Chapter 260: The Emperor's Private Visit
"Sha Yi, everything is up to the old man, you must know that if you want to leave here, you can only have a chance to leave if you capture that Zhang Da." Valing felt that the crazy old man was by no means a simple character, so he said to Sha Yi very seriously.
Sha Yi didn't want to listen to the crazy old man, but he definitely had to listen to Valing's words, so he obediently sneaked to Lord Zhang's side, and while Lord Zhang was sitting on the horse and was desperately reprimanding all the laborers, he went up and grabbed him, and said loudly: "Lord Zhang, hurry up and give an order, release people." ”
Master Zhang didn't expect Sha Yi to sneak attack, and pinched his neck, and suddenly he was so frightened that he screamed, and sat on the horse and shouted loudly: "Let go of me, let go of me quickly." ”
"I tell you, don't mess around, if you do, I'll break your neck on the spot." Sha Yi sat on the horse with Master Zhang, and yelled loudly at Lord Zhang.
Seeing Sha Yi's vicious appearance, all the officers and soldiers were very scared, and they all retreated one after another, for fear that Sha Yi would be angry again and really break Lord Zhang's neck, but it would be troublesome.
"Su Fan, what should I do next?" Sha Yi didn't have an idea after all, and sat on his horse and said to Valing.
"Uncle, what do you think we should do next?" Valing could see that this old man was not a simple person, so he asked the old man for instructions.
"Tell all the officers and soldiers to stand together for me, I have something to say to them." The crazy old man said to Sha Yi.
"Did you hear that, all the officers and soldiers stood here for me!" Sha Yi sat on the horse and shouted to all the officers and soldiers, very majestic.
For the sake of Lord Zhang's life, the officers and soldiers stood aside, even obediently.
"Send someone to inform the Governor to come over." The crazy old man looked at all the officers and soldiers and said very majestically.
Seeing that although the crazy old man was dressed very dirty and messy, his spirit was flashing and his momentum was imposing, one of the leaders of the officers and soldiers immediately replied: "The governor is at the post station not far from us, so we will go and invite him over." ”
Hearing that Lord Zhang was caught in the stone field, the governor quickly came to the stone field in a sedan chair, looking at the stalemate situation, which made him very worried, and walked forward in a trembling manner and said in a panic: "Childe, if you have something to say, don't hurt Lord Zhang." ”
"Your Excellency, are you blind? Don't you see me standing here? The crazy old man looked at the governor and said angrily.
Hearing someone claiming to be me, the governor was so frightened that he immediately walked up to the crazy old man, but when he saw the crazy old man's sloppy and dirty appearance, he asked puzzledly, "Who are you?" ”
"Sun Daoran, did I say you were blind? I don't even know me anymore. The mad old man looked at the governor and kicked him in the shoulder angrily and scolded.
Sun Daoran heard the crazy old man's words clearly this time, quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, looked at it again and again, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shouted: "I didn't know that the emperor arrived, I couldn't meet him from afar, and I forgave my sins." ”
Hearing that the emperor had arrived, all the people involuntarily knelt on the ground, but Sha Yi was still riding on the horse with Lord Zhang.
Looking at the large group of people kneeling in front of him, the emperor said to everyone very sternly: "Immediately remove all the positions of Lord Zhang, and at the same time appoint the Marquis of Dingbei to take over all the affairs of Lord Zhang, and at the same time immediately dismiss the workers here." ”
"The emperor is wise." Everyone shouted happily when they heard the emperor's decision, and kept thanking the emperor.
Sha Yi saw that the crazy old man was the emperor, and he was really stupid and stunned when he sat on the horse, and he didn't know what to do.
"Dingbei Hou, I said you should come down, you can't always sit on a horse." The emperor looked at Sha Yi's stupid appearance and joked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you see that I am so stupid, I have seen you so many times, and I can't even see the appearance of your private visit, I am really a big fool." Sha Yi slapped himself in the face, and said embarrassedly.
"Dingbei Hou, you have courage and no strategy, if it weren't for the fact that you are too stupid, why would I not give you rights? It's just because you're stupid that I haven't given you the right to do it. You see you've seen me so many times, and now that I've just changed my clothes, you won't recognize me, what a big idiot! The emperor knocked Sha Yi's head and scolded helplessly.
At this time, if it weren't for the time of employing people, he would not have temporarily pulled this Sha Yi into officialdom.
Looking at everything that suddenly happened in front of her, Valing was really stunned, she never dreamed that the crazy old man was the current emperor. Thinking that Sha Yi said that the emperor was a womanizer, Valing was afraid that the emperor would find out that she was disguised as a man, and then he would rob the people's daughters. You must know that she still wants to go back to see Su Fan, she doesn't want to be robbed to the palace by the emperor, and she doesn't want to live in the deep palace compound.
"Su Fan, you can go back to the capital with me, don't stay here anymore." The emperor liked Waling's appearance of talent very much, and wanted to bring Waling into the palace to stay by his side.
Seeing that the emperor was suddenly very gentle with him, Valing was really frightened, you must know that the companion is like a tiger, she definitely does not want to enter the palace. So he shrank and said: "Your Majesty, I'd better stay with Sha Yi, you must know that Sha Yi stays here to control the flood, and he needs an assistant, and I can just help him." ”
Sha Yi knew that the emperor was a womanizer, and immediately hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I really need an assistant who can be trusted, just let Su Fan stay with me, don't let him go with you." ”
"Sha Yi, you're right, then let Su Fan stay. And as long as you can control the flood well, I can promise to meet any conditions you put forward at that time. The emperor looked at Sha Yi and said thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, as long as I can manage the flood well, can you really grant me any request?" Sha Yi looked at the emperor and asked expectantly, he felt that he shouldn't have made any requests at this critical moment, but for the sake of Valing, he also let it go.
"Sha Yi, I am definitely a man of words, you can rest assured, what I promised you will definitely be fulfilled." The emperor hadn't seen that Valing was a woman, so no matter what Sha Yi asked, he would happily agree.
Sha Yi thought that once the flood control was successful, he would return to the capital and immediately ask Valing and Su Fan to reconcile, and then ask the emperor to marry Valing.
"Your Majesty, thank you for letting me stay here to help control the flood." Waling looked at the emperor and said very gratefully, you must know that she would rather stay by Sha Yi's side than follow the emperor back to the capital.
Since Valing knew that the emperor was a womanizer, she would not follow the emperor back to the capital, she understood that it was easy to enter the palace, and it was difficult to come out of the palace again.
The emperor looked at Sha Yi and Wa Ling, thought for a while and said: "Su Fan, the Marquis of Dingbei has just taken office, and he is not familiar with everything, you really need to seriously assist him." After the flood control is successful, you must follow the Dingbei Marquis back to the palace, and I want to see you. ”
Hearing the emperor's words, Sha Yi and Wa Ling were really startled, thinking that it would be better to delay it for a while, so the two of them knelt on the ground with a happy plop, and shouted loudly to the emperor: "Thank you, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
The emperor didn't want to leave Jiangnan for the time being, and wanted to stay here for a few more days, so by the way, he looked at Sha Yi's ability, and said: "Dingbei Hou, you can go and control the flood, I am temporarily living in the post house, and you can report anything at any time." ”
"Your Majesty, now is the time when the flood breaks out, you can't live here, so let's go back to the palace quickly." Sha Yi looked at the emperor and said worriedly, you must know that if the emperor has three long and two short here, I am afraid that the national society will be greatly affected.
"Don't be afraid, I can protect myself, you can rest assured, it's okay." The emperor didn't know why, he just wanted to stay in Jiangnan and didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to return to the capital for the time being.
Seeing that the emperor was stubborn, Sha Yi was very helpless and whispered to Valing: "Ling'er, you have to be careful, don't miss the horse's feet, this emperor won't be left for you." ”
"Sha Yi, don't say it, I'm really scared now, I knew that I really shouldn't have come to this Jiangnan, I'm so afraid of falling into the hands of this emperor, when the time comes, the life in the deep palace compound, won't I be too unfree." Valing covered his face with his sleeve and said to Sha Yi very worriedly.
"Ling'er remembers, don't show people in women's clothes anymore. Think of yourself as a man from now on, a man in the real way, you know? Sha Yi looked at Valing and said very seriously. Sha Yi did this, half for Valing, and half for himself.
"Don't worry, I don't need your advice, I'm definitely an upright man." Valing patted his chest and learned the man's posture, and began to demonstrate to Sha Yi in public.
Seeing Sha Yi and Wa Ling chatting with themselves, the emperor was very angry and asked loudly: "Dingbei Hou, didn't you say that you have a good plan to control the water?" Let's talk to me first, and see if it's feasible. ”
Seeing that the emperor suddenly asked himself, Sha Yi was so frightened that he immediately stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, after my investigation, there have been many floods in the south of the Yangtze River, most of which are caused by poor drainage. Now the first thing we need to do is to organize the people to build a large canal to drain the water, so that the flood water can be discharged directly into the sea and will not wash away the people's homes. ”
"The idea of building a canal seems to be a good idea, but if the flood does break out, let it all flow into the sea, and it won't be able to wash away the people, which is really good." The emperor looked at Sha Yi and said very approvingly, feeling that he hadn't used the wrong person yet.
Sha Yi was very happy to see that the emperor agreed with his good water control strategy, and suggested to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, if you want to build the embankment now, I'm afraid it's too late, it will take a long time." What we need most now now is to evacuate our Jiangnan generation of people and let them live in a slightly higher place. ”
"Dingbei Hou, I said you don't need a brain to speak? You have to know where so many Jiangnan people can evacuate at once, this is their home, let them leave as soon as they say, can they agree! The emperor looked at the Marquis of Dingbei and said angrily, thinking that this idea was not very good, you must know that Ye Luo is returning to his roots, who is willing to leave his hometown.
