Chapter 674: Worry
Seeing that the emperor's expression continued to be low, Gonggong Li, who had served him for many years, knew that the current saint was angry, and he was angry, and he might have his own thoughts.
He quietly moved his body backwards, and found that the inscription on the recital that the emperor had read was written on the name of an official he had never heard before, and he was thanked for the New Year by the order of Suizhou County.
Gonggong Li knew that Suizhou was just a remote state capital, and he might not be able to go to the recital a few times a year, so why did he suddenly write the recital, and he came to the emperor's table without passing through him, there must be something in it.
"Humph!" The Emperor slapped the table suddenly, but still feeling unrelieved, he threw a cushion next to him into the distance.
Gonggong Li hurriedly got up and said with sincere fear, "Your Majesty, is it that the slave has done something wrong, don't be angry, if you are angry, the old slave's sin will be great!" ”
After so many years, Gonggong Li has almost only experienced such a big temper from the emperor a few times, and as soon as he finished speaking, the emperor stood up and almost smashed whatever he saw in the room.
"A bunch of waste, a bunch of insatiable guys, I've turned a blind eye, and I still want to do something to my people!"
As he spoke, the emperor suddenly began to cough, Gonggong Li hurriedly stepped forward and patted the emperor's back, the emperor sat down again with the help of Gonggong Li, looking at the twists and turns in front of him, he only felt that he couldn't go up or down.
"Your Majesty, what do you have to say, you can tell the minions, no matter how bad it is, there are still so many civil and military ministers, don't be angry with your body." Gonggong Li's years of experience told him that it was definitely the content written on the fold that made the emperor so angry, and while he appeased the emperor, he was also very curious about what was written on it.
The emperor slowed down, and after a long while, he finally raised his head and said to Gonggong Li, "Pass on the prime minister, the imperial history of the Supervision Yuan ......"
said a lot of names in one breath, and Gonggong Li's super memory quickly wrote it down, and then he even climbed to his old waist and went outside to deliver the message.
He clearly knew that this morning must be an extraordinary night, and he also knew that today's incident would definitely cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, and for many years, he had not seen His Majesty so angry, and he had not seen His Majesty summon so many officials overnight.
That night, there were officials entering the palace constantly, these people came in a hurry, none of them knew what was going on, but none of them were easy to deal with, they all cheered up, they knew that the emperor summoned me at night, it seems that there is really something wrong.
And that night, on the construction site of a dam in Jingzhou, people sent by Zou Shiyan also mixed into the team building the dam.
The wages are indeed high, but they are also exhausting.
Everyone needs to keep their mouths shut about what is going on here, and they are only allowed to enter and not to go out.
After a tired day, everyone sat together and chatted, most of them were ordinary people in the nearby state capital, and they still couldn't make money through other means, so they could basically only sell coolies here.
"Well, when will this levee be built? I've been away from home for over three months! "It was a half-sized man who spoke, not tall, but I heard that he was sixteen years old, and he looked skinny, and he didn't know how he was recruited.
"Knife, what else do you want to go home, your parents are gone!" A man next to him said.
"What's that, although my parents are gone, I have a younger sister at my aunt's house, and I want to earn a dowry for her!" The young man called the knife said unhappily.
This sentence amused the other ladies who were from poor backgrounds and had no dowry to speak of, but the wish of the knife was good, and they also wanted to leave early.
"Who doesn't know that in the recent period, the overseer has no money, and the money that has just come down has been taken by the people above to lend usury, we don't have enough food to eat, whoever comes to work for them, the progress will definitely slow down, not to mention, they can't let us out, if, for a while, we can't get out." The person who spoke had almost accepted his fate, and his tone was very dejected.
"Alas, it's useless for us to think about it now, what I regret the most is that I came here."
"You said that you, so young and in good shape, you can go to the dock to carry goods, why did you come to Jingzhou to build a dam?" An older man looked at a man in the corner not far away and said, the muscles on this person's body can be clearly seen, and at a glance he knows that he is a good worker, who just came to them yesterday, and after being seen by the overseer, he said that he came in.
They know very well that the overseer is the kind of person who sees that he is in good shape and should be able to do hard work, so he will envelop people here, and he should have said a lot of promises, but basically it is impossible to achieve them.
The person in the corner nodded solemnly, "They say that the wages here are high, and they have enough to eat, I have a lot of strength, but I can eat a lot, so I came!" "The man in the corner spoke sullenly, and at first glance he looked like the one who only had a body but not a mind.
Several people next to him also sighed helplessly, they knew that this was also a tricked in.
"Can't we get out once we come in?" The man asked again.
"It's not that you can't get out, it's just that this embankment can't be built in a year or two!"
"Why can't you finish it?"
"Because the people above want to use the embankment to constantly ask the court for money, once it is quickly built, then what money do they have to take? It's all a word for money! ”
Inside the migrant worker room, a group of people sat together, the new migrant workers in the corner bowed their heads in contemplation, and the others revealed an air of despair.
Not far from the migrant workers' house is the residence of the overseer.
In the dark night, a figure shuttled quickly, and soon entered the supervisor's room from the migrant workers' room, all of which no one noticed, because the troops here were all on the periphery of the embankment to prevent the migrant workers from escaping, but the inside was very loose, and there was almost no one to supervise it.
Suizhou, Tang family.
Tang Chu was in a daze in the study, and Zou Shiyan came over with a tray and a few snacks on it.
"Chu'er, why haven't you slept yet?" Zou Shiyan said softly.
"Haven't you slept yet?" Tang Chu asked with a smile, and then took the dim sum handed over by Zou Shiyan very naturally, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"I'm worried about tonight's events, and I don't know what's going on in the capital, let alone what's going on in Jingzhou?" Tang Chu said sadly.
"Don't worry, thinking about this now will only make you anxious, it's better to have a good rest, no accident, there should be a tough battle to fight in the next two days." Zou Shiyan persuaded.
