back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 177 Take what you need
"Li Jie? I seem to have heard that... the general will be a prisoner, um, it's not bad. It's settled..." Lu Chengqi said to himself, but Xu Chongguang listened to him, and said seriously: "Earlier, Mr. Li presided over the repair task of Yanfu Palace. The late emperor rewarded him for his meritorious service and made him a general and prisoner."

The official titles of the Dashun Dynasty are very strange, such as the Yamen of the prison, the highest official is also the name.For example, the highest officer who will be a prison is also called a general, and the highest officer who is a secretary is also called a secretary.Therefore, people often refer to these officials by the name of the Yamen. Take Li Jie as an example. Others call him Lord Li or the general prisoner, without any abruptness.

Lu Chengqi knew that the general supervisor was in charge of the palace buildings, the production of precious utensils made of gold, jade, pearls, emerald rhinoceros and elephants, the embroidery of gauze and satin, and the yamen made of various strange utensils. "Li Jie can be regarded as a talented person if he can achieve the position of general supervisor. He can be regarded as making the best use of him when he is promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. It's just that he has been promoted so fast, will others have any criticism? Never mind. Anyway, it was the old man Xu who proposed it, so let him take the blame..." Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi felt relieved.

The two talked about something and nothing, and time passed quickly.Both of them talked very happily. After all, each gets what he needs, which can be regarded as a win-win situation.Lu Chengqi asked about the operation of the cabinet, and Xu Chongguang answered them one by one.There is nothing to hide about this, as long as Lu Chengqi lifts his foot, he can go directly from the Chuigong Hall to the Wende Hall. How the cabinet works, he wants to know at any time.

Lu Chengqi looked at the sky and said, "Xu Qing has a heavy workload, so I won't keep you. I hope Xu Qing will take care of her health, and I still need you, Xu's chief assistant, to assist me!"

Xu Chongguang was "moved" and said: "Your Majesty loves you so much, and the old minister will definitely assist you with your heart!" The two of them competed in acting skills, and on the surface they both put a lot of effort into it, but in fact they despised themselves for being so hypocritical.Xu Chongguang has no choice but to be hypocritical. If he wants to grab more power, he must first paralyze Lu Chengqi, and let Lu Chengqi relax his vigilance before he can obtain the power he dreams of and realize his ambitions.

And Lu Chengqi wanted to curry favor with Xu Chongguang, the old man who was lifted up by him, if even he didn't support him, then the officials might secretly confront Lu Chengqi.Lu Chengqi absolutely didn't want to see this situation. When the courtiers he could trust hadn't climbed to this position, the necessary win over was indispensable.

After Xu Chongguang came out of the Chui Gong Palace, he still had the same deep appearance on the outside, but he was very happy in his heart.Li Jie was the only talent he discovered when he was the chief examiner.Born in a family of officials in the past dynasties, he has been influenced by his family since he was a child, and he is eager to learn and talented.He is good at calligraphy, painting, especially carpentry, and has devoted himself to the study of garden architecture for many years. He can be called a master-level figure.Li Jie is not only unique in architecture, but also has extensive research in geography, history, writing, music and other aspects.As for his favorite garden buildings, Li Jie is familiar with all kinds of wooden components, roof trusses, sculptures, color paintings, decorations, etc. The engineering drawings, sub-component drawings and general drawings of various buildings such as brickwork, tile work, mud work, color painting, brick work and kiln work are all drawn vividly.I am afraid that the earliest people who used the bird's-eye view method to paint were not Zhang Zeduan's "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", but these ancient architectural masters.

Xu Chongguang is very satisfied with this disciple, and thinks that his only shortcoming is that he is too honest, so honest that he has nothing to say.During the time of the first emperor, he asked the general who was in the prison who could repair the Yanfu Palace.All because Yanfu Palace has never been repaired since it was completed in the previous dynasty.In the general prison, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.At that time, Li Jie was not a person in the prison, but a small eighth-rank practitioner, just a casual official, a petty official who didn't even have a real job.Hearing that the late emperor was looking for someone who could repair Yanfu Palace, he begged to see His Majesty, and volunteered to say that he could repair it, but he needed the late emperor's support.The first emperor was very surprised and asked him what to do if he couldn't repair it well. Li Jie gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to use the head of the item as a guarantee. If I can't finish it, Your Majesty can take my head!" The former emperor laughed loudly. "I only want Yanfu Palace, why do I want your head? You can go to repair it, even if it is acceptable, I will not blame you!"

With this guarantee, Li Jie really let go.In just three months, the Yanfu Palace, which had been a bit of a disastrous failure, was repaired like a new building.When Emperor Yuanshou visited Yanfu Palace in person, he was full of praise when he saw such a beautiful scenery.Li Jie is indeed capable, the Yanfu Palace is still as big as before, but many small pavilions and pavilions have been added, located among the green trees and red flowers, in a well-arranged pattern.

Emperor Yuanshou was a well-cultivated emperor in art. Immediately, Yubi Qin bestowed the east gate of Yanfu Palace as Chenhui, and the west gate as Lize.The main hall is Yanfu and Ruizhu.The halls on the east side were named Yiqing, Huining, Chengping, Ruimo, Ninghe, Kunyu and Qunyu successively.The pavilions were named Huifu, Baoqiong, Pantao, Chunjin, Dieqiong, Fenfang, Liyu, Hanxiang, Fuyun, Yangai, Cuibao, Qianying, Yunjin, Lanxun, Picking Jade, Fanying, Xue Xiang, Pifang, Qianhua, Qionghua, Wenqi, Jiangye, Qionghua, Luqi, Yaobi, Qingyin, Qiuxiang, Congyu, Fuyu, Jiangyun.In the north of Huining Hall, there is a hill made of stones. There is a hall and two pavilions built on the mountain, named Cuiwei Hall, Yungui Pavilion, and Layer Pavilion.

Near Ninghe Hall, there are two small pavilions, named Yuying and Yujian by Emperor Yuanshou.Back against the city wall, there is a small earth slope with apricot trees planted on it, named Xinggang, with Maoting Pavilion and Xiuzhu next to it, which has a unique wildness.The small pavilion on the right side of the palace was loved by Emperor Yuanshou, and he wrote "Yanchun Pavilion" in his own handwriting. There is a small round pool next to it, and the stone is used as a pavilion, so it is named Feihua.There is also a lake that was expanded by dug springs. In the lake, an embankment was built to connect the pavilion, and a beam was erected on the embankment to enter the lake. Many fish were raised in it. Emperor Yuanshou loved fishing here most.On the beams, there are Maoting gate, Hezhuang gate, Luyan gate and Kongcui gate.From here to the Lizemen area, there are beautiful flowers and famous trees, and the clusters are distinguished, and the seclusion is like a creation made in heaven.

Li Jie's ability can be seen from this, and what is even more commendable is that this repair cost only seven-tenths of the budget, and it only cost more than [-] coins.Emperor Yuanshou was very happy, and asked Li Jie what reward he wanted, Li Jie said sincerely: "I don't want to be a monk, I want to be a general and a prisoner."

Emperor Yuanshou was very surprised. Most courtiers would not dare to ask for an official like this, but Li Jie said it out of nowhere.Seeing Li Jie's young face with clear eyes like water, Emperor Yuanshou laughed suddenly and said, "The general supervisor can't even repair a Yanfu Palace, but he made a monk achieve great merit. I have always Praise is that you can use your talents, why can't you set a precedent this time? Li Qing is so capable, it is really a shame to be a professional apprentice. I will make you a general and a young prisoner. If you make great achievements again, I will not hesitate to reward you! "

Ever since, Li Jie has been promoted from the eighth-rank trainee to the sixth-rank general as a young prisoner in one step, enviing many colleagues.But I don't have the skills of other people, so I have no choice but to be jealous.Later, Li Jie presided over the construction of a brand-new Guozijian, and Emperor Yuanshou looked at it differently.Asking him again what reward he wanted, Li Jie said honestly: "I am already very satisfied as a general and young prisoner. If Your Majesty gives you another reward, I will be ashamed to accept it."

Emperor Yuanshou liked Li Jie even more, and soon found a reason to promote him directly to be a general prisoner from the fourth rank.Since then, the story of Li Jie becoming a high-ranking official as a craftsman has spread like wildfire, and everyone has spoken out about the upright Li Jiangzuo.

From these few incidents, it can be seen that Li Jie is such an honest person, he is not greedy for merit, and works diligently. Which boss does not like such a subordinate?Li Jie's official position has been promoted again and again, which illustrates this truth.
