Chapter 135: Winter in Chang'an (4)
On the streets of Chang'an Beicheng, Zeng Hua's only feeling is that there are crowds
Chang'an South District is a planned new city, and there are not many buildings except for a few landmark buildings such as Chang'an University Hall and the Great Temple. When building the new city in the southern district, Zeng Hua built it in strict accordance with the planning blueprint that had been determined long ago, and finally passed the addiction of the chief designer.
Zeng Hua may have been poisoned by Western historical blockbusters, in which cities such as Rome and Babylon were all magnificent. Zeng Hua also knew in his heart that it was just a computer simulation, but the shock of those buildings was too strong. And Zeng Hua also admires the majestic and beautiful ancient palaces in domestic historical blockbusters. Therefore, Zeng Hua was determined to use a big deal to create a Chang'an that had never been seen in history, so that all the "foreigners" who saw Chang'an would immediately classify themselves as "third world" people, so as to be worthy of the courage of all countries to come to the court.
Therefore, in Zeng Hua's planning blueprint, the completely newly built southern district is the center of gravity. All the buildings there were built around Longshouyuan, and everyone knew in their hearts that Longshouyuan had long been designated as the New Zeng Mansion. However, even if Zeng Hua did not occupy Longshouyuan, no one dared to go there to repair a house, which was the best place for feng shui in the entire Chang'an region.
With Longshouyuan as the center, there are a series of educational buildings such as Chang'an University Hall in the south-west, while a series of religious buildings such as Chang'an Great Temple and Chang'an Theological Seminary are in the north-east, and in the middle, that is, directly south of Longshouyuan are three huge buildings side by side.
The middle building is the largest, and the whole is the lobby building. The foundation of the entire building is three meters above the ground. Face wide 11 rooms, enter 4, there are about 5 wide "jade steps" three levels around the hall outside, there are more than 40 meters long dragon tail road to the steps in front of the hall, not high but very long and wide. The front of the hall is divided into canon, two pavilions of Changwen, there is a corridor between the halls and pavilions, and it is connected into a "concave" shape, and the high pavilion of the main hall is combined on the plane of the "concave" shape. Echo each other. The contour is undulating. The volume is huge. The lobby with only one floor in the middle has a ceiling height of 16 meters, and is equipped with 16 large stone pillars in front of the hall, which looks magnificent, cheerful and brilliant, and is full of spiritual deterrence.
Wang Meng, Che Yin and others described its spirit as being like the sun, standing on it like a Xiaohan.
The main body of the building on the left is made up of four pavilions closely connected to the front and back, and the left and right are slightly higher attics. On the left and right floors of the main building, there is a square high platform. There are smaller buildings on the podium, each with a curved flybridge that communicates with the upper level of the lobby. The whole building is combined with more than a dozen pavilions with staggered heights, and the main building is set off by smaller buildings in the east and west directions, making the overall image more magnificent and rich.
The building on the right is a boxy, symmetrical three-storey terraced building on a cross axis. There is only one room on the upper floor, which is high and wide, and is called the main chapter hall, and the roof of the hall is round. It is the pattern of the earth that the sky is round; The middle floor has four rooms on each side. It is the Ming Room (South), the Xuan Room (North), the Green Room (East), and the Amuro (West) four halls, with a total of four to sixteen rooms; The ground floor is an annex room.
These three buildings have been repaired after two years of construction, and they will be ready for use after the New Year. And the names of these three buildings have long been set by Zeng Hua. The one in the middle is called the Pavilion, the one on the left is called the Pavilion Tower, and the one on the right is called the Zhangtai. But except for a very few people, no one knows what these three buildings are for, which are entirely made of stone.
However, these three magnificent buildings make outsiders always have a feeling of being impressed after seeing them, a feeling of being impressed from the bottom of their hearts, but after being impressed, they will always associate with it.
To the south of Santai, there are three wide avenues on the east and west sides, and the avenues on the south side are even wider than ever, turning into an unprecedented large square, which is in front of Santai. There are three white Han Yuhua watches in the middle, facing the three, making this square less empty than the one that is twice as wide and flat as the Great Temple Square in the northeast.
On the south side of Santai Square is a 36-meter-high stone stele, the base is a granite platform with a radius of 20 meters, and the stele is also towering on all sides, and the top of the stele is in the shape of a ziggurat. The whole stele is made of nine granite stones, and because these nine stones are carefully polished, they look so integrated that there are almost no gaps in the joint. The stele was supposed to have inscriptions, but it was covered with cloth and grass.
There is still a large vacant land in the south of Santai Square, and it is planned to build 12 lanes in the planning blueprint, but it is too late to build it now.
Further south is the already built bazaar and commercial market, which has now begun to gather thousands of merchants, and has gradually become the largest market and business district in the world, and will also be the richest place in the world.
However, this southern district is too big, in Zeng Hua's blueprint it will be a multi-functional area integrating education, administration and economy, and now only a third of it has been built, and there is still a large area of vacant land left there waiting to be built. In addition to government offices, markets, and schools, the gaps will be filled with residential buildings, commercial buildings, and alleys. However, according to the blueprint plan, it will take at least ten years for the southern district to be fully built, and if the old city of the northern district is included, the city wall around the entire Great Chang'an is expected to be hundreds of miles, which has made many people almost stunned.
Since the southern district is a construction site in addition to the school and the market, the living and activity areas of the people are still concentrated in the Han Chang'an area north of Longshouyuan.
Walking on the streets of the North District, looking at the lively shops on the streets, and looking at the people full of joy, Zeng Hua's heart was full of a sense of achievement. However, Zeng Hua also knew in his heart that there was a crisis hidden under this prosperous surface. Zeng Hua hopes that he can bring prosperity to China, but it is not a temporary prosperity.
Han, Tang Chang'an, Song Bianliang, and Ming Jingshi were all prosperous for a while, but in the end they fell into a sea of fire in the sound of horses' hooves. Huaxia does not lack the ability to create brilliance, but it seems to lack the ability to maintain this brilliance, perhaps this superficial brilliance is actually only a prosperous age for a few people.
Zeng Hua feels that he is very fortunate that he seems to have been smooth sailing in the past ten years, and he has used his "prediction" ability to occupy the greatest interests in the trend of history. The western expedition to Yizhou Shuzhong grabbed the first merit, and successfully became the assassin of Liangzhou, which is not looked down upon by others; After the assassination of Shangliangzhou, he unexpectedly captured and subdued Southern Qinzhou and Xiqiang, which others looked down on. Quietly embraced a strength that cannot be underestimated. It is with this strength that he was able to occupy the empty Guanzhong in one fell swoop when the Central Plains was turbulent, and enter Chang'an in front of the Fu family. It was precisely after the four states of Yong, Liang, Qin, and Yi that he began to have the capital to conquer the world and became a "big warlord" who controlled the world.
However, as a "prophet", Zeng Hua knew that his foundation was still very weak, and a little turmoil, such as defeat and disaster
You may be undoing your progress. Hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of expedient means are temporarily gathered together, and everything is easy to say under the situation. If something goes wrong, no one can say anything. Therefore, we must have a sense of distress. It is necessary to establish a complete set of perfect mechanisms. Try to win the hearts of the people and improve cohesion.
Zeng Hua thought about it while walking in the crowd very comfortably with Wang Meng, Che Yin and others, they were all wearing very ordinary clothes, looking like students and professors on vacation in Chang'an Academy, and the hundreds of guards led by Deng Yao and Zhang were also dressed in civilian clothes, near and far. Scattered within a radius of several hundred meters, in the nearby military camp, thousands of guards and escorts were gathered as usual, ready to respond at any time.
Looking at this lively and prosperous scene, Zeng Hua suddenly remembered that when he watched the romance before, the protagonist would encounter injustices as soon as he served his private patrol, and then presided over justice and made decisions for the people. I don't know if I'll encounter this kind of bloody bridge. Or the very old-fashioned joke of heroes saving beauty.
However, I walked this street for most of the time, and I didn't encounter any things that came out to shout injustice or bully men and women. On the contrary, it was the patrol patrolling the streets who paid attention to Zeng Hua and the others who were looking around, and finally decided that it was not a "gang of thieves" who left them.
At this time, I suddenly heard a person running next to me and announcing: "All the cases of the Western Third District have been brought to trial!" ”
Zeng Hua couldn't help but be a little depressed when he heard it, and the day after tomorrow would be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. How can anyone still go to court? Because it is now approaching the end of the year, the prosecutorial department has already submitted the criminal case to the court for handling, and if there are still cases, it must be civil cases filed by the people themselves.
Zeng Hua turned his head and glanced at Wang Meng and the others, and then walked towards the court together.
Chang'an has a Dali Tribunal, which is subordinate to the Jingzhao Dali Division, and has 19 courts, which are divided into various districts in the city, and directly conduct the first case trial.
When you come to the inquisition, it is a large courtyard and belongs to the open plan. Except for some special cases, most cases are allowed to be bystanders, but you have to follow the rules of the court.
I saw that hundreds of people had surrounded a pavilion-like building on three sides, and in the middle of the pavilion sat a magistrate and two deputy magistrates, and in front of them there were two clerks sitting there holding a pen to record. There were three people sitting on either side, the defendant and the plaintiff, and more than a dozen patrolmen were standing in the middle and around to maintain order.
The case is very simple, it is a case of mother-in-law abusing her daughter-in-law. The harsh mother-in-law looks at her daughter-in-law everywhere and does not like it, so she finds excuses and opportunities to beat her daughter-in-law from time to time, but the son is caught in the middle and simply ignores it.
On this day, when preparing for the New Year, the mother-in-law excused her daughter-in-law that her New Year's goods were not ready, grabbed the wooden stick and beat her badly, and drove out the daughter-in-law who was covered in bruises. At this time, the daughter-in-law couldn't bear it, so she went to the court to sue the evil mother-in-law.
The case was very clear, and several neighbors came forward to testify that the daughter-in-law's words were indeed true, and also told about the mother-in-law's usual bad habits. But the mother-in-law who went to court not only did not admit her mistake, but also spoke ill of her daughter-in-law on the spot. And the son, who was standing there, was angry that his wife had made a big fuss, so he clearly sided with his mother.
The facts were clearly stated, witnesses also came up to testify, and the daughter-in-law was also taken to the court room behind the pavilion where the female doctor examined her injuries and made a knot, but the final verdict was unexpected.
The magistrate used Pepsi's filial piety as an excuse to just "gently" reprimand the mother-in-law in court, and then announced the closure of the case.
Seeing this result, not only the people were talking, but even Zeng Hua and others were also angry.
Back in the house, everyone was still talking. Although everyone thinks that filial piety is indeed important, but they can't use this as an excuse to abuse, everyone thinks that the magistrate is too evasive, especially led by Wang Meng and others, who feel that this magistrate has gone too far and violates the laws of Beifu.
Hearing everyone's almost unanimous opinion, Zhang couldn't help but shout: "General, you give an order, I will immediately go to the inquisition office to beat this bird magistrate violently, and then change his closing judgment!" ”
Zeng Hua couldn't help glaring at Zhang, causing the high-spirited commander of the Su Guard to immediately shut his mouth.
"Ying Yuan, you go and invite Liu Nu, the chief of Dali, Jiang Kui, the secretary of the left capital procuratorate, and Mao Anzhi, the secretary of the right capital procuratorate, to come over." Zeng Hua finally said.
"General, why is that?" Even Deng Yao didn't understand what Zeng Hua meant, didn't Zeng Hua solve all this trivial matter when he gave the order, and did he still need to find three adults to come over?
At this time, Wang Meng came out and explained: "Ying Yuan, don't you know what it means to focus on the law? If the magistrate of the Dali Division is now judging on behalf of the law, if the adult feels that something is wrong and asks the magistrate to change the judgment of the case, then what prestige does the magistrate have, and what prestige does the law he represents? ”
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has not only the duty of supervising the impeachment of officials, but also the duty of guardianship and correction of the law. Once the Metropolitan Procuratorate finds that the magistrate has closed the case and made an unfair judgment, it can request a retrial, and if the magistrate of the court insists on the original judgment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate can request the Chang'an Dali Judicial Division to accept the case for retrial. This is not a criminal case, if it is a criminal case, in addition to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if the prosecutorial department feels that the judgment is unfair, it will also file a protest with the Dali Judicial Division. Wang Meng slowly explained, "What is the purpose of the great general's painstaking formulation of these systems? It is necessary to rule the country by system and law to the greatest extent possible, rather than by people. ”
It seems that Wang Meng has not been brainwashed by Zeng Hua, and he actually said such a set of things.
"Why bother with it? Isn't it all settled by the great general's wisdom? Zhang was still there muttering in a low voice.
"What do you know? How many generals can there be in the world? Can you guarantee that the latecomers are as wise as the generals? Wang Meng rebuked angrily.
Seeing Wang Meng's might, Zhang of the three armies of the Yongguan suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, and hurriedly shrank his head and retreated to the back.
Listening to Wang Meng's words, Zeng Hua couldn't help laughing, and said to Wang Meng: "How many people can be like Mr. Jingluo throughout the ages?" ”
Soon, Zeng Hua told Liu Nu and the other three who were invited to tell the matter, and after listening to it, the three also felt that the closing judgment was improper, and immediately said that they would inform the Andali Magistrate and Jingzhao Ducha to inspect the road to interrogate, and asked for a retrial and supervision in court.
After dealing with this episode, Yonghe ten years finally arrived in a peaceful celebration, and a grand ceremony that shocked the world was about to kick off in everyone's expectations.
