Chapter 5: The Eve of the Great War
The scholar was the first to object to Yan Shilang's argument in the main hall: "After more than 20 years, if the water level is still less than the height of previous years, will the canal have to save water?" In addition, even if you want to store water, there are local reservoirs in the states and counties along the canal, which can store a lot. ”
"And how much loss will be caused by the cargo ship on the canal for one day of stopping, Lord Yan's account can be calculated!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, officials who had the same thoughts as him expressed their opinions, thinking that the Tobe squire had a bad idea!
Ying Su narrowed his eyes again, leaning on the dragon chair like a cat, sickly, it seemed that the time of the early dynasty was too long, and he was already strong to support himself.
The ministers were divided into two factions, and a new round of debate began, all of them were righteous and generous, and they all looked like good ministers who were worried about the country and the people.
The emperor on the throne only looked at it coldly, and no one could see what he was thinking.
Emperor Hirohito's queen was already numb from the noise of these ministers, and her temples jumped, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that these people were comparable to old eagles with black hair, the same call was annoying, but they could spray feces more than those flat-haired beasts, and no one could come up with a quasi-idea!
Holding back a slightly irritable mood, Empress Dowager Hirohito looked sideways at the Emperor Xià beside her, and immediately frowned!
She can't see Ying Su's weak appearance, she is young and not angry at all, how can she have the momentum of an emperor sitting on the dragon chair?
"What do you think?" With her hands on her knees, Empress Dowager Hirohito attacked her own son.
She's gasy too!
Ming Xiangjun has been in the palace for many days, although he said that he was going to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, but who doesn't know the thoughts of the Queen Mother and Ming Cheng? The Ming family almost told Ming Xiangjun that he was the queen of Dazhao.
Things have come to this point, and I thought that Ying Su would want to follow the path she set for him as usual. But her son, who has been obedient for twenty years, has become disobedient on this issue after he was established!
No matter how she pressured her, Ying Su replied weakly: "I am this body, others don't know, don't you know the queen mother?" How much time do I have left to live? ”
If it is pressed tighter, His Majesty the Emperor will become ill immediately, and his face will be pale and painful! Scared, how dare Mingxiang-jun come to his side?
Ying Su only raised his eyes to look at his mother. Through the evenly coated but thick layer of fat powder, he couldn't see what his mother's complexion was, but he knew that the Queen Mother must be unhappy at this time.
You can make my lady from an upright queen to a nameless woman in the palace, I naturally have a way to let the daughter of the Ming family suffer the same thing!
And the longer Ming Xiangjun stays in the palace, the more embarrassing her identity will be!
I hadn't even touched her with a finger, and I had already made her a 'woman', and no one would believe that she would be perfect!
"The queen mother asked me?" Ying Su didn't move but turned his head to his mother, and the huge palace lamps hung on both sides of his head, casting two shadows on his eyes and face with his long and thick eyelashes.
Empress Dowager Hirohito was numb by her son's scalp, and in a trance, she saw the first emperor sitting on the throne! For a while, she broke out in a cold sweat and almost got up and knelt on the ground!
"Majesty xià......" she squeezed two words out of her throat.
Ying Su didn't hear these two words, but in fact, his mother was calling his father. It's just that I wonder why my mother's face suddenly changed.
"Of course, I hope to release the canal as much as possible, so that the ships moored at the Funing port can pass as soon as possible."
As soon as His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother spoke, the Golden Palace was quiet, and Yan Shilang's tongue did not fall to the upper hand at all, but forced several courtiers standing in the Ming Cheng faction to open their mouths, and they were speechless to refute several times.
The emperor who was sitting on the high seat looked at this qiē silently, and his heart was very happy!
As long as he can make Mingcheng's self-righteous thing deflated, he will be happy!
Someday......
That day may not be too far away!
He wants to uproot the Ming family, so that this century-old family, and even the Ming family, whose eyes are above the top, can taste the taste of being trampled in the dust!
Ming Cheng had almost been angry with Yan Shilang who didn't know how to die, and now after listening to the words of the emperor's majesty, he glanced at Yan Shilang who was stunned in the crowd meaningfully, and smiled slightly: "What His Majesty said is very true!" If the canal is not open to ships for a day, how many baggage will not be able to be transported in? Now the price of rice in the imperial capital is about to rise, which will hurt the people! ”
"Definitely!" Yan Shilang argued with reason, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Ying Su: "It's okay!" ”
Ying Su Ruyu's slender fingertips gently pinched his forehead, although he didn't say it explicitly, the tiredness on his body couldn't be concealed.
All of them stopped and held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
"Funing is only a few days away from the imperial capital...... "After thinking for a moment, Ying Su opened his mouth lightly, he put down his arms and sat up straight, looked around at the courtiers in the main hall, and finally his eyes fell on Ying Fei: "King Chengping." ”
"Wechen is here!" Ying Fei immediately took a few steps to the middle, bowed down and saluted to the emperor who was seated.
"You go over and take a look, Yan Aiqing is not unreasonable, the canal needs water, and the farmland in the counties along the way also needs water, you must check it carefully in the past, if there is no big problem, open the gate and release the water!"
"Yes!" Yingfei responded in a deep voice.
Ying Yao's heart jumped: this trip is a chore! If you don't get it right, you'll offend the Ming family and the officials next to you, so I have to tell him a few words after the next court......
"Your Majesty, farmland irrigation is indeed the top priority, and the minister is willing to go to Funing with King Chengping!" Ming Cheng also took a few steps and stood in the center of the main hall and bowed.
"Just like that, I'm going to send two ministers out of Beijing?" Ying Su frowned and whispered, "The scholar should stay and assist me, let me win this matter."
Assist me, just let Yingfei go alone in this matter. ”
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, although the old minister wrote to implore His Majesty to open the gate, but after all, the minister is also judging according to the experience of previous years."
"I haven't been out of Beijing for a few years, and I'm afraid that this time I'm sloppy, so I'm ......"
"Okay, since my uncle is not afraid of the hardships of the car and boat, let's go!" Without waiting for Ming Cheng to finish speaking, Ying Su interrupted him and looked at the eunuch standing in front of the emperor: "What time is it?" ”
"If you have something to do with the class, you will play early, and you will retreat from the curtain if you have nothing to do!" The celebrant immediately shouted.
"Ying Fei, come here and check my pulse...... Ying Su got up with the dragon chair, and walked back with a white face.
After the emperor's majesty left, the ministers also left one after another, and Ming Cheng looked up at his sister who was still sitting on it, so he had to walk over: "Queen Mother? ”
"Huh?" Empress Dowager Hirohito looked at her brother, her voice trembling a little: "The mourning family seems to have seen the first emperor......"
"The Queen Mother is too tired!" Mingcheng scoffed at his sister's words!
The First Emperor? That man, who was weaker than his son, was now lying in the imperial tomb, and I am afraid that he would have rotted into a pair of white bones!
"The Queen Mother go back and rest, the minister sees that your face is not good." He said patiently and perfunctorily.
Empress Dowager Hirohito nodded, took the eunuch's hand and slowly got up, and walked to the back.
"Humph! It's a woman's ...... after all," Mingcheng said secretly as he stared at his sister's figure.
……
"There is a carriage outside the palace, if you go out of the city now, you must go to Funing before Ming Cheng."
In the Imperial Palace, Ying Su changed out of the complicated court clothes on his body, removed the crown, and stood barefoot on the carpet wearing only his underwear, feeling a lot more comfortable, and there was a little sickly on his face.
"I'll just go back to the house and clean up and leave, and I won't delay." Ying Fei waited for the invitation to leave Beijing, leaning against the door with his face facing out, as if he was thinking about something.
"Not necessarily." Picked out a light shirt and put it on, and Ying Su put on a full coat and boots in addition to the dormitory: "Don't you want to take this." ”
There was a gust of wind behind him, and Ying Fei turned around neatly and reached out to catch something, which was actually a fan!
Ying Su had already walked out of the palace gate one step ahead of him: "Let's go." ”
"It's really ......" opened the folding fan with a 'bang', and took the holy decree that Ying Su had written a long time ago, he shook his head with a wry smile: "I really don't even want people to go back home......"
Ying Su, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said expressionlessly: "I will go back for you, you can do things with peace of mind!" ”
My lady went to King Xian's Mansion yesterday and was stayed at your house by Princess Xian! What are you going to do back home? Hum......
sent away Ying Fei, and Ying Su went to King Xian's Mansion to pick up Yue Xi.
Princess Xian was very surprised by his sudden visit, knowing that her son had already left Beijing on an errand, Princess Xian just nodded.
When it comes to men's affairs, she is very measured and never asks.
"When you go there, it's all on your back." Thinking of Princess Fang Caixian's clumsy appearance when she moved her fat body to kneel down and salute Ying Fei, Yue Xi muttered in a low voice.
"I'm the emperor, so I am." Ying Su replied softly.
"Tired?" Sensing that he was speaking differently, Yue Xi turned his head to look at him and reached out to touch his forehead.
"Nope." Ying Su smiled and took her hand and kissed her on the lips: "The lady has a special identity, don't stay outside casually in the future." ”
Yue Xi frowned at first, then thought about his words carefully, and finally nodded: "Okay, I know." ”
Princess Xian met King Xian yesterday, and her feelings were very low, she just wanted to accompany her.
I didn't expect this matter to be secretly reported to him......
"Don't be upset!" Holding the lady on her lap stubbornly, Ying Su's hand had already slipped into her clothes, carefully and gently stroking her belly: "Recently, the court has not been peaceful, lady, you have to be considerate of your husband......"
There was a deep tiredness in his voice, and it was distressing to listen to.
Yue Xi sighed in his heart, looked sideways at him, and only felt that there were two extremely light pieces of color under his eyes: "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
He has never liked to stay in the palace, and today he has to go to the court early, and he can only rest in the Huangji Hall for fear of delaying the hour.
"Didn't sleep. Too much to do. He looked at her lips with fascination, as if it was coated with honey, and he couldn't help himself, but he still kissed her......
The mouth was full of his fresh taste, but Yue Xi's heart was even more distressed: "Go back and sleep, you will be tired like this." ”
"I just wanted to meet you." Ying Su closed his eyes and leaned on Yue Xi's back, and his heart was at peace: "You and your son have to be well-behaved, I can't take care of you these days, don't let me worry." It doesn't matter if the Taiping Bureau's business makes money or not, your husband can still support you both. ”
"Where are you going?" Yue Xi suddenly turned his head and asked.
"Lady, won't you move lightly? Our sons are all kicking you! Ying Su opened his eyes and only smiled at her: "It's not far, my husband is going to Funing, and I will come back in a few days." ”
"You must stay in the courtyard these days, I pretended to be sick and left the palace."
