When people were quiet, Li Di left the palace of Wei Wang.
The sixth prince closed his eyes and sat silently, when suddenly a servant knocked on the door, "Come in."
The servant said in a low voice, "The slave just went to Xu's house, Mr. Xu, the situation is not good."
"What's wrong?"
The little servant stopped talking.
"Come on!" the sixth prince said angrily.
"Eldest Young Master Xu's life has also been smashed..." The little servant said with his nose tight, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to have children in the future."
"It makes no sense!" The sixth prince got up suddenly, "Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace."
In the Anhua Hall, the green smoke curled up, Xu Hou sat on the square chair of peach lacquer wood, while rubbing his temples, he said: "Here you come?"
The sixth prince said: "Mother, what happened to Xu Wei? What did the father say?"
"What can I do?" Empress Xu slowly opened her eyes: "Your uncle went to see His Majesty yesterday, but His Majesty handed over the case to the Ministry of Punishment. Look, at the end of this matter, we can only send a scapegoat. "
The sixth prince said angrily: "Xu Wei has no children, and he doesn't have to think about it in the future... If there is no answer to this matter, how will the Xu family gain a foothold in Beijing in the future?"
"Then do you know who Xu Wei went to see before he was attacked?"
"My son heard that she is the third girl of the Shen family."
Empress Xu raised her eyebrows, "You didn't hear it all. He not only saw Shen San, but also the eldest princess."
The sixth prince was stunned.
Thinking about Lu Yan's attitude through Princess Jing'an, the sixth prince couldn't help but wonder: "Mother means... This matter is not the Marquis of Changping, but the Lu family's actions? It doesn't make sense, my son has planted so many in Beijing. Eyeliner, I've never heard of any friendship between the Shen family and the Lu family! Even if there is Sui Yu in the middle, auntie shouldn't come forward."
"That's what I don't understand. But if you think about it badly, if the Lu family did this, your uncle would have to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Forget it, we'll wait for Weier. Let’s talk about it when you wake up.” Empress Xu rubbed her left shoulder and said, “The East Palace has been restless recently, can you explain to Li Di about tomorrow’s affairs?”
"Don't worry, Empress, tomorrow morning, he will invite him to eastern Yudong." The sixth prince gritted his teeth and said, "If you lose a penal department, this ministry of labor will never be lost again."
The sixth prince coughed twice.
Queen Xu said: "Okay, you just came back from Luoyang, so go back and rest earlier."
The flood intensified, and the sage had to choose one person to serve as the river guard. The Xu family convened aides to talk for a long time, and the prince was not idle. Obviously, they were all preparing for the morning tomorrow.
Tonight in Chang'an, the night is like the rising of the bright moon on the sea, dragging the waves.
The hustle and bustle of the West City came to an abrupt end with the sound of the murmuring drums.
Lu Yan bent down and got into the carriage. Yang Zong was about to ask if he wanted to go to the little lady's place, only to hear Lu Yan say, "Go to Zhou Mansion."
Tonight's Master Lu, between the future father-in-law and the future wife, did not hesitate to choose the future father-in-law.
—
In the seventeenth year of Yuanqing, on the 28th day of the seventh month, it was a quarter of a century.
The bright star is tall, and the sky is far away. The Huaiwu was dark, and the crows in the city went away for a while.
The evening fog has not been collected, and the palace walls are weeping willows. Officials from the fifth rank and above walked outside the Xuanzheng Hall and stood in two rows.
The sound of the sword and pendant followed the jade step, and the clothes and body were like incense burners. The left and right historians were separated from the case of Jiaxiang, and the hundred officials began to play.
Censor Hong started to read out the recent situation of the disaster with an express paper in his hand. Every time he read a sentence, the official's heart twitched, and he was ruined with a secret message.
The big breach in the Yellow River this time has not only brought disaster to eastern Henan and southern Hebei, but now even large tracts of land in the northwest of Shandong have been submerged. Don't count on it.
Hong Yushi closed the book.
In less than a while, Zhongshuling and Zuo Pu Shewenzhang took the lead in accusing the Ministry of Industry of inaction.
Left Prime Minister Xu Bolin retorted with his colleagues.
come on!
A group of old foxes had a raging fire in their eyes.
Soon, Hong Cheng, the censor doctor under the Prince's family, Zheng Yong, the Minister of War, and the Sixth Prince began to sarcastically and satirically.
On the surface, Yan Yan is smiling, but in fact, every sentence is pierced into the heart.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this morning, it has become a game between the prince and the king of Wei again.
The irrelevant people all shrank their necks, looked down at the ground, and silently counted the time for the next court.
Emperor Cheng Yuan's face was ashen, and he slammed the memorial in his hand onto the table with a bang. "I, the people of the Jin Dynasty, suffered and suffered outside, I was worried, and I didn't sleep for several nights. What else can you do, you ministers and pillars of the country, other than saying these stupid words!"
The emperor was angry, the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, everyone shuddered, and the hall was silent.
At this moment, Li Di stepped forward and said, "My minister, I would like to go to eastern Henan to control the flood."
Emperor Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What's Li Shilang's plan?"
"The minister believes that the construction of dikes should also be the most important task in water control."
Hearing that the embankment was being repaired again, Emperor Cheng Yuan's expression became dull.
Everyone told him that the embankment was built, but there was less money allocated to the embankment by the officials? The effect? Repairing the collapse, repairing the collapse, is no different from the bottomless pit.
Emperor Cheng Yuan was noncommittal and looked at the ministers with cold eyes.
His Royal Highness the Prince stepped forward and said, "My son has something that he would like to give to His Majesty."
Emperor Cheng Yuan said lightly: "What?"
The prince said: "My son went to Dali Temple and Prison two days ago and met Shen Wenqi, a sinner. Shen Wenqi knew that he was guilty and shameless, so he asked his son to present these two books to His Majesty, a copy of It is a comprehensive overview of the river defense, and a book for the two rivers."
Hong Yushi spoke up, "Overview of the river defense... See you in the two rivers... I have never heard of these two books."
The prince replied: "Both of these two books were compiled by the criminal minister Shen Wenqi in prison, and this palace has never read them."
The word "criminal minister" was bitten by the prince very hard.
As soon as the words fell, the sixth prince and the left minister Xu Berlin couldn't help but tighten their eyes.
Emperor Cheng Yuan took it and looked down.
Take a look at the trash in the hall who only know how to say some arrogant words, and then look at the two books in his hand. If he says that his heart is unmoved, it must be false.
The words above, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a lifelong effort.
The sincere heart jumped on the paper, causing the emperor's thumb to tremble.
Lu Yan raised his eyes and knew that the prince's move was sent to the emperor's heart.
If it is said that the public anger in eastern Henan is a fire, then Shen Wenqi's two books and the "Heavenly Master" he found are the dry wood that will burn the fire more vigorously.
The timing was right now, Lu Yan took a step to the right and said solemnly: "I remember, in the fourteenth year of Yuanqing, the Baimao dike of the Yellow River also burst once. After suffering one after another, only this Baimao dyke is safe. Now the people's anger is uncontrollable, and people are panicking. The minister suggested that it is better to let Shen Wenqi temporarily serve as the river defense envoy to manage the flood. "
There was an uproar in the heart.
It has to be said that compared to the sixth prince and the people under the prince's family, Lu Yan's words are obviously much heavier. There is no other reason. Jing Zhaoyin is directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty.
The faces of Li Di and Xu Bolin became very ugly.
The Lu family will mention that Shen Wenqi is in the early stage, this is not within their expectations at all!
Xu Bolin made a look.
Tai Changcheng of the Sixth Prince's family immediately said: "Although Shen Wenqi has merit, he must think about why he was imprisoned? How many people died when the West Canal of the city collapsed! Is he guilty in the end! The minister thought, no!"
As soon as Tai Changcheng's words fell, the wind direction obviously changed.
When the two sides were still arguing, Emperor Cheng Yuan rubbed his wrench twice with his thumb, and said solemnly, "What do you think?"
Sui Yu, the minister of the household, took the lead and took a step to the right: "I think that although Shen Wenqi is guilty, he is also a commoner of Dajin. As a commoner of Dajin, if there is talent in water control, the court is in trouble, and he should serve."
As soon as the words "guilty" came out, Xu Bolin's heart sank.
Shen Wenqi's crime was determined by the sage Jinkou Yuyan, and if he wanted to overturn the case, it would be equivalent to pulling out the tiger's beard! But it would be much easier if you were guilty and made meritorious deeds...
As soon as Sui Yu's words came out, Baiguan couldn't help but change his face.
what's the matter today
These one or two, is it difficult... Is it really possible to get Shen Wenqi out of the prison in Dali Temple
While everyone was watching, Jingzhao Shaoyin Sun Xu took a step to the right, and said without rushing: "The words of the waiter are reasonable, and the minister agrees."
Meng Wei followed closely and said, "This minister also agrees."
Seeing that, Lu Ting and Lu Ye from the Zhenguo Gong's Mansion also came out one after another, and said in unison, "Chen, seconded."
The Marquis of Changping took a step to the left and said, "This minister also agrees."
With the lead, there will be more followers.
The children of the aristocratic families who were friends with Duke Zhenguo and the Marquis of Xuanping came out one after another.
Li Di clenched his fists, his pale face gradually cracked.
The left and right eyelids twitched wildly, and he was about to open his mouth when he saw Zhou Shuan, the minister of Dali Temple, also took a step to the right, and said sternly, "I also agree with this minister."
Although Zhou Shuan did not have the foundation of an aristocratic family in Beijing, his reputation among the children of the poor family was unmatched.
As soon as he opened his mouth, not only did all the officials of Dali Temple agree with him, but he also led some Qingliu in the court, and also shouted the word second.
The reason why Shen Wenqi was imprisoned, everyone has a ruler in their hearts.
Seeing this, the prince's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Shen Wenqi worked as Prince Zhongyun and Prince Zhan, and assisted the sick and weak for seven years. In October last year, he couldn't protect him and the Shen family. He already felt guilty. Today, he will never repeat the same mistakes.
The prince raised his eyes and said firmly, "My son agreed."
The prince opened his mouth, and the disciples of the prince, including Yushi Hong, the Minister of War, the Minister of Punishment, and the Minister of Punishment, also stood in line.
Under the general trend, some petty officials who disliked the Xu family also bowed down.
The second word, one after another, echoed in the Xuanzheng Hall...
Emperor Cheng Yuan looked at the two books in his hand, took a deep breath, and said as if he had made a decision: "Xuan Shen Wen Qi enters the hall."
Zhou Shuan gave Mu Shaoqing a look, "Go back to Dali Temple, hurry up." Mu Shaoqing nodded.
After half an hour, the door of Xuanzheng Hall slowly opened, and Shen Wenqi walked slowly under the gaze of Baiguan.
Looking back at the appearance of the Shen family daughter, you can guess how much Shen Wenqi provoked the heart of the little lady of Chang'an, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is more beautiful than Pan An.
The gray prison uniform was worn out, and the ten-month prison sentence made his temples completely white, and his once high-spirited eyes became tired and cloudy.
The former style is no longer there.
But the only thing that remained the same.
The appearance of him walking into the hall was like a day for ten years.
Loyalty to the liver and righteousness, has not changed.
He knelt down in the center of the hall, straightened his back, and said slowly, "Criminal Shen Wenqi pays homage to His Majesty."
Emperor Cheng Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, he tapped his knee with his finger, and after a while he said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Currently floods are flowing in eastern Henan, western Shandong, northern Jiangsu and other places, and the transportation of water between the north and the south is completely paralyzed. What do you think?" After saying that, Emperor Cheng Yuan handed the express newspaper and the book to the servant, "Show it to him. ."
Emperor Cheng Yuan's words were extremely natural, as if Shen Wenqi was still the Marquis of Yunyang in the past.
The prince had already explained the general situation in detail, but Shen Wenqi still read it carefully.
The sound of breathing all around seemed to freeze.
After a while, Shen Wenqi raised his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, if you want to control the flood, you must take the dike as the priority, but whether it is sparse, stored or drained, it must be adjusted according to local conditions. In my humble opinion, this flood is so serious, there is another important problem. "
Shen Wenqi coughed heavily and said, "No matter how you build the embankment, it will only cure the symptoms, not the root cause, because the root is not the embankment, but the sand. Only by preventing the sediment from flowing down is the foundation of river management."
"Have you made a decision in your mind?"
"Yes." Shen Wenqi said.
Emperor Cheng Yuan nodded thoughtfully, "The disaster is urgent, I ordered you to be the Hefang Envoy, set off tomorrow, and return early."
"The minister leads the order."
Look at these words, He Fangshi, there is no word for agency.
Li Di kept swallowing saliva.
Tai Changcheng said again: "Your Majesty! Last year, the Chengxi Canal burst, the water transportation was blocked, and the crops were flooded. If it happens again..."
"Enough!" Emperor Cheng Yuan interrupted him, and said unhurriedly: "Don't talk about what happened, don't remonstrate when it happened, and let it go." There is no need to persuade what happened, and don't pursue what happened in the past.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Bolin also said.
"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette." The Minister of Rites said.
Emperor Cheng Yuan poked the two books with his finger, gritted his teeth and said, "You write me a comprehensive overview of the river defense, and I will make this river defense envoy for you!"
The Minister of Rites nodded and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."
With a sound of dispersal, the ministers suddenly realized that the Shen family, the dying fish on the chopping block.
come to life.
