Volume 1 The End of the Dynasty Chapter 36 The Construction of the School Palace
Zihua was anxiously fidgeting, walked to the door for a while and looked at it, and then returned to the desk and sat down, tapping the desk with both hands to relieve the anxiety in his heart.
Finally, Uncle Yang stepped into the door, Zihua hurriedly ran over, grabbed Uncle Yang's sleeve, and stared at Uncle Yang tightly, trying to see some clues from his face.
Uncle Yang looked at her and smiled, rubbed her hair, turned around and walked to the side of the desk and sat down, Zihua hurriedly knelt down to the side and poured him a cup of tea, Uncle Yang took a sip and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, the junior brother is just afraid of being seen by others, so he has to be so cautious." ”
Zihua pouted and said a little angrily: "Could it be that my husband is a person who is not able to see people, and he can't meet him openly." ”
Uncle Yang smiled when he heard this, took Zihua's delicate little hand and put it in his palm, and said: "What do you think, junior brother is dressed as a chivalrous warrior, the ancient people often say 'chivalry is forbidden by force', besides, I am a member of the court, how can I have a relationship with the idlers in the rivers and lakes, the junior brother is afraid that others will bring me trouble if they know, so I have to come to see me like this." ”
Zihua playfully stuck out her tongue: "It's me who blames my junior brother, how does my husband want to punish me?" She half-leaned on Uncle Yang, and a flush appeared on her pretty cheeks, as bright and moving as the peach blossoms in March, which made people can't help but have a sense of play.
Uncle Yang looked at the funny Zihua, laughed evilly, hugged it, and was shocked by Zihua's "ah" strange scream, and then felt rude, buried his whole face in Uncle Yang's arms, and the blush spread to his ears, but as everyone knows, her shy appearance at this time is the most moving, and Uncle Yang was a little stupid for a while.
When the two returned to the rest room, they naturally had a lot of affection. Zihua gently leaned on Uncle Yang's arms, her lazy hair was casually draped, and the faint smile on her face was like a bottle of wine, which made people feel infinitely drunk at a glance. Uncle Yang helped her take care of her hair that was hanging down at random, and let Zihua gently arch in his arms.
"Husband, shouldn't we leave?" Zihua suddenly raised his head and asked.
Uncle Yang's hand to take care of his hair obviously stopped, and then continued to move: "Yes, let's leave when I finish handling the affairs of Taixue Palace, okay?" His voice was gentle.
Zihua sighed and asked again, "Where do you think we should go?" ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, but the world is so big, there is always a place for us to live."
Uncle Yang's voice was very soft, and his tone was also very relaxed, as if this was very simple for him and could be done at will, Zihua lowered her head, she knew that he was doing this on purpose, in order not to worry her, I am afraid that there are no people who can change the law and strong ministers who can start and finish well, and even after a long time, they will be framed and infamy, and no one can know what will happen to the husband.
"What did you say to your junior brother today?"
"I chatted with some parents at random, asked about the teacher's current situation, and by the way, I also inquired about what the junior brother plans to do in the future." Uncle Yang replied without a trace of hesitation.
Zihua nodded, she was very curious about what kind of person their teacher was, who could teach two very different disciples, Uncle Yang was quite kind, while Su Ang was extremely cold.
"The teacher is a very amazing person, although I have been with him for 20 years, I have never really understood him, I only know that he knows a hundred schools of thought, and can be called astronomy and geography, and I don't know much about other things." This is Uncle Yang's evaluation.
On the second day, Uncle Yang got up early, although the emperor allowed him not to go to the early court in the near future, but he wanted to get the Taixue Palace as soon as possible, and then resigned and went into hiding, and Zihua and the two of them found a mountain forest at random, opened up a little field, built a thatched hut, gave birth to a few children, and lived a life of not asking about the world.
Zihua helped him clean up the official mansion, take care of his hair, and put on the Feixia crown. Uncle Yang took a closer look at himself in the bronze mirror, and suddenly found that he seemed to be much older, and even a little gray hair appeared on his temples. Uncle Yang smacked his lips, sighed in his heart, "The years are ruthless", turned around and whispered in Zihua's ear, "Wait for me to come back" and stepped out of the door.
Pu Xianyu had already prepared a carriage and waited at the gate of the mansion, Uncle Yang came out, Pu Xianyu helped him to get into the carriage, and then slowly drove towards the palace.
Uncle Yang looked at the emperor sitting above, he hadn't seen him for two days, he was so old, and his face was haggard.
After all the ministers came to the table one after another, Uncle Yang came out, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to reopen the Taixue Palace." ”
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Yan Yifan had already stood up and said loudly: "Lord Taiwei, the closure of the Taixue Palace is the will of the first emperor, how can it be changed, besides, this Taixue Palace is useless, it is just a place for a group of poor sour scholars to drink and write poetry, and it is not of great use to the imperial court, and the opening of the Taixue Palace is just a waste of the treasury and is not conducive to the operation of the government." ”
"No, what the Lord of Shaofu said is not true, in the past, because of the Taixue Palace, a large number of famous people from all over the world were recruited for the use of the imperial court, so that the court officials were like a hundred flowers blooming and thriving in spring. At this time, it is completely different from the time of the first emperor, the country was rich during the first emperor's period, and there were countless celebrities in the court. Therefore, the ministers of the palace feel that it is better to be sooner rather than later. I hope that the emperor will be a holy judge. ”
Yan Yifan wanted to say something, but he turned to look at Huang Gongfu again, only to see that Huang Gongfu looked indifferent, and seemed to not care about this time, so he didn't say anything more, and returned directly to his own sequence.
Huan Ji saw that no one raised any objections, so he said: "Okay, since no one has any objections, then it will be handed over to the Taiwei at this time, you are fully responsible, and all departments must cooperate with each other, and there must be no mistakes." ”
All the ministers should say yes in unison.
After the court meeting, Yan Yifan stood outside the Zhaohua Palace, and it didn't take long for Huang Gongfu to walk out of the hall door with his fat body. Yan Yifan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Huang Gongfu down the steps.
"My lord, this Taixue Palace has always been in your charge, isn't this against the new law? Why don't you say a word in the court? ”
Huang Gongfu suddenly stood still, stared at Yan Yifan who was standing on the steps below, and said, "You are really stupid, this Taixue Palace was originally under the jurisdiction of Taichangqing, and now I am not Taichangqing, I am the young master of the prince, why don't you even have this memory?" And don't you see, the emperor has already negotiated this matter with Uncle Yang, today is just a show, what's the use of you standing up, it's just to make the emperor feel a little unhappy, and even hate you, rather than so, it's better to agree with this matter. ”
After Huang Gongfu finished speaking, he slowly moved his body downward, leaving Yan Yifan, who was a little dazed, yes, if it wasn't for the fact that the emperor and Uncle Yang had already discussed it, could the emperor directly let the divisions listen to the dispatch? This is something they have been thinking about for a long time.
Yan Yifan quickly caught up with Huang Gongfu, grabbed his arm, and the two slowly walked towards the palace gate.
When Uncle Yang found Taibu and chose the auspicious day, he asked all the ministries to actively prepare and be ready to start building the Taixue Palace at any time, this matter is related to the lifeblood of the Zhao Dynasty, and Uncle Yang naturally did not dare to be careless.
Finally, the day chosen by Taibu came, Xuanzong Huan Ji and the important ministers of the court arrived, and someone proposed to let Uncle Yang take the lead in opening the gate of the original Taixue Palace, but Uncle Yang was angrily reprimanded. Uncle Yang came to Huan Ji's side and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to open the door to welcome the wise men of the world." ”
Huan Ji looked solemn, rolled up his sleeves, raised his hand and slowly pushed open the door of the Taixue Palace, which had been sealed for a long time. Dust everywhere, the appearance of Confucius is full of cobwebs, the dilapidated cases are thrown aside, people look at a little sad, throughout the ages, are Shinong businessmen, the identity of the scholar has always been ranked first, but since Emperor Daizong ordered the ban on the Taixue Palace, the status of the scholars has even fallen to the end, so that the world's scholars have been chilled, and some people even lost their identity as scholars, and turned to be businessmen.
Huan Ji took everyone to pay homage and salute in front of the old master Confucius, and then wiped a handful of dust on the offering table, which also indicated that the Taixue Palace had officially begun to be rebuilt.
Uncle Yang asked Pu Xianyu to select dozens of sturdy soldiers of the forbidden army, and some prisoners were brought out from the prison, and the division of labor began, and the beams, rafters, and supporting pillars of the roof were all replaced.
Uncle Yang knew that the earth-moving workers would inevitably cost their lives and money, so he incorporated the prisoners into the manpower, so as to draw as few people as possible, and all the people who were transferred were exempted from taxes for one year, and they were given one tael of silver as a salary every month. Who knew that after hearing the news, the people came to join the ranks of building the Taixue Palace, but they were politely rejected by Uncle Yang, after all, the fields should not be barren.
Since then, it has been late at night when Uncle Yang returns to the house every day, but Zihua has been sitting in the side room of the courtyard waiting for Uncle Yang, which is the closest to the door of the house, and she can be the first to know every night when Uncle Yang enters the door, and then bring her husband a hot broth, and occasionally bring a little wine from "Yueyang Wine Shop", so that Uncle Yang can praise his wife for her virtue.
The construction of the Taixue Palace went smoothly, except for a little delay caused by the unclear division of labor at the beginning, everything else was going according to plan. Uncle Yang went straight to the place where the construction started in the early morning, and sometimes even did some things by himself.
It is almost autumn harvest time, and the weather is slowly getting cooler.
One day, Uncle Yang just returned to the house, Zihua ran to serve him food as usual, but she didn't come back for a long time, Uncle Yang got up and went out, only to see Zihua lying in the courtyard, Uncle Yang's heart jumped violently, three steps and two steps came to Zihua's side, picked up and ran straight to the house, and called Pu Xianyu while running: "Hurry up and ask the doctor, hurry!" ”
Pu Xianyu hurriedly went out, and not long after, a doctor with a goatee on his back was panting and pulled into the mansion by Pu Xianyu. Pu Xianyu pulled the doctor and shouted, "My lord, I brought the doctor!" ”
The doctor sat on the edge of the bed, lightly pressed Zihua's pulse, and after a while, he stood up and came to Uncle Yang, who looked anxious, and saluted with his fists and said, "Congratulations, my lord, Mrs. is happy." ”
"Is what the doctor said true? So why did she faint? ”
"Don't panic, my lord, my wife is worried about something, so she is depressed, so she faints for a while, and she will be fine with more rest."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
Pu Xianyu went out to see off the doctor, and Uncle Yang sat down next to Zihua's head, he naturally knew what she was worried about, and said silently in his heart: "Don't worry, we should be able to leave the court after the year." ”
