Chapter Eighty-Six: The Controversy in the Court

The next morning, Emperor Zhenzong still sat on the dragon chair of the Xuande Hall as usual, and the eunuch shouted loudly: "Long live the early dynasty!" Something to start, nothing to retreat! ”

When he shouted twice, Chen Changzhou saw that no one was out of the class, so he stood up from the train, raised the wat board in his hand and bowed down and said, "Weichen Kaifeng Mansion Yin Chen Changzhou has something to play." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Emperor Zhenzong nodded to the eunuch, and the eunuch said, "Quasi-play!" ”

Chen Changzhou handed the fold in his hand to the eunuch's hand, and the eunuch took it and put it on top of the dragon case. Emperor Zhenzong opened the fold and read it and said, "Oh, Chen Aiqing, you will explain the meaning in detail in the fold, and tell you Aiqing to listen to it, please discuss whether this matter is feasible!" ”

Chen Changzhou nodded and said: "Long live, in order to strengthen management, Weichen recently looked around in Bianliang City and found that the freezer street has been dirty and messy in the past, and now it has changed its old appearance and new look, and the environment has changed greatly." ”

Emperor Zhenzong felt great interest when he heard this, and leaned down and said, "Oh, how has it changed." ”

Chen Changzhou said: "After the construction is in full swing, the whole freezer street has changed from the phenomenon of muddy water on rainy days and dusty everywhere on sunny days, and now it has become beautiful and generous, and the streets are spacious and tidy, which can really be said to be earth-shaking." The renovated Freezer Street is simply as beautiful as the Royal Street. All this is because of the wise leadership of His Majesty, our Great Song Dynasty, after the rule of Xianping, the country's economy has achieved unprecedented development, so that the urban construction has undergone rapid changes and rapid development. ”

Emperor Zhenzong was touted by Chen Changzhou to eat ice cream on dog days, and his heart was full of beauty, and he said with a smile: "The peace of the country and the people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, is the foundation of the country, which requires the concerted efforts of all the Aiqing to achieve long-term peace and stability for the country." ”

Chen Changzhou said: "Your Majesty said that it is sage, we will spare no effort and do our best, and after death, we will build the Great Song Dynasty into a more prosperous country." ”

Emperor Zhenzong nodded, picked up the fold and looked at it twice, and said, "Then Chen Aiqing, what is the significance of your suggestion in the fold to add a city gate at the east end of Freezer Street?" ”

Chen Changzhou said: "Your Majesty, this additional city gate is by no means an imagination, but a demonstration reached by Weichen after many field investigations, and the addition of a city gate is actually a move for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

Emperor Zhenzong said: "How can it benefit the country and the people? ”

Chen Changzhou said: "Your Majesty, after a field investigation, Weichen feels that although the development of Freezer Street has been completed, and various facilities and buildings have begun to take shape, what is lacking now is the network, so that it will not be able to form a prosperous commercial area for a while. Weichen felt that the key was that the road there was not smooth enough, and a high city wall blocked the road between east and west. If Your Majesty had allowed a gate to be carved out of the wall to the east of Freezer Street, then Freezer Street would have been able to extend in all directions, and it would not have flourished in a short time. ”

Emperor Zhenzong waved his hand and said: "Chen Aiqing, just now you said that if you add a city gate, it will be a matter of benefiting the country and the people, but I have listened to it for a long time, why did I only hear that the passage was unblocked, how could this reflect the benefit of the country and the people!" ”

Chen Changzhou said: "Your Majesty, if this passage is unblocked, the residences and shops on Freezer Street can be sold as soon as possible, so that the developer's funds can be revitalized as soon as possible, and the private funds will flow rapidly, which will promote the rise of purchasing power, and the rise of purchasing power will promote the circulation of commodities, and the prosperity of commodity circulation will invisibly increase the financial resources of the country's taxes, so the income of the treasury will continue to flow, and the national strength will be greatly enhanced. ”

Emperor Zhenzong listened and nodded repeatedly.

Chen Changzhou continued: "With the addition of a city gate, a prosperous commercial street will soon be formed on Freezer Street, and each store will have to hire at least two guys, which will solve the employment problem of many people, and the people's income will also increase, and the people's lives will gradually become richer. I believe that if a city gate is added, the freezer street will be rapidly prosperous in a short period of time, which will also drive the prosperity of Bianliang City, and in the near future, Tokyo Bianliang will form an international metropolis, and there will be a new atmosphere of Wanxian Dynasty, which is a good thing with one stone. ”

Emperor Zhenzong said: "Okay, do you have any objections?" ”

At this time, Fucheng Wang Qinruo came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it, you must not listen to this Chen Changzhou nonsense. ”

The Emperor of the True Dynasty was being enthusiastically said by Chen Changzhou, but Wang Qinruo's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, so he said very unhappily: "Wang Fucheng, what can you say!" ”

Wang Qinruo stabilized his emotions and said: "Your Majesty, this capital is the foundation of the country, and the walls of the capital are the barrier to protect Your Majesty's safety. ”

Emperor Zhenzong pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, is there anything else to say! ”

Wang Qinruo took advantage of the situation and said: "Of course, how can this city wall be chiseled indiscriminately, how can anyone who wants to add a city gate to add it, today to dig a gate in the east, tomorrow to dig a gate in the west, it won't take long, this Tokyo Bianliang City will be opened, not to mention the destruction of feng shui, even the safety of His Majesty is not guaranteed, Chen Changzhou is really ill-intentioned!" ”

Emperor Zhenzong waved his hand and said: "Wang Aiqing, everyone is talking about things, Chen Changzhou proposed to add a city gate, it is out of public intentions, how can you say that people are unpredictable, don't go to the line, although I am not a holy king, I am still very confident, and there is no minister who wants to put me to death." ”

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Zhenzong waved his hand and said: "All families love Qing's body, and they are flat." ”

All the ministers stood up and returned to the train.

At this time, I only heard someone say: "Your Majesty, Weichen is playing!" ”

Emperor Zhenzong looked at the voice, and when he saw that it was Ding Wei, the Minister of Political Affairs, he said: "Ding Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

Ding Wei came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Kaifeng Mansion Yin played is feasible. ”

Right now, this Ding Wei is getting the favor of Emperor Zhenzong, so Emperor Zhenzong said: "Ding Aiqing, please tell me your reasoning." ”

Ding said: "The addition of a city gate to the east of Freezer Street, as Chen Changzhou said, is really a move for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Emperor Zhenzong said: "This Chen Changzhou has already said before, Ding Aiqing, you can tell me if the addition of the city gate has any impact on the feng shui of my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Ding said: "Your Majesty, the theory of feng shui has been around for a long time, and it has a history of more than 2,000 years. Lord Wang's worries are not unreasonable, but they are a bit one-sided. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Zhenzong leaned forward and said, "Are there those one-sided? ”

Ding said: "Feng Shui is not static, and it is constantly changing with the passage of time, therefore, Feng Shui must also be used flexibly according to the time and local conditions, so as to achieve the purpose of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil." ”

Emperor Zhenzong said: "What Ding Aiqing said is very reasonable. ”

Wang Qinruo said: "Then may I ask Lord Ding, what if the addition of a gate to this city wall destroys the feng shui of my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Ding Wei shook his head with a smile and said: "Lord Wang, you are listening to the one who said that the destruction of feng shui, according to my years of research on the Book of Changes, adding a city gate to the east of the freezer street not only cannot destroy the feng shui, but also conforms to the time of the day, which will help the Great Song Dynasty to be eternal and be passed on to future generations." ”

Emperor Zhenzong was very happy when he heard this: "Ding Aiqing, hurry up and talk about how to adapt to the time of heaven." ”

Ding Wei said: "In the east of the city wall of the freezer street to add a city gate, is in response to the purple air from the east said, everyone think about every morning when the city gate opens, is facing the brilliant morning sun, does not it indicate that I have a great Song Dynasty, like the rising sun in the east, thriving." Then there is the water potential flowing from west to east, water is wealth, and the freezer street tax will be a long stream, which will make the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty more and more abundant, which shows that Tokyo Bianliang is a big cornucopia, this is really God bless the Great Song Dynasty, and the good situation of the Wanxian Dynasty will definitely come as soon as possible. ”

The emperor who didn't like to sing praises of merit, and always had the ambition to realize the Wanxian Dynasty, so after listening to Ding Wei's eloquent talk, Emperor Zhenzong "snapped" and said loudly: "Quasi-play." An additional gate will be added to Freezer Street with immediate effect. The two silver fees shall be allocated by the household department according to the facts. ”

Wang Qinruo and the others just want to oppose it too late, even if they debate further, they are not Ding Wei's opponents. Because Ding Wei was not only the first master of the country's financial management at that time, but also one of the few masters in the Book of Changes, it would only be futile to continue to debate, but it would cause the emperor's disgust, so Wang Qinruo did not speak out again, and returned to the train with his head down and sulked himself.

Thus was the matter of the additional gates of the city.

The eunuch shouted three times at the top of his voice: Something to start, nothing to retreat. As Emperor Zhenzong returned to the palace first, the Manchu Dynasty walked out of the Xuande Hall one after another.

Chen Changzhou and Ding Wei walked out of the Xuande Hall side by side, neither of them spoke or communicated, they just looked at each other and smiled, everything was tacit.

Sometimes, although there are different political views and different battle fronts, once they are driven by common interests, they will form an alliance, even if it is a temporary alliance!

Because above the court, Wang Qinruo's suggestion was not adopted by Emperor Zhenzong, but made a fuss, so as the assistant of the court, he returned home with a stomach, closed the door and hid in the study with a plate of peanuts, and drank a cup of stuffy wine.

As soon as the three glasses of wine were down, the servant who guarded the door came to the study and reported, "Master, there is Xie Jinwu outside asking to see you." ”

Wang Qinruo said angrily: "Don't you see that I'm annoying, don't you see!" ”

The servant had no choice but to walk out, but Na Zhi had just walked five or six steps when Wang Qinruo shouted, "Let Xie Jinwu come in!" ”

After a while, a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in scholar's costume and very handsome, walked into the study, bowed to Wang Qinruo and said, "Greetings to the old man in the evening!" ”

Wang Qinruo said: "Jinwu, you don't have to be polite, you just sit down and have a few drinks with the old man." ”

This person is Wang Qinruo's protΓ©gΓ© Xie Jinwu, in ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty, people who were officials in the court liked to recognize their protΓ©gΓ©s, and at the same time, these folk students who studied hard were also willing to worship the powerful people of the dynasty as teachers, which was profitable for both parties.

After recognizing their protΓ©gΓ©s, the magnates can carefully train them and recommend them to the emperor as their successors, so that once they retire, they can still call for wind and rain if they still have spokespersons in the court.

And worshipping the magnates as teachers is something that students can't ask for, so that students can find a shortcut and ladder to get promoted, and there are many detours in their careers.

Xie Jinwu sat down, and when he saw that Wang Qinruo only ate a plate of peanuts, he couldn't help but say in awe: "Although the boss is in a high position, his life is so frugal, which is really admirable to his later life." ”

In fact, Wang Qinruo is frugal here, but he is depressed in his heart, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, listening to Xie Jinwu say this, he did not hide his mood and said: "There, the old man came back from the dynasty and felt irritable in his heart, just drink some stuffy wine, why bother those weeks and make some dishes." ”

Xie Jinwu said with a smile: "I don't know why the boss is upset, can you talk to the late life." ”

Wang Qinruo pondered for a moment, took a sip of wine from his wine glass and said, "Okay, this matter doesn't involve any court secrets, and it doesn't hurt to talk to you." Then he told me about the events of this morning.

After finishing speaking, he sighed and said: "Alas, adding a city gate there will obviously break the feng shui of Bianliang City, but Banzai doesn't know what to think, and it is allowed to do so, which is really incomprehensible." ”

Xie Yuanwu lowered his head and thought for a long time and said, "Then my lord, if there is a city gate on Freezer Street, will it really have broad development prospects!" ”

Wang Qinruo said: "Of course, judging from the old man's vision, it will definitely become popular in the future." ”

Xie Jinwu said: "Then this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people!" ”

Wang Qinruo said: "What is a good thing for the country and the people, the one who takes the biggest advantage is Ding Wei." He is the big man behind Ding Qian, the owner of the Freezer Street development project, but I don't have direct evidence. ”

Xie Jinwu said blankly: "Boss, what's the big deal about this Ding Wei taking advantage, are you angry with this!" ”

Wang Qinruo shook it with a wry smile and said: "Jin Wu, you are still young, you don't understand the relationship here, think about it, this Ding Wei has always disagreed with me, he will further connect with some contacts if he has silver, his interpersonal relationships are wide, then there are many opportunities for promotion, just quickly, sooner or later, won't he step on the top of my head one day!" At that time, he yelled at me, and he was the one who was angry? ”

Xie Jinwu suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, so boss, you have a countermeasure next!" ”

Wang Qinruo said: "That Ding is now eating in front of the emperor, I can't help him for the time being, and his attainments in feng shui are very deep, and the old man can't refute him for a while, so at present, I can only endure for a while, take a step and see a step!" ”

Xie Jinwu smiled indifferently and persuaded: "Boss, since you can't help that Ding Wei for the time being, why are you sulking like this." Angry and hurtful, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, listen to the persuasion of the late life, and simply laugh at this matter, let's give him a wait and wait. ”

Wang Qinruo said in surprise: "Jin Wu, what is it to wait and talk." ”

Xie Jinwu said: "Boss, as the saying goes, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days." I don't believe that Ding Wei can be favored by Banzai for a long time, we should stop the drum for now, avoid its edge, and when Ding Wei loses power, we will give him a fatal blow. ”

Wang Qinruo happily praised when he heard this: "Okay, this is really terrifying, Jin Wu, your opinion is really high." ”

Xie Jinwu said humbly: "There, I'm just a bystander, sharing some sorrows for the boss, it's not a high-level theory." However, my lord, this money is not everything, but it is impossible to do without money, and we should also take the opportunity to grab some silver. ”

Wang Qinruo said: "You are not a businessman, if you go there to grab the silver, can't you rob it?" ”

Xie Jinwu said: "Robbery is not enough, there is an opportunity in front of us at present." ”

Wang Qinruo said: "What an opportunity, where is the opportunity." ”

Xie Jinwu said: "Boss, there is an opportunity in the MixC on Freezer Street. ”

Wang Qinruo still didn't react and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Xie Jinwu said with a Taoist analysis: "At present, there is a city gate to be added to the freezer street, and it will definitely become popular in the future, why don't we take the opportunity to buy some shops there, and when the time comes, isn't it also a big investment." ”

Wang Qinruo nodded and said: "This is indeed a way to make money, but the court has long stipulated that those who are officials in Beijing are not allowed to buy houses, and besides, the old man relies on his family to support his family, so he has a lot of savings to buy a shop!" ”

Xie Jinwu said with a smile: "My lord, I didn't let you show up to buy a store, you are a minister of the court, and you will lose your identity if you do that." Kingo's family has a lot of money, so I guess no one will take care of it when I go to buy a store! ”

Wang Qinruo agreed: "This is a good idea, I don't know when you plan to buy it!" ”

Xie Jinwu said: "It's better to act than to move, it's better to do things sooner rather than later, I'll go home to prepare silver taels, and go to Freezer Street to buy a shop in the afternoon, while the city gate has not yet been opened, I can still suppress the price." ”

Wang Qinruo happily patted Xie Jinwu's shoulder and said, "It's still a young man who has momentum and does things vigorously, okay, you can go quickly!" I await your good news. ”

Xie Jinwu stood up, bowed to Wang Qinruo, and said, "Boss, retire that night!" ”
