Chapter 131: Princess Qingdu and Ma III

The Empress Dowager asked Princess Qingdu to help her left and right and said, "You still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell." For this matter, you can only beg the emperor, and it is useless to beg me. ”

The eldest princess of Qingdu immediately transferred to the Qianqing Palace.

just came to the Qianqing Palace, but was stopped by Wang Zhen, saying that the emperor was busy with official business, so let the princess wait.

The eldest princess of Qingdu can only wait.

However, Wang Zhen did not lie.

Zhu Qizhen is really busy with business, if nothing else, it is the waterlogging problem in Beijing.

It was already dark at the moment, and I don't know if it was because it was late in the evening, or because of the heavy rain that never stopped, and it kept raining.

Yu Qian held a candle and illuminated a map of Beijing's city defense, introducing the situation of each square in Beijing 1510.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the map, and under his orders, all the places that had been flooded were painted blue, and the places that might have been flooded were colored with blue dotted coils.

As for the drainage channels that have already worked, they are realized with red, and the drainage channels that are being constructed overnight are implemented with red dotted lines.

Zhu Qizhen saw it, and his heart finally settled down. Looking at the map, the red dotted lines have changed from dotted to solid, and each additional drainage channel reduces the waterlogging in the city by a few points.

As Yu Qian said before, this is just a waterlogging.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Is there any problem now? ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty captured the horse Jiao Jing, the city was full of nobles, and I didn't dare to disobey orders anymore, but the temple in the city was full, and the people had no place to go." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I know what you mean, and immediately let the palace vacate the empty house and let the people move in." ”

First the earthquake and then the flood, a large number of houses could not hold on.

In such weather, the people should not be allowed to rain in the open air.

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What is the water level of the Lugou River?" ”

Yu Qian said: "The rise is so great, the minister has already sent someone to inspect." Within a few days, there should be no problem. The minister has already ordered to go down, if the embankment of the Lugou River really can't support it, dig the embankment on the south bank. ”

Zhu Qizhen naturally understands that keeping the capital is the top priority of the imperial court, the Lugou River is not far from the south of Beijing, if the north bank of the Lugou River bursts, not to mention whether the water of the Lugou River will rush straight into Beijing, but the south of Beijing will become an ocean, and the water in Beijing will probably not be discharged.

There may also be a risk of backfilling.

It's just that for the people on the south bank, it is a catastrophe of destruction.

With Yu Qian's benevolence, I don't know how to entangle in my heart.

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's hard for Mr. Yu. ”

Yu Qian said: "This is the duty of a minister. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "After Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Beijing, Beijing is the foundation of the world, but there is such a foundation of the world. Not far out of the city, there is wasteland. The water system in various places is not smooth, and the Lugou River has flooded nine times in ten years. ”

"This situation must not continue."

Yu Qian said: "This is a dereliction of duty. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened, shook his head and said, "What do you have to do with Qing?" At the foot of the capital, it is always difficult to do something, and I know it. ”

Although Yu Qian is in the Shuntian prefect, he is also relatively outstanding.

But counting it carefully, Yu Qian didn't do anything big, because he couldn't do it.

If you are a local governor, there are many things that Yu Qian thinks can be done, so he will do it. Report a plan to the imperial court and make up some food for yourself.

But at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it's different.

Yu Qian mentioned the matter of Lugou River, but the household department was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry was transferred to the Ministry of Households, which went back and forth, and finally agreed.

And the only way to control the river is to strengthen the river embankment.

It's just the problem of the Lugou River, just one is fine.

The fundamental problem of the Lugou River is none other than the lack of access to the sea. The water of the Lugou River does not flow directly into the sea, but flows into the triangle with several rivers.

Triangle Lake is just west of Tianjin Wei and is a sizable lake.

But no matter how big the lake is, how can it be compared with the sea, once it encounters heavy rain, there is a suspicion of backfilling, and the breach is even more commonplace.

"However, after this time passes, I want a plan, a plan to let the Lugou River flow into the sea." Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth and said.

Yu Qian said: "The minister obeys the order. ”

Zhu Qizhen saw Yu Qian's eyes flushed, and knew that Yu Qian was also tired, so he didn't stay with Yu Qian, and said, "Mr. Yu, go back and rest first, I'm afraid this big water won't be able to recede for a while." ”

Zhu Qizhen sent Yu Qian away.

Wang Zhen came to report and said, "The eldest princess of Qingdu has been waiting for a long time. ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't want to see the eldest princess of Qingdu, because the disposal of Jiao Jing had already been decided, that is, in the name of obstructing water control, he would be punished for several crimes, and he would be punished with extraordinary laws. Wine.

However, Jiao Jing is a colt after all, so Zhu Qizhen first passed this matter to the cabinet.

But if you want to come to the cabinet, you won't refuse, and the edict has already been drafted.

Just follow the formal procedure, it is inevitable that it will be a little slow.

Things have come to this point that they can never be changed and cannot be changed.

Although the eldest princess of Qingdu is Xuanzong's younger sister, Zhu Qizhen is not too close to her, and even Xuanzong is not too close to her.

First, they are not brothers and sisters, and secondly, Xuanzong has been raised under Taizong's knees since he was a child, and his relationship with his sisters is also a little estranged.

Since Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne, he has not seen the eldest princess much.

It's hard to say anything emotional.

But after all, it's my aunt.

But no.

Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a while and said, "Please come over." ”

Princess Qingdu, under the leadership of Wang Zhen, soon came in, and as soon as she came in, she knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, no matter what the horse is, the concubine only asks Your Majesty to spare his life." ”

caught Zhu Qizhen off guard in an instant.

The true colors of a woman, one cry, two troubles and three hangings. Ancient and modern. It also made Zhu Qizhen have no choice.

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "Wang Daban, quickly help the eldest princess to get up." ”

Wang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward with a few little eunuchs and helped Princess Qingdu up, no, it should be said that it was set up. Princess Qingdu had no strength at all, and was forced onto the chair.

Then he cried and cried.

For a while, Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to do. Let him let Jiao Jing go, but Zhu Qizhen also refused.

After all, this matter is not only a matter in the palace, it has already been signed by the cabinet. Even if Zhu Qizhen wants to take it back, it will take a while.

The Empress Dowager was right, Zhu Qizhen took Jiao Jing to open the knife, and he may not have the idea of Liwei. At this moment, the shameful knife is difficult to sheath, and it is impossible to cry for one or two women and let him take back his life.

This is this posture, but it makes Zhu Qizhen difficult to parry.

Jiao Jing can do whatever he wants, after all, he is also an outsider compared to the royal family, but no matter what Zhu Qizhen does, it is impossible to do anything to the eldest princess of Qingdu.

After all, it's her, Zhu Yuantong is still surnamed Zhu.

The eldest princess of Qingdu is not a shrew, the eldest princess of Qingdu is in front of the queen mother. But he didn't dare to be presumptuous at all. It's just that she has thought about it deeply, and the reason is no longer clear. She knew her colt all too well, but she wasn't a master of peace.

As long as you check carefully, you don't know how many places have violated the royal law.

Therefore, she can only use methods that are not the way.

Sure enough, Zhu Qizhen couldn't resist for a while.

"Sister, what's going on?" A voice came. Zhu Qizhen looked back, but saw who it was not Sun?

But as soon as he saw Sun's signal, two female officials immediately stepped forward and supported Princess Qingdu.

Sun said slowly: "It's getting late, you have a lot of inconvenience in the Qianqing Palace, and you just happened to catch up with your sister-in-law." How is it? ”

What did Sun say in his mouth, but above the tone, he couldn't hesitate for half a minute, and almost dragged the eldest princess down.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said, "Queen Mother? ”

Sun smiled lightly and said: "Outside affairs, my mother can't help you, this woman's affairs, my mother has dealt with it." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "She is my aunt after all? ”

Sun said: "Don't worry, I don't know the severity? If there is such a thing, let Wang Zhen come to me. ”

Only then did Zhu Qizhen understand why the Sun family came in such a timely manner.

It turned out that the number of Sun's segments was nothing in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, but when it came to dealing with other women, it was also first-class.
