187 The first to be kicked out of the group
As the system's prompt sounded, Hu Guang knew why Hu Zhengyan fell.
When he decided to summon Hu Zhengyan, he had already considered it and felt that Hu Zhengyan's work did not need to stay in the working group, so this time, Hu Guang chose no.
"Ding, the system prompts the host that the memory in the relevant chat group has been erased and kicked out of the chat group!"
Hu Guang entered the chat group and searched carefully, but sure enough, he didn't find it. Then, his consciousness returned to reality, carefully observed Hu Zhengyan who fell, and found that he seemed to be a little confused, and then immediately became panicked, and knelt down again to beg for forgiveness for the rudeness of the emperor.
"It's okay, let's get even." Of course, Hu Guang didn't care, "Look at this food stamp." ”
When Hu Zhengyan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately cautiously stepped forward to look at those food stamps.
Wen Tiren on the side probably guessed the reason for Hu Zhengyan's fall, but he didn't know that Hu Zhengyan had been kicked out of the chat group.
Hu Guang saw that Hu Zhengyan was looking at the food stamps, so he said to him: "Your printing skills are second to none in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent others from forging food stamps again, I want you to print some simple and difficult to forge food stamps, can you do it?" ”
Hu Zhengyan is good at making ink, can make his own unique ink, and pioneered the "arch flower" printing, and its "plate" printing is also a must. "Engraving" is the ancestor of later color separation overprinting, and its production process is more complicated than that of monochrome engraving. After printing, the ink color is exquisite, the engraving is delicate, and it is very difficult to imitate.
When Hu Guang saw Hu Zhengyan's "Ten Bamboo Zhai Paintings", he was surprised and made this decision, and asked him to rush to Beijing to print the things he needed.
Hu Zhengyan naturally knew what he liked and was good at, and as soon as the emperor gave him, he had a few plans in his heart, and immediately bowed down to receive the order.
He understands that the emperor should look at his own ability, if the emperor can be satisfied, the food stamps he printed will be circulated, which will be far wider than the "Ten Bamboo Zhai Paintings", and the fame will be greater, and the future will be unlimited.
Thinking so, he immediately chose a simple but amazing plan, ready to surprise the emperor and the world.
At this time, none of them expected that this temporary replacement of food stamps would become a sought-after commodity in the hands of collectors in later generations, and its value continued to increase with the years, making many descendants of Jingshi make a windfall, and some people were complained by their children and grandchildren that they had no foresight. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
When Hu Zhengyan retreated, Hu Guang said to Wen Tiren: "The matter of the Ming Martyrs' Hall can be built." ”
"Your Majesty, please also order the household department to extract the money and grain for construction." Wen Tiren listened and bowed in response.
After the factory guard confiscated the Yongchang ticket number, he got 510,000 taels of silver. Hu Guang ordered the money to be deposited in the household department and not to be used by anyone except by holy decree.
In this way, many people know that the household department finally has money, and of course, it also includes the first assistant Wen Tiren.
However, after Hu Guang heard his words, he shook his head and said, "I have other arrangements for the silver of the household department. As for the cost of the Daming Loyal Martyr's Hall, I have already asked the palace to make a collection, and Wen Qing does not have to worry. ”
When Wen Tiren heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he had heard some rumors before, saying that the harem girls took the lead in saving money and donating gold and silver jewelry, and many gold and silver utensils in the palace were also collected and melted into silver coins for later use.
To tell the truth, he didn't believe it when he first heard it. And because this time is different from the past, foreign ministers are not allowed to collude with internal officials, and they cannot inquire about the affairs of the palace, so he just listens to it and does not take it to heart.
But after hearing this from the emperor's mouth at this time, he immediately recalled the news and immediately understood that it was true.
The cost of building such a large building as the Daming Martyrs' Hall is not a small amount. Wen Tiren suddenly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Daming Martyrs' Hall is a state affair, how can you let the palace raise funds and wronged you and Your Majesty." The minister thinks that this money can't be used! ”
"Why not?" When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately asked a rhetorical question, and then said righteously: "What is enshrined in the Daming Loyal Martyrs Hall is the loyal martyrs who died for my Daming." I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the lord of the world, and the palaces are the models of women in the world. After I mentioned this matter to the palaces, all the palaces agreed to it, and it was all voluntary. I don't want to disobey their will. ”
Speaking of this, Hu Guang raised his voice and announced in an unquestionable tone: "Wen Qing doesn't need to say much, this matter is decided!" ”
Wen Tiren heard it, and couldn't help but be moved, with the respect of the emperor, the nobility of the mother, but can pay so much for the Ming Dynasty, how many emperors have had such a good idea?
He bowed down and immediately replied loudly: "Even the ancient sages are nothing more than that, the hearts of Your Majesty and the ladies, and the ministers keep it in mind!" ”
When Hu Guang heard such praise, he was happy in his heart, and he didn't bother in vain. However, on the surface, he was like a breeze, and waved his hand casually: "I will let people hand over the money immediately, according to the usual, the factory guard will also participate, go!" ”
"Yes!" Since the emperor's holy will has been decided, Wen Tiren will naturally not persuade him again. He decided in his heart that he must handle this matter with great fanfare, so that the people of the world know the emperor, as well as the intentions of the ladies of the palaces.
He immediately returned to the cabinet, summoned the cabinet ministers, and notified the civil and military officials above the third rank in Beijing, such as the six Shangshu, to solemnly hand over the money. If it weren't for the emperor's request as soon as possible, he would even want to gather more officials.
When this matter reached Hu Guang's ears, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This Wen Qing, it's such a big deal about a trivial matter, it's really!"
This time the efficiency was very high, Wen Tiren personally urged his subordinates to arrange the things in front, and so early the next morning, he led the civil and military officials to invite the emperor and the palace ladies to personally lay the foundation for the Daming Martyrs' Hall.
In just one night, the matter of the funding of the Daming Martyrs' Hall overshadowed the news of the crackdown on the Beijing division and became the first topic of the entire Beijing people.
In the bitter cold of the next morning, most of the people in Beijing got up early and rushed out of their homes one after another, just to see the grand occasion of the emperor and his ladies laying the foundation for the Ming Martyrs' Hall. This happy event has somewhat diluted the grief and pain of the people of Beijing for the loss of their loved ones in these days, and also faded their worries about their future lives.
The unexpected excitement made the imperial court have to send men and horses from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to maintain order in the square in front of Tiananmen Square.
In the open space isolated by the soldiers, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty led hundreds of civil and military officials to stand facing the palace in front of the site of the Loyal Martyrs' Hall. One by one, they looked solemn, waiting for the emperor to arrive.
