Chapter 288: Disaster is not a one-way street
At this moment of crisis, the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper would never want to go, but they had no choice but to follow in the footsteps of Xiao Gao Xianggong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They know that once they have a different opinion at this time, they will really lose their heads, not that the scholar really can't be killed, no matter how you look at it, Gao Fangping doesn't want a soft-handed existence.
When the old man stepped on the embankment, he saw that most people were working in the sloping rain and water, but a woman was crying in her arms and her dead fourteen-year-old son. On the other side, there was an eighteen-year-old boy crying while holding his crippled father, who had died of illness on the embankment.
Gao Fangping frowned when he saw it, and after hesitating for a while, he stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Whip!" ”
Liang Hongying didn't want to give it, but she didn't dare to question his military order at such a time, so she had to carefully hand the leather whip to Gao Fangping with tears in her eyes.
Gao Fangping's cool trick was exerted, waving his arms, and a few whips whipped the teenagers and women who were crying with the corpses of their relatives to cry and cry their mothers.
When Yang Zhi saw the seed master Dao doing this in the northwest, he evaluated the old breed as a hooligan scumbag, but this time, Yang Zhi did not evaluate Gao Fangping like this, sighed, and put the two people who were pumped into his command, instructed them to talk less and do more, and comforted them in a low voice.
After that, those who were going to cry about their relatives and friends all bowed their heads and did things.
Gao Fangping stood on a high place, holding an earthen megaphone, and shouted with all his might. I didn't have much ink in my head, so I used it to confuse everyone after I revised and revised Wen Tao's farewell book in Chenliu County.
"Believe me, once the levee line is lost, you will be left with nothing, and your children will be buried together if they stay in the city! No one can be exempt from this disaster. In fact, I have fewer interests in Yuncheng than any of you, and I can't hold the embankment, so I will throw my hands and go back to Beijing to sit on thousands of family fortunes to be a gentleman, but what about you! This is by no means a battle for me alone, confidence and fighting spirit must not be lost, and it is bound to be united, under the leadership of the respected master Wang Qinfei, vowing to live and die with the embankment! ”
"All of us are united, vow to live and die with the embankment!" Whenever the neighborhood hears it, everyone drinks it together.
Wang Qinfei's calves trembled, his eyes were black, and he felt that the Great Demon King could not be saved, and he actually pushed Lao Tzu to the cusp of the storm?
The county lieutenant secretly screamed a great luck, held the handle of the knife and looked at Wang Qinfei and said with a cruel smile: "Lao Wang, your old lady has been brought by you to accompany you, and your interests in Yuncheng are also your greatest, should you question Xianggong's military order at this time?" ”
Wang Qinfei cried as if he was dead.
After that, Gao Fangping came down from the high platform, handed the earthen loudspeaker to Wang Qinfei and said: "You stay on the embankment, read the line just now, and keep reading it, so that all the people who move can hear it." The responsibility of saving Yuncheng is entrusted to you, come on, this official is optimistic about you. ”
After that, Gao Fangping slipped away again, and the county lieutenant looked loyal, guarding Gao Fangping in a safe place with a knife.
When Wang Qinfei stood on the high platform with the megaphone, he no longer had any other thoughts, thinking: This old life is finally in the hands of the Great Demon King, hey.
After sighing secretly, Wang Qinfei, who had gray hair and beard, had some awareness of the mentality of breaking and standing up, and began to cry affectionately in the wind and rain, shouting to the people and sergeants over and over again.
The old lady of his family was not very clear in his mind, but he was also carried up by Wang Qinfei's side, and he kept scolding, and he didn't know who the old man was scolding.
In this way, the eighty-one-year-old father and sixty-seven-year-old son Wang Qinfei, with white hair and gray swearing, the effect is still quite touching, and the shock is definitely more than Gao Fangping's oily and smooth appearance.
The fighting spirit of the 30,000 participating people has gradually reached its peak.
From the heights, there is always heavy rain between heaven and earth, and although human beings are extremely small, they are like ants moving, and people and horses all over the mountains move in the wind and rain, carrying mud and rocks, clearing rivers, and reinforcing embankments......
The hour has not yet come, and there are not many officials waiting to meet the court.
Uncle Zhang's carriage came slowly, and before he got out of the car, he heard a voice say: "Zhang Xiang is so early, and the rain is so abundant and abundant this year, which is your happy event." As early as a few months ago, when the spring rain was delayed, and when the first rain fell, you specially asked Your Majesty to thank God, hehe. ”
Opened the curtain and looked at it, it was Shangshu Zuo Cheng He Zhi, who came early, waiting in the rain, carrying a harmonious smile.
"So early, my eyes are red and I don't seem to have slept all night, I don't know what important state affairs I am discussing with your family Cai Xianggong?" Uncle Zhang heard that there was irony in the old guy's tone just now, so he didn't give him a good look.
He Zhizhong is Shangshu Zuocheng, Cai Jing's assistant, and he is a person with Cai Jing who breathes out of his nostrils. It is one of Uncle Zhang's big opponents in the current court situation.
"How about Zhang Zhongshu, your first right-hand man, the good seedling pork Ping in your mouth, is he still in power, the rain is so abundant in your prayers, and the household is your territory, is it ready to welcome a bumper harvest in your high square Ping Yuncheng this year?" He Zhizhong said with a smile on his face.
Uncle Zhang didn't want to talk about these meaningless calves with this old stick here, so he snorted coldly: "Thank you Lord Zuo Cheng for your concern, something is indeed in people, and the critical moment of success or not is in God." ”
He Zhizhong said with a smile: "A few days ago, there was news in Yuncheng that Gao Fangping was a self-proclaimed pork immortal, known as his boundless mana. Not to mention leading public opinion, this has always been his strength, this is good, he even seems to be able to replace the will of God, we are waiting to see the pork flat to hand over a satisfactory answer. Cai Xianggong is also very concerned, I don't know what answer he Gao Fangping can come up with in such a bumper harvest year with such sufficient rainfall. ”
Uncle Zhang squinted his eyes and stared at his old face, a little wanting to slap this old man to death here.
It's a pity that he is Zhang Shuye instead of Pork Ping, his anger is not heavy enough, his behavior is not naïve enough, his personality is not impulsive enough, and the pit in his head is not big enough, so he didn't make a move in the end.
"Huh, pinch again?"
"What's the situation? How did Uncle Zhang offend He Zuocheng? ”
"Someone grabbed the pigtails. Zhang Shuye should not have placed such high hopes on Gao Fangping at that time, he specifically regarded Gao Fangping's finances and various policies as a benchmark, and issued a document in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs to spur the ruling officials across the country. You don't have to look at it, how did he Zhang Shuye squeeze the rest of the officials at that time, lifting Gao Fangping so well and bringing up such a big rhythm, it would really be very heavy to fall. Therefore, it is better to leave some leeway in life and work. ”
"That is, lifting Gao Fangping, Wang Huang, who is very strong in the limelight, is a stinky move. What's even more exaggerated is that Zhang Shuye also followed the example of Wang Anshi back then, disgusted that the rainfall was not abundant enough, and actually instigated His Majesty to personally sacrifice to the sky and ask for rain a few months ago. Hmph, now seek benevolence and get benevolence, and today's rain that is too much is the death hole of Gao Fangping and Zhang Shuye. ”
More and more officials who began to gather, while watching Zhang Shuye and He Zhizhong fight, also started discussions in small groups about the rain alone.
No one who can really mix in the DPRK is a fool, this rain is not small for the whole country, it is auspicious for some arid areas, it is more than it is a disaster for some conventional areas, and it also has a certain positive significance for the river in the case of not a disaster. So Lao Zhang asked for an auspicious one at that time, and it was nothing to ask Zhao Ji, who liked this set very much, to preside over the principle of praying for rain. But everyone understands people, and many people know how the 800-mile water pool is formed, so this kind of rain is the first challenge to Jeju, especially to Yunseong, which is under the rule of Gao Fangping.
And Gao Fangping is the person who Zhang Shuye is trying his best to promote, and even overriding public opinion as the prime minister's seedlings.
Yes, it is human nature to cultivate the next generation, and there will always be some young people with strange bones, who are observed and cultivated by the old guys as "good seedlings of the future".
At present, there is already the name of the Qingliu Party, but the cohesion is not as strong as the Cai Party. Opinions within the circle are also very different.
The biggest problem of the Qingliu Party is that there are a lot of corrupt Confucianism. Therefore, Uncle Zhang's forcible lifting of pork flat at night really has some meaning of overriding public opinion. After all, Gao Fangping is rumored to have "a pit in his brain, a naïve personality, impulsive behavior", etc., which is not at all in line with the values of a large group of corrupt Confucians. Li Gang has not yet emerged, so in fact, Uncle Zhang, the most optimistic person is Zhao Ding instead of Gao Fangping.
So under the support of Uncle Zhang's strong opinion, now everyone is looking at Gao Fangping's Yuncheng. The fact is that although the rain did not fall at Uncle Zhang's night, it was between Gao Fangping, who was under the greatest pressure in Yuncheng and was in the limelight among the new generation, and there was already a big risk that his political reputation would be affected this time.
In the words of those flowing immortals and devils, this rain is a political catastrophe for Gao Fangping.
At some point, Uncle Zhang, as well as Shiyan, who was coughing with a cane, were already arguing with them.
At this time, Cai Jing's carriage also arrived, and when Cai Jing got off the car, many officials of the soy sauce party and the Cai party surrounded him, behaving very naïvely, just like the children who participated in the scolding fight always wanted to get the approval of their elders afterwards, and asked one after another: "Taishi is highly respected, how do you evaluate the rain now, and Uncle Zhang's prayer for rain at that time?" And what do you think of the situation that Gao Fangping is facing? ”
"If there is no good evaluation for the time being, everything is subject to the final facts. Don't speculate and interpret excessively, one thing is for sure, Gao Fangping, like all the local parents who do his best, on the whole, I believe he also wants to do things well. As for the result, it depends on God's will. ”
Cai Jing said some uneventful nonsense. He is an old and cunning person, not that he doesn't want to use the form to give Gao Fangping and Zhang Shuye a critical attack in public opinion. It's that Cai Jing has learned to be obedient, and everything related to pork ping may have a magical turn, so it is indeed not suitable to say too much now.
has been up and down in officialdom for decades, and has seen too many things. Of course, Cai Jing is concerned about the current situation, but he knows better than them whether he can end Gao Fangping's undefeated myth in public opinion and politics, not what these guys say, but ultimately depends on what kind of result this rain will bring to Yuncheng. Between the two factions, it is useless to talk about anything. If something happens in the end, even if it is not the rain that falls from his high squares, he can make a fuss and call him a sinner. And if people really resist the situation, no matter what you say, you can only stare at it and can't do anything. (To be continued.) )
