed expansion plan, and then submit it to the court for review. If this process is followed, Down the road, things will progress not only faster, but also more scientifically.
After a while, all the officials in the court fell silent again, and many people quietly looked at Yang Yi.
No one who can stand on this Golden Palace is a fool. Now it is obvious that this is no longer a question of how to handle the expansion project more appropriately. This has become a point of contention between Zhang and Yang officials.
Zhang Shangying was originally the chief clerk of a small county in a remote area. Zhang Dun appreciated his talents when he led the army to quell the Nanman rebellion, and was promoted all the way up. Although his words were reasonable, they did not help Zhang Dun's faction. mean.
Therefore, among the hundreds of officials in the palace, except for Zhang Dun and other officials, few agreed, and no one wanted to add fuel to the fire on this matter.
Having clearly seen what people wanted, Yang Yi did not wait for Luo Cheng and others to go out to argue again. He stood up first and said calmly: "Queen Mother, I am willing to take over the mission of expanding the capital."
As soon as Yang Yigang finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion in the hall;
Some people think that Yang Yi chickened out and was forced to accept this assignment.
Some people think that Yang Yi is taking the overall situation into consideration and does not want to have a confrontation with Zhang Dun to avoid another turmoil in the court.
In short, there are people who hold various opinions, but no matter what, everyone is secretly relieved, even Zhang Dun is no exception.
This time it can be said that he is testing Yang Yi again. Whether Yang Yi chooses to give in or confront him tit for tat is related to whether the politics of the Song Dynasty can continue smoothly.
What Yang Yi said last time when he came to his house was a statement, but it was impossible for Zhang Dun to believe it immediately, so he wanted to test it again.
It doesn¡¯t matter to Empress Dowager Liu behind the curtain that Yang Yi presides over the expansion of Tokyo City. In fact, she is also happy to let Yang Yi take charge of this matter;
With this matter dragging on, this enemy will never run around again and can always stay in Beijing for a year or two. She is a typical little woman who is used to depending on men. With Yang Yi in Beijing, she can Put her mind at ease.
She sat behind the bead curtain and asked in a rather majestic tone: "Taifu Yang, you have never been involved in building a city. Are you confident that you are qualified for this job?"
Hearing her majestic tone, Yang Yi felt quite interesting, and inexplicably, he imagined in his mind the scene of her tactfully expressing joy under him, as if he was about to live or die. It feels amazing to have a towering woman pinned down beneath you.
He put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, holding the hut and replied: "If the Queen Mother feels that the minister is not worthy of being dispatched, she can choose another capable person."
Hearing this, the officials in Zhang Dun's group were anxious. They finally blamed Yang Yi for this hard work. They were not willing to let it happen again.
The imperial envoy Feng Yu immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the expansion of the capital is of great importance, and it should be done by a capable minister like Yang Taifu. Although Yang Taifu has not been involved in the construction of the city, he only needs to be in the middle to coordinate the specific arrangements. The city building plan was drawn up by experienced officials and craftsmen. What's the problem?"
Yang Yi took the initiative to take over the mission, and the Yang officials said nothing. Seeing that no one objected anymore, Empress Dowager Liu said: "Okay, the matter is settled, and Taifu Yang will take charge of the expansion of the capital. Regarding the specific officials who need to be dispatched to serve, Taifu Yang should draw up a list as soon as possible for rapid implementation."
"My lord, I obey the order."
