In the first year of Yanhe, in October Jiazi, it was noon, and the warm winter sun warmed the whole city.

In the streets and alleys, there is a happy and peaceful atmosphere of the New Year.

On this day, even the poorest people in Chang'an City will spend a year's savings to buy many new things for their families.

Most of the children, on this day, get the new clothes and toys they have always dreamed of.

You can even eat a variety of snacks and snacks that you couldn't eat before.

Adults, on the other hand, are busy inside and outside the home, preparing to sacrifice to their ancestors.

However, in the vicinity of Weiyang Palace, there is a noble area and a wealthy business area with Shangguanli Avenue and Song Street as the core.

Every household is holding their breath and paying attention to the movements of Weiyang Palace.

Countless messengers galloped along the road, sending the latest news from Weiyang Palace back to the ears of their respective masters.

"It's a big deal!" When the news came back from the Weiyang Palace that the court had decided to build a large construction project in Qingxuyang, countless people immediately fell into madness.

The country has already decided to carry out several super projects!

Yangzhou has the Yuechi project, Xuzhou has the chasm 2.0, super plan, as for Qingzhou, the Yellow River governance and canal excavation at the same time!

Businessmen, heroes, officials, and magnates are so excited that they can't help themselves!

Everyone immediately began to count their property, especially the number of slaves and maids.

Everyone feels that a super gold mine has appeared in front of them!

Even if you only use legal means, everyone will make a lot of money.

The family's property will snowball in a short period of time, doubling in one year, and ten times in two years is not a dream!

However, soon, another piece of news appeared, which made everyone feel angry!

"What does Zhang Chiyou want to do?"

"Bastard!"

"Damn it!"

"Disgusting!"

Countless invectives and rage immediately spread among the mansions of countless nobles, officials, and merchants.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents!

The tunnel camp plan is like a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, which has disappointed many people's dreams.

Thousands of five-baht coins, countless yellow-orange-orange cuties, suddenly disappeared.

Who can stand it?

For these people, Zhang Yue's behavior is even more hateful than the Huns and even the original Luntai Kingdom and Dawan Kingdom!

However, they are not yet able to fight, or even have the ability to retaliate!

Revenge on Zhang Chiyou?

Is it long?

Just looking at the bones at the feet of this magnate, everyone shuddered.

Prime ministers, servants, emperors, relatives, princes, lords......

He's already beaten and chopped it all over.

Even the princes and kings have done one!

In this Chang'an City, Zhang Chiyou's name is already comparable to the demon king in the circle of the second generation of nobles, which is enough to stop children crying at night!

Anyway, there is no one who can raise the courage to fight against this powerful man now.

I don't even have the courage to talk about it publicly!

As for confrontation?

That's even harder than revenge on Zhang Chiyou!

At the very least, it's not impossible to solve this damn guy if you really have to find a way.

The magnates have countless plots and tricks.

If you can't do it, you can use a dark arrow!

In this Chang'an City, there are one or two unknown big people who have died.

Far from it, when the reign of the Son of Heaven was over, the cause of death was unknown, and it was enough to form a reinforced company!

Wu'an Hou Tianwei once leaned towards the government and the opposition, but eventually died of madness.

The champion mourned Huo Yin, who was left behind by his father, and before he reached adulthood, he had already been recognized by the entire Han Army Frontier General.

Countless people are looking forward to him being crowned as an adult, and then replicating his father's legendary path.

However, this dream came to an abrupt end at the foot of Mount Tai.

And at the beginning, Xiongnu Shan Yu's younger brother, in Chang'an, was under strict protection and heavy protection, but he didn't even survive half a year and died.

In terms of playing conspiracy and engaging in small actions, who can compare to these powerful people who have been in business for countless years and have countless connections?

However, the conclusion after the public discussion of the Great Dynasty is impossible to overturn and confront it.

Because, this means that this matter has been unanimously approved by all officials and nobles in the world.

It is the conclusion of the public opinion of the world!

To fight it is to be the enemy of the world.

The iron fist of the dictatorship of the Han Empire is very terrifying in terms of deterrent power now!

Therefore, these people can only scold and scold a few words after all.

Then endure the pain in my heart and bones, and think about how I should profit from it.

This is also human nature.

Soon, some smart people found out, like, in fact, probably, there is still room for profit in this matter!

Construction is taking place in the southeast, although there seems to be no shortage of labor.

But......

What about supplies?

Even if it is to build a channel a few miles long, it is still pickaxe and drill.

With such a huge water conservancy construction project in the southeast, can it still be separated from the supply of all kinds of engineering items?

Moreover, so many projects mean that a large number of officials and manpower are needed.

It's all your own chance!

Thinking about it like this, everyone immediately took action.

If you have a relationship, you can find a relationship, and if you don't have a relationship, you can pay for it.

Before the Great Dynasty Conference ended, the courtiers, especially the important ministers at the Jiuqing level, had already lined up in a long queue at the door of their homes.

Gold, treasures, and jewels are stuffed into large and small gift boxes like money.

The beauties, the swords, and the land all came out at once.

Anyway, there is only one demand - please make sure that you have this insignificant gift.

No one will worry about whether the person receiving the gift will pat his ass and refuse to admit it.

Take money to do things, eliminate disasters for others, this rule for a hundred years, Tong Su is not bullied.

As long as you collect the money, you will definitely do things!

Some people who are very thrifty will even refund if things don't work out, which is a conscience!

………………………………

At the same time, in the Xuanshu Palace, the court meeting came to an end for the time being, and it entered the intermission.

One by one, the maids carried tea, melons and fruits and other snacks into the temple and served them to the ministers.

After all, many people have not eaten water since last night until now.

The young people are okay, but the old ministers and elders will definitely not be able to hold it.

Especially today, since accepting Zhang Yue's suggestion, he has been particularly particular.

Three meals a day, it must be timed.

Even the diet has special arrangements.

Just like these snacks in front of him right now.

The main dish is steamed steamed buns wrapped in squatting flour and garnished with meat sauce, and a small plate of caviar, dark gray caviar, resembling pearls, is placed next to it.

The soup is a cup of bird's nest soup, the soup is crystal clear, exuding an infinite aroma, and a few jujubes float in it.

After tasting a little bit of bird's nest soup, the Son of Heaven looked at the palace, Liu Ju and his son, who were eating with their heads down, their brows slightly locked, a little hesitant, and they could not finally make up their minds.

At this time, two hours had passed since Zhang Yue proposed the establishment of a cross-state and county-wide government office that would unify command and be responsible for the construction of the tunnel camp, the renovation of the river, and the task of flood control.

This matter has been unanimously approved by the ministers,

Even the name of the official office has several candidates.

But who to choose to lead and control this official office has given him an incomparably headache and entanglement.

Theoretically, he should choose the crown prince Liu Ju.

After all, Liu Ju is a prince and has been in charge of the country many times, and has a solid political foundation and official system.

Moreover, the fact that the prince is also the governor of the river, river defense, water conservancy, and canal can indeed tell the people of the world that the court attaches great importance to this matter.

But there are doubts.

This son, if he messes up this matter again, how will it end?

How to calm down the impact caused by it?

This is not Li Yu's case, everyone dealt with it quietly, and even Li Yu's crime was only corruption and bribery, not betrayal of the king.

As much as possible, he helped Liu Ju clean up his hands.

Although among the courtiers in Chang'an, they basically knew what was going on.

However, the common people and officials in the world are basically at a loss.

And this matter of river control and water conservancy involves a huge amount.

The planned tunnel camp alone could have millions of people!

The projects involved cover Qingxuyang, and even extend to the Sanhe region, and may develop into a super government office throughout the entire Yangtze River and Yellow River basin in the future.

Such a thing, in case this prince pokes out the basket again and makes a wrong judgment.

This affects the whole world!

What's even more troublesome is that it is likely that it will no longer be able to hide it from the rest of the world.

If the prince makes a mistake, it must be widely known, and it is terrible!

Because he will probably become a king who is no longer perfect!

When a king is imperfect, it means that the halo on his body has faded, and he can no longer be right and glorious forever!

Although, Liu Ju is only the crown prince, not the son of heaven.

But in the end, it will hurt the legitimacy of Liu's rule and the sanctity of the regime.

Emperor Taizong worked hard all his life, and the image of the Son of Heaven that he had finally established in front of the people of the world may have a crack.

As a grandchild, the Son of Heaven didn't want Emperor Taizong's efforts to be buried in his own hands.

But if you don't choose the prince, only the eldest grandson Liu Jin can choose.

Of course, theoretically, he could also choose from Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, Liu Dan, the king of Yan, and Liu Xu, the king of Guangling.

can even let the little prince Liu Fuling go to his name, and in fact, entrust this matter to a number of important ministers to jointly supervise.

But this is only theoretically feasible after all, and in reality, he really wants to do it.

It is guaranteed that the next day, the entire Beique City downstairs will be crowded with scholars and nobles who advise.

Moreover, this kind of thing is not a joke.

Only names and instruments cannot be dummies.

Let other sons take on such important responsibilities.

It is equivalent to announcing the world - I want to abolish the prince! This will immediately divide the country!

Therefore, he could only choose between Liu Ju and Liu Jin.

Compared with his father, Liu Jin certainly has a lot of advantages.

First of all, this eldest grandson is young, young means extremely plastic, if Liu Jin is put in charge of this matter, after the beating of this river control project and other canal projects, it will not take five years to be trained!

In this process, you can learn how to deal with the conflicts between the county, the locality, and the princes, and know how to coordinate the interests of all parties.

It's something you can't learn from a book.

Don't worry, repeat the mistakes of Lu Aigong.

Secondly, Liu Jin has not been involved in too many interest groups, and he is quite clean, which means that he can handle all kinds of things better and more appropriately.

With Zhang Zizhong by his side, with the skill and decisiveness that this courtier has shown recently, there is no need to worry that this eldest grandson will be stumped by the local officials when he arrives at the place.

However, this shortcoming and disadvantage are also prominent.

The main thing is that he is young, his roots are too shallow, and there is no one around.

Except for one Zhang Zizhong, which seems to be not bad, there are no other courtiers with enough weight.

If you rashly let it take on such a heavy responsibility, not to mention whether you can grasp the proportion and control the strength.

I'm afraid, it's hard to even put up a shelf!

Therefore, the Son of Heaven was entangled in his heart and weighed uncertainly.

Picking up the spoon and taking another sip of bird's nest soup, the Son of Heaven sighed slightly, and then asked in a low voice to Zhang Anshi, who had been standing beside him: "Shang Shuling, Qing thinks, who can take on the big responsibility between the prince and the eldest grandson?" ”

When Zhang Anshi heard this, he was startled, and immediately replied softly: "The minister is stupid, and An knows about this?" ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he shook his head in disappointment and sighed in a low voice: "That's right, Qing Fei Ji Changru ......."

If you are here, you will definitely give yourself an answer!

The stubborn old fellow, though he had a strong temper, dared to tell the truth, dared to tell the truth, especially those things that he did not like or thought were taboo in the eyes of others.

It's a pity that he has been dead for twenty years!

Since his death, there has never been a close minister who dares to risk his anger and tell the truth.

Even, in order to argue, he can follow him, the emperor, to the toilet, squatting at the door, chattering.

When Ji Changru was alive, the Son of Heaven felt noisy, so he sent this guy to Huaiyang.

However, as soon as Ji Changyu died, he inevitably missed it often.

Zhang Anshi listened, didn't dare to answer, just bent over. But there was a slight complaint in his heart: "This is full of people, who can compare their qualifications with Ji Di?" ”

If he had the qualifications, he would probably have the guts!

It's a pity not!

The Son of Heaven put down the spoon and beckoned to Zhang Yue, who was feasting on the seat under the imperial steps, and said, "Come and ...... Qing is near."

When Zhang Yue saw it, he hurriedly put down the tableware, carefully lifted the ribbon, followed suit, walked up the imperial steps, came to the throne of the Son of Heaven, and bowed: "What does Your Majesty command......

The Son of Heaven beckoned to him and said, "Come close to Qing again......"

Zhang Yue looked left and right, lifted the ribbon, took a few steps forward, and came to the Son of Heaven.

"I ask Qing......" The Son of Heaven whispered: "According to Qing's opinion, the crown prince and the eldest grandson, who is more suitable to preside over the river project?" ”

When Zhang Yue heard this, he was so frightened that he stood upside down!

This is a proposition!

But he didn't dare not answer, but fortunately, he was still a little witty, and immediately remembered the answers of several smart people in later generations, and immediately bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Majesty should not ask the minister about this question, Your Majesty should go and ask His Royal Highness the family and the eldest grandson, and see the wishes of the family and the eldest grandson!" ”

"If you are interested in this, Your Majesty will naturally make a holy judgment!"

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven's eyes lit up, and waved his hand: "I know ......"

Yes, I should ask the crown prince and the eldest grandson to see the attitude of the two of them.

If someone doesn't want to go, won't that solve the problem?
