Text Chapter 101 The world is prosperous
Xiao He closed his eyes and quietly described in his mind the demeanor and demeanor of those Wanhualou girls.
She imagined that she was using her body as a weapon, in the red world, with the most humble means and the cheapest smile to please one strange man after another, just to let herself live.
In this way, there is a sense of sadness and vicissitudes in my heart.
When she opened her eyes again, she turned around, gestured again, smiled and smiled, all a little more charming than she had on weekdays, and for a while she made Xiao Shi, who was at the door, look stupid.
Xiao He's intelligence is beyond his imagination, although her movements are still a little stiff, but she already has Shen Yun, with a little practice and some dressing, she will definitely be able to scare those who have never seen the jade-faced rakshasa before. That's all there is to it.
Xiao He walked lightly and walked in front of Xiao Shi.
She cocked her tail finger and asked him, "How?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the man turned around and began to walk back, gradually looking like him.
Xiao Shi stretched out his hand and patted her buttocks, "Practice a few more times, in the middle of next month, that businessman will come to the imperial capital to do business, and I will notify you when the time comes." Although the strength was not great, because she was now wearing a skirt with thin clothing, she deeply felt the warmth and a solid slap from his palm.
Xiao He turned around, flew to him, raised his hand and was about to return his slap, but Xiao Shi dodged it, but instead grabbed her wrist and leaned into her ear, "I've kissed my mouth, can't I touch my butt yet?" The tone was a little light, a little provocative.
Xiao He's face flushed, and he lowered his voice to justify: "At that time, it was a last resort, and it was just a crossing, how could it be considered a ......?"
Seeing her embarrassment, Xiao Shi pursed his lips and smiled, let go of his hand, and retreated to the door, "Remember that the person you pretended to be that day was a female devil who had been wandering the rivers and lakes all the year round and wandered among men, and she didn't care about men's occasional actions at all, let alone verbal and flirtatious." ”
Speaking of the word "flirtation", he paused deliberately, staring at Xiao He's expression, as if he was waiting and watching her reaction, and even more appreciative.
He has seen all kinds of people, many of them are wearing masks and living hypocritically, and Xiao He, although she is also living a false life, concealing her true identity, her eyes often reveal the most true temperament.
Love and hate are so clear, it is very pleasant to be her enemy or her friend.
However, he would prefer to be the latter.
If he could really break away from Qinglong Hall and let go of the identity of this killer, he would really like to stay by her side, if nothing else, just for the pure color in her eyes, which made people fascinated.
Xiao He took a deep breath, knowing that Xiao Shi's words made sense, but he was indeed teased by him, how could this qi go down in his heart, and glanced at the position he leaned on.
Xu changed into women's clothes, she had not let go of herself like this for a long time, and her little temperament also appeared for a while, she smiled slyly, reached out and closed the door, not only kicked out the person leaning against the door, but also clamped his arm, and the pain made him cry out immediately.
"It's called the Present World Newspaper!" Closing the door, Xiao He didn't forget to yell at the door.
Xiao Shi rubbed his arms outside the door, shook his head and walked away with a smile.
Hongzhu smiled secretly on the side, "Childe, do you want to continue practicing for a while, or do you want to change back to regular clothes?" ”
"Let's practice again next time, I'm really not used to wearing women's clothes." Xiao He also smiled.
At the beginning of March, a spring rain moistened the earth.
Qin Tianjian predicted that this year would be a great harvest year, and it was said that His Majesty was benevolent and blessed, and this year's sacrifice was just over, so this auspicious omen came out, and the war in the north of the country spread good news. For a time, civil officials in the DPRK and celebrities in the opposition also made some poems and songs, singing praises to Mu Churan.
In the early dynasties, some people sorted out such articles and poems and presented them to Mu Churan, asking him to see them in person.
Although everyone loves to listen to good words, especially when he is an emperor, but in the prosperous era of my dynasty, His Majesty is wise, and he will be able to say a lot of auspicious things such as Wujiang Chengfu and Sihai Shengping one day, and Mu Churan is tired of hearing it, so he handpicked Xiao He to talk about it.
After Xiao He came out of the ranks, he smiled indifferently and said, "The minister thinks that His Majesty is under the mandate of heaven to settle the world." Why? The people live and work in peace and contentment, and raise their children and grandchildren, for peace; Within the territory of the country, there is no more strife, it is for peace; Now the banner hunting, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition are waiting to be returned triumphantly, and the external troubles have been eliminated. Please ask Your Majesty to also be in danger in order to be placed in the position of being undefeated for thousands of years. ”
After a few words, the sycophants were not only filmed, but also the words were entered, and Xiao He was now more and more able to understand Mu Churan's thoughts.
This made him feel solemn in his heart, indeed, as soon as the external troubles are eliminated, the problem of internal worries should be considered in front of him. Previously, the floods in the Langjiang River plagued people's livelihood, which really gave Mu Churan a headache. Finally, some silver taels were squeezed out from Li Zhaoting, the head of the household department, to fill the pit left before the embankment repair project.
However, the repair of the embankment has not yet been completed, and the flood problem cannot be solved, and in a few months it will enter the rainy season in the Langjiang area, and I am afraid that there will be flooding again.
For a while, Mu Churan remembered that not long ago, he saw a fold that was put on the table by Liu Yuan, the Taishou of Huaxi County, which said that the Langjiang River has two sources, one of which is the Curb River, and the other is the Mijiang River, and the Mijiang River is the first major branch of the Langjiang River, and the water flow is so wide that if the water is used, it can irrigate thousands of miles of land. However, although the Mijiang River is located in Huaxi County, it is blocked by the mountains, the north is arid, and the south is flooded, so the people have worked together to dig a weir mouth, drill holes through the mountains, and divert the water of the Mijiang River to the north to divert the water source to solve the downstream floods.
Now that there have been initial results, it is only when the national strength is invited to support the after-effects.
If you start to dredge the waterlogging from the upper reaches of the Langjiang River, it is a good idea. It's just that the territory of West China is mountainous, and the north is high and the south is low, and to complete such a large project, it is true that the people of a county are only capable of supporting it.
Then Mu Churan ordered the Ministry of Industry to send officials who were well versed in the way of water conservancy to go to West China to assist Liu Yuan in opening the weir.
On this morning, the dynasty dispersed after the Ministry of Works' Shangshu Lynn's decree.
After retreating, Lynn followed behind Li Zhaoting and asked a little worriedly: "Lord Li, what do you mean by saying that the emperor ......?"
"What's the point, of course, it's to order you to spend more effort to control the water, and such a major event can't be delayed." Li Zhaoting smiled and responded.
"Naturally, naturally. Now that the emperor has asked him to send someone to West China to open a weir and control the water, I am afraid that once he goes, it will be difficult to come back. As if she had foreseen the thankless prospect of this errand, Lynn added: "I heard that West China has not been peaceful in recent years, and bandits are rampant. ”
"Don't worry about this, you tell the emperor and send some more troops to assist, but it also shows that you are sincerely doing errands for the emperor." Li Zhaoting nodded.
"Master Li has a point." Lynn had a humbly teachable expression.
Now most of the troops have been sent to Saibei, although the division has returned to the court, but the army is still on the way, and now to divide the troops to go to West China to control the water and guard the water, then you can only divide the troops of the imperial capital. Dividing the forces of the imperial capital, that is, directly dividing the forces guarding the Purple City, Mu Churan is the most direct in his hands and never hands over the military power to others, but I don't know if he will be willing to let go.
Li Zhaoting seems to be an unintentional point, but it has a slight meaning, it seems to be a suggestion, but in fact, this move is a temptation, to test whether this Mu Churan cares about the people or his imperial power.
Of course, he was not the one who came up with the idea, and Li Zhaoting was just contributing on behalf of others.
What he is most concerned about now is how to keep his glory and wealth, maintain his official authority, and join forces with some threatening forces if necessary. But after all, Li Zhaoting is a powerful minister, he knows that everything he has comes from Mu Churan, the emperor, and hopes that Mu Churan can rule the world peacefully.
If the world is in chaos, he will be boring as an official.
After Xiao He withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace, he entered the Jixian Hall and continued the errand of revising the history books.
Reading is certainly interesting, but staring at the book word by word, to do the editing and arrangement, such a thing will be done for a long time, and it will also produce some boring. The petty officials in the palace who are responsible for revising and sorting out the history books will also gossip in their spare time. For example, when they talked about the haunting of the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs today, Xiao He heard something meaningful.
"How can the Imperial Tomb be haunted?" Xiao He asked.
When the person who spoke heard that the questioner was Xiao He, he hated himself for being forgetful for a while, and his voice was a little louder, so that Xiao He, who was sitting at the other end, also heard it, so he had to respond nervously: "Lord Xiao forgives the sin, and the lower official lost his words for a while." ”
"It's okay, you can tell me about it, this is not the palace of diligence, so you don't need to worry too much." Xiao He comforted him.
The man saw that Xiao He didn't blame himself, so he was a little bolder, "Xia Guan also heard from others, it is said that a few days ago, a concubine in the palace died, and after being sent to the imperial tomb, it didn't take long for the haunting to happen. Several of the guards guarding the tomb were sick. Even the people passing by nearby were scared to death, and the matter was reported to Jingzhao Mansion. ”
He paused and continued, "But the new Fu Yin didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he sent someone to investigate, but if he didn't find anything, he didn't do it. It's just that this rumor spread ten, ten, and hundreds, and then it spread all of a sudden. I think it's just some foolish people. ”
After hearing this, Xiao He asked him meaningfully, "How do you know so clearly, as if you have seen it with your own eyes?" I don't blame you, I'm just a little curious and asking. ”
"It's not a secret, the new Fu Yin and his father knew each other, and they visited the cold house, and the lower officials accidentally heard them talk about it." He explained.
Xiao He also doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. If there were ghosts and gods, Mu Churan would have been unable to sit on the dragon chair for a long time.
It's just that she believes that everything has a result, there must be a cause, and the so-called ghosts are just dark ghosts born of suspicion.
There is nothing more terrible in this world than the human heart.
Therefore, the haunted thing, I am afraid that someone did it on purpose, so it was mysterious. What is the purpose of this back, and who is it, which makes Xiao He a little curious.
