"And the old man is on this trip, but he is not fleeing the famine."

Hearing Zhang Aiji's whisper, Liu Ying finally recovered from his heavy heart.

Seeing that Zhang was stagnant in his words, he adjusted his emotions before squeezing out a little smile.

"Life is hard, but if Your Majesty cares, you can still endure it."

"It is rumored that His Majesty ordered the prince to repair the Guanzhong Water Conservancy, and the first person to bear the brunt is Zheng Guoqu!"

"If this is the case, by the autumn of next year, tens of thousands of households in Weibei will no longer have to suffer from the lack of water to irrigate, and the grain and rice will be long but not abundant?"

Hearing the temptation in Zhang Aiji's words, which was almost undisguised, Liu Ying condensed his face slightly, and couldn't help but solemnly bow his hand.

"But don't worry!"

"When the spring begins next year, the water of Zhengguo Canal will flow through Zhangjiazhai and continue!"

"The boy doesn't know much about farming, and he doesn't dare to say that he will be old, and the people of Weibei will have food or abundance; However, there will be no shortage of water to irrigate the fields! ”

Hearing that Liu Ying's voice was full of determination, and even faintly with a hint of promise, Zhang Aiji finally settled down and nodded with relief.

"If this is the case, in the future, hundreds of thousands of households in Guanzhong will be remembered by the prince's kindness."

With a heartfelt word of praise, Zhang Yiji chuckled and lowered his head, and finally brought the topic back on track.

"Some time ago, I heard that the prince wanted to repair Zheng Guoqu, but there was a shortage of forced labor."

"I also heard that in order to repair the Zhengguo Canal, the prince did not hesitate to send Shaofu to prepare stone bricks for Chang'an to be used for the Zhengguo Canal?"

Seeing that Liu Ying was still nodding her head with a little depression, Zhang Yiji chuckled again.

"The dredging and blockage of Zhengguo Canal is related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of households in Weibei on both sides of the strait."

"Even if His Majesty ordered the prince to renovate, the name of Weibei such as old decay should also make a little effort to help the prince."

As he spoke, Zhang Aiji couldn't help but poke his head out of the car window, and looked at the old and weak villagers behind the carriage with grain bags on his back with a little smugness.

"There are more than 300 young and strong people in Zhangjiazhai, but before His Majesty went out to fight, the young and strong people in Zhangjiazhai were mostly recruited by His Majesty as soldiers and people's husbands."

"Later, when the old man heard that there was a shortage of power to repair the Zhengguo Canal, he also sent dozens of strong men in the village to repair the canal."

"This time, the old man and the old and young in the village also want to go."

"First, the old man wants to see the renovation of Zheng Guoqu, and the warmth and hunger of the men in the village, so he can feel a little more at ease."

"Second ······"

Speaking of this, Zhang Aiji quietly paused, and looked at Liu Ying's gaze with a little scrutiny.

"Second, it is a ······ for the delivery of food"

Hearing Zhang Aiji's words, Liu Ying's already heavy heart suddenly became mixed.

Raising his head with a complicated face, looking at Zhang Aiji's slightly tentative gaze, Liu Ying didn't care about thinking at all, only stopped and bowed to Zhang Aiji in the car.

"There are only more than 200 households in Zhangjiazhai, and they have contributed hundreds of troops to fight for their father and the emperor and repair the canal for the boy!"

"Now the old man even brings the grain and rice in the village and imports it to the people who build the canal······"

"Boy, thank you!!"

As she spoke, Liu Ying's tone was choked.

When Liu Ying straightened up, Zhang Aiji saw that Liu Ying's face was covered with tears.

Seeing that Liu Ying shook her lips stubbornly, and raised her hand to wipe her face without twisting, she nodded with a resolute face.

"Don't worry, old man!"

"If the renovation of Zheng Guoqu is not completed for a day, the kid will not return to Chang'an for a day!"

"It is the passage of Zhengguo Canal, the water of Weibei farmland, after the boy returns to Chang'an, he should also play his father's father, play the evil Jia of the grain merchant in Guanzhong, and take the country of the Han Zuo agriculture as the country!"

Solemnly made a promise, Liu Ying turned around with a firm face and raised her head slightly.

"Mingdi!"

"Call the sons and daughters of the Southern Army to come over and help the villagers carry their bags!"

"Speed up, be sure to reach the lotus spoon before sunset tomorrow!"

Seeing Liu Yingman full of vigor and heroically giving orders, Zhang Yiji only nodded secretly.

As for what Liu Ying said, 'bomb pressure Guanzhong grain merchants', Zhang Aiji just didn't hear it, and only wanted that in the spring next year, there would be enough water to irrigate the acres of land at home.

But next year, Zhang Aiji will find out: What does a prince who must do what his words and deeds mean to Liu Hansheji and to all the people in the world.

In Guanzhong, especially in the left vicinity of Chang'an, the grain merchants who are engaged in the sale of grain and rice will also realize at that time: In the world of Liu Han, at the foot of the imperial city of Chang'an, what a dangerous occupation it is to do grain business······

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Just a few days after Liu Ying left Chang'an, Guanzhong finally came with the news that everyone expected.

——Acting Prime Minister Chen Xuan set himself up as the acting king, raising the flag to judge the Han!

When the news broke, the entire Kanto region was buzzed with the atmosphere of war!

Guanzhong is slightly better, although there are also many rumors circulating in the streets and alleys, but on the whole, public opinion is not too surprised by Chen Xuan's expected rebellion.

In addition, after the autumn, first Liu Bang, the son of heaven, led the army to go out and took away most of the young and strong laborers in Guanzhong, and then the crown prince Liu Ying renovated the Zhengguo Canal and took away the only remaining strong laborers in Guanzhong, mainly the surrounding areas of Chang'an, which also made Chang'an close to the left, and it was a little cool.

It was in this cool and extremely comfortable atmosphere that Queen Lu Pheasant's phoenix chariot quietly stopped in front of the mansion of the prime minister of the dynasty: Xiao He.

Respectfully invited Lu Pheasant to the first place, Xiao He walked to the west seat with a light smile on his face, and sat down on his knees.

On the other hand, Lu Pheasant, who was sitting upright, faintly revealed a little contemplation on his face.

After being silent for a moment, Xiao He didn't mean to take the initiative to speak, and Lu Pheasant couldn't help but smile slightly, and then looked at Xiao He meaningfully.

"Yesterday, Hangu sent back the military report, and the marquis can know what the military report is talking about?"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's words, Xiao He's smile on his face froze.

Military newspapers?

Now, in the absence of most of the ministers of the Chang'an court, there is a military newspaper that bypasses Prime Minister Xiao He and is directly sent to Queen Lu Pheasant?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao He also came back to his senses: the 'military newspaper' in Lu Pheasant's mouth probably did not refer to the military newspaper sent back to Chang'an through normal channels.

Thinking about this, Xiao He straightened his face slightly, put on that warm and elegant smile again, and shook his head slightly.

But seeing Lu Pheasant sigh a little with feelings, he immediately muttered meaningfully: "It is said that Peng Yue, the king of Liang, said that he was sick and refused to respond to His Majesty's call·······"

"Hmmm······"

"I'm afraid that tomorrow, when Chen Feng is in turmoil, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, or should he also be guilty of His Majesty?"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's words, Xiao He's heart finally became a little heavy.

Especially when he heard Lu Pheasant bite the word 'Yidang' and emphasize it slightly, Xiao He finally couldn't maintain that elegant smile, and his face sank.

Seeing Xiao He like this, Lu Pheasant only smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Xiao He's eyes, there was a slight self-deprecation.

"Alas~"

"In just a few years, Xiao He, who was loyal and honest in the past, has become the person who hides his heart and does not speak to me like he is now?"

"In the future, as soon as the palace car is driven, the prince will ······"

Speaking of this, Lu Pheasant quietly stopped talking, only smiled bitterly and shook his head again and again.

Hearing Lu Pheasant's almost undisguised 'threat', Xiao He's heart was full of emotions, and he finally smiled helplessly.

"The queen is here, if she has anything to say, she will say it bluntly."

"The minister's age is close to ancient times, and the longitudinal speech can not be complete, waiting for Your Majesty for a hundred years, the grass outside the minister's mound may also be as high as Zhangba······"

As he spoke, Xiao He didn't forget to open his mouth slightly, revealing four or five missing teeth, and his expression was full of calmness about life, old age, sickness and death.

Seeing Xiao He's attitude, Lu Pheasant's smile froze, and there was a little shame on his face.

Only a moment later, that shame was replaced by an inexplicable solemnity and a sense of mission!

"Even so, I don't do much probing."

"——The Marquis of Yu thinks that if the Marquis of Huaiyin dies in Chang'an, what should he think when His Majesty's class teacher returns to the court?"

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant didn't forget to squint the corners of his eyes slightly, and his gaze was fixed on Xiao He's face: "I heard that some time ago, the Marquis of Jiang returned to Chang'an and was transferred to the Marquis of Jiang with His Majesty's secret order?" ”

"What do you think about this?"

Hearing that Lu Pheasant mentioned Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, Xiao He's heart tightened first!

What do you think of the latter sentence when Lu Pheasant said, 'Zhou Bo returned to Chang'an and sent you His Majesty's secret order?' At that time, Xiao He's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Raising his head slightly, seeing that Lu Pheasant only had a meaningful smile on his face, and nodded slightly to himself, Xiao He thought about it in every possible way, but finally lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but quietly get up from the seat above, put his hands behind his back, paced in front of Xiao He, and looked down condescendingly at Xiao He's face full of embarrassment and confusion.

"I don't dare to speak, so I'll try to speak."

"Your Majesty first used this matter to 'mistakenly' make the Marquis of Ruyin Xiahou Ying listen to it, and then make the Marquis of Quzhou Li Shang hear about it."

"In this way, the Marquis of Qu Zhou remembers the blood feud of the old age, and he must use the 'clan to support the prince' as a fund, and beg me to kill Huaiyin quickly."

"When Your Majesty's class teacher, the secretary of state and the central government will return to Chang'an, and the Marquis of Huaiyin will be killed by me."

"At that time, Your Majesty will be furious and depose me in the name of 'killing Zhongliang'."

"My posterior position is not guaranteed, and my son's throne should also be replaced by King Zhao; In this way, the matter of easy storage in His Majesty's heart is logical! ”

In a tone that seemed to be deduced, but was extremely determined, Lu Pheasant lowered his head and smiled at Xiao He, who was still kneeling on the feast with a tangled face.

"Hou Yu thinks that Qi Ji's foolish woman and Zhao Wang's slave have children, and they may sit firmly in this Liu Han Sheji?"

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant couldn't help bending down slightly, and there was a faint insight in his gaze when he looked at Xiao He.

"If I am not mistaken, the secret order forwarded by His Majesty to the Marquis of Jiang, what he said should be ······"

After killing Huaiyin, the prince helped from the side; And the minister Xiao He, then it can't be stopped? ”
