In the Zichen Palace, Li Mian, the prime minister who was originally the envoy of the Yongping Army Festival and is now the servant of the door, heard about the emperor's idea, because he had been in the Central Plains before, and knew that the stakes of this move were not trivial, so he hurriedly picked up the wat board and said that he also asked the Holy Lord to think twice before acting, at least after reaching a consensus with Han Rong, the envoy of the Zhenhai Navy, it would not be too late to discuss.

The emperor asked another prime minister, Zhang Yansheng, who was originally in the same breath as the emperor, so he agreed with Du You's plan, saying that 30,000 soldiers could be sent to Zhuzhen, and 50,000 poor households in Zhuzhou could be hired for a period of eight months to one year to dredge the gap and achieve a great cause.

"Your Majesty, Cai Shui's former ministers have already sent the soldiers of Yongping and Xuanwu armies to dredge, so there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being, in case the current situation really needs to set up a Huaiying transfer envoy in the future, it will not be too late to discuss it." Li Mian could only "just get off the donkey", hoping to temporarily stabilize the commotion of the emperor.

But Li Shi said that just Cai Shui dredging where is enough, it is necessary to immediately dredge Yingkou and Jiming Gang, "once the Jiming Gang is chiseled, the waterway is passed, simply in Dongguan (now Anhui Chao County, Hanshan, that is, the famous Misu Pass during the Three Kingdoms period) set up a transfer hospital and patrol hospital, after which Jianghan, Jingnan, Hunan, Lingnan, and even the southeast of the rice grain, can all gather in Dongguan, and then send to Chang'an from the chasm, wonderful!" ”

Then Li Shi got up from the seat of the rope bed excitedly, and he had to personally write a copy of the imperial document and hand it over to the Hanlin Academy to draft a document: I would appoint Cui Zao as the new Huaiying transfer envoy, and he would personally operate the dredging and set up the inspection institute.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this matter involves Huaixi, Ziqing, Xuanwu, Zhenhai, Yongping and many other towns, you must not be cautious, Your Majesty...... You might as well wait for the return of Ambassador Xiao Zhonglang. The emperor kept giving instructions back and forth, and poor Li Mian also followed the emperor's steps and kept persuading.

At this moment, outside the south wall of Daming Palace, Liu Yan, who was unofficial and light, left behind the noisy quarrels in the palace hall, led a steady mare, and took the servant Wanda, who was on the bustling street, heading in the direction of Dongshi and Xingqing Palace.

"It smells so good." Liu Yan's beard on his chin curled twice, and soon he smelled the smell wafting from the walls of Chongrenfang, and couldn't help but sigh and said, An Laohu'er is now in Cui Ning's shogunate, I really didn't expect that there would be such a fragrant food in the Jingshi.

Wanda said, that is the master, you before, only eat An Laohu'er's steamed beard (Chang'an, you don't know that there are too many delicacies that you haven't tried).

Liu Yan laughed, took out a string of money from his bosom with his hand, and was about to ask Wanda to buy it for himself, but after thinking about it, "Yes, Wanda, I don't have an actual official position now, I can go in and eat happily, and I don't have to worry about the palace's inspection." ”

So Liu Yan called Wanda, let's go into the workshop together.

"Yan Xiang." A familiar voice came.

Liu Yan turned his head and saw that Liu Changqing, who had just finished the court, happened to meet him, and was standing respectfully on the side of the street, saluting himself.

"Scholar, don't you have to be straight today?"

"What's the matter if you are straight or not, the Southern Provincial Ministry of Rites has always been known as the 'Ice Hall', and I don't even bother to come to the imperial history of the sub-detention inspector."

It turned out that among the six yamen of the Southern Province, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites were the most deserted (after all, it was not a department with real power), and it was nicknamed "Ice Hall" - Liu Changqing, who was in the ancestral hall here, couldn't bear the loneliness, and took advantage of the opportunity to do nothing to go to Chongrenfang and Pingkangfang, the most prosperous places in Chang'an City.

Liu Yan laughed, then pointed at Liu Changqing and said, "Since the study room is also here, you might as well go into the workshop with me to drink and eat, "The wine money is bothered to pay for the study." ”

"Yan Xiang, this is natural, I, Liu Changqing, have always been outside as a patrol, Sima, and assassin, and now the money is enough to be chic in Chang'an City, let's take a walk."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion - I saw a group of people coming out of the opposite square, waving flags, and marching towards Daming Palace with great momentum.

"The navy of Xuanrun Town came out of Fengyuan." Liu Changqing muttered.

Liu Yan immediately understood what was happening, so he said that he didn't care about it, and then stroked Changqing's back and said, "Scholar's room, although the Ministry of Rites is an ice hall, there are 50,000 yuan a month, you can stay there honestly for two or three years, don't get involved in the court disputes-I expect you to pay for the wine a few more times!" ”

Then the two talked and laughed, Wanda kept scratching her back with a straw stick, and quickly disappeared into the crowd of Chongrenfang in Chang'an......

Three days later, shrouded in the morning light in the Daming Palace, Du You hatefully paced out of the east and west halls of Hanyuan Palace, with his back to the majestic three halls, he had just received the emperor's edict, and was dismissed from the official position of the household servant who had just gotten, and went out to Raozhou, Jiangnan West Province for the history of assassination, and set off immediately.

Previously, Han Rong was moved by the Jinfeng Yuan in the Beijing Division, and contacted Ziqing Pinglu, the Central Plains Xuanwu, Yongping and Fang Town's Jinfeng Yuan, and wantonly attacked Du You, and said that if Du You is not punished, in the summer and autumn of this year, the Jinfeng ship at the Jingkou will not be issued, and the rice and salt in the patrol courtyard will not be issued.

Li Shi immediately panicked, and sent Du You to assassinate Raozhou to apologize, and only then calmed down the situation.

"But—evil, am I ruling the country, or am I in a foreign country!" In the Zichen Palace, Li Shi slammed the case, and the hatred for Han Rong in his heart kept surging.

This round naturally ended in the emperor's complete defeat and compromise, and soon Li Shi's lieutenants came out of the Daming Palace, and began to "declare" to the towns and states, and cheekily enriched their private treasury.

Li Shi slowly changed into the appearance he hated the most.

Of course, Li Shi also thought of Xingyuan Mansion, he asked Huo Zhongtang to ride a horse to ask for some food, and on the other hand, he also remembered the many good things in the third year of high school, so he said that I had adopted Li Yu's suggestion, and would add the school's children and merchants to the mountain shed in the Huke and Anxi Courts in Beijing into the "Imperial Palace's Left and Right Shenwei Army", and of the 500,000 concierge fees saved, I specially allocated 30,000 yuan to Xingyuan Mansion as "money for repairing weapons".

In the city of Xingyuan Mansion, in the Hanchuan River under the Tianhan Tower, many ships turned their sails, with the exclamation of not to hit and not to hit, coiled around in the waters, brushed aside, and then carried the tea and salt of the Sanchuan area, the cattle and sheep in the northwest, and the local herbs, timber, and brassica oil, and drove towards Jianghan and Eyue in an endless stream, and the brocade of Shudi, the beautiful jade of Jingxiang, and the silk carpet of Xuanzhou farther away also appeared in the market of Xingyuan Mansion.

It was already a very bustling bazaar, and Ah Cuo ran through the long thoroughfare, entered the alleyway of the Zicheng Mansion, and then ran into the backyard official house.

"Little aunt, little aunt!" As soon as Ah Cuo stepped into the aconitum gate of the official residence and put the bamboo basket on the ground, he shouted, waved the envelope in his hand, and startled a group of magpies and chirped.
