Chapter 249: The hidden story is not shallow, and the prince of the world appears
At the beginning of the morning, when the golden sun moved out of the clouds for many days, and thousands of rays of light shrouded the market, the people who were suppressed by the obscure rainy day for many days were relieved of the turbidity in their chests, and the major shops in the shops also relieved themselves from the depression that the rainstorm continued to lead to the desertion in front of the door.
Outside the Taihe Gate of the Imperial Palace, the early dynasty has been held in Mao Zhengyi, and the six ministers of Jiuqing have finished their work, and they are about to disperse.
When the saint got up, the courtiers were about to "disband", but there were the chief attendants in front of the emperor who stepped down the jade steps with a whisk in his hand, elongated his sharp voice, and passed on the holy edict, Zhaojin, Qin Erxiang, Zhongshu Provincial officials, six Shangshu, all the waiters, all the princes who participated in the court meeting, princes and nobles, etc., went to the main hall of Qianming Palace to discuss politics.
Immediately after the early dynasty, the palace was called, although it was not common, and most of the ministers did not care.
Jin Rongzhong looked sideways, glanced at Qin Huaiyu with a solemn face, half of his thick black eyebrows were hanging, the corners of his lips were full of ambition, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, and took the lead in turning around.
Although the matter of Nanzhejiang caused some damage to his henchmen, and the prince did not listen to the "advice", and recommended the successor officials according to his actions, but made an assessment of the officials, the surface situation seems to be quite unfavorable to him, but! Qin Huaiyu tossed a lot, but he didn't get half a benefit, although the prince recommended him was not his henchman, and it had nothing to do with the Qin family's party, which was also natural, who let Qin Huaiyu's granddaughter be the fourth princess now?
It's just that Qin Huaiyu is still smart, and wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue, climb the power again, and marry the Weiguo Mansion-
As everyone knows, he was jealous, but he chose a cheap one in Jin Rong.
It turned out that Jin Xiang couldn't see the meaning of the prince of Chu at first, but Huo Zhen, a cronie and staff member in his house, analyzed - it should be Qin Huaiyu's "eagerness to win" and shoot him with stones, the reason is that the saint is quite heavy, and there will never be a heart for easy storage, but the Qin family is the Yuejia of the four princes, and they have colluded with the Weiguo Mansion with bad intentions, so that the saint is on the defense, and then he informed the prince of Jin Xiang, which is intended to imply that the magnate - the heart of the heavenly family, not to suppress Jin Xiang through the Nanzhejiang incident.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the saint to register Jin Liuniang as the side concubine of the East Palace.
Jin Xiang was overjoyed.
Originally, he had a daughter from the Jin family, so he should not be a concubine, but in the current situation, he can no longer "pretend to be high", Qin Huaiyu made a mistake, causing the Son of Heaven to stretch out his hand to him, of course, he must be grateful and hold it tightly.
Moreover, after all, Liuniang still has the reputation of "losing the honor in front of the emperor", and her reputation is not as good as before, otherwise the marriage will not be delayed so far, and more importantly, Jin Xiang has accurate information, and the princess can no longer get pregnant!
Jin Xiang thinks that it is not too long before the concubine is abolished, when the prince ascends the throne, with the status of his Jin family, where are the two side concubines Zhuo and Wei qualified to compete with Liuniang? I'm afraid the Jin family is going to have a queen!
Jin Xiang decisively ended his mind of marrying the Chu Palace, and happily sent his granddaughter to the East Palace with great joy.
At this time, Jin Rongzhong had already regarded himself as the queen's grandfather in advance, and of course he didn't look at Qin Huaiyu in his eyes.
When he was in front of the emperor, he was still thinking about the time to run, and when the family was prosperous, he suddenly smashed the pen from the sky, which could not only encompass the nobles of the two places, but also enrich the windfall in his pocket.
This courtier's palace, what is the matter with Qin Tianjian? Jin Rong was momentary and full of doubt.
"Since the beginning of the year, there has been a spring drought, and then a torrential rain in the summer, I am very worried about the flood situation in various places, I wonder if there will be rain after the sunny day today?" The Son of Heaven asked in a deep voice.
"Qi Qi Sheng, according to Lingtailang's observations, from late July to mid-August, there may be heavy rain."
The Son of Heaven was immediately worried: "It is reported that the continuous rain in many places in North China has caused the water level of the Yanjiang River and Nanjiang River to soar, and even the water flow of the Dinghe River is ...... faster than in previous years."
The Dinghe River passes through many states and counties in North China, and leads directly to Jinyangjing, if the water rises sharply, it will inevitably threaten Zhili Prefecture and County, and it is common for the Son of Heaven to pay attention.
Jin Rongzhong was puzzled, and returned to carelessness, secretly slandering in his heart - Qin Tianjian's gang of wine bags and rice bags will only play tricks on the mysterious, where will you know what the rain is like? The disaster in the Naoli River Basin is still caused by the torrential rain that has been in the past two months a hundred years ago, so natural disasters are really rare, and this is about to enter autumn, how can it cause floods and affect Naoli Kyoto?
But suddenly I heard the Son of Heaven call out a person, this time, the center string of Jin Rong suddenly collapsed, and a thin layer of trembling on the scalp.
The people who came out of the list should not have been there.
Because it is just one of the chiefs of the river defense under the Ministry of Industry, and this person is responsible for the area.
"I heard that the water of the two rivers enters the Dinghe River Basin, which is under the jurisdiction of the state, and there are heavy rains this summer, I don't know if there is a risk of flooding in the state?" The Son of Heaven clenched his fists on his knees, there was no worry between his eyebrows, and he was brewing a heavy solemnity, but in his tone, he was very indifferent.
I don't know what kind of answer the Lord Wang would have if he saw the expression of the Son of Heaven, but unfortunately he didn't dare to steal the dragon face, his eyes hung down, although his heart was beating like a beat, but he still thought about confusing things: "Qi Yu Shengshang, in the past hundred years, there is no risk of flooding in Bingzhou, although the rain is urgent this summer, it is rare for decades, but according to the state chronicles, during the prosperity of the Eastern Ming Dynasty in the former dynasty, there were more than 50 days of heavy rain in a row, so that many places in North China were affected by floods, but Bingzhou was not in trouble. ”
Jin Rongzhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyelids lightly, glanced at Qin Huaiyu, and stared.
Yu Feng, who was standing on the side of the clan relatives, had already taken the subtle expressions of Jin Rongzhong into his eyes, and his delicate brows slowly frowned.
Hearing the word "Bingzhou", Jin Xiang's expression changed greatly, which was very interesting, and Qin Xiang's expression seemed to be very dignified.
Could it be that the two people, who are on the verge of fire and water, actually joined hands to conceal the disaster report this time? Or, tacitly?
"It's all right!" The tone of the Son of Heaven suddenly sonorous, which shocked the hearts of all the courtiers, especially the chief Wang Shi, his forehead was immediately covered with a thin layer of sweat, his cyan official uniform trembled slightly, and his thin body shook a few times, and he was unsteady on his feet.
The Son of Heaven sneered, but the fury of thunder had already gathered in his eyebrows: "It has rained for more than 50 consecutive days, and the state has not been affected, why is it that the heavy rain for ten consecutive days this summer has caused the embankments in Pinan and Tangxian to collapse!" And five days have passed since the flood, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including me, are unaware of it! ”
These words were like Jiao Lei, "smashed" from the throne, and Jin and Qin were all colorless.
"Two prime ministers, have you ever received a disaster from the state?" The Son of Heaven tried his best to press it, but his palm was already gripping the yellow robe.
"Wechen has not been reported." The two phases are in the court, and this unanimous speech can be regarded as "rare in a hundred years".
The Son of Heaven asked the political envoys and the left and right political envoys, including Su Yi, all of whom said that they had not seen the chapter.
The reason why Yu Feng turned to the Weiguo Mansion yesterday was that he suddenly thought that Su Yi was not the right general government, and he had no possibility of hiding the rules and not reporting it.
What makes people think deeply is that the division of powers between the left and right general government is re-planned when the original right general political Chen Ying was promoted to the general political envoy, if it is said that Jin Xiang planned two years ago, and intended to let Su Yi, who is "unknown to me or enemy", avoid merging with the state, and regardless of whether this is possible or not, just say one thing - Chen Ying's identity! He is the eldest brother of Chen Guifei, belongs to the family faction, Qin Xiang's party, how can he only be the fate of Jin Xiang?
After inquiring layer by layer, they went to the two governors who sent and received the upper and lower texts, and reasoned that they did not have the right to consult the chapters, but after registering them in the book with the mailing place written on the music cover, they submitted the left and right political readings, but the two governors were not stupid, and they returned to the list, saying that there were too many chapters to be exchanged and could not remember carefully for a while, so they had to wait until they checked the records before they had the results.
"Qiqi Sheng, Weichen, Qin Xiang, and the officials of the General Administration Department did not know that there was such a concert, and even the governor of the prefecture did not explain the disaster, so it should be that the county commanders of Pinan and Tangxian were afraid to investigate and take responsibility, so they concealed it and did not report it." Jin Rongzhong came back to his senses and made a report.
The Son of Heaven frowned, although he listened to Yu Feng's words, he also suspected that it was Jin Xiang's concealment, but it was difficult to explain why Qin Xiang, who was incompatible with him, did not investigate this matter.
He asked the director of the Ministry of Works, who was already unstable and fell to his knees: "Bingzhou Water Conservancy is in charge of you, and earlier you said that there will be no floods, what explanation should you make now?" ”
Master Wang complained bitterly, only to feel that everyone in the hall looked at him, as if dozens of sharp swords were hanging on his body, how dare he tell the truth, only said in a trembling voice: "Weichen is really unknown...... Because Pinan, Tangxian and other places are close to the Dinghe River, the embankments are valued every year...... But Weichen didn't know whether the local county order was dutiful after getting the embankment money allocated by the household department......"
This is to put all the charges on the county magistrate.
Su Yi said at this time: "Qi Shengshang, Weichen thinks that the responsibility is still secondary, and the most important place in front of him should also help the people affected by the disaster, and rush to repair the river embankment, beware of causing a greater disaster, Weichen admonished, should be assigned to send Qin to Bingzhou, one is to thoroughly investigate and conceal the disaster, the cause of the disaster, and the other is to help the people...... Wechen has experience in local disaster relief and chaos relief, so he recommended himself ......"
Yu Feng watched from the sidelines, paying more attention to Jin Rongzhong's expression.
Sure enough, seeing that his eyebrows were frowning, he actually exchanged a dark and uncertain look with Qin Xiang!
Jin Rongzhong was extremely annoyed at this time - thinking that the daughter of the Qin family had not yet married into the Weiguo Mansion, Qin Huaiyu had not yet explained this matter to the Guogong Mansion, Su Yi did not know the hidden situation, and it was a big disadvantage to come out at this time!
Qin Huaiyu looked at Chen Ying and raised his eyebrows invisibly.
Chen Ying immediately understood, and then came out again: "Qi Shengshang, Su Tongzheng's words are very true, but Wei Chen is shallow, because Su Tongzheng does not govern the states of North China, and he is not as familiar with the local people as Tong Tongzheng, so Wei Chen admonished, because Tong Tongzheng led the Qin to send orders, and went to the state to act. ”
Jin Xiang: Hmph, Qin Huaiyu understands.
Yu Feng: Back then, it was this left-handed political boy Weiyi, who led Qin's errand, and as soon as he arrived in the prefecture, he "found out" that the five county orders concealed the disaster situation, beheaded him on the spot, and allocated one million taels of silver from the household department to help the people, but as a result, tens of thousands of people died tragically, but he didn't expect that it was Chen Ying who recommended this person. In the previous life, the Qin family was not the fourth princess, but the side concubine of the East Palace, but in this life, the status of the Qin family and the Jin family has been adjusted...... If you talk about the previous life, it is still possible for Jin Xiang and Chen Ying to join forces, what is this life...... Things have come to this point, and it's really getting more and more confusing.
The Son of Heaven glanced at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the advice of the two Aiqing is reasonable, but ...... This time, the two counties were hit by the disaster, so that the people suffered, and I was not at ease, and I intended to let the royal family and his sons and sons lead the Qin mission to comfort the victims. ”
Jin Rongzhong and Qin Huaiyu: Is this to let the prince act? In this way, no matter which prince is the third or fourth, it is the prince, and he should not be stabbed in the pot, where do the princes know about water conservancy, as long as the people under them are smart, they can be confused.
Moreover, the three princes are only the crown prince, and the Jin family and the crown prince have become married, even if the princes find something strange, they can find a way to turn around.
Prince: Father, my son's concubine is still injured, but you can't let me abandon her at this juncture......
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince: There is a big secret in this matter, can you intervene? Will it get into trouble? You have to make a good living.
The saint finally looked at Yu Feng: "Yuanyang, are you willing to go to Bingzhou to find out this matter for me and save the people from fire and water?" ”
The corners of Yu Feng's lips raised, and he fell out of the ranks: "Weichen leads the order." ”
The crown prince and the fourth prince sighed secretly.
The corners of the three princes' eyes were slanted, thoughtful.
Jin Rongzhong and Qin Huaiyu -
Gasp!
