141, the whimsy of the official family (2nd update)
The official family seemed to know about it: "Oh? It's all here? ”
"It's still two months before Halloween, what are you doing so early?"
The hundred officials coughed one after another to clear their throats.
It's not that you said that let people bring outstanding children into Beijing and choose heirs, then you can't be positive.
The official said: "What are they doing? ”
The people of Soshoji Temple replied truthfully, "Stay honest." ”
"Hmm...... the official touched the beard on his chin, "then stay for now." ”
When the people from Zongzheng Temple heard this, they hurriedly said: "The kings of Qin, Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Han all handed over the transcripts and asked His Majesty to summon them. ”
The official sighed: "What do you want to do when you see me?" Something? ”
Everyone knows that he is starting to pretend to be confused again.
The people of Zongzheng Temple were very speechless, but they couldn't scold the emperor, so they had to continue to answer: "It is a proper gift for the vassal king to enter Beijing and meet His Majesty. ”
The official waved his hand: "I'm very busy, such a big country has to be governed, and I don't have time to see them." ”
The people of Zongzheng Temple were anxious: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”
Official: "What kind of rules?" ”
Zongzheng Temple: "The rules of the past years, when the vassal king enters Beijing, His Majesty has to summon him, and ask about his fiefdom, people's livelihood and economy, and the vassal king also needs to greet His Majesty's well-being." ”
He was afraid that the official family would throw out some nonsense, so he preemptively said without waiting for him to react: "The person was called by His Majesty, and he came from afar in the wind and rain, Your Majesty must meet each other, they are all your brothers and nephews, don't chill the hearts of your relatives." ”
The official touched the beard on his chin and thought for a while: "Okay, go back and pick a day and ask them to enter the palace together." ”
The people of Zongzheng Temple breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes." ”
At the end of the court meeting, the official family specially asked Meng Jin to stay for a while.
The hundred officials handed Meng Jin abnormal eyes, some envious, some jealous, some curious, and some doubtful, and then exited the hall in turn.
When there are only two monarchs and ministers left in the palace.
The official asked: "You think of a way to find something to do for these sub-clansmen." ”
Meng Jin didn't know why: "Your Majesty, why is this?" ”
The official said: "Since you want to choose an heir, you must always choose a wise and capable one, so that you can inherit the unification in the future." But this group of princely royal clans usually live in their own fiefdoms, and I don't see them a few times throughout the year, how do I know which gourd is good and which is rotten. ”
Meng Jin suddenly said: "So Your Majesty wants to arrange some official affairs for them, take a good look, the character and talent of the children of the clan?" ”
Official: "That's the reason. ”
Meng Jin thought about it and said slowly: "Since it is for this purpose, then you have to ask for fairness, so many sect disciples, you have to find something big." ”
He thought for a moment and said, "Please give the minister a little time." ”
The official waved his hand: "Then give you a day and talk back tomorrow." ”
Meng Jin responded.
Coming out of the palace, it was raining again.
Since the Yellow River burst its banks and rushed into Bianjing, it has been rainy for several days in a row, and the refugees in Beijing have blocked the roads, and the health and security are being severely tested.
The refugees dragged their families with confused expressions on their faces, and occasionally kind-hearted people gave porridge and swarmed up.
Mengjin watched all the way, and when he returned to the Mengzhai in Longjin Bridge, his mood was extremely heavy.
"Alas......"
He kept sighing when he was changing clothes.
Meng Qingyun said: "Daddy, what's wrong?" ”
Meng Jin said: "At present, the disaster in Beijing is erosive, and the people are suffering. ”
Meng Qingyun said: "I think the situation is quite stable, although the price of grain outside has risen a lot, but the increase is stable, which shows that the government is in good control." ”
Meng Jin sat down and touched the teacup in his hand, but he didn't drink it, just silently distracted, and muttered, "What are you looking for......?"
Meng Qingyun took Asakusa and Bauhinia to take care of his official uniform, because it was raining outside, and the official uniform was also stained with mud on the way back, so he had to clean it carefully.
"What is Daddy thinking about?"
Meng Jin came back to his senses, thinking that his daughter was also smart and clever, and with the attitude that it would not hurt to chat casually, he conveyed the meaning of the official family's request to find something to do for the clans.
Meng Qingyun laughed: "Isn't there a ready-made one in front of you." ”
"Huh? What's up? ”
Meng Qingyun said: "Daddy just said that the disaster is erosive, and now half of the outer city is soaked in water, there are so many disaster victims in the city, someone has to take care of eating, drinking, and Lasa, right?" You want to control the flow of food, right? You want to maintain law and order, right? Do you want to prevent the epidemic? When the water recedes in the outer city, we have to verify the damage of the people, right? You have to rebuild the outer city, right? There must be silting up everywhere the flood passes, so you have to dig a lake through a canal, right? There's a lot going on."
"Ahh
Meng Jin slapped his thigh: "It's still my girl who is smart!" ”
Meng Qingyun covered his mouth and smiled.
So the next day, Meng Jin entered the palace and told the officials.
The official family made a decision on the spot, so they did it, and sent these children of the clan to various yamen, one person was in charge of one stall, one supplemented the manpower of each yamen, and the other was who could do and who was wasted, which was clear at a glance
On the third day, all the vassal clans who entered Beijing entered the palace to see His Majesty.
On the fourth day, the rain in the capital finally stopped.
And then the sun came out.
This day happened to be the first day, and on the first day of the ambush, the sun gave the people of Bianjing a fierce dismount.
The rain for days filled the streets and houses with damp moisture, and when the sun steamed them, they suddenly became steaming like a big steamer.
Such weather is the most likely to breed epidemics.
Meng Qingyun was explaining to Lu Yan and Wu Liu at home, buying more lime and vinegar, and preparing more medicinal materials at home, so the porter hurriedly came to tell him.
"His Royal Highness King Qi has come down!"
Meng Qingyun stood up suspiciously: "Daddy is on duty today, who is he looking for?" ”
Jiang Fang came to her.
"I'm here to catch the strong man."
The man sat on a rose chair, holding a teacup in his hand, and smiled cunningly.
Meng Qingyun wondered: "What kind of strong man to catch?" ”
Jiang Fang said: "Your father's idea to the official family is to control all the children of the clan in Beijing to the various yamen to assist in Bianjing's disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction affairs. ”
"I know that this is the official family's ability and character."
"The others are just carrying me too."
Meng Qingyun smiled: "Since all the children of the clan have been sent to work, then you, the king of Qi, naturally can't be alone, otherwise won't it seem that the official family has a special preference for you?" When the time comes, you'll be the target of public criticism. ”
Jiang Fang sighed: "Isn't it fragrant to eat, drink and have fun at home?" You have to let people go out to work in the sun. ”
Meng Qingyun said: "Where were you sent?" ”
Jiang Fang: "Ask me to work with the Ministry of Industry to manage the reconstruction of the North Outer City." ”
"So I'm here today to tell you in advance, go back and wait for the water to recede, and the dredging work in the North Outer City is completed, so you have to go with me to explore the terrain."
Meng Qingyun pointed to his nose: "Me? What's wrong with me? ”
Jiang Fang smiled: "Who made you rich." ”
