0161【Shipbuilding and Seeking Immortals】
He Su, the champion of the new department, works in the secretary province every day and works diligently for the emperor.
This morning, He Su came to work in the imperial city as usual, but at the door of the office building of the secretary province, he saw Song Huizong's imperial chariot.
He Su was very happy, felt that the emperor was diligent in his administration, and quickly stepped forward to pay a visit.
Before he could get closer, he was stopped by the eunuch.
But I heard a Taoist priest pointing to the secretary province and saying: "The feng shui here is excellent, and it can be built as a Ming Hall." ”
Song Huizong smiled and bowed: "I also have this intention." ”
After saying that, the emperor rode away in the imperial chariot and climbed to a nearby pavilion to overlook the panoramic view.
He was to design the Ming Hall himself, including the surrounding gardens.
Huizong of the Song Dynasty had a very high artistic attainment, and he looked down on the palaces of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, thinking that the gold-pasted emerald was too nouveau riche. He liked to be elegant, austere, and concise, and even let the palace pillars be painted with only one layer of varnish.
He Su watched the emperor leave in a daze, repeatedly confirming whether there was something wrong with his ears.
The secretary province is going to be forcibly demolished?
This is one of the highest authorities of the central government!
He Su hurriedly ran to the office to report the situation to his boss.
The boss was also stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly, asking He Su not to talk too much.
Today's imperial city has long been turned into a large construction site.
Some time ago, the place where Zhu Ming took the hall test was being renovated at this time. The emperor felt that the Jiying Hall was too luxurious, and it should be elegant and simple, and when the decoration was over, the Jiying Hall should be renamed the Youwen Palace.
In the northeast of the imperial city, in order to build Banzai Mountain (Genyue), a large number of residential houses outside the city are being mobilized for demolition.
In the imperial city, the Shangqing Baozhen Palace has just been completed, and the construction of the Baozhen Palace and the palace used to store the nine tripods have begun.
And the office of the secretary province is about to be demolished Jianming Hall.
The Ming Hall was originally built by the Duke of Zhou and was the place where the princes of the Zhou Tianzi Dynasty met.
Wang Mang built the Ming Hall, and Wu Zetian also built the Ming Hall to show that he was ordered by the sky.
Song Huizong looked through a large number of ancient books and thought that Wang Mang and Wu Zetian were not built correctly, and he wanted to restore the ancient system of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and repair the Ming Hall of the Great Song Dynasty to the most ancient ceremony.
After going around the construction sites everywhere, Song Huizong kept putting forward his opinions, feeling that the level of those generals was too low.
He couldn't help but think of his friend Li Jie, if Li Jie was still alive, he would be able to make it clear in a few words, how could he bother so much?
Li Jie is versatile, calligraphy, painting, music, architecture, and has written professional books such as "Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Book of Horses", and "Ancient Seal Sayings".
Song Huizong's knowledge of civil engineering was learned from Li Jie's "Construction of the French Style".
Even if Song Huizong is not an emperor, he can be an excellent architect.
"Official, Xue Zhenren asks to see you."
"Let him go to the Spring Pavilion and wait."
Yanchun Pavilion is in the expanded Yanfu Palace, since the expansion of Yanfu Palace, Song Huizong has lived in it for most of the time.
The real palace is not very frequent.
To be precise, Yanfu Palace belongs to the Imperial Palace, but it is only separated from the Imperial City by an alley.
There are also not many houses that have been forcibly demolished, mainly workshops, shops, temples and military camps.
Well, don't blame Gao Yu and Liu Zhengfu for demolishing the barracks to build a house, the emperor himself is taking the lead in demolishing the barracks.
Yanfu Palace is divided into five building complexes, which were built by five superintendents such as Tong Guan and Yang Jian.
compete with each other, just to please the emperor.
Now that the sixth building complex is planned, the land in the inner city is no longer enough, and it is planned to demolish the residential buildings in the outer city and expand.
Xue Daoguang was followed by two Daotongs, who were holding the manuscript in their hands.
The eunuch respected him a lot, and while waiting for the emperor, he took the opportunity to ask Xue Daoguang for Taoist advice.
Xue Daoguang didn't hide it, and asked those eunuchs to come over and teach them the serious Taoist breathing and breathing technique.
After a moment of preaching, a eunuch suddenly came: "Please move the real person." ”
However, Song Huizong temporarily changed his mind and wanted to eat while swimming in the lake.
The lake was also dug by hand, and its source was more than a dozen springs.
Xue Daoguang walked quickly to the lake, the emperor was already sitting in the pavilion, and he bowed and said, "Holy Gong Wanfu!" ”
Song Huizong smiled and said, "Real people and feast with me." ”
The ship is quite large, with two decks, and it is directly for craftsmen to build and launch on the lake's edge.
Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids hurried with food boxes to bring food and wine to the ship.
Liu Wanrong, who had just come out of confinement, was also called to accompany her.
Wanrong belongs to the title, although she is not a concubine, but she is the most favored beauty of Song Huizong at present.
To what extent is this beauty favored?
They are all still alive, and they were named Jiuhua Yuzhen Concubine by Song Huizong, and the statue is placed next to Emperor Jiuchen of Shenxiao.
After his death, he made an exception and was posthumously crowned queen. At that time, all concubines had to cry, and because Cui Guifei didn't cry, Song Huizong suspected that she was using witchcraft to harm people, so he directly demoted Cui Guifei to a concubine.
"Blessed is Saint!"
Liu Wanrong first saluted the emperor, then bent down and said, "Xue Zhenren is blessed." ”
Xue Daoguang calmly returned the courtesy.
Song Huizong stood on the deck, looking at the scenery in the lake, but he was thinking about music in his head.
The Ming Hall, which is about to be built, is of great political significance.
He planned to give Mingtang twelve pieces of music, which were specially used for banquets and sacrifices, and these pieces were to be composed by himself.
"Official, eat the bar first." Liu Wanrong said.
Song Huizong smiled: "Okay, eat wine." ”
The three of them sat down to feast and drink, and Liu Wanrong personally stroked the piano to help the fun.
After drinking a few cups, Song Huizong asked, "The real person is not cultivating in Nanyuan, how can he have time to come to see me today?" ”
Xue Daoguang said truthfully: "Tanhualang asked the poor Dao to contribute the manuscript. ”
Song Huizong had some expectations: "It's like "Journey to the West" again? ”
Xue Daoguang beckoned, and the two Taoist boys came over with the manuscript: "It's not, but it's quite novel." ”
Song Huizong put down his chopsticks and opened the manuscript to look.
This faint gentleman looked quite seriously, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning. Gradually losing patience, he quickly glanced at the back.
"How can there be agriculture?" Song Huizong asked.
Xue Daoguang said: "Agronomy was written by Zhu Guoxiang. ”
Song Huizong was not interested in this, and continued to flip back until he reached the method of artificial pollination and grafting, and finally stopped to read carefully.
Song Huizong also knew how to graft, mainly used to grow flowers.
Zhu Guoxiang gave a detailed introduction to various precautions for grafting, which undoubtedly aroused the interest of Song Huizong.
As for artificial pollination, the description of the male and female flowers made Song Huizong feel very novel.
Song Huizong extracted those manuscripts, and he planned to study them for cultivation of plants in the royal garden.
After agronomy, there is mathematics.
Those strange characters, at first glance, Song Huizong thought they were Taoist talismans. Looking at the annotation next to it, I realized that it was numbers and operation symbols.
I was fascinated when I looked at it, this faint gentleman is studying civil engineering and Taoist scriptures and secrets, how can he not have high mathematical attainments?
Not long ago, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty also issued a holy decree to extend medical schools and arithmetic schools to all state capitals in the country. He wanted to establish a medical and arithmetic education system, and also set up a quota for tributes, so that outstanding local medical students and arithmetic students could select a group of students to study in the capital every year.
A medical student, you can help him refine the pill and cultivate the Tao.
Counting students can help him build a large number of buildings.
These two types of students can also change careers to become Taoist priests and further their studies at Taoist schools in Tokyo.
At the same time, Song Huizong also felt from the bottom of his heart that medicine and arithmetic were of great use to the country.
Reading those math contents, Song Huizong forgot to eat, and Liu Wanrong picked up a piece of meat: "Official, eat something." ”
"Hmm." Song Huizong opened his mouth to bite it, and then continued to read the math manuscript.
Until the middle of the afternoon, Song Huizong slapped the table suddenly: "This is really a master!" ”
Song Huizong felt that this kind of mathematics was too convenient, and it could be used to engage in civil engineering, and it was also powerful to study the number of yin and yang, the five elements of the eight trigrams, and the Qimen Dunjia.
Turning back to look at the author of the mathematics article, there are two names clearly written: Zhu Guoxiang and Zhu Ming.
Song Huizong said: "This Zhu family father and son also said that they had not met overseas immortals. If it weren't for the immortals, how could they have obtained this technique? The envoy of the expedition, hasn't he brought Zhu Guoxiang to Bianliang yet? ”
Xue Daoguang didn't say a word, and meditated cross-legged on the stool.
There was too much math content, and Song Huizong couldn't finish it for a while.
He pulled out the relevant manuscript and continued to read the physics content later.
Completely forgot the time and saw it dark in one go.
Song Huizong stood up abruptly and said to the accompanying eunuchs: "Send someone to Yangzhou to urge, and quickly bring Zhu Guoxiang to Bianliang." When Zhu Guoxiang arrives in Beijing, let his father and son go to the palace to meet together! ”
After thinking about it, Song Huizong said again: "Copy these maths and give them to the professors and teachings of the arithmetic school." Let all of them study well, and after three months, I will take the test myself. Those who excel in the assessment will be promoted if they have a Jinshi background, and those who have no background will be given the same Jinshi. All local state schools should pass on this book! ”
Zhu Ming never expected that Song Huizong would actually order the promotion of new mathematics to the whole country.
Xue Daoguang got up and retired, and because it was late, he was left by the emperor in Yanfu Palace for the night.
The attendant eunuch of the Imperial Medicine Institute carefully copied agriculture, mathematics, and physics overnight. The math content is sent to an arithmetic school in Tokyo.
Song Huizong's biological clock is very similar to that of Jiajing Daochang.
They are all typical night owls, often cultivating in the middle of the night, hilarious or working, and sleeping until three o'clock in the day before getting up.
When he woke up the next day, Song Huizong put together the manuscripts of "Journey to the West", agriculture, mathematics, and physics.
Flip through here, look there.
All of them are very magical, and they always make Song Huizong have conjectures, thinking that the Zhu family father and son must have seen immortals.
This idea became more and more certain, and Song Huizong couldn't wait to see Zhu Guoxiang immediately.
Don't ask anything else, just ask about the location of Fairy Island.
He wants to build a fleet and send his most trusted eunuchs and Taoist priests to search for the overseas true immortals that Zhu Guoxiang has encountered.
The immortals must have been at sea, and Qin Shi Huang was too tyrannical back then, so the immortals chose to avoid it. He is benevolent to all the people, has the mandate of heaven, and is dedicated to the Tao, he will definitely be able to move the immortals to appear.
And the father and son of the Zhu family were actually sent by the immortals to get married, but the father and son of the Zhu family still don't know the inside story.
If you meet a true immortal, immortality is just around the corner!
Don't wait stupidly, you have to be ready first.
Song Huizong urgently summoned Yang Jian and instructed: "Ordered Er to be the envoy of the southeast and go to Hangzhou to build twenty sea ships." Those ships should be built tall and strong to withstand the waves, and the sooner they are built, the better! ”
Yang Jian was a little confused and asked, "What does the official family do to build sea ships?" ”
Song Huizong was a little impatient: "Don't ask too much, just do it!" ”
