Chapter 15 Lonely Ministers Are Not Alone

Shaofu Sikong (in charge of water conservancy and construction, that is, the engineer) Jia Xi frowned, pointed to the silk in his hand, and asked with a puzzled face: "This is the workshop that your smelting supervisors want to build?" ”

Zhuye Supervisor Ling Cheng Yi nodded helplessly and replied, "This is only a small part of it. ”

"Then why don't you bring the whole picture? Are you playing tricks? Jia Xi was quite displeased, he has been in the position of Sikong for more than ten years, has built countless pavilions and workshops, and knows very well that a building needs to be planned as a whole before it can be arranged in an orderly manner.

Now Zhuye Jian has only provided a small part of the detailed construction drawings, so how can he start?

Cheng Yi himself was also confused: "But Eunuch Sun (the Han Dynasty has not called the inner servant a father-in-law, and the eunuch is a very big official position, not derogatory) only gave the lower official this picture." ”

When Jia Xi heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly and say no more. Sun Quan, the eunuch of the palm seal, served Emperor Jing since he was a child, and Emperor Jing regarded him as a confidant, and he was responsible for taking care of the jade seal. Although Jia Xi is a Shaofu Sikong and is only ranked below Jiuqing, compared to Sun Quan, he is not much worse than an ant.

As a difficult brother, Cheng Yi understood Jia Xi's mood very well, but because his official position was two levels lower than Jia Xi's, it was difficult to come forward to comfort him, so he had to stand aside and pretend to be a dead dog.

At this moment, Sun Quan slowly walked over with several people and beckoned: "Jia Sikong and Cheng Jian Ling are here, but it is a coincidence, I am going to look for you two." ”

"Xiaguan has seen Eunuch Sun." Jia Xi and Cheng Yi hurriedly made a salute.

"The two of you don't have to be polite, this is Chen Huang Zhan Shi of the Prince Zhan Mansion." Sun Quan pointed to a middle-aged man behind him and introduced.

After several people greeted each other, Chen Huang said with a smile: "Jia Sikong has something difficult, but he is worried about construction? ”

"Exactly, the construction map is insufficient, and the lower officials really have nowhere to start." Finally seizing the opportunity, Jia Xi hurriedly complained, "Is there a way for Chen Zhan to do things?" ”

"Hehe, there is nothing the official can do." Chen Huang shook his head and continued: "However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked this official to bring a few craftsmen from the Zhan Mansion, and Jia Sikong can send them if he has something to do. ”

When Jia Xi heard this, he was slightly disappointed and continued: "I just don't know where the whole map of this workshop is? Why is it so secretive? ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't!" Sun Quan, who was originally smiling, suddenly lowered his face and said coldly. He knew that the emperor attached great importance to this workshop, and not only sent him a chief of internal servants to supervise it, but also repeatedly emphasized secrecy. As an old man who has been by the emperor's side for more than 30 years, he understands very well that once the secret is leaked, the emperor will be angry, and it is not something that can be ended by killing one person.

"No, it's Xia Guan Meng Lang." Jia Xi was shocked when he heard this, obviously guessing that all this was the emperor's intention, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and his back was chilling all the time.

Cheng Yi next to him was secretly glad that he was a young official and didn't have a chance to speak.

Sun Quan saw that Jia Xi and Cheng Yi were sweating profusely, and he also knew that his reaction was a little excessive, so he immediately let go of his face and said softly: "Your Majesty personally inquired about this matter, as long as the two adults work hard, Your Majesty will not appreciate it in the future." ”

Jia Xi and the others were shocked when they heard this, and understood that this was a big opportunity for His Majesty to show his face, so they hurriedly nodded and promised, promising to do their best to share His Majesty's worries.

"Jia Sikong, the drawings in your hands are just a sketch of the left side of the workshop. Here, alone, students have dozens of detailed drawings in their hands. Sikong can transfer his craftsmen into ten teams, each team is commanded by the craftsmen of Zhan Shifuzhong, and the construction needs to be completed within five days. A young man in a green shirt walked out from behind Chen Huang, made a gesture, and said slowly.

"This is the prince's concubine, Zhang Qian." Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Chen Huang introduced, and was afraid that everyone would bully Zhang Qian's youth, so he added, "It was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the construction." ”

Jia Xi was stunned, no wonder Chen Huang was so polite to him, it turned out to be a close minister of the prince, if nothing else, he would be an important minister of the court in the future.

"Since Zhang Shuzi ordered it, the official should do it himself, but this is the construction map?"

Zhang Qian smiled slightly, handed over a piece of silk in his hand and said: "Xia Guan understands Jia Sikong's difficulties, this is the whole map of the workshop, but it is only a simple map, only the location, size, and specifications of each house are marked. Sikong can be used as a global reference, and the details cannot be provided by the lower officials. ”

Jia Xi took the silk silk and looked at it, only to see that there were many small squares painted on it, with strange but seemingly regular symbols. There are also parts of the graph that combine solid lines and dotted lines, and it always seems that there is an indescribable feeling.

Zhang Qian seemed to know that he couldn't understand, and motioned for a craftsman behind him to step forward and explain to him continuously.

Jia Xi listened while comparing the drawings, and his eyes gradually lit up. After looking at the complete picture in detail, I couldn't help but pat my thigh: "Wonderful!" Wonderful! As long as you can understand these things called numbers and three-dimensional drawings, even if the person who drew the drawings is not there, the craftsmen can create complex buildings without any mistakes. ”

I saw him take a step forward and hold Zhang Qian's hand: "Zhang Shuzi!" Can the lower officials meet the person who made the map, such a great talent, if you are willing to come to our empty mansion, the lower officials are willing to let the virtuous! ”

Zhang Qian's head is full of black lines, do you really want to make Xian? Let the prince be Sikong? Who is the crown prince for?

Zhang Qian hurriedly said: "Jia Sikong should not be embarrassed to be an official, and let Xian's words be said again." The person who made the drawing said that if Jia Sikong wanted to learn, he could be taught by a few craftsmen brought by the lower officials. As long as the workshop construction is not delayed, you can send more people to learn from them. ”

Jia Xi was stunned when he heard this, and he had to nod helplessly.

At the same time, the magnates of Beique Jiadi looked at more than 100 carts with dilapidated furniture in amazement, driving on the road in a steady stream.

You must know that Beique Jiadi is located outside the main gate of Weiyang Palace, with Gui Palace on the left and Beigong on the right. The people who live here are either rich or expensive, and every inch of land is valuable. Looking at the broken buckets in the car, even the people in the family can't look at it, who is still transporting it in a car?

Among them, the most depressed is Anle Hou Liao Gu, his grandfather was a young general under Gaozu, and after the founding of the country, he was named a hereditary An Le Hou. With the shadow of his ancestors, Liao Gu inherited the title and several properties in Chang'an City.

When I walked out of the gate this morning, I found that the gates of the two houses on the left and right were full of carriages. Many men, women, and children dressed as civilians kept unloading things from the car and happily moving them to the house.

Originally, the two houses on the left and right belonged to Princess Guantao's other courtyards, and Liao Gu was often proud of this. After all, Princess Guantao is very favored by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and being able to meet her occasionally can be regarded as a bit of heavenly spirit.

Who knew that so many flat-headed people lived in it at once, and they didn't have to break the feng shui.

Liao Gu was unhappy, and his entourage didn't bring him, so he walked over in a hurry, pulled over a young man who was standing by the door and watched the excitement, and asked, "Boy! What's going on? Who allowed you to move in?! ”

The young man frowned, stopped several strong men in the crowd with his eyes, and said coldly: "Can you manage it?!" ”

Liao Gu laughed angrily: "Yo, you're quite horizontal, do you know who I am?" ”

The young man flicked his sleeves, shook Liao Gu's hand away, and turned his head to ignore him.

"You pariah! Master Hou said today that he will teach you a lesson for Lao Tzu, and teach you to know the dignity of the elders and the young! Liao Gu was drunk and dreaming of death, his body was too weak, he was caught off guard, he was thrown off, and his face was full of anger and he was about to step forward to fight.

"Stop! Who dares to make trouble here! ”

There was a thunder on the ground, and a middle-aged man in a brown official uniform walked slowly, followed by several armor soldiers.

Liao Gu looked at it fixedly, almost scared to pee, and his lips kept trembling: "Cang...... Goshawk ......"

"Huh?!" The middle-aged man raised his sword eyebrows and glared at Liao Gu and snorted coldly.

"Ahh No! Lieutenant Zhidu! Liao Gu's legs were weak and he fell to his knees.

It's over! Although the magnates called Lieutenant Zhi a ruthless goshawk behind their backs, Liao Gu was the first to dare to call it in front of him. The powerful people who were caught by him, as long as they entered the lieutenant's mansion, they would either die or be injured, this is a ruthless person who even the former prime minister Zhou Yafu didn't pay attention to.

originally thought that he would at least be beaten by fat, but Liao Gu knelt on the ground for a long time, but there was no movement. He bumped into his courage and raised his head, but there was no trace of Zhidu, and the young man was nowhere to be found.

Liao Gu let out a sigh of relief, and didn't care about the ridicule in the eyes of everyone around him, got up and ran back to the Hou Mansion, and poured several pots of tea in a row, which suppressed the fear in his heart. He made up his mind not to trouble the two families next to him again, otherwise he would be caught by Zhi Du again, and he would be scared to death if he was not killed.

However, Liao Gu couldn't imagine that the ruthless Zhidu was accompanying the young man in civilian clothes to go shopping at this time.

Looking at the passers-by who were far away and secretly looking here, the young man shook his head and smiled: "Lieutenant Zhidu is really famous!" No wonder when my father was the crown prince, he let you be the prince first. As soon as Zhidu came out, the gods opened up, and the road seemed much wider. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed, he can't talk about prestige, but the lower officials have a bit of a bad reputation." Zhi is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hehe, lieutenant, don't be modest. Everyone hates cruel officials, but the lone king is different. Lonely ministers are rare, lonely ministers are rare! Liu Che, who was dressed as a civilian teenager, smiled and didn't care.

Zhi Du was stunned when he heard this, and was silent for a long time, before he smiled and said: "The word lonely minister, this is the first time I have heard it for the lower officials, and it is very interesting to taste it carefully." ”

Liu Che nodded and continued: "Lieutenant, do you know why the ancient emperors were all called lonely and widowed? ”

Zhidu was a little curious: "The lower officials don't know, and I ask His Highness to give advice." ”

"The Lone King is not an ancient emperor, and he is just speculating."

Liu Che smiled, scratched his head, and said: "Rotten Confucianism often says: gentlemen are not parties. Ridiculous and hateful! If you don't think about the party, how can you be a group? The human heart is unpredictable! Those who are in high positions of power and one person will bring disaster to the public. And the emperor, if he is biased towards one person, he will harm the country! It is said that it is a lonely widow, not a party or a group, and it is really a last resort. But where there is a widow and a lonely minister, then the widow is not a widow, and the lonely minister is not alone. ”

"Lonely ministers are not lonely! Lonely is not alone! ……”

Zhi Du muttered in his mouth, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he stopped, took a deep look at Liu Che to the end, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you for your highness's teachings, you are willing to be a lonely minister forever, and you will live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and Your Highness!" ”

Liu Che didn't speak again, just sighed slightly. It took so much effort to hope that Zhidu could be regained his life.

Zhidu is a rare talent, according to historical records, Zhidu was the Taishou of Yanmen County for four years, and the Huns were so frightened that they did not dare to go south to herd horses. Until the Xiongnu used the discord scheme of the Bank of China, and deceived the Queen Mother to recall it to the court. Zhi Du mistakenly thought it was Emperor Jing's will, and committed suicide. Before he swallowed his breath, he asked someone to bring a message to Emperor Jing: "Weichen is still a loyal minister until he dies!" When Emperor Jing heard the news, he almost couldn't stand, and sighed up to the sky: "Harm me goshawk!" Harm me goshawk! ”

With such a talent and such a loyal minister, he can no longer be buried in the hands of villains in this world!
