Chapter 233: Build an inner city around the Confucian Mansion
Jingshi, the Emperor of the Apocalypse put down the secret music that had just been presented to the Imperial Palace, got up and kicked over an official in front of him.
The official fell on the table of the Eight Immortals in embarrassment, and the tea and fruits that had not had time to be removed from the table fell to the ground at once.
Under the eyes of Wang Chaofu, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, Xiaodu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to clean up the mess.
After the blink of an eye, Gu Dazhang, who was transferred to the Ministry of Rites this year, was still standing proudly, with a pristine manner, not afraid of the Long Xing of the Son of Heaven in front of him.
Gu Dazhang, the word Boqin, the number of dust, is a native of Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, South Zhili.
In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, in the first year of the Apocalypse, Ye Xianggao served as the first assistant, and the Donglin Party members spoke up one after another, and Gu Dazhang was recommended by his disciples and was appointed as the director of the Shandong Department of the Criminal Department.
Because of his "uprightness" in the local area, he openly reprimanded the Dongchang Tiqi several times, and Gu Dazhang was jealous of the Wei Party, but he became famous and became famous among the Donglin scholars.
In the second year of the Apocalypse, he was recommended by Han Ying, the first assistant, and entered the Ministry of Rites.
"'Kong's collection of taxes is the common wish of all the people in the world'? You are so bold to dare to say such a rebellious act in my Xinuan Pavilion in a grand manner! β
Zhu Youxiao got down the imperial stairs and walked straight to Gu Dazhang, sneering again and again.
He really didn't expect that in this era, the influence of the Kong family among scholars and scholars was so great!
Gu Dazhang and other high-ranking officials of the court actually said that the Confucian Mansion occupies a vast area, and the expenses cannot be maintained, because it has made great contributions to the country, please pay taxes in Qufu County and hand it over to the Kong family for self-collection!
What do you mean?
This is to rob me of my own money in front of me, and this is worth it!
I have never robbed other people's money, no one has ever dared to rob my money, even if it is a county tax, it will not work!
What is this Gu Dazhang's intentions, he wants the Kong clan to rob money at the feet of me, the Ming Emperor!
Is it that in the future, like the West, it will not be possible to go out of a country within a country, why haven't we heard such a thing in history?
It was I, the butterfly wings of the traverser, who flapped the wrong one, and actually happened such an infuriating but ridiculous thing.
"Tell me, why are the people of the Kong clan worthy of the taxes of Qufu County?!"
Gu Dazhang frowned, looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse in front of him, who was younger than his son, in fact, he could understand a little why he was angry.
After all, this emperor has never seriously studied Confucian culture since the day before yesterday, and he is prejudiced against the people of the Kong clan, which is also an extremely normal thing.
"The minister only listened to His Majesty's question, and knew that His Majesty was still making trouble with himself, and he didn't say anything more-" Gu Dazhang shook his head, as if he was very disappointed, and got up and said:
"The minister retired..."
Emperor Tianqi quietly watched Gu Dazhang leave, heard what Wang Chaofu said, thought for a moment, smiled lightly, and said while walking up the imperial steps:
"Gu Dazhang came here, not only his own meaning."
"They want the Confucian Mansion to collect the tax of Qufu County, but I don't allow it, not only that, but I also want to disgust these Kong clansmen."
"It was said that the people in the streets around the Confucian Mansion in Qufu would give money to repair and build houses in other places and move to live. Dongchang started along the street, and a new branch office was built, surrounding the entire Confucian Mansion. β
"Tell Wei Zhongxian and tell him to send the most powerful man!"
Wang Chaofu was in a trance for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and took the order to leave, but Wei Zhongxian, who received the news, was a little confused.
The emperor wants to deal with the Confucian Mansion?
That's a tough bone...
β¦β¦
"See factory ββ!"
Not long after, the eight stall heads of the East Factory in Beijing, as well as Fu Yingxing, the head of the big stall, all rushed to the depths of the dungeon under the General Administration of the East Factory.
"This governor has called you here for a great deal."
Wei Zhongxian's face was so gloomy, he looked at the stall below and discussed for a moment, before he snorted coldly, sat on the old man's chair that had been prepared a long time ago, and said:
"Your Majesty wants us to build a branch office outside the Confucius Mansion in Qufu."
After hearing this, Fu Yingxing laughed and said:
"Uncle, what a big deal is this, my nephew will send someone to Qufu to occupy the shop opposite the Confucian Mansion for branch land."
"This branch office is going to surround the entire Confucian Mansion..."
Wei Zhongxian fluttered lightly and threw a bombshell, at first everyone was not very clear, but after concentrating for a moment, he suddenly realized and exclaimed:
"What do you meanβ"
"You want to surround the entire Confucian Mansion and build a branch office?"
"Factory father, the Confucian Mansion occupies a lot of land!" Speaking of which, the head of the first gear took a copy of the information he had just found from the hands of the fan behind him, and read:
"Qufu Confucius Mansion, Hongwu was built in 10 years, rebuilt in Hongzhi 16 years, covering an area of more than 240 acres, with a total of more than 470 halls, halls, buildings and rooms."
"The Confucian Mansion is a nine-way courtyard, three road layouts, the east road is the East School, the building is the Consistent Hall, the Muen Hall, the Confucian Family Temple and the workshop, etc., the West Road is the West School, there are the Red Calyx Xuan, the Zhongshu Hall, the Anhuai Hall and the Flower Hall, etc."
"It is said that the main part of the Confucian Mansion is in the middle road, the front is the official office, there are three halls and six halls, the back is the inner house, there are the front upper room, the front and rear halls, the annex building, the back six rooms, etc., and finally there is another garden."
Speaking of this, the stall head hesitated for a moment, but continued:
"In the Confucian Mansion, there are six halls modeled after the six departments of the imperial court, and on both sides within the two gates, there are Guangou Hall, Baihu Hall, Classics Hall, Sile Hall, Zhiyin Hall, Zhangshu Hall and other places, which are used to manage the affairs of the Confucian Mansion."
"Set up six halls in imitation of the six departments of the imperial court? This is a great rebellion, the entire Kong clan should be killed to set an example! One stall head shouted.
Wei Zhongxian shook his head lightly: "It's not time yet, for the time being, make this matter a crime and record it in the file for future reference." β
"Such a large scale..."Fu Yingxing closed his open mouth and stepped forward:
"Uncle, how could the emperor suddenly think of dealing with the Confucian Mansion? This is a hard bone, and it is better to build an inner city than to build a branch office around more than 200 acres of land. β
"Inner City..."Wei Zhongxian muttered a few times, and suddenly said:
"What you said is right, let's build an inner city and enclose the Confucian Mansion, and those scholars who come to congratulate every year, their entry and exit will also be decided by the imperial court!"
"Why bother?"
Fu Yingxing used to be a scoundrel in the market, so he naturally didn't understand why the imperial court spent so much effort to control a Confucian mansion.
Wei Zhongxian said:
"You don't have enough experience to understand the reasoning, which is normal."
"The Confucian Mansion is not like Ye Xianggao and Yang Lian, the emperor will kill him if he kills him, at most he will stir up a strong wind, but he can't make any big waves!"
"At present, the southwest is not completely stable, there is a famine in the Central Plains, and Shaanxi has just been shaken. Don't say that the Donglin Party is the Wei Party under the Governor's Sect, and how many of them can not say a few words? β
Fu Yingxing said: "Whoever dares to say it, we will cut whom." β
"You think everything can be solved with a knife? If this is the case, why does the Governor have to fight with Donglin for so many years! β
Wei Zhongxian smiled, took a sip of tea, and said lightly:
"The Confucian Mansion will be cleaned up sooner or later, and now the emperor's intention is just to trap them and disgust them, and that's enough."
"The "Three Kingdoms" that the Jiannu often watch, you also take the time to call people to read it and listen to it, Cao Cao's release is now to coerce the Confucian Mansion to order the scholars!"
"As for why the master suddenly wants to get the Confucian Mansion, this has nothing to do with the Confucian Mansion, there is a person named Gu Dazhang who is playing tricks and asking the master to pay the taxes of Qufu County to the Confucian Mansion."
"And such talents?"
Fu Yingxing laughed, and then laughed heartily with a stall leader, and said:
"The imperial court has been taxing the prince for a county for several years, and Gu Dazhang asked the emperor to pay taxes to the whole county of Qufu, but he said that it will last forever, which is really a big joke in the world."
Wei Zhongxian was unmoved, and glanced at him:
"That's the truth, but the people of the world don't think so, and now we are the only ones who can solve the emperor's problems. The three major halls are supervised by me, this matter... You'll have to do it yourself. β
"If you don't receive the order of the flying letter, you will be nailed to the Confucian Mansion for this governor!"
Fu Yingxing laughed and said, "It's very good, my nephew has long wanted to meet these saints!" β
