Chapter 63: Revealing
Tianfang Pavilion, King Jing's study, there is a water terrace outside the study, and King Jing will drink tea here in the morning and meditate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For a few days, Xiao Mo came here every morning to sit with King Jing for a while, but he didn't say a word except for drinking tea safely, he spent so much effort to take her as an apprentice, so he asked her to drink tea with him every morning?
"Lord Wang, this is a piece of music from the university scholars, please take a look at it."
In addition to drinking tea, the civil officials of the palace would present such a booklet every day, Xiao Mo couldn't read what was written on it, Ling Hao looked through it and put it aside casually, without saying a word.
"Yan Guo's government affairs are like this for a day?" Xiao Mo asked confusedly.
In the past, when he accompanied Qin He to the imperial study to see Emperor Taihong, the folds on Emperor Taihong's book case were piled up like a hill, not to mention that Emperor Taihong was not a Ming monarch, and there were so many folds to be reviewed every day.
Ling Hao glanced sideways slightly, and said, "There is another volume." ”
Xiao Mo looked at the civil servant who still had a booklet in his hand, which was much thicker than the one he had in his hand.
Xiao Mo was puzzled: "Why don't those masters look at it?" ”
Ling Hao motioned for the civil official to put the booklet in front of Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo opened it and took a cursory look, most of the records in this booklet were inconsequential trivial things, and there were many people who congratulated King Jing on accepting talents, she had been in King Jing's Mansion for so many days, and there were even those who congratulated and flattered her.
King Jing's way of reading the folds is to ask the ministers below to classify and copy the folds, he will only read the one that needs him to pass the purpose, this one is really a waste of effort, don't read it, so that the review of the folds will be much faster, Xiao Mo has long noticed that King Jing is a person who is quite leisurely, and he will never spend a lot of effort on political affairs.
Xiao Mo closed the book and glanced at the Tianfang Pavilion, she had already read it roughly before, King Jing's collection of books and Ling Tianxu's collection of books were very different, Ling Tianxu preferred Wenzhi, and King Jing's collection of books ranged from history books to the art of war and even geographical metaphysics, which also reminded Xiao Mo of the "Qizhou Atlas".
Xiao Mo has always had a question in his heart, why not ask him directly now.
"How did the master tell that the book was fake?"
Ling Hao paused with his hand holding the teacup and said, "How do you know that the teacher has seen that the book is fake?" ”
"Such a military thing, it must not be easy to get it, if it is true, how can it be sent to the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion, the master's study will not put useless books, and even if the book is fake, it cannot be easily passed on, except for the Tianfang Pavilion, only the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion can reassure the master."
Ling Hao took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The easier it is to get it, the less it will be true, knowing that it is fake, why should you take it away, and cause trouble for no reason." ”
Xiao Mo lowered his eyes and said, "Presumably the master knows that I am from the Qi Kingdom, and I can't help but want to see more of the things of the Qi Kingdom when I can see the things of the Qi Kingdom in the Yan Kingdom." ”
In the Regency Palace, there were already many officials waiting inside, watching Xiao Mo follow King Jing, these ministers were not very happy when they stared at her.
"See the prince."
Ling Hao walked to the hall and sat down, and after letting them get up, he said, "It has been nearly a month since the flooding in Linjiang Mansion, what do you think, how is the errand of the Ministry of Works?" ”
Ling Hao's words were calm, without half anger, but the officials present trembled when they heard it, and everyone knew that King Jing was going to ask for it.
A minister stepped forward and said: "Lord Qiqi, the minister has already arranged it, and now the embankment is being reinforced, and it will take some time to control the flood." ”
"Fortify the embankment every year, the water still floods Linjiang Mansion every year, how many years have you been the secretary of the Ministry of Works, how many times have you strengthened the embankment, you can't remember, this king remembers clearly." Ling Hao was still speaking unhurriedly, but the atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense.
"Back to the prince, it's not that the ministers don't do their best, it's that the terrain of Linjiang Mansion is low, and when the river rises, no matter how much you repair the embankment, you can't stop it, and it will inevitably flood."
Another minister came out and said: "Lord, Lord Li has been an official for many years, and has dealt with large and small floods, and the reinforcement of the embankment has indeed achieved its effect, perhaps because of the special terrain of Linjiang Mansion, when looking for another way, the method of strengthening the embankment is long, so the ministers and others only know this for the time being, and the young and promising people will definitely have better ideas." ”
As soon as these words came out, many officials present looked at Xiao Mo beside King Jing intentionally or unintentionally, this hairy boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old could make King Jing give up attacking Qi State, just to accept him as an apprentice, such an honor, who doesn't want to see how capable he is.
Of course, Xiao Mo knew who they were alluding to, and he didn't wait for them to shout by name, Xiao Mo immediately said: "If the embankment can't be controlled, then the water will be controlled, it is better to drain the water, and it is better to build the embankment every year, it is better to use its already low-lying place to dig another river channel to drain the water." ”
Li Shangshu was embarrassed: "The method may work, but the project of digging the river is huge, and it will cost a lot of silver......
"Yan Guo, are you short of money?" Xiao Mo said casually, blocking his words.
Such presumptuous words made the officials present tremble when they heard it, and they secretly observed King Jing's face.
Seeing that no one refuted, Xiao Mo continued: "Since there is no shortage, why not take out the money from a few years to repair the embankment and complete this once and for all?" ”
After Xiao Mo finished speaking, the hall was silent, and the ministers stood with bated breath, and no one dared to speak.
Until Ling Hao slowly spoke: "Did you hear it?" ”
The ministers present and Li Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Shangshu responded: "Yes, yes, the minister will do it." ”
When he left the Regent Hall after the discussion, Xiao Mo saw Ling Tianxu who was looking at her outside the Imperial Palace, Xiao Mo smiled at him and followed King Jing away.
Ling Tianxu sighed gloomily: "When you and I meet, it becomes a hurried glance." ”
Since Xiao Mo came to Ling Hao's side, Ling Hao let Xiao Mo follow wherever he went, and he didn't let her avoid discussing with the minister, which seemed to give her full trust.
It is said that trust is mutual, but there is still a knot in Xiao Mo's heart that has not yet been untied, that is, whether King Ping's death was done by King Jing.
Now there is only one clue that can investigate this case, that is, the pulse case of the Tai Hospital, how can she see the pulse case of the Tai Hospital?
Last time, the imperial doctor said that only officials above the court judgment could see the pulse case, if she wanted to ask for this official position, would Ling Hao agree?
If you don't try, how do you know?
Last time, Ling Hao said that he wanted to credit her, and asked Xiao Mo what reward he wanted, Xiao Mo dragged it out until now on the grounds that he didn't think about it, isn't this just an opportunity?
Xiao Mo proposed to Ling Hao to ask for an official position, but Ling Hao did not refuse, and then asked the housekeeper to send Ben Yanguo's official position to her room.
"The official position above, Xiao Gongzi will tell the slave which one he likes, and the slave will go back to the prince."
Xiao Mo frowned slightly: "There are all official positions and grades above, and I didn't say whether it was vacant or not." ”
"Although the prince chooses, the prince will let this son vacate."
Vacant, that is to say, the original owner was directly removed and replaced by her? is so selfish, it is really the first to get the moon near the water, following King Jing, it can be said that the wind is windy and rainy, no wonder so many people want to enter King Jing's Mansion to be a doorman.
If you want to say how much official position King Jing can give her, Xiao Mo didn't know at first, she flipped through the official position records, and even the prime minister was on it, but even if she was chosen, she might not dare to be willful.
Xiao Mo has her own sense of proportion, maybe Ling Hao is just testing how ambitious she is, she really chooses Prime Minister King Jing, and if Xiao Mo doesn't want to enter the hospital, he won't propose to be an official.
Xiao Mo flipped through it, and found a position in the Tai Hospital Judge in that pile of official positions, a six-rank official, this rank is not greedy.
"That's it." Xiao Mo pointed to the official position and showed it to Steward Li.
Steward Li was incredulous: "Too hospital sentence? ”
Xiao Mo smiled and said politely: "There is a housekeeper Lao Li to return to the prince." ”
"Xiao Gongzi knows how to heal?"
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and nodded reluctantly, she forgot that the hospital sentence was also a doctor, but last time she saved Imperial Doctor Liu, King Jing should know, and probably won't doubt it.
