Chapter 295: The Emperor Wants to Ask for Guilt
In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, from Huaibei to both sides of the Yellow River, farmers everywhere are day and night, grabbing crops, threshing and putting them into storage, which is a prosperous scene.
The small granaries of the people were piled up, and the great warehouses of the imperial court were also piled up.
People say that God favored Emperor Guo, so he sent auspicious rui and harvested bumper harvests year after year. Boss Guo is sober-minded, where is the auspiciousness! It's not hard work!
In recent years, the imperial court has invested heavily in the construction of water conservancy projects and the excavation of diversion ditches. In addition, Ye Hua made cement, which greatly accelerated the progress of the project and lowered the cost.
The same piece of land, with sufficient water sources, can increase the harvest by at least 30%, and at most, it can even exceed 70%.
Because of the land granting order, everyone worked hard, and their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high. The common people are getting by, and it is easy for the court to collect taxes, all in all, everything is running at high speed and efficiently.
Guo Wei led an army of 100,000 to the north, how much manpower and material resources would be consumed.
A few years ago, Da Zhou would never have the strength to fight a battle of this scale, but now it is at ease.
Guo Wei stood on the dragon boat, his body was still strong, but the white hair on his sideburns could no longer be hidden, and his once straight back began to bend.
But the tiger is still majestic when he gets old, not to mention an old dragon!
Guo Wei stared at the Yongji Canal, the river flowed, just like Guo Wei's mood at this time, "When I was a child, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the world was chaotic, and the heroes rose together. In the twilight of my life, I ascended the throne of God, holding hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, and I am bound to level the world and dominate the world! Master Wei, as long as I can defeat the Khitan, no one will be able to stop me from dominating the country! Ye Hua's kid has done a good job, he has made a good start, I can't even be as good as a child! ”
Guo Wei grabbed his beard, his ruddy face was full of a pleased smile, and when Ye Hua was mentioned, Guo Wei's tone could not hide his joy.
Well done little guy!
At first, the monarch and ministers made a decision, and they only thought about recovering Yanyun, and it would be good to get the land back.
But what about Ye Hua?
As long as this battle is won, the Khitan's national strength is bound to be hit hard, and at least within one or two decades, it will not be able to interfere with the process of reunification of the Central Plains.
I'm finally able to show my strength!
Wei Renpu went out with the Son of Heaven, and it is difficult to say how close he is between him and Ye Hua, but he is not an enemy, after all, at this level, everyone has their own ideas, and they will not really be willing to be a little brother.
But even with the most critical eyes, Ye Hua did a very good job.
Steady and steady, step by step.
Always left a little thought for the Khitans, thinking that they could defeat the Great Zhou and keep the Khitans. At the same time, the implementation of Juntian shook the entire Yanyun, and those Hanchen landlords desperately prayed to the master that they must fight to the death with the Great Zhou.
Speaking of which, these people can be regarded as helpers, and when they break the Khitan in the future and catch them, they don't know what to do with it!
"Your Majesty, although the champion Hou is clever, but he is too bold, and when he wins Youzhou, he still has to appease those gentry, so as not to have endless troubles!"
Guo Wei sank his face, this is not right!
"Wei Xianggong, the champion Hou ordered in my name to implement Juntian in Yanyun, how can I take it back casually! What's more, the Juntian Order won the hearts of the people for me, and 100,000 people were willing to be driven by the imperial court. You say there is a fallout, what is the trouble? Could it be that serving the imperial court is also a trouble? ”
Guo Wei's tone became more and more serious, "Isn't it that Wei Xianggong thinks that the champion Hou has disposed of the gentry and wealthy families, and your faces are dull, and the rabbit is sad and the fox dies?" ”
Wei Renpu was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed down, "Your Majesty, the old minister was born in a poor family, and he has to meet His Majesty in order to have today's status, how can the old minister speak for the gentry and forget about the court's plan!" ”
Wei Renpu is considered to be quick-witted, but Guo Wei is not easy to fool, he did not let Wei Renpu go easily, "Why did Wei Xianggong say that there are endless troubles?" Could it be that you have no evidence to frame the champion Hou? ”
"Don't dare, the old minister doesn't dare!"
Wei Renpu couldn't wait to pump his mouth, Ye Hua, this kid is now a vajra protector, Bailing cares, he can't say it, he can't scold, it is really difficult to give him some eye medicine!
"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for his courage, although the champion Hou is loyal, but he has made great contributions to the court in Yanyun, has great virtue and the people, and has a very high prestige in the army, the old minister, the old minister is really worried about ......"
It's another damn meritorious master!
Although the method is old-fashioned, there are people in all dynasties, and almost all of them are tried and tested, and the effect is good, and it is more effective than gold balm!
Guo Wei's face was gloomy, and suddenly, he waved his hand vigorously, "Wei Xianggong, I look down on Ye Hua's nephew, his loyalty, I will never doubt it!" ”
Wei Renpu felt bitter in his heart, His Majesty loved Ye Hua so much, how could the civil officials deal with themselves?
He decided to take a gamble!
Suddenly, Wei Renpu lifted his robe and knelt in front of Guo Wei.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for his courage, when Your Majesty was a courtier of the Han Dynasty in the past, wasn't he also loyal?"
This is very heart-wrenching!
Lao Wei felt as if his back was pierced by two daggers, his cold sweat flowed down his sideburns, and his hands barely supported his body, but he still couldn't help lying on the ground, like a big toad.
Guo Wei's face turned from ruddy to iron-blue, and finally to a terrifying white.
After a while, Guo Wei said slowly: "Wei Qing is my henchman, and what he said is also for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I will not condemn my guilt with my words." But I command you never to say anything like that again! I treat the champion Hou with sincerity, and the champion Hou serves the country with courage! Whoever dares to part with the friendship of kings and ministers, I will never let it go! ”
Guo Wei's good mood was all ruined, and he turned around and snorted back to the cabin.
Wei Renpu knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
He is Guo Wei's mastermind, and he originally encouraged Guo Boss to enter Beijing, so he has today's status, and he is different from other courtiers. But today's Guo Wei's words are tantamount to warning him, don't want to be pampered and arrogant, I will be severely punished!
What a Ye Hua, the Holy Favor is really Long!
Wei Renpu hung his head and went back to his residence step by step, he calmed down a little, and Guo Wei finally called Ye Hua "Champion Hou".
The knowledge in this is not small, could it be that His Majesty had expected it today, so he used the champion Hou to give Ye Hua a set?
Your heart is as deep as the sea!
Old Wei Ku sat for a night, he finally figured it out, don't be deceived by the hat of the so-called wise man and able minister, there is no stupid person in this year!
Wei Renpu decided to rein in his edge, be honest, and don't make trouble for himself, after all, Guo Wei will not protect himself unconditionally.
But it backfired, and the more you tried to hide, the more you couldn't dodge.
Wang Yin handed over a notebook, impeaching the army, someone stealing military rations. This is a major military matter, and Wei Renpu does not dare to slack off. But what made his heart beat was that Wang Yin said in the last paragraph that he had repeatedly told Ye Huachen that he asked Hou Ye to severely punish the moths in the army, but the result was that he was lost in the sea and there was no response.
In desperation, Wang Yin sent the excerpt to the front of the palace and asked His Majesty to decide.
implicated Ye Hua...... It's not a trivial matter, press down? Wang Yin, that old thing, is not easy to fool, he will not give up. Don't press it down? Will His Majesty think that he is taking revenge on Ye Hua?
Damn!
Wei Renpu sighed, with his intelligence, he had no idea!
Ye Hua, haven't you always paid attention to the rules and not favoritism? Stealing military rations will cause soldiers to mutiny, but it's not a trivial matter!
Who gave you the guts to dare to press down!
It just doesn't make sense!
That's it, even if it is blamed by His Majesty, it is less of a sin than a bully...... Wei Renpu made up his mind and went to see Guo Wei head-on.
There was Wang Yin's recital in front of him, Guo Wei looked at it back and forth three times, then gently closed it and put it aside.
"Wei Xianggong, what do you think?"
Wei Renpu's heart kept beating the drum, and if he said a little wrong, he had a lot to do with it! The palms of my hands are sweaty!
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Wang Yin played may not be fake, and the champion Hou is in command of the whole army, I am afraid that there are other considerations, and the old minister thinks that this matter should be properly handled."
Guo Wei snorted, "Isn't this the same as not saying?" ”
Wei Renpu hurriedly knelt down, "The old minister is incompetent, he can't solve his majesty's doubts, the minister should die!" ”
Guo Wei waved his hand lazily, "Don't always kneel, my prime minister still has to be decent!" Go down, go back and settle accounts with that kid, and see what he has to say!" ”
