In March, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. Even in Chang'an, which is in the north, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and everything is reviving. Everything is full of vitality.
Zhang Xiu is now dealing with government affairs, but also a little leisure. Even though there are a lot of things, they are shared by the cabinet, so Zhang Xiu is happy to take advantage of the early spring and even take her family on a spring outing.
When Zhang Xiu was idle, Sima Yi and Du Ji were busy.
With the full support of the Ministry of industry, the Ministry of accounts and the Bank of Daqin, the main roads of Chang'an began to harden and all began to lay cement roads. Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now, and the cement is easier to dry after laying than it is hard to dry in winter.
On this day, Zhang Xiu was reviewing government affairs.
When Zhang Xiu was busy, Wang Yue came in and bowed, "Your Majesty, Mr. Sima, please see me."
"Xuan"
Zhang Xiu gave an order.
After a while, Sima Yi entered. He bowed to Zhang Xiu and stood at the bottom.
Zhang Xiu said: "Zhongda, you are too busy to see people now. What's the important thing about coming to see me now? "
Sima Yi said with a straight face: "to report back to your majesty, there is indeed an important matter that needs your Majesty's presence."
Zhang Xiu said, "what's the matter?"
Sima Yi replied, "we started to pave and harden roads in Chang'an. The main roads along the way are mainly the original clay roads. However, in some places, it can be changed. So for some roads, we occupied some land, and after making compensation, we got through the roads. But this time, I met a group of graves. This group of tombs belongs mainly to the Yang family of Hongnong, that is, to the old Dean Yang Biao. Now we need to move graves to make the road smooth. "
Zhang Xiu frowned.
People in this era attach great importance to the graves of their ancestors.
The body hair skin, suffers the parents, dare not injure. Similarly, ancestral graves are even more important. Not to mention the geomantic omen of ancestral graves, just a word of filial piety is enough to make countless people dare not move ancestral graves.
Therefore, it is extremely troublesome to move graves.
Zhang Xiu said: "when it comes to the ancestral tombs of the Yang family, do we have to move them? Isn't it possible to take a detour? "
"No way!"
Sima Yi shook her head and said, "now the hardening of roads has been pushed to the vicinity of the tomb of Yang Jiazu. If we change the direction now, it will not only cost more materials and money, but also the road will not be as smooth as it used to be. The road from Chang'an to the counties and counties in the Sili area was decided after careful deliberation between Pei Chen and Du Ji. This can not be changed without authorization. "
Zhang Xiu said, "did you go to see Yang Biao?"
Sima Yi said, "see you!"
Zhang xiudao: "what does Yang Biao say?"
Sima Yi replied: "Mr. Yang said that it involves state affairs and the country. He himself agrees in principle. However, Yang Gong did not stand in his way. But there are countless people in the Yang family, and even many people in the branch of the Yang family. We have to persuade these people, but he will not. At most, he doesn't make trouble. Pei Chen has arranged for people to go to Hongnong Yang's house to lobby, but in the end, no one agrees, and they all bite to death, unwilling to move the grave. "
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu fell into silence.
Moving graves, even if it is placed in later generations, is also a rather thorny matter. Although this does not involve the law, but only the private morality, in fact, it is still difficult to operate.
It's not an easy thing to deal with.
Zhang Xiu said, "have you ever dealt with it yourself?"
Sima Yi said: "in reply to your majesty, I went to Hongnong Yang's house in person. But the problem is that the Yang family is not willing to cooperate from beginning to end. Yang's attitude is very firm, would rather die than move the grave. If we want to pave the road directly from the site of the ancestral tomb, then the people of the Yang family will be killed at the site of the tomb. "
After a pause, Sima Yi continued: "such a strong move, that I can't stop it. Although the minister is eloquent, there is no room for maneuver in the Yang family. Even I don't know what to do. The minister told Du Ji about it. After consulting with him, Du Ji was helpless. "
Zhang Xiu sighed: "the family is the first in the world. It's very normal for the Yang family not to move their graves. Zhong Da, I want to ask you something. If the road construction involves the ancestral Tomb of your Sima family, what do you do with Sima Yi? "
Sima Yi frowned slightly.
It's hard to answer. If he says without thinking, the Sima family is willing to cooperate, it's a bit perfunctory.
It would be selfish to refuse.
What's the reason that you want others to move graves, but you don't want to cooperate?
Sima Yi took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Your Majesty, if it comes to the ancestral tombs of Sima family, in front of the state, I will persuade Sima family to agree to move the tombs."
Zhang Xiu said: "I believe you!"
Hoo!!
Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the current situation, he can only say so now. Although Sima Yi will definitely make a decision and agree if he does, it's definitely not pleasant.Zhang Xiu's eyes turned, but her heart was thinking about her own strategy.
It's not easy to deal with.
The ancients paid the most attention to their ancestors. A person who discards his ancestors will surely be rejected. Therefore, if this issue is not handled properly, it will lead to turmoil far beyond the land reform.
Land reform involves countless people, but in fact, it does not involve some family issues.
When it comes to family issues, it's complicated.
Zhang Xiu takes a deep breath. According to his nature, it's better to uproot the ancestral grave of the Yang family, because this time, if we don't uproot the ancestral grave of the Yang family, we will encounter similar things the next time. With the ancestral grave of the Yang family as a precedent, it will be difficult to enforce the law in the future.
The construction of roads connecting the four directions, involving the diversion, will inevitably encounter the graves of the people. If we can't carry out the law, we can't do anything well in the end.
So Zhang Xiu hesitated.
On the one hand, it was the stability of the imperial court; on the other hand, it was the construction of roads.
Both of them should be taken into account by Zhang Xiu. After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu didn't come up with a solution. She immediately arranged for people to inform Jia Xu, Xu Shu and other cabinet members to discuss the matter.
One man's power is short!
There are a lot of people in the cabinet. With their wisdom, they may be able to come up with solutions.
This is Zhang Xiu's solution.
After a short period of time, Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Li Ru and others entered together. After bowing to Zhang Xiu one by one, they took their seats. Everyone's eyes were on Sima Yi first, because now Sima Yi is a busy man, more busy than many people in the cabinet. Finally, he looked at Zhang Xiu and waited for her instructions.
Zhang Xiu directly talked about the problems encountered in road construction, and then said, "now it comes to the ancestral Tomb of the Yang family. How do you think this matter should be solved in order to deal with it satisfactorily?"
