eldest son of Ming dynasty

In contrast to the large prisons of the Ministry of Punishments, which were crowded with prisoners, the Taikuang of the Ministry of Households brought in a lot of stolen money.

The emperor's anger cannot make everything go away once and for all, the key lies in the intervention of the Supervisor of Rituals and Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Houzhao's reason for doing this is of course that he doesn't trust them. It's not uncommon for officials to protect each other and make major incidents into minor ones.

So we need to send a supervisor of ceremonies, and once the supervisor of ceremonies sits there, it will be different,
But as soon as the eunuch raised his head and began to domineering, the influence was not small.

Especially after the wanton killings in the court last time, Liu Jin's reputation has been completely ruined.

The courtiers in the outer court firmly believed that the reason why Liu Jin still obeyed the rules was because of the emperor.As long as the restraint is looser, he will show his fangs.

The lobby of the Ministry of Punishment rose up, and Liu Jin and Mao Yuwen, wearing red hats, sat on the left and right corners,

This made both Han Wen and Min Gui feel a little uncomfortable,

Han Wen had already scolded the Shaanxi Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Households yesterday, and it was because of this.

To be honest, this kind of scene can only be found in the Chenghua period of Xianmiao.

During the reign of Hongzhi, the factory guards were suppressed honestly, but now they have gained momentum in the first year of Zhengde.

It's really hard to say good or bad.

"Eunuch Liu?" Han Wen held back his displeasure, and greeted him like this.

The old God Liu Jin was there, with a proud look, nodded and said, "Huh? If there is nothing else, Da Situ can just be promoted."

Min Gui had a bad temper and held back his anger without speaking.

Snapped!
There was a knock on the gavel.

"Take the prisoner!!"

……

The Yangzhou Salt Class case was tried in the Criminal Department of the capital.

The official group itself is somewhat dissatisfied with this matter,

Now seeing the supervisor of ceremonies intervene, he is even more annoyed.

……

Liu Jin is not a low-key person, he can interrupt and guide in class,

Those prisoners were also crazy before they died, they roared in the hall,
"How many salt officials in the world are not corrupt? How many are not involved in private salt? Why should the court convict me?!"

"absurd!!"

Hanwen knows it, and the Jinyiwei and Lijian are all there, and these words will reach the emperor's ears, including what he said.

"I have committed a serious crime, and I don't know that I have owed the emperor's kindness. How dare I yell here! Is it true that I dare not use punishment as an official?"

Liu Jin also frowned, with some disgust in his complacent expression, "This kind of idiot, why is Da Situ wasting his tongue with him? His words have already admitted that he has profited from private salt. Can."

This……

This guy just said a few words,

After all, Han Wen is an important minister of the current dynasty, and he is also loyal to the emperor. In terms of holy favor, even if he is not as good as Gu Zuo and others, at least the emperor trusts him.

"Eunuch Liu, I'm still trying the case. The facts of the case are not yet clear. Please don't talk too much. His Majesty ordered Eunuch Liu to supervise the trial. Since it is a supervision trial, Eunuch Liu can watch and listen carefully here. It is enough to report to the sage without saying a word, and there is no other word from this official. But the presiding judge is still this official."

Liu Jin felt humiliated after being pushed up in public.With boundless anger pouring out of my heart,

It's a shame that Hangeul is not an unknown person after all, and people's speech is impeccable.He can't help it either.

"Come here!!" Han Wen, who was always gentle, also started to get angry.

This time he provoked the salt class case, in fact, he was mentally prepared to lose his official position.Now it's this time, what else is there to be afraid of?
"Slap this person!"

……

The trial of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is full of gunpowder.

Most of these prisoners have sufficient criminal facts, so there is nothing to say,

But the crowd is dissatisfied, and dissatisfaction must have a place to vent.

The Supervisor of Rituals and Jin Yiwei just collided with the 'muzzle of the gun',
Yes,

Many civil servants were quite dissatisfied with the intervention of the Supervisor of Rites,
Especially considering the eunuchs, Jin Yiwei... no matter which one, their sense of existence is stronger than that of Hongzhi.

Therefore, the capital after the Great Court Meeting did not become quiet because of this, but became more intense.
When three or five literati get together, they will talk about eunuch chaos after drinking.

The battle in the court seems to never stop.

Gu Zuo, who was very tired of these things, took the initiative to block the matter of the salt class. He didn't care about Zou Cheng's crime and where he was locked up, let alone asked anyone about it.

All his thoughts are still in Shaofu.

During his time in prison, a new capital planning department was set up under the Shaofu.

Si Zheng and Deputy Si Zheng are Song Heng and Zhang Chi respectively,

Zhang Chi also has the task of planning and building a library garden.

In addition, the city that never sleeps is a bit stagnant, and Gu Zuo wants to make it move again.

And there are road repairs, whitelists, etc.

It can be said that things fill up all of Gu Zuo's time,

Even in the scorching summer, he only had to go to Nancheng to learn about the actual progress of the library.

Zhang Chi pointed to the several ponds in front of them, distributed in twos and threes. Water and along the water are better. In addition, with water, you can also make more fuss about the landscape.”

"The book collection garden takes the concept of 'scent of books'. In the early stage, it is planned to build eight independent library buildings in the shape of a 'book'. Each library building is different and has its own characteristics. In addition to the beauty of the building, of course, it is also necessary to take into account the needs of your Majesty. In terms of practicality, there are two gates in the library garden, the north and the south, and the main road in the middle can lead to the southern city of the capital. The road is not far away. There are many tables and stools in the library building. In addition to the building itself, there are also book pavilions built outside by the river. Everything is convenient To read and enjoy reading comes first."

What Zhang Chi said is simple, but in fact, to use it comfortably everywhere, there will be a lot of content and details to consider.

"I remember that the Beijing City Planning Department presented the blueprints to His Majesty. Why is there no library this time?"

Song Heng came to answer Gu Zuo's question, "It should be. But Shao Situ doesn't know something. Now we are full of troubles, and there are not many idle people in the entire Shaofu. The drawing is extremely detailed and takes a lot of time. So there is no time yet. If necessary, Deputy Director Zhang and I will start immediately, and the drawing should be completed in ten and a half months."

Drawing is mainly the work of Song Yue, Song Heng's younger brother, but he is only good at painting, so what kind of painting should be done, so we can't discuss it together?Maybe I have to stay up all night like last time.

But they had time back then, but now it's different.

Ten days and a half months is already very urgent.

Gu Zuo shook his head after hearing this, "This is not acceptable. A few days ago, I heard His Majesty mention the word white list in the palace. Although it was set up for road construction. But the reason is the same. , the Shaofu can also recruit from the outside world.”

Song Heng and Zhang Chi looked at each other and asked a question at the same time, "How to collect?"

"This is how I think about it. You have the concept of the library garden, but it is more intuitive to see what it looks like on the map. Although this construction is not as good as the city that never sleeps, it still has a few 10 taels of silver. Let your majesty pay for it." With so much money, we courtiers must at least make His Majesty willing and happy to spend it. Otherwise, we will make random things. At that time, it is time to check whether we have filled our pockets."

"As for the so-called foreign collection, one is to collect the overall appearance of the building. The content is a complete, accurate, and beautiful hand-drawn drawing and necessary explanations. In addition, the library itself also needs to build multiple library buildings. Zhang The Deputy Director also said that each library is different, so this also needs to provide drawings."

What Gu Zuo thought was that they would report to the emperor with realistic blueprints, which would be both intuitive and beautiful.

What is it called?This is a beautiful job!

Song Heng and Zhang Chi had no opinion after listening.They were still thinking about how to arrange their time to complete this matter as soon as possible.

"If you agree, the Deputy Secretary will do the same. In the name of the Shaofu, publish this matter in "Ming Pao", and the time can be a little longer. The specific amount of silver..."

Gu Zuo thought it best not to ask these two people to take the responsibility, he had the full power to make a decision and report it afterwards.

Anyway, he didn't squander the money.

"... Let's set it at 8000 taels. In fact, some of the strange people in the world have rich family resources and are not short of money. So one more thing is to add that whose idea is finally adopted by the emperor, his name will be engraved in the library At the gate of the garden!"

This can be done.

It also needs to be written, when and where it was ordered by whom, and who took the lead in building it. Now it is just adding an idea that was conceived by who.

Song Heng and Zhang Chi couldn't help but applaud,

Or the emperor just trusts Gu Zuo, this whimsy is actually very close to the emperor's sudden thoughts.

Because the library garden is completed, it must be a building that has been passed down through the ages.

Right now Jingli is already discussing everywhere,
Even Zhu Houzhao actually underestimated the impact of the Library Garden.

Because he comes from an era of information explosion, he doesn't understand how people who grew up in an age when information spread is extremely slow, or even somewhat closed, feel about books as a carrier of knowledge.

Song Lian, the founding hero of the early Ming Dynasty, has passed down through the ages in an article "Preface to Sending Dongyang Horse to Life".The family is poor, and there is no way to write a book to read. Every time, I borrow it from a book collection house, record it by hand, and pay it back every day.It's very cold, the inkstone is hard, and the fingers cannot be bent or stretched, so don't be lazy.

The so-called "no way to read books" means that there is no book to read.

Song Lian can also "borrow from the book collection house", but how many people can't borrow books?
In addition, every literati who passed the imperial examination has a past of studying hard in cold windows.

What the library garden outlines is often their difficult and boring childhood.

Praising the library can satisfy the vanity of many people who claim that they were also "addicted to books when they were young", as if they had encountered so many difficulties and put in so much effort in order to read one more book,
All things are inferior, only reading is high.

The status of a library garden in the hearts of literati cannot be overemphasized.

Now Gu Zuo gave people a chance to engrave their own names on it!
Think what temptation this is!
"This can be done!" Zhang Chi was already full of confidence.

"Okay, let's go back then."

Gu Zuo wiped the sweat from his brow and boarded the carriage, followed by Song and Zhang.

But when the carriage swayed towards Zhengyangmen, it was blocked halfway.

Noisy outside, do not know what happened.

Zhang Chiguan was the youngest, so naturally he got off the carriage to see.

After a while, I came up to reply: "A few drunkards made trouble after drinking."

"Drunkard?" Gu Zuo felt speechless.

But vaguely, he actually heard You Kuangsheng talking about 'eunuchs messing with government'.

Thinking of what happened in Beijing, Gu Zuo told the coachman, "Let's take a detour."

"Yes, sir."

The carriage moved backwards, but the people at the entrance of the restaurant did not disperse immediately.

Recently, there has indeed been some turmoil in the capital...
