Chapter 301: Holy Drive
Even if something happens to the workers, those workers who are still on the job are conscientious and methodical, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.
The two were walking, and suddenly a fast horse rode over in the distance, and the big inner servant saw that it was the little Neiguan Dezi beside him, he was supposed to stay in the capital, if there was any news, personally send me here, and now the fast horse rushed over, it seems that there is new news.
The emperor left the capital, although everything was managed by the emperor's trusted King Mu Jun and the prime minister, but if there was anything important, let him send it immediately.
Dezi got off the horse, knelt down in front of the emperor and said: "I don't know if this matter should alarm the emperor, but I think this is a matter of the five princes, and the emperor has to deal with it, and the prime minister does not dare to cross the robe of the ancestors." ”
The emperor frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with the fifth prince?" ”
Dezi immediately respectfully presented a piece of music from his arms, handed it to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, not long after you left Beijing, Yanzhou's music came here. ”
"What excerpt?" The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, and before he could see the content clearly, countless speculations flashed in his heart, wouldn't it be to shirk responsibility at this time? He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, no one wants to be responsible for these things, and they don't have time to run when things come.
Tokuko didn't know what was going on, so he stood aside and didn't say a word.
The emperor sighed, sometimes in this position, even his own son can't believe it, but the content on it when he opens the fold is completely different from what he imagined.
Gu Jianglin wrote in the recital that he was not taking care of the accident alone, and he was willing to take all the responsibility, and when the dam project was completed, he would naturally go to the capital to plead guilty.
After reading it, the emperor sighed faintly, "No wonder the prime minister can't solve it, and only I can punish my son." ”
When the big chamberlain heard this, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, "Your Majesty, you don't really want to ......"
The emperor chuckled, "Until the end, I won't trust anyone." With that, he put the fold away and strode forward.
The river is surging, rolling in mud and sand, rushing forward, although the water is fast, but there is no intention of rushing and breaking the embankment.
The emperor and his entourage watched from the river, and if they met passers-by, they would stop and ask what the people who had lived here for a long time thought of the dam.
The big guys don't understand either, they just hope that things will get better after the dam is built.
When it was almost time to inquire about the people's situation, the emperor said: "It's time to go back and gather with the big army." ”
The big chamberlain smiled and said: "The news that you left the capital has been suppressed before, but now that most of the people have rushed to Yanzhou, I am afraid that the five princes will be alarmed, and you should also go back." ”
The emperor smiled faintly.
When Gu Jianglin was dealing with the finishing work, he suddenly got the news that the emperor was coming, he thought that the people below knew it, and when he saw Yujia walking along the road towards this side, he believed that it was true, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, it was because the emperor didn't believe him, so he came here in person, after all, it was a major plan for the people's livelihood, and it was absolutely impossible to hand it over to others casually.
He looked at himself who was now disgraced, just now because of the lack of manpower, he went up to help, but the clothes he got were all dirt, and he was disgraced, he really couldn't see the holy driver, seeing that the imperial car was getting closer and forward, Gu Jianglin immediately ordered his subordinates and said: "You go and take it first, I'll change my clothes and come." ”
The people under him looked embarrassed: "But if the emperor sees that you are not there, in case you are to blame......"
Gu Jianglin looked down at himself, "If I go to see my father like this, I'm afraid my father will also blame me." With that, he turned and went into the tent.
Seeing that the royal car was getting closer and closer, his subordinates did not dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly led people forward to meet him.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head to look outside and said, "Didn't the fifth prince come over?" ”
The subordinate chuckled in his heart, this posture sounded like a posture to ask for sin, thinking of this, he immediately said: "The fifth prince learned that he was filthy and inconvenient to drive, so he bathed and changed his clothes. ”
When the emperor heard this, he sighed slightly, "What is he doing?" ”
When the subordinates saw the emperor's expression, they couldn't guess the joy and anger, so they immediately said: "The fifth prince hasn't seen the emperor for too long, so he will treat it with such etiquette." ”
The emperor nodded, didn't say much, turned his head to look like a big chamberlain, "I remember that there is no palace here, so you can find a clean and elegant place for me." ”
The Great Chamberlain nodded.
At this time, the local officials in Yanzhou were only late, and immediately greeted them, "Weichen is late, please forgive the emperor." ”
"I have asked you to cooperate with the work of the five princes all along, and it just so happens that you are all here, so let's talk about it, how have you done until now?" The emperor said lightly.
The ministers looked at each other, not understanding what the emperor meant by asking.
But the emperor didn't say a word on it, and the ministers didn't want the emperor to sit down, so the assassin came out and said in a deep voice: "Resettle the victims and build the river embankment, now the disaster has been controlled, but there is a bit of a shortage of food." ”
"You're a man who is willing to tell the truth." The emperor nodded slightly, but now that the treasury is empty, and there is no way to mobilize a large amount of food, he also feels a little distressed in his heart.
"A lot of farmland has been flooded, and it was not dealt with well in the spring, and now it is basically almost past the season of cultivation, although it can still be cultivated, I am afraid that when it comes to the harvest season, there will not be much harvest, so Weichen wants to ask His Majesty for one thing." Thorn Shi said.
The emperor raised his eyes slightly: "Speak." ”
"The reputation is hard, after the autumn harvest, it is the day to collect the stomach and sleep, and the minister wants to ask the emperor to exempt Yanzhou farmers from paying taxes for one year." Thorn Shi said.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Exempt from taxes for one year? ”
Thorn Shi thought that the emperor disagreed, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
The emperor thought for a while, and then continued: "This time the disaster is really a natural and man-made disaster, it is rare to see in a hundred years, the victims suffered heavy casualties, and even left their homes, now that the situation has improved, they can come back a little, naturally they are exempted from taxes, and the instructions of the pass on to exempt the peasants on both sides of the strait from paying taxes for three years." ”
As soon as Thorn Shi heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, "The emperor is sage." ”
"This is also what should be done, since the beginning of last winter, and now there are more than a few months, and the disaster has just been alleviated, and it is also I, the emperor, who have not dealt with it well." The emperor sighed.
When others saw the emperor say this, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and after a while, the emperor smiled and said, "What about the five princes, haven't you come out yet?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Jianglin walked out of the tent and immediately knelt on the ground, "Erchen see my father." ”
The emperor glanced at him, and saw that he was wearing a wide robe, like a well-mannered showman, very casual and comfortable.
Gu Jianglin told a joke. In the past two days, he loves to be clean, so he changed his clothes many times, so he looked in the room, but there were not many changes of clothes, so he could only find one casually.
Because I often go for a ride by the river, I also changed a lot of pairs of shoes, and I just went to look for them, but there was no pair of them that were not stained with mud and sand, so I had to continue to wear the dirty shoes just now, and I could only use this wide robe to cover up a little, hoping that it would not be insulting to the saint.
