Chapter 434: Yangzhou Palace

Others were confused by Li You's eloquence, as if the imperial court really didn't know people before putting Chen Yingzhen in the place. But Yuan Ge Lao knows very well the relationship between Chen Yingzhen and Xu Cifu, but the relationship between the two is very low-key, and many people don't know about it. Otherwise, when the pavilion selected Jinshi as the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, Chen Yingzhen would not have been brushed down.

It can be said that Chen Yingzhen was deliberately sent to the county by Xu Cifu, who was the secretary of the ministry at the time. Besides, Xu Cifu remembered that he was just pretending to be low-key, where did he come from, "almost forgotten"?

Less than thirty is already a five-grade inspection, which is already quite good, but it is not in the court and is not familiar with it.

But Yuan Ge Lao has fought with Li You a lot of times, and he also knows that when Li You speaks, he needs to turn a few more times in his mind to be enough, and he must not speak hastily. After thinking twice, I found that I should pretend to be confused at this time, instead of coming forward to deny Li You's words.

Otherwise, Li You must have opened his mouth to say, "Xu Cifu is honest and upright, strict with himself, and never pretends to be public and private, so in order to avoid suspicion, he put the students in the place." It's not like you Yuan Ge Lao is such a public weapon for private use, your son-in-law is Chen Yingzhen in the same year, and he came up to give him an incomparably valuable patrol imperial history, and he is suspected of colluding with eunuchs to collect black money..."

Anyway, now Li You is just desperately grabbing Li Denggao and firing, why should he provoke the fire, he is not a Taoist friend who dies in poverty, and Li Denggao is not his own disciple.

When Li You enthusiastically praised his own division commander Chen Yingzhen, Yuan Ge Lao sighed in his heart, he still completed the great cause of establishing the archway!

It can be said that Li You put on a gorgeous moral cloak for ridiculing and humiliating Li Denggao. Heaven and earth are the teacher's own teacher, and Li You is upset for the teacher's life. Right and wrong are another matter, but the position can be called righteous, and no one can blame anything morally.

The boat continued to sail down the river as the people met each other, but there was silence on the deck. To each his own mind.

Or Li Taishou broke the silence, suddenly pointed to the shore, and began to act as a black guide for the Son of Heaven, "This bamboo fence is all newly built, don't look elegant, but behind the bamboo fence is either debris or grass, sloppy very..."

"The walls along the river look shiny and freshly painted. The bluestone slabs of the stone steps are very neat, and they are also newly replaced..."

Hearing Li You calmly point out these arrangements one by one, everyone on the royal boat was speechless again, your own superficial skills. It's just a matter of others poking it out, but why do you have to say this yourself?

Duan Zhien, the eldest companion of the Son of Heaven, spoke: "Lord Li is so frank and uninhibited, but is there any fear because he doesn't put His Majesty in his eyes? ”

"All of them are the hearts of the wealthy merchants in Yangzhou, although there is some waste, but the ministers are not good to forcibly brush their hearts of loyalty and service. Yangzhou is a rich place. If you can afford to pay for the silver, it's not too much to decorate one or two, and it's not a waste of money, so you can't say anything to others. If there is no action. The entry of the Son of Heaven is still as usual, this is the contempt of Tianwei. Humble Lord! ”

The Son of Heaven was silent, feeling that the meaning of Li You's words was very right. Neither treating him as a fool nor a saint is a little different from others. I still feel that there is a deep meaning, and I need to think about it carefully, which is the essence of behavior or attitude?

I don't know how long it has been, the city wall of Yangzhou City is already in sight, and the scenery on both sides of the strait has changed again. Set up all kinds of color sheds, drums and sheng, a hundred operas, dazzling.

When the royal boat arrived, countless fireworks were violently released as if they didn't want money, and then looked up at the city wall, hanging colorful clouds and silk, fluttering in the spring light.

Li You said indifferently: "These are still worshiped by various salt merchants, and they have not used the financial resources of the government. Please also ask Your Majesty not to be worried, nor to be happy, just appreciate his heart. ”

The imperial boat turned northwest of Yangzhou City and turned westward, traveled for another two or three miles, and arrived at the imperial wharf outside the Gongchen Gate in the north of Yangzhou City, where the officials of the Salt Transportation Department greeted him. …,

When the Son of Heaven's ceremonial guard was ready, Jing and the Son of Heaven got off the boat to change their chariots, and after seeing the officials of the Yun Division, they went to the palace in a mighty way, accompanied by the minister and Li You on horseback.

After walking a few steps, I saw the vast exterior wall of the palace from a distance, and Qin Shilang of the Ministry of Works was a technical expert and very sensitive to length. After the visual inspection, he was surprised and said: "It is more than 100 feet long." ”

Hearing this number, all the ministers accompanying them were shocked and slightly moved. Along the way, the temporary palace is generally about dozens of zhang, and the scale of more than 100 zhang is the first time to see.

This Li You is simply crazy, how much silver does it cost to build such a huge palace? Even though Yangzhou is known as the richest in the world, silver is not burned like this.

Just for the Son of Heaven to stay for a few days, he built a magnificent palace, wasting the people's financial resources, and wanted to treat the Son of Heaven as Emperor Yang of Sui?

An Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Bai Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Li Bianxiu turned over and dismounted, stopped the chariot, and eagerly kowtowed: "Your Majesty must not stop here, otherwise everyone in the world will think that Your Majesty likes extravagance, and if the group follows suit, the country will have no peace!" ”

Under normal circumstances, Li You would definitely be accused of being a villain who bewitched the lord by the way, but at this moment, these three people actually ignored Li You and only ignored the impeachment. Probably because of the jealousy...

The foreman's attendant minister, Yuan Ge, was entangled on the side, whether to advise or not? If the Son of Heaven appreciates the extravagance and prosperity and is willing to stop here, it is not a way to forcibly stop it.

I didn't hear about the impeachment of myself, and it was a pity that Li Taishou, who was called "building a big project". He also stepped forward with a bad taste, and said to the Son of Heaven: "This palace has spent a lot of thought on Weichen, which can be called the creation of nature, condensing the efforts of the people of Yangzhou, but it is far from extravagance!" Your Majesty, don't let me stay in Yangzhou! ”

The three of them turned a deaf ear and still stopped the royal car.

Li You spoke again: "The Son of Heaven has come from afar, and the Holy Body is tired! How many of you are stuck here, hindering the king, what do you want? It's just a simple palace, as for how difficult it is for you to let go! ”

Li Bianxiu raised his head angrily and said sharply to Li You: "Who believes your rhetoric..."

However, Bachelor Bai secretly pulled Li Bian and interrupted the following words, at this moment, the monarch is the main thing, or don't have a verbal fight with Li You.

Unexpectedly, they are all good at learning, and they can't take the bait, Li You sighed sentimentally, and the consequences of overfishing today are gradually becoming apparent.

Jing and the Son of Heaven were as big as a fight, and at this moment, suddenly an inner eunuch trotted over from behind, kowtowed to the Son of Heaven and said: "Guide to the Virtue Chitose has a saying, the Holy One doesn't care how Li You speaks, just enter the palace and stay, everything is worry-free!" ”

This woman actually ruined the good show of this official! Li You, who planned to continue to seduce several ministers to impeach him, could only be helpless.

Hearing the eldest princess speak, the Son of Heaven seemed to have a backbone, although he didn't understand what his sister's words meant, but there must be a reason, his sister has never been a fool.

The guards moved An, Bai, and Li out of the way, allowing the royal car to move on. But the three of them waited for the royal car to pass, and they continued to kneel outside the palace gate.

Li You is the first time he has seen the rigid style of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to tease this kneeling trio at this time. Then he said truthfully: "There is no cave in it, it is extremely simple, you must know that seeing is believing, and a few adults will know when they go in and take a look." ”

An Shilang said coldly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, does Master Li still want to trick me into waiting for me to go in first?" Where did you go when you committed a straightforward admonition in the Wuying Palace? ”

Li You felt a little helpless, "The palace is full of farmland and vegetable fields, not what you imagined!" ”

"Joke! You might as well say it's full of fish ponds! An Shilang reprimanded.

"Believe it or not, there are fish ponds!" Li You threw down this sentence, ignored these people, and turned around and entered the palace. ..., but said that the royal driver slowly entered the palace, touching the eye, all of which made people jaw-dropping. There is no cloud palace in the vast palace wall, there is no flower and grass garden, there is no strange mountain and fake stone, there is no tower and pavilion, only a neat field, planting a variety of agricultural vegetables and vegetables, and between the Qianmo, it is a dense row of mulberry trees.

Only one main hall of the house is still magnificent and decent, and the rest seem to be yellow clay walls with thatched roofs, typical Jiangnan farmhouse houses, scattered among the fields.

Yuan Ge thought in a trance that he was dizzy and in a peasant village, he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he didn't kneel there to admonish, otherwise he would be a little embarrassed. This Li You really didn't sell the flaws to others so easily.

The Son of Heaven looked at the novelty of the agricultural products, and couldn't help but say to the left and right: "Indeed, as Li You said, the creation of nature..."

Li You caught up from behind, and when he heard the emotion of the Son of Heaven, he played the right word: "Even the all-incomprehensible Li Bianxiu knows that agriculture is the foundation of the country, so the minister has the courage to cultivate a few acres of thin fields in the palace for the Son of Heaven to teach farming when he is free!" At this time, it is the time to harvest spring wheat and plant rice. ”

He also said respectfully: "Although Yangzhou is famous for its garden beauty, it does not dare to take the eyes and ears of His Majesty in the living room." ”

Jinghe Tianzi heard the voice-over - there are too many gardens in Yangzhou, and if you want to play, you can't miss the palace...

Send the Son of Heaven to the main hall, it is almost dusk, and when you should eat and stay in the house, you have the inner supervisor in the palace to be in charge, Li Taishou wants to offer Huaiyang food, and you have to wait until tomorrow.

The ministers and their close personnel rested in the courtyards of the thatched huts, which were shabby on the outside, but certainly not in the face of embarrassment. The camp site has already been demarcated around the palace, and the accompanying pro-soldiers and servants are camped separately.

After that, Li You saw that there was nothing to do, so he withdrew from the main hall and walked outside the palace. walked to the gate of the palace and glanced around, the trio of admonishers kneeling outside the door had disappeared, and after learning the truth, they were bored and found a place to hide.

Master Li couldn't help but smile in his heart, I wonder if these three are embarrassed to appear in front of him tomorrow?

When he continued to walk outside, an inner supervisor hurriedly chased him out and said to Li You: "Guide the horse has invited Master Li and his party!" ”

Li You hadn't heard this sentence with rich connotations for more than a year. (To be continued......)
