Chapter 738: Verdict
Chapter 738 Judgment
With the guidance, the topic of the ministers gradually led to the question of who should be on the monument.
Yang Reform was also happy to be debated by the ministers.
Sage, Ming Taizu, Three Emperors and Five Emperors This is indisputable to be on the monument.
But later, the question of who should go up the monument and who should not go up the monument will be debated.
“…… Although the former Song Dynasty was weak, it was also orthodox in China, how could it be said so badly......" a minister said angrily. The topic has been talked about farther and farther, and it has come to the issue of "judgments" that characterize various dynasties.
“…… Why can't the former Song Dynasty be on it? ……”
“…… It's just not good, the former Song Dynasty was so weak and ......, what reason is there to be on the monument? ……”
“…… Why not, there were also 100,000 martyrs in the former Song Dynasty, and their loyalty and martyrdom can be seen, why can't they be on it, such a loyal martyr's thing, how can it not be? ……”
The officials argued, and Yang Reform didn't care, anyway, it was up to the ministers to fight.
……
Fighting, fighting, fighting.
What Han classics, Tang turtle, Song snotty words were all pulled out, which surprised Yang Gai.
The reason is that an official saw that the person he "recommended" failed to go to the monument, and he felt unhappy, and because the atmosphere of the debate in this hall was too warm, "accidentally", he shouted out Song snot, this time, this Wenhua Hall is "out of control", this said that Song snot can't go up, it can't represent Huaxia, and that said it can; This said that even the Tang turtle can be on it, why can't the Song Dynasty be on it, since the problem of the Tang turtle is involved, then the Han Dynasty still relies on women and relatives to ensure the peace of the country, and someone has pulled the Han Dynasty in. In this Wenhua Palace, it can be regarded as a pot of porridge, and it is a pot of porridge.
Although Yang Reform was surprised, he did not stop the ministers, and let the ministers argue, and the ministers were also accustomed to this kind of unscrupulous arguments, and their words became more and more arrogant.
Seeing that the controversy in the court gradually became a farce, Shi Fenglai pretended not to see it, Han Yi also shook his head when he saw it, he had the intention to stop this situation, but he was not the first assistant, and the emperor had no intention of stopping it, why did he come out to take care of this matter?
Yang Gengai listened to the ministers talk freely about the "black history" of various dynasties without scruples, and listened with relish.
This hot topic was noisy for a while, and the ministers finally realized that this issue should not be discussed here so without scruples, and then gradually quieted down.
This Wenhua Hall is strangely quiet.
"Hehehe......" Yang Reform first laughed for a while, it is interesting to encounter this kind of interesting thing.
“…… I heard that you guys are talking about Tang turtles and Song snot, so I want to ask, what is my Ming judgment? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.
The ministers are all like that. It's all the emperor's fault, this is so indulgent that everyone talks endlessly. Now the emperor asks the judgment of the Ming Dynasty, so what judgment do you have to give to the Ming Dynasty?
Yang Reform has also heard of the judgments about these dynasties, not only the Tang turtle and the Song snot, but finally there is a clear sloppy, but now there is no clearing.
"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty ancestor has already said, 'There is no harmony between the Han Dynasty, no alliance of the Tang Dynasty, no Song Dynasty's year-old coins, and no gifts of brothers and enemies', it is said that there is no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, ...... if future generations talk about my Ming judgment, there will never be any Tang tortoise, Song snot and other buried words, my Ming has always only had the Son of Heaven to guard the country, and the monarch and the minister are dead, and the society is ......" Han Yi saw that Shi Fenglai didn't dare to talk, and he could only stand up and end the matter with unimaginable strong language, Otherwise, this laughing stock-like thing will spread, and the world will not laugh off their big teeth.
As soon as Han Yi's words came out, all the ministers became solemn in unison, and this simple remark aroused everyone's resonance and pride. …,
Yang Gai listened, and he couldn't help nodding, at this moment, the court, which was originally a little playful, immediately became generous and tragic, and the words full of masculinity aroused people's blood boiling.
"No harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute...... these few words, also on the monument, I want to engrave these words on the monument, so that future generations will always remember my Ming style, remember my strong and unyielding spirit ......" Yang Reform was very moved by these words. If I am not mistaken, the judgment of later generations on the Ming Dynasty is "no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji", but it is not a monarch and a minister, Chongzhen in history used his death to draw an end to the strength and fierceness of the Ming Dynasty, and he was this Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty Shengming ......"
The ministers shouted in unison.
“…… I'm tired today, so let's stop here, about this monument, if you have any good suggestions or good ideas, you can write it down, and discuss it next time, this monument, build it or not, how to build it, it's not just my business, it's not just your family's business, but my Chinese people's business, since you should ask the people of the world for advice, should let the people of the world have the opportunity to participate in the construction of this monument...... the first assistant can be? Yang Reform was also excited by Han Yi's words, so he didn't have the heart to be wordy, and immediately took advantage of this posture to establish the construction of this monument.
"The minister is here." Shi Fenglai immediately came out and agreed.
"The matter of building a monument is a major event for my entire Ming Dynasty, when the world opens the way of speech, asks the people of the world how to build a monument, when the people of the world participate in the design and construction of the monument to the altar of people, in order to gather people's hope, this matter, when there are important ministers of the imperial court, in order to show respect and piety, this matter, it will be led by the chief assistant, and the general review of this matter ......" Yang Reform said. Although Yang Reform was not very satisfied with Shi Fenglai's timidity, he still gave Shi Fenglai a good errand. &*.. Fastest Update**
"The minister's decree ......" Shi Fenglai immediately happily agreed, such a good thing, but it finally fell on his head.
“…… This matter, also by the Department of General Administration is responsible for assisting, the Department of General Administration through the newspaper to the people of the world to consult the plan of building a monument, to consult who should be on the monument, what should be on the monument, to consult the relevant matters of the monument, all matters related to the construction of the monument of the speech, can be mailed to the Department of General Administration, by the Department of General Administration, where the collection of letters, documents, not because of the slightest words and slack, when the truth is sorted out, if there are pertinent and useful suggestions and programs, when the selection, when to reply, this is my Ming Dynasty and even the Chinese major event, and not a trace of slackness,...... Yang said solemnly.
"Obey the order!" The official immediately agreed. The unthinking promise is indeed very suitable for the situation, but after thinking about the emperor's words a little, this minister immediately has a big head and solicits plans and suggestions from the world, how many people will be busy with it? I'm afraid he's going to be buried by a sea of letters and papers. I get dizzy right now.
“…… Your Majesty, the manpower of this general secretary is really not enough! The envoy of the general secretary came back to his senses and immediately cried that he was not manpowered.
"It doesn't matter, this matter is very important, there is a first assistant in charge, since when many parties mobilize manpower to assist you in the General Administration, the General Administration Department can expand the scale to deal with this matter, in addition, you can also seconded the prisoners from the Guozijian, if it is still not enough, you can also seconded people from other ministries and yamen, in short, this matter must be handled well, by the way, the General Administration Department will also discuss the matters discussed in the court today about the monument to the altar of the people announced, the matter of building the monument, in the future, it will form a permanent column, all the results of the discussion, The matters concerning the construction of the monument that have been summed up must be announced to the world and the opinions of the people of the world should be sought,...... In short, about the construction of the monument, it is good to have the participation of the whole world, so as to unite the hearts and hopes of the people in the world. Yang reformed. …,
"Command!" The official agreed.
This official promised very well, but some courtiers were not happy, and the emperor still wanted to announce the matters discussed in the court today? Isn't that out of their ugliness? If every move in the court is announced, they probably won't have the face to come out to meet people.
"Your Majesty, this, this ......, that ......" Some ministers couldn't stand still, and immediately stood up and played.
"What?" Yang Reform is indeed a little dizzy, and this sauna is boring.
“…… Your Majesty, that's it! Your Majesty, can you not announce today's events in the court in the palace newspaper? The minister probably remembered what he had said in this court, and was so frightened that he immediately told the emperor not to make it public.
"Oh......" Yang Gai looked at the minister as if he wanted to say it or not, and his not very bright brain finally worked, as if he understood something, and said: "...... Oh, I know, the process of discussion in the court should not be completely announced, and the Secretary of General Affairs remembers that what is announced is only the result......"
"Command!" The Secretary for Communications agreed. The general political envoy of the General Administration Department is also quite happy, his general political secretary seems to have risen a lot after this incident, which is a good thing for his general political secretary, although there is a mother-in-law in this matter, but Shi Fenglai is a very face-to-face first assistant.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The official finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Reform dealt with this matter, and was ready to go back to rest, there were too many people in this hall, and it was a sauna day, Yang Reform was sweating all over, and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to his body, and he insisted on it for a while, and he couldn't hold on, he was really dizzy, and his head couldn't handle things.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to ask for, please ask Your Majesty to show me......" Shi Feng came to see that the emperor was about to disperse, and immediately asked, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask about something.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, now the monument to the altar of people is still under discussion, and it is still far from the date of completion, but the people love Your Majesty, this matter of bowing to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should I do? Please also ask Your Majesty to show ......" Shi Fenglai remembered that he still had something to say, so he immediately said it.
"Oh, this matter is ......, so let's use the two altars of heaven and earth to accept the worship on behalf of me, let the people go to the two altars of heaven and earth to worship, and when the monument to the altar of people is built in the future, it will be changed to the altar of people to worship the monument......" Yang Gai thought about it, and immediately said, this alternative plan was also expected.
"The minister understands!" Shi Fenglai immediately agreed.
The ministers also have no opinions, the construction of the "Tower of Babel" general altar monument is already the first major event in the Ming Dynasty, so what kind of living worship is really just a sesame-sized thing, and there is nothing worth fighting about.
After finishing speaking, Yang Reform also dispersed the court.
……
The emperor's solicitation of plans and suggestions for the construction of the monument from the people of the world once again ignited the enthusiasm of the world.
In the streets and alleys, immediately run to tell each other. Everyone has the right to make suggestions to the Son of Heaven, and everyone can make suggestions to the emperor through letters, which has never happened before.
……
Following.
As expected, the newspaper was out of stock, and Fan Weicheng had to keep printing, and the printing house of the newspaper was turned around all day and night, and there was no chance to be idle at all. The previous batch of Di Bao has not been printed yet, and this new Di Bao has to be printed again, which is really too busy.
"Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper......"
"Your Majesty has solicited plans and matters for the construction of the Altar of Man Monument from the people of the world......"
“…… Anyone who has a good proposal or plan can be mailed to His Majesty......"
The whole city of Beijing is full of newsboys' shouts.
It's just early in the morning, but people can't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and rush to the street, to the teahouse and restaurant, in order to get a sneak peek of the whole picture. …,
Some people are excited, some people are moved, some people are depressed, and some people are lost.
In the teahouse.
The people who had already gathered to listen to the newspaper had already gathered, and because there were so many people who came, they drove away the unique coolness of the morning.
"Poor, poor! …… God let us be born in this world, and let us experience so many rare things, why didn't my mother let me study? Otherwise, we can write to Your Majesty now......"
When the old master who read the newspaper finished reading it, some people immediately began to cry sadly. If nothing else, I am uneducated and illiterate, so I missed such a rare opportunity.
"Alas, shopkeeper Qin, don't cry, you said you are a pig killer, you can't read and no one laughs at you, why are you crying? If you can't write, can't you find someone who can write? Someone immediately despised the mourner.
"You don't understand, you don't understand! I suffered a loss, I suffered a loss, I suffered a big ......loss, I knew that there was today, what's the matter, I shouldn't have let my mother save that few dollars, how can I learn a few words! Now I'm at a loss, I'm illiterate, I've suffered a big loss......" The person who was called the shopkeeper Qin immediately said with a look of regret, and couldn't help but say that he had suffered a loss.
"Shopkeeper Qin, since you have suffered a loss, then your next generation should study, and you can't suffer any more losses...... don't you say?" Someone came up with an idea.
"That's right, that's right, I'm going back, let my son go to school immediately, how can I get this, I can't save this money anymore, and I will hurt my son for a lifetime in the future!" The shopkeeper Qin said immediately.
When the old master saw it, he stroked his beard and laughed, which can be regarded as the edification of the heart to the saint.
"Old Master, do you say, does Your Majesty really read everyone's letters?" The emperor asked the people of the world for advice on building a monument, and everyone could write a letter to the emperor, which was a rare event, and some people did not believe that this matter was true and was full of doubts.
"This naturally has rules, this matter has been made very clear in the newspaper, not the letter is directly handed over to His Majesty, but by the General Administration Department Yamen on behalf of the collection and sorting, if there is a good suggestion, it will be screened step by step, and finally delivered to His Majesty, want to send the letter directly to His Majesty, this Ming Dynasty, may not exceed thirty people...... "The old master is also a scholar, he is very clear about these, and he explained to everyone with a smile, thinking of this person's words, he laughed.
"I see! We thought it was a letter delivered directly to His Majesty......" the man said with some disappointment.
"You don't pee either, what is your identity, can you compare with Your Majesty? I also want to send the letter directly to His Majesty, you think you are a cabinet scholar, you think it is your scholar......" Someone immediately sneered.
"That's it, it's ......" Someone immediately coaxed.
The old master smiled and shook his head.
"Old man, let's talk about it......" the old man interjected.
The teahouse, which was originally noisy, immediately quieted down.
“…… This matter of building a monument to the altar of people is also a major event of my Ming Dynasty, and we are all descendants of China, and we are all descendants of China, and we will build a monument to commemorate ......our ancestors, which is filial piety," the old master said.
Everyone nodded.
“…… Therefore, this matter, can participate, must not be missed, although Your Majesty will not personally read our letter, but if you really have a good idea, you might as well write to Your Majesty, if it is valued, maybe it can really be handed to Your Majesty, if it can be valued by Your Majesty, this newspaper said, it will also be announced through the newspaper, you think, what a great honor this is? The old master continued.
"The old master is right......"
“…… That's ......"
“…… Our letter just can't reach Your Majesty, but this monument to the altar of cultivation is also a monument to our own ancestors, and we don't have to ignore this matter, it doesn't matter if you can't believe it to Your Majesty, this matter must arrive, think about it, these three emperors and five emperors are not our ancestors? ......," said the old master again. …,
"The old master said it very ......"
"Makes sense......"
There was another round of approval.
……
As the imperial court opened up its way and collected the opinions of people all over the world about the construction of the monument, the literate people of the Ming Dynasty immediately became busy.
The business of many people who relied on writing letters for others immediately improved, and too many people had the attitude of giving it a try, and even if it was not successful, the fact that they had written letters to the emperor was worth boasting about.
The construction of the monument to the altar of people immediately became the focus of attention of the entire Ming Dynasty.
……
Forbidden city.
Sun Yuanhua, who Yang Reform had been waiting for, finally arrived in the capital.
For the construction of the monument, Yang Reform counted on Sun Yuanhua.
Yang Reform is taking a nap, this is tired of reading the report, even after the screening of the General Administration Department and the Master of Ceremonies, but the report in this regard, it is still uncountable, Yang Reform is so tired, since he has made a wish to the people of the world, Yang Reform is not lazy, at least the attitude is also to have, and it is not good to chill everyone's hearts at the beginning, not to mention the hearts of officials, no matter what, this posture must be enough.
"Your Majesty, Sun Yuanhua asks to see you." Wang Chengen whispered a report.
Yang Reform was erected at once.
"See ......," Yang Gengai shouted in his dream. After shouting, it has not been fully erected.
"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed, for the emperor's quick reaction, Wang Chengen was a little surprised, which was too fast.
Not long after, Sun Yuanhua entered the warm pavilion, saying that it was a warm pavilion, in fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is an "air-conditioned room", Yang Reform is afraid of heat, no matter where he goes, there is always a large amount of ice to cool down.
"Minister Sun Yuanhua knocks to see Your Majesty......" Sun Yuanhua knocked as soon as he came in.
"Qing family, please ......" Yang Reform was startled by Sun Yuanhua's appearance, this is too dark, Bao Zheng is not as black as you.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Yuanhua thanked him and got up.
"Is the Qing family pitch black? Why is it so black......" Yang Reform asked without thinking, not that Yang Reform was too talkative, but that this Sun Yuanhua was too dark, so black.
Sun Yuanhua that! Very embarrassed, I don't know how to reply, he is so dark, he is also sunburned, and there is no way, whether it is steelmaking or burning cement, he always has to run under the sun, it is impossible to raise his body in vain, so black, it is certain.
"Hehehe,...... It's because I lost my words, I shouldn't make fun of the Qing family, the Qing family is so dark, it must be caused by the exposure under the sun every day,...... It's hard work......" Yang Reform consciously lost his words, and immediately said with a smile. In fact, this is not a big deal, a small joke can enhance the relationship between the monarch and the minister.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this, this is indeed a black ......," Sun Yuanhua said embarrassedly. The emperor joked with him as soon as they met, but Sun Yuanhua felt that the emperor was very gentle, he was very easy to get along with, and it was worth working hard for the emperor.
"Hehehe, forget it, don't talk about this, it's important to talk about business, presumably the Qing family already knows what I recruited the Qing family to enter Beijing for, and now the construction of the monument to the altar of people is a major event for my entire Ming Dynasty, and how to repair, I can count on the Qing family......" Yang Reform did not hide his intentions at all, and said the importance of the matter innocently.
"Your Majesty, the minister will do his best not to disappoint His Majesty, the minister can build this monument, it is really the glory of the minister......" Sun Yuanhua said here, it is already very exciting, the benefits of building a monument to the altar of people, needless to say, it can be said that it will be famous with the monument of the altar of people, which is also a great achievement.
"Hehe, okay, I don't talk much nonsense, the Qing family directly said how to repair the monument, whether it can be repaired, how high it can be repaired......" Yang Reform asked, for engineering construction, Yang Reform is really at a loss, completely outside the door, and can only pin hope on Sun Yuanhua, who is also the two major developers of metallurgy and building materials. …,
After talking about the topic, Sun Yuanhua immediately became serious, and when it came to his professional field, Sun Yuanhua immediately became authoritative.
"I don't know how Your Majesty plans to build it, in what form, and how high?" Sun Yuanhua asked.
"This monument, naturally, the higher the better, if you can build fifty zhang, don't build forty zhang, if you can build forty zhang, don't build thirty zhang......" Yang Reform said without thinking. What Yang Reform wants is a "miracle" building, and what he wants is to use miracle architecture to suppress foreign races and achieve the role of bending people and soldiers without a fight.
When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he was stunned, didn't he say thirty zhang before? Why is it fifty zhang now? That's really too high.
"Your Majesty, this, fifty zhang? Isn't that too high? Sun Yuanhua asked weakly, but he was really scared to death by the emperor's words.
"It is not necessary to build fifty zhang, but if possible, build fifty zhang, if the conditions allow, build sixty zhang, I have no suggestion, I mean, the higher the better......," Yang Gai said affirmatively.
“…… Your Majesty......" Sun Yuanhua immediately smiled bitterly. When he came, he also did some homework, and he was still very sure about the 30 zhang stele, but now the emperor directly wants to repair 50 zhang......
"Don't be frightened by this number, you must know that in the Tang Dynasty, without cement, the tower can also be repaired to twenty or thirty zhang high, so if my Ming people's altar, if it is only twenty or thirty zhang high, it is completely meaningless, I might as well not repair it, so if you want to repair it, you must build it into a building that can shock the world, and build this monument into a 'miracle' ......" Yang Reform said.
“…… Your Majesty, this is too high, and the minister is really not sure......" Sun Yuanhua was about to faint to death, his previous confidence was full, but now it has become "desperate", he is really not sure to cultivate something fifty zhang high.
"No, it's not that I'm not sure, but I must fix it, to be honest, I'm not sure about this matter, but is there really a way out? No, so, there is no way out ......for the Qing family, hehehe, the Qing family should not think about retreating, they can only ...... how to repair, the Qing family does not have to worry about the silver money, how much money does it cost, even if it costs three or four million silver coins to repair, I can take it ......" Yang Reform smiled and "forced" Sun Yuanhua, in order to let Sun Yuanhua completely dispel the retreat, except for one road on the "Huashan", there is no other way to go.
“…… Minister...... Understand ...... "Seeing that the emperor said such a positive thing, Sun Yuanhua was not hypocritical, let alone shirked, he directly agreed to come down, and he agreed to come down, but his mind was more stable, and he had no previous fear."
“…… I asked the Qing family to repair the monument of fifty zhang, it is not without a little basis ......, the big wild goose pagoda, without the use of cement, can be repaired twenty or thirty zhang high, now the Qing family can build a tower with cement, if you do not set this goal a little higher, isn't there no little challenge? After Yang Gengai set a goal for Sun Yuanhua, he began to discuss it in detail. Although Yang Reform is a layman in architecture, he also knows some things, such as reinforced concrete, if he is not a little sure, Yang Reform will not be blind to command.
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, thirty zhang for today's construction methods, is indeed nothing, the matter of the altar, is to bear the expectations of the world, if it is simple, I am afraid that it will disappoint the people of the world......" After determining the goal, Sun Yuanhua boldly defined.
"Yes, so the altar must be built to ...... magnificence, I thought about it, such a tall building, I'm afraid it really has to be made of steel and iron bones......" Yang Reform didn't talk nonsense, and directly prepared to use reinforced concrete.
"Steel?" Sun Yuanhua asked.
"Yes, the steel and iron bones ......," Yang Gai said with great certainty.
