Imperial City, one of the six official departments.
When Gao Shilian, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was chatting with the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, he saw Situ Wanggui and Sikong Chang Sun Wuji coming hand in hand.
The two of them were walking in a hurry.
Gao Shilian asked: "My lords, are you in such a hurry? Could it be that there is something urgent?"
Changsun Wuji said eagerly: "Master Gao, do you know that Zhang Xuansu has been kicked out of the East Palace by His Majesty and has lost his position as Crown Prince Zhanshi?"
Gao Shilian nodded: "I have heard about this matter a long time ago. Zhang Xuansu is quite capable, but unfortunately he is too cruel. I have never liked him. Besides, he was also involved in driving up food prices. Now he is
It is justifiable to expel him from the East Palace... Moreover, if Master Kong is allowed to serve as Prince Zhanshi, no one will object to it. After all, Master Kong and Master Yan are both great scholars in the world, with excellent knowledge and integrity!"
Kong Yingda was a descendant of the sage Confucius, and he was also a great Confucian of the time. He was also a state minister, and was as famous as Yan Shigu. If someone else were to serve as the crown prince, there would be few objections, but with Kong Yingda taking action, no one would have any objections.
Even Gao Shilian, who has always been picky, mentioned Kong Yingda, and his words were mostly protective.
Wang Gui shook his head and sighed: "Yes, the choice of Prince Zhan Shi should have been decided after discussion among the ministers, but this time His Majesty made the decision himself. When everyone heard that the new Prince Zhan Shi was Master Kong, naturally there was no choice.
People objected... However, news just came that although Master Kong served as the crown prince's minister, His Highness the Crown Prince worshiped Du He as his teacher. In other words, Master Kong was the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince on the surface, and Du He
This bitch is the prince’s real teacher…”
Gao Shilian was stunned: "This matter... is really unbelievable. What on earth did Your Majesty think that he actually agreed to such a thing? However, speaking of Du He, this guy is quite capable."
Wang Gui complained endlessly: "Master Gao, you are confused. I also admit that Du He does have some abilities... However, he may not be suitable to be the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince. Have you forgotten the King of Shu?"
King of Shu?
Li Chengqian!
How could Gao Shilian forget!
The King of Shu used to be a good boy, smart, smart, humble and respectful, but since he became a student of Du He, his temperament has changed drastically. Instead of being a good prince, he has held more than thirty positions in Hu County.
He stopped studying and started playing with swords, guns and sticks. He turned into a fat little black man and became a character that everyone yelled at.
His Royal Highness is now a standard prince. If he follows Du He, God knows what he will become.
He hurriedly said: "We must stop this matter..."
Changsun Wuji said: "In fact, Mr. Wang and I have already been to the Taiji Palace regarding this matter. Your Majesty will not listen to any advice, unless the ministers in the court can unite and report together, asking your Majesty to take back the order."
That’s all.”
Gao Shilian muttered: "Yes, we alone may not be able to accomplish this matter. It would be best to involve two prime ministers."
He was talking about the left prime minister Fang Xuanling and the right prime minister Du Ruhui.
"Exactly!"
"Without further delay, we need to take action as soon as possible!"
After some discussion, they set off separately to seek help from the ministers in the DPRK.
But after a lot of work, I spent a lot of money talking, but the result was very unsatisfactory.
What made Wang Gui, Changsun Wuji, and Gao Shilian dumbfounded was that few people supported this matter, and many people even opposed their plan.
Du Ruhui and Du He have a father-son relationship. How could Du Ruhui object to the prince becoming Du He's disciple?
Fang Xuanling had just recovered from his "serious illness" and was no longer interested in worldly affairs. What's more, his son Fang Yiai was still a student of Du He. Now that the prince and Fang Yiai were from the same school, he could only wish for it.
The left and right prime ministers all sided with Du He.
As for Yushitai, Wei Zheng alone has the final say. Wei Zheng's two sons received titles because of Du He, and his stupid son Wei Shuyu even served as the magistrate of Hu County. Of course, he would not object to Du He serving as Li Chengqian's Teacher, of course, no one in the entire Yushitai dared to object.
Among the six departments, Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was a student of Du Ruhui and had a close relationship with Du He.
Although Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites, did not have a good relationship with Du He, his two daughters were married to the King of Shu. I don’t know if the King of Shu had let him know, so Chen Shuda ignored Wang Gui and others at all.
The son of Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, was still in Hu County, at the construction site of Anhu Avenue. He was worried that if he stood up to oppose this matter, Du He might take the opportunity to embarrass his son, so he also expressed that he did not want to take care of it.
Dai Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, and his son Dai Jinyun were Du He's students, and he even got the title of County Prince. Of course, he would not go against Du He.
Only Li Daozong, the Minister of Punishment, was left, but Li Daozong was a free and unrestrained nature and did not easily participate in court disputes.
So, after Wang Gui and the others were busy for a while, no one joined them in protesting against the prince joining Du He's family.
This matter will be settled.
Wang Gui said with emotion: "Originally, I thought Du He was a rat that everyone yelled at in the court. I never thought that without knowing it, he had affected so many people..."
Although Du He is now just a small prince-consort, without a title and unable to serve as an official in the court, his influence cannot be underestimated. In addition, he has won the trust of His Majesty, and no one dares to despise him.
…
At the same time, the first batch of vegetables grown on the Huxian farm was officially sold.
Under Fang Yiai's operation, a sunflower plant worth ten guan actually sold for 20 guan or even 50 guan, which was very popular.
This naturally earned Dream Group a considerable amount of money.
The last month of the eighth year of Zhenguan.
The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The Anhu Avenue project, which lasted nearly a year, was officially completed.
More than 700,000 yuan was invested in the entire project. At its peak, more than 10,000 people were working on various sections of the road at the same time, building a straight, flat and spacious avenue from Chang'an to Huxian.
From then on, it no longer took more than an hour to travel from Chang'an to Hu County by carriage, and it only took less than half an hour at the fastest.
Of course, many people wonder why Duhe wants to carry out large-scale construction projects. Building such a road seems to be of no use.
On this day, there were heavy snowflakes falling from the sky again.
The goose-feather-like snow fell on the ground, dotting the originally silver-covered ground.
At the Anhu Avenue construction site where the work shed is located, at first, everyone was still immersed in the joy of completing the project, but soon the atmosphere became dull and many people stopped talking. Even if more than ten pigs were killed in the canteen today, they were rewarded Everyone, but people still feel helpless.
Today, there are still more than 5,000 people on the construction site.
Ten days ago, a group of elites among them were selected by the Dream Group headquarters and went to the foot of the Qinling Mountains to build the new headquarters of the Dream Group, as well as the Prince Consort's Mansion that was about to be built.
But the rest of the people don't know where to go.
They used to be homeless, and the Anhu Avenue construction site was their home.
Now that the project is completed, where can I go?
