"Li Jie? I think I've heard of it...... I'm going to be a prisoner, well, that's okay. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info That's it......" Lu Chengqi said to himself, but Xu Chongguang listened to him and said seriously: "Previously, Lord Li presided over the repair task of Yanfu Palace, and the emperor rewarded him with merit and made him a general as a prisoner. ”

The official names of the Great Shun Dynasty are very peculiar, such as the yamen of the eunuch, and the highest official is also this name. For example, the supreme superintendent who will be the superintendent is also called the superintendent, and the supreme superintendent of the secretary is also called the secretary superintendent. Therefore, people often refer to these officials by the name of the yamen, and in the case of Li Jie, others generally call him Lord Li or will be a prisoner, without any abruptness.

Lu Chengqi knew that he would be in charge of the palace building, the production of gold, jade, pearl, and rhino elephant treasure vessels, the embroidery of lesami, and the creation of various strange utensils. "If he can be in the position of a supervisor, this Li Jie can be regarded as a talented person, and he can be regarded as a person who makes the best use of his work. It's just that he has risen so fast, will others have any complaints? No matter, anyway, it was brought up by this old man Xu, let him carry the black cauldron......" Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi was also relieved.

The two of them said something about what they didn't have, and time passed quickly. Both of them had a good conversation, after all, each took what he needed, which was a win-win situation. Lu Chengqi asked questions about the operation of the cabinet, and Xu Chongguang answered them one by one. There is nothing to hide this, as long as Lu Chengqi raises his feet, he can go directly from the Vertical Arch Hall to the Wende Palace, how the cabinet operates, he wants to know at any time.

Lu Chengqi looked at the sky and said, "Xu Qing has a lot of work, so I won't keep you." I still hope that Xu Qing will take care of his body, I still need you, Xu Shoufu, to assist me! ”

Xu Chongguang said "moved": "Your Majesty is very loving, and the old minister must assist with his heart!" The two of them competed with each other's acting skills, and on the surface they both put in a lot of effort, but in fact, they were despising themselves for being so hypocritical in their hearts. Xu Chongguang has to be hypocritical, if he wants to grab more power, he must first paralyze Lu Chengqi, so that Lu Chengqi can relax his vigilance before he can get the power he dreams of, and only then can he show his ambitions.

And Lu Chengqi wants to curry favor with this Xu Chongguang, this old man Xu who was helped up by him, if he doesn't even support him, then the officials may have to secretly work against Lu Chengqi. Lu Chengqi absolutely does not want to see this situation, when the courtiers he can trust do not climb to this position, the necessary envelopment is indispensable.

After Xu Chongguang walked out of the Vertical Arch Hall, his appearance was still that deep, but his heart was very happy. Li Jie is the only talent he discovered when he was the chief examiner. This person was born in a family of officials in the past dynasties, and was nurtured by his family since he was a child, and he was eager to learn and talent. He is good at calligraphy, painting, especially carpentry, and has devoted himself to the study of garden architecture for many years, and can be called a master-level figure. Li Jie is not only unique in architecture, but also has extensive research in geography, history, writing, music, etc. For his favorite garden architecture, Li Jie is well aware of all kinds of wooden components, roof trusses, carvings, color paintings, decorations, etc., and has drawn vividly, such as entrenchments, stone works, large wood works, small wood works, carving works, rotary works, sawing works, bamboo works, tile works, mud works, color paintings, brick works, kiln works, etc. I am afraid that the first person to use a bird's-eye view of the painting was not Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", but these ancient architectural masters.

Xu Chongguang was very satisfied with this disciple, and thought that his only shortcoming was that he was too honest, honest to the point of saying something. When the emperor was in the first place, he asked who could repair Yanfu Palace in the prison. All because Yanfu Palace has never been repaired since the previous dynasty was repaired. Inside the prison, everyone looks at each other. At that time, Li Jie was not a person in the prison, he was just a small cultivator from the eighth grade, just a civil official, and he didn't even have a real job. Hearing that the emperor was looking for someone who could repair the Yanfu Palace, he asked to see His Majesty and volunteered that he could repair it, but he needed the support of the emperor. The first emperor was greatly surprised, and asked him what to do if he couldn't repair it, Li Jie gritted his teeth and said: "The minister is willing to use the head of the Xiang as a guarantee, if it can't be completed, Your Majesty can take the minister's head!" The first emperor laughed and said, "As long as I want Yanfu Palace, what do I want you to do?" Even if you go to cultivate, even if you cultivate well, I won't blame you! ”

With this guarantee, Li Jie really let it go. In just three months, the Yanfu Palace, which had been a bit of a fiasco, was actually repaired as if it were newly created. Emperor Yuan Shou came to Yanfu Palace in person, and saw such a beautiful scenery, and words of appreciation were endless. Li Jie does have the ability, Yanfu Palace is still as big as it used to be, but a lot of small pavilions and pavilions have been added, which are located among the green trees and red flowers, and they are scattered.

Emperor Yuan Shou is an emperor with quite good artistic accomplishment, and immediately the east gate of Yanfu Palace is Chenhui, and the west gate is called Lize. The main hall is Yanfu and Ruizhu. The east side of the temple is given the names of Yiqing, Huining, Chengping, Emo, Ninghe, Kunyu, and Qunyu in turn. The pavilion is named Huifu, Baoqiong, Peach, Chunjin, Dieqiong, Fragrance, Liyu, Hanxiang, Fuyun, Yangai, Cuibao, Lead, Yunjin, Lanxun, Picking Jade, Fanying, Xuexiang, Phi Fang, Leadhua, Qionghua, Wenqi, Jiangcao, Qionghua, Luqi, Yaobi, Qingyin, Qiuxiang, Congyu, Fuyu, Jiangyun. In the north of the Huining Palace, there is a hill made of stacked stones, and there are one hall and two pavilions built on the mountain, which are named Cuiwei Palace, Yungui Pavilion, and Layer Pavilion.

In the vicinity of the Ninghe Palace, there are two small pavilions, and the Yuan Shou Emperor gave the name of Yuying, Yujian. Back against the city wall, build a small soil slope, plant apricot trees on it, named Xinggang, next to the thatched pavilion, repair bamboo, have no wild interest. The small pavilion on the right side of the palace, Emperor Yuan Shou is quite fond of it, personally writes down "Yanchun Pavilion", there is a small round pond next to it, the stone is the pavilion, and it is named Feihua. There is also a lake that has been dug into a spring and expanded, the lake is made as an embankment to receive the pavilion, and a sorghum is erected on the embankment to enter the lake again, there are a lot of fish in it, Emperor Yuan Shou likes to fish here. And the sorghum is set up with Maoting Gate, Hezhuang Gate, Luyan Gate, and Kongcui Gate. From this to the area of Lize Gate, Jiahua famous trees, similar clusters and distinctions, secluded like heaven and earth.

Li Jie's ability can be seen from this, and what is even more commendable is that this repair cost only seven-tenths of the budget, and the cost is only more than 700,000 yuan of silver. Emperor Yuan Shou was very happy and asked Li Jie what reward he wanted, and Li Jie said very sincerely: "The minister doesn't want to be a cultivator, he wants to be a prisoner." ”

Emperor Yuan Shou was greatly surprised, ordinary courtiers would not dare to ask for officials like this, but Li Jie said it partially. Seeing Li Jie's young face, his eyes as clear as water, Emperor Yuan Shou suddenly laughed and said: "It is not good to repair even a Yanfu Palace as a prisoner, but it is a great achievement to make a cultivator." I've always prided myself on being commissioned only by quantity, so why can't I set another precedent this time? Li Qing is so capable, being a cultivator is indeed a condescending talent. I will make you a young eunuch, and if you make great contributions, I will reward you with no hesitation! ”

As a result, Li Jie was promoted from the cultivator of the eighth rank to the general of the sixth rank as a young eunuch, and he envied many colleagues. But other people's skills, I don't have them, there is no other way but to blush. Later, Li Jie presided over the construction of a new Guozijian, and Emperor Yuan Shou looked at it differently. Asked him again what reward he wanted, Li Jie said honestly: "The minister is already very satisfied as a young eunuch, and if Your Majesty gives another reward, the minister will be ashamed." ”

Emperor Yuan Shou was even more fond of Li Jie, and soon found the reason and directly promoted him to be the general of the fourth grade. Since then, Li Jie's deeds as a craftsman as a big official have spread far and wide, and everyone has said that he is an upright Li Jiangzuo.

From these few things, it can be seen that Li Jie is such an honest person, not greedy for merit, and diligent in doing things, which boss doesn't like such subordinates? Li Jie's official position has been promoted again and again, which illustrates this truth. (To be continued.) )
