Outside the city of Chang'an, the carriage stopped. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Under the eyes that everyone is accustomed to, Lu Chengqi slowly got out of the carriage. And the person who knew the goods, when he saw the carriage carved with the dragon, immediately stopped and exclaimed, "Holy one! ”

Then, naturally, the people around him fell to the ground one by one, and Lu Chengqi was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite......

The imperial guards behind him also said what had happened, so frightened that they hurriedly drove the carriage and arrived as if flying, only to find that someone recognized the emperor and was worshipping.

Lu Chengqi saw that everyone was almost there, and in order not to show his face again, he whispered: "Quick, protect me back to the palace!" ”

The imperial guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly surrounded Lu Chengqi and rushed out of the surrounding crowd. After a short half an hour, I finally arrived at the royal street. A little further walk, it is Xuande Gate.

Lu Chengqi was a little afraid, the current people are too enthusiastic about seeing the emperor. If, as he had done recently, an Assassin tried to assassinate him in the crowd, there would be no way to prevent it. Now that even Wang Yuanshi has someone who wants to assassinate him, Lu Chengqi has to raise his vigilance.

In front of the Xuande Gate, the City Defense Department checked Lu Chengqi's token before letting him enter the palace. There is no way, this is the rule set by Taizu, and even the emperor is no exception.

Enter from the Xuande Gate and go straight to the vertical arch hall. It's been a day's errand, and I don't know what those folds are piling up. Rushed back to the vertical arch hall to see, fortunately, the cabinet system is still very powerful, it is estimated that the folds presented are sent to the Wende Palace.

By the way, it is Xu Chongguang's old man on duty today, and it is estimated that he will complain in front of Lu Chengqi again. Lu Chengqi smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "In that case, it's better for me to deal with it myself!" ”

What he didn't know was that Xu Chongguang's little old man was cheap and behaved, if it weren't for that, he was afraid that Lu Chengqi would not be at ease. It's hard to grab a little power from Lu Chengqi, if you hand it all back, wouldn't you want to cry without tears?

Lu Chengqi rushed back, but there was nothing to do, just when he sighed that there were many loyal ministers in Dashun, a small yellow door pulled his throat outside the vertical arch hall and said: "Your Majesty, the Supervision Department sent a secret report." ”

Lu Chengqi's spirit suddenly perked up, and he said in his heart: "There is finally something to do." ”

"Bring it on!" Lu Chengqi said lightly, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly bowed down and entered the vertical arch hall, handed over a box painted with fire paint to Lu Chengqi, and then bowed respectfully and retreated.

Lu Chengqi skillfully picked up the fire paint and took out an envelope from inside, which was still a fire paint on it. After picking the paint again, pour out a letter.

As soon as he read two lines of words, Lu Chengqi's expression suddenly became serious. This is the fastest way for the Supervision Department to send back a secret report from Henan Road. As mentioned above, since July, there has been too much rainfall, and the Yellow River is in danger of bursting. If it weren't for Li Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who led a group of people to strengthen and raise the embankment, I am afraid that the section from the Daimyo's Mansion to Kaifeng would have been broken. Letters are written in plain language in order to avoid mistakes. Reading between the lines, Lu Chengqi could see that Li Jie was attentive.

You must know that a year before Lu Chengqi ascended the throne, the Yellow River was flooded. The gap was finally plugged, and a month before he was reborn, the Yellow River burst again. If it weren't for Yang Taishi in power, I'm afraid Lu Chengqi would have been forced to make an edict against himself.

In this era when the illiteracy rate of the common people is as high as 90%, once there is any famine, flood, locust plague, etc., it is the emperor's improper administration, if disasters are frequent, the emperor will issue an edict against himself, or set up a water and land puja to pray for the Jade Emperor.

After Lu Chengqi read the entire secret report, he sighed in his heart: "This Li Jie, he is really capable!" With his own strength, he blocked the Yellow River and did not flood Kaifeng. ”

Lu Chengqi remembered that in his previous life, he read an article that the city of Kaifeng, since its establishment, has been the focus of the Yellow River's care. In the official history, it was flooded as many as six times. It can be said that the Kaifeng of later generations was built on the ruins again and again. Otherwise, how could there be a landscape of a hanging river on the ground!

After Lu Chengqi burned the letter, he stood up and thought: "This is not a solution, if you can dig a canal to discharge the flood, then things will be much easier." I hope Li Jie can handle it! ”

Lu Chengqi looked through the records of the former emperor and found that almost none of the officials who controlled the water had a good end. Although most of them died by themselves and embezzled money and silver to control the river, some of them were also degraded because their professional skills were not strong enough and they failed to control the river, but the flood became more serious.

Just as Lu Chengqi was thinking, the little yellow door outside the hall said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Director Xu of the Supervision Department asks to see you." ”

Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "At this point, Xu Jingchun came to see me, what's the matter?" ”

"Announce his audience!" After a turn of thought, Lu Chengqi returned to the dragon chair and said lightly.

Not long after, Xu Jingchun dressed in official clothes, walked into the vertical arch hall, bowed to Lu Chengqi and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Lu Chengqi looked at the intelligence leader who he hadn't seen for a few days, and found that the gloom on his body was even stronger, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. But this was also caused by him, so he had to say: "Xu Qing is exempt, I came to meet at this time, but there is something important to do?" ”

Xu Jingchun nodded, Lu Chengqi knew what he meant, waved his hand, and waited for Xu Jingchun's next step after the palace maids and eunuchs were retired.

"Your Majesty, from the side of Goryeo, the news is here." Xu Jingchun took a few steps forward and said softly.

"Oh, those jumping clowns, what are you doing now?"

Xu Jingchun said: "Our Supervision Department secretly purchased the autumn grain of the Goryeo Kingdom, as if their whereabouts have been exposed, and the ministers have made their own decisions and ordered them to act carefully, and they have already given up most of the acquisitions at this time. I don't know if it's done correctly, but I hope Your Majesty will give me advice. ”

Lu Chengqi looked at the gloomy intelligence leader in front of him when he talked about work, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but he still said: "Xu Qing knows my intentions very well, and I am very relieved. Gao Li is not a vegetarian either, Wang Hui still has some ability to find out that it was my Dashun who did it. My opinion is that we should divide the whole into pieces, first lurk, and wait until there is a shortage of grain in Goryeo before raising the price of grain and selling grain in limited quantities. In this way, you will be able to grab the gold and silver in Goryeo, and your Supervision Department will have a source of income, and you will not have to reach out to the royal village every time you spend money. ”

Xu Jingchun said: "The minister obeys the order! ”

"By the way, how is the Jurchen side?" Lu Chengqi has never relaxed his vigilance against this potential strong enemy.

"Back to Your Majesty, our spy has already gained the initial trust of the Jurchen clan. They welcomed us to barter, they were still very poor, and only animal skins and ginseng could be exchanged. Xu Jingchun replied respectfully.

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "These things are sold at a very high price in Dashun, and your Supervision Department is not a loss." You don't make too much money, try to make the price as high as possible, and support them first to fight against the Liao State. ”

"Obey the order!"

"Anything else?"

"Back to Your Majesty, that's all for the time being." Xu Jingchun thought for a moment and replied.

"Then you can go and get busy, it's not too early." Lu Chengqi looked at Tiansedao.

After Xu Jingchun withdrew from the Vertical Arch Palace, Lu Chengqi looked at his back and sighed softly: "Alas, what an eventful season! (To be continued.) )
