Xiao He's expression also changed, Ji Changge was like this...... Is it to ask for the lives of the people?

"Ji Changge, do you know what the crime of bullying will be?" Mu Churan's voice was full of heavy threat.

"Behead the public." Ji Changge's expression was pale.

"Then please don't talk nonsense!" Regarding the fact that someone denied his policy and ordered the officials to govern Qingming, Mu Churan was obviously very angry, and his eyes shot like knives.

"Your Majesty, it's not a pity that Ji Changge died alone. But your thousands of people, do you really bear to ignore them in the midst of fire and water? Chen's hometown is in Yunjing, and there is only a small Baidu City away from Langjiang. In the past ten years, although the first five years were flooded, but the minister's hometown had not been affected by the flooding before, but in the sixth year, the situation got worse year by year, and in the seventh year, perhaps God had mercy, and after a year of peace, but the last three years it worsened every year. In the ninth year, that is, last year, the courtier's sister was accidentally swept away by a sudden flood when she went out to play, and she was not found again. Fourth, fifth, and eighty-three years are afraid that the scale is not huge, and they were intercepted by relevant officials and lied about the wind and rain, although these three years are not so serious, hundreds of thousands of people have starved to death. Regardless of whether the minister is in public or private, it is really heartbroken, at this time, it is like a fish in the throat, not vomiting or unhappy, even if His Majesty wants the minister to die, the minister will never complain. ”

Ji Changge's always steady voice was also trembling at the moment. What he said in his mouth was like a handful of Lifu, which forcibly split the emperor's rule of Qingming.

Mu Churan didn't speak, just stared at Ji Changge, and Xiao He on the side only felt that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Mu Churan suddenly pulled out the long sword on Ji Changge's waist and looked at it carefully. Just as a true literati has always cherished their feathers, a true soldier has never cherished his weapons. For military attachés, the long sword is honor, identity, and self-esteem, and Ji Changge's sword is afraid that even if it is placed in the box, it will still make Longquan sound at night, which shows how carefully the master maintains it.

And at this moment, the long sword rested on the neck of his master.

It was not unreasonable for Mu Churan to want to kill him. What emperor doesn't value the face of his son of heaven? What emperor would endure such a straightforward tear apart of the rule of his own officials? The few people in front of him are all smart people, and smart people don't talk nonsense. So to solve all this and protect your face, you just need to kill the person in front of you who is talking nonsense.

Xiao He was very anxious when he saw that the two Shangshu were silent.

Ji Changge's own expression was faint, and he died peacefully.

"Your Majesty used the Izumo Sword to end the minister's three-foot life, which is the minister's honor." There was a faint smile on his lips, but his eyebrows were still unwilling.

"I just ask Your Majesty to listen to the words of Weichen, build a long causeway, and build a river weir. Wechen is willing to build a dam with his body. ”

Obviously, Xiao He could hear every word in Ji Changge's mouth clearly, but at this moment, Xiao He inexplicably felt that the timbre of Guangling landscape was like a bell for dynastic reform.

As soon as Ji Changge's words came out, even the two Shangshu who were watching coldly were moved.

Catching a glimpse of Mu Churan's expression changing slightly, Xiao He knelt down at the right time to plead.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry, although what General Ji said is tragic, whether it is true or not remains to be verified. The top priority is to solve the flood, and I implore Your Majesty to build a long causeway, build a river weir, and establish a hundred years of health and well-being for the people! ”

Xiao He threw away all embellishments, and seized the time to draw the key points in a few words and point out the key points.

The two Shangshu also knelt down, "The minister implores Your Majesty to build a long causeway and build a river weir!" ”

Mu Churan's face softened slightly, and he didn't pay attention to the courtiers who knelt down behind him. I went to look at the Langjiang River again. At this time, the Langjiang River is gentle and calm, where is there half a bit of danger as Ji Changge said? But who can count how many people's bones have been devoured under the immensity of calm waters?

The Izumo sword had already scratched blood marks on Ji Changge's neck, and red blood beads flowed down his skinny bones, kissing his shoulder blades.

Ji Changge had closed his eyes.

I only heard a "bang", and the Izumo sword was abandoned by Ji Changge's side. Xiao He finally felt that the breathless depression was gone.

"Ji Aiqing's sword, it's good." Mu Churan said word by word, the thought of the king has always been a real thought of life and a thought of death.

"When you return from this trip to the south, let's check it out. Lynn, how much money do we need to allocate to our treasury to build a dam? Li Zhaoting, how much silver can the treasury allot? They all went back to plan clearly, and when they returned to the imperial capital five days later, they went back and forth. ”

"Obey the order!"

Mu Churan didn't say a word, the four courtiers behind him all knelt at his feet, and he looked into the distance again. The difference is that this time he did not look at Langjiang, who was on the cusp of the conversation just now, but at the boundless sky with clouds, and the afterglow was like King Kong's forty-eight broken umbrella slowly retracted, and the night was coming.

There are no stars and no moon on this night, and only this high ship on the Langjiang River is brightly lit. The night can always magnify the danger several times, and the majestic dragon boat in the daytime has a vague sense of not knowing where to sail at this moment.

The second day was September 16, and the dragon boat arrived in Jiuzhou in the afternoon of this day.

In Jiuzhou in September, the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle.

Langjiang seems to be particularly favored here, the long river water is deep into a bend here, look carefully at the map, you will feel like the tail of the eyes of a beautiful woman, the desire is endless, looking forward to the brilliance. Therefore, the lake here has a nice name - Beauty Tip, the lotus flowers here bloom late, and the defeat is also late, and Jiuzhou is the best in September.

At this time, the royal dragon boat is slowly moored on the tip of this beauty, and the lotus flowers in the right place are full.

Mu Churan listened to the slight dew drops in his ears, smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers, and felt that although it was different from the imperial capital, it was very wonderful.

Looking at his sister again, Mu Qingwan happily played with the lotus canopy and lotus flowers presented by the palace maid, and personally held a blue and white deep plate, filled with water, and floated the hibiscus into it one by one, having a lot of fun.

The Queen Mother Leng Qingchen leaned on a windy place, half-closed eyes looking at a pool of lotus leaves, although there is a wide Yichun Lake in the palace, but due to the seasonal reasons, it is rare to smell such a large and pure lotus fragrance.

Tomorrow is the princess's seventeenth birthday, and the schedule is very simple, as if she is preparing for tomorrow's feast.

After Ji Changge arrived in Jiuzhou, he was busier than in the imperial capital, and there were too many things that needed to be arranged, but everything was carried out in an orderly manner under his management arrangement.

Xiao He didn't bother him, he himself had been called by Mu Churan to accompany him in recent days. He is obviously not his eunuch, palace maid or guard, just call himself to talk about court affairs, even have to call himself to accompany him for a meal, he sits and eats, Xiao He stands and watches, every time at this time Xiao He wants to roll his eyes, or a silver needle pierces it, the kind that is impartial to the center.

If Mu Qingwan was also there, Xiao He would still have to brace himself to deal with this unruly princess. It turns out that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, which is such a hard work.

Finally in the evening, Xiao He was glad that he could finally say "Weichen retires".

On the way back to the Boat Pavilion, Xiao He saw the blue lotus leaves on the tip of the beauty, and most of the fatigue of the day was relieved. I have heard that the lotus flowers in Jiuzhou are beautiful and the lotus is fragrant, but I haven't seen it well.

Thinking like this, Xiao He got off the dragon boat and walked slowly along the riverbank of the beauty tip. The nerves that had been tense in front of Mu Churan all day finally relaxed at this moment. Inadvertently, she saw a lotus flower in her hand that was blooming just right, so she reached out to pick it. Lotus leaf field, birds and beasts and songs. She didn't notice a white figure behind her.

Someone behind her took advantage of her unpreparedness to push vigorously, Xiao He hurriedly dropped the lotus flower in his hand, and before he even had time to shout for help, he fell into the extremely cool lake water of the beauty at night.

The lotus flower fell on the shore of the lake, was trampled on a few times, and the delicate and feminine appearance was no longer there.

Xiao He didn't know how to swim, so he was sinking down vigorously at the moment, and after drinking a few sips of lake water in September, his whole throat was choked with pain. She grabbed the thick stems of a few lotus leaves, but fortunately, the lotus flowers here are dense, and the roots are as deep as the silt at the bottom of the lake. Silt? Xiao He began to be scared after a series of associations - since this place is full of lotus flowers, the bottom of the lake must be full of silt, and if he falls there, he will really be unable to fly.

He had never been so afraid of being alone for a moment as he was now. If you die here, all grievances and hatred will really end. Years later, people will only find one more skeleton here, and they don't know who her name is; If it were worse, no one would even know that there was a skeleton here.

Xiao He began to use his remaining strength to climb the lotus stem to the surface of the lake, but the lotus stem was weak and easy to break, even if he grabbed a handful in his hand, it was still broken several times. Xiao He's heart was like a boat that had leaked to the bottom, sinking to the bottom of a deep valley.

Her strength was not half of her strength in the lake, and her consciousness was constantly flowing like life, and just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly heard someone call her.

Is it the father? Or mother? Are you coming to pick me up?

The lotus stem in Xiao He's hand loosened little by little.

On the shore of the lake where the beauty is tip, suddenly a small lotus leaf is upside down, and there is a lotus flower that has been trampled on next to the shore. Occasionally, people passing by don't care, because lotus flowers are the most common here.

Only one person came over and picked it up.

"It's a pity, what a beautiful flower".

The person who came was dressed in white, refreshing and handsome, and took a folding fan, and the lotus on the fan was also a lotus leaf field, which was very suitable for the scene with the blue leaf lotus of this pool of beauty.

Mu Churan sat on the dragon boat for half a day since the afternoon, although he left the imperial capital, but he was naturally sloppy about the affairs of the court, so before the dragon boat set sail, he ordered several old ministers who stayed in the imperial capital to sort out the urgent twists and turns, and then sent the post man on the water to drive a special fast boat to deliver. This kind of fast boat is small and sturdy, and it is lighter and more agile than the larger dragon boat, and can travel thousands of miles in a day without strong wind and waves.
