Chapter 154: Honor in Troubled Times 122
Daqi capital
Li Shoufu came back from the palace, and his expression was a little dignified.
Mrs. Li hurriedly took off his cloak and asked someone to take a warm handkerchief and hand it to him.
Li Shoufu wiped his hands and face: "I see that Your Majesty's complexion is very bad, and I am afraid that Your Majesty's body is sick." β
Mrs. Li said softly: "Master watch more, it's really not good, let's be prepared." β
Li Shoufu nodded: "The queen of Dajing is a powerful person, she actually asked people to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to sell, this move is really counted in one fell swoop, that woman is really not simple." β
Mrs. Li bowed her head: "The woman is too powerful, I'm afraid that this world can't tolerate it, not to mention, Dajing's Jianyuan Emperor is a male lord, how can a person like him tolerate a queen who is also ambitious, and he has to rely on the queen's planning before, everything can be endured, and wait, when Emperor Jianyuan wins the world, the first unlucky one is the Queen Liu." β
"Alas. Li Shoufu sighed: "It's a pity." β
Mrs. Li asked Li Shoufu: "How is the concubine?"
Li Shoufu sneered: "She, I see that the whole world is mourned because of her, and now His Majesty is more and more unable to leave her, and after a while, I am afraid that the government will be handed over to her." β
"Daqi is in danger. Li Shoufu said one last word, he waved his hand and didn't want to say anything more.
Mrs. Li asked him to sit down, and asked the girls to hurry up and set the meal.
After eating, Li Shoufu went to the study.
After a few moments, a letter came in from his attendant.
Li Shoufu was shocked when he saw it.
"Someone. β
He yelled outward.
Soon a few squires came in.
Li Shoufu wanted to say something, but when he thought of the current situation in Daqi, he felt very powerless.
He waved his hand: "Okay, it's okay, let's get out." β
When the attendant went out, Li Shoufu got up and looked at the bright moon outside the window.
After a long time, Li Shoufu bent over, and tears flashed in his eyes: "I'm afraid that the century-old foundation of Daqi will be destroyed in a short time, and it is really about to die in Daqi." β
Dajing, Suzhou
Xiao Yuan received a secret letter from the spies sent to Daqi, he opened it, took it and roasted it on the fire, revealing his handwriting.
After reading it, Xiao Yuan slapped the letter on the table: "Someone." β
Xiao Dezi came in with a few people.
"Go and call Prince Duan, Prince Yi, King Xinjun and others, as well as Lin Family, General Dong, Master Yuan, and several princesses. β
Xiao Dezi promised to go out.
Xiao Yuan said again: "Let others pass it on, you personally go to Fengqi Palace to invite the queen over." β
An Ning was the first to arrive at the Qinzheng Palace, and when she came, she brought some fruits, snacks and preserves.
Not long after she came, Xiao Rong and Zhaoyang came.
There were also Prince Duan and Prince Yi at the back, and finally Lin Da and Dong Da.
Waiting for everyone to come, Xiao Yuanrang added chairs in the hall and invited everyone to sit down.
He circulated the letter from Daqi to these people.
An Ning was the first to look, and there was a little sadness on her face after seeing it.
Then there is Lin everyone, and then Xiao Rong and others.
Waiting for all the people sitting around to read the letter, Xiao Yuancai asked, "What do you think?" β
These people, you look at me, I look at you, and all of them don't speak.
Later, Prince Yi said: "What does the imperial brother mean by this? It's just a matter of the governor of the Great Qi River, what does it matter to us?"
Prince Duan also looked at Xiao Yuan: "Brother Huang, what is going on with this letter? β
Xiao Yuan looked at Yuan Wei again, and Yuan Wei was a little confused after thinking about it for a long time.
Xiao Yuan pointed at Xiao Ying: "Ying'er, you come." β
Xiao Ying stood up and saluted: " The letter said that the Daqi party is very strong, and now Qingliu and Li Guifei are constantly fighting in the court, because of many things, now these people in Li Guifei's line are suppressed by Qingliu, the original governor of the river is Lu Wang, who is Li Guifei's lineage, Lu Wang is capable, but some corrupt, and he is also tactful, Qingliu Those people are very blind to him, and want Di Song to replace him, and Emperor Jingqing also has some opinions on Lu Wang, he feels that it is a waste to invest so much silver to govern the river every year, and feels that most of the silver here is greedy by Lu Wang, and wants to ask Di Song, who is famous for his honesty, to be the governor of the riverγ β
Xiao Yuan sank his face: "It's already said in the letter, I don't need you to say it again, I ask you what you think." β
Xiao Ying said: "Erchen, Erchen thinks this is a good thing for Daqi. β
"What about you?"
Xiao Yuan looked at the people sitting around: "Hui'er, Yin'er, what do you think?"
Xiao Hui twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, Xiao Yin was also a little confused: "Father, what do you mean?" β
Xiao Yin thought about it again: "Erchen thinks there is something wrong here, but Erchen is stupid and can't think of it for a while. β
Xiao Yuan was a little disappointed.
He pointed at the Lin family: "What about Master Lin?"
Lin Lianshuang looked at An Ning: "The minister has been frowning when he sees the queen's mother, thinking about what he thinks, the minister's opinion and the queen's mother should be roughly the same, and the minister thinks that this Daqi is destroying the Great Wall." β
"What?"
Xiao Ying was taken aback: "Why did Master Lin say that?"
Lin Lian arched her hand towards Xiao Ying: " His Royal Highness Rongyu, although this Lu Wang is a little greedy, he is also sleek, or Li Guifei's lineage, but he is a rare official to do practical things, he is not greedy, those who are greedy are sent to the capital to deal with some officials in the court, so that he can continue to govern the river, everything he does is just to govern the river, he has been the governor of the river for many years, all his efforts are on the river, he is really a very capable of doing things, and he is also very good at doing thingsγ β
An Ning nodded: "What Master Lin said is right, it's just that Master Lin ignored one point. β
As soon as An Ning spoke, everyone fell silent, and everyone quietly listened to An Ning talk about her thoughts.
"Master Lin did not take into account Di Song, Di Song is incorruptible, and has a high reputation among the people, but Di Song is also rigid, he likes ancient rites very much, and he likes to keep up with the sages in everything, and he has a grudge against Lu Wang, he is not used to Lu Wang's way of dealing with people, and he is not interested in Lu Wang's method of governing the river. β
When An Ning said this, Xiao Yin's heart trembled when she heard it, and she thought of something.
Xiao Yin stood up violently: "Father, mother, Erchen sent people to Jiangbei to sell books and newspapers, and also inquired about some things in Daqi, Erchen remembered something, this Di Song once said to others, Dayu used a way to control the water, that is, not to block the river, to channel the flood, so that the flood flowed into the river, which was the control of the flood, and he also said that the method used by Lu Wang was wrong, wasting the silver of the court. β
An Ning nodded: "There is indeed such a thing. β
Xiao Ying thought about it, and suddenly understood something.
In other words, if Di Song changed to Rwan, he would remove all the rivers that Rwann had built or relax the rivers to make the rivers flow more freely. β
Lin Jia rubbed the corners of his forehead: "In this way, I am afraid that the Great Qi country will not be protected, and the most terrible thing is that I can't say that I will be ruined next year." β
Prince Yi still didn't understand.
An Ning whispered to him to explain.
"Rwan's governance is the Yellow River, the Yellow River has a lot of sediment in the river, sediment deposits, so that the riverbed is getting higher and higher, and the method of the Rwanzhi River is to strengthen the river, so that the river channel narrows, so that the river flow is turbulent, so that the river sand will be washed a little bit, the river will carry the sediment into the sea, all year round, so that the sediment will no longer be deposited, plus the upstream planting of green plants, for a long time, the flood will be much less. β
Prince Yi nodded to show that he understood: "That is to say, if Di Song is replaced, he relaxes the river channel, or picks up some sections of the river, and the river flows slowly, and more and more sediment is deposited, layer by layer, and the Yellow River ...... The Yellow River will become an above-ground river. β
The more he spoke, the more frightened he became: "Is this really the case? This, this Di Song is harming people, and it is destroying the achievements of his predecessors in controlling the river." β
Xiao Yuan said, "Yes." β
He called Xiao Ying, and said earnestly: "Ying'er, I teach you today, for the monarch, you must be able to use people, you must know who is good at what position, you must think carefully about it, let professional people do professional things, is this Di Song a good official? Naturally, it is also a mistake for him to be the governor of the river, if I let me use people, I will let Di Song be the imperial history of the left capital of the imperial history platform, let him supervise the hundred officials, let him smell the wind and play, he is upright by nature, not afraid of power, and will naturally do a good job." β
Xiao Ying listened very carefully.
Xiao Yuan continued: "Also, to see whether an official is qualified, not only to see whether he is a clean official, a clean official, only has a reputation for being honest, but he has not done any practical things, has not let the people get a little benefit, has not governed the water and soil of one side, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, he is unqualified." β
Xiao Ying nodded: "The son respects his father's teachings. β
Xiao Yuan sighed: "What I'm worried about is that if Guo Disong changes to Lu Wang, I am afraid that the Yellow River will flood next year, and I don't know how many people on both sides of the river will suffer." β
When everyone thought of the tragic scene when the flood in the south of the Yangtze River and the people on both sides of the Yellow River were thought of for a while, their hearts became heavy for a while.
