Chapter 504 Meritorious service is rewarded

As soon as Zhao Taishoufu came ashore, he sneezed one sneeze after another.

In front of the emperor and the ministers, he didn't want to lose his manners, but there was really no way, the Yellow River water in this season was really too cold, and the goods had been soaked in it for too long.

A fat man with purple lips, swinging all over his body, sneezing one bite at a time, sneezing and squirting water in his mouth, and actually popping out of his mouth a small fish that was jumping around, that look......

The guards consciously pushed him aside, it doesn't matter if you sneeze, don't pass it on to His Majesty the Emperor, and cause the dragon to get sick.

Looking at his virtue, Li Shimin just snorted heavily, but at this time, he didn't have to scold him for his political problems.

The ministers were all shocked, thinking that the emperor would be furious about the assassin, but Li Shimin was completely uneventful, stepped forward, took a closer look at the situation of the river embankment for a while, and his face became more and more cold. At this time, Zhao Yuankai didn't sneeze anymore, but just secretly looked at the emperor's face, and a chill went straight to his heart.

After a while, one of the guards led the people to hurry back, knelt on one knee, and pleaded guilty with his sword: "Sage, the gangsters are dressed as refugees, and as soon as they flee into that chaotic shantytown, they will be unrecognizable, and the ministers are incompetent!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said lightly: "Assassination, a little trick that is not on the stage, three or five are stubborn, and the local investigation is it!" ”

Zhao Yuankai's eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward to ask for help, but he was forced back by Li Ji and the eldest grandson Wuji's two pairs of knife-like sharp gazes.

Li Shimin solved this matter lightly, stared at the embankment of the Yellow River, and said in a deep voice: "This embankment is so decaying!" Seeing that it is freezing, it is not a big problem, but next spring, once there is more rain, ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji is the prime minister, the head of the hundred officials, and immediately approached, bowed down and said: "Puzhou is incompetent, and His Majesty Lao is sad." The minister thought that the danger of the Yellow River was a matter of social welfare, and the Ministry of Engineering could be directly ordered to take over and solve the hidden danger as soon as possible. Li Yu in the Ministry of Works, a young talent, can be a heavy responsibility! ”

Li Yu has been following behind, and when he heard this, his heart jumped: "This guy is too careful, dig a pit for me." ”

If you don't do things without making mistakes, how can you do things without flaws? Even if you don't, the people around you can't all be perfect, and you can always find a ballast to count on your head.

Wasn't that the way he presided over the construction of the spiritual platform before, and he almost trapped him.

Speaking from the heart, the eldest grandson Wuji does have the talent of a prime minister, but there is no measure of a prime minister. Li Yu believed that if he took over the important task of repairing the Yellow River dam, the eldest grandson Wuji would never make a stumbling block in the conscription and payment of money and food, and he would definitely have it in the overall situation.

But for such a huge project, if you want to find faults, you must be able to find faults, and when the time comes, the work will also be out, even if there is no fault in the construction quality of the Yellow River embankment, it is easy to find a fault in other aspects, especially in terms of degree support.

Prime Minister, it's so easy to stare at you.

Li Yu was in a hurry, so he wanted to step forward to defend himself, but there was no place for him to speak, and he just stopped when he moved.

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji deeply, and said lightly: "The matter is big, and the waiter of the Ministry of Works personally presides over it!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Li Shimin inspected the embankment again, how is it here, how is it there, he asked and thought, and from time to time he also gave some suggestions, and some people took shorthand on the side. In the end, Li Shimin went to the Dragon King Temple to worship God. When such an incident happened just now, the guards naturally entered first, and after carefully investigating for a long time, they found the temple blessing and several of its disciples who were tied up to death and stuffed with cloth in their mouths.

It's just that the Son of Heaven obviously wants to downplay this matter, and all the courtiers see it in their eyes, not only the ministers don't mention the strange assassination of Fang Cai, but even the officials in charge of the emperor's residence have not recorded such an important matter.

When everything was done, the emperor drove back to the palace, and before leaving, he repeated two important things that must be solved as soon as possible: the resettlement of refugees and the repair of the embankment. Assassinate? Has there ever been such a thing?

Since the emperor's mind is like this, the ministers understand it, and when they turn back, they must ask the refugees who witnessed it to be careful and not to talk nonsense. However, this only needs to be ordered, and the local princes will deal with it.

During this period, Zhao Yuankai was wearing a wet suit blowing in the autumn wind, following inside and out, and before he returned to the city, he had two tubes of snot flowing endlessly, and followed the team back to the city slowly.

Someone next to him grabbed it, tried his forehead, it was hot, and when he saw his face, a sickly flush had already floated, and someone immediately ordered his entourage to carry him back to the mansion and extend his own medical treatment.

The emperor was in front of him and knew nothing about it.

Returned to the palace, the hundred officials asked for peace, and dispersed, although they were curious about the strange things that happened on the embankment today, but they only wandered around in their hearts, and they didn't talk about it in twos and threes.

Li Yu is also dressed in wet clothes, relying on his young firepower, he is not as unbearable as Zhao Yuankai, but he is also uncomfortably cold. As soon as he saw that the emperor had returned to the palace, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting that the two imperial guards were already blocked in front of him, one of them said with a smile: "Li Gongbu, Your Majesty has summoned!" ”

So, Li Yu wore wet clothes and entered the palace.

On the empty hall, Li Yu stood for a long time, Li Shimin came out from behind, looked at his appearance, had already bathed, changed into Yanju's regular clothes, and only brought two big eunuchs with him, but looking at the two big eunuchs, their eyes always seemed to be closed and faint, and their hands seemed to be hanging down, Li Yu always felt a little similar to Mr. Mo.

"It should be a master too!" Li Yu speculated.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yu, who was under his way, and saw that he was still wearing wet clothes, and his expression moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. He sat down with his sleeves apart, and then said lightly: "Flatten!" ”

Li Yu got up and stood still, Li Shimin took a sip of tea, held the teacup for a long time, and suddenly stared at Li Yu: "Today, you have warned me several times. Could it be that there is a villain who wants to assassinate me, and you have already noticed it? ”

Li Yu had a sudden feeling in his heart, if this matter is not explained well, it may cause death.

Li Yu coughed lightly and said, "Yes!" Minister...... I have been aware of it for a long time. ”

Li Shimin's gaze became sharper: "In that case, why don't you understand and say that I know?" ”

The two big eunuchs standing behind Li Shimin raised their eyelids at the same time, there were only four of them in the main hall, but Li Yu was swept away by them like this, and there was a feeling of suffocation coming from all directions.

Li Yu shuddered, and Li Shimin squinted unconsciously.

If his heart is empty, why is he empty?

In fact, Li Yu was only half frightened and half cold, but Li Yu reacted quickly, and immediately changed to a shy color, like a shy girl, and twisted her body slightly, perfectly covering up the previous "delicate body shock".

"Minister...... The minister did not dare to hide it from His Majesty! ”

Li Yuchang shook his head: "The minister has learned some divination techniques, and occasionally tried, but most of them worked, so I believe it." Today there is a hexagram in Qabu, and the hexagram shows this, but ...... But the minister is not sure, and the other is only a vague hexagram and cannot be said clearly. Moreover, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance in this side door...... It's hard to talk about. ”

"I see!"

Li Shimin suddenly realized that he also believed this. And he has two of the most famous fortune tellers under him, one is Yuan Tiangang and the other is Li Chunfeng, since this is the case, he is relieved.

Li Shimin said lightly: "If it weren't for your warning, I would inevitably be injured." You, if you have merit, why be afraid. ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "The woman who stabbed was suddenly rescued by her comrades." And what is used by his comrades...... It seems to be the wooden kite that Lu Ban once made in ancient books, what do you think about this? ”

Li Shimin didn't dare to ignore it, if the gangsters had such a sharp weapon, countless assassins would fall silently in the night at night, and the heavy troops outside would be useless. In addition to Gong E, Ouchi is a eunuch, and he, the emperor, can only be slaughtered.

Li Yuxin said: "If there is really a group of sub-traversers and everyone appears together, then how can you stop it?" It doesn't work to really get Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong to be door gods. Yes? It's not eh, my country's public security is very good, and the control of guns is extremely strict, even if you really come through a gang, I'm afraid that you won't have a sharp weapon, so you can only deliver food! ”

Li Yu was thinking nonsense, and seeing that Li Shimin was looking at him steadily, he hurriedly gathered his mind and reassured the emperor: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, although the minister works in the Ministry of Industry, but because of Your Majesty's grace, the minister was originally a ......, and Your Majesty also knows, and the minister is not proficient in construction." ”

Li Yu first put his posture very low, and then said: "But the minister has come into contact with many masters in construction because of this opportunity, and the wooden kite that carries people is indeed peculiar. But ......"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "But what? ”

Li Yu said: "However, it is not so easy to make that artifact and the materials required. There is only one gangster, and it is only used to save people in critical moments, which can be seen, so it is difficult to popularize. This is one of them; Moreover, the utensils clearly require the help of wind and high and low distances to take off and land, if in the city, it is extremely difficult to use, and this is also the second; That artifact can't take off and land as they want, otherwise they can ride this thing to attack and kill, why ambush the Dragon King Temple on the embankment, and pretend to be a slender man and wait to approach? This is also the third. Therefore, the minister thinks that this thing cannot be trusted, and it is difficult to make a big use. ”

Li Shimin thought about it carefully, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly: "You have a palace to save the car, and I have my own decision." Let's go back first, lest you get wet and catch the cold. ”

Li Yu secretly complained, your heart disease is gone, so you are concerned, why did you go just now? But his face was respectful, and he said: "The minister is Your Majesty, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire, what is a little cold, ah ...... angry"

In this era, medicine is not developed, and a cold can really kill him, Li Shimin glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't be reckless, come on, give a bowl of ginger soup, and retreat!" ”

A big eunuch took a few steps forward and made a solemn gesture to Li Yu, since it was a gift from the Son of Heaven, he had to take it away and use ginger soup before leaving. At this time, there was no small yellow door waiting in the palace, so he had to be a big eunuch to do it. Big or small, it's just in front of others, isn't it all in front of the emperor?

When Li Yu retreated, Li Shimin let out a long breath, closed his eyes for a moment, and did not open his eyes, but said slowly: "What Li Yu said, what do you think?" ”

The big eunuch next to him bowed down and said: "The slave maid has checked the situation of Li Yu, he is in Lizhou, he is indeed known as a little fairy, and he is proficient in divination." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and suddenly said: "Wuji's mind is not broad enough, what do you care about with a junior?" ”

The big eunuch accompanied the smiling face, this is not what he should evaluate, he is not only under the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, but also His Majesty's brother-in-law, how dare he talk more.

Li Shimin thought about it again, suddenly smiled, and said: "Li Yu, this guy, entered the Tao from business, first entered the Propaganda Division, and then moved to the Ministry of Industry, which is not his strength, but with his diligence, he has never made a mistake. ”

It's funny with a bit of appreciation, and then it's time to interject and make fun, or the emperor's uncle is boring to sing a one-man show alone, isn't it?

The big eunuch immediately laughed and said, "If you don't have talent, you can do it." This is a member of His Majesty's blessing general. ”

Li Shimin smiled dumbly, thought for a while, and said: "I am the master, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished." Li Yu has a meritorious role in saving the driver, and he can't help but be rewarded. In fact, this person has been wandering outside the civil and military paths, and if he is in the middle of the road, he is afraid that it will be difficult for a strong man to ask him to go to the imperial examination. Look at his skills. Intended ......"

The great eunuch hurriedly bent down and pricked up his ears......
