Chapter 703: A Thankless Dispatch
@@@
It is very interesting that at the suggestion of Zhang Dan, half of the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee came forward to echo and let Yang Yi preside over the expansion of Tokyo City.
I have to say that Zhang Dian has not been the prime minister in vain in recent years, and it can really be said that he has responded to all calls.
Their thoughts Yang Yi knows very well that repairing the city and building the pond is a thankless task, which takes a long time, has a large workload, and requires countless materials.
Even if you repair the city, at most you will get some rewards, and it won't be much credit, the Chang'an City of the Sui and Tang Dynasties is magnificent enough, but how many people know who presided over the construction of Chang'an City?
Why don't so many people know about it? Because everyone thinks that this is the work of a craftsman, how much credit can you count as a craftsman? Without great merit, it is naturally impossible to be famous all over the world.
Yes, yes, let me build the city and build the wall, let me drink with thousands of craftsmen on the busy construction site every day, and throw mud on my face among the mountains of masonry and mud tiles;
Well, if you want to expand, expand the point, and put it in place at one time, so as not to expand in the future, so that Master Taifu can stay on the construction site for a long time!
Yang Yi felt funny when he thought about it, Zhang Dian could really do this thing, a bachelor from the top of the middle, Taifu, Guogong, I really hadn't heard of being sent to build a city.
The officials of Yang Yi's family are not old or young now, and the imperial envoy Luo Cheng immediately went out of the wat and objected loudly: "Queen Mother, the expansion of the capital, this is a matter of the Ministry of Industry. The residence of the emperor, the place where the society is located. The expansion of the capital is of great importance, and there must be no sloppiness. Mrs. Yang has no experience in building a city, so let him preside over the expansion project, which is child's play, and the minister thinks it must not be! ”
The imperial envoy Feng Yu immediately jumped out and retorted loudly: "Lord Luo's words are ridiculous, it is precisely because the expansion of the capital is very important that it is more necessary for a capable minister like Yang Taifu to preside over its affairs.
I want to be at the beginning. Yang Taifu He had the experience of leading the army to fight, and in the first battle of Yishui, he won the first big victory in the Liao war in a hundred years, which made the Liao army frightened and dared not face up to our Celestial Empire;
Moreover, when Mrs. Yang first served as the governor of Huanzhou, how could he have experience in governing the local area, and what was the result, just one year. Under the governance of Mrs. Yang, Huanzhou is thriving and thriving, which shows the talent of Mrs. Yang. Very unexpected;
Now that the expansion of Tokyo is related to the safety of the imperial capital, it is even more necessary for someone like Yang Taifu who can take on important responsibilities to preside over its affairs. to ensure that everything is safe. Lord Luo instead said that Mrs. Yang was unbearable, isn't it a big mistake? ”
Depend on. As soon as he saw Feng Yu, Yang Yi became angry. You gave me a princess or something, and the queen mother gave up after dialing it back once, but you said it a few more times, you didn't care about it, and you sprinkled a thousand words about building the city, aren't you going to be angry with me?
Yang Yi was silent, this was the signal, and the imperial envoy Liu Hai immediately went out of class and said: "Lord Feng, don't you hear it, there is no gold and no one is perfect, Mrs. Yang has devoted himself to studying Wen Taowu strategy since he was a child, and he has been on the horse to govern the army and the people on the horse, this is not surprising, but the matter of building a city and building a wall is a cheap business, among the six arts of a gentleman, but there is no such one, how can Mrs. Yang be proficient in this kind of cheap industry?" Since he is not proficient, Lord Feng forcibly admonished Mrs. Yang to preside over his affairs, and the official may ask, if something goes wrong with the project, will Lord Feng bear the responsibility? ”
Bang Hai's words are sharp enough, and they are not confused, in the court, you recommend a person to come out to do something, and this person messes things up, and the recommender does have to share the responsibility;
For example, when Yang Yi recommended Chong Jianzhong as the coach of the Western Expedition, if the Western Expedition failed, Yang Yi would have to bear a lot of responsibility.
Yang Yi is a person who dares to do anything, Feng Yu doesn't dare to take this guarantee, otherwise Yang Yi will be able to play him to death by playing some tricks casually. Therefore, being refuted by Liu Hai like this, Feng Yu suddenly didn't dare to speak out.
Although the officials of the Zhang Tun family and the officials of Yang Yi did not clearly regard each other as enemies, they were driven by the will of the two big men, and there were already signs of-for-tat, which would eventually cause the new party to split into two major factions and trigger a violent political game?
If Zhang Dian and Yang Yi become mortal enemies, it is unknown who will kill the deer.
But there is no doubt about one thing, that is, it will set off a violent political storm in the Great Song Dynasty.
I don't know how many people will fall into the abyss because of this, and they will never recover.
The thriving situation of the Great Song Dynasty today is very likely to be shattered by heavy punches and become a short-lived dream.
Many people became worried. At this time, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Fan Chunren walked out of the train, held the wat board and played: "Empress Dowager Qibing, the expansion of the capital, although the matter has been discussed many times, but all matters are undecided, whether to build the city wall from all sides, or only to expand one side, what kind of structure to adopt, how much budget is needed, whether to recruit people, or to hire young people, and even how big it is to expand, whether the court can bear it, these questions are not decided, the minister thinks that the court should first implement these problems, and then discuss the candidate for the principal. ”
Fan Chunren's words had the meaning of diverting contradictions, but they were supported by moderate officials in the DPRK and China, and even Shangshu's right servant, Li Qingchen, also went out to echo it.
Among the officials of the Zhang and Yang factions, many people were also silent.
In fact, in the past few years, the last storm in the court and the clearing of Xian again and again have made many people tired, and they do not want to see the violent oscillations in the court and the central government, let alone see the current prosperous situation being buried;
Just like the minds of people after the troubled times, this is what the people want, so knowing that Fan Chunren is muddy, everyone still supports him.
Of course, there are supports, and naturally there are opponents, Zhang Shangying, the secretary of the ministry, immediately went out to refute: "Fan Xianggong's words are bad, the expansion of the capital is undecided, it is precisely because of the lack of a person in charge, the queen mother, the minister thinks that if you want to implement everything, you must first recommend a person who is worthy of the important responsibility, and at the same time send officials to set up a special expansion and lifting division, and then the promotion department will draw up a specific expansion plan, as well as budget funds, and submit it to the audit department for review, and report to the government hall for approval after passing, only in this way, Everything can be quickly sorted out and organized. ”
No matter what Zhang Shangying's intentions are, but his words cannot be said to be unreasonable, even Yang Yi agrees with his statement in his heart.
The construction of the city is a relatively professional matter, and there are not many people in this palace who actually understand this, so let them argue here, and the result may be that they will fight for several months, and the matter will not be implemented;
As Zhang Shangying said, first set up a department in charge of expansion, select officials and craftsmen with professional knowledge to enrich the department, and then these professionals draw up a detailed expansion plan, and then submit it to the imperial court for review.
Suddenly, the hundred officials in the court were silent again, and many people quietly looked at Yang Yi.
No one is a fool who can stand on this Jinluan Palace, and now it is clear that this is no longer a question of what to do with the expansion project. This has become a wrestling point between officials of the Zhang and Yang factions.
Zhang Shangying was only the chief secretary of a small county in the border wasteland, and he was promoted all the way up when Zhang Dian led the army to level the Nanban Rebellion.
Therefore, among the hundreds of officials in the palace, except for the officials of the Zhang Dian family, there are very few who echo it, and no one wants to add fuel to the fire in this matter.
Seeing clearly what the people wanted, Yang Yi didn't wait for Luo Cheng and the others to come out to argue again, he stood up first, and said calmly: "Queen Mother, the minister is willing to take over the mission to expand the capital." ”
As soon as Yang Yi finished speaking, there was a buzzing discussion in the hall;
Some people think that Yang Yi retreated and was forced to accept this mission.
Some people also think that Yang Yi is taking care of the overall situation and does not want to be stiff with Zhang Dun, so as not to cause another storm in the DPRK and China.
In short, there are people with various views, but no matter what, everyone is secretly relieved in their hearts, even Zhang Dian is no exception.
This time it can be said that he is testing Yang Yi again, whether Yang Yi chooses to back down or-for-tat, which is related to whether the politics of the Great Song Dynasty can go on smoothly.
What Yang Yi said last time he came to his mansion was a statement, but it was impossible to make Zhang Dian believe it immediately, so he had to test it again.
Yang Yi presided over the expansion of Tokyo City, and the Empress Dowager Liu behind the bead curtain didn't care, in fact, she was also willing to let Yang Yi preside over the matter;
With this thing dragging on, this enemy will never run around anymore, she can always stay in Beijing for a year or two, she is a typical little woman, a little woman who is used to clinging to men, and Yang Yi is in Beijing, so that she can feel at ease.
She sat behind the bead curtain and asked in a rather dignified tone: "Mrs. Yang, you have never been in contact with the construction of the city, are you confident that you can be qualified for this errand?" ”
Hearing her majestic tone, Yang Yi felt quite interesting, and the scene of her tactfully accepting joy under her and wanting to live and die inexplicably appeared in her heart. It's amazing to hold a woman on top of you.
He threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart, and replied: "If the queen mother feels that the ministers are not worthy of being sent, she will choose another meritocracy." ”
As soon as they heard this, the officials of Zhang Dan's family were anxious, and finally pushed this drudgery on Yang Yi's head, how could they be willing to repeat it again.
The imperial envoy Feng Yu immediately went out and said: "The Queen Mother, the expansion of the capital is very important, and it should be a capable minister like Yang Taifu to take charge of it, although Yang Taifu has not been in contact with the construction of the city, but he only needs to be in the center of the overall planning, and the specific city construction plan has its own experienced officials and craftsmen to draw up." What's the matter? ”
Yang Yi took the initiative to come out and take over the mission, and the Yang officials didn't say anything anymore, and the Empress Dowager Liu saw that no one objected anymore, so she said: "Okay, this matter is so decided, and Mrs. Yang will come to the general department to lead the expansion of the capital, and what officials need to be transferred to serve in the matter, Mrs. Yang should draw up a list as soon as possible, so as to implement it quickly." ”
"Minister, obey the order."
