Chapter 332 Qianyang Palace
During the previous dynasty, there was a Ganyang Hall in the east, which started from the ground and was as high as 170 feet, which is fifty-six meters.
And it is 345 feet long and 170 feet deep.
There is no doubt that it is the most magnificent and largest palace of this era.
The emperor always wanted to find an opportunity to renovate the palace for future tours. But when you think about it, it was only 56 meters high, which is later generations. If you want to build a hotel with a height of 56 meters, you probably invest a lot.
But you have to say that standing in such a hall and looking outside can really make people feel satisfied with the world.
However, to build such a palace, it would take two thousand people just to drag a pillar, and the lower part of the wheel must be poured with iron to facilitate transportation.
If a wooden wheel is used in the middle, the friction will generate heat, and the fire will come out. Moreover, even if an iron hub is used, some of them will be destroyed if they walk one or two miles, and hundreds of people still need to follow the iron hub behind them, and they will only travel thirty or twenty miles all day long.
Perhaps there is an exaggeration here, but this does show from the side how difficult it is to renovate the palace.
Therefore, some ministers believed that dragging this pillar alone would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is why the ministers did not let the emperor repair the palace again.
Because the cost is too huge, the more important thing is that the Ganyang Palace was burned by the emperor himself.
Now you still want to renovate it, is that possible?
Think about what you said before you burned.
That's right!
He said himself that the previous dynasty was so dead, and he could not learn from the foolish monarchs of the previous dynasty.
Then isn’t it just slapping yourself in the face now?
Therefore, it is impossible to practice, and it is probably impossible in this life.
Unless, he wants to be a foolish monarch himself.
The key is that, as the main force who firmly opposed his rehabilitation this time, has not yet appeared. The Secretary of the Central Committee, Yan Lifu, actually does not agree, but after all, the country is still rich now, and he cannot say that he will not let His Majesty enjoy it at all.
Anyway, there must be someone who objected, so most of the time he just left this direct advice to others.
The censor Wei Lin was actually quite relaxed. Although he also objected, he wouldn't have said that you want to be a fool, that way.
In fact, there have always been other people who opposed his repair of the palace, which was Li Chengqian's command, the crown prince Zuoxianzi and Zhang Xuanqing. There were two crown prince Zuoxianzi, and Yu Zhining was only one of them.
Originally, the emperor should have wanted to throw Zhang Xuanqing to the crown prince, so he would not be bothered by himself, but unexpectedly...
Li Chengqian may also know what kind of person the other party is, so most of the time, Li Chengqian pretended to be admonished in front of Zhang Xuanqing, and before he came out, he also entrusted Zhang Xuanqing with important tasks and asked him to stay in the East Palace.
This shows how clever Li Chengqian is.
His father couldn't solve it, and he didn't want to solve it either. He might as well just let him stay in the Eastern Palace. If there is really something big in the court, please let me know.
If the emperor wants to renovate the Ganyang Palace, he must obtain the other party's consent. Although the other party is now a foreign minister in the Eastern Palace, he still has a certain influence on him, the emperor.
For example, if you don’t agree, I will resign and retire and return home. With the emperor paying great attention to his own reputation, I will definitely not let such a thing happen.
This is not!
After meeting Yan Lifu and Wei Lin, the emperor met Zhang Xuanqing again and told Zhang Xuanqing about this matter. Do you think if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was asked to work in Dongdu, if there was no decent place, would this work?
Just like talking about family matters with the other party, Zhang Xuanqing immediately knew what the emperor was thinking. Since the prince’s place was decent, then as the emperor, he should also cultivate his place, right?
Why not, let’s renovate this Ganyang Palace.
Zhang Xuanqing didn't know what the emperor was thinking. Then he took a look at the examples of a few "predecessors" and said bluntly, if you want to be the same as them, then you can do it.
Look, this awesome temper!
The emperor looked dissatisfied. I'm discussing with you now, so don't there be any room for maneuver?
In fact, if Zhang Xuanqing can be solved, it will be easier for other ministers to deal with. After all, most of them are just unrelated to their own affairs.
But unfortunately, this time it was another bad thing.
When he returned to the harem to find the queen, he suddenly remembered that he had made some mistakes. He shouldn't mention it himself. It would be better for the prince to mention it. In the name of filial piety, it is impossible. Even if Zhang Xuanqing disagreed, he had to agree.
Then, he immediately prepared a letter to the prince and sent someone to the prince.
Dongdu.
Li Chengqian opened the letter and looked at it. It was wrong. He had never said that he wanted to stay in Dongdu? Who said that he wanted to stay in Dongdu?
However, after reading his father's letter, I also felt that Zhang Xuanqing was indeed quite disappointing sometimes.
But the renovation of Ganyang Palace seemed to have nothing to do with him, until Li Chengqian saw his father mention Yaoyao in the last sentence in the letter.
If Yaoyao is over, he must also need a good bedroom.
Only then did Li Chengqian guess that it was Yaoyao who had said something to his father.
really!
A few more days later.
He then received a reply from Yaoyao, saying that Dongdu will be their base in the future. First, it can control the entire canal transportation. Second, generally speaking, the more you set up your palace, the more you lack the enterprising spirit and are determined to eat and wait for death.
This is very consistent with Yaoyao's idea of spending his family.
Before I knew it, I began to maintain my integrity.
After Li Chengqian probably knew what was going on, he couldn't help but be speechless.
Before making such a decision, she should at least mention it to herself.
Fortunately!
At the end of the letter, Yaoyao fully realized her mistake and said that she accepted the punishment.
‘My fault, don’t be angry!’
‘When I arrive in Dongdu, I can punish you no matter how I am."
After reading these two sentences, he was actually unable to say that he was angry, so he became even more angry.
Because for some reason, the way she was talking to him was always lingering in her mind.
"Forget it! I'd better think about what to do next?"
There are no larger palaces in the East Capital now, but his father wanted to build them. Then his emperor of the East Palace disagreed and had to rely on him as the prince to plead. But can he really persuade him? Even himself does not have such confidence.
