Xia said that it was scorching, and Emperor Jing saw that the overall situation of the border plug was determined, and he was excited, but he felt tired. The high mental tension that lasted for several months was really unbearable for him, who was riddled with stubborn diseases.

Lishan Ganquan Palace is a holy place for summer recuperation, and it is simply in the expectation of the public, Emperor Jing finally took his wife and children to move to Ganquan. And the important ministers of the court also fled from the steamer-like Chang'an City one after another to enjoy this rare holiday.

The royal leisure villa at the foot of the South Mountain has long been filled with Chang'an dignitaries and their relatives. The courtiers who arrived late couldn't stay at all, so they couldn't be roared by the Hedong lion at home.

Liu Feiyuan, the king of Jiangdu, also expected that the arrival of midsummer would cause a full house, but he had no intention of expanding the villa. In the words of Prince Liu Che, the villa should be high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade, rather than a cheap commodity on a bad street.

As a result, the status of the Chang'an magnates and the size of their power were immediately clear. Most of the small and medium-sized nobles who have already lived in the villa have consciously and voluntarily given up their residences, and they are thankful if they can please the big nobles and not to say that they will not offend them.

The princes did not have these troubles, they all have their own three-storey buildings on the shore of the artificial lake, according to the unique language of the villa, which is called a single-family lakeside villa. There are less than 20 high-end villas in the whole villa, which can be described as different styles and ingenuity.

In fact, the construction drawings come from the graffiti works that Liu Che drew in his leisure time, which mixed Chinese and Western architectural styles in later generations. After being seen by Liu Fei by chance, he was amazed, and immediately took away the craftsman to build it.

This is a bitter Han craftsman, and Liu Che only drew the appearance at all. He didn't study architecture in the first place, he didn't understand the mysteries, and he never thought of having people build them. He didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Fei's self-asserted behavior, and he was not optimistic, because Baroque vaults and Gothic vaults were not so easy to build, not to mention that they didn't know the internal structure at all.

However, when Liu Che had long forgotten about it, Liu Fei excitedly informed him that more than ten villas had been completed, and asked him if he had any new exterior drawings.

Liu Che left the palace in a suspicious way, and personally went to the Royal Leisure Villa to admire it, and was amazed by this kind of building that looks like a church from a distance, a castle from a distance, and a hotel when you enter. Liu Che couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the wisdom of the people is unlimited, and the ability of the cottage is incomparable, perhaps it should be called cultural integration.

The villa is built, and it always has to be occupied. The princes who had been staring at them for a long time were naturally one person and one building, and the four little princes under Liu Che's aunt and Mrs. Wang Erjiao were also prepared in advance and ten sets were prepared.

Now the fourteen princes of Emperor Jing are divided into two factions, which are distinct. The three of the abolished prince Liu Rongge were all born to Mrs. Li, and naturally hated the ten princes who were the only ones who looked forward to Liu Che, which could be described as incompatible. Liu Fei never considered giving them any benefits, so as not to make Liu Che angry, and he also diluted the benefits.

The remaining villas are not easy to distribute, even if Liu Fei hyped it up and tried to sell it at a high price, he was surprised to find that no one came to inquire at all. Come to think of it, now this lakeside villa has faintly become a symbol of the top power, in Chang'an City, where wealthy families gather, who dares to be this bird?

Even the queen mother's brother Dou Jun and the emperor's sister Princess Guantao did not dare to be angry, lest they attract envy for no reason. However, Lao Zongzheng Liu Tong did not shy away from it, and spent tens of millions of dollars to buy a building, and this time he came to escape the summer, and he really dragged his family to live in.

Liu Fei was full of helplessness, he couldn't understand a good deal, so he made a political incident. Seeing that the political struggle continues, the villa will definitely not be sold. Fortunately, according to the meaning of the prince Liu Che, two buildings were opened, and Fengzhi Hall and Yaqu Zhai were opened, hoping to at least earn back the capital.

Fengzhiguan and Yaquzhai, in fact, are also qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, to meet the spiritual pursuit of intellectuals. It's just that the audience is different.

The reception of the Fengzhi Hall is all courtiers and scholars themselves, and it is full of middle-aged and elderly male animals. You can often see a few gray-haired old men, sitting around the chessboard and playing against each other, and a pot of special new tea in the villa can be drunk for most of the day. There is also a lakeside pavilion holding a thread-like book, burying his head in the classic old pedant, and he can't even drink tea.

Liu Fei, who fell into the eyes of money, saw this, and his heart was full of grief and indignation. These old people don't cultivate, listen to small songs, enjoy the cool breeze, and spend only a few hundred dollars a day, which is really a loss-making business.

Yaquzhai is different, most of the people who come and go are the families of the powerful, especially the female dependents. The so-called chess is also flying chess, beast chess, and checkers. The so-called books are miscellaneous records of wild history, as well as newly circulated novel genres. All kinds of drinks and pastries, lest they not be refined; All kinds of utensils, lest they not be extravagant; All kinds of tips, lest there be too little. After calculating the whole thing, Liu Fei was pleasantly surprised by the income of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and strictly ordered the waiters to be more respectful to these parents in the future.

Away from the many distractions of the outside world, on the lonely island in the middle of the lake, the moisture-containing breeze gently blows through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves rustle, bringing a trace of refreshment to this hot summer.

In the quaint pavilion in the bamboo forest, four old men are sitting around the chessboard, holding the son and contemplating, this is the four immortals chess game, which is the four-person Go of later generations.

The so-called three-foot situation is a battle field; Chen Jushi was a soldier, and the two enemies were equal. Go contains the meanings of one yuan giving birth to two rituals, two rituals giving birth to four elephants, four elephants giving birth to gossip, the sky is round and the place is round, the nineteen agricultural solar terms, and the number of three hundred and sixty weeks of heaven in ancient philosophy, which is rich in variation and far-reaching in meaning.

The two-player game is still unpredictable, and the four-player game requires the player to have extraordinary computing ability, memory, creative ability, thinking ability and judgment ability.

If it is said that today's Han is the most suitable person to set up these four immortal chess games, he is now in the pavilion. Liu Tong and Wei Juan are black, and Yuan Ang and Liu She are white.

In the past, the Four Immortals chess game was tactical, "first to contain the enemy's strong hand with weakness, and then to fight the weak with the strong", that is, the team in the slightly weaker level of the opponent's home arrangement, play some chess so that the opponent must immediately save the emergency, the opponent's strong hand because of the containment, can not take care of the overall situation, and then it is the turn of their own strong hand to make a move, deal with the opponent's weak hand, and finally you can defeat the enemy.

However, now the four people in the pavilion are all scheming and long-thinking characters, and their chess strength is comparable, and the chess game is unbearable. After more than an hour, the four of them were all emaciated and a little dizzy.

Yuan Ang and Liu She looked at each other and smiled, tacitly admitted their defeat, and sighed with a smile: "Zong Zheng should be strong, but Tao Hou and I are really powerless." ”

Liu Tong stroked his beard and laughed: "You two are working hard, not to mention the hard work in the court and the official office, and also mixing some bad things, how can you be leisurely and leisurely with this king and Wei Juan?" ”

Yuan Ang shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he was speechless.

Liu She was also afraid of this old man's unabashed surname, and said helplessly: "I don't want to be disliked by both ends, but I am a doctor of imperial history, and I have the heavy responsibility of impeaching Chaoyi, so I have to act like this." ”

Liu Tong picked up the teacups on a few cases, took a sip, and shook his head: "When today's Zi Wenzhi and martial arts are all remarkable, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the treasury is full, what do you kid do from time to time to impeach, and you don't feel comfortable with yourself?" ”

Without waiting for Liu She to refute, he turned his head and taught Yuan Ang again: "And you, Your Majesty let the prince supervise the country, and it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks about you, the prime minister." Didn't you see Zhou Yafu's experience? How can you be stupid enough to be a pawn for those guys with evil intentions?! ”

Yuan Ang frowned, looked at Wei Wan beside him, and saw that he was deaf and had a casual expression on his face, and couldn't help but feel a little angry: "As the crown prince, does Duke Wei also think that the prince, who is still in his infancy, is enough to take on the heavy responsibility of supervising the country?" ”

Wei Juan played with the chess pieces in his hand and said with a smile: "Ganluo is the twelfth prime minister, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not said to have reached the age of ten, and there is a virtuous minister like Yuan Gong to assist, and Liu Gong is by the side to correct mistakes, even if the country is supervised, why not?" ”

Yuan Ang was dumbfounded when he heard this, his surname was Gengzhi, and he couldn't see anyone pretending to be stupid, but fortunately, he took out the words in his heart: "Now Your Majesty is in good health and is in the prime of life, if the prince intervenes in politics too early, you will not be afraid ......"

Ahem, Liu Sheqing coughed a few times, tilted his head to the side, and signaled that he hadn't heard anything.

Wei Juan waved his hand again and again, and said: "Since he was appointed as Taixue Sacrificial Wine, the lower officials said that they have been preaching and teaching in Taixue, and they have never asked about the court. I think it's a roundabout reading, but I really can't understand the meaning of the prime minister's words. ”

But Lao Zongzheng didn't care, and scolded with a smile: "Don't embarrass the two of them, you are a 'strong man', with a hard neck, don't bother them." If it weren't for Your Majesty's belief that you are loyal and talented, you don't know how many times you have died. ”

Yuan Ang sighed: "Since Your Majesty knows that a certain is for the sake of the society and has never shown favoritism, why do you still insist on issuing an edict to let the prince enter the central government office and cooperate with the three princes and nine secretaries to govern?" ”

Wei Juan was afraid that he would talk about taboo things again, so he immediately pouted and said, "Naturally, I am not very satisfied with the government affairs that you and others have handled, so I asked His Highness to assist from the side." ”

"Nonsense! Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely intelligent, he is not yet ten years old, can he be more familiar with government affairs than civil and military officials! Wei Gong's words are really absurd! When Yuan Ang heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, so he almost pointed at Wei Juan's nose and scolded.

Wei Juan didn't think it was angry at all, and slowly replied: "Your Highness is naturally a little immature when it comes to handling government affairs, and there will inevitably be some mistakes in many details, so you just have to check and fill in the gaps." As for the overall situation and vision, can you really catch up with Your Highness? ”

Seeing that Yuan Ang intended to refute, Wei Wanfu said again: "Duke Yuan only needs to ask Tainong Ling, the surplus of the treasury in the past two years; Then ask the military generals of the DPRK and China, how Yulin and Huben formed an army; You can also ask Shaofuqing who opened the thousands of workshops inside and outside Chang'an City today; As for the wide avenue that runs through the counties of Gyeonggi and is about to open up to the northwest, as well as the Changping positions all over Dahan, whose handiwork is it? ”

Wei Xuan's words were loud, but even he was startled after speaking, His Royal Highness has done so many big things silently in just two years. And the other three people were also mixed, and in the breeze of Xia Yue, they were stunned.

At this time, in the Ganquan Palace, Emperor Jing looked at his confident baby son and sighed: "Now that the edict has been issued, after returning to Beijing, you can cooperate with the central government to act as the government." It's just that the matter of controlling the river is very important, and I'm afraid it's not something you can control. Remember to slowly figure it out, first straighten out the intertwined relations of the various provinces, and then mention the governance of the river, so as not to make the court restless, and I don't want to wash the court in blood for the time being. ”

Liu Che nodded earnestly and promised, governing the river is the most difficult thing in all dynasties, corrupt and derelict officials are not uncommon, everyone is robbed, there is an accident, but the courts and mansions pass the buck to each other. Even in New China, there was no improvement in the slightest. Even Mao Taizu couldn't control Zhang Zishan and Liu Qingshan.

This time, after Liu Che put forward the plan of river control, Emperor Jing deliberately asked him to cooperate with the three princes and nine ministers to govern the government, which is to investigate and support talents in advance for the upcoming river control plan, and sort out the management of various provinces, which is really a long way to go.
