Jinghe Tianzi toured south to Gaoyou, stayed for a day, looked at the Gaoyou Lake embankment, and then continued south. On April 29, he entered Jiangdu County. All the officials of the government and county government went out to greet them, and Lord Li entered the palace for the second time.

Today is different from the ceremony in Baoying County, that time it was the feudal officials who greeted and drove with them, but Li You, who pretended to be the feudal officials, deliberately ran away.

And this time it was the local pro-people officials who welcomed him, and the Son of Heaven had to show a more amiable attitude in terms of etiquette, but the leading role was still played by Li Youlai. So from this point of view, it is understandable that Master Li left the team without authorization from Baoying County, otherwise the schedule could not be arranged.

The throne was set up in the cabin, and Yuan Gelao, Bai Hanlin, An Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Shilang of the Ministry of Works, Li Bianxiu, and Duan Gonggong were served, just like a small court meeting, and the front cabin was almost full. The officers who went to the deck could not enter the cabin, but could only knock outside the cabin door.

The Son of Heaven first summoned Li You, the official seal of the government and the official seal of the county. Master Li has a five-grade court costume (last time it was a bullfighting suit), and in countless strange eyes, he bowed three times and bowed nine times in a serious way. After the ceremony, he handed over the list of government and county officials to the Son of Heaven, and then stood aside.

I was on the shore when I last met, and then I was sent to the boat behind, and I didn't see the real face. This time, Li You saw it clearly, and only felt that Jing and Tianzi were a little more mature than a year ago, and there was still a sparse beard on the side of his mouth.

After that, the Son of Heaven took the list and asked the names of the county officials one by one, and met a few words of encouragement that was pleasing to the eye.

The fifth Guo Xiancheng of Jiangdu County was summoned, and after the Son of Heaven asked for his name, Taishou Li You recommended on the side: "The minister was fortunate to be appointed to act in charge of government affairs, so he entrusted the county affairs to Lord Guo. ”

Jinghe Tianzi nodded, and said to Duan Gong: "Write down your name and go back to Beijing to use it." ”

This is also a tacit understanding. During the southern tour of the Son of Heaven, it is always necessary to waive a few taels of food within the scope of not affecting the overall situation, reward a few talents, and promote a few officials, so as to create an atmosphere of celebration for the whole world. Anyway, the Son of Heaven doesn't know.,Unless it's particularly famous.,Who wins the lottery all depends on the local recommendation.。

Hearing the good news with his own ears, Guo Xiancheng felt that he had really hit the luck, and he couldn't help but silently recite the sound of Chrysostom Yuyan Tian'en Longyin in his heart, and when he went down the deck, he was still in a trance, if it wasn't for the sergeant's help, he almost fell into the water.

After seeing the officials, the imperial boat slowly started and continued to move forward, at this time there were still twenty or thirty miles according to Yangzhou City, and it would take a while.

Li You stayed on the boat to serve, others were fine, Li Xiu of the Hanlin Academy felt very uncomfortable, as soon as he saw Li You, he remembered the shame of a few days ago, and he couldn't help but think about it repeatedly, like a kind of torture.

But Li You didn't seem to care, even in front of the emperor, every word and deed and every move was still calm, and his sanctimonious demeanor was outstanding, as if he had never taken the past to heart.

Maybe it's because Li Taishou, who has experienced a hundred battles, didn't take Li Bianxiu, who can only be regarded as a potential stock for the time being, in his eyes, and the reserve cadres are not cadres, so he doesn't think it's worth remembering in a short time.

In other words, Yangzhou is an economically prosperous area like the world, and the city must be surrounded by dense towns, which is different from the traditional sense of Chengbi villages, and even more so along the canal.

The royal boat is facing south, and Jinghe Tianzi sees the green willows on both sides of the Chunqiang Li through the Xuan window, lining the pink walls and tiles of the river house, and the green steps of the bamboo fence. It's really a row-on-the-slew, densely populated, and a good style painting of Fuminfeng.

Jinghe Tianzi grew up in the deep palace of Jingshi, and he had never seen this scenery similar to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, so he couldn't help but chant a sentence of "Spring Breeze Ten Miles Yangzhou Road".

In fact, this analogy is not very appropriate, but no one corrected him, telling the Son of Heaven that the Spring Breeze Ten Mile Yangzhou Road written by Du Mu, a pervert, definitely does not refer to this kind of place, but a place where some kind of saint must never go. …,

After walking a few miles, I saw that the people on the shore were crowded and gathered, and they looked at the river one after another.

Looking far away, within a few miles ahead, the viewer is also blocked. From here to the city of Yangzhou, more than ten miles away, I don't know how many people lined up on the shore, facing the royal boat forward.

The scene of the worship of the Wanmin River made Jing and the Son of Heaven move a little, and with an order, the throne was moved from the cabin to the deck.

At this time, on the river, the spring breeze is blowing, the dragon flag is fluttering, the umbrella cover is shaking, hundreds of books are competing for the current or escorting or tailing, and the deck of the huge imperial boat has a crank Kowloon canopy.

The people on the shore across the water surface of more than ten zhang, witnessed the face of the Son of Heaven under the canopy, thundered with joy, fell into a strange fanatical atmosphere, and the shouts of the mountain shouted several times louder, permeating the sky.

On the contrary, it made the tyrant and the Son of Heaven more intoxicated and excited, I don't know why I thought, no wonder Liu Bang in the history books wants to say that the eldest husband should be like this.

The great director Li You calmly analyzed in his heart, although this little emperor has a weak temper, but he is not stage frightened, he belongs to the competition and is a high-spirited player, it seems that he will not hide in the deep palace in the future, and he will not see the minister for decades. If you really encounter such a son of heaven, no one except the eunuch Ren will have a headache.

Glancing at the living note, Li You stepped forward and said: "Don't miss this adult, this is the Son of Heaven in Yangzhou and Hexiang." ”

Yuan Ge, who was experienced in Huan Hai, sighed helplessly, this time he let Li You take the lead, why is this guy's luck always so good?

He knew that according to the geography, people's feelings, and scenery, the only places that could arrange such scenes along the way were Yangzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other canals, and the water conditions of Yingtianfu and Huai'an Mansion were not good.

Among these places, Yangzhou is the northernmost and is the first place to be reached.

Anyone who is not stupid knows that this kind of thing is the first to take advantage of it, and it definitely impresses the Son of Heaven. I'm afraid that the latter will be considered to be emulated. There is no precedent for the Son of Heaven to follow in his southern tour, how could Li You, a young and inexperienced magistrate, think of this?

Looking at the timing of the Son of Heaven drinking tea, Li You said with a little pride: "Since Emperor Gaozong returned to the capital, the people of Jiangzuo have never seen the face of heaven in the past 70 years. Let the ministers give thanks to heaven on behalf of the people. ”

Master Li deliberately implicitly boasted here, others only want to pinch their noses to listen, and they can only pinch their noses to listen. But another Master Li, Li Tanhua, couldn't help it, and didn't speak as if there was an awl pierced in his heart, and when he heard Li You mention the money and grain harvest, his heart suddenly moved.

He gathered the words and said generously: "At this time, it is the busy season of farming, Li Yangzhou is so prosperous, and the people are not worried about the amateur poison, are you not afraid of missing the agricultural time!" Agriculture is the fundamental plan of the country, and Li Yangzhou is so rash to herd and guard the place? Yin Jian is not far away, the saint must not forget this, please punish Li Yangzhou to thank the world! ”

Although this is disappointing, it is the last word of a hundred trials... Jinghe Tianzi looked at Li You, you can do it yourself.

You can say that again! Li You applauded in his heart, and said with a frown on his face: "Did Li Bianxiu ever know that as an official close to the people, what did he hate the most in his life?" ”

It's a pity that no one asks "What is it?" Li You laughed embarrassedly a few times, and asked himself: "The hardships of our pro-people officials are also so-called, and I dare not resign to serve the king!" But what I hate the most is that Li Bianxiu is a Beijing official who doesn't understand government affairs, doesn't know the people's feelings, and doesn't know the reason! ”

"Don't you see that there are towns on both sides of the river! Li Hanlin is full of poetry and books, what does it mean to know the city? This official can inform you that most of the people on the shore are engaged in business, travel, artisans, and fishing salt! Li Bianxiu can be said to be blind, where can I see that they need to farm? ”…,

"What's more, this official has already ordered that only the people within three miles of the two sides of the strait are allowed to surround the shore to watch the holy drive! Three miles away, only the old and young women and children are allowed to watch, how can they mistakenly get the agricultural time? Li Hanlin is too ignorant, don't learn from the rotten Confucianism who doesn't understand the world! ”

"After reading a few books, I dare to talk about Shi Ce without shame, is this what Hanlin is capable of! If it weren't for the Son of Heaven, wouldn't you be deceived by you and wronged your officials? ”

Li Xiu was dumbfounded, his face was flushed, he just said a few words, but Li You sprayed dozens of words in one breath... He suddenly understood, no wonder Li You took the initiative to put forward the words "money and grain harvest", which is definitely to lure the snake out of the hole!

Li You seemed to have been wronged by the heavens, and said to the Son of Heaven angrily: "In the first year of the minister's arrival, the number of Li households in Jiangdu County increased by more than 2,000, the income of money and grain increased by nearly 10,000, the government was simple and the punishment was cleared to pave bridges and roads, hundreds of thousands of people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the imperial court edict was unimpeded to the end. Thinking to himself in the quiet night, he is worthy of Jun'en and the court, and he is worthy of Sheji and Li Min, but when he sees Li Bianxiu, who doesn't know everything, he wants to be three feet shorter than him, and he wants to be scolded by him for no reason, and his future will never be as high as him in the future, is this reasonable? ”

Now the whole boat is slandering in their hearts, Li You is pretending to be crazy and stupid, deliberately pretending to be wronged and boasting of his merits to find the Son of Heaven to ask for an official? Who says you don't have a good future? Who do you have to blame for Tanhua Hanlin? This dynasty is the tradition of non-Hanlin not entering the cabinet, as long as a Tanhua Hanlin is not too bad, he can survive to the level of a waiter at the very least.

Li You kowtowed with grief and indignation and said loudly: "I was scolded by Li Bian Xiu out of thin air, but it reminded the minister of something that he was quite unconvinced!" Why are Beijing officials more expensive than local officials? Why are Beijing officials promoted faster than localities? Why is Hanlin only good at literature, but I don't know why government affairs are the fastest? Why should the ruler of the world's affairs be chosen from among the ministers of literature? Why didn't Hanlin join the cabinet? ”

"In this way, the future of the officials who are close to the people in the world is almost hopeless, so they can't make up their minds, and if they can't make up their minds, how can they serve the king wholeheartedly? Could it be that the pro-people official represents the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, and his duties are not important? ”

This question is very complicated, and if you change the mature Son of Heaven, you would have reprimanded Li You a long time ago. Jinghe Tianzi was young and immature, where could he say one, two, three, so he had to innocently look at Yuan Gelao, the chief attendant, and motioned to him.

Yuan Ge Lao scolded in his heart, it was obviously the grudge between you Li You and Li Bianxiu, or that you didn't like me and the other ministers. But it has to be related to the difference and tradition between the magistrate and the Beijing official, can this be made clear in three or two sentences? also put on a face of asking for the life of the magistrates of the world, and his face was hateful! . After sitting for a day, I regained my feelings slightly. [This text is provided by Qihang]
