Chapter 3: Hurricanes (3)

The pouring rain fell from the sky, washing away the dust in the sky, washing away the blood stains on the ground, and washing the carved beams and paintings in Bianliang City. Ω E small Δ says.

Guo Wei, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sat in the Hanliang Palace, listening to the noisy rain outside, and couldn't help frowning.

Hanliang Hall is Liu Chengyou modeled after the summer building in the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty to build, the position is very high, surrounded by water on three sides, so even in the hot summer, there is a cool breeze in the hall. However, in this thunderstormy weather, the Hanliang Hall is a little too humid. From the pillar to the window edge, to the bookcase in front of Guo Wei, there is a trace of moisture condensed on almost every smooth surface, and as long as a person's clothes are accidentally rubbed lightly, they will be wet like urine.

"Your Majesty, let's go to another place to review the folds, the weather is cold and the dew is heavy, be careful of the dragon's body!" the old eunuch Li Fu bowed forward and sincerely advised.

He was originally an old handyman cleaning the library in the palace, with an ugly appearance, a rough complexion, and a lack of flexibility in his mouth and mind, so he could not see the emperor's face at the end of the year, let alone collude with internal and external common wealth. Who would have expected that the last palace owner Liu Chengyou played with male pets, and he lost the country. At that time, the eunuchs who were in power fled, died, and the trees fell and scattered. And Guo Wei, the new owner of the palace, hoped that the eunuchs around him could read and write, so he went from a miscellaneous servant in the library pavilion to a personal entourage of the new emperor, and he could be called "a steady step".

People who have already eaten and are waiting to die, and suddenly get such a great creation, of course Li Fu cherishes it very much. Therefore, at all times, I wholeheartedly think about my new master, lest the new master be in good health and let his good luck come to an abrupt end. And the new emperor Guo Wei is also a rare and easy to serve the lord, he does not pick up and wears, sometimes he gets up and down, and occasionally his temper deteriorates because of the tragic death of his sad family. At most, he smashed a few things, and never took the flesh and blood of the eunuchs and palace maids as cheap.

Today, however, there are some exceptions. After listening to Li Fu's advice, Guo Wei did not immediately move elsewhere, but waved his arm impatiently and drove away loudly: "Go, go! Don't you see that I'm busy? This heavy rain is endless, where can I be dry? If you think it's tidal here, you go and make a carbon basin." There's a charcoal basin roasting, it's better than the old one dangling around me!"

"Ahh However, he did not dare to scream or cry out in pain. One rolled up and got up, and said yes in unison.

"You ......" Guo Wei had a keen sense of six senses, and immediately felt that someone seemed to be moving quickly at his feet. Instinctively, he dodged to the other side of the bookcase, then turned his head, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and asked in surprise: "You, why did you fall?" Oops! It's Guo's fault, Guo shouldn't have ...... just now."

As soon as the apology was halfway through, the old eunuch Li Fu and the other eunuchs on duty were all frightened and fell to the ground. While kowtowing like garlic, he pleaded with tears: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't blame yourself so much. I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm not dare, I'm really not daring, I really can't afford it!"

"What are you responsible for?" Guo Wei was stunned again, and then suddenly remembered that he was now the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and he was no longer the military general who drank with his brothers and slept on his back. The expression on his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, waved his hand, and said kindly: "Okay, you all get up." It's not your fault. Li Fu, you also get up, go to the Imperial Doctor's side to see if you have injured your bones? No, I didn't expect to knock you over!"

"Old slave, old slave is fine, it's okay!" The old eunuch Li Fu was grateful, and while kowtowing vigorously, he choked up in response, "It was the old slave himself who didn't look at it just now, and it wasn't Your Majesty's fault." Old slave ......"

"It was I who knocked you down!" Guo Wei took a few steps forward, bent down and lifted him up from the ground with his own hands, "People with eyes are watching, why do you bother to distinguish for me? Then I will pay him two more money from the inner treasury, which will be counted as my apology. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the eunuchs heard this, knelt down again, and saluted Guo Wei sincerely.

They are all left over from the previous dynasty, and who has never seen those bloody corpses carried out from the corner gate? When Liu Chengyou was in power, he was accidentally pushed down by the emperor, and he still wanted to see the imperial doctor, receive compensation, and dream about it! I will no longer pull you out and beat you, and ask you why you want to deliberately make the emperor unhappy, and you have already burned high incense.

"Get up, get up, don't be like kowtowers!" And Guo Wei himself still has no consciousness of being an emperor. Disturbed by everyone's performance, he waved his hands and commanded loudly. "If you have kowtow to me, you might as well hurry up and get a carbon basin. Li Fu didn't say it, I couldn't feel it, but it was really wet in this room. ”

"Yes!" the eunuchs got up with gratitude on their faces and trotted to prepare the charcoal. The old eunuch Li Fu did not follow the order to go to the imperial doctor for treatment, but first moved his arms and legs and rubbed the back of his head. Then he staggered to Guo Wei's side again, and asked cautiously: "The emperor is worried that the rain is too heavy, and there will be floods on the Yellow River?" In fact, at this time of the year, there were often heavy rains, but there was a dragon in Bianliang City, and Hong Feng never dared to approach. ”

"What kind of dragon spirit, the site was well chosen, but it was only diverted by the Sancha River halfway through the flood. Guo Wei gave him a blank look and replied stupidly, "But this year, the upstream rain is also heavy, and it is said that several floods have overflowed the embankment." The diversion effect of the Sancha River may not be as miraculous as in the past. However, now that someone is sent to repair it, I'm afraid, I'm afraid...... , Forget it, you better hurry up and see the doctor, I told you, you don't understand!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The old eunuch Li Fu knew that there were some things Guo Wei didn't want to involve people like him too much, so he agreed, and walked backwards. His feet crossed the threshold, but he turned his heart sideways and proposed: "Your Majesty, in fact, in addition to the Sancha River, there are several places that can be diverted. As long as the flood does not affect Bianliang......"

"I know!" Guo Wei knew that the other party was out of kindness, waved his hand, and interrupted in a low voice, "If you don't flood Bianliang, you can let the flood flood other places." But the people elsewhere deserve to be drowned?"

"The previous dynasty, the previous dynasty are all ......" The old eunuch Li Fu was stunned and spoke again.

"The previous dynasty did this, it doesn't mean that I can do the same! Forget it, you don't care, I will find a way!" Guo Wei waved his hand and smiled bitterly. "The people at the bottom pay their food, pay taxes, and serve in forced labor, and they are hardly idle all year round. I ate them and drank them, and when the flood came, in order to keep the one-third of the land in front of me, I sent troops to dig the river embankment and flood their homes. I'm a bullshit emperor, what are they doing with me, a bullshit emperor? Why don't you raise a few dogs, so that you can kill and eat meat, and guard the door!"

This is the true thought in his heart, although after saying it, few people can understand it, and no one has the courage to echo it. Since ancient times, emperors have been the Son of Heaven and have been ordained by Heaven to educate all people. As long as the destiny of heaven is endless, it can be passed on to the country for thousands of generations, as for the life and death of all people, what does it have to do with him?

The little eunuchs moved very quickly, and after a short time, they had already put the carbon basin on it. The bright red coals immediately warmed up the room, and the moisture was instantly dispelled.

Guo Wei picked up the bookcase with one hand and placed it next to the carbon basin. Then he moved the basket full of folds and continued to read it against the firelight. Soon, a thick pile of clay was piled up under his feet.

In fact, all the twists and turns were screened by the ministers in advance, and the less important ones were disposed of, and only the most important ones, or those that were difficult for everyone to decide, were sent to him. Rao is like this, and he is still exhausted every day. Today, I was busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, and finally put down the pen, stretched my waist and turned my head to look around, "Ha-"

The rain outside, I don't know when it has stopped. The water at the eaves, which used to be like a waterfall, has long since become dripping. Looking through the window specially set aside by the eunuchs for ventilation, Guo Wei even saw a few stars. This made him feel happy in his heart, and he stood up sharply, and prepared to go to the courtyard to exercise his muscles.

"Your Majesty is done, Weichen is playing again!" A hoarse voice rang in his ears, so frightened that he instinctively dodged, and almost fell headlong.

"Your Majesty, don't panic, it's the minister, the privy envoy Wang Xiufeng!" The hoarse voice sounded again, faintly revealing a little schadenfreude, "The minister just saw that you were fascinated by the criticism, so I didn't let the eunuchs disturb you." ”

"Brother Xiufeng, in the middle of the night, why did you come to me?" Guo Wei was shocked for a moment, and asked with a smile.

So far, he has only two concubines in the harem. So I don't care much about the entry and exit of foreign ministers. But the sudden visit of the privy envoy Wang Jun in the middle of the night, and the fact that he was able to make him unaware of it was a bit too much, and even made him feel some uneasiness in the depths of his heart.

The privy envoy Wang Jun did not feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior. If there is something to do, he can enter the palace at any time to admonish, which is the privilege that Guo Wei promised him and several ministers of the humerus in public. And Guo Wei was able to sit on the throne happily, no longer twisting and pinching like before, thanks to his immediate decision and sending someone to end Liu Bin's life!

Therefore, in Wang Jun's eyes, the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty has at least half of his own credit. In state affairs, you can do whatever you have to do, say whatever you have to say, there is really no need to be too polite to Guo Wei!

"Wechen doesn't want to come and bother in the middle of the night!" With a little dissatisfaction, the privy envoy Wang Jun responded truthfully, "However, Wechen heard tonight that Gao Huaide returned to Bianliang, and he also carried the victory documents from the front line. Wei Chen wanted to ask His Majesty, where is the document of victory? What does Shanzhou Jiedu want to do? Why did Gao Huaide bypass the Privy Council and send the document directly to His Majesty?"
