Chapter 247: The Minister of the Imperial Mission
Spring is not old, and the wind is thin and willow is oblique.
Try to see it on the transcendent stage, half a trench spring water and a city of flowers.
Smoke and rain are dark.
It has been drizzling in the capital for half a month.
Tang Yanning stood on the star-picking tower, looked at the capital under the rain curtain, and sighed.
Lin Su'e was also there, and it had been raining and stuffy at home, so Huaisheng proposed to take her to the Star Picking Tower to see the scenery in the rain.
Sure enough, he stood high and saw far.
From this floor, you can see the busy pedestrians on the streets, the stagnant water on the pavement, and the houses that are lined up with sections.
Lin Su'e didn't have any Wenhua, and she couldn't feel the sour poems of her younger siblings, so she only said that the scenery was good, if only she could still play horse hanging.
Staying at home every day was boring, Lin Su'e learned to play a horse crane somewhere, and when she came back, she pulled Tang Yanning to beat every day, and Tang Yanning was taught by her.
Gu Huaien didn't come with them, and stayed at home to tease the birds.
He said that this kind of poetic play of appreciating the wind and rain was not suitable for him, and he was not interested.
A few people were talking, and suddenly a little guy hurriedly knocked on the door, it was the little guy next to the eldest brother, saying that someone was coming to the palace, and asked the second master to go back quickly.
Gu Huaisheng was puzzled for a moment, but he didn't delay, and the three of them hurried back.
As soon as he saw Huaisheng coming back, Gu Huaien got up and walked over with relief.
It happened that they were all out today, and he was alone at home to spend time, and he was teasing the birds, when suddenly a slightly sharp and penetrating voice came from the door.
"The holy decree has arrived, and the Hanlin Academy has revised Gu Ze to receive the decree."
When this holy decree arrived, Gu Huaien was scared, and he hurriedly ran to the door to welcome people in, and then sent the little servant to pick up the star tower to invite the second master.
It is said that the father-in-law in the palace should not look at the official position as low, but the most important thing to offend is because they are close ministers of the Son of Heaven.
When Gu Huaien saw the people in the palace for the first time, he was worried in his heart, and he waited carefully, and then said after thinking about what he said, for fear that he would not do something in place and make others unhappy, and it was Huaisheng who was embarrassed in the end.
Fortunately, the father-in-law was easy to talk to, and he chatted with him with a kind attitude.
Rao is like this, Gu Huaien still feels nervous.
He hurriedly led his younger brother to introduce him, saying that this was Gonggong Wu in the palace, and handed over the work of greeting to his younger brother.
When Gonggong Wu saw Gu Huaisheng come in, he also got up, walked a few steps forward with a gentle attitude, and after being polite to Gu Huaisheng, he explained his intention.
As soon as they heard that a holy decree had been issued, the group hurriedly knelt down.
Gonggong Wu cleared his throat and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict ......"
Tang Yanning listened, and couldn't help but show a trace of worry on his face.
After Gonggong Wu finished reading, he closed the holy decree, handed it over with both hands, and said gently: "Gu Xiu, take the decree." ”
Gu Huaisheng raised his hands respectfully and took the holy decree, "Thank you, Lord Longen, Weichen will definitely do his best to share the worries of the saint in this trip." ”
Then he got up and thanked Gonggong Wu calmly.
Gonggong Wu asked with a smile, "When will Gu Xiu leave?" ”
Gu Huaisheng said: "Just tomorrow, the specific situation of Qingcheng County is unknown, it is better to set off early, understand the situation earlier, and be prepared." ”
Gonggong Wu complimented Gu Huaisheng with a smile and said goodbye.
As soon as Gonggong Wu left, Gu Huaien immediately couldn't help but speak, "Huaisheng, what's going on, you are just a small Hanlin Yuan cultivator, how can you be the minister of the Qin Mission?" ”
Just now, Gonggong Wu said in his holy decree that Gu Huaisheng is the only champion in the third yuan this year, and he is talented. Baiyue
So this year's Qingcheng County inspectors, several ministers had a unified opinion and unanimously recommended Gu Huaisheng, saying that it was to give newcomers a chance to practice.
Gu Huaien was puzzled, how long had it been since Huaisheng first entered the Hanlin Academy, even if he had to go through the training, it was impossible to directly serve as the minister of the Imperial Mission? Why did such an errand fall on him?
He vaguely felt that this trip was definitely not as light as the holy decree said.
Gu Huaisheng gave his brother a reassuring look, "The holy decree has been issued, I can't refuse, don't worry about it, eldest brother doesn't have to worry, it's just a routine inspection, maybe I can go back in a month." ”
Because the fine scale river is the only big river flowing north and south in the Great Wei Dynasty, it starts from Dongyi Mountain in Wulian City in the north, and enters the Manghe River in Sikou in the south, winding for hundreds of miles, passing through Quyi, Hanxian, Lucheng, Pinggu and other places along the way, and is the main channel of water traffic between the north and the south.
Therefore, every year during the rainy season, it is necessary to go to the routine inspection to prevent the riverbed from rising and flooding.
Every minister comes back after a routine lap, and he can be rewarded afterwards, which seems to be an extremely easy one.
He was relieved, Gu Huaien sighed and told him to go back and pack up quickly, he will leave early tomorrow morning, and rest early today.
Gu Huaisheng responded gently, led Tang Yanning away, and left Gu Huaien to talk to Lin Su'e who was a little worried in the back.
As soon as he arrived in the room, Tang Yanning's sad face could no longer be hidden.
Gu Huaisheng gently took her hand and sat down, and said, "Don't worry, haven't you already reminded me?" I ordered Qifeng and others to observe it first, don't worry, at least I have been a little prepared, not suddenly. ”
About a month ago, when the rainy season had just begun, Tang Yanning mentioned to Huaisheng that this year's rainy season would be extraordinarily long, especially the fine scale river in Qingcheng County that needed to be guarded against.
Gu Huaisheng looked at his wife in surprise at that time.
Qingcheng County is an important hub, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
When he was walking as a Qishan monk, he accidentally bumped into the perfunctory inspection of the minister.
So he actually had a faint concern about this, and was about to send someone to investigate, but unexpectedly, A-Ning mentioned it first.
He knew that there was a lot of things about her that he didn't know.
So I didn't bother, and sent someone to investigate quietly, telling you to be careful.
Tang Yanning was still not at ease, grabbed his hand and said, "However, I'm still worried, why is it you, there are so many people in the imperial court, why is it you?" ”
She muttered.
In her previous life, she lived in seclusion in the deep courtyard, and she didn't know much about the Fine Scale River, but she only knew that the minister sent there that time was called Lu Ming, who was recommended by His Royal Highness King Liang.
Lu Ming was also routine, and when he came back, he reported that everything was normal, but after he came back, he heard that Qingcheng County had been raining heavily for half a month, and the river was rising, flooding the surrounding houses and crops, and drowning many people.
And the minister was negligent in his duties, and finally beheaded all the door.
Because that person was recommended by King Liang, in the end, King Liang was also implicated in this matter, deprived of part of his rights, and then confined to the palace for a year.
After all, there are so many lives, and the emperor can't protect them if he wants to.
Suddenly fell when the righteous saint was in the middle of his life, and King Liang showed signs of defeat after that.
She reminded Huaisheng to think about whether he could plan ahead, arrange, reduce disasters, and save the lives of those people.
Because of that time when the river rose, I heard that at least 5,000 people drowned.
Five thousand lives.
Reborn in a lifetime, she knew some opportunities, and she must do something for those who died in vain in her previous life.
It's just that she originally wanted Huaisheng to tell King Rui and let His Highness send someone to govern it, but somehow, this matter fell on Huaisheng's head.
This water treatment is a great achievement, and if the governance is not good, it may be a full house.
Gu Huaisheng was just about to open his mouth to explain, when a silent voice came from outside the door, "Master, there are people outside who want to see you." ”
He had no choice but to take her hand, patted her comfortingly, and when I came back to explain to you, he got up and went to Chaoyang Hall first.
