Yang Yi and Ma Hanqing entered the palace in the same car, there was no court meeting today, Yang Yi let the car enter from the nearby Zuoye Gate, where thousands of craftsmen gathered, and the house of the secretary and supervisor was being demolished, preparing to build a Ming Hall here. !Remember.

There is "return to see the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven sits in the Ming Hall", if you misunderstand the 'Ming Hall' as all kinds of bright palaces, it is a big mistake.

Mingtang refers to a specific palace in the imperial palace, which is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties declared politics and religion and held ceremonies.

To put it bluntly, the palace in the middle is square, and there is a large circle of circular pedestals outside, surrounded by white marble railings, decorated with golden dragons; Access to four out, each has left and right rooms, the east out of the Qingyang, the south out of the Ming Hall, the west out of the general chapter, the north out of the Xuantang.

According to records, the most magnificent Ming Hall in history is the Ming Hall built by the Wu Zhou Dynasty, at that time Wu Biantian called it the Divine Palace, as high as 294 feet, 86 meters in later generations, and 300 feet wide on each side.

The ancients built an 86-meter-high palace without reinforced concrete, which is equivalent to the height of a 30-story building in later generations, which cannot but be said to be a miracle in the history of architecture.

However, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has been no Ming Hall, and the Empress Dowager Liu Qingjing felt that it was inappropriate, so she proposed to build a Ming Hall in the Zuoye Gate.

The deacons of the political hall discussed several times, and felt that the Great Song Dynasty did not even have a Ming Hall, which was indeed a bit unusual, and now that the country is abundant, although it cost a lot to build a Ming Hall, it will not put too much pressure on the construction of the national treasury. And I agreed. This is an investment to increase domestic demand.

Of course. It is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to make a Ming Hall more than 80 meters high like Wu Zetian, and the imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty is relatively narrow, and there is no place to make such a magnificent palace;

After the skilled craftsmen of the Eight Divisions inspected the plan on the spot, they determined the design of the palace with a width of 155 feet on each side and a height of 108 feet.

The busy scene Yang Yi saw when he entered the left door was the craftsmen starting to build.

Thirteen Niang has not been idle, she collected Yang Yi's fresh ideas about natural science, summarized them by herself, and made many new tools. Many of the simple tools made by the craftsmen now are the work of Thirteen Niang.

Seeing this, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile, well, you have to kiss Thirteen Niang when you go back.

His and Ma Hanqing's expressions were relaxed. Li Xiangxian and Hua Mulan are about to become mothers, which is a happy event for Yang Yi and Ma Hanqing, and the two big men are chatting about it all the way.

"My lord, this is not fair, my family gave birth to a daughter, so I have to be a child daughter-in-law for your family, and your family gave birth to a daughter, but I don't want to be a child daughter-in-law for my family, it doesn't make sense."

"That's the truth, my fairy likes sweets. The probability of having a daughter is relatively large, your Mulan likes to eat sour food, and the probability of having a son is greater, since your Mulan has a high chance of giving birth to a son, and the probability of my fairy giving birth to a son is relatively small, and let my family accept the same conditions as your family, is that unfair? ”

Ma Hanqing was dizzy by him, and at first glance it seemed to be the truth, and he almost agreed.

But if you think about it, it's still not right, if I accept your conditions. No matter what the odds of my Mulan's giving birth to a boy or a girl are, it will be a loss. If I have a boy in my family, I can't use your daughter as a child daughter-in-law, and if I give birth to a daughter, I have to send your family to be a child daughter-in-law.

Oh, my God. It's all a loss, I don't give birth to me.

Two big men chatting about family matters. Walking through the Jinshui River, Yang Yi entered the East Mansion, and Ma Qing went to the West Mansion.

As a result, Yang Yi had just chatted with He Bonian, the governor of the Audit Department, in the front yard of Dongfu, when Ma Hanqing hurried over again, and as soon as he saw Yang Yi, he said: "My lord, just received the news from Beijing, Yelu Yanxi ordered to gather 300,000 troops of the Liao State, prepare for the imperial conquest, and threatened to extinguish the Chang Jurisdiction in one fell swoop. ”

"The Imperial Driver?" When Yang Yi heard these four words, he couldn't help frowning, others are okay to say, Yelu Yanxi, a vegetable seller, is playing the royal driving pro-campaign, but I am afraid that he is going to deliver food to Chang Zhidi.

Last time, he did not hesitate to use Yang Zhi and many other important chess pieces to kill the two generals under the jurisdiction of the long jurisdiction, so that the offensive of the Blocking Department eased down, Yelu Yanxi should not be full of confidence because of the victory outside the capital, right?

If this unlucky fool takes the initiative to deliver food this time and is eaten by the governor in one bite, I'm afraid the gods won't be able to save the Liao Kingdom.

Thinking of the "fierce" record of Yelu Yanxi's personal expedition in history, 700,000 defeated by Wanyan Agu and 20,000, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel cold, what kind of god can make such a record.

"Let's go, go to the government hall." Yang Yi said and walked quickly to the political affairs hall first.

Zhang Dian and the others received this news, but they were not as anxious as Yang Yi, without him, after all, the current history Yelu Yanxi has not achieved such an "impressive" record, and Zhang Dian They don't know how high this ability is.

They thought that Yelu Yanxi's personal expedition might greatly boost the morale of the Liao army, but they were worried about the long jurisdiction, because the stalemate between the Liao State and the Divination Department was the most in line with the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, and once the Divination Department was defeated, it would be very unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Yi didn't know how to explain it for a while, after all, the current history of Yelu Yanxi did not lose 700,000 to 20,000;

He had to say to Zhang Dian and others: "Ladies and gentlemen, please think, Yelu Yanxi has just ascended the throne not long ago, Weide has not been established, and there are many factions within the Liao State, and they are fighting each other, and there has just been a rebellion in Shangjing, at this time, Yelu Yanxi poured the country's troops to drive the expedition in person, which is an extremely stupid thing, once the rear is unstable, the army's heart will collapse, even if there is nothing to do in the rear, Yelu Yanxi has never led the army to fight, rashly leading hundreds of thousands of troops to go out, and the command and dispatch will definitely fail, and the long jurisdiction is a veteran of the battlefield, It is easy to find the flaws of Yelu Yanxi, and at that time, the more soldiers Yelu Yanxi leads, the more he will lose. ”

Shang Shu Youcheng Cai Bian asked, "Scholar Yang is a bit exaggerated, right?" Yelu Yanxi is true that he has no battle formation, but there is no shortage of good generals in Liao, and with their assistance, even if Yelu Yanxi can't defeat Changzhidi, it should not be at least a big defeat. ”

There are many people who hold Cai Bian's point of view, including the privy envoy Xu Jiang and Shangshu's right servant Su Song, who also think that Yang Yi is unfounded.

Yang Yi frowned and said: "When this official went to Liao, he had a detailed understanding of Yelu Yanxi's temperament, this person lacks great talent and strategy, but he is so happy, he is by no means the master, and now he has just ascended the throne not long ago, regardless of internal instability, he decided to drive the expedition in person, which just confirms his character of great joy, he has not established his prestige, and he must be rigid and self-serving when he is in charge, and grasp the command of the army, because only in this way, once he wins, can he quickly improve his prestige, and then he is afraid that Liao has more good generals, and put forward more correct suggestions, Yelu Yanxi may not be able to listen. ”

This time, the deacons of the political hall did not immediately refute Yang Yi, Yang Yi's analysis is indeed very reasonable, and Emperor Taizong's personal expedition to Yanyun is the best example;

Polemic generals, at that time, there were veterans such as Fan Mei and Cao Bin who followed Taizong to conquer in person, and these veterans all fought with Taizu and destroyed the country of people, what was the result?

Emperor Taizong had just ascended the throne at that time, and in order to establish his own prestige, he did not listen to the persuasion of veterans such as Fan Mei and Cao Bin, and after destroying the Northern Han Dynasty, he went on an expedition to Youyan with a tired army, and firmly grasped the command of the army;

In the end, it led to the defeat of the Gaoliang River, and the army that looked down on the world when the Great Song Dynasty opened the country was almost broken.

Now the situation of Yelu Yanxi is quite similar to that of Song Taizong. After Yang Yi's reminder, everyone hesitated in their hearts when they thought of this.

Zhang Dian asked in a deep voice: "What does Master Yang think is the probability of Yelu Yanxi's defeat?" ”

"Eighty percent."

Yang Yi did not hesitate to answer his judgment, among the people present, he had experienced the most in the polemic array, and he also knew the most about Chang Zhidi and Yelu Yanxi, and he gave such a judgment, and the ruling of the political hall could not ignore it.

Zhang Shangying, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Is it possible to let the secretary of the Ministry of Rites come forward to stop Yelu Yanxi's personal expedition?" ”

Hearing this question, Yang Yigang wanted to shake his head, but Ma Hanqing had already come out and said: "And report to all the ministers, according to the news from the staff hall, after Ye Luchun won the battle of Shangjing, Lord Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will soon leave for China, and I am afraid that the itinerary has now arrived in Youzhou." ”

In fact, even if Yang Wei did not leave Shangjing, it was unlikely that he would be able to prevent Yelu Yanxi from driving his own expedition, how could he allow a foreign minister to intervene in such a matter of great importance?

Yelu Yanxi's pro-campaign once again disrupted the steps of the Great Song Dynasty, and after urgent discussions in the political affairs hall, he finally had to speed up the pace of preparing for Yanyun.

In the original history, after the fall of Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom, the two southwestern capitals supported for about a year, and I hope that this time it can be like this, and then the Great Song Dynasty will be much calmer.

The matter on the Liao side was discussed, and another 800-mile urgent report arrived at the political affairs hall, which was a report from Shazhou Seed Construction Center.

It's really a wave of unsettled, and a wave of rises!

The eldest disciple of the Maoshan faction, Xuan Yichang, was persecuted by Salwa, the lord of Youchang City, and was fortunately rescued from the river by the yellow-headed Uighur herdsmen.

This kind of request is just a formality, because the road is far away, and the imperial court has given Chong Jianzhong the right to make decisions on the spot early on, that is to say, at the same time as his report was submitted, he had already mobilized four troops as the deputy envoy of Shazhou Jiedu.

What the imperial court can grasp now is not whether to fight or not, but only to let the kind of Jianzhong fight to a certain extent, and at the same time issue a reason for war to the outside world.

When things on both sides come together, it can't help but make people a little big.

Zhang Dian believes that since the mobilization of the four troops has begun, it is impossible to prevent the war in the middle of the war, otherwise wouldn't the four people think that the Great Song Dynasty has reversed itself and is like child's play?

But the war can't be fought too much, limited to Yochang City, just ask Salva to blame, once the war expands indefinitely, the energy of the Great Song Dynasty will be scattered to the Western Regions, and then I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of everything.

Yang Yi and the others did not object, so they asked the staff pavilion to send an order with flying pigeons, and ordered Jianzhong to control the scale of the war.

But Yang Yi always had a doubt in his heart, once the war started, this scale was not easy to control!

Sometimes you don't want to fight, and others are still not convinced.
