Before Ye Yingwu's words fell, cheers had already sounded in the entire lobby, and even people on the second floor of the teahouse could be heard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

All the scholars who were listening had a feeling of enlightenment, and suddenly felt that their eyes in this life could not reach this height, after all, even if they were open-minded in this era, they were far from being open enough to openly discuss the ownership of imperial power, so this bold young man broke through the sky with one word, and indeed woke up these people in their dreams.

Seeing that all eyes fell on Ye Yingwu, the scholar who received countless compliments at the beginning suddenly turned red and took a step forward: "You really don't know the height of the sky, this is slandering the monarch, talking about the government in vain, and unhealthy trends!" ”

Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously touched his nose. A slander of oneself seems to be only "self-black", is it so serious? However, he still solemnly tidied up his clothes: "I have great respect for Da Ming and His Majesty, what I said just now should be true, you have all heard it, and you can refute it if you want to, but the hat of 'slandering the monarch' is buttoned down, and you can't afford it." What's more, a certain just now greatly praised the Ming Provincial System, even if it is a vain discussion of the government is to pat the court ministers on the back, although it is also an unhealthy trend, but this is your favorite thing to do on weekdays, and it is more perfect than a certain one. ”

Although Ye Yingwu said it is not good, but it is a fact, everyone usually discusses the policies of the Ming Dynasty in order to pass smoothly in the autumn season, and they are also discussed in a good direction. However, these scholars are often self-assured, and when they are ridiculed so clearly, their faces still can't hold back, and the gaze that looks at Ye Yingwu changes from admiration to disdain.

This guy is so arrogant that he still has a place in the world.

It's just that they don't know that Ye Yingwu now has a long-lost sense of refreshment, and he pointed coldly at Qianfu, and he really had the demeanor of Ye Eryan when he took a group of fox friends and dog friends across Willow Lane on Thirty-six Flower Street. And Hui Niang, who was standing behind Ye Yingwu, looked at Zhao Yunshu helplessly, and said in a low voice:

"Sister Shu'er, no matter how you look at it, you look like a ruffian."

"He was originally born in Lin'an Ya, what is the difference between him and a ruffian." Zhao Yunshu sighed lightly, "Actually, it's the true colors now." ”

Seeing that Ye Yingwu had invisibly angered the many scholars around him, the scholar who had always thought highly of himself sneered: "I didn't expect you to be so ignorant, this Lingbo Building is a place where all the virtuous people come, and I ask my brother to leave." ”

"Lingbo Building is a teahouse, if you want to come, you can come, if you are willing to go, why do you let you go?" Ye Yingwu looked at this guy with interest.

"Ho, what a big breath!" The gentleman snorted coldly, and looked this guy up and down again, this person's clothes are definitely not rich and noble, and there is a natural feeling of being a ruffian in the market between his gestures, and he can't help but add a little disdain, "Do you know the identity of so-and-so?!" I usually don't like to use power to suppress people, but now that I encounter a scoundrel like you, I have no choice but to use this outside of my body. ”

Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, and immediately frowned: "What is your identity?" ”

"There are still people in this Luoyang City who don't know the Gao family!" Several scholars suddenly coaxed on one side.

The scholar also patted his chest without hesitation: "My father is the general judge of Luoyang Mansion, my little sister and the new Shandong Province of Daming to appease Zhao Xianggong still have a marriage contract, you can afford to come to Lingbo Building, and you are not a barren person in the family, but how can you compare to so!" So don't call the official to kick you out, or let's go to the official mansion to see the real chapter and know who is the biggest in Luoyang City! ”

Zhao Wenyi is not stupid, he knows that he can't find his in-laws in Shandong Province, but it's a pity that this Gao family is not a good choice, and he doesn't know how Guo Chang, a good friend, gave him ideas, and it seems that the Gao family is not a day or two. Ye Yingwu couldn't help but snort.

Later, Zhao Yunwei had already laughed out loud.

And Ye Yingwu bowed his hand to the Gao family Yanei seriously: "I have been looking up for a long time, but I'm afraid that Yanai doesn't know, there are also people in a certain court!" ”

Gao Jiayanei was about to have a seizure, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he didn't believe that this scholar with the body of Bai Ding could still have a backer who was bigger than Zhao Wenyi, in that case, he would not enter and exit the Lingbo Building in the south of the city but directly enter and exit the yamen of the official mansion in the north of the city: "Who can you be?" ”

After thinking about it, Ye Yingwu smiled and said, "This may be more." Let me count it carefully, the Ya Nei of the Ming Dynasty Dazong Zheng Ye Xianggong, the brother-in-law of the Ming Governor Lu Xianggong, the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty Zuo Prime Minister Wen Xianggong, the brother-in-law of the Ming Dynasty Military Department Shangshu Zhang Xianggong, and the younger brother of the right attendant Ye Xianggong of the Ming Rite Department・・・・・・"

Ye Yingwu's fingers snapped quickly, and he didn't forget to look back at Zhao Yunshu and them: "Hey, you guys are helping someone to count, don't miss anything." ”

And Gao Jiayan's face had changed, and just when he wanted to open his mouth to scold this person for "messing around", a loud noise suddenly came from the stairs, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

I saw a middle-aged man rolling down the stairs without any image at all, and even his hat and jade pendant fell, so frightened that the servant behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help, but before the servant came up, the man had already rushed straight to Ye Yingwu's side, and bowed directly to the ground:

"Song Jun, the prefect of Luoyang Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live! Ladies and gentlemen, Chitose Chitose! The minister has eyes and does not know the power of heaven, does not know that His Majesty has arrived, and has not been able to meet him from afar, and hopes that His Majesty will forgive his sins! ”

"Uncle Song・・・・・・" Before Gao Jiaya's words could speak, his face was already pale.

And the surrounding scholars and people have already fallen to the ground in unison. At this time, no one can care about anything else, everyone just now more or less has a great disrespect for the official family, which can no longer be solved by paying a big salute.

Ye Yingwu smiled helplessly, and stepped forward to support Song Jun: "Song Qing's family quickly invites up, since I am here in a white fish and dragon suit, I want to listen to the voices of the people in this ten-zhang soft red, Song Qing's family is so public, but I have nothing to do." ”

Song Jun's arms trembled a little and slowly stood up: "Your Majesty・・・・・・"

Ye Yingwu turned around again, stretched out his hand and pointed to the Gao family ya, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face: "This is the Yanai of Luoyang Mansion who sentenced Gao Qi." ”

Gritting his teeth, Song Jun nodded: "Exactly." ”

Ye Yingwu stretched out his fan and knocked it heavily on the shoulder of the Gao family, and his voice turned cold: "It is true that literati are arrogant, and their arrogance is also due to their personal character, I can't comment on it, and I won't blame you." But this battle of bullying and relying on the majesty of my own Lao Tzu or even my own family without a single character to subdue people should definitely not be done by my Ming official eunuch! ”

Gao Jiayan trembled all over, and couldn't say a word for a while, but just looked at Song Jun with a distress look, hoping that Song Jun could intercede for himself. Once His Majesty is really angry, it is really possible to uproot their Gao family, and Zhao Wenyi will naturally not marry the Gao family again.

Song Jun just wanted to speak, but Ye Yingwu raised his hand to stop him, turned around and walked straight towards the door: "The Tianwu Army lacks soldiers, this person directly fills the army, when to accumulate military merits to the head of the capital is allowed to decide to stay at his own discretion." In addition, let Gao Qi study behind closed doors for a month, considering the fault of his godson, many political affairs in Luoyang Mansion were led by Song Qing's family. ”

The atmosphere in the entire Lingbo Building seemed to be frozen, and Song Jun bent down deeply in the direction that Ye Yingwu left: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Wave after wave of sound rushed out of the lobby and swept into the sky with the wind.

――――――――――――――――――

The mountains and rivers are full of eyes, and the plains are vast. In ancient times, famous people fought generously for this field. Once 100 years old, the phase will return to the north. As the remnant vein of the Qinling Mountains, Beibi Mountain is actually not high, but because of the wonderful topography of the mountains and rivers and overlooking Luoyang, it has always become the favorite place for celebrities and gentlemen to choose to enter the soil throughout the ages.

Just the mausoleums of the emperors of all dynasties have more than 30 in the vast northern mountains, not to mention the famous ministers and scholars of the past dynasties such as Lü Buwei and Du Fu. The Beibi Mountain, which is no more than 100 zhang high and spans no more than 400 miles from east to west, has witnessed the changes of thousands of years of Chinese history in silence, and has also witnessed too many cold and summer exchanges and dynastic changes.

How many people are hanging here, but they have become the object of others in the rapid passage of time.

This is the first time that Ye Yingwu has climbed the North Mountain, far and near, high and low hills have been extending to the horizon, Ye Yingwu knows very well that these hills are somewhat abrupt on the plain, in fact, buried below are one after another or short-lived, or widely known emperors, no matter how their achievements are commented by descendants thousands of years later, they are so unique and lie here quietly after their deaths.

Hui Niang took the maid to the front of the various mausoleums to hang herself, while Ye Yingwu walked slowly on the mountain road, the entire Beibi Mountain has been blocked by the Praetorian Guards, as long as Ye Yingwu is willing, Xiao Yangzi and their killers dare to pat their chests to ensure that not a single bird wants to fly over.

Chen Yuanliang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, was already waiting in the pavilion on the mountain not far away, and when he saw Ye Yingwu coming, he strode forward and arched his hand: "See Your Majesty." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "I came a step late, but it made Chen Qing's family wait for a long time." ”

Chen Yuanliang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so polite, let the courtiers be honestly afraid." ”

Ye Yingwu glanced at him with a smile and continued to walk forward: "Have you seen all this Luoyang City?" ”

"Well, I've walked all over this north, and I've finished reading it." Chen Yuanliang hurriedly followed, "Luoyang City is the imperial capital for many years, although it is far more deserted and dilapidated than back then, but the scale of the Tang Dynasty can be seen. ”

Ye Yingwu knew that Chen Yuanliang's emotion was emotional. Ye Yingwu is still very clear about the size of the area of these capitals in the past dynasties, Tang Chang'an City is 78.2 million square meters, Song Bianliang City is 19.2 million square meters, Ming and Qing Dynasties are 62 million square meters of Beijing City, that is to say, in fact, in the era of Chinese civilization and prosperity, the capital is still the smallest Bianliang City in the Song Dynasty, although this is limited by the topography of Bianliang, but it also has a lot to do with the fact that the Song Dynasty is not a unified dynasty. And if Ye Yingwu is not mistaken, this Luoyang City also has 42 million square meters, which is also a lot larger than Bianliang and Lin'an.

(Author's note: The above data refers to Mr. Zhang Yuhuan's "History of Chinese Cities", in which the area of Luoyang City is estimated by me based on the length of the city wall provided in the book, which is not accurate, but it is not about the same)

Ye Yingwu looked sideways at Chen Yuanliang: "I recruited you from the south of the Yangtze River, and I traveled thousands of miles and traveled tirelessly, naturally not to take a look at this Luoyang City, but to build the north for the Ming Dynasty." And where to put this line, I must take into account the opinion of your Ministry of Industry. ”

"Your Majesty wants to establish a bank in the north?" Chen Yuanliang was slightly stunned.

The so-called palace is a palace built by the emperor in a certain place, and it is possible for the emperor to go or not, but the so-called line refers to the place where the emperor will inevitably arrive and stay, in fact, in the town, the imperial court will also reserve a set of administrative institutions, once the incident occurs suddenly, it is completely possible to start this set of standby administrative institutions to support the normal operation of the country.

However, unlike the capital, Xingzai only plays the role of accompanying the capital at a critical time, and cannot completely replace the position of the capital in a country. For example, during the Sui Dynasty, Luoyang and Yangzhou were actually similar to the big cities in the line, and the capital of the Great Sui was still Daxing (i.e., Chang'an); For example, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty is still Bianliang, Lin'an is just called Xingzai, all administrative facilities are simplified, and even the emperor's mausoleum is simplified, so as to move the mausoleum after the success of the Northern Expedition.

Now hearing that Ye Yingwu was only establishing a presence in the north instead of moving the capital, Chen Yuanliang breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had already anticipated what he was doing this time, after all, there was nothing other than this kind of big event that was worth his journey to the Ming Ministry of Works, so she had been worried all the way.

After all, as a standard southerner, Chen Yuanliang didn't want to watch the country's center of gravity move north, not to mention the bitter cold in the north over the years, although the southerners were very keen on the Northern Expedition, but they didn't have much interest in living in the north.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuanliang asked tentatively, "Then where does Your Majesty plan to establish a line?" ”

"How many options do you have in mind?" Ye Yingwu asked unhurriedly.

Chen Yuanliang was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "If you want to say that there are three better choices for setting up a bank in the northern region that my Ming Dynasty has now controlled. One is the former Song Dynasty capital city Bianliang, Bianliang is also the most economically developed town in the whole north, there is enough foundation, but it also carries the traces of the former Song Dynasty, and the big river hangs above Bianliang, the big river does not change its course for a day, then Bianliang has the risk of being swept by the river for a day; The second place is Luoyang City in front of His Majesty, but Luoyang City is in the heart of the Central Plains, as a line can certainly reflect the importance of the imperial court to the Central Plains, but in the future, if you want to rely on Luoyang to develop to the north or west, it is a little beyond the reach of the whip. ”

"The last place I think is Chang'an."

Chen Yuanliang nodded: "Your Majesty is right, Chang'an is the capital of the Han and Tang dynasties after all, although it has been abandoned over the years, but its effect of suppressing Guanzhong and connecting Tubo and the Western Regions is something that Bianliang and Luoyang can't do. However, Chang'an is not without drawbacks, Chang'an City is now located in Guanzhong, relatively remote, and may face the threat of Hexi at any time, unless the Ming can advance the troops to Yumen Pass and Hetao, Chang'an will always be at risk of being re-invaded by foreign races. ”

Ye Yingwu stood in the wind thoughtfully, and Chen Yuanliang didn't say much, he had already stated the pros and cons very clearly, as for Ye Yingwu's choice, it was not something he could decide for his courtiers, not to mention that Ye Yingwu had to consider more political and economic factors in addition to these simple geographical factors and war factors.

After a long time, Ye Yingwu turned around and walked deeper into the mountain, and said lightly: "That's Chang'an, Chen Aiqing took the people from the Ministry of Industry to Chang'an to investigate whether there is a possibility of building a palace, a temple of heaven and earth, and a shrine for Sheji, and quickly return to me. ”

Chen Yuanliang responded solemnly.

However, Ye Yingwu stopped in front, because not far away, a mound, which was actually inconspicuous, was unexpectedly full of incense, and on the stone tablet in front of the mound, although the words "Tomb of the Tang Du Gongbu" had been baptized by wind and rain, they were still faintly visible.

"The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring and grass." Ye Yingwu walked over, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the tombstone, and muttered, "I will not let my people go through this tragedy of the destruction of the country again." (To be continued.) )
