Chapter VII: River Control (2)
Chapter 7 River Control (2)
"Smack!" As soon as the words fell, Guo Wei was so angry that he threw a tea cup to the ground and fell to pieces. "Wang Xiufeng, don't deceive people too much! I have repeatedly told you that in my life, I will only establish a prince and a prince. You are noble and plain, and I also respect you, you, you, why do you have to send him to a dead end?"
"Ah!" was treated like this by Guo Wei for the first time, and the privy envoy Wang Jun was really taken aback. However, after retreating a few steps one after another, he suddenly turned his heart sideways, and choked back with his neck: "The minister is guilty, the minister deliberately plotted to kill the prince, the crime is unforgivable! Please Your Majesty order the guards to take down the minister, push out the noon gate, and dissect the corpse with a random blade!"
"You, you ......" Guo Wei pointed at the tip of Wang Jun's nose, and his eyes turned black for a while. If he became the emperor, he could act recklessly, and at this moment he really wanted to order the guards around him to rush up and chop the privy envoy Wang Jun into pulp. However, the part of reason in his heart that has not yet been burned to ashes by anger clearly tells him that he can't do that, and if he does, the result will be chaos in the world!
Wang Jun was the first assistant of the dynasty, and Wang Jun once had meritorious service with the country. And, and behind Wang Jun stood a number of generals such as Wang Yin, Fan Aineng, and He Hui!
"I'm not Liu Chengyou, you, you can't do Shi Hongzhao!" The teeth bit his lip a few times, Guo Wei forced himself to calm down, withdrew his fingers, and added with a wheez, "I, I won't kill you." But, but today, Wang Xiufeng, if you can't come up with a real reason. I, I am trying to be ridiculed by the whole world, and I will, I will expel you from Bianliang!"
"Privy envoy Wang Jun, thank Your Majesty for not killing him!" Wang Jun was also completely out of the way today, and bowed to Guo Wei again, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty just asked the ministers, who in the court can go to Jingchu and his party for His Majesty." His Majesty did not say that he was not allowed to recommend the crown prince. Your Majesty didn't even say that the lives of tens of millions of displaced people are not worth the crown prince!"
"You ......" Guo Wei was so angry that his eyes were dark again, and he wanted to refute it, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word. The green tendons on his forehead were suffocating, and beads of sweat were dripping down his cheeks.
Although he was born in the army, after ascending the throne, he has always tried to be a wise man who loves the people. And a Daoming Jun, no matter what, he can't think that his son's life is higher than tens of millions of people. Otherwise, once it spreads, it will immediately become a lone husband, a thief, and everyone in the world will be qualified to raise troops to expel him.
The two monarchs and ministers were at a stalemate, and the deputy privy envoy Feng Dao suddenly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Guo Wei: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the crown prince is not the best candidate for an envoy. ”
"Changle Lao'er!" I didn't expect Feng Dao, who had always been timid, to take the initiative to jump out again and again and again to get along with himself, Wang Jun's eyes were so angry that his eyes were on fire, "This is a matter involving my Great Zhou National Fortune and tens of millions of living beings, you have to talk nonsense!"
"The privy envoy should know that the old man has never spoken falsely!" Feng Dao smiled at him, taking the murderous aura in his face as a warm spring breeze, "The prince was doing business under a pseudonym, and all he befriended were peddlers, pawns, and those who could not be on the table. These people are not qualified to get involved in the government of the Jingchu Ma clan at all. And the old man, old friends are all over the south of the Yangtze River. If His Majesty does not give up, he will entrust the old man with the important task of envoy Jing Chu. It will definitely be able to promote the alliance between the two countries, for the Great Zhou, for the tens of millions of people affected by the disaster, in exchange for a chance to breathe!"
The words are neither humble nor arrogant, and they are justified. When he landed, the fierce light in Wang Jun's eyes dimmed. And Guo Wei, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was moved to tears. stretched out a big slap of Pu Fan, grabbed Feng Dao's hand, and choked up: "Taishi, you, your mind, I have received it." But Jing Chu was hot and humid, and dysentery was rampant. And you're over the ......."
"Hehe, why did Your Majesty say this?" Feng Dao glanced at Guo Wei lightly, shook his head and smiled, "In the past, Shu Han Huang Zhong was seventy years old and could still compete on the battlefield, and the famous Warring States general Lian Po was seventy years old and could still have a meal of rice, but the minister just went to drink with Jing Chu Junjie and meet friends with words, and he didn't need to mention a knife to fight with people, what is the difference between a seventy and fifty years old?"
As he spoke, he broke free of his hand from Guo Wei's palm, took two steps back, and asked for help, "Minister, Privy Deputy Envoy Feng Dao, I am willing to send Jing Chu for Your Majesty." Please don't think Your Majesty is old, and don't hesitate to entrust you with important tasks!"
"Okay, good!" Guo Wei also put away the anger and reluctance on his face, and nodded solemnly, "I'm right, I'm right." But Dao, just go back and prepare. Early tomorrow morning, I will lead a hundred officials to see you off!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Dao bowed again and saluted Guo Wei. Immediately, he raised his head again, looked at Wang Jun, who was unwilling, and turned around and strode away.
"Old immortal, old horseman, old thief!" If the eyes can kill, the privy envoy Wang Jun at this moment really can't wait to cut Feng Dao with a thousand knives with his eyes. However, since his eyes couldn't kill, the trap he had dug for Chai Rong with all his might had lost its effect because of Feng Dao's intervention, so he could only temporarily suppress the killing intent in his heart and rearrange other poisonous bait.
"Your Majesty, the old minister's previous words are indeed a little impatient. Compared to the crown prince, Ke Dao is indeed a more suitable candidate for the envoy!" Retracting his gaze from Feng Dao's back, the privy envoy Wang Jun smiled and took the initiative to apologize to Guo Wei very unexpectedly. "But the old minister is also an unintentional mistake, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!"
"Forget it, our monarchs and ministers, don't say these kind words!" Looking at Wang Jun, who had no remorse on his face at all, Emperor Guo Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty felt a burst of weakness in his heart, waved his hand, and said with a wry smile. "Anyway, it's not the first time that you, Brother Xiufeng, have bumped into me face to face. I'm used to it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity!" Wang Jun immediately hit the snake with the stick, bowed slightly, and then added with a smile, "However, the old minister still thinks that borrowing rice and forming an alliance are both palliative measures rather than a cure. If you want to calm the flood, Your Majesty has to find a way to start from the source!"
"Well, this is reasonable!" Guo Wei was stunned, and his reaction speed was somewhat unable to keep up with the rhythm of Wang Jun's thinking changes. "This year's spring and summer have been rainy, but autumn may not be. As soon as the water level receded in autumn and the water level receded a bit, I immediately sent someone to ......"
"Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant!" was only halfway through the words, Wang Jun had already interrupted unceremoniously, "Your Majesty, what the minister said is not to repair the river. Repairing the river can only alleviate the flooding. But if you want the wind and rain to be smooth, you need to go down to An Lishu and salute the sky!"
"An Min, Litian?" Guo Wei was slightly stunned when he was said again, frowning, and his face gradually turned cold again, "Xiufeng, tell me what disrespectful actions I have done since I ascended the throne. In addition to earthquakes and floods, God keeps tossing and turning?"
"Your Majesty, you should know that Weichen is loyal to you. Wang Jun didn't care about Guo Wei's face at all, smiled, and emphasized loudly, "The minister thinks that it is not Your Majesty who disrespects the sky, but someone else." Since ancient times, giant kun has never gone ashore, and there will be a catastrophe when it comes ashore. And now, you see that in this Bianliang City, what is sold is kun oil, what is eaten is kun meat, and what is played is kun bones. The Kunpeng clan in the East China Sea is caught ashore countless times a year. No wonder the heavens are furious and the rain is pouring down!"
