"Master Du, why do there seem to be a lot fewer soldiers in the palace today, what's going on?" In the Wude Palace, Wei Yuancheng looked at Du Ruhui, glanced outside, and said, "How do you feel that there is something missing here?" ”

"What can be missing? Isn't it just that there are fewer people? Du Ruhui looked at the mountain in front of him and said: "It has not rained for fifteen days, and with the situation in February, it has not rained for nearly a month." Look at the excerpts in front of you, they are all here to report the disaster, Shandong, Guanzhong, Hebei and other places, and now they are missing Jiangnan and Hubei. ”

"Jiangnan or Hubei probably not! There are many water networks in those places, and there are keel waterwheels, so there should be no problem in spring ploughing! Wei Yuancheng said with some hesitation: "Lord Eldest Sun, didn't you give these things to Your Majesty?" ”

"What if you hand it over? What can the emperor do there? It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, no matter how strong Your Majesty's skills are, you can't let it rain on the sky. Now we can only do our own efforts and find a way to let the people water the land in time, and spring plowing can not be delayed. The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said: "These bastards, they only know how to chant poetry and make the moon on weekdays, but they don't know how to do things for the people. It's all stupid guys. ”

Wei Yuancheng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at everyone in the Wude Palace, and said, "Do you know something, or maybe I'm late, Your Majesty has already issued a holy decree?" ”

"Your Majesty, where does your majesty have time to care about us now, these political affairs are handed over to the Wude Palace, and the affairs of the Northern Expedition soldiers are also handed over to the Wuying Palace, and the general, Xuan Jing and others are still resting in the Wuying Palace! The military exploits of hundreds of thousands of soldiers cannot be verified in just a few days. Du Ruhui put down the brush in his hand and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for the queen mother sending someone to tell us, I'm afraid we wouldn't know that Your Majesty has left the palace, and even His Royal Highness has gone to Guanzhong." ”

"Why is that?" Wei Yuancheng asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty personally labors. Dig ditches. The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly: "The civil officials are a little better, but the generals have all gone out with Your Majesty, and at this time it should be at Zheng Guoqu, in Your Majesty's words, it may not rain in the sky, then we will divert the water of the Wei River and the Jing River to irrigate Guanzhong." Your Majesty is to set an example and command the people of the world. To be honest, I'm just a weak scholar, otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be willing to follow His Majesty to work. ”

Wei Yuancheng was silent when he heard it, Li Xin gave him a great surprise in many places, and the more because of this, it made him even more unclear in his heart what kind of character Li Xin was, sometimes cold-blooded and ruthless. Sometimes it's like a woman, sometimes it's decisive, sometimes it's procrastinating, sometimes it's high, it's the supreme of the Tang Dynasty, and sometimes it looks like just an ordinary person.

Now the emperor who is high up in the sky actually went to dig a ditch, which is something he didn't expect. Perhaps, no one would have thought of this. said immediately: "Then send someone to publish this matter on Tang Feng." It is also necessary to let the whole world know that His Majesty the Emperor did not give up in the face of the great drought, but was with the people of the Tang Dynasty to build water conservancy. ”

"That's right, the drought isn't just Guanzhong. The same is true in Hebei and other places, only by spreading the news of His Majesty can everyone in the world understand that even His Majesty personally went to work in the fields, why those adults and generals can't do it. Eldest Sun Wuji snorted coldly. said: "There are also those families, who say on weekdays that there are traitors in the court, and they want Your Majesty to fast and pray for rain and punish traitors, only in this way can God feel Your Majesty's sincerity and make it rain." I'm bah, who is a traitor, I think those big clans just can't get used to the fact that today's Wude Hall ministers don't have children from the Kanto family, so they will be like this, hum, just like that, they also want to become a member of the Wude Palace? ”

Today's Wude Hall does not have members of the Kanto family, although in the imperial court, there are also ministers from the Eastern family, but in the end there is no Wude Hall scholar to be prominent, those people said at this time that there are traitors in the court, in fact, they want to take the opportunity to let the people of the Kanto family enter the court, at least to occupy half of the position in the court.

"Damn." Wei Yuancheng's face was stunned, and suddenly it dawned on him, think about it carefully, it's really true, these Kwantung families have the so-called traitorous ministers in the court, they don't dare to deal with Li Xin, so they will deal with these ministers, and target several ministers of the Wude Palace, with the increasing power of the Wude Hall over the years, the Zhongshu Order, Shangshu Ling, etc. left by the previous dynasty have been replaced by the Wude Palace, and the Wude Hall scholars have replaced Li Xin to deal with the major affairs of the court, and the Wude Hall scholars have great power, full of temptation, However, because of the last time to join the Tang Dynasty in the Kanto region, there is a fixed number of positions for the scholars of the Wude Temple, or seven people, or five people, there is no position for the Kanto family at all, and only recently, the Kanto family has found an opportunity, how can these family families give up?

"When I go back, I will also let my family go to the fields together to build water conservancy, even His Majesty has already gone to the fields himself, and we people can't lag behind!" Wei Yuancheng's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and said: "Everyone, you can't let those guys in Kanto laugh, these years, we rely on Your Majesty's trust, the Wude Hall in the middle of the court or Guanzhong, or the Jiangnan family, and now there is still a place in the Wude Palace, originally His Majesty was going to give it to the Kanto family, but now it seems that the appetite of the Kanto family is too big, and one place is probably not enough, they have taken a fancy to more places." ”

In the main hall, everyone was stunned, and they had to admit that what Wei Yuancheng said made some sense, and this matter was related to the struggle for everyone's rights and positions. Even Du Ruhui was calm for a while. He is the first minister, according to reason, the first person to be blamed for this matter is himself, that is, Li Xin, who doesn't believe these rumors at all, so he will save himself, and now these Kanto families are obviously unwilling.

Are they against Lee Shin? No, they are just talking about one thing, but this thing was done in ancient times, any natural and man-made disasters will not be done against the emperor, but against the prime minister.

"Is that really what the Kanto family thinks? Now that even a child of the Kanto family has not entered the Martial Arts Hall, do you still want a second Martial Arts Hall scholar? Du Ruhui could only shake his head, this kind of thing could never happen to Li Xin, and even, he felt that the position of the remaining martial arts hall scholars was not the turn of the Kanto family.
