Chapter 233 Mu Xiu Yu Lin
When Pei Mao came out of the gate tower, he realized that his little clothes were soaked through.

He glanced at Yang Xiu in the distance, turned around and went down the tower, heading straight for the prefect's mansion.

Xun Yu is not there.

Xun Yun said that Xun Yu was called away by Situ just now, and it seemed that he had something more important to discuss, and he might not be able to come back for a while.

Pei Mao didn't say much, and turned around to go to Situ's Mansion next door.

Seeing the crowded Sangong Mansion, Pei Mao became more and more anxious.

If the emperor wants to establish a capital in Hedong, even if there is no major construction, basic facilities are still necessary. It is really unbecoming to let the emperor and ministers squeeze into a small mansion.

However, construction requires manpower, material resources, and financial resources. For Hedong, this is an unbearable burden.

If it is apportioned to each household, it is bound to cause a backlash.

If they pursue rewards, it will make the emperor hesitate.

After much deliberation, it seems that there is only one more layer of skin from the person who made the mistake.

When you come to Situ's mansion, Pei Mao signs up and sees you.

Although Shang Shuling is only a [-]-stone official under the Shaofu Temple, he has an influence that is completely incompatible with his salary.Hearing that Shangshu ordered Pei Mao to come see him, Situ Zhao Wen soon sent word to invite Pei Mao to enter the back hall.

Pei Mao was puzzled, but he still came to the back hall.

After entering the back hall, seeing not only Zhao Wenwen and Xun Yu sitting in the hall, but also Yang Biao, Shi Sun Rui and Zhang Xi, he immediately understood.

After going to the hall, Pei Mao naturally sat down beside Xun Yu after paying respects.

Zhao Wen turned to look at Yang Biao. "Wen Xian, future generations are fearful." Then he said to scholars Sun Rui and Zhang Xi: "Jun Rong, Ji Li, hurry up, if you don't come, I'm afraid you will fall behind."

Yang Biao stroked his beard under his chin, and said lightly, "Situ is overwhelmed. The imperial court is full of waste and waiting for jobs. If you are thirsty for talents, how can you think there are too many people. Especially those who are not confused like Juguang and Wenruo, the more the better."

Pei Mao turned to look at Xun Yu, who looked as usual.

Pei Mao cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yang are serious. Mao is ashamed and dare not take it. Veteran, the treasure of the country is also the most important thing for the emperor. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang are in charge of education, while Mr. Sun is in charge of the army, and Mr. Yang is in charge of the vassal state. None of them are worthy of Mao and others. Mao took the liberty to ask for a meeting, because there is one thing that I want to ask you to advise."

Zhao Wen's cheeks twitched, as if he wanted to laugh or cry.

"Juguang, why is it so urgent?" Yang Biao's eyes showed a little anxiety.

"Dare to ask Mr. Yang if he knows about changing the origin?"

"I know, aren't we discussing the year name?" Yang Biao said calmly.

Zhao Wen and the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Before the Yuan Dynasty was changed, did you agree on the location of the capital and the location of the palace?"

Zhao Wen lowered his eyelids.

Zhang Xiqing coughed. "Hedong's household registration is limited, and after the war, it is not appropriate to start large-scale construction projects. The emperor does not want to carry out large-scale construction projects. There was a clear edict before, and all the gentlemen here know it."

Pei Mao turned around and nodded to Zhang Xi. "The emperor is sympathetic to the people's livelihood. It is the emperor's benevolence. But the emperor and his ministers live together, which is not in line with the righteousness of dignity. It also places heavy responsibilities on Guang Luxun and Wei Wei. What should we do if there is a misunderstanding and endangers the emperor?"

Zhang Xi frowned slightly. "But His Majesty has an edict..."

Pei Mao interrupted Zhang Xi. "Minister assisting the government, do you want to be polite, or accept the imperial edict?"

Zhang Xi closed his mouth in confusion.

Shi Sunrui resisted the imperial edict to avoid killing. For Yu Gong, it was to stabilize the situation in Hedong as soon as possible and contribute to the court.Therefore, although the emperor lowered his official position, he did not punish him.Personally speaking, this is practicing benevolence and forgiveness, accumulating yin and virtue, and conforming to Confucianism and Taoism.Whether it is the gratitude of the Hedong clan to him, or the appreciation of him by the ministers of the court and China, it is obvious to all.

If there is no accident, it will be a matter of time before he returns to the position of public minister.

However, Pei Mao resisted the imperial edict to build a palace for the emperor, which showed his inhumanity and hypocrisy to the emperor, and it was an extra burden for the Hedong family.

If both sides are not settled, what are you planning?

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Pei Mao didn't change his face, and he didn't give an inch.

Seeing Pei Mao's resolute attitude, which did not seem to be a slip of the tongue, Zhao Wen smoothed things over. "Juguang, in your opinion, so what?"

"The Wei family and the Fan family were deceived by Guo Tu and committed the crime of treason. The emperor was merciful and pardoned the crime of punishing their clan. The manor was regarded as a family property and should be confiscated. Mao thought that the property of the two families could be collected and used as the palace of the emperor and the family. The official office of the public secretary, avoid mixing with the common people..."

Pei Mao talked eloquently and came up with a plan.

Under the current situation, it is definitely not possible to start from scratch and build a large-scale construction project.

One is that the time is too late, and the other is that financial and material resources cannot afford it.

It is feasible to rebuild on the basis of Wei's and Fan's manors.

The Son of Heaven is frugal and doesn't want to rejuvenate the palace, but there must be a place to live, right?
Both Wei's and Fan's manors are large manors that can accommodate thousands of people, and they also have strong fortresses.It is more than enough to place the emperor and ministers, and there is a large amount of open space nearby, which can be used to place the northern and southern armies.

Demolition of Wei and Fan's manors also has the positive meaning of eliminating the influence and warning the young people.

Rebellion is a great sin.Even if the emperor is kind and spares your life, you will have to pay the price of ruining your family.

If someone is half-hearted and still wants to echo Yuan Shao, you have to weigh it carefully to see if you can last until that day.

After Zhao Wen and the others heard it, they all felt reasonable.

It is really not an option for the emperor and the minister to live in Anyi city, it is too crowded, and even affects the normal business of the prefect's mansion.

To transform Wei's Manor into the Emperor's Palace, the insufficient materials were removed from Fan's Manor.Even if it's not enough, the quantity is very limited, and it's enough for each family in Hedong to donate some.

I believe that the Anyi clan will be very active. After all, they are all related to the Wei family and the Fan family. If there is an opportunity to express their loyalty and repentance, they will not refuse.

To them, the establishment of the capital Anyi is not only an honor, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become an official.

Only in this way, Pei Mao will make a contribution again.

Besides him, who else is suitable to come forward to contact the rich families in Hedong, donate money and materials, and help build the emperor's palace.

Yang Biao raised a question.

Has the emperor already decided to set up his capital in Anyi, or is he considering this possibility?

After all, his previous idea was to go to Bingzhou, the capital of Taiyuan, not Hedong.

Hedong is all good and good, but there is only one bad thing: it is not conducive to defense.

Facing Yang Biao's doubts, Pei Mao felt a little guilty, but his face remained calm.

"Duke Yang thinks, Taiyuan is suitable for establishing the capital, or Hedong is suitable for establishing the capital?"

Yang Biao is an old man who can see through Pei Mao's details at a glance.

This was just Pei Mao's wishful thinking, the emperor at most considered the possibility of this proposal, and did not make a final decision.

But he didn't say anything, just smiled.

Zhang Xi came to his senses immediately, and then said: "The establishment of the capital is related to the fate of the country. It should not be a joke. It should be presented to the emperor in the face of the three princes. Zirou, you are Situ. Let you take the lead. First, call the ministers and all the officials to come up with an opinion, then Let the emperor decide."

Zhao Wen glanced at Zhang Xi, then at Pei Mao, and nodded slightly.

"Wen Ruo, what's your opinion?"

Pei Mao looked at Xun Yu with expectation in his eyes.

Xun Yu smiled. "What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, and the matter is of great importance. It should be discussed first by the ministers and other parties. It is not me, the governor of Hedong, who can comment on it."

Zhao Wen nodded slightly, but Zhang Xi stroked his beard and showed a satisfied smile.

Pei Mao was very disappointed.
