Chapter 118: Shen Huashan returns to Beijing
After an incident, Shen Ning knew that Ying Nantu had his own group of forces. However, why did it fall into such a dangerous situation in Anjing in the first place? In this regard, Shen Ning guessed that it might be because Ying Nantu had never been wary of Ying Gui.
died, the Five Princes' Mansion escaped, she also felt a little disappointed, she didn't expect that it would be so intense, after all, people are not as good as heaven.
Shen Ning's disappointment didn't last long, and soon, she became happy. Not only her, but the entire Shen family is also happy. Although he is still keeping filial piety for the Empress Dowager Ciyi, everyone in the Shen Mansion has a smile in their words and deeds. That's because Shen Huashan, the head of the Shen family, is about to return to Jingzhao!
After a year, Shen Huashan successfully managed the Taiqian River, connected the canal artery that was washed away by the flood, and restored the normal operation of the north-south canal, and he led Xu Youzhen and others to create this miraculous feat!
Now, with such a great work of water control, he is about to return to Jingzhao!
Shen Huashan had already sent a letter before, saying that he could return to Jingzhao on the Midyear Festival, and the work in front of the stage could be completely handed over before the Midyear Festival, which made the Shen family very happy. After receiving Shen Huashan's letter. Shen Yushi immediately instructed his subordinates to tidy up Shen Huashan's yard, the quilts and other beds were all dried, the furniture and utensils were wiped and wiped, and a lot of seasonal flowers and plants were added to the yard, everything was ready, just waiting for Shen Huashan to come back.
Shen Zejing and Shen Zeyuan are naturally very happy, although Shen Zejing is not confused when he is young, although he has also been tested by officialdom for a long time, but he still feels that having his father Shen Huashan in Jingzhao is like having a backbone!
Although there is still a teacher Ye Zhengchun in Jingzhao, but the head of the Shen family is back, and it feels different, which is an indescribable sense of security! went to court for several days. Shen Zejing was extremely excited.
Even Ye Zhengchun was happy because Shen Huashan was about to return to Jingzhao, and now someone finally had a conversation with him, and he finally didn't have to sigh that life was as lonely as the first snow.
Ye Zhengchun thought of his gentleman-like apprentice Shen Zejing and his sullen son-in-law Zhang Shu, and sighed deeply. He still has to maintain his image in front of these two people, but it's not good to be too casual, but he is much more comfortable talking to Shen Huashan. Laughing and scolding. That's what makes me comfortable.
Under everyone's ardent expectations, on July 13, Shen Huashan took Yuan Kezhen, Xu Youzhen and others back to Jingzhao. Shang Shuyou, Wu Pufang, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry personally greeted Shen Huashan and his party outside the southeast city gate. This is still licensed by Emperor Changtai, just to show his appreciation and value for Shen Huashan!
Healing the river in front of the stage and connecting the north and south is a great merit! Floods have always been difficult to treat, but Shen Huashan and his entourage not only managed the river in front of the stage, but also pioneered the three policies of river control, such as the water gate, the expenditure river, and the dredging river, which provided valuable experience for the water control in the rest of Dayong, which was his greatest achievement in front of the stage!
At the time of the collapse of the Queen Mother and the occurrence of many things in the royal family, there is such a happy event, which can dilute the depressed atmosphere of Jingzhao. It's so rare! Even a few princes. They are all secretly glad that Shen Hua has succeeded in controlling the water, and now Emperor Changtai's mood can be described as extremely happy, and he is also a lot more kind to them.
It didn't take long for Wu Pufang and others to receive Shen Huashan and his party. Carefully calculated, Shen Huashan and his party have been away from Jingzhao for nearly a year. They had a hard year in front of the stage. Exposed to the sun and rain, coupled with rushing back to Jingzhao along the way, these people all had weathered faces and looked quite tired.
In the midst of exhaustion, it is more the joy of returning home and the ease of completing the task, and finally returning to Jingzhao! Finally completed the task of controlling the water in front of the stage! Finally lived up to the trust of the emperor and the people! These kinds of ideas were intertwined, and Yuan Kezhen and the others laughed.
Wu Pufang's official position is lower than Shen Huashan's, and as soon as he saw Shen Huashan, he greeted him with a smile: "Lord Shangshu has worked hard all the way!" It's been a great journey! The emperor ordered the officials to wait here, and asked Lord Shangshu to go straight to the imperial city! ”
Shen Huashan arched his hand and said modestly: "This is all a business!" The food of the king bears the worries of the king, and fortunately does not disgrace his life. ”
The group entered the imperial city and walked to the Xuanzheng Palace, and Shen Huashan had to report to Emperor Changtai before returning to the Shen family.
Emperor Changtai has been waiting in the Xuanzheng Hall for a long time, and he is very satisfied with Shen Huashan's success in controlling the water in front of the stage.
Last year's flood was so serious about the damage to the river in front of Taiqian, Emperor Changtai knew a thing or two, and Jiang Chenghai, the head of the household department, had repeatedly said in the prelude that the north and south were affected, and he also sent so many people to the front of the stage to control the water, but it did not achieve results, until Shen Huashan took the water control lover Xu Youzhen to the front of the stage, which made a fundamental change in the management of the river in front of the stage.
Earlier, Shen Huashan's letter also briefly talked about the process and progress of water control, and now that he has returned to Jingzhao, he naturally has to report the specific situation to Emperor Changtai, and even Xu Youzhen was also allowed to answer in front of the emperor.
In July last year, Shen Huashan took Xu Youzhen and others to the front of the stage and joined Yuan Kezhen, a waiter in the local Ministry of Works. When he arrived at the stage, Shen Huashan knew that the flood was serious, and the gap in the river in front of the stage was so big, no wonder Yuan Ke really had no way, this situation was really dangerous and dangerous. Looking at the huge gap, Shen Huashan's heart couldn't stop sinking.
At Xu Youzhen's suggestion, Shen Huashan temporarily stopped the water interception and dredging work of the river workers, and the first thing he did was to conduct a detailed survey of the terrain and water potential, and then he gathered the river workers, officials, and Cao Yun people of the Taiqian River and asked them to share their views on the Taiqian River. Shen Huashan, Yuan Kezhen, and Xu Youzhen sorted out and refined the statements of the river workers, and only after brainstorming according to the actual topography in front of the platform did they put forward the three policies of river control of the water gate, the expenditure river, and the dredging river, and specifically adopted the method of dredging, plugging, and dredging at the same time, and completed a complete set of plans for controlling the waterway in front of the platform.
After this governance plan was approved by the imperial court, it began to be implemented immediately, and Shen Huashan guarded in front of the stage and worked hard to escort this plan. The new Hanoi Provincial Observer Qian Tongshi is a good friend of Shen Huashan, when he was appointed as Honglu Siqing, he had received Shen Huashan's help, and now, it is time to do his best! Qian Tongshi gave full support to this project, and water control materials and other materials were continuously transported from all over Hanoi Province to Taiqian, and not only that, but many Hanoi guards will also participate in this water control project.
The entire water control project cost tens of thousands of materials. There are more than 58,000 people working on the Yunjiao River, which shows the scale of river control. This water control project, headed by Shen Huashan and based on Xu Youzhen's theory, lasted nearly a year and was finally completed.
After the completion of the project, the locals thanked the court for its merits in controlling the water. The water river shrine was also built in the Balimiao Village in front of the stage. There is also a merit monument in the ancestral hall, which records the process of water control in front of the stage this time, the river work, labor, materials, and sluice construction locations of the water control officials, and the experience summary of water conservancy in removing floods and rejuvenating water conservancy, etc. It is said to be "the monument of the completion of the river repair".
"The ministers are fortunate not to disgrace their lives, the emperor's grace is vast, God blesses the people, so that the water control project is successfully completed, and the local people build the water river shrine and the merit monument, it is to thank the emperor for his kindness......" Shen Huashan bowed his head and bowed his head in great detail, describing in great detail the gratitude of the people in front of the stage to Emperor Changtai, and deepening the surface meaning of this merit monument!
Yuan Kezhen, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Xu Youzhen, a common man in cloth, and others also kowtowed. Yuan Kezhen also took out the rubbings of the merit monument and a stack of garlic heads, saying that this is a specialty in front of the stage. It was the people in front of the stage who thanked the emperor. specially let them send it to the emperor.
Emperor Changtai asked Yuan Kezhen to present the stack of garlic, smelling the unique spicy taste of garlic, he sighed in his heart the simplicity of the people in front of the stage, this is their gratitude. As a king, there is nothing more joyful than being supported by the people. Shen Huashan and others not only cured the waterway in front of the stage, but also spread Junze, which is a double thing!
Emperor Changtai was even more satisfied with the performance of Shen Huashan and others in front of the stage. Immediately, he announced that Shen Huashan and others had made great contributions to water control, and also rewarded a lot of royal clothes on the spot.
"Your stacks of garlic are really well used, you don't see the courtiers' eyes are blind. It is estimated that this will make the emperor feel that the spicy taste of garlic is also fragrant. Ye Zhengchun teased Shen Huashan, at that time, he could see clearly in the Xuanzheng Palace, and there was a smile in the emperor's eyes!
In front of the stage, he has made miraculous achievements in controlling water, and he is so good at doing things, this old boy has grown up, Ye Zhengchun thought so. It's not in vain that he ran to Shen's house as soon as he got out, and he didn't say hello, so naturally he wouldn't post anything, that thing is troublesome!
"Don't say that, this is the heart of the people in front of the stage for the emperor." Shen Huashan retorted with a smile, his eyes narrowed, his always kind face seemed to be more cordial and approachable, and the color of wind and frost on his face naturally decreased after resting. At this moment, after listening to Ye Zhengchun's words, he didn't care much, it was indeed sent by the people in front of the stage, and he didn't talk nonsense; However, it was also hinted by him and the people from the Ministry of Industry that it was sent by the people in front of the stage, which is not false.
"This time, it is estimated that your position as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry can be loosened. After this palace test, the Shen family was prosperous, and Jing'er was scared enough. If it weren't for the collapse of the Queen Mother, the situation would be really hard to say. Now that you are making meritorious contributions, it is not a good thing for you to show off in the forest. After the joke, Ye Zhengchun began to get down to business, in order to show his appreciation for Shen Huashan and others, Emperor Changtai would definitely add officials to them, so that the Shen family would once again enter the focus of Jingzhao officials' attention, Shen Zejing had already looked for him earlier, expressing his concern.
"I've got a plan for that. There is no need to worry too much, now that it is the period of filial piety of the Queen Mother, many things have been avoided. Shen Huashan also considered this point, but he was not as worried as Shen Zejing and Ye Zhengchun.
Jun En is limited, and besides, there is no vacancy in the second-grade official position this time, at most, he is just a plus, but it will not be too conspicuous.
"By the way, that Xu Youzhen, his ambition is to travel the world, and he is most annoying to be an official, it is estimated that he will not stay in Jingzhao for too long, you have to talk to the people in the ministry, lest you be denied an official position when you get it, and everyone's face is not good-looking." Shen Huashan remembered what Xu Youzhen said to him before, as soon as the matter of controlling the water in front of the stage was over, he would travel in Jingzhao after a short stay, and this matter of sealing and rewarding him was not uncommon. Ye Zhengchun is the right servant of Shangshu, and it is not difficult to pass a message to the Ministry of Officials and Emperor Changtai.
"This is really a strange person, there are still people who don't like to reward and be an official, and I will have to travel everywhere after I become a minister. This big mountain and famous river, although the body can't reach it, the heart yearns for it. Ye Zhengchun promised that Shen Huashan would do it on his behalf, and at the end he sighed such a sentence, which made Shen Huashan cry and laugh.
It wasn't until after Ye Zhengchun said goodbye that Shen Huashan had time to talk to Shen Zejing, Shen Zeyuan and others, and the father and son reunited, and what they said was naturally a recent thing. So Shen Huashan knew what happened before and after the collapse of the Queen Mother, and also knew that the Five Princes were in the limelight, but Xiyan, who he cared about, had no news coming, and no news was good news, and Shen Huashan gradually relaxed.
