The spring water is like a mirror, empty and washed, and the sparkling waves are full of passenger boats.

The long dragon swept over the Pingchuan, and the remnants of the flowers were faint and a few people were worried.

Now it is the fourth day of the southern tour, in these four days, Xiao Zhuo, who was still a little grateful for his father's loyalty, has gradually strengthened his mind, once he still wanted to save the Great Sui Sheji, but instead promoted a series of immeasurable consequences. Now, he really decided to follow the heavens and not do anything else, just because some of the practices of the saints today these days are indeed unorthodox in his opinion.

First of all, on the second day of the fleet's departure, due to the fact that Yu Wenhua and only prepared food for the fleet for one day before leaving, the entire fleet was facing a crisis of food shortage, and Yu Wenhua and his explanation for this matter was "How can the Son of Heaven eat overnight food!" At the same time, Yu Wenhua also used this as an excuse to ask the Holy Edict: Where the dragon ship passes, the food and supplies needed by the fleet are supplied by the local counties, and the ingredients must be fresh ingredients of the day! There was nothing wrong with this edict, after all, ordinary people still preferred fresh ingredients when eating, not to mention the things that the saints ate. But the problem is that the ship is now moving, and the speed of the fleet will be affected by many factors, such as weather, material preparation, emergencies, and even the health of a concubine, which can cause the entire fleet to stand still for a day. And once the fleet is stagnant, the local counties that originally calculated the date of arrival of the fleet, the things they prepared before will have to be re-prepared, and it will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and this kind of thing will undoubtedly be even worse for the already dangerous Great Sui Jiangshan!

However, this is still secondary, and the most serious is the reward and punishment for this southward trip. Because it was a sailing, the gold, silver and jade prepared by the fleet were quite limited, and it was far away from the capital of the capital, and every time the saint rewarded a meritorious person, the reward could not be distributed immediately, but it was based on Yu culture and proposed: the gift of the saint was either recorded first, or temporarily distributed by the local treasury, and after the fleet returned to Beijing, it was reissued by the national treasury and repaid to the local county. In this way, each county is under pressure to contribute food first, and then bears the burden of reward, and all of them do not want the land under their jurisdiction to be safe and sound, but only want the dragon boat to pass through their own jurisdiction as soon as possible. For this reason, the local counties that had not implemented the unsightly ban issued by the imperial court also began to implement this prohibition without slackening, for fear that there would be some chaos in their own jurisdiction, and even more afraid that the chaos would be exposed by people with ill intentions, so as to receive merit and reward. However, fortunately, the magistrates of some counties are more sympathetic to the people's feelings, and after keeping the people away from the riverbank, they will arrange temporary shelters, while some are left to the people to fend for themselves!

Xiao Zhuo learned these things from the abbot of Hansi last night, and for this reason, Xiao Zhuo had a big quarrel with Yuwen Chengdu after returning to the dragon boat, and the two broke up unhappily. Because Xiao Zhuo hoped that Yuwen Cheng could go to participate in this matter overnight, so that the saint could know the situation on both sides of the strait, so that the people could return home as soon as possible, but Yu Wencheng did not make up his mind for a long time on the grounds that his son did not say anything about his father's fault. So Xiao Zhuo laughed at him: What else can you see in your life except for watching the intrigue of hundreds of officials in front of the Holy Driver? This was the case before the Emperor, and now it is the same in front of His Majesty! The first emperor ruled martial arts, was diligent in government and loved the people, you don't ask about political affairs, it won't affect anything, but what about Your Majesty! First of all, your father Yu culture and bullying to gain power, and the saint himself is earnest, and what he does is inevitably extreme and inappropriate, at this time you are still silent, how can the court still be clear!

Thinking of the dispute with Yuwen Chengdu last night, Xiao Zhuo, who was being ordered to paint on the boat, couldn't help but look around, but he didn't find Yuwen Chengdu's figure. He didn't know if Yuwen Chengdu was leaving his post without permission today, or if he was going out on official business, but with his understanding of Yuwen Chengdu, if it wasn't for something that endangered His Majesty's safety, Yuwen Chengdu would never be by His Majesty's side! Everyone on the boat was still watching the singing and dancing, but a Yellow Gate courtier hurriedly walked in front of the saint, took out a piece of music from his sleeve and presented it, Yang Guang glanced at it, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The attendant knew that the saint hated being interrupted Yaxing the most, but the music in his hand was written by Yang Lin, the king of the mountain, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to reply stubbornly: "Your Majesty, this is the Dengzhou Mansion concert transferred from Luoyang, because when the concert was sent, the king of the backer did not know that His Majesty had left Luoyang, so the concert arrived in Luoyang three days ago, and it was only sent to His Majesty today." ”

"It turned out to be Uncle Huang's recital!" Although Yang Guang was a little unhappy in his heart, Yang Lin was his imperial uncle after all, and he still had to give face to give, so he picked up the piece and took a look, but before he finished reading it, he was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, and the singers who were performing music were also frightened by his action and stopped.

"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Yu Wenhua stepped forward and asked.

"Uncle Huang played the table, the 480,000 taels of the Emperor Gang he raised for me was robbed by the ringing horses in the jurisdiction of Jinan Mansion ten days ago, and now the emperor uncle has ordered all the counties under the jurisdiction of Jinan Mansion to find out this group of ringing horses within three months! Under the rule of my Great Sui, Xiangma dared to rob the royal family's things, how rampant his courage was! ”

"Your Majesty! At this time, since it has been done by the king of the backer, he must be able to find the emperor by then, and in the style of the king of the backer, he will definitely eradicate all these ringing horses, so as to set an example, why should Your Majesty be angry! Zhu Guier persuaded each other, Yang Guang thought about it, it is true, Da Sui Sheji may not be reliable by others, but Yang Lin, the king of the backer, is absolutely reliable!

"Let's all go down!" Yang Guang ordered the singers to leave, and then turned his head to ask Zhu Gui'er beside him: "Concubine Ai, the queen sent someone to tell me today that Bao'er and Ziyan were in poor health, and ordered the dragon boat to stay for a day, how are they now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is about to tell Your Majesty that Sister Ziyan has been a little seasick these days, and her body is really a little unbearable, and the queen has sent someone to send her back to Luoyang this morning. Sister Bao'er was infected with the wind chill last night, and the queen mother was afraid that she would harm His Majesty's dragon body, so she still ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her! ”

A burst of soft whispers came out of Zhu Guier's mouth, and the person who was shocked was Xiao Zhuo, who was painting. Last night, he obviously killed Yuan Bao'er with his own hands and seriously injured Yuan Ziyan, why did Zhu Gui'er say that Yuan Bao'er was recuperating in the cabin at this time? And it stands to reason that it should be Yuan Ziyan who is recuperating in the cabin! Yuan Bao'er was pierced by him with a sword last night, wasn't she already dead? What kind of injuries do you have?

"Oh! Bao'er is in poor health, and I am currently going to visit! After Yang Guang finished speaking, he was about to take him away, but he saw that Xiao Zhuo was still painting, so he stopped and walked over, and asked Xiao Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, can you finish your painting?" When Xiao Zhuo heard this, he also put down the paintbrush in his hand and handed over the Qunfang opera and dance picture that had been drawn. Yang Guang looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said as if he had just woken up from a dream: "No wonder I look at the song and dance just now is awkward, it turns out that the problem is here!" Tunnel asked Xiao Zhuo again: "Xiao Zhuo, in your paintings, why do all the women's skirts hang down?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is spring at this time, although the weather is not as hot as midsummer, but living under the scorching sun for a long time will still make people sweat. And the dancers here are all women, and the women are frail and can't stand the weather, so when these singers dance, their skirts will be close to the body due to sweat, and they will lose their graceful demeanor. ”

Hearing Xiao Zhuo say this, Yang Guang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hmm! What a shame! The delicate and beautiful face has lost her style due to pink sweat staining her clothes, which is really unsatisfactory! ”

Listening to Yang Guang's sigh again and again, Yu Wenhua, who was on the side, also stepped forward, and was about to say something, but saw the figure of Yuwen Chengdu coming from the other side of the deck, step by step sonorous and powerful, and the sound of stepping on the deck attracted everyone to look over. "Your Majesty! The minister has something to do! ”

Yang Guang saw that the person who came was Yuwen Chengdu, and he also wanted to know why he didn't come to duty early in the morning, which is indeed a rare thing for Yuwen Chengdu, who has always been strict and self-disciplined, and now seeing that Yuwen Chengdu is now acting like this, he is also curious about what can make Yuwen Chengdu so concerned, so he asked: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister learned today that there was a murder ten miles away, just in case, he went to check, but found that the people within ten miles on both sides of the canal were driven away from their homes by the county officials, resulting in the displacement of the people, and there was no place to live ten miles away. After Yuwen Cheng finished speaking, he didn't raise his head, just because he didn't want to look at Xiao Zhuo. Last night, Xiao Zhuo asked him to explain the matter, and he was still skeptical, but when he followed Xiao Zhuo's instructions to bury the bodies of those homeless people ten miles away, he found that everything was not much different from what Xiao Zhuo said, and he even asked people to go to other places on both sides of the strait to check, but those places were also uninhabited. And the initiator of this phenomenon is still his father! While he is now presenting this matter to the Holy Lord, he is undoubtedly impeaching his father, Yu Wenhua.

"Is that so?" Yang Guang was also a little surprised, what he saw on the boat was the prosperous scene on both sides of the canal, as well as the people competing to deliver food, but he never thought that all this was deliberately arranged. "Yuwen Shaoqing, what's going on?"

"Qiqi Sheng, Weichen has also heard about this matter!" Yu Wenhua and Ying Sheng walked out, and replied unhurriedly: "When the river was first formed, both sides of the river bank withered and broken, and His Majesty intended to go south to the Jiangdu, Wei Chen ordered the counties along the river to repair the river banks, but he never thought that they would expel the people. ”

"Then how should this matter be resolved, how can my people continue to be displaced!" Yang Guang asked. And Yu Wenhua replied: "Your Majesty, there is a countermeasure for this matter, and the matter of Xiao Gongzi's sweating can also be solved in one place." ”

"Yuwen Shaoqing, talk quickly!" Yang Guang asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, the reason why the singer sweats is because there is no green shade on the riverbank, and the canal is not long after it was built, and there is no decoration on both sides of the river. Your Majesty may wish to decree that whoever plants willow trees on the banks of the river shall be given a reward of varying degrees according to the size of the tree he planted. When the dragon boat docks again, the singer will naturally be in the shade of green, no longer sweating, and the people will also have something to gain and return to their homes. ”

"Hmmm! That's a great way to do it! In your opinion, what kind of trees should be planted? As soon as Yang Guang's voice fell, another voice sounded in the distance: "Your Majesty might as well plant willow trees!" "Everyone is looking for prestige, it turns out that it was Queen Xiao Meiniang who stepped on the deck," Zhangtai Yanliu has always been enjoyed by literati and ink writers, and Jiangnan has been the hometown of famous people since ancient times, and His Majesty is the prince of poetry and books, why not imitate this romantic move, with the heart of famous scholars! Xiao Meiniang walked towards Yang Guang step by step, and there was another figure behind her-Yuan Bao'er!

[Plot Follow-up]

"Master Li, what are you doing in my house?" Regarding Li Chunfeng's horse rushing straight into his mansion, Qin Qiong tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and asked kindly.

"Qin Guogong, borrow your royal gift for a golden purpose!" Li Chunfeng pinched the sword trick in his hand, and another spell was recited, only to see a golden light flash out from Qin Qiong's mansion, Li Chunfeng had already held the golden mace, and threw it into the sky, just at this time, there was another thunderbolt in the sky, and the golden mace instantly did not know where to fly.

"Master Li, this ......" Qin Qiong was also a little panicked about the thunderbolt that appeared in front of him. There is a way that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and this matter was done by Li Chunfeng himself, which inevitably made him worried.

"Someone will send it back!" After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he dismounted and walked towards the Qin Mansion, sitting in the lobby impartially.

Half an hour later, the palace sent the internal officials to summon Qin Qiong into the palace, and when the internal officials saw that it was not Qin Qiong but Li Chunfeng sitting in the main hall of the Qin Mansion, they knew that the matter was not trivial, so they hurriedly returned to the palace to report.
