Chapter 8 (I)
"This is the old site of the Lingtai back then."
The faΓ§ade of Qin Tianjian is not wide, but the inside is quite large, soon after entering the door, Huo Ran is cheerful, and sees a high platform in the flat ground, with a wooden table on it, and there are a number of furnishings around.
"Oh, there, that's the handwritten letter of Emperor Gaoyang back then, and our Qin Tianjian is also called Lingtai outside, just for this."
On this point, Yun Chongbo had heard Ying Peng say yesterday: Like many other things, Qin Tianjian was established by the will of Emperor Xuanyuan, and at that time, among the three names of Qing, Shen, and Ling, he finally made a decision and decided to name this place for observing celestial phenomena "Lingtai". And, like many other things, the final completion of Qin Tianjian was in the hands of Emperor Gaoyang, and at that time, he personally wrote "Jing Shi Lingtai, Jing Zhi Yingzhi." The king is in the confinement of the spirit, and the deer is in wait. The "Lingtai" chapter, engraved here.
"At that time, it was just the beginning, you look at this platform, it is only two zhang high, four hundred and twenty steps in circumference, and the current nine-zhang platform, it can't be compared!"
He explained that many years ago, most of the observations were moved to the new observation platform, which is now used more as a watch.
"Oh, it's the pillar that stands tall up on it. This was the tree that Lord Guo personally went up to back then! β
The tall wooden pillar standing on the "ancient spirit platform", the official name should be called "Observatory" or "Forty Feet Gui", in that year, Guo Songjing was determined to innovate, abolished the ancient method of "Eight Feet Gui", set up "Forty Feet Gui" to replace it, built 36 pieces of boulder brightness, and made scenery charms to assist calculations, measured the sun shadow, can be as small as two millimeters.
In fact, the four things placed on the ancient spirit platform are all antiquities with thousands or even thousands of years of history, but at the same time, they are also commemorations of Guo Songjing's victory: the "eight-foot gui" that was replaced by "forty feet gui", the "armillary zodiac" that was replaced by "simple yi and yingyi", the "water leakage armillary image" that was replaced by the "water transport instrument elephant platform", and the "drowned arrow leakage" that was replaced by "Ming Palace lamp leakage", they all had supreme glory and carried the painstaking wisdom of countless people, but in the hands of Guo Songjing, Better instruments were created, better algorithms were deduced, and these old lords were completely eliminated and sent to the top of this ancient altar to serve as a display of the history of the past.
Bypassing the "Guling Terrace", the rear is a more majestic giant platform, nine zhang high, a thousand steps around, divided into three layers, this is the viewing platform that is being used today, and it is also the office place of more than 100 personnel in Qintianjian. Chongyucun enthusiastically led the two into his room on the second floor, and in the blink of an eye, he had placed a cup of hot tea in front of each of them, and he also held a cup himselfβbut it was an extraordinarily large cup, almost like a small teapot, and sat down opposite him with a sad face.
"I said Brother Ying...... It's hard for me to do this like this, brother. β
From the huge work pressure that Qin Tianjian is currently facing, to the disobedience and unwillingness of his son to take the right path of the imperial examination, which makes him very headache...... We Qin Tianjian really can't be the master! β
"Nonsense, what's not to do!"
Slapping the table, Yun Chongbo said sharply: "Don't think we are easy to handle, I tell you, we, we ...... Our master is Zhang Zhenren! β
This is also the method discussed yesterday: when he heard Ying Peng say that Gong Yang actually said such a tough and decisive response, Yun Chongbo felt that soft grinding was not as good as hard foam, or he could find a little bit of a turnaround.
At that time, Ying Peng's reaction to Yun Chongbo's proposal was a wry smile, and he said, "It's okay, you can try again......", which made Yun Chongbo quite strange. It was only now that he really understood what Ying Peng was smiling wryly.
"That's right, dude!"
With a look of "you are really my confidant", Chongyu Village praised again and again, Daoyun Chongbo really deserved to be Zhang Zhenren's disciple, and his eyes were like torches.
Still holding the big cup and not letting go, Chongyu Village opened his mouth with a bitter face, still having the tendency to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, and in a blink of an eye, he talked about who should be the master of the calendar system to who the higher-level management department of Qin Tianjian was, and talked about the current system of selecting and appointing professionals in the imperial court There are many problems, and every three sentences in the middle have to sigh, which simply makes Yun Chongbo have the illusion that the other party is here to pour bitter water and talk about problems, and he is the official who sits and listens.
"Brother, what you just said really spoke to my brother's heart. That's why you just slapped the table and smashed the bench...... Dude isn't angry, not angry at all, really. β
sighed and said, in fact, don't you know a lot of things that Ying Peng pointed out? I can read it! Not only Chongyu Village, but also up and down in Qintian Prison, there are more people who can see the problem.
"But it's useless...... This thing, he is not in our hands, and we also think that this is very wrong, but now this bird world is like this, he can't do things! β
Who should be in charge of the calendar? Chongyu Village said that his opinion is completely the same as Yun Chongbo, and this should be managed by Qin Tianjian!
"So there's no way now, the people who can make decisions are the ones who don't understand the calendar, and the people who know the calendar the most can only wait for others to arrange what to do, so it's ......"
With another long sigh, Chongyucun said that in fact, this kind of thing, that is, it is rare to meet two good friends today, so he dares to talk about it from the bottom of his heart, and on another occasion, he does not dare to say it.
"Two brothers, you have to keep it secret for your brother, don't you dare to sell your brother Chong as soon as you go out!"
In the end, Chongyu Village's more enthusiastic hands dipped in tea and drew a map for the two of them on the table.
"Well, you see, go out from here, go out and turn right, not far away, walk through an intersection is Jing Zhaoyin's yamen, you can directly hand over your opinions to them, of course, they can only hand them over. So, you can ...... too."
Another route was drawn, and Chongyu Village introduced that this was the house of a certain bachelor who could enter the cabinet, and he was the first authority in the court on the matter of agriculture and mulberry.
"Well, when you go, be careful, this door bag must be prepared...... Brother, this is not teaching you to learn badly, in fact, in this world, if you don't do this, you won't be able to do anything! β
ββ¦β¦ Wait, we didn't have any academics to look for! β
Standing up after being coaxed, Yun Chong reacted suddenly, hurriedly pulled his face down again, and said angrily: "You are all there, we didn't ask you to change the calendar...... We just want to re-examine the shadow of the sun, but the matter of establishing a pole, do you also want to ask the officials for advice?! β
This is the number of ways that Yun Chongbo discussed with Ying Peng yesterday: Gai Yingpeng reflected afterwards, and also felt that his opening was too big, and it was easier to change the calendar, and it was to quote the new law, which is indeed not something that Qin Tianjian himself can do, but the matter of "testing it with reality" can always be used as a breakthrough?
"It's just a sixty-foot-high pole, do you have to report it to Yousi?"
Deliberately adjusting his voice to the most snarky appearance he could make, Yun Chongbo stared at Chongyu Village viciously, and secretly made up his mind: "As long as he dares to say that he wants to go up to decide, I will make trouble for him!" β
"This ...... Brother......"
Stunned, Chongyu Village, who was standing up to see him off, sat down slowly, as if he wanted to open his mouth to explain something, but he let out a long sigh.
"I said, can you not sigh...... Who the hell are we here to do things! β
"Dude...... Listen to me......"
Pouring down a large mouthful of strong tea, as if he had made up his mind, Chongyu Village put the cup back on the table and looked at Yun Chongbo with a serious expression.
"I don't hide it from the two elder brothers, if I say that I have the money for doing this, I have it in Qintianjian, and if I say that the person who does this, I also have it in Qintianjian, but I can't do this."
ββ¦β¦ So you just don't want to do it, right? β
was softly pushed all morning, Yun Chongbo could be regarded as finding a reason for the attack, and suddenly jumped up again, saying that he still didn't believe that he couldn't find a place to reason.
"Brother, ......"
It was still the obvious and very cordial title, Chongyu Village pressed his hand weakly, and said, Sit, sit, sit down first.
"Although my brother is obsessed with how old you are, when I see you today, I feel very close to you, and I have to mention you a few words about something."
After saying this, he suddenly changed the topic again, and Chongyucun said that he didn't sleep well last night.
"The case of Lord Meng Shu next door was released, and it was taken away yesterday morning, and he had seven or eight maidservants in three rooms, and two scholars...... I've been crying all night! β
"Well, Meng Shu? Flower country jinshi? β
Some time ago, because of Hua Shengrong's "business", Yun Chongbo also knew this name, and he was a little surprised when he heard it.
"Isn't his family rich? And being an official is also an idle job, how can something happen? β
"yes...... Who dared him to bear it! β
Speaking of which, it's not a big deal, when Meng Shu was in the field before, there was a pile of waste in the yamen that had been put down for many years, and I don't know how long it was, and there were several chief officials before and after, all of which should not be seen, but Meng Shu was a good clean, so he ordered people to sort it out and sell it, and he didn't put it in his eyes when he got three melons and two dates, and threw it to the following as a minister's money, and also set up an account, which was considered appropriate.
"But in the world, I'm afraid I'm only afraid of people with hearts......"
Not long ago, Meng Shu offended the thousands of households in the Criminal Department because of trivial matters, and after a long time, he was relieved, but unexpectedly, the other party finally dug up this old matter after hard work.
"Things, they belong to the imperial court and the yamen, even if they are broken there, if the wind blows, it is also a matter of the imperial court, how can it be disposed of by private individuals?"
Under an order, from the bookstore that was responsible for the sale of the year, to the businessman who was in charge of the purchase that year, to the master who was in charge of the money, and the officials who had eaten and used them, all of them were brought in, interrogated carefully, and before noon, they sorted out many things, and then turned around and took Meng Shu.
"Master Meng, I'm more familiar with this person, it's really, arrogant, and likes to slap people in the face, but it's really not a person who can be greedy for money...... can be said to be a thousand ways and ten thousand, and the top of that pile of things really did not give him the power to dispose of it, and if he sold it like this, it was an out-and-out theft of official property. β
Suddenly turning the conversation back, Chongyucun sighed: "Two old brothers, wow, where do you know the rules in the yamen?" Your brother, this five-grade official, sounds good, but how many things can be handled by yourself, do you know? β
Seeing the dazed appearance of the two, Chongyu Village raised a finger and said, "One hundred runs!" I can consult with Lord Yang to decide that if the amount is exceeded, it will be reported to the department for approval. β
As for the space where Chongyu Village can be the master of itself, it is naturally less, but only thirty or fifty times, and it can only be used for the purchase of utensils, and cannot go through the accounts of places such as restaurants and restaurants.
"If you want to say that my Qin Tianjian has spent a year, the imperial court is extremely generous."
In addition to the capitation cost, there are always hundreds of thousands of expenses for maintenance, renovation, new purchase, and calculation every year, but the problem is that these expenses are all put on a hat, and each has its own place. If Gong Chang Yang, the chief official, nodded, he could communicate with the division and change it, but in the authority space of Chongyu Village, it was absolutely impossible.
"Of course, speaking with a conscience, to squeeze, to move, is there a way? Some. β
The kind smile gradually put away, and Chongyu Village said: "But, why? β
"Misappropriation and change, when there is nothing to do, there is naturally nothing to do, and when there is a scene, it is a catastrophe...... To put it mildly, if the money will come out, I can pocket it myself, or I still have the heart to do a few times, but now, just for you, what is the basis? β
"Dude...... To tell you the truth, you come every day, my brother accompanies you, it's also very hard, you see that I am also bored, I see that you also have a headache, isn't it? β
"If my brother and I have a way to fulfill your thoughts and send you out, then everyone will naturally be happy, but now, you are asking my brother to fight but don't want a black veil on his head to help you do things...... Brother, wow, you pat yourself on the chest and ask yourself, meat eats thousands of people, and the sin falls on your own hands...... Is there such a truth in the world? β
ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½
Before they could figure out what was going on, the dizzy two were sent to the gate of Qin Tianjian. When seeing off the two people, Chongyu Village has already recovered into the spring breeze, looking at the direction of the two people, do not forget to remind that it is now noon, if the two can eat spicy, then after walking through two intersections, there is a hot pot on the right, the bottom of the pot is very good, but it is a pity that they have to watch the sky at noon, so they can not accompany each other.
"So you see...... It's not that I don't want to find a chance to make trouble, it's that I can't do it at all! β
"Well, you don't have to repeat it...... I already know how to feel it! β
Walking on the road dejectedly, these two people are among the best of today's young generation, if they join forces, they will kill one or twenty times in this Qin Heavenly Prison, and they will not lose a single hair on their bodies, but now, they are the same, and they only feel a deep powerlessness.
"No wonder the master kept saying...... Troubles that can be solved by force are not troubles at all! β
said a thousand things and ten thousand, this matter still can't get around Gongchang Yang after all, but with his fierce attitude, both of them feel that it is better not to hold this kind of hope.
"Alas, if this guy is the chief officer today, maybe there is still some hope......"
As he was talking, Yun Chong suddenly pulled Ying Pengβbut saw that Ying Peng had also reached out to stop him.
"The Undead...... It's been a long time! β
There were ten people who turned out from the corner of the street, and the first one looked like thirty-six or seven, dressed in green clothes, with a proud expression, and a long sword in his hand.
"Oh, by the way, you're that one, strange, I distinctly remember seeing your name in that book in Xiaohuaxuan...... Oh yes, you're Xue Ziwei! β
ββ¦β¦ Bastard thing, my name is Xue Zhongwei! β
The person who came was Xue Zhongwei, who had participated in the battle of the Dao, he was the first overlord of the Xue family in the Tianshan Mountains in the past three generations, and he was arrogant, and he was defeated in the night battle of Wutou Mountain, but he was always resentful, and he always felt that if it wasn't for the defeat of the army that day, he lost his command. Give yourself a chance to fight, and you may not be able to turn the tide.
"So, it's better to rush early, than to be in a hurry, the immortal, dare to fight me again?!"
