In a new location and a new job, everyone needs time to get started, and the connection between the yamen has to be run-in.

The place where the three provinces gathered, Yuanfeng was called the political affairs hall before, and Yuanfeng was renamed the capital hall after Yuanfeng.

Now, Zhu Guoxiang has changed its name to the "Council Hall", which is the place where he convenes important ministers for meetings.

Not far from the side is the Tongzheng Yuan (formerly the Yintai Division Yamen), several palaces in the Yintai Gate, all assigned to the Tongzheng Yuan as offices.

The Yamen of Zhongshu Province was originally nearby, but it was demolished by Song Huizong and the Jianming Hall, and the new office building was moved directly out of the imperial city, so that there is no suitable place for the cabinet now. Zhu Guoxiang waved his hand and assigned all the halls to the north of the Secret Pavilion to the cabinet for office.

It's a pity that many treasures in the secret pavilion were taken away when Song Huizong fled, such as the authentic works of Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Liu Gongquan, Yan Zhenqing, Huaisu and others.

Inside the Council Hall.

Zhu Guoxiang sat in the main seat, and Zhu Ming sat in the second seat.

Among the five cabinet ministers, only Master Dao was not in Tokyo, Zhang Gen, Gao Jingshan, Li Bangyan, and Zhai Ruwen were all present.

This kind of high-level meeting, you don't need to kneel, you don't even have to stand, you come in and have a seat there.

Meng Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has a tricky matter that needs to be discussed with everyone: "The generalissimo said that only three temples are allowed to be retained if the Tokyo temple is abolished, but four Buddhist temples are difficult to demolish. These Buddhist temples are hundreds of years old, there are high monks and Buddha treasures sitting in the town, if you use strong fear to provoke public opinion. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Guoxiang and the ministers to speak, Zhu Ming said impatiently: "What's the trouble? Outside the Xuande Building is full of temples, which must be mostly demolished. Taiping Xingguo Temple is named after Zhao Guangyi's year, I really don't like it very much, so I demolished Taiping Xingguo Temple. Buddha treasures and high monks, transferred to the Great Xiangguo Temple! ”

Meng Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes." ”

These large temples in Tokyo are not only places for worshipping Buddha and entertainment, but also hosting royal ceremonies, banquets for ministers, reception of foreign guests, and accommodation services for those who are rushing to take the exam.

When many Wenchen rushed to take the exam, they had borrowed it from Taiping Xingguo Temple, and the forced demolition of this place was 100% necessary for public opinion to be surging.

Zhai Ruwen suggested: "In fact, the Buddha hall, monk's house, and pagoda do not need to be demolished, after all, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build it. If the marshal wants to suppress the Buddha, he only needs to reduce the size of the monks. ”

"Must be demolished!"

Zhu Ming insisted on going his own way: "The monk's house area can be kept and sold to merchants as inn restaurants." The Buddha hall was completely demolished, and the temple was also demolished, and it was rebuilt into an official residence, which was connected with the eight! ”

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, even if he was a prime minister, he had to rent a house by himself.

For example, Ouyang Xiu rented a dilapidated hut, which leaked more than once it rained.

Later, Song Shenzong built a number of official residences for eight top important ministers to live in, and these official residences were collectively referred to as the "Eight Officials".

The Yuanmiao, that is, the Zoroastrian temple, is located between the eight official residences and the Taiping Xingguo Temple, and even Shangshu Province and Kaifeng Mansion Yamen are sandwiched between them.

Demolishing the Taiping Xingguo Temple and the Yuanmiao Temple, it can be connected with the eight official residences to form an official residence area, and Shangshu Province and Kaifeng Mansion are no longer surrounded by temples.

From now on, important ministers of the six Shangshu and above must live in the official residence with their whole family, and are not allowed to live elsewhere in the city, so as not to find no one at a critical time, and to avoid the leakage of important documents. (Song Huizong frantically gave mansions, Cai Jing, Wang Hao and others did not live in the official residence, and directly handled state affairs in the private residence.) ）

Shangshu Province was abolished, and it was to be converted into a six-branch yamen, which would be responsible for bridging the work of the cabinet and the six ministries.

The Qisheng Courtyard next to it still had to be demolished, and the portrait of Zhao Guangyi and the statue of the Immortal Buddha inside were cleared. The demolished vacant land was merged with the Yamen of the Front Division of the Palace, and was used as the headquarters of the Forbidden Army and the Five Cities Terracotta Division in the future.

Although the capital must be moved, these official residences are not built in vain, and they will be sold to the wealthy in Kaifeng in the future.

Zhu Ming said: "Zhaoming Temple must also be demolished, it is next door to the Great Xiangguo Temple, one is enough, what do the two do next to each other?" Zhaoming Temple is very prosperous there, and it is sold to rich families as shops! ”

"Yes," Meng Zhao only had the part to comply, and asked again, "This thing Jingling Palace, should the ancestral spiritual positions of the Xianggong and the Marshal be put in?" ”

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Just move out the tablets of the emperors of the old Song Dynasty, and don't put the ancestors of the Zhu family in it for the time being." ”

Zhu Ming also said: "The Zhu family can't afford to lose that person!" ”

Song Zhenzong not only sealed Mount Tai, but also engaged in a lot of similar incidents.

One of the important projects is to build a Jingling Palace in Kaifeng and Qufu respectively, which is specially used to worship Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.

The Jingling Palace on the other side of Qufu was built, and the county seat was directly moved, and the people of the whole city moved next to the Yellow Emperor.

And the Jingling Palace of Kaifeng, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and under the continuous expansion, it has been divided into the East Jingling Palace and the West Jingling Palace. Song Huizong likes to build a lot of buildings, so naturally he will not forget here, and expanded the two Jingling Palaces again and merged them into one.

The spiritual seat of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty was actually enshrined together with the spiritual seat of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in Jingling Palace!

I don't know where they got their big faces?

Zhu Ming added: "Most of the Jingling Palace was demolished, and only the one originally built to worship the Yellow Emperor remained. The demolished areas were converted into shops for sale. ”

The demolition of temples and the rebuilding of houses and shops is not only to suppress religion, but also to temporarily relieve the pressure on employment.

Zhu Ming is not short of money now, and there are still some notorious civil officials who have not raided their homes.

Those unemployed people in the city can be brought to move bricks at the construction site, so that they can make ends meet at this stage. When a real estate project is completed, you can make another profit, recoup your initial investment, and make Tokyo's business more prosperous.

Even if the capital is moved in the future, Kaifeng will definitely not decline.

Because all kinds of materials from Liangjiang, Liangzhejiang and Lianghuai will be transported to Kaifeng through the canal first, and then transferred to Luoyang. As a water transport hub, Kaifeng will become a purely commercial city.

Meng Zhao said again: "The old Song Taimiao has been sealed by troops for a long time, and it is time to change the owner there." ”

Zhu Guoxiang and Zhu Ming's father and son glanced at each other, this ancestral sequence is not easy to make up.

When they crossed, the old man was still alive, could it be difficult to put the old man's tablet in it?

Zhu Guoxiang said: "This matter will be discussed again. ”

Meng Zhao has another question: "Will the imperial examination be resumed next year?" If it is restored, Kaichun should appoint and dismiss the local school officials, and let them preside over the examination in the autumn so that the first batch of people for the new dynasty can be selected. ”

"I'll talk about it after the beginning of spring." Zhu Guoxiang has a lot of things in his hands, how can he take care of the imperial examination at this time?

Li Bangyan never spoke, he was observing the Zhu father and son, trying to figure out what the situation was.

Until the meeting ended, Li Bangyan silently retreated, and basically understood: the Zhu father and son did not like religion, and they were not even keen on sacrifices and auspiciousness, and they were completely two extremes from the emperors of the Song Dynasty.

Since you don't like the void, how can you please these two in the future?

Li Bangyan is really entangled and uncomfortable in his heart, because he can only play falsely, and now he is obviously not professional.

After leaving the palace, Li Bangyan sent someone to invite Qin Hui.

"It's a matter of course to share your worries." Qin Hui said modestly.

Qin Hui was still managing the Xicheng Office, clearing all kinds of manor land, and cooperating with the local government to settle the people for farming.

Around the city of Tokyo, tens of thousands of acres of land have been cleared out by Qin Hui.

Maybe it's too close to the imperial city, and Qin Hui doesn't dare to be greedy for half a penny. The officials arranged by Li Bangyan did not dare to stretch out their hands for the time being. At present, there is no loophole to be found, but the efficiency is extremely amazing.

Li Bangyan probably said something about today's meeting: "Let's talk about it, how to assist the king in the future?" ”

Qin Hui thought seriously and said: "What Jinglu and the marshal want, we will do as courtiers." The things of Buddhism and Taoism must never be touched again. Sheng's words are auspicious, and try not to give them again. ”

"But what can I do?" Li Bangyan asked.

Qin Hui said: "The marshal often said that the people are the foundation of the state, and there is a theory of Taoism. And this road is extraordinary, there are not only avenues, but also many trails. The Confucians advocate the avenue and don't care about the trail, why doesn't Li Xiang start from the trail alone? ”

"Trail?" Li Bangyan didn't understand.

Qin Hui explained: "Medicine, arithmetic, industry, agriculture! Secretly looking for those who are good at these four things, and dedicating them to the strategy and the marshal, will surely obtain miraculous results. ”

Li Bangyan couldn't help but bow: "It makes sense." ”

Qin Hui also said: "It is recommended to reopen the medical school and the school of arithmetic in Tokyo, and then establish an engineering school and an agricultural school, which must be in line with the strategy and the marshal's wishes." ”

Li Bangyan was overjoyed: "I really didn't see the wrong person, and I will have great talents!" ”

Qin Hui continued: "There are many similarities between Hu Anguo's knowledge and the marshal's knowledge. However, there are also a lot of different words, Li Xiangke discussed with Hu Anguo, and let him follow the marshal's prosperity and use it! This is the avenue of the new dynasty, and if this can be done, the marshal should regard Li Xiang as a humerus. ”

Li Bangyan clapped his hands and praised: "There will be the talent of the prime minister, and he will be the first assistant in the future!" ”

The two said some details again, and Li Bangyan personally sent Qin Hui out of the door.

Returning to the study alone, the more Li Bangyan thought about it, the more excited he became, he had found a way to fix his pet in the future.

Zhu Ming's Taoist learning integrates Xinxue and Luoxue, so neither Ercheng nor Wang Anshi can criticize. But you must set a target in order to show your usefulness, and Li Bangyan's target is, of course, Cai Jing.

He decided to write two articles, one criticizing Cai Jing for misunderstanding Wang Anshi's Xinxue, and the other expounding on the commonalities between Luoxue and Xinxue, so as to pioneer Zhu Ming's Dao Xue.

Li Bangyan is very good at writing scripts, but he is choked enough to write this kind of article, and he must ask the great Confucian Hu Anguo to catch the pen!

(Thank you for the reward from the alliance leader of the night 0522, I'm sorry, I'm not in a good state for the past two days, and I feel sleepy and want to sleep as soon as I sit in front of the computer.) ）
