The Southern Dynasties were located in the south of the Yangtze River. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the land was vast and sparsely populated. Even now, the population is difficult to compare with that of the north. Therefore, Jiankang Mansion is definitely not big, at least it is not worthy of the grand unified dynasty of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, just like the reconstruction of Chang'an, the new Jiankang Mansion is also being planned, and preliminary measurements have even been completed.
Unlike the construction of Chang'an, which was to build a new city from Longshouyuan to the south, Jiankang Prefecture still existed as the capital for several generations in the Southern Dynasties, so the internal facilities of the city were much better than those of the dilapidated Chang'an City. Therefore, Jiankang Prefecture
The old city is preserved, with the old city as the center, and is mainly expanded to the south, along the mountains and lakes to Qinhuai, trying to wrap up the current Ten Mile Changting Pavilion. Of course, the imperial city is expanded to the north, reaching the foot of Zhongshan Mountain.
The final Jiankang Mansion built relied on the mountain topography to change from the current square shape into a long strip. The main purpose of doing so was to increase the residential area and business area of the city as much as possible under certain restrictions on the terrain, especially for
Being able to include the Changganli area within the scope of the city led to the city eventually becoming a southeast-northwest direction.
The northeastern part of the city was set aside as workshops and docks, and the southwest part of the city faced the heart of Jiangnan, where the Han Army and Imperial Guard barracks were located. Sitting here, the Han army could quickly reach various places in Jiangnan along the waterways.
A big town.
But now these are still on paper. At this time, Changqianli is still the farewell place ten miles south of Jiankang Mansion, and it is also where Li Xingchen welcomes the soldiers returning home in triumph today.
At this time, the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty were already waiting in Changganli. They all saluted after seeing Li Xingchen. The civil official leading the team was Gu Yewang, and the military general was Pei Zilie.
Two people, one old and one young, standing here seem to symbolize the present of the Han Dynasty. The old generation has grown old, and the new generation has also taken on great responsibilities.
"Gong Gu, please get in the car and have a rest." Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to help King Gu Ye, "Gong Gu is already old. This time, I have sent someone to tell Gong Gu not to come, so why did you come again? Chenfeng
It's still a bit chilly, and I feel guilty if Mr. Gu becomes ill because of this."
King Gu Ye stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This time is to welcome the soldiers who have made great contributions to our Han Dynasty. Although the old minister is old, he is still the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. After all the ministers have arrived, there are no veterans.
What’s the point of sleeping high at home?”
After a pause, King Gu Ye then said: "What's more, even if I catch the cold, now that your majesty has opened a pharmacy in the name of the inner palace, and even has an imperial doctor in charge, I naturally have nothing to fear."
Li Xingchen couldn't help but smile and said: "If you are really sick, it's Mr. Gu who is the one who feels uncomfortable."
King Gu Ye looked around and was filled with emotion: "Now that I have all the good ministers and generals of the great Han Dynasty, it's time for my old minister to leave. Whether he gets sick or not depends on God's will."
Li Xingchen shook his head: "Although Mr. Gu is old, he is in good spirits. I don't think he is so worried. Mr. Gu has worried too much. He can guide me in this position of Prime Minister. He should be able to do more work for me."
Year."
"Your Majesty, I am tired from traveling for half my life." King Gu Ye said with a smile, "I also want to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes like Duke Xiaomu."
Li Xingchen was silent for a long time, and then said: "Gu Gong really wants to retire?"
"Your Majesty, please allow it." King Gu Ye said calmly.
"Then who can replace Gu Gong?" Li Xingchen said helplessly, "The reason why I don't want Gu Gong to leave is mainly because looking at the current Han Dynasty, it seems that there is no one who can replace Gu Gong."
King Gu Ye wants to retire and return to his hometown. This is something Li Xingchen has known for a long time. However, now that the younger generation has risen in the Han Dynasty, there is still a lack of support in the court. Therefore, Li Xingchen does not know that he has asked Gu Ye
Will the king's departure make it difficult for the Han Dynasty to smoothly handle the work in the court? At the same time, of course, the young people below are young compared to the age of people like King Gu Ye. Will they be able to shoulder the important task of being the head of the entire court?
Before this, Li Xingchen had already had similar tendencies and plans. He asked Tang Yishun, the official in charge of the six departments, to take on a lot of work that should have been the prime minister's assistant. The intention was naturally obvious, that is, he wanted Tang Yishun to play the final role.
To replace Gu Yewang. However, from the current point of view, Tang Yishun still lacks enough experience. If he is rashly put in the position, it may cause chaos.
Therefore, from a personal point of view, Li Xingchen still prefers to let the older generation like Gu Yewang stay with you for a few more days, at least to give the young people a little more time.
However, since Yuan Xian passed away last year, the mentality of Gu Yewang and other veterans of the former dynasty has aged at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, they all yearn for a life like Yuan Xian's. After becoming successful and famous, they would retire and return to their hometown. Now they are still treating themselves
All arrangements have been made for his heirs.
With an old mentality, people will naturally age at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this time, King Gu Ye is no longer the old man who walked as fast as he did when Li Xingchen entered Shu.
"Yes, although the position of Prime Minister and Fu is high, it mainly plays a coordinating role, and there are also ministers under the Prime Minister to help, so I thought that His Majesty was boldly selecting young talents, and secondly, he was
Jian Ba, an old minister in the court, will first play a transitional role in this position and speed up the cultivation of the younger generation." King Gu Ye said after considering it, obviously he already had a solution in his mind, but it was not good before.
Just make it clear to Li Xingchen directly.
Now King Gu Ye stands in front of all the officials and confesses his thoughts clearly to Li Xingchen. He feels like he is being forced into the palace. King Gu Ye has dedicated his whole life for the great man. Now he is old and wants to retire and rest. His Majesty won't let him go. Isn't that right?
Did it chill the hearts of the other ministers?
Li Xingchen finally nodded: "I'm sure, what does Mr. Gu think of Yao Cha? Can he take on this important task?"
"Old minister, I think it's good," Gu Yewang nodded and said in a low voice, "Yao Cha is cautious and steady, and as his name suggests, he has the ability to discern the subtleties. There is no problem in letting him serve as prime minister and assistant. After one or two years, he will
You can let Tang Du Guan serve as prime minister."
"That'll be it." Li Xingchen finally agreed.
If the old doesn't go, the new won't come.
King Gu Ye and other older generation officials will leave sooner or later, and he must be prepared.
The pressure on talents lies not only in how many of the younger generation can stand up, but also in whether the older and more experienced people can leave a little later.
"Report, your Majesty, the team is still three miles away from here."
Li Xingchen immediately cheered up: "Gu Gong, even if you resign, you are still the head of the hundred officials today, and you will welcome the victorious soldiers with me!"
