"Swiftly pass by and look down, I feel that the present is only the past, and I keep my thoughts in my mouth." Presented to Liu Kun
Huayang Street, also called Hengmen Street, is the north-south trunk road that runs through Chang'an City. It passes through Dongxishi, Beigong, Beiquejiadi, and finally intersects with Zhichengmen Street at the Beigong Gate of Weiyang Palace.
A group of simple and low-key cars slowly drove out from the Beigong Gate and drove to the north of Beique Jiadi. There was an abandoned ruins of the palace. The original bricks, tiles, wood and stones had been picked up by the nearby Li Shu many years ago.
. This palace used by Emperor Xiaowu to fight cocks and lackeys, now only has a few rammed loess platforms and intermittent palace walls. If it hadn't been for the imperial court to re-invest in Changle, Gui Palace and other places in Chang'an City in the past two years,
If the ruins are protected and valued, Beigong may still be a refuge for those refugees.
The driver stopped here for a moment, and someone opened a corner of the rush-woven curtain, and it seemed like a pair of eyes were peering through the abandoned palace, where no one was watching, and no one dared to trespass inside.
"Beigong, Guigong, Changle Palace, totaling half of Chang'an City." The emperor opened the curtain with his own hands, and the black sleeves slid down a little along his sloping arms, revealing a section.
A wrist with clear joints. He looked at the Beigong not far away in the car, and whispered, with infinite memories and regrets in his eyes: "It's not an option to keep it abandoned like this. It's like Mingguang Palace.
, exchange old bottles for new wine, and find another use for it.”
In addition to the demolition of Mingguang Palace and the construction of new Luli neighborhoods, the main core area was transformed into Taixue. Today, there are more than 2,000 people in Taixue. According to the academic system and methods established by the emperor, the number of students admitted in the third year of Chuping was
The first batch of students have not yet graduated. If we include the 1,000 newly recruited students in September this year, there will be more than 3,000 students. These more than 3,000 students are not engaged in production, and their families are more or less
Some surplus capital can greatly promote the development of surrounding businesses and handicraft industries.
This can be seen just by looking at the rising housing prices in Xuanpingli and the hundreds of thousands of commercial taxes paid by Taixue City last year.
If it weren't for the frequent wars and sluggish production of goods in various places today, and the common people in Guanzhong who had just breathed a sigh of relief would not have any extra money for transactions, Zhao Wenzhen was going to propose to the emperor to open a new school market near Taixue and build houses for rent.
Hearing that the emperor's tone didn't sound like he was talking to himself, Zhao Wen immediately had a few thoughts in his mind and pretended to refuse: "Changle Palace was built by Emperor Gao of our dynasty, who ordered Marquis Fou to renovate Qinli Palace. Throughout the dynasties, it has been
They are all the residence of the Queen Mother, how can we use them for other purposes? Please give your Majesty your careful consideration."
The emperor originally had no idea of touching the Changle Palace. After all, it was one of the three palaces of the Han Dynasty. It was not as significant as the Mingguang Palace. But when Zhao Wen deliberately pushed the idea far-fetched, his train of thought couldn't help but be led astray. He then thought: "Yes."
Yes, it was originally the Xingle Palace of the Qin Dynasty. I don’t know if the bricks and tiles from that time can still be found in the past four to five hundred years.”
This is really a feeling of nostalgia for the past. The Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, which were so powerful at that time, all built a large number of magnificent palaces here. But in the end they inevitably turned into dust, which is enough to serve as a warning.
If the emperor's theory of the rise and fall of the emperor cooperated, it would be a good talk if it was spread out. So Zhao Wen thought about the wording and said softly: "The poem says that Yin Jian is not far away, in the era of Queen Xia. This is what it meant.
When looking at the palaces of the previous dynasty today, we should also be careful because of the rise and fall of the previous life."
It was natural for the emperor to be happy to meet him: "The rise and fall of past dynasties should indeed serve as a warning to those who come after us. Nowadays, there is turmoil in all directions, and the people are uneasy. Two hundred years of old maladies have persisted, and world affairs are in disarray. If we want to
To change "chaos" into order, you must have the courage to reform the past and create new things. But if you want to benefit the world, why should you stick to the policies followed by the past dynasties? Confucius said to choose the good ones and follow them, and to change the bad ones. Although the original intention is
It’s not a bad idea to talk about personal self-cultivation and apply it here.”
Ancient scholars like to quote classics when talking. For example, Zhao Wen and the emperor quoted directly from classics, and it was the simplest process. As for those who played deeply, they would not only quote directly, but also know how to quote from classics.
By quoting classics in argot, puns, imagery, etc., one can not only express one's own meaning in a subtle and profound way, but also show one's rich knowledge reserve, commonly known as dropping a book bag.
Back then, Emperor Xiaoming advocated Confucianism and even went to White Tiger Temple to give lectures on the Confucian classics. What the emperor is doing now has precedents. Moreover, Zhao Wen was used to the emperor's new interpretations of ancient people's remarks and ancient books from time to time, so he did not let go.
Go to your heart.
What the emperor wanted to renovate was actually the North Palace in front of him. In his view, the Gewuyuan and the Civil Affairs Department, which were now officially affiliated with Taixue, had gradually matured in structure and had sound personnel. It was time for them to separate and establish separate branches. From now on.
Gewuyuan specializes in technological innovation and research and development, the Department of Civil Affairs focuses on cultivating the political quality of officials, and Taixue has become a pure academic center to cultivate talents.
Although the area of Beigong is not as vast as Mingguang Palace and Changle Palace, it can be regarded as making full use of the resources for departments such as Gewuyuan with a small number of people. However, Zhao Wen was so partial,
Although the emperor did not give up the idea, he was not in a hurry to issue the edict and implement it so early. He had to survive the drought during this period, the country had surplus wealth, and the Gewuyuan could produce some eye-catching achievements.
With this thought in mind, the emperor had already lowered the car curtain, and his smooth sleeves covered his wrists again as he closed his hands. He also looked away from the outside of the car. Seeing that the emperor was back in the car again.
Sitting upright, Zhao Wen immediately understood and urged Feng Che Lang Wang to continue moving forward.
The dilapidated Beigong gradually backed away from the car and disappeared. Gradually, the vehicle began to drive from the deserted palace area to the lively area.
In the bright spring sun, the old trees on both sides of the road are covered with velvet yellow and green. Looking from a distance, they seem to be covered with a veil as thin as smoke. The breeze blows, and the street cake shops and wine shops are hung under the eaves, with bamboo poles.
The yellow and green flags on the road fluttered slightly. Even though the weather was unseasonably hot, there were still a lot of pedestrians on the road. From time to time, there were children chasing after each other and laughing, and there was the sound of flowers being sold in pavilions in the deep lanes.
There is a unique spring vitality everywhere.
I don't know whether it was the change in the atmosphere, or the fact that this journey relieved the boredom in his heart, but the emperor felt that his mood was much more comfortable than when he was standing alone on the Bailiang platform just now, staring at the sun with Mu Shunqian. He
He was refreshed, looked out with his eyes, and suddenly said: "I have been to this village incognito before."
Zhao Wen looked at the emperor's rare lively look with great interest, so he looked carefully in the direction pointed by the emperor, and replied: "Bei Huanli, this is Xiyin Street. Going further north is Hengmen.
, there is Wei Bridge right outside the door.”
He suddenly remembered that in the third year of Chuping's reign, the emperor was here in submission and was attacked by a group of people with unknown origins, and almost suffered an accident. Thinking about it now, Zhao Wen was already frightened and deliberately avoided this embarrassing incident in the past.
, but seeing the emperor's unconcerned look on his face, he felt unsure of himself.
The emperor gave Zhao Wen a funny look and said generously: "Although the white dragon fish suit is easy to be fooled, it can also observe the people's sentiments closely and know the sufferings of the people."
Having said that, Zhao Wen did not dare to let the emperor get off the bus in the busy city again. Fortunately, the emperor had no such intention, so he drove the car without stopping. After leaving Chang'an, he turned a corner at the city gate and stopped.
Beside farmland.
Zhao Wen got out of the car and took a general look around. He suddenly felt confident that this might be the public sentiment that the emperor wanted to see with his own eyes today. 11
