CHAPTER XVIII
After they couldn't see the emperor's back, the ministers came out in twos and threes, but the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking.
Gu Rinjun didn't care about the emperor's anger, it was originally, this matter didn't have much to do with him in the first place, and looking at the emperor's appearance, he was also confident.
What Gu Rinjun is thinking about now is that if he can go back soon, maybe he can catch up with Chu Xinyao to have breakfast together, but the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.
Not long after Gu Rinjun walked out of the Fengtian Palace, he was stopped by Shunde who was chasing after him, "The general stays!" ”
Shunde's voice was so loud that it was impossible for Gu Rinjun to think that he hadn't heard it, so in desperation, Gu Rinjun had to stop, feeling sorry in his heart, it seemed that his plan to have breakfast with Chu Xinyao today was completely gone.
Gu Rinjun, who had figured it out, didn't procrastinate, and simply turned to look at Shunde who was approaching and asked, "Is there something wrong with my father-in-law?" ”
"General, the emperor asked the Sprinkle family to invite the general to the imperial study, there is something important."
"In that case, my father-in-law is tired of leading the way."
"Don't dare, don't dare, general, please."
When Gu Rinjun arrived at the imperial study, he found that he was not the only one who was stopped, there were also Song Yichen, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Wen Junming, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor was sitting on the desk to review the folds.
I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't want to wait for a while, so the emperor put down the fold in his hand and said to a few henchmen in the imperial study: "Regarding the problem of irrigation in the south, what are the good countermeasures for a few Aiqing?" ”
"Weichen thinks it's better to dig a canal," Song Yichen was already in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and he also had the most say in these things.
"Although this is a good solution, if it starts now, it will inevitably cost some people and money, and the effect is not good, after all, the south has begun to enter the rainy season." The person who spoke was Wen Junming, and what he said was quite reasonable.
"I also know that this effect is not good, but if we don't do anything, then when the drought period after the rainy season comes, the food will really not be saved."
Gu Rinjun thought that these things had nothing to do with him, and besides, he really couldn't give any good advice, and he didn't understand why the emperor asked him to discuss the issue of irrigation in the south.
"What does the general think?" I really wanted to come to something, and as soon as the thought turned, the emperor started to ask.
"Back to the emperor, the minister doesn't know." Gu Rinjun told the truth, and he didn't feel distracted at all.
However, after looking at Gu Rinjun's inexplicable eyes, the questioner was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and the words he had thought of had no room to play a role.
The emperor originally wanted to ask Gu Rinjun if he had any good suggestions, but after looking at Gu Rinjun's inexplicable expression, the emperor couldn't help laughing, laughing at himself in his heart, thinking that he was a little sick and rushed to the hospital, Gu Rinjun was good at marching and fighting, and he really didn't understand these things about people's livelihood.
"Things are not in a hurry, although Prime Minister Liu Cheng's ambition is a little big, but in the end it is still useful, look at what Prime Minister Liu Cheng did three days later." Although the emperor does not like Prime Minister Liu, this does not deny that Prime Minister Liu Cheng does have some ability.
"What if Prime Minister Liu Cheng can't come up with any effective solution after three days?" After Song Yichen heard the emperor's words, he asked casually, "Then when the emperor wants to convict Prime Minister Liu Cheng of a crime of disadvantage?" ”
"Prime Minister Liu doesn't dare, no matter how he annoys me today, but after three days, he will definitely give a solution, although it is not very good." The emperor said very firmly: "After all, Prime Minister Liu Cheng is a 'good official' who 'serves the country and the people', and besides, as a veteran of the two dynasties, if Prime Minister Liu Cheng can't solve even a small irrigation problem, it will inevitably be realized." ”
"Since the emperor has his own plans in his heart, then Weichen is relieved." Song Yichen and you breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was in charge of the Ministry of Works, and these were his own things, and then he smiled a little bitterly, "It's just that I cut off one of Prime Minister Liu's minions in Fengtian Hall today, and Prime Minister Liu will definitely not let me go for a while in the future." ”
"I'm ready to receive the impeachment of you," the emperor gloated, turned his head to look at the other person who had offended Prime Minister Liu, and said with a smile: "Of course, there are also generals." ”
The atmosphere in the imperial study room became more and more relaxed, and Song Yichen and Wen Junming also relaxed more and more, "It will be the emperor's birthday in a month, and the general's wife will also attend then." Although Song Yichen was asking Gu Rinjun, his tone was very determined.
The topic changed a little quickly, but on the emperor's birthday a month later, Gu Rinjun really planned to bring Chu Xinyao with him, so he nodded generously and recognized it.
Song Yichen was originally a master who was not afraid of big things, but now that Gu Rinjun was willing to speak, he said the question in his heart, "I have heard a lot of rumors about the second miss of the Chu family, but I don't know how many of these rumors are true and how many are false?" ”
Gu Rinjun raised his eyes to look at Song Yichen, his eyes were calm and waveless, "It is rumored that the general of Zhenguo is a cripple with a blue face and fangs, and the life of his wife. ”
Song Yichen was stunned by Gu Rinjun's sudden words, but Wen Junming beside him reacted quickly, and then chuckled, it seems that this Zhenguo general is still a master of protecting his shortcomings.
Song Yichen was not stupid, but he understood what Gu Rinjun meant in a turn of his brain, Chu Xinyao was not what was rumored, and looking at the appearance of this general protecting the calf, thinking that Chu Xinyao either had the means and would be obedient to the general in a short period of time, or that Chu Xinyao would be a good person, otherwise the general would not protect her like this.
Although he thinks so, Song Yichen is actually more inclined to the latter guess, after all, as far as he knows, although this general seems to be taciturn, he is not a good person, otherwise there would be no rumors of those "wives".
Song Yichen didn't think that Gu Rinjun was really a wife, most of the time it was the silent general who did something behind his back that caused the "accident" of those young ladies to happen. Song Yichen glanced at the harmless emperor who seemed to be smiling on the top again, and said secretly in his heart: Of course, the help of the above must be indispensable to this, otherwise it would be impossible for a single general to do such a leak.
"Hearing the general say this, I'm a little curious about what kind of strange woman the general's wife is, and she actually let the general protect her like this." Wen Junming looked at Gu Rinjun with a smile.
Gu Rinjun raised his eyes to look at Wen Junming, this Wen Shangshu, who looked like a soft bun, was able to keep his face unchanged in the face of Gu Rinjun's gaze, and even smiled more and more brightly, Gu Rinjun smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that this is not a simple person. It's just that if he, Gu Rinjun, can easily let people get in, he won't be Gu Rinjun.
"When the palace banquet comes, Lord Wen will be able to see it." A sentence that is neither light nor heavy completely blocked the curiosity of Wen Junming and Song Yichen.
Wen Junming and Song Yichen laughed dumbly, shook their heads and said funny: "So I'm more and more curious about my wife." ”
