In fact, it was not just Huang Laosi's imagination. Not only was he curious, but the ministers were also curious.
It's not just one thing that Taowu Hall stands still in the violent storm. The main reason is that the "construction party" was banging and banging every day. This side was in the Shang Dynasty, and the other side was banging and banging. That's fine.
The rules that should be broken are almost broken. Shouting, lighting open fires, building brick kilns, the formality of the palace is slowly falling away. Every day, the courtiers come to check in, and it does not feel solemn. It feels like there is a market going on next door.
the illusion.
Under the leadership of Huang Laosi, the ministers left the Yizheng Hall and flocked to Taowu Hall.
The people from the Ministry of Industry walked at the front, whispering to each other.
Hong Haishang always inadvertently looked back at Chu Wensheng, who had his head lowered, and smiled sadly.
He can be 100% sure that Taowu Hall was never built according to regulations, otherwise it would not be so "strong".
Palaces are like silk stockings. The more beautiful they are, the more empty they are, and the less resistant they are to disaster.
After the Emperor ascended the throne, he changed many rules, including in civil construction.
Building a house is very particular. The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, etc., what materials are used, what the inside looks like, and whether it is strong or not are secondary. The main thing is that it must comply with "metaphysics" and "luck". All things in the world
They are divided into yin and yang and five elements, including work and materials.
When it came to repairing the palace, no matter how courageous Hiro Haishang was, he would not dare to cut corners and cut corners, but his professional skills were actually not good enough.
Of course, people who are not good at business never think of themselves as outsiders. Hong Haishang thought that he, an "expert", didn't even understand it, let alone Chu Wensheng, a pure outsider.
Noticing the gloomy and pitiful gaze of Henhai Shang, Chu Wensheng just glanced at it slightly, as unmoving as an old monk with his penis in his stomach.
However, Liu Xun, Minister of Industry, was like a mourner.
After working hard in the officialdom for so many years, Liu Xun knew very well that it didn't matter whether Taowudian violated the regulations. The emperor just found any excuse. The new emperor wanted to establish the Ministry of Industry.
It would be difficult for a minister, or even the lieutenants below, to leave the palace without leaving the palace today.
Thinking of this, Liu Xun took a step behind, walked side by side with Chu Wensheng, and spoke quietly.
"Your Majesty will definitely question you today, Wu An, no matter what happens when you return to the palace later, and no matter how other ministers criticize you..."
"Don't make any noise. The Ministry of Industry has reached this point, and I can't escape the blame. Since it's already like this, I'm not afraid of taking more responsibility. There must be something wrong with the Taowu Hall your son built, and I can't blame it either.
Just put it on your body and say...just say this drawing is from me..."
"No!" Chu Wensheng grabbed Liu Xun's sleeve and said with firm eyes, "Everyone is responsible for the work. Your Majesty will convict you, and your subordinates will bear the responsibility!"
"Confused, confused."
Liu Xun shook his head, said nothing, and quickly caught up with Huang Laosi again.
After walking for a while, everyone finally arrived in front of Taowu Hall.
As soon as we stopped, everyone, including Huang Laosi, realized something was wrong.
Huang Laosi looked at his feet with confusion on his face: "This place seems to be..."
Looking back at the feet of the ministers behind him, Huang Laosi said uncertainly: "It seems to be a little higher?"
The ministers looked at their feet one after another and began to pretend to be experts, shaking their heads one by one. Words like maybe, like, should, maybe, etc. all popped up.
"Your Majesty!" Hong Haishang's eyes lit up: "It's a bit high, and there are violations. How can the side hall be raised higher? There are violations."
Huang Laosi nodded slightly.
If you don’t know anything else, this height is indeed like this. The side hall should not be higher than the main hall, especially the political hall.
This kind of thing can be big or small. If it's a big deal, it's disrespectful. If it's a small thing, it's negligent. It all depends on how Huang Laosi defines it in the end.
"Sun An."
"The old slave is here."
"When the Taowu Hall was being repaired, who supervised the work?"
"Chu Qing, son of Master Chu."
Huang Laosi said angrily: "I'm asking you who is supervising you in the palace."
The old eunuch was a little confused.
No one is supervising you, didn't you say so? Chu Qing was so excited.
"Uh..." The old eunuch had an idea: "You led the general from the East Palace to return the child to General Tong."
"Call."
"yes."
The old eunuch called a young eunuch, who ran to find Tong Gui.
Just as Huang Laosi was about to enter the palace to take a look, Guan Haishang, who was whispering to a group of officials from the Ministry of Works, shouted: "Your Majesty, it's so high. Taowu Hall is so high. It's obviously a side hall, but it's almost at the same level as the Yizheng Hall."
, Violation of regulations, this is violation of regulations.”
Huang Laosi frowned and looked at Chu Wensheng with an incomprehensible expression.
The emperor doesn't care whether the height of Taowu Palace is illegal, he only cares whether Chu Wensheng and Chu Qing did it on purpose.
If it is unintentional, it is harmless, but if it is intentional, he will be very angry.
Chu Wensheng originally didn't want to explain what he wanted to do, but the emperor didn't like him anyway.
Lao Chu also saw that today the emperor would definitely have an operation on the Ministry of Industry, and his official robe should be taken off today.
But who would have thought that Wei Changfeng, the Minister of Household Affairs, suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, I think this is excusable."
The ministers were stunned. Why did Mr. Wei get involved in the Ministry of Works affairs?
But after all, Lao Wei's reputation and status were there, so no one said anything.
Wei Changfeng said with a smile: "There is no accumulation of water around the Taowu Hall. If it had been lower, I'm afraid the rain would have already entered the hall."
Huang Laosi nodded slightly: "That's true."
Heng Haishang said quickly: "Master Wei, if you violate the rules, you will violate the rules. How can you..."
Before he finished speaking, a person stood up behind Wei Changfeng, it was Qiu Wanshan, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance.
Qiu Wanshan said coldly: "Sir, let's not mention that the matter of violating the regulations has not yet been finalized. Even so, is it possible that your majesty's fifteen hundred coins were wasted in vain? Newly built palaces, such as Qilin Palace, Nanxun Palace, etc.
Why build Taowu Hall when the whole hall is flooded with rain water?"
Han Hai was still confused.
What does the affairs of our Ministry of Works have to do with your Ministry of Household Affairs? Why are you two standing up to say good things to Chu Wensheng?
For a while, Hiro Haishang didn't dare to hold on to this matter any longer.
He certainly couldn't afford to offend Wei Changfeng, not even Qiu Wanshan, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
I have to say that Hong Haishang's choice was the right one, because almost as soon as Qiu Wanshan finished speaking, all the officials from the Ministry of Revenue agreed.
"Xiaoguan thinks it makes sense for Mr. Chu to build such a building. No matter how beautiful the palace is, the gold and jade cannot be lost outside..."
"Master Chu is worthy of being the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. This Taowu Palace is so solid that it has not been damaged by wind and rain..."
"Yes, yes, Lord Chu, this palace is well built..."
Liu Xun was confused and subconsciously looked back at Chu Wensheng.
I can't figure out why everyone from the Ministry of Revenue all said good things to Chu Wensheng?
He must not be able to figure it out, because he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, not the Ministry of Revenue.
If one day he is interested in arithmetic and goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs to take an arithmetic class, he will figure it out.
Not only Liu Xun, Huang Laosi was also a little confused.
How come Chu Wensheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Works, is still so popular among the Ministry of Household Affairs?
