Chapter 143 The First Discussion on the Construction of the Garden (3)

Next, Lei Tingchang drew a sketch of the palace and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find someone to paint a light golden banner, Su embroidery, and search for one day, and then brought it to the palace by Sushun and presented it to the emperor.

First, I handed in the sign in, and then waited in the straight house of the court room. From time to time, I was busy. The emperor's birthday festival was approaching. Although the emperor had many imperial edicts that were not allowed to be squandered for several years, the governors of various provinces did not dare to take it seriously. As soon as the first month of this year, the exchanges on the Dragon Road were endless, all the differences in the gifts that came to Beijing to send - Sushun was in Beijing for many years, and such things were no longer surprising.

In addition to the gift list, the gifts were sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the governors and governors of various provinces gradually stood up according to the distance and distance of the road and went to Beijing to celebrate his time. He was considered late. For example, Lu Jianying, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, arrived in Beijing on the third day of the fifth month. He had to wait until June 13, and only after the flowering period would he return to the south.

While waiting, he thought about his thoughts. From a distance, he saw someone flashing near the Xianliang Sect. Su Shun's eyes were sharp and he knew that there were Zaiyuan and the military service department had dispersed. Next, he summoned officials from various provinces to Beijing.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, the eunuch summoned the Shanxi Governor Sushun, the Shaanxi Governor Zhang Liangji, and the Shaanxi Governor Zeng Wangyan met with him.

The three of them sorted out their appearance, and Senggelinqin was the lead minister. They all arrived at Shende Hall and entered the warming hall. The emperor was sitting upright behind the imperial case and reading the memorial. Several of them were old officials. There would be no hindrance in this kind of etiquette. He took off his big hat and did not dare to raise his head. He slapped the horse's hooves and bowed down to salute. "Zhang Liangji, the acting governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, is the acting governor of Shaanxi, Zeng Wangyan, the acting governor of Shanxi, and the slave Sushun, respectfully requesting the emperor's hooves, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long."

"Zhang Liangji, I have seen the memorandum you gave me during your tenure. Although the land of Shaanxi has been barren for a long time and needs to communicate with the outside world, the railway is expendable. From Xi'an to Beijing, there are always more than 2,000 miles? Compared with Jiangning Railway, the Beijing-Bao Railway is more than three or five times longer. If you cannot come up with a complete plan in advance, you will not recruit a large number of civilians and farmers while building a railway. In the northwest, the construction of a railway cannot be easily started." He said, "I will not do anything to damage the matter of treating and treating the meridian."

"Yes, the wise and wise are not better than the emperor." Zhang Liangji said, "I also think that it is too early to talk about the method of railway construction at this time in the northwest."

"Zeng Wangyan," the emperor called his name and looked down, "This is the first time you have come to Beijing?"

"Yes." Zeng Wangyan suddenly saw Tianyan, and his heart was beating. When the emperor asked him, he hesitated for a moment and quickly answered, "I, Zeng Wangyan, come to see the emperor."

"I remember that you were a Jinshi of the 22nd year of the Emperor of the State Council and promoted him from the position of the provincial chief, right?" The emperor's prestige grew more and more. Many other provinces came to Beijing and were often scared to speak for the officials he summoned. He also had experiences. In this case, it was not too strict, so he could only comfort him with gentle words. "The last year he wrote a document in Shaanxi and arrested the fugitive criminals. The day after the order was reached, Jin Xiang was brought to justice in less than three days - it can be seen that you still have some experience in the province's criminal title!"

"I am not afraid to do my best to do my best. The last year's affairs were entirely determined by the Governor Zhang. Qin's offender Jin was panicked, so he was captured by the officials sent by me. This is all my edicts that I followed the emperor..."

His words were so dark that Su Shun knelt on the side and almost laughed out loud. The emperor also found it funny and waved his hand and interrupted him, "The northwest land was called barren in ancient times. Most people could not read, but the punishment was the name of money and grain, which was the most hindering the livelihood of the people. For the time being, money, grain and taxes were not discussed, but only the name of punishment, which was right and wrong. The people had their own account in their hearts. The court tried the case and decided to make the public, and the people had nothing to say. If there was a slight partiality, the dissatisfaction in their hearts would only fall on the court in the end! Therefore, although your duties were subject to people's livelihood, they should also be more careful in the various ends of punishment that were related to life and death."

"Not mentioning this year, starting next year, the court will have another order. In addition to submitting murder cases in the province, in addition to submitting them to the Ministry of Justice every year, I will also issue an edict, and carefully review them, and confirm that there is no hidden one's point. Only after verifying the truth and the crime can you report it to the court." He said, "If the Ministry of Justice recommends it, and find out that the case handlers are careless, those who should not be asked for the crime will be asked first, I will ask the responsibilities of the provincial government and the governors and the governors in the province. You must remember this point."

"Yes, the emperor's teachings and teachings to the ministers to take administrative methods, the first step is to seek truth from facts. I should follow the sages and follow them without any contradictory."

"Next year I will go to the west and take Taiyuan as the end. At that time, we will discuss national affairs again."

Zhang Liangji was stunned. The emperor was going to go to the Western Tour next year? He didn't hear any news in advance? He couldn't let him think too much at that time, so he hurriedly met, "Yes! At that time, I will lead the subjects of Shaanxi to welcome the emperor!"

The emperor nodded and stopped talking. The scene could not be cold when the king and his ministers met. When Senggelinqin saw it, he ordered, "Kneel down and rest!" He took Zhang Liangji and Zeng Wangyan and retreated.

Sushun left without it. Seeing that the emperor stood up a little tired, he also got up, "Emperor?"

"Hey? You haven't left yet?"

"Yes, I am here today and I am going to offer treasures to the emperor." Su Shun said with a smile, "The treasure has not been presented, so I dare not kneel down and rest."

The ministers who met all morning were talking about major national affairs. Although this cannot be missing for a day, after many years, after the initial freshness and glory, he only felt that this became more and more a chore: they were serious and did not dare to have any blasphemy at all. It was too boring! Listening to Sushun's words of offering treasures, the emperor's eyes lit up, "What kind of treasure is it? But I have to tell you, if I don't like it in my heart, not only will I be rewarded, but I will also punish you!"

"Don't worry, if it weren't for a real treasure, how could the servant dare to invite the emperor to look at the dragon's eyes?" He winked at Liufu. The latter approached and took out the scroll with him, and gradually spread it in front of the emperor's eyes. The emperor looked carefully. A banner in front of him was decorated with red and colorful colors, and the overlapping pavilions were very distinct. At first glance, he thought it was the scenery of the Old Summer Palace that was drawn by the painter. After careful look, he knew it was not. The patterns in the painting showed the halls and pavilions that he had never seen before. They were carefully designed and polished everywhere. The overall palace and villa garden seemed like a pavilion in the air. However, the only thing that was not satisfied was that they were only drawing pictures, but there was no reality, and they felt like painting cakes to fill their hunger. "What is this? I seem to look familiar!"

"The Emperor of the Holy Ming Dynasty has no mistakes. This is one of the most beautiful scenery in the Old Summer Palace. However, I think that the scenery in the Old Summer Palace is full of the Holy Ancestors, Shizong and Gaozong's ancestors, and the ancestors of the three dynasties, have worked hard to pass on them. For hundreds of years, although there have been occasional renovations, it is impossible to hide the destruction of wind and rain. Therefore, I dared to repair one of the scenes slightly and present them to the emperor to see them."

"Yeah, yeah." He said, and the emperor nodded frequently, "Where is this?"

"Reply to my master, this is the place where the Qingyi Garden in Wanshou Mountain is located by Kunming Lake."

"Ah! Yes." After he reminded, the emperor gradually recognized it. It is true that the scenery of Qingyi Garden is close to it, but it is very different from the original. Many palaces, towers and pavilions were not before. It was about counting, and there were as many as one or two hundred households! After getting excited, he felt that it was inappropriate: How much money would it cost to renovate such a large garden? When he thought of this, his spirit was a little lonely again.

Su Shun saw it, but pretended not to know it, and asked carefully, "Is the emperor not happy? If there is any disagreement with the holy wishes, please ask the emperor to order it. After the servant goes down, he will order them..."

"It's not that I don't like it, but if this kind of tosses will cost too much!"

Sushun intended to chase the emperor out of this sentence, and after hearing it, he immediately fell down, "Emperor, I have something to say."

"What?"

"Emperor, in the second year of Xianfeng, the slave was picked up by the emperor and kept accompanying the emperor and his father for several years. I know very well that over the past few years, the emperor has been betrayed others, planned the people of the world, and planned the country, and planned the country, and made various plans. Only then can he have the prosperous spirit of today's peaceful and peaceful people's duty." He took a breath and continued, "Although I didn't study much, I often heard the Qing Guests in the mansion tell me that the sage king who values ​​the world like the emperor, let alone the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Tang and Song ancestors of the previous dynasty could not be compared with the Tang and Song ancestors of our dynasty; even the sage emperor, who is known as wise and wise, should be far behind!"

"In those days, the Emperor of the Saint Ancestor, who had made great achievements, also had the Chengde Summer Resort and the Summer Palace, and had a trip to build the Chengde Summer Palace. However, the emperor never greedy for pleasure. The holy heart thought of it was all national economy and people's livelihood. The slave..." Sushun sniffed half-true and half-false, making a crying tone. "The slave wanted to make suggestions several times over the years, but he was afraid that he would miss the emperor's love for the people, so he didn't dare to report it easily. This time, the slave said: The emperor worked hard for the world for ten years, which was seen by everyone in the world, and it was time to enjoy the wealth of the Tian family!"

"Bah!" the emperor spat at him, "What does it mean to 'it be time to enjoy the wealth of the Tian family'? Is it because you, a slave, that I am already at the age of seventy and eighty years old and can do nothing except enjoyment?"

"No, no, no! How dare I think this way?" Sushun secretly cursed himself for being wronged and quickly defended himself. Finally, he was a little anxious. "I want to say that if the emperor's spare time, if he can let go of his arms and recuperate, he can prolong his life and live forever!"

Not only the emperor, but also Jingyu and Liufu, who were standing there, were so funny that they laughed at his words, "Get up, you are such a dog!"

"A servant loses his integrity, please forgive me for his crime."

"Actually, your words are not unreasonable. The so-called way of civil and military affairs is to relax and relax." The emperor straightened his chest, took a deep breath, and said to him, "Actually, I don't want to let go of everything and enjoy it with peace of mind. However, although the country is prosperous now, the people are still in trouble for a long time. How can I be willing to do my own selfish desires?..."

"The emperor is the emperor and has no selfish things to say. How can he say it is his own selfish desire?" Su Shun said immediately, "Even the emperor punishes the slave for being disrespectful, the slave must boldly refute it."

The emperor stared at Sushun hard. The latter did not dare to look at Liu Zhen with him, but stood there straight, motionless, allowing the emperor's eyes to sweep back and forth on him. After a long time, he waved his hand, "What do the Ministry of Revenue say about this?"

Su Shun was overjoyed. Knowing that such a sentence meant that the emperor was finally moved. "When the emperor said, I had never discussed this matter with the Ministry of Revenue, but I had agreed with my former colleagues from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that such a garden would not exceed three million taels."

"So little?" The emperor knew that he had misled his tongue, "I mean, why are you so much?"

Su Shun smiled in her heart, without showing any sign of her face. "I have discussed with my colleagues from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that many places can be borrowed from the old landscape and built completely, only three or four out of ten. Therefore, the cost will not be too much."

The emperor was silent for a long time and finally waved his hand, "Let's discuss this matter again, I'll think about it again." He suddenly turned around and said to Sushun, "Also, you are now the governor of Shanxi, and you are involved with the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Zhe!" Su Shun agreed loudly, and asked again, "Your Majesty, I'm asking for the emperor's will, what the Interior Ministry has made today, and the hot samples of the garden, should I continue to do?"

"Steam? What kind of hot sample?"

*********************************************

The hot samples are performed by Lei Tingchang himself, using family-born skills one by one. Speaking of which, such work is similar to the building blocks and tile-pieces commonly used in later generations. After the hot samples are made, they are definitely not dull. On the contrary, every scene and every house can be moved freely. Moreover, if the emperor does not like any scenery or any palace, it can be taken away at any time, without any impact on the whole, and there will be no need to go back and rework.

When Sushun and Ming were planning, Lei Tingchang did not even have the qualifications to be a congressman. He was in power for one day. In order to show off his talents, of course he had to modify the patterns, hoping to cater to the emperor's preferences.

"Brother Lei," Mingshan said to him: "The emperor does not like Da Nei, but only loves to live in the garden. There are many reasons. First, Da Nei's palace is lifeless; second, there are many concubines from the previous dynasty in the palace, which are strict and the emperor is restrained by etiquette and law, and he is not free at all. Now, when building a new house, you must take into account the two reasons why the emperor does not like to live in Da Nei."

"Yeah! Yeah!" Lei Tingchang replied in a pondering manner: "I understand. A new house is the first, and it is the first, and it is the first, and it is the second, and it is the secret;

Third, it needs to be convenient.”

"Yes! Yes! It's good. Brother Lei, just use your brain to modify the pattern according to these three points." Mingshan said again: "It needs to be both secret and convenient. It seems a bit contradictory, and it may not be easy to do it. If you can't do it, you'd rather be secret, and it's convenient and not convenient."

"I'll think of a way, probably I can do it."

"It's not that you can probably do it, it's necessary!" Su Shun said.
