Chapter 478: Sticking to each other
"Something to start, nothing to retreat. Zhang Fuhai's voice sounded in the Jinluan Palace.
"Minister, there is a book. Wei Zhongxian bowed, and then handed out the fold in his sleeve.
Wei Zhongxian said: "This year, both sides of the Yellow River have been raining heavily since spring. The minister was afraid that the river would flood, so he asked for the construction of the river. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xiang took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, Wei Xiang's words, the minister does not dare to agree.
This year's rain is indeed more than usual, but it is not only the Yellow River that rains, but even the south of the Yangtze River has been raining for a whole month.
The minister understood Wei Xiang's worries, but if all the silver was used on the embankment of the Yellow River, in case of a disaster in other places, where would the imperial court take the silver to help the disaster?"
Lord Zhang stepped forward and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, what Liu Xiang said is right, the construction of the river is a huge project.
In the past few years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been plagued by disasters, coupled with the expansion of the canal and the repair of embankments, the household department has been unable to come up with excess silver.
The matter of adding the embankment of the Yellow River has forgotten His Majesty's second thought. ”
Wei Zhongxian said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the rain on the Yellow River has been falling for a month, and now the rain is small, but it is still falling.
How much more money is needed to build than the amount lost after the dam collapses?
Please think twice about the construction of the embankment!"
Liu Xiang listened and hurriedly said: "Wei Xiang, you are alarmist. ”
Liu Xiang and Wei Zhongxian each insisted on their own words, and the two sides had a long-term dispute.
The emperor said: "If no embankment is built, Liu Xiang may ensure that the embankment will not be washed away by the flood?"
Liu Xiang knelt down and said, "The minister can't." ”
The emperor said: "Is there a way for Prime Minister Wei to solve the empty treasury?"
Wei Zhongxian knelt down and said, "The minister is incompetent. ”
In the past few years, there have been disasters in various places, and there are still troublemakers in many places, and the imperial court has spent a lot of money on this.
If it weren't for Dong Ruyi's donation of silver in the early years, the imperial court would not have built a dam, and I am afraid that the treasury would have bottomed out last year.
The emperor looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, "What is a good way for the Zhongqing family to have the best of both worlds?"
Everyone knelt down and said, "The minister is incompetent." ”
The emperor got up and said coldly: "What's the use of raising you." ”
He waved his sleeves away.
Zhang Fuhai hurriedly shouted to retreat, and quickly followed.

Inside the Acting King's Palace.
The noble concubine said, "Wang'er, do you know that Wei Zhongxian proposed to build a dam?"
The acting king nodded and said: "But there is such a thing, why did the concubine ask about the court?" The acting prince's mansion has always only asked about the affairs of the court, and this time the noble concubine must have a good intention.
The concubine said: "Wang Er doesn't know, in the past, when the imperial court provided disaster relief, it was either King Qing who went south, or King Xuanyuan who went south.
But now it is not what it used to be, and the emperor has gradually disbelieved in Xuanyuan Palace.
As for King Qing, the construction of the canal embankment in the early years was mentioned by the Chen family's donation of silver, so King Qing still resigned.
Now that Wei Zhongxian mentioned it, King Qing would not wade into this troubled water.
According to the main palace, this matter is not up to you. ”
The king was silent, and although the construction of the embankment was a great achievement, it was also dangerous.
Historically, the construction of rivers and the relief of disaster victims have either been fought over by everyone or rejected by everyone.
It's just that if he can win this matter, not to mention how much oil and water he can get in the end, merit alone can keep their mother and son worry-free for twenty years.
It's just that the imperial court is arguing over the construction of the embankment, and it is not easy to win this matter.
The acting king sighed and said: "The son is afraid of disappointing the mother concubine, the son has had pleasure over the years, that is, to have fun, as for the rest, the son does not understand, I am afraid that the royal brother will not hand it over to the son." ”
He has been eating, drinking, and having fun all day long in order to save his life all these years, and now let him do the right thing, he... No.
The concubine said: "My son can rest assured that the concubine has her own way in this matter."
It's just that during this time, you have to show your face in front of the emperor a lot, doesn't the emperor like that girl?
In two days, I will send it to the main palace to see me. ”
The king should be leaving.
The concubine looked at the tea cup on the table, thinking in her heart.
King Qing will not take over this matter, and as for King Xuanyuan, even if he wants to, the emperor will not agree.
The rest of the princes are only King Jin.
The king of Jin is a martial artist, he can lead troops to fight, but he can build embankments, and he is no different from the acting king.
If you don't send a prince, then there is only the imperial history, but now the imperial history who can do this ...
The noble concubine couldn't help but smile slightly.
The post from the acting king's mansion soon reached the Dong family.
Chen Shi took the post and said, "Xianqing, what do you say the concubine is going to do?"
How old is Sister Ru, where can she worry about her?"
When the Chen family came back from the Qing Palace, they were even more resistant to the noble concubine.
She was afraid that the noble concubine would be uneasy and kind.
Dong Wende said: "It's okay, I guess I just want to see Ruyi." ”
Chen nodded, and now she could only think better.
Dong Ruyi heard the news and instructed: "Shijie, the eldest sister will go to the palace this time, and it is estimated that she may have to stay for a few days. ”
Whether it's homework or martial arts, it can't be wasted.
Dong Shijie nodded and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, Shijie is the same as the eldest sister when she is here."
It's just Concubine Li, the eldest sister should be careful. ”
Dong Ruyi said with a smile: "She wishes that I would marry into the Daiwang Mansion now, so she won't harm me." ”
Dong Shijie nodded, and said in his heart: "Forget it, don't talk about it, let's let the eldest sister go to the palace with peace of mind!"
He knew that Concubine Li would not harm Dong Ruyi, so what he was worried about was not about it.
What he was worried about was that Concubine Li would do everything to get Dong Ruyi to agree to marry into the palace of the king.
Just after noon, Dong Ruyi left for the Acting King's Mansion.
Concubine Li has been in charge of the Acting Palace, and although she has no real power at the moment, there are still many henchmen in the Acting Palace.
She learned that the acting king had brought Dong Ruyi, and she thought that the opportunity had come.
She asked Xiao Ruijing to find an opportunity to find Dong Ruyi over.
As long as Dong Ruyi comes, she has her own way to let Dong Ruyi marry into the palace of the king.
Xiao Ruijing was very reluctant, but he still went.
He didn't know what was going on in the palace, he only knew that the concubine came to the palace, her mother's power was gone, and he fell out of favor.
As for the rest, he knew nothing.
The concubine didn't see him, and his father didn't see him, and he wanted to find someone who understood to ask, but he had nowhere to ask.
Dong Ruyi had just entered the palace of the dynasty, and was led by the maid to the residence of the two county lords.
The acting king wanted Dong Ruyi to know that she was the same as the other two county lords in the acting king's mansion.
He wanted Dong Ruyi to like the Daiwang Mansion and stay in the Daiwang Mansion.
After all, there are only two people in the Dong family, Dong Ruyi and Dong Shijie.
In the Acting King's Mansion, in addition to Xiao Ruijing, there are six young ladies.
Dong Ruyi looked at the two unfriendly county lords in front of him, and sneered in his heart, "I'm afraid that the noble concubine is going to miscalculate." ”
The concubine made a special confession and did not allow them to bully Miss Dong, but Yong'an and Yongping listened to it.
As for the other four concubines, they can't wait for Yong'an, Yongping and Dong Ruyi to face each other.
