Chapter 234: The Ministers Die
There are some things, Zheng Yongji, Li Guangtai and others turn one eye open and close one eye even if it is in the past.
But there are some things that they can't escape.
After entering the end of the year, Zhang Lingyang made an order to build a palace for Gulireba, or a palace in the Western Regions, which can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
But as long as the kings of all dynasties and dynasties start to build large-scale construction, it will not be far from the day of the death of the country.
The wine pond meat forest of the Shang Dynasty, the Afang Palace of Qin Shi Huang, the Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui, and so on.
Although it cannot be said that the construction of the dynasty was the main reason for the fall of the dynasty, in the eyes of many descendants, the fall of the dynasty was not unrelated to these, and even closely related.
Because of this, these emperors and their buildings have become the target of attack by future generations.
Tyrant, Dumb King...... And so on.
And what about the courtiers around these faint kings and tyrants?
I'm afraid that the reputation won't be much better!
Therefore, even for the sake of their own reputation, Zheng Yongji, Li Guangtai and others are resolutely opposed to Zhang Lingyang's large-scale construction.
After all, once Zhang Lingyang began to build a large number of buildings, it will be recorded in the history books of later generations: In December of the third year of Zhou Tai'an, Zhao Chenxi, the son of heaven, doted on the demon concubine Guli Reba and ordered to build a palace for him......
After that, he will continue to write about how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources this palace consumed, how many gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings there were, and how gorgeous the palace was.
Naturally, those courtiers of Emperor Tai'an, such as Zheng Yongji, Chen Yiming, Zhu Kaishan, Gao Pei, Cao Rui, Li Guangtai and other important ministers of the imperial court will also be written into the history books one by one.
Of course, these courtiers will appear as traitors in the history books.
For example, the construction of this luxurious palace was planned by Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital, Chen Yiming, the secretary of the ministry, was responsible for the deployment, and Zhu Kaishan, the secretary of the household department, was responsible for supervising the construction......
Then, in this way, those of them who are courtiers will become the object of rejection by future generations.
If there were any later generations of literati and writers who wrote an article like "A Fang Gong Fu", then their names would be even more stinky.
Therefore, even for the sake of their own reputation, Zheng Yongji and others will do their best to prevent Zhang Lingyang from building this large-scale palace.
And this is what Zhang Lingyang wants to see.
Guli Gerba is extremely beautiful, and after some training, he is indeed extremely obedient to Zhang Lingyang.
But Zhang Lingyang has seen more beauties, and he will not mistake the whole country because of a beauty.
The reason why Zhang Lingyang did this was to attract the attention of the ministers and point their fingers directly at the delicate little beauty of Guli Reba.
Of course, the same is true in the harem.
The harem concubines gave birth to princes one after another, and the battle for the heirs in the future is bound to be turbulent.
If at this time, Zhang Lingyang has a beauty like Daji, Xi Shi, and Yang Guifei around him, will the concubines still fight each other?
Will the ministers, especially those relatives, still keep an eye on the crown prince's position?
I'm afraid that their first thought is to concentrate their firepower on the demon concubine Gul Reba.
In this way, Zhang Lingyang's princes can grow up smoothly without worrying about being poisoned.
This is Zhang Lingyang's purpose.
Zhang Lingyang also understood that he was using Guli Reba.
But Zhang Lingyang didn't feel guilty about this at all.
Because Gulreba itself was sacrificed by the Kazakh tribe on its own initiative for the stability of its own tribe.
Besides, Zhang Lingyang himself does not have any true feelings for Guli Reba.
Gulreba also understands this.
But she didn't dare to resist, nor did she dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction.
Because as long as the man in front of him is angry, let alone a delicate and weak woman, I am afraid that my own clan will also be wiped out and become a speck of dust in history.
Therefore, even though he knew that Zhang Lingyang had no true feelings for him, Guli Gerba still tried his best to please and obey Zhang Lingyang, and he did not dare to resist or resist Zhang Lingyang's orders.
But no one else thinks so.
Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, at the last court meeting of the third year of Tai'an, the ministers led by Zheng Yongji knelt down in front of the Taihe Hall one after another, asking Zhang Lingyang to withdraw the proposal for large-scale construction.
Without thinking about it, Zhang Lingyang did not hesitate to reject the advice of Zheng Yongji and others.
"If Your Majesty does not agree to the pleas of the ministers, the ministers will kneel and die in front of the Taihe Palace!" Li Guangtai's expression was extremely excited, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Lingyang to be so careless.
"If you love to kneel, kneel!" Zhang Lingyang left the Taihe Palace without looking back, and went to Zhongcui Palace to have a happy life.
Seeing this, Zheng Yongji and the others glanced at each other and fell to their knees......
The weather was very gloomy on this day, and the wind was constantly roaring.
At noon, snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell from the sky.
Seeing this, Sun Sheng came over and persuaded Zheng Yongji and the others: "Elder Zheng Ge, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, you are making such a big fuss?" Really! ”
As a royal domestic slave, in Sun Sheng's eyes, Zhang Lingyang, as the Son of Heaven, naturally cannot be at fault.
So, who is at fault?
Naturally, it is these 'stubborn' ministers.
Although Sun Sheng was annoyed that these ministers had disturbed Zhang Lingyang's good mood, he really didn't dare to do anything to these ministers.
Which of the ministers kneeling on the ground is not gray with a beard?
The youngest, I'm afraid I'm over 50 years old, right?
In case something happens to them today, I am afraid that the first thing Zhang Lingyang will find is the mistake of Sun Sheng, the eunuch who holds the seal of the master of ceremonies.
Therefore, although Sun Sheng's tone was full of reproach, he was extremely worried that something would happen to these ministers.
After all, it's cold.
Sun Sheng tried hard to persuade him, but no one was willing to get up.
In desperation, Sun Sheng had to order someone to boil a pot of ginger soup, and ordered the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to come over and obey the orders at any time, in case anyone fainted, it would be treated in time.
I don't know when, the news that the ministers collectively knelt in front of the Taihe Hall to admonish the Son of Heaven has spread throughout the capital.
It's okay for the people to say, just to be a lively look.
But the other ministers who did not participate in the court meeting couldn't sit still at home.
Not to mention whether he can persuade Zhang Lingyang to change his mind this time.
For these ministers, this is a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves.
I don't know who took the lead, and the ministers began to enter the palace and knelt down in front of the Taihe Palace.
More and more people gathered, and soon, a large number of ministers in front of the Taihe Hall knelt on the ground.
The snow was so heavy that in less than an hour, the ministers were covered in snow like snowmen......
