Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 474 Don't have any plans

Gao Yushi mobilized his family guards and escorted Zhang Juzheng all the way south to his hometown.This incident was misunderstood by some officials in the court who did not know the truth as Gao Gong's order, which led to two types of discussions.

One group believed that Gao Gong was greedy for fame, and that Gao Gong was the main beneficiary of Zhang Juzheng's downfall, but he even asked his nephew to send servants and a motorcade to escort him all the way, obviously to gain a good reputation.

The other group thinks that Gao Gong thought of his friendship with Zhang Juzheng for decades, no matter what the outcome of the two people, it is inevitable that they will be ruthless in the end, and they still have good intentions after all.

However, this matter was actually Gao Yushi's own idea, and it was another time he did it without authorization, but unexpectedly, this time Gao Gong didn't say anything, it was regarded as acquiescing.After Guo Pu knew about it, he even praised Gao Pragmatism a few words, thinking that this is the style of a benevolent gentleman, and he doesn't need to care about what others say.

As for Gao Pragmatic's real purpose, only he himself knows clearly.

This reshuffle is a fundamental change in the overall situation of the country after the new king ascended the throne. Through this incident, Gao Gong established the absolute authority of the cabinet before Wanli came to power. The big plan can finally be carried out according to his will.

At the beginning of August, the Ministry of Rites agreed on the titles of the two palaces.The next day, under the leadership of Gao Gong, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Guo Pu, the second assistant, the chief officials of the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Hanlin Academy and other yamen all went to the shuffle. Please add the honorary titles of the two palaces and make Empress Chen the emperor Empress Dowager Li Guifei is the Empress Dowager Cisheng.The little emperor Wanli criticized Hong and said that he would ask the two palaces for instructions.

On the next day, all the nobles in Beijing, headed by Zhu Xizhong, Duke of Cheng, Xu Wenbi, Duke of Ding, and Zhang Rong, Duke of England, went to the Shu, and asked the emperor to approve the cabinet, the Ministry of Rites, etc., to be honored by the two palaces.

In the afternoon, the imperial edict was issued: It is also my intention to invite you, but the two palaces are deeply saddened by the emperor's examination of the dragon. Now that the emperor's examination of the mountain mausoleum has not been completed, the two palaces feel uneasy.Although it is requested, it is not allowed for the time being.

On the next day, Meng Chong, the local eunuch guarding Changping and the mausoleum worker, was dispatched to Shangshu.However, after repeated interviews, it was found that the former site of Chaxian Mausoleum is Dayu Mountain, where the mountains are majestic and the energy is naturally formed, which is really an excellent place.However, the Xianling Mausoleum was built by Sejong for Emperor Xian, and it was vacant due to an incident.

Meng Chong’s memorial said that the location of Xiangdu was not good before, but after investigation, it was found that the Xianling Mausoleum built for his biological father during the Jiajing ceremony was a good place, but because Jiajing’s biological father did not move the mausoleum in the end, this place Although the Xuan Palace has been repaired, it has not been completely completed. It is empty now. It is difficult to make a decision on this matter. Please ask the emperor to judge.

Of course, the emperor couldn't be sanctified - the Xianling Mausoleum was originally built for Long Qing's grandfather, but now let his grandson "live" in?It sounds a bit unreliable.

So they reported it to the two palaces, and the two palaces didn't understand these things anymore. These are all important matters related to etiquette. They didn't dare to make up their minds, so they pushed back to the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites.

This time someone made a decision, and Gao Gong stood up and made it clear that it will be at the former site of the Xianling Mausoleum in Dayu Mountain!

Gao Gong made the decision so quickly, not because of anything else, but because he felt that the Xianling Mausoleum was still empty, and now that it can be done with a little repair, it would be great. what?If you have money to build the emperor's mausoleum, it is better to use the money to repair the border defense!

So Gao Gong sent Zhu Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, to investigate in person, and called Zhu Heng to teach him face-to-face before leaving.

Zhu Heng came and went very quickly this time, and when he came back, he boasted that the place of Xianling was so good, not only the Feng Shui was so good, but also the original Xuan Palace, which was almost repaired, was even more miraculous: "The purple light in the Xuan Palace is glowing, and the atmosphere is harmonious." Yu steaming, the entrance hall is clean, just like a warm room”!
Of course Zhu Yijun was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly reported to Lianggong, who was also very happy to hear that—they will also have to "live" there in the future—so the matter was settled.

Zhu Yijun immediately decreed to designate it as Zhaoling Mausoleum, and first moved to the coffin of Empress Xiaoyi Li's coffin—this was Longqing's first concubine, who died very early, and the empress was named posthumously.On September [-], the coffin of Longqing—who should now be called Emperor Muzong—was also buried in the mausoleum.

Then it was time for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to allocate funds to transfer people to repair the mausoleum, but at this time there was a little accident-Gao Pragmatically went to Shu and asked for people to pay for the mausoleum repair.

This made everyone wonder, Long Qing is not your father, why do you pay for his mausoleum?
Not to mention that the people below couldn't figure out the situation, even the two palaces and the little emperor couldn't figure it out, and even Zhu Yijun had a thought: Could it be that Pragmatism is actually my brother?
When he couldn't think about it, he thought back to the time when his father valued high pragmatism, which was by no means an ordinary value. Before he died, he told him to accompany him to study until he was in charge of the government, and he had a private conversation before. It is said that high pragmatism is reserved for him to be a minister in the future!
However, this association did not last long, because Gao Yushi quickly explained the reason.

One is that the late emperor had a great kindness to him, not only for special purposes, but also for the right to make soap. He was able to become rich today, thanks to many things. Now that the late emperor is a big business, it is only natural for him to contribute some money .

The second is that he experimented with a special building material and used it for construction, which is extremely strong, so he specially dedicated it as a part of repaying the kindness of the late emperor.

Oh, it turns out that's the case, and that makes sense.The only question is just how amazing that building material really is.

Many people don't believe in the magic that people can't see with their own eyes, so Gao Yushi decided to let people see it and ask for it.

On September 23, while the autumn tiger was still there and the weather was still relatively hot, the highly pragmatic performance began.

Under Longevity Mountain (Meishan Mountain), dozens of Gao family servants acted as construction workers and started construction on the edge of Miyagi.The building they are going to repair today is not difficult, it is just an ordinary warehouse.

Those who were invited to visit the building that day were from the two palaces and the emperor, down to the cabinet and ministers of various ministries, as well as a slew of officials of science and Taoism.

Following Gao Yushi's order, Gao's servants lifted the cloth covering the building materials, revealing the true face inside.

As soon as he opened it, Zhu Heng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was surprised and asked, "Gao Guanzheng, are these iron bars also building materials?"

Gao Wushi didn't intend to introduce reinforced concrete to him, but just let him read it with a smile.

In fact, Gao Pragmatism's so-called reinforced concrete building is still very simple.Those so-called steel bars are actually thin wrought iron rods as thick as a thumb, and his concrete is far from meeting the standard for later generations. It can almost be regarded as some simple aggregates added to Portland cement.As for the compressive strength, acid and corrosion resistance, expansion coefficient, etc., no one knows it at all, and it can't be measured at all.

But no matter what, this original reinforced concrete building is definitely much stronger and more durable than Daming's building at this time.

However, Gao Yushi is a person who never wants to do free work. Of course, he jumped out to intervene in the mausoleum work, of course not only for the two reasons he said on the surface, but of course he has other plans.
