Du Xiwen bowed his body and said: "Wu Qian saw this atlas, if he got a treasure, he convened people overnight to discuss it carefully, and a few days later he went to the imperial court, and was approved, and in the next six years, he devoted himself to building 'Linjiangyan', often sleeping on the embankment with Chen Shao, and did not return for several months. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia smiled: "This Wu Qian is a parental official. His gaze slid to Song Weiyong.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Wu Qian is indeed conscientious, in order to build the 'Linjiangyan', twice gave up the opportunity to return to Beijing to report on work, for the 'first dam in the ages' painstaking efforts, now only thirty years old, is already a sideburns star. In terms of merit, the minister thought that Wu Qian should be the head of the provinces. Song Weiyong's voice was fluttering, but his attitude was firm.

Emperor Yuan Jia nodded and turned to Du Xiwen: "I also heard some time ago that the 'Linjiangyan' has been completed, and this summer's heavy rain, the river flood has occurred again, but Linjiang Mansion has not entered a drop of water, and there is no water in the neighboring counties, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Du Xiwen raised his head slightly, the candle flame was shining, the light was scorching, and even his tone was a little hot: "When the ministers first received this letter, they still didn't believe it, because of the frequent floods in Linjiang Prefecture and the counties, the Ministry of Industry sent personnel to reduce it many times, and the treasury allocated countless amounts of silver, all of which could not be cured. Weichen then sent a private visit, and then, all the merchants who had business dealings with Linjiang Mansion in Beijing, the minister also ordered people to interrogate carefully, and after comparing the two, he knew that this matter was true. ”

He suddenly lifted his clothes and fell to the ground, his face flushed with excitement: "The floods under the river, every year, every year, the counties of Linjiang Prefecture are still very serious, because of their special terrain, the mountains and rivers are treacherous, and the ministers and others have tried their best, but they can only treat the head and feet with headaches and feet, and they cannot cure the disease and cure the disease, causing the local people to suffer, and the ministers are guilty." ”

He kowtowed heavily on the ground, and then raised his head, his voice was a little choked: "Song Shoufu said well, 'Linjiangyan' can be called 'the first dam in the world', its clever use of the terrain, conform to the time of the day, gather people's hearts, can be said to make the best use of things, people do their best, accumulate several years of work, before and after spending only 500,000 silver, there is no place to use, there is no waste pen, it is everywhere fine. When it is completed, its momentum is like a rope leading the Milky Way, and its state is like a hook and a jade, with the power of a dam, rejecting the big river and taking the counties, not only to ensure the health of the people, but also to Ze and the descendants of all generations. Wechen ...... Weichen is really happy for the people and rejoicing for Dachu. ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he burst into tears, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover his sleeves: "Weichen lost his honor in front of the emperor, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

Emperor Yuan Jia hurriedly stepped forward to help him, his eyebrows gentle: "Master Du doesn't have to be like this. That Linjiang Mansion has been flooded since the previous dynasty, lasting for more than 100 years and cannot be cured, but now it is relieved once, it is too late for me to reward you, how can I forgive the sin? ”

He smiled on his face, and in his eyes, there was a hint of joy: "If you talk about merit, you should be headed by the Ministry of Engineering led by Bachelor Du, Chen Shao is the Ministry of Labor, proficient in the way of water control, 'Linjiangyan' has to be built, after all, Bachelor Du has taught well." ”

Du Xiwen thanked him, folded his sleeves and got up, and his heart hanging high fell to the bottom in an instant.

With the words of Emperor Yuan Jiadi, this eternal achievement, they have all the works.

"It's all Your Majesty's way of governing the country, and Weichen and others are just at the right time." He bowed, his eyes still slightly reddened, as if he had not recovered from his emotions.

Emperor Yuan Jia is by no means a king of great joy, and if he speaks too much, he will be annoyed, and he can stop when he points to it.

Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Jia smiled gently, and tightened his clothes for him with his own hands: "Master Du is the pillar of the country." Fu turned to Song Weiyong again, and smiled: "Then Wu Qian is also a good official who is dedicated to the people, and the old Song Pavilion is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and promotes good talents, which is really my arm." ”

Song Weiyong smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty's words, the old minister doesn't dare to take it." The example appointed by His Majesty back then has now made actual achievements, which is still His Majesty's insight. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia was stunned, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Did Wu Qian actually participate in the palace examination?" ”

Song Weiyong said with a smile: "How dare the old minister be false in this matter? There is also his article on the palace examination that year, and His Majesty's personal comments, which couldn't be more true. ”

He took out the article from his sleeve, the yellowed page, the handwriting was slightly faint, and the Zhu Zhu on it was as straight as a glow, which was particularly eye-catching under the candlelight.

"Chen Bucai, I found this splendid article from the pile of papers, and His Majesty personally approved it back then, but it hasn't faded yet." Song Weiyong made a joke and presented the page.

Du Xiwen half-hung his eyes, and stabbed down with a knife that poked his eyes, but he hated that he couldn't pierce the stone path.

But it turned out that the first dam in the ages was still carried by his Song faction.

Wu Qian was born in Jin and Hebei, worshiped under Yao Shezhou, and Song Weiyong was the same trouser leg.

Emperor Yuanjia had already taken the scroll in his hand, swept it, and smiled: "It turned out to be the list of Yuanjia in the second year, and it is strange that I see that his name is very familiar." ”

"Your Majesty has many protégés, how can you remember these?" Song Weiyong smiled calmly, and his voice was the same: "In those years, it was internal and external troubles, Your Majesty drove the expedition in person, and conquered the northern Xinjiang and Xiyi, which was really hard. Lao Chen remembered that after the palace examination that year, His Majesty led the troops to the north. ”

"Elder Song Ge, this is for me to step down." Emperor Yuan Jia smiled, returned the page to him, and sighed with emotion: "This blink of an eye, the list of people I pointed out back then, has now made such good results, I am very relieved." ”

He sighed with his hands, as if recalling the time, the cloud pattern on the crane was buoyant: "My luck is good, the list that was pointed out back then has now become a humerus, and Chen Shao has lost his memory for eight years, and it turned out to be ...... It is also to serve the country. ”

Song and Du didn't look at each other, and bowed together.

In the end, no one missed anyone's move, and it was a tie.

The fragrance of flowers floats, the night mist surges, and between the silver petals of frost leaves, the bamboo breeze comes thinly, as if carrying an old memory, making people think of the past years and the passing time.

This atmosphere of emotion lasted for a while, and Emperor Yuanjia raised his sleeves, turned to Song Weiyong, and frowned slightly: "Old Song Ge, but I don't know where Chen Shao was when he disappeared?" ”

"It's in the Sichuan-Shaanxi area." Song Weiyong replied.

Emperor Yuan Jia said "oh", and his tightly knit brows did not relax: "From Sichuan and Shaanxi to Linjiang Mansion, how can it be thousands of miles?" How did he get there? This way to the state capital, there is no trace of him? ”

"Your Majesty forgives you." Song Weiyong bowed his old waist and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Emperor Yuan Jia.

"That's it, Song Ge Lao stands and talks." He said, with a smile on his face, a thin layer, like the last ray of twilight on the horizon, and it will be overturned for the night in a moment.

Song Weiyong still hung his head, unable to see his expression, only his voice was low, and he came with the wind: "Since Chen Shao returned home, the officials have been checking his whereabouts, and then corroborated with what the Linjiang prefect said, and learned that when Chen Shao appeared in Linjiang Mansion, it was in the depths of winter, and the place where he appeared was in the barren mountains and remote valleys, which were rescued by local hunters. ”()
