Chapter 881: Imperial Tomb Superintendent
In a blink of an eye, Xiuxiu had already lived in Huo Guogong's Mansion for half a month, during which she occasionally went back to Yizhou Hou's Mansion two or three times, and got together with Guo Ye several times.
Since the last time a bowl of Yangchun noodles triggered the father-daughter recognition, Chai Shao has changed a lot under remorse, and he has doubled his family affection for Xiuxiu.
Guo Ye can also see that Xiuxiu is very attached to her biological father, and she lived very happily in the days when she lived in Huo Guogong's mansion. She enjoyed this kind of long-lost family affection connected by blood, which she couldn't experience from Wu Maocai.
Therefore, even if Xiuxiu lived in Huo Guogong's Mansion for half a month, Guo Ye did not urge her to leave Chai Mansion and return home early, but let her spend more time with her biological father.
Moreover, Xiuxiu has a reliance and spiritual sustenance in Huo Guogong's Mansion, which is not a good thing in Guo Ye's mind, it is better than leaving her alone in the Hou Mansion.
Because he knows that in the next few days, he may really have to let Xiuxiu stay alone in the empty room for a long time.
Three days ago, Li Chunfeng returned from a field trip to Yong'an Village and brought back the drawings of the blessed land for the construction of the imperial tomb.
Then Gao Shilian took Li Chunfeng into the palace together, and presented the detailed drawings of the blessed land to Li Yuan. ”
After praising it, he mentioned to his son Li Shimin that this place has mountains and rivers, and the mountains and tigers in the dragon plate contain nobility, which must be an excellent place for feng shui.
Li Yuan repeatedly praised the blessed land of the imperial mausoleum in the west of Yong'an Village, and claimed that this is the place where he will be buried after returning to old age for a hundred years.
It is rare to see that his father likes and praises him, Li Shimin is naturally relieved, at least the old man will never be soft and hard with himself again, and recall Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and other old ministers of the martial arts department.
The stone on his chest fell to the ground, and the pimple in his heart was removed, His Majesty Li Er was naturally happy and praised Li Chunfeng, not only saying that he did not lose the name of Yuan Tiangang, but also enshrined Li Chunfeng as the new protector of the Tang Dynasty. From an official point of view, it is to officially recognize Li Chunfeng's inheritance of Yuan Tiangang's mantle, and to determine Li Chunfeng's status in Daomen from the standpoint of the imperial court.
All this was unexpected by Li Chunfeng, while he was grateful to His Majesty Li Er, he was also silently grateful to his cheap uncle Guo Ye in his heart.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was very clear in his heart, and the reputation, status, and wealth in front of him were all given by his cheap uncle Guo Ye.
Since Emperor Li Yuan is very satisfied with the blessed land of the imperial tomb and has determined the location of the imperial tomb, the next step is to start building the imperial tomb and other matters.
His Majesty Li Er had already made arrangements, when the court decreed that Gao Shilian would take the lead in the ceremony, and the Second Ministry of Engineering would be responsible for the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and Gao Shilian would be appointed as the envoy of the imperial mausoleum.
That is to say, as long as it involves the construction of the imperial mausoleum, Gao Shilian alone has the final say, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry must cooperate unconditionally.
Gao Shilian said that in supervising the construction of the imperial tomb, this retired veteran cadre not only held the financial power, personnel power, transportation power, but also the final power of life and death.
If you Cui Henian and Tang Jian dare to disobey the yang and the yin?
Then Gao Shilian is light in front of His Majesty Li Er.
Even a book is like this, what kind of waiter, Langzhong, Wailang, etc., what else can be hypocritical? What else can you talk about?
In order to better, faster and more efficiently complete the sacred mission assigned by His Majesty Li Er, Gao Shilian, at the instigation of Guo Ye, symbolically established a preparatory group for the supervision of the construction of the Tang Imperial Mausoleum.
Of course, according to Gao Shilian's name, it should be the Tang Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum Supervision Division.
This Tang Emperor's Mausoleum Supervision Department has no fixed subordinate departments and establishments, because both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry are just unconditionally cooperating and obeying.
Therefore, in addition to the number one leader of the Imperial Tomb Supervision Division, there are only a few team members, that is, temporary supervision officials.
As long as the Imperial Tomb is completed, the Imperial Tomb Supervision Department will be automatically banned, and the Supervision Envoy and several supervision officials will be abolished, which is just a temporary vacant position.
However, don't forget, now His Majesty Li Er's top priority is to build the imperial mausoleum for the Emperor Taishang very early.
Therefore, before the imperial mausoleum was completed, as long as the Supervision Department was in need, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, as well as other yamen of the imperial court, had to respond to every call and go around the Supervision Department to serve it.
Therefore, although it is a temporary position, the power of the Superintendent is quite large until the construction of the Imperial Tomb is completed.
At the very least, in the matter of the construction of the Imperial Tomb, the members of a preparatory group, that is, the officials of the Imperial Tomb Supervision Department, can be above the various ministries.
As for who is among the officials of the Imperial Tomb Supervision Division, Gao Shilian, the superintendent, naturally bears the brunt, and next, Cui Henian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, counts one, Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and even Zongzheng Siqing, who is in charge of imperial affairs, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, were all brought over by His Majesty Li Er and hung up their names.
For the rest of the places, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry can each recommend a quota because they belong to the active cooperation units of the project, so as to coordinate the work of each ministry in a more timely and efficient manner.
Cui Henian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, naturally couldn't recommend Guo Ye, he recommended the number one iron under his command, Zhao Feixuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.
Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, recommended Zhao Mingde, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, although this person was subordinate to Tang Jian in the Ministry of Industry, he had a great background, not only the backbone of the Tiance Mansion, but also from the Zhao family of Guangyuan Mansion. The Guangyuan Zhao family and the Qinghe Cui family are equally famous, and they belong to one of the eight major families.
And this Zhao Mingde, who is only forty years old, is the eldest son of Zhao Youxin, the head of the Guangyuan Zhao family.
Don't look at Tang Jian's scenery outside, in the Ministry of Industry, he often sometimes has to listen to Zhao Mingde, the left waiter.
From another point of view, Zhao Mingde is only gold-plated in the Ministry of Industry, and if he is more beautiful in time, the Guan Long family will push him to an important position of real power and become a real backbone.
Perhaps, this Zhao Mingde will become the second eldest grandson Wuji in a few years, and become the representative of the interests of the Guanlong clan in the court.
This is the consistent means of cultivating the successor strength of the Guanlong clan.
After determining the list of officials of the Supervision Department, on a sunny afternoon, Gao Shilian sent out an invitation post and invited these people to his former Gaofu in Chang'an.
After the members of the Supervision Department gathered in the Gao Mansion, Gao Shilian invited everyone into the main hall of the mansion where the meeting was held on weekdays.
Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, Cui Henian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Feixuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Mingde, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, were impressively present and sat on both sides of the left and right halls.
Everyone is familiar with each other, so they don't need to be introduced, among them, there is only Zhao Feixuan, a fresh face, but they quickly became familiar with each other.
Zhao Feixuan was undoubtedly the most excited among everyone, because today he had met so many people, all of whom were momentary magnates and important ministers of the imperial court, and he was once again grateful to Cui Henian for his suggestion, so as to broaden his Zhao Feixuan's connections a lot.
Everyone present chatted for a while, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, who had a transcendent status, took the lead in proposing to Gao Shilian: "Lord Gao, you are the emperor's envoy to supervise the imperial tomb, so in the matter of supervising the construction of the imperial tomb, all of us present must obey your arrangements and dispatches. Therefore, if you have any arrangements for the old man, just ask for it, and we will definitely worship it. ”
Li Daozong's voice fell, and everyone nodded yes one after another, even if a few people were not convinced, but His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth, who dared to easily provoke Gao Shilian's authority?
Gao Shilian stood up slightly, looked around, smiled and nodded to everyone, but stretched out his hand and waved, and said: "This matter of arranging the ministry is not busy for the time being, before getting into the main topic, the old man will first introduce the deputy envoy of our Imperial Tomb Supervision Department to you to get acquainted." ”
Supervising the deputy envoy?
As soon as this remark came out, it shocked everyone.
Because before everyone came to Gaofu to attend the meeting, they had never heard of the position of the Imperial Tomb Inspector and the Deputy Envoy.
Among the people present, except for Gao Shilian himself as the supervising envoy, the others are all supervising officials, and there is no distinction between high and low.
But Leng Buding came out of a deputy envoy to supervise the creation, and he was bound to override the few people present, isn't this an extra person pressing himself on his head out of thin air?
For a while, some people looked dazed, some people looked disdainful, and some people were even angry, who is this deputy envoy?
Even Li Daozong, the prince of Jiangxia who was born in the royal family, is just an ordinary superintendent official, could it be that the title of this superintendent deputy envoy will be higher than that of Li Daozong?
If the status is higher than that of Li Daozong, now that Li Tai, the king of Wei, has been demoted, and the crown prince Li Chengqian has been deposed, is it Li Ke, the king of Shu? Or are the concubines of the Emperor Taishang out of the princes, that is, the half-brothers of the Holy Saint today?
Just as everyone was muttering in their hearts, there was a sound of footsteps outside the main hall, and soon, an official wearing a goose-winged hat and a scarlet robe walked in.
"Everyone, haha, it's been a long wait, it's been a long wait, it's been a long wait, there is a traffic jam on the road...... Uh, no, it's the congestion of people on the road to Gaofu, and the inconvenience of horse-drawn carriages, so that it is delayed, and I hope to forgive Haihan! ”
This scarlet-robed official who came in and laughed and accompanied him, half of the people present knew him, and he was really a narrow road!
The person who came was the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the Marquis of Yizhou - Guo Ye.
