Speculating on problems from the perspective of benefit theory is not suitable at all times. After all, many benefits are hidden in the dark side that cannot be seen.
But what is indisputable is that Kong Gongjian will become the new generation of Yan Shenggong, and it won't be long.
Duke Yansheng's Mansion is preparing to hold a funeral for Kong Ne, and many ministers far away in the capital are also discussing the matter of the tomb, but the owner of this tomb is, er, Zhu Yunwen.
Huang Guan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, wrote a letter, hoping that Zhu Yunwen would determine the specifications of the mausoleum as soon as possible, select a site in advance, and dig a hole.
If in later generations, someone in their twenties was asked to buy a tomb, it would probably lead to physical communication. But for ancient emperors, this is a normal thing. For example, Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages, started to build the mausoleum when he was a teenager. It took more than thirty years to build it, and it was not completed until his death...
Thirty years is long enough, but there are longer ones, such as the Zhaoling Mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty. It started in the 10th year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty and ended in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, which lasted 107 years...
The imperial mausoleum must have pomp and specifications, it must have an underground palace, it must have above-ground buildings, it must have countless gold and silver jewelry, it must also be fire-proof, theft-proof, and villain-proof, and it will last only a few years or decades. , I really can’t figure it out.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum started in the 10th year of Hongwu and ended in the 31st year of Hongwu... it was not over yet. It was still under construction at the time of Zhu Yunwen.
At this time, Huang Guan proposed to let Zhu Yunwen arrange his mausoleum. One consideration was that Lao Zhu's mausoleum has been built for so many years and it should be completed in another year and a half. Look, the manpower is ready and experienced. , do you want to prepare to build the tomb in advance, and save the need to call in migrant workers a second time?
Zhu Yunwen thought for a long time, rejected Huang Guan's suggestion, and gave instructions with the word "slow", which means don't be anxious, take your time.
There are many considerations for not building a mausoleum now. I am so young and in my early twenties. As long as I don't indulge in wine and sex, don't take golden elixirs to cultivate immortality, and insist on running and practicing Tai Chi every day, it won't be a problem to live into my fifties or sixties.
The most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty's treasury is really running out of money. Various projects require food and money. The Ministry of Household Affairs really can't come up with more money to build the tomb.
But having said that, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all had their own personalities, but their emphasis on imperial mausoleums was really very different from those of different eras. There was no Qin Shihuang Mausoleum-level existence, nor Zhaoling-level existence. Although they left The Ming Tombs collected entrance fees for future generations, but many of the tombs were not built by the emperor himself during his reign.
For example, Zhu Di's fat son Zhu Gaochi and the famous Ming Renzong had their Ming Xian Mausoleum built by his son Zhu Zhanji after his death.
As for the reason...
Well, Emperor Zhu Gaochi's life was too short. He only served as emperor for ten months. There was really no time to prepare for this. Your Excellency Renzong, I have to wrong you to stay in the world for a few more months.
Before Zhu Gaochi died, he said that everything in the mausoleum should be kept simple. Zhu Zhanji was very obedient and implemented it thoroughly. Construction started on one day and stopped on the other. Calculating the construction period, it took less than three months...
It can be said that the Xianling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty is the simplest one among the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty. It is small and fast. Compared with Zhu Di's Changling Tomb, it is simply incomparable.
Some people may scold Zhu Zhanji. He said casually, "How can you take it seriously?" Moreover, your Ming Jingling Mausoleum took twenty-eight years to complete.
It must be said that Zhu Zhanji was wronged because he did not build the mausoleum when he was alive. It was built by his son and it had nothing to do with him.

There is a reason why I have been cultivating for twenty-eight years.
Because his son's name is Zhu Qizhen, and with this God of War at his side, why shouldn't anything be delayed for a while?
There are advantages to building a mausoleum during your lifetime. At least you will know whether you will live in an off-plan house or an existing house after death, whether it will be a suite or a single room, whether it will be finely decorated or simply decorated...
Zhu Yunwen didn't pay much attention to this aspect. Ancient emperors all had dreams, believing that they would go to another world after death, and those who were buried with them would still be with them and they could continue to enjoy themselves.
Therefore, the burial must not only include gold, silver and jewelry, but also soldiers and horses, beauties, and some cruel ones, and some boys and girls must be brought down to accompany them.
But from the perspective of future generations, these tombs have two functions: archeology and admission fees.
As for the contents, they are probably gone. If these emperors really had spirits, they would probably see a large group of people walking around, pointing, and bustling...
Zhu Yunwen has no plans for what will happen after his death for the time being, as he is already too busy with matters during his lifetime.
After all, what Ru Yu did in Xinzhou was reported to the capital, and the whole court was immediately alarmed. Officials who were originally engaged in the "teaching material dispute" immediately called a truce and devoted themselves to verbally and written criticism of Ru Yu.
Among the six departments, there were people who impeached Ru Jin.
In Zhu Yunwen's view, Ru Jin saved the court's face in Xinzhou, which was a public relations exercise, but for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, wrong, the military men were rough people and could not be counted. It should be the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty. Ru Jin bowed his head and apologized to the people. That is a big mistake, a shame, and it is trampling on the face of powerful people.
For the majesty of the imperial court, for his own authority, in order not to be forced to bow his head and admit his mistakes in the future, and in order to continue walking with his head up and looking at the sky, he must suppress this evil trend of Ru Yu.
Many people in the world have heard a saying, that is, the doctor cannot be punished, but many people have overlooked one point. This is only half a sentence, and there is another sentence before it:
No courtesy to common people!
The so-called etiquette should not be extended to common people, which means that people are not required to have complete etiquette.
In other words, the common people can practice less etiquette, but for the powerful and the officials, it is natural to practice more.
The existence of this kind of thinking separates the class of officials from the class of common people. That is to say, the officials are at the top, polite and occupy a dominant position, and the people are at the bottom. Not only is it rude, but it is more or less due to insufficient restraint by etiquette and low quality. It is necessary People who are managed and educated.
Since ancient times, the scholar-bureaucrats have been at the top, claiming to be superior to others. When did they bow down to the common people?
The emperor issued a shameful edict to punish himself. He lowered his head, seemingly sincere and repentant. He wanted to kneel down and cry and beg. But you have to know that this is for God to see, not for the common people.
The scholar-officials bowed their heads and shouted, "I am terrified, I am guilty." They lowered their heads to show the emperor. It was a glorious performance.
Bowing to the common people and apologizing in front of countless people, let me go, you, Ru Yu, must have put your show on the wrong target. You need to figure out the target of your political show when you bear the burden of apology.
It doesn't matter if you are embarrassed, but you represent the imperial court and all your colleagues in the capital. How can you also embarrass everyone?
Finally, the anger suppressed by the dispute over textbooks found an outlet, impeaching one letter after another, just to illustrate one problem:
The dignity that the powerful had fought for for thousands of years was lost to Ru Ru alone.
Sitting in Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yunwen listened to the hustle and bustle of the market, the so-called group gathering
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
As for attacking, that's all. But while so many officials were making noise, the cabinet was quiet.
Yu Xin, Huang Zicheng, Jie Jin and other fighting factions suddenly stopped fighting and kept silent. Seeing that the fire was about to burn themselves, they bent down and asked the Emperor for sick leave, citing stomach discomfort as an excuse. You, prepare to go home to recuperate for half a month.
Well, if three cabinet ministers are sick together, then let's get sick.
Zhu Yunwen nodded in agreement, and generously said that he would arrange for the imperial doctor to visit the house.
Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng had no choice. They and Ru Ru were like grasshoppers on the same rope, and they had a good relationship in private. Now adding insult to injury would not kill Ru Ru, but it would definitely damage their own reputations.
People will say, remember these two people. When making friends in the future, don’t make friends with Yu Xin, Huang Zicheng and the like. Damn, what kind of friends are you?
As for Xie Jin, he actually wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ru Yu. With one less opponent in the cabinet, he would be more relaxed.
But Yang Shiqi didn't think so. What Yang Shiqi thought was that because of the dispute over teaching materials, the cabinet was divided and the courtiers were divided. If Ru Yu was tricked again at this time, the relationship between Xie Jin and other ministers in the cabinet would definitely be in trouble after the matter was over in the future. Even worse, the relationship with other courtiers will become more antagonistic.
If there is a chance to relax, let Yu Xin, Huang Zicheng and others have a clear attitude. The dispute over teaching materials is a battle over teaching materials, and it is almost over. I have not taken action against you this time, so you should not make things too much.
Xie Jin considered that his foundation was not as good as those old guys who had been in the court for more than ten years, so he followed Yang Shiqi's advice and turned a blind eye to the courtiers' attack on Ru Yu, pretending not to hear it.
The days passed by, and the impeachment memorial was written day by day, but no one approved or acted on it.
No one in the cabinet is working, and the emperor does not go to court every day. After writing this memorial, he never had a chance to hand it over. He kept it in his arms all day, and did not work in his own office. He just wandered outside the Meridian Gate to see who was there. The minister was summoned to the palace and brought over.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were relatively resilient and would not give up until they achieved their goals. No wonder they were beaten to death so many times in history. No one would be happy if they blocked the door of their homes every day.
But the problem still needed to be solved. Zhu Yunwen held another court meeting, and even Yu Xin, Xie Jin and others who were sleeping at home were pulled back. The court officials who seized the opportunity came forward one after another, demanding that Ru Ru be revoked from his official position and rush back to his hometown to farm.
Zhu Yunwen was very polite. Looking at the many indignant officials, he asked: "According to Ming law, what crime did Ru Yu commit?"
All the officials who impeached Rujun were stunned.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulated which crimes should be beheaded, which crimes should be served with big sticks, and which crimes should be beaten with small paddles. But from beginning to end, after reading all the laws, there was no one that said: Officials apologize to the people, and then they can He should be dismissed from office.
After a few days of emotional scolding, they were all focused on face issues and never thought about legal issues. Now Zhu Yunwen took out the golden cudgel of law and knocked these people unconscious with one stick.
If the law does not stipulate that something cannot be done, it is basically something that can be done. Even if it is immoral and inhumane, it is not illegal.
Since he didn't break the law, why do you want to pursue Ru Ru?
Zhu Yunwen also looked at Hou Tai, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, with great interest: "You are in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and participated in the compilation of the Ming Dynasty Code. Come and tell me, what crime did Ru Jin commit when he apologized to the people on behalf of the magistrate of Xinzhou? If you can't tell me, what crime did you commit? Is an impeachment memorial evidence of false accusation against a colleague?"
