Chapter 26: Clever and unmatched
A hint of teasing flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said lightly: "If she can really come up with a way to cure the water, why does she need to go to see Xiao Qi today to come up with it?" She was in a hurry to give herself credit, and she simply faced the saint, she never thought that once this water control technique was accepted, if there was any problem in the implementation process, the result would indeed be unassumable. ”
Meng's mother's face was also a little dignified, Zhou Lizhang ordered someone to praise the Su family overnight, understanding that he had identified this water control technique, if there was really a problem, Zhou Lizhang was angry, even if he read the Su family's former anointing, the Su family was afraid that it would be difficult to escape.
The second girl is fighting for the future with all the lives of the Su family.
Although she thought so in her heart, Meng's mother might have comforted the old Han people: "Old Han people, don't be so negative." It is likely that this water control technique is the most useful, and the second girl's move can also get a credit for the Su family. ”
Thinking that this water control technique was finally thought up by Su Juan, the old man's expression eased slightly, and he handed over to Mother Meng and said, "You plan the plan, I want to go to the ancestral hall." ”
Mother Meng and Rose sent the old Han to the ancestral hall, and the two waited for their appearance.
Mrs. Su had a humble background, lost her father when she was a child, lost her mother when she was a teenager, and had no brothers and sisters.
By chance, the old lady Su saved Emperor Yongzhou, who was the sixth prince in the past, so the Su family got up by relying on the emperor's grace and built an ancestral hall like other families.
It's just that the ancestral hall of the Su family is not big, and there are very few tablets, so only the ancestors and fathers of the old lady Su are enshrined.
In the end, Mrs. Su passed away, and there were only three generations of tablets on the ancestral hall.
After closing the door of the ancestral hall, the old Han worshipped her ancestors and in-laws, who had never met before, and finally set her eyes on the tablet at the bottom.
The position of Su Yuanliang, the Duke of Su.
There are only a few words on the tablet, but the old Han can't move his eyes away for a long time, and he can't help muttering to himself on the tablet.
"Yuan Liang, should you have seen the current situation at home? I used to complain about you, but now that I'm alone, I feel miserable, and I always think of the time when you were still there. If you have a spirit in heaven, then bless the Su family through this ordeal......"
This night, no one in the Su family slept.
The next day, Zhou Lizhang mentioned this water control technique, and there were many vetoes in the court, and after all the bewilderments were answered, this technique was quickly accepted by countless ministers.
The Ministry of Industry still praised it more or less, and learned that this water control skill was actually offered by a deep girl, and his face was a little unbearable
The sixth prince's face was full of joy, he didn't expect that the second girl Su was so clever and praised by her father, so she had the greatest possibility of becoming his sixth prince's concubine.
Prince Yin calmed his face and glanced at Zhou Xiuhao fiercely.
Zhou Xiuyan was also confused, Su Qianshu was beautiful, but if she had such a ability to control water, he didn't believe it, and he believed that there was bound to be something strange in it.
Su Tianwang almost couldn't hold back the joy at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, the Su family has never been complacent like today for so many years, he firmly believes that the beautiful second daughter Su Qianshu can not only bring today's reputation to the Su family, but also make the Su family the most noble family in Zhou Yanguo.
Seeing the change in the brightness of the crowd, Zhou Lizhang looked at Guo Jiangyong and said: "Guo Aiqing, I ordered you to lead 20,000 soldiers to the Huaizhou Fire Line to control the water, do you have the faith to realize this heavy burden?" ”
Guo Jiangyong immediately knelt down: "Wechen received the order, with such a good strategy for water control, Wechen will inevitably achieve his mission and live up to Zhou Lizhang's trust!" ”
Guo Jiangyong is also a little generous in his heart, since the Guo family sponsored Emperor Yongzhou to succeed to the throne and peace of mind, Zhou Yanguo has never had any war.
Taiping civil official Xun Shi military general, who has been idle at home for all these years, can be reused again, how can he not be generous?
Zhou Lizhang clapped slightly: "The best!" Guo Aiqing immediately planned that at noon, I would send you out of the city to face the battle. ”
The eunuch in the palace handed over the talisman to Guo Jiangyong, and Guo Jiangyong immediately replied loudly: "Thank you Zhou Lizhang for your reward!" ”
Zhou Lizhang personally sent the soldiers out of the city, which was just a supreme brilliance.
"Retreat!" The high voice of the eunuchs in the palace sounded, and the early dynasty ended in the solemn air, and the princes and courtiers retreated with different looks.
After going down, the crown prince angrily slammed the fold hidden in his sleeve into Zhou Xiuhao's face: "Didn't you say that all the water control techniques you came up with would be adopted by my father?" Why did my father have more perfect water control skills in his hands? ”
The prince spoke sharply, today he saw Zhou Xiuhao's book dedicated to him, he was the most generous, so he waited for the court to present the book to his father, he just wanted to welcome his father, but he didn't expect his father to have a better plan.
Now he is only glorified that he did not present the recital earlier, otherwise the terrain will only be more humiliating than it is now.
Zhou Xiuhao let the prince throw the fold in his face, his face hurt hotly, but he didn't feel the pain, because now his heart was full of why.
The water control skills dedicated to the prince or he painstakingly came up with them, and the dove was in line with the cleverness of the staff, I am afraid that the secret will be leaked, and he will do it himself from the transcription to the prince, but he didn't expect it or something was wrong.
The water control technique in the hands of his father is most similar to the water control technique he dedicated to the crown prince, but it is superior. And this skill or Su Qianshu came up with a deep girl, so he really couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that Zhou Xiuhao was silent for a long time, the prince became more and more angry, and kicked him hard: "Are you dead, language, now that the limelight is occupied by others, what should I do?" ”
With this kick, the prince finally returned to Zhou Xiuhao's thinking.
Zhou Xiuhao endured his sadness and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, please give your brother a little more time, and your brother will definitely come up with a better way to control the water." ”
Seeing Zhou Xiuhao's resolute expression, the prince's expression eased slightly: "If you want time, I'll give you time to come up with a way to control the water." Otherwise, don't call me second brother anymore. ! ”
Zhou Xiuhao's expression was fixed for half a minute, and after bowing to the prince, he retreated respectfully.
Busy until noon, Zhou Xiuhao didn't think of a better way to control water, so he had to abandon it, and instead studied Su Qianshu's water control skills, hoping to find out the general idea and improve it, which is also a good strategy.
Compared with Zhou Xiuhao's loss, Guo Jiangyong can be described as infinitely beautiful.
In front of the city gate, Guo Jiangyong rode a magnificent horse, cheered up, and said goodbye to Zhou Lizhang and hundreds of officials who saw him off.
Getting the news, the corners of Su Wan's mouth hooked up with a coldness, Su Qianshu really had the means to persuade Zhou Lizhang to order Guo Jiangyong, his maternal uncle, to control the water.
However, it is indeed an individual effort to control the water, and it does require the ability of these skilled generals and soldiers to be more fruitful.
Since Su Qianshu decided that this was a great achievement, she let her be complacent for a while, and at the fastest time, she would let Su Qianshu test her body, the higher she screamed, the worse she fell.
Su Qianshu, who was in Baoyin Temple, was a little apprehensive when she first got the news.
Last night, when she met Zhou Lizhang, she thought that she couldn't be preempted by Su Juan to take credit for herself, and only after this burst of generosity and enthusiasm did she get nervous, this water control technique was adopted by Zhou Lizhang, in case something really went wrong at that time, it would be an unforgivable crime, and it would bring infamy to herself.
However, Su Qianshu quickly put her mind at ease, there is no carelessness in the appearance of this water control technique, and through Zhou Lizhang, the Ministry of Industry and the hundred officials, she should not notice any problems, plus the general of water control is her maternal uncle, she wrote down the attention to the incident early and ordered someone to send it to her maternal uncle, there should be nothing wrong, now everything is arranged, what she needs to do now is to wait for the result.
Thinking of the praise and reputation she would receive once the water control was successful, Su Qianshu's mood couldn't help but become generous again.
Huaizhou is the most tense place for flooding, and when Guo Jiangyong arrived, he only saw a dirty yellow ocean in front of him, and the surging torrential rain had already drenched the boats.
The inland soldiers who were the first to fight in the line of fire had already been swept away by the floods and there were only a few thousand left, and when they saw General Guo's majestic division, they finally saw the hope of their livelihood.
Seeing this scene, Guo Jiangyong's expression became solemn, and according to the decision on water control made with several deputy generals and the jurisdiction of the guards, he led 20,000 soldiers to implement it day and night.
Seeing such a tyrannical pomp, every soldier fought the most desperately against natural disasters.
However, in five days, the first results of water control were seen.
The people in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Huai River basin have been moved to safe places, and the height of the water in the upper reaches has dropped by 30 inches, and they are still in the process of landing.
This good news was transmitted back to Yandu City, and Zhou Lizhang was very happy, and immediately issued an order to praise the Guo family and the Su family and a group of soldiers in the line of fire.
However, in just a few days, the Guo family and the Su family were temporarily unmatched.
There are two women who have benefited the most from the achievements of water control, one of which is the second daughter of the Guo family, Guo Shujing.
After Guo Shujing entered the palace for more than ten years, she used to be the most favored, but later fell out of favor for no reason, although she was a concubine, she was an inconsequential concubine in the harem.
Some people say that Concubine Jing was disgusted by Zhou Lizhang because she had no children for many years, and some people say that it was because the peaceful Taiping military general Guo Jia was useless and could not focus on the country, so Zhou Lizhang hated Concubine Jing.
No matter why Concubine Jing fell out of favor at first, Concubine Jing made a contribution to the Guo family's water control, and on the day when the good news came to the line of fire, Zhou Lizhang spent the night in Concubine Jing's palace, and this woman, who was almost quickly forgotten by the palace, successfully regained her favor.
Since the resumption of favor, Zhou Lizhang has spent the night in Concubine Jing's palace, and in the future, Concubine Jing's limelight in the harem is unmatched, even the queen of the head of the six palaces has to avoid three points.
The second woman who benefited was the second girl of the Su State Mansion who gave the water control skills stolen from Su Juan to Zhou Lizhang, Su Qianshu.
Su Qianshu has been in her own life, and in the past ten years, through the dismal operation of doctors, she has continuously had a good reputation, the first woman in Dumen, a friendly sister, and a clever and unparalleled.
