Chapter 54 Advice

Setsuo sits in the Privy Council

Bright Jade offers advice and strategy

Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was built on the basis of Hangzhou. There are two cities: inner and outer cities. The name of the outer city is called "Luocheng", it is to follow the scale of the Wuyue city wall of the five dynasties, and the southeast part has been expanded, it starts from Fengshan Gate in the east, crosses Wu Mountain in the south, starts from Tiaobroom Bay, leans on the Qiantang on the left, is adjacent to the West Lake on the right, reaches the foot of the Phoenix Mountain in the west, reaches Wansongling in the north, and has a radius of nearly five kilometers. There are thirteen city gates in the whole Luocheng, among which the gates of Benmen, Dongqing, Genshan and other gates are all built with urn cities. The city wall is as high as three zhang, the thickness is about more than zhang, and the moat is more than ten zhang wide around the outside of the city.

The name of the inner city is called Da Nei or Zi City, there are three city gates, the south is called Lizheng, the north is Hening, and the east is called Donghua. It is located at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, starting from Fengshan Gate in the north, bordering Jianggan in the south, reaching Houchao Gate in the east, and reaching Wansongling in the west.

In the sub-city, the palace stands majestically, there are more than 130 halls, halls, floors and pavilions such as Jinluan Palace, Vertical Arch Palace, Wende Palace, Funing Palace, Daqing Palace, Zichen Palace, etc. In addition, there is the magnificent Imperial Garden, which reaches the top of Phoenix Mountain. All the buildings are gold nail Zhu households, painted buildings are carved, covered with copper tiles, engraved with dragon and phoenix flying shape, majestic and magnificent, dazzling.

At the beginning of the capital, the political situation was undecided, and the method of changing the state to the palace was adopted. The construction is simple. During the eight to twenty-eight years of Shaoxing, the palace building began to take shape, and there were eight halls such as Cining and vertical arches and the loss of Zhai, which was only a quarter of the Bianjing Imperial Palace in the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, in order to cope with various ceremonies, we had to take expedient measures, one hall for multiple purposes, and unveil the name at will. For example, Chongzheng Hall is also known as Wende Palace, which is used for the name of the sect "Ming Hall", and is used for the name of Shangshou "Zichen" and so on.

After the first year of Xiaozong's Qiandao (1165), with the cessation of the Song-Jin War, the partial security regime was stabilized, and the palace buildings became more and more complete, and thirty palaces such as Diede and Chengbi were built one after another. There are also 33 halls, 13 pavilions, 4 Zhai, 7 floors, 6 Taiwans, and 19 pavilions, which are brilliant and brilliant, and are lined up one after another.

In addition, in order to live exclusively for the emperor after his abdication, on the basis of the old residence of Qin Hui in the east of Wangxian Bridge, the Deokshou Palace was expanded and built, which is even more dazzling and luxurious. The scale of the capital is comparable to that of the Bianjing Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty.

There is a street that runs through the north and south in Luocheng, called "Royal Street", also called Hangcheng Heavenly Street, from the diagonal bridge in the north, to Fengshan Gate in the south, more than 13,500 feet long. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are more than 90 squares inside and outside the city; The store also breaks through the boundary between the square and the city, and is opened on the street, from the street to the alley. The night market is as bustling as daytime.

The court meeting area, the dormitory area and the government office area in the sub-city are independent.

The Prime Minister's Office of the East Mansion and the Privy Council of the West Mansion are located in the middle of the government office area, both facing north and south. This west mansion has five rooms of the main hall of Yingwu Palace, three rooms of depth, and the top of the yellow glazed tile mountain. The Sumeru seat is surrounded by a white marble stone fence, and the front is out of the platform, and there is a road leading directly to the south gate of the palace. The shape of the apse is slightly similar, and the front and rear halls are connected by corridors. The east and west side halls are respectively six Tao halls, seven slightly four halls, and there are 56 corridor rooms on the left and right.

After the morning dispersal, Han Yanxuan sat in the east wing of the Mengwu Palace. was reading the newspaper of the imperial court, and there was a message on it that caught his attention: Han Tongqing knew about Taizhou affairs, and awarded Yangzhou Observation Envoy and Taichang Temple.

After the promotion, in his contact with Han Tongqing and the queen, he also reminded the emperor that the old man should also be promoted, Han Tongqing said: The court and the emperor are high in the sky for my Han family, and Tongqing's talent is limited.

The queen also stated that her responsibility is to serve the emperor carefully and manage the harem, as for whether she can take care of her mother's father and brother, it is better to let it be, anyway, she will not make relevant requests to the emperor.

For this reason, he was full of emotion in front of his relatives and friends: Look, this is our Han surname, who is always loyal to the royal family and keeps his duty.

It is good news that Tongqing returned to Beijing to take up his post this time. It seems that it won't take a few years to make a knot, and what about himself.

At this time, there was a report from the concierge, and Liu Luan, the doorman of the same pavilion, visited. After coming in, Liu Lan looked around and praised: Han Ye, you can change the gun, this mansion is a high yamen, open and magnificent, much stronger than the pavilion.

Indeed, this is not the same as that of the Cabinet Division. The Pavilion Gate Division is sent all day long, it looks beautiful, but in fact it is a messenger who serves people, to put it bluntly, like an errand runner, and here, it dominates the future and fate of thousands of military attachés at all levels across the country. Although I have only been here for a few days, I already feel the importance of power. In time, it is also a good choice to be a privy councilor.

However, Liu Lan's words made him wake up from a dream. Liu Lan told him that Zhu Xi, the old fellow, was experienced and full of scheming, and when he lent Emperor Ningzong to give a lecture, he insinuated, saying that he, Guan Li and others, were fortunate villains, relying on monopoly and tyranny, arrogating and violating the system, forming gangs, and corrupting the dynasty, and advised the emperor to stay away from these traitorous parties and ministers.

Liu Lan also said that now Prime Minister Zhao wants to monopolize the work of inner Zen, and regards you as a villain's servant, thinking that he can come and go as soon as he is recruited, without any respect. Prepare to wait for the gap to move, Jian Feng filed, it seems that not only do you have to save money, I am afraid that you will have to travel far away Linghai.

It's really a word to wake up the person in the dream, originally he still felt that the old thief was gone, this Yang Wenduan was kind, Jing Yutang was a friend, endure it and boil it slowly, it seems that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, it is not so simple as he thinks.

Han Yanxuan looked dazed and asked Liu Lan: Brother Guangyu, what can I do? Think of a rut.

Liu Xuan said mysteriously: There is only Taiwan advice, and they can use their strength to convert Zhao Zhuren and others.

Han Yanxuan is still puzzled: Most of this advice is good friends with Zhao Cheng, what can I do?

Liu Ling smiled, Master Han, you are shrewd, you were confused for a while, how did you deal with the prime minister the day before yesterday?

That's the emperor's own writing.

Then why not use the imperial pen again, replace it with the Taiwanese advice you like, and use their hands to remove them from the capital. With such a little dial, Han Yanxuan understood.

Tai Zhi is the abbreviation of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Zhizhi Yuan. It was established at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty. Yushitai, also known as Xiantai, is in charge of picketing civil and military officials, impeaching corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and correcting the discipline and laws of the imperial court. If there are major events, you can debate and protest in front of the emperor, and when you impeach, you can hear about things, and you don't have to have enough factual basis, and you can also participate in the trial of major cases; The Governor's Yuan, also known as the Counsellor's Office, picks up the missing and fills the gaps, makes suggestions to the emperor, and supervises hundreds of officials. It is these two departments, and all officials, including the prime minister, are afraid of three points, because it does not care about issuing official hats, but can take off official hats.

The bureaucratic system of this dynasty is divided into three major parts, one is the administrative system, including the province of Zhongshu in the East Prefecture, the Privy Council of the West Prefecture, the three divisions, the six departments of Shangshu Province and the five supervisors of the Nine Temples, etc., which is very large, in charge of the military, civil, financial and other administrative affairs of the country, and the operation of the government is mainly here; First, the secretary province, the Hanlin Academy, etc., are the emperor's think tank, attendant institutions, although the number is not large, but all the holy decrees, the decrees of the imperial court are drawn up by them, they also have a privilege, no matter who issued the order, as long as they think it is wrong, they can be refuted, sent back for re-reform; Then there is the Taiwan admonition, anyone can criticize, and the emperor is no exception. Its main spearhead is the prime minister, and the officials of Taiwan are appointed by the emperor, and do not accept the leadership of the Eastern Mansion, and the chief is only responsible to the emperor.

The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court are referred to as the Yanguan. When it comes to taking advantage of public opinion, the Son of Heaven is moved, and when it comes to Langmiao, the prime minister treats the guilty. The official is like holding a sword from Shang Fang in his hand, beating the king and the ministers, beating whoever he beats, and who dies, and there is no responsibility for the mistake. Therefore, every powerful minister since the founding of the dynasty, whether virtuous or treacherous, must firmly control the Taiwan advice.

As soon as I found Guan Li to inquire, what Liu Ling said was true, Old Master Zhu said something similar, and Guan Li whispered to him that the emperor also hated this old man.

Han Yanxuan realized that he had no way out. When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. Doing nothing at the critical moment is tantamount to sitting back and waiting to be slaughtered, and it is necessary to take advantage of the opponent's butcher's knife to make a move, and come to him by surprise and strike first.
