The day before the opening, Liang Chuan returned to Ding Mansion with some gifts to pay homage to Ding Wei.
Later in the year, Ding Wei, together with several chief officials of Si Tianjian, including Judge Tidian, Guan Gou of Si Tianjian, and several officials from the Ministry of Industry, discussed the location of the imperial mausoleum.
The person in charge is Ding Wei, the supervisor of the mausoleum construction. Two groups of people, Si Tianjian, are in charge of Feng Shui Kanyu, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction of fortifications. Each has its own division of labor.
The two groups were divided into two groups when it came to site selection. The group from the Ministry of Industry advocated choosing Xiaoyi Fort, while the group from Si Tianjian advocated choosing Yong'an between the northern foot of Taishi Mountain and Luohe River.
The objection raised by the Ministry of Industry is that there are many houses in Yong'an County, with tens of thousands of households, and it is cost-effective to relocate local residents with their families. At present, eight palaces have just been repaired, and the national treasury and internal storage are already stretched thin and cannot afford any more. undertake such a huge project.
Several officials in charge of Si Tianjian didn't understand how the Ministry of Works calculated the expenses. They just took the Feng Shui compass and went to the Xiaoyi Fort Walkway.
Several chief judges determined that the land obtained by Gou had good Feng Shui luck and could be used as a mausoleum. But something unexpected happened when a few officials had completed their Feng Shui practice and were eating at a local noodle stall. The stall owner looked stern when he saw these dignified people, fearing they were tomb robbers or something like that. I chatted with them for a few words, and the conversation led to the fact that the original name of Xiaoyi Fort was not Xiaoyi Fort but Heeryuan. .
The head of Si Tianjian frowned and said to several colleagues: "He'eryuan... Heeryuan... This is not a good sign!"
Feng shui can be considered as important as choosing a mausoleum for the emperor's family. It is not a trivial matter. The slightest mistake will be a serious matter. Moreover, Taoism pays attention to perfection. With such a flaw, several Si Tianjian officials were not very willing to deal with it. The mausoleum was chosen in Xiaoyi Fort.
Whether something is auspicious or unlucky can often be seen from its name.
This is the reason why the ancients knew the good or bad luck of their journey just from their names when they met some special people before they left the army.
After they returned to Bianjing, they told Ding Wei their conclusions. After comprehensive consideration, Ding Wei realized that he did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so he reported the two conclusions to the officials and the Queen Mother, allowing them to make their own decisions.
Zhao Zhen has been worried about three things recently. One is the ambition of the Queen Mother, the other is the rebellion caused by the Western bandits, and the third is the countless refugees outside the city.
I heard that my heart felt a little better after the refugee wave dissipated. Looking at the weather, I was also anxiously hoping that the temperature would warm up quickly so that the people would suffer less.
After the Queen Mother put on the dragon robe for a time, there was no more movement, as if both of them had stopped.
Liu E just had fun wearing a dragon robe. When she became the Empress Wu, someone in the court encouraged her, but she didn't have Wu Zetian's courage!
Zhao Zhen was a little unhappy when he saw Ding Wei.
Zhao Zhen could still remember this old guy's inaction, non-cooperation and passive cooperation with the Queen Mother, and he really regretted leaving his mausoleum to him.
This is the top priority behind me. I'm just afraid that this kid might do something in it. That would be a major event that affects the fate of the country.
"Your Majesty, this is the plan decided by the Ministry of Industry and Si Tianjian on the location of the mausoleum. Please make your decision!" Ding Wei handed over the memorial.
"Can't Ding Aiqing be so capable and unable to make a decision?" Zhao Zhen glanced at two places in the memorial. He didn't know what was wrong here. He glanced at Ding Wei, who had his head lowered, with a slight anger in his tone. meaning.
"It is related to the foundation of the Song Dynasty. With a heavy responsibility on our shoulders, I dare not make rash decisions. All decisions must be made by His Majesty."
"Then tell me what makes it difficult to choose between these two places."
Ding Wei then told Zhao Zhen exactly what was considered at stake by the Ministry of Industry and Si Tianjian.
"What do you mean by Ding Wei?"
"I think Yong'an Town is the best."
Zhao Zhen's suspicious eyes wandered over Ding Wei. Ding Wei had a reputation for corruption. Now it turned out that it was indeed the case. He wanted to make a fortune by selecting the site for Lianlian's mausoleum. Yong'an was crowded with people and resources. Asking tens of thousands of residents to relocate their families is like driving sheep out of the pen, or should we let them plunder?
He said that the original name of Xiaoyi Fort and Er's original name were unlucky, but hadn't it been renamed Xiaoyi Fort? The Song Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness. Isn't this in line with the purpose of the Song Dynasty? Why is the name so unlucky?
There is clearly an ulterior secret in this!
"Yong'an Town is certainly good, but if Dingling Yong'an is going to dislocate the people, in my opinion Dingling Xiaoyi Fort should be the best."
Ding said that he was using this man's false reputation to fool himself, but in fact he wanted to line his own pockets. If he followed his wishes, wouldn't he be acting as an aide? Seeing this, Zhao Zhen went against the grain and chose Xiaoyi Fort as the location of the mausoleum.
Ding Wei did not express any further opinions, but his many years of experience told him that there would be a lot of articles to come on this matter, and he could only take one step at a time. He said lightly that he had accepted the order and then returned home.
When Ding Wei returned to the mansion, Liang Chuan waited at the door of the study for a long time with a smile on his face.
Liang Chuan accidentally ran into the Ding Mansion. After getting rid of Cai Clan, no one in the Ding Mansion dared to make irresponsible remarks. However, Liang Chuan, who had reached this point, also knew the current situation and weakened his influence in the Ding Mansion. Influence, try not to come if you can. Otherwise, if you know so many secrets of Ding Wei, if one day Ding Wei puts on small shoes and gets rid of you.
Ding said that just because he doesn't go out on the street doesn't mean he knows nothing about the outside world. The commotion on Bianhe Street was known throughout the city, and everyone thought it was his new business. However, he saw that such a big commotion in Liangchuan was definitely not something he dared to do alone. In addition to the support of the Queen Mother behind him, No one else would dare to mess around like this.
"The store will open tomorrow. After a few days of building momentum, I still feel that it is not satisfactory. After much thought, I decided to ask Master Ding to show his face. The value of my store will definitely double!"
Ding Wei said: "We Song Dynasty officials are not allowed to enter the wine shop. Are you making things difficult for me?"
Liang Chuan thought in his heart: You used to work harder than anyone else to enter Fan Tower. How could I make things so difficult for you if I go there another day?
"No, no, no, the inn is not a restaurant. There are opera troupes performing in it. I will invite officials from all over the capital to come and enjoy the show together. I performed a song called The Legend of the White Snake. Your Excellency, you have been busy with state affairs recently, so you can relax and relax. !”
"The Legend of White Snake?"
"This is a very famous song in our hometown. The story is heartwarming and popular. Adults may wish to go and taste it. The shop has all the food and drinks. It is also a good place to relax physically and mentally. It is not just a place. Restaurant!”
"Sanlang, you are well-known in the Beijing and Chinese literary circles for your outstanding literary talent. I believe that the operas in your hometown are also unique and fascinating. I have been busy with official duties recently, which has made me exhausted physically and mentally. It's just that the Western thief Li Shi has caused trouble in the border area recently. You invited me in such a big way. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to have hundreds of officials in the court?”
"It's no big deal that Mrs. Li is just a clown. I think everyone in the court is more worried about the Queen Mother than the person named Li. Is it possible that the country will be destroyed after just listening to a show?"
Ding Wei smiled and said nothing. Liang Chuan's words sounded treasonous, but I really didn't expect such words to come out of his mouth. If he was not related to Queen Mother Liu, how dare he say such nonsense? What young people want is this kind of heroism, but today's young people are too feminine, and there are few young people like him anymore.
"Okay, tomorrow I'll ask a colleague to go with you to reveal the truth. You can invite a few officials from the court. Whether they come or not depends entirely on their own wishes. I can't force you."
After Liang Chuan received Ding Wei's request, he immediately returned to Zhuangzi and distributed the names he had prepared one by one. The names listed above were all officials of the court, or celebrities in the society and people with distinguished honors. Even worse are the top wealthy businessmen in Bianjing City, such as Xu Yin, Wang Lin, Pan Yu and others, and none of them are ordinary people.
This large group of people will be Liang Chuan's service targets from now on. Of course, ordinary people also need to earn money. There are also many ordinary people who like entertainment and enjoyment, and they also have a lot of savings on hand.
Ordinary people might occasionally attend a concert or something, but it's not an excessive or extravagant waste.
Liang Chuan inadvertently spread the news that Ding Wei would attend the opening ceremony of his Forbidden City, and many people in the court could not sit still for a while.
Many people are political opportunists, and their purpose is simply to go after Ding Wei. A person who can flatter others will certainly not be able to refuse flattery from others.
There is also a group of people who are really curious about what new things are in Liang Chuan's building.
Liang Chuan clearly wrote in his Mingla that the Forbidden City is not a restaurant. Of course there are restaurants here. Which department does not have a kitchen in it? It is very consistent with the national conditions for people to have a place to eat when they are hungry.
Liang Chuan's series of fresh actions made everyone crane their necks to know how many new things they had never seen before in this building. This building is so grand, since it was Liang Chuan who invited him here, and the prime minister of the Song Dynasty took the lead in taking the tour. This floor, if the censors of Jianyuan wanted to sue, they would first sue Ding Wei. It was not their turn to be small characters like them, and nothing could stop their curiosity.
It stands to reason that people with some status would look down upon Liang Chuan's identity as a subordinate and rashly give names to the court officials. However, there is Ding Wei's shadow behind Liang Chuan. Everyone was afraid of Ding Wei's methods. They didn't know if it was Master Ding's instruction behind it. If they offended this traitor, the consequences would not be pleasant.
Liang Chuan's song "Linjiang Xian" at Lu Yijian's farewell banquet that day was a hit. Everyone was shocked by this rising star of literature, which also gave Liang Chuan the qualification to invite them.
It's a pity that such a person is willing to be a watchdog under Ding Wei. .
The so-called arrogant literati, Liang Chuan's body exudes a pungent odor of copper, but his talent is true, it is said that there are two poems that shocked the ancient and modern times, which can make them proud of the contemporary Song Dynasty literary world, but I don't know what he did What kind of medicine is sold in the Forbidden City gourd?
