Chapter 120 Playing in the court
Shun Yu thought for a while: "Presumably, the imperial court is also sparing no effort to catch him!" He is very bold, and he also brings hundreds of grandioses, such a big battle, it is too ostentatious. Aren't you afraid of meeting the generals of the sea defense? Thinking about it, I was worried: "Cousin still listens to my advice......... “
Qin Yanhong interrupted her with a smile: "Cousin, you spend all day in the Guozijian, ignoring the affairs outside the window, and only reading the books of sages. It's impossible to imagine how terrifying his abilities are, but you don't need to know that he only came to pick up a woman this time, and maybe never to return. “
"A woman?" Shun Yu was a little curious.
Qin Yanhong said mysteriously: "Wang Lianzhi, the most popular official prostitute in the Teaching Division, spent a sky-high price to settle down for her Teaching Division. He suddenly pouted not far away: "Cousin has a blessed eye, look at that." ”
Shun Yu looked curiously, I don't know when a carriage was parked in front of the door, precious teak, but see the wheel pattern flowers, carved leather, green canopy top four corners along the tethered tassels, but also mention the gold and silver beads and shells staggered compartment, the curtains are also unique, embroidered phoenix wearing peony pattern, at this time by the shallot-like fingertips lifted up half, a stunning woman showed her side face, washed away the lead Hua only light makeup, but still feel a hundred charms.
She stared at a certain place by mistake, Shun Yu looked at it, it was the back of a man wearing a pale blue moire brocade shirt, he couldn't see his age, his back was straight, he stood with his hands behind his back, and Qin Lin spoke to him with a humble face. Shun Yu noticed that someone was looking at her, and when she turned her head, it was Wang Lianzhi, and she didn't know when she was measuring her.
Shun Yu was a little surprised, and when his eyes met, he realized that the two of them were quite similar, as if they were like spring eyebrows.
At this moment, the man suddenly turned in the direction of her, Shun Yu didn't wait to look carefully, and for a moment, he was violently bound into his arms by Qin Yanhong.
"Yikes! What is this to do, cousin. Shun Yu exclaimed in a low voice, before he could struggle, he had been let go, Qin Yanhong smiled and sighed: "I'm leaving, how about hugging you?" ”
Shun Yu punched him the shoulder, pursed his lips and smiled, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the man, he had walked to the carriage, his clothes were in the wind, and Rin stepped on the back of the attendant's shoulder and entered the palace, the bright red curtain swayed, and Wang Lianzhi hid behind him.
Tian Yu? It's also surnamed Tian! Shun Yu didn't know why, there was some regret in his heart, because he hadn't seen his face clearly, but when he thought about it, he felt funny, such a sea overlord, shuttling through the heavily guarded capital, how could he use his real name, he just called casually!
But seeing that the wheels of the carriage were turning, and the coachman's whip was "snapping" in the air, he was leaving!
The vehicles that occupied half the street behind also moved slowly, gradually moving away, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
................................
Fengtian Temple, early dynasty.
This time was very different from usual, although the emperor was still sick, his spirit was much better, and he was sitting on the dragon chair with a yellow satin flat gold dragon mattress.
Prince Zhu Yu lowered his hand and stood beside the dragon chair.
The authority of the emperor, as long as he sits, will never allow others to sit, not even the crown prince.
Ding Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is giving good news: "In previous years, when the rainy season was approaching in June, the Yellow River burst and flooded endlessly, which caused depression in Shenzhou and devastation of life. This time by the ministry to elect the right to the imperial envoy Shun Yanzhao, go to the governor's river, to repair the four embankments, the method of water flushing sand, has now been to the middle of July, although the torrential rain continues, the Yellow River roars, the bank is always safe and sound, the water has not leaked, to avoid the trouble of collapse. ”
"You can list the methods he uses in detail." Emperor Long Yan was delighted, and became interested.
Ding Shangshu came prepared and talked eloquently: "Looking at the volume of the Qin imperial envoy, he adhered to the principle of plugging the breach to save the river, building an embankment to break down, recovering the lock dam to prevent the outer river, and creating a rolling dam to build the embankment of Gaojiayan for more than 60 miles, Guiren Ji embankment for more than 40 miles, Liupu Bay embankment and other breaches for 140 miles, built more than 56,000 zhang of remote embankments on both sides of Xuhuai, more than 140 miles of embankments, built four stone dams to reduce water, and renovated and strengthened countless old dams. In addition to the unfinished embankment, the imperial court allocated millions and more than one million. ”
He paused, and continued: "The construction of the embankment and dam are all carried out by masons and young river workers for more than ten years, and the materials used must be real soil without miscellaneous floating sand, and the stones of the repeated slurry blocks are high and thick, and then the embankment is inspected one by one with a tape conical iron cylinder or iron rod, until the water does not overflow, and the embankment is compacted. ”
The emperor listened attentively, and sneered for a long time: "If the Xingyang River embankment, which cost tens of millions of silver in winter, can be so refined, how can it be cracked in only five months?" ”
Although Xu Bingyong is more than half a hundred years old, he stands upright, hearing this, although his face is not shocked, but he looks at the master of ceremonies, and when he was forced to enter the ceremonial supervisor, how did the emperor know?
Seeing that Father-in-law Sha was also full of doubts, he took a look at Ding Shangshu, and his eyes looked gloomy and fierce.
The emperor asked Shen Zetang in a deep voice: "Shen Shangshu, who was the governor of Xingyang River a year ago?" ”
Shen Zetang took a step forward and calmly replied: "It was Xu Zhengong, the squire of the military department, who voluntarily asked for his life. ”
The emperor asked him to retreat, and turned his eyes coldly to sweep Zhou Chen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Yang Yan, the Qing of Dali Temple, and the right imperial Shi Gaoda of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, back and forth, and asked sharply: "Don't you know about the winter embankment cracking case?" ”
Zhou Chen was sweating profusely, and said: "Our department is in charge of reviewing the criminal cases submitted by various places, and we have indeed not received the case files of the winter embankment cracking, if it is caused by the negligence of the subordinate officials, we will sue for severe punishment." ”
Yang Yan and Gouda seconded.
"Don't you know, prince?" The emperor glanced sideways at Zhu Yu, swept his expression and sneered: "The country will be with you, and it will be over in three or five years!" ”
Zhu Yu stiffened, his face turned pale instantly, his eyes showed panic, and he wanted to defend himself, but he was stopped by the emperor and shut up, and asked Ding Shangshu instead, where is Xu Zhengong, the squire of the military department, now?
Ding Shangshu was a little hesitant, who didn't know that Xu Zhengong was Xu Bingyong's nephew, and it was more wrong to say more at this time, and it was most appropriate for Mingzhe to protect himself.
Xu Bingyong took a step forward decisively, lifted his scarlet robe and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I implore Rong Weichen to play." ”
The Emperor allowed to play.
Xu Bingyong said in a deep voice: "Xu Zhengong is indeed my nephew, he is straightforward and reckless by nature, and he asked for orders to control the Yellow River a few years ago to repay Chaoyan." Weichen knew how difficult it was to govern the river, and repeated persuasions were fruitless, so he had to go with him. In the winter, the matter of the crack of the embankment was not seen by the local officials, so it was only regarded as a gossip about good things, and it was not enough to be believed. Now the emperor is cautious, Weichen asked the criminal department to thoroughly investigate the case, if it is indeed Xu Zhengong who is greedy for ink, he will follow the laws of our dynasty, and the crime will be increased by one degree, and severe punishment will not be granted. ”
The emperor Mo Shaoqing, and ordered: "This case will be handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jointly investigate and try, and Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and Ding Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry will supervise and supervise, and the results must be released within a month. ”
