Chang’an’s First Beauty

When people were quiet, Li Di left the Wei Palace.

The six princes closed their eyes and sat in silence. Suddenly a small servant knocked on the door, "Go in."

The little servant whispered: "The minion went to Xu's house just now, Mr. Xu, things are not good."

"How bad?"

The little servant wanted to speak but stopped.

"Say it!" The Sixth Prince said angrily.

"Master Xu's lifeblood has also been smashed..." The young man said with his nose tight, "In the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have an heir."

"Unreasonable!" The Sixth Prince leaped up, "Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace."

The green smoke curled up in the Anhua Hall. Xu Hou sat on a square chair made of peach-lacquered wood, rubbing his temples, and said: "Here?"

The sixth prince said: "Mother, what happened to Xu Wei? How did the father say?"

"What can be done?" Empress Xu slowly opened her eyes: "Your uncle went to see your Majesty yesterday, but your Majesty handed over the case to the Department of Criminal Justice. Look at it. At the end of this matter, you can only send a dead ghost. "

The sixth prince said angrily: "Xu Wei has no children, so I don't have to think about it in the future...If there is no explanation about this matter, how can the Xu family gain a foothold in Beijing in the future?"

"Then do you know who Xu Wei met before the attack?"

"The son heard that it was the third girl from the Shen family."

Empress Xu raised her eyebrows, "You can't hear him fully. He not only saw Shen San, but also the princess."

The six princes were stunned.

After thinking about Lu Yan’s attitude through Princess Jing’an, the sixth prince couldn’t help wondering: "What the mother meant...this was not the work of Chang Pinghou, but the Lu family? It doesn’t make sense, the son had been in Beijing like this. There are so many eyeliners, I have never heard of the friendship between the Shen family and the Lu family! Even if there is someone in the middle, my aunt shouldn't come forward."

"This is also something I don't understand. But when I think it's bad, if the Lu family really did this, your uncle would have to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Forget it, it's a matter of time. 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 tell Li Di clearly about tomorrow's affairs?"

"Don't worry about the mother, he will invite himself to Yudong tomorrow morning." The sixth prince gritted his teeth and said: "If you lose a penal department, this engineering department will never be lost again."

The sixth prince coughed twice.

Queen Xu said: "Okay, you have just returned from Luoyang, so go back and rest earlier."

The floods are getting worse, and the saint has to choose a person to serve as the river defense envoy. The Xu family convened a staff to start a long talk, and the prince was not idle either. Obviously, they were all preparing for tomorrow's morning.

The night of Chang'an tonight is like a bright moon on the sea, dragging the waves.

The noise of the West Market came to an abrupt end with Mu Gu's boring sound.

Lu Yan stooped into the carriage, and Yang Zongzheng was about to ask if he wanted to go to the little lady. He only heard 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, July 28, a moment in time.

The bright star is high, and the sky is far away. Huaiwu was dark, and the crows screamed away.

The evening mist has not yet collected, and the palace wall is weeping willows. Officials from the fifth rank and above walked outside the Xuanzheng Hall and stood in two rows. Emperor Cheng Yuan walked in the hall of regular obedience, and the servant shouted and raised his head.

The sound of sword wear followed the jade's steps, and the clothes and the body were like a royal incense. The left and right historian Jiaxiang case separates, and Baiguan begins to play.

Hong Yushi held the Express and began to read the current situation of the disaster. Every time he read a sentence, the official's heart followed, and it was ruined in secret.

This time the Yellow River's big breach has not only caused difficulties in eastern Henan and southern Hebei. Nowadays, large tracts of land in northwestern Shandong have been flooded. If this continues, let alone the state's financial failure, it will be the harvest next year Don't count on it anymore.

Hong Yushi closed the book.

After a while, Zhongshu Ling and Zuo Pu Shewen Zhang took the lead in accusing the Ministry of Industry of inaction.

The left minister Xu Bolin and his colleagues sneered at each other, to the effect that-don't just scold the Ministry of Engineering, what are you capable of, come here.

come on!

A raging fire ignited in the eyes of a group of old foxes.

Soon, the sarcasm and sarcasm of your comings and goings began in the line of the prince's doctor Hong Cheng, the military minister Zheng Yong and the sixth prince.

On the surface, Yan Yan laughed, but in reality, everything went into my heart.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this early dynasty has become a game between the prince and the king of Wei.

Irrelevant people all curled their necks, looked down at the ground, and silently counted the time of the next day.

Emperor Cheng Yuan's face was pale, and the memorial in his hands was patted on the table with a "pop". "The people of the Jin Dynasty are suffering outside, and I am worried and have not slept for several nights. You ministers of arms and pillars of the country, what else can you do besides these silly remarks!"

The emperor was angry, and everyone shuddered in the twelfth lunar winter, and there was no sound in the hall.

At this moment, Li Di stepped forward and said, "Chen, I would like to go to eastern Henan to treat water."

Emperor Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What strategy does Li Shilang have?"

"The minister believes that the construction of dikes should also be an important task in water control."

Upon hearing that the embankment was being repaired again, Emperor Cheng Yuan's expression inevitably became flatter.

Everyone told him to build the embankment, but the amount of money allocated by the officials to the embankment was still less? How effective is it? Repairing the collapse, repairing the collapse, is no different from a bottomless pit.

Emperor Cheng Yuan was noncommittal and looked at the officials coldly.

His Royal Highness stepped forward and said: "I have something to hand over to your Majesty."

Emperor Cheng Yuan said lightly: "What?"

The prince said: "My son had been to the Dali Temple Prison two days ago and met Shen Wenqi, the guilty minister. Shen Wenqi knew that he was deeply sinful and faceless, so the entrusted minister presented these two books to his majesty, one copy. This is a comprehensive overview of the river defense, and one book is for the two rivers."

Hong Yushi replied, "A comprehensive overview of river defense... Two rivers see... These two books, the minister has never heard of them."

The prince replied: "Both books were compiled by the criminal Shen Wenqi in prison, and the palace has never read them."

The word guilty minister, the prince bit very hard.

As soon as the words fell, the six princes and the left minister Xu Bolin couldn't help but tighten their eyes.

Emperor Cheng Yuan took it and looked down.

Look at the trash in the temple who only knows to say some crazy paradox, and then look at the two books in his hand, if you say that you are not moved, then it must be false.

The words and sentences above are not an exaggeration to say that they have been painstaking all their lives.

The sincere heart leaped on the paper, causing the emperor's thumb to tremble slightly.

Lu Yan raised his eyes and knew that the prince's move was sent to the emperor's heart.

If the people's anger in the east of Yudong is a fire, then the two books by Shen Wenqi and the "heavenly master" he found are the dry wood that burns the fire more vigorously.

At the right time, Lu Yan took a step to the right and said in a deep voice: "The minister remembers that in the 14th year of Yuanqing, the Baimao Embankment of the Yellow River also experienced a breach. Shen Wenqi's strategy of diverting the flow of water was very effective. This time the Yellow River Basin Suffering one after another, but this Baimao **** is safe. Right now, the people's anger is hard to suppress, and the people are in panic. The minister suggested that it is better to let Shen Wenqi temporarily serve as the river defense envoy to control the flood."

There was an uproar in the heart.

I have to say that compared with those under the Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince, Lu Yan's words are obviously much heavier. There is no other reason. Jing Zhaoyin is directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, is a real imperial power faction, and there is no standing in line at all.

The faces of Li Di and Xu Bolin became very ugly.

The Lu Family would mention Shen Wenqi in the early stage, this was not what they expected at all!

Xu Berlin made a look.

Tai Chang Cheng, under the six princes, immediately said: "Although Shen Wenqi is meritorious, he still has to think about why he went to jail? The city's west canal collapsed and how many people died! He is guilty! The officials thought, no!"

As soon as Tai Changcheng's words fell, the wind direction obviously changed again.

When the two sides were arguing, Emperor Cheng Yuan rubbed his fingers twice with his thumb, and said Shen Shen, "What do all Aiqing think?"

The minister of Hubu took the lead in taking a step to the right and said: "The minister thought that although Shen Wenqi was a guilty person, he was also a Dajin citizen. As a Dajin citizen, if there are talents in water management, the court should be in trouble, so he should serve."

As soon as the words guilty body came out, Xu Bolin's heart sank.

Shen Wenqi's crime was determined by the saint Jinkouyuyan. If you want to reverse the case, it is equivalent to pulling out the tiger's beard! But it would be much easier if it is guilty and meritorious...

As soon as Sui Yu's words were uttered, Baiguan couldn't help but turn his face.

What's up today

These one or two, is it possible... Is it really going to get Shen Wenqi out of Dali Temple prison?

While everyone was watching, Jingzhao Shao Yin Sun Xu took a step to the right, and said in a hurry, "According to what the attendant said, the minister agrees."

Meng Wei followed closely and said, "The minister also seconded."

Seeing, Lu Ting and Lu Ye of the town government official's mansion also came out one after another, saying in unison: "Chen, seconding."

Chang Pinghou took a step to the left and said, "The minister also seconded."

With the leader, more follow suit.

The children of the aristocratic families who had made friends with Zhen Guo Gong and Xuanping Hou's Mansion one after another.

Li Di clenched his fists, his face gradually chapped.

The left and right eyelids jumped wildly, and he was about to speak, when Zhou Shuan, the Qing dynasty of Dali Temple, also took a step to the right, and said in a cold voice: "The minister also agrees."

Although Zhou Shuan did not have the roots of a large family in Beijing, his reputation among the poor family was unmatched.

As soon as he opened his mouth, not only the officials of Dali Temple echoed, but also led some Qingliu in the DPRK, and also shouted the word "Second".

Everyone has a ruler in mind for the reason for Shen Wenqi's imprisonment.

Seeing this, the prince's eyes were red.

Shen Wenqi worked as the prince Zhongyun, and also as the prince Zhan, assisting him who was weak for seven years. In October last year, he couldn't protect him or the Shen family. He already felt guilty. Today, he will never make the same mistake again.

The prince raised his eyes and said firmly: "The son of the minister seconded."

The prince opened his mouth, and the protégés of the prince including Hong Yushi, Bingbu Shangshu, Xingbu Shangshu, and Xingbu Shilang also stood in line.

Under the general trend, some officials who could not understand the Xu family also bowed their waists.

The word seconding, one after another, echoed in the Palace of Xuanzheng...

Emperor Cheng Yuan looked at the two books in his hand and exhaled deeply, as if he had made some decision, he said: "Xuan Shenwen Qi enters the hall."

Zhou Shuan cast a look at Mu Shaoqing, "Go back to Dali Temple, hurry." Mu Shaoqing nodded.

Half an hour later, the door of Xuanzheng Hall slowly opened, and Shen Wenqi walked slowly under the gaze of Baiguan.

Recalling the appearance of Shen's daughter, one can guess how many Chang'an young ladies were attracted by Shen Wenqi back then, saying that she looks better than Pan'an.

The gray prison uniform was dilapidated, and his ten-month prison sentence left his temples all white, and his once vigorous eyes became tired and muddy.

The old style is no longer there.

But the strength of the body has not changed.

The way he walked into the hall was like a day for ten years.

Loyalty to the liver and righteousness has not changed

He knelt to the center of the hall, straightened his back, and slowly said: "Shen Wenqi, the criminal minister, pays homage to your majesty."

Emperor Cheng Yuan's eyes were dazzling, and he nodded his knee with his finger, before saying, "Get up."

"Thank your majesty."

"At present, the floods in eastern Henan, western Shandong, northern Hebei and northern Hebei have completely paralyzed the water transport from north to south. What do you think?" After that, Emperor Cheng Yuan handed the newsletter and papers to the servant, "show him. ."

The words of Emperor Cheng Yuan were extremely natural, as if Shen Wenqi was still the Yunyang Hou of the past.

The prince had already explained the general situation in detail, but Shen Wenqi still read it carefully.

The breathing sounds all around seemed to freeze.

After a while, Shen Wenqi raised his head and said: "My Majesty, if you want to control the water, you still have to take the **** as the first priority. However, you must adjust the measures to local conditions if you want to control the water. "

Shen Wenqi coughed heavily, and said: "No matter how you build a dike, it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause, because the root is not in the **** but in the sand. Only preventing the sediment from descending is the foundation of treating the river."

"Already have a decision in mind?"

"Yes." Shen Wenqi said.

Emperor Cheng Yuan nodded thoughtfully, "The disaster is urgent. I have ordered you to be the river defense envoy. I will leave tomorrow and come back early."

"The minister leads the decree."

Look at this, He Fangzhi, there is no such word as agency.

Li Di kept swallowing saliva.

Tai Changcheng said again: "Your Majesty! Last year the Chengxi Canal broke, the water transport was blocked, and the crops were flooded. If it happens again..."

"Enough!" Emperor Cheng Yuan interrupted him and said unhurriedly: "Don't tell me what happens, then I don't admonish, and I don't blame the past." Cheng Yuan doesn't need to persuade him again, and don't investigate the past.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Bolin also said.

"Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the ceremony." Said the minister of ceremony.

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 do it for you!"

The Minister of Etiquette nodded and said: "Your Majesty calms down your anger."

With a sigh of relief, the officials suddenly realized that the Shen family, the dying fish on the chopping board.

Came alive.
