Chapter 0171 If you want to kill or chop, let your family decide
The prince gave food again, which naturally provoked the tens of thousands of people gathered on the bank of the canal, and once again fell into a carnival of joy.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ying was also moved, and after a simple discussion with Yang Chengyan, he advanced the 'canal opening ceremony' originally scheduled for two days later to the present.
Under the joint witness of tens of thousands of people in Weibei, as well as the officials and slaves of the Shaofu, the Zhengguo Canal, which had been cut off for half a year from the head of the canal, was finally opened again in the spring and March of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty.
The canal repair was finally completed, and the tens of thousands of Guanzhong people who came spontaneously to help Liu Ying renovate Zheng Guoqu thanked Liu Ying repeatedly, and then slowly embarked on the journey home with a large bag of grain and a beautiful vision for the coming year.
Liu Ying did not rush back to Chang'an, but planned to meet this time, and the officials of the young government who participated in the construction of the canal should all be encouraged and condoled.
But before Liu Ying could speak, he saw Yang Chengyan pull Liu Ying aside with a strange expression.
"If the family wants to comfort the officials of the Shaofu Mansion, there is one person, and the family may not be able to see it."
Suddenly hearing Yang Chengyan's words, Liu Ying was subconsciously stunned at first.
When he heard the name 'Yang Li' in Yang Chengyan's mouth, Liu Ying also suddenly realized that he leaned his upper body back slightly.
For Yang Li, Liu Ying's understanding of this young man is not too much.
After all, no matter how you say it, Shaofu Cheng Yang Li is not a famous figure in history.
If Yang Li is a subordinate official of other Jiuqing, such as Feng Changcheng, Tingwei Cheng and other unique official positions, then it would be fine.
But Yang Li's Shaofu has six cheng!
And theoretically, the six Shaofu, including Yang Li, can be regarded as 'Deputy Shaofu'!
As the crown prince, especially the prince of the state who has begun to get involved in the affairs of the court, Liu Ying has always kept in mind the three princes and the nine kings of the court.
For those Jiuqing subordinates who have only one Cheng or two Cheng Cheng, Liu Ying can barely remember their candidates.
But there are six officials in Shaofu, and all of them are 'deep faces' who have never left their names in history, if Liu Ying knows all about these six 'deputy Shaofu', it will undoubtedly be embarrassing.
As for Yang Chengyan, as a dignified young minister, why he should cheapen an adjutant under him on such an occasion that is obviously to be praised, Liu Ying also knows in his heart.
——In the past winter, the one who always saddled up the horse by Yang Chengyan's side and assisted Yang Chengyan to stop the officials and slaves and go to find wicker and gravel was Yang Li, one of the six masters of Shaofu.
In the past month or so, Yangchengyan has returned to Chang'an because of the 'Shaofu official grain and rice', and the repair of Zheng Guoqu was also handed over to Yang Li by Yangchengyan.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang Li's teeth were too young and he didn't have a big background, just Yang Chengyan's support would be enough for Yang Li to sit firmly in the position of 'Quasi-Shaofu'.
And such a young man from a humble background, who climbed to the center step by step with his own efforts, and was appreciated by Shaofu Qingyang Chengyan, Liu Yingzi was also interested in meeting.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Ying agreed, he saw that Yang Chengyan stubbornly invited Liu Ying to a wide cloth tent, and dropped a sentence of 'stay at home', and disappeared completely?
There was nothing to do, and Liu Ying only took Yangcheng as a posterity, wanting to promote the future generations and leave some incense for the clan in the future, so he sat peacefully in the cloth tent.
Taking advantage of Yang Li's lack of work, Liu Ying also secretly thought to herself.
"Kamibayashi ······"
With a slight mutter, Liu Ying shook her head secretly.
"Hmmm······"
"It's not time yet."
"In the past two years, we will first sort out the water conservancy system in Guanzhong and improve the financial situation of the government and the reservoir."
"When you have the money in hand, you will start the construction of Chang'an City and Shanglin Garden······
"Well, there is also salt and iron, and we have to start the layout as soon as possible!"
Talking to herself, Liu Ying's relaxed and happy heart quietly flew 108,000 miles away.
After Liu Ying experienced the 'Changling assassination' incident, Liu Ying's attention has shifted from 'how to keep the storage position' to the planning and layout after his father died and he ascended the throne as emperor in the future.
The reason is very simple: in the Changling assassination, Liu Ying was almost the only beneficiary!
Except for Liu Ying, almost everyone who had anything to do with this matter suffered a devastating blow.
- Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, was trapped and killed in the bell room of Changle Palace by Queen Lu Pheasant and Prime Minister Xiao He for the crime of 'sending a soldier to assassinate the prince'!
- Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, just because he couldn't clear his suspicion of 'killing his brother and taking the heir' in the assassination of Liu Ying, he completely lost the qualification to attack the crown prince's position!
Changling Tian clan, not to mention - just because the location of Liu Ying's assassination was too close to the Tian family's homestead, hundreds of people from the Changling Tian clan were all sent to Dongshi by the angry queen Lu Pheasant.
And the main reason why this series of changes seems so reasonable, without any disobedience, is that in this matter, even Liu Bang, the son of today, was slapped hard!
- Han Xin stabbed Liu Ying, this is the murder of the king!
- Liu Ruyi can't get rid of the suspicion, it is his brother who killed his brother!
——Changlingtian's ambush is even more of a civil offense!
Even if these things are put aside, there is one more thing, so that Liu Bang no matter what, it is impossible to make this matter big and small.
- The place where Liu Ying was assassinated is Changling!
It is the place where the soul inhabits and sleeps a hundred years later!
As the Son of Heaven, especially the founding monarch, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Bang to endure the assassination of his prince in his own mausoleum!
So, Han Shin died;
The Changlingtian clan was extinguished;
Liu Ruyi, although theoretically there is still the possibility of a Jedi reversal, but in fact, the last choice in front of Liu Ruyi is only the option of going to Handan and becoming the king of Zhao.
In addition, Liu Ying's contribution to repairing the canal and stabilizing grain prices is in hand, and the old lady Lu Pheasant is the back of the chair, and the Manchu Dynasty ministers and officials are relied on······
It is no exaggeration to say: The current Liu Ying is no longer the uncrowned prince who can only be helped by his mother half a year ago and can barely sit in the storage position.
Even if there is no Lu Pheasant to protect Liu Ying, even if Liu Bang, the son of heaven, wants to be easy to store and abolish again, it is by no means as simple as an edict and a book.
The storage position is safe, and knowing that her father Liu Bang's lifespan is not much, Liu Ying's attention naturally shifted to the long-term consideration.
For example, water conservancy, salt and iron, as well as the construction of Chang'an City, the establishment of Shanglin Garden, and even in his previous life, his only political achievement - the abolition of the book law, all appeared in Liu Ying's planning.
It was also when Liu Ying was thinking about it that the curtain of the cloth tent was opened by a figure dressed in 'strange costumes'······
·
Looking at the figure in front of him, which he obviously felt familiar, but at the moment he felt inexplicably unfamiliar, the relaxed color on Liu Ying's face suddenly disappeared from his face.
"Ink Yang Li, I would like to bow to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
After a loud salute, I saw Yang Li straighten his waist with a resolute face, bent his legs in order, and knelt in front of Liu Ying.
In those eyes that stared into the depths of her gaze, Liu Ying saw apprehension, excitement, and a faint hint of fear.
But all of this turned into a decision in just a few moments!
Looking at Yang Li's posture, Liu Ying also straightened up with a gloomy face, stepped forward with his hands, and looked at the young man in front of him without sadness and joy, who looked no more than twenty-five or six years old.
Different from the most popular red cowhide boots in Chang'an, Yang Li at this moment only stepped on a pair of brand-new, and really incomprehensible 'production date' hand-knitted straw shoes on his feet.
The coarse linen trousers that are as unique as a farmer, the trouser legs are folded to the knees by Yang Li; The upper body was also a brown short dozen made of coarse linen, and Yang couldn't do enough to bow down, and his neck was already red by the rough collar.
And in this dress, what surprised Liu Ying the most was that she was obviously past the age of crowning, but at this moment, Yang Li did not have a crown hat on his head!
The swarthy black hair was tied up in a walnut-sized bunch on the top of Yang Li's head, and a red cloth bag was tied from the front of his forehead to the back of his head.
was such a mediocre, even slightly shabby dress, which made Liu Ying silent for a long time, and only stepped forward with a calm face, and looked around Yang Li again and again.
If Yang Li is dressed like this, and a long sword is hung on his waist, so that the people in Chang'an City can see it, it will inevitably cause such a complaint.
- Where's another Ranger slacker?
Bah!
It's unlucky!
And the group of 'rangers', at the end of the Warring States period a few decades ago, had another more compelling and louder name······
"Mo Zhai died, and then the Mo family was divided into three points, saying: Xiangfu's ink; Ink of the Symbiois; Deng Ling's ink. ”
"The ink of the Xiangfu clan (Qin Mo) originated from the disciple of Mo Zhai, Xiang Liqin; From Momen, he learned the art of Luban and entered the Han Valley, helping Qin with the power of weapons, but also Qin Wangzheng swept away Liuhe and unified the eight wildernesses. ”
"The ink of the Xiangfu clan (Qi Mo) is derived from the Qi people's Xiangfuzi; He has Mo Zhai's eloquent ability, and he likes to convince people with reason, rather than using a knife. ”
"Deng Ling's family is called: Chu Mo, who wants to walk the world for a chivalrous man, and ······ the ink in his chest."
With a pale face and a burst of 'self-talk', Liu Ying stopped beside Yang Li, lowered her head meaningfully, and looked at Yang Li from the corner of her eyes, and for some reason, her shoulders began to tremble faintly.
"Yang Cheng's clothes today, if there is nothing wrong with Lonely's expectations, it should be from Chu Mo's habits?"
After saying that, Liu Ying turned his head and glanced at Chuntuo at the tent door.
After Chuntuo quietly withdrew from the cloth tent, Liu Ying finally turned around and sat down again.
Seeing that Yang Li still didn't speak, Liu Ying sneered again.
"Hey!"
"It's also weird······"
"In the past, the lonely scholar Uncle Sun Taifu once wore Chu clothes and faced his father and emperor, so that he could get today's grace."
"How?"
"Today, Yang Cheng is also wearing Chu Mo's clothes, and he is lonely in front of him, what do he want?"
"Pets?"
"Or ······"
Listening to Liu Ying's series of whispers that were calm in tone but sent chills down the spine all the time, Yang Li was still silent in an inexplicable shock, and he couldn't ease his nerves for a long time.
——The prince Liu Ying, who is only fifteen years old, actually knows the past of the 'Mo family's three points'!
Not only do you know, but you can even clearly say: after the death of the ancestor Mo Zhai, the Mo family was divided into three branches, where did they go, and what was the core of their academics and thoughts!
If these things were placed fifty years ago, when Qin had not yet unified the world, anyone who had read books and had a little understanding of the affairs of the world would definitely know about them.
If it was twenty years ago, when the First Emperor was still alive, if someone said these words, Yang Li would never feel strange.
——As the only school in the Zhao period that fought against Yang Zhu's doctrine and was synthesized into 'the only two schools in the world', the history of the Mo family is worthy of such recognition!
But now, when the Mo family has been weakened and even on the verge of being cut off, few people know about these things······
finally recovered from the shock of 'the prince actually knows about the Mo family', and after a little reflection of Liu Ying's question, Yang Li reacted: Although the prince has some understanding of the Mo family, I am afraid it is not profound.
Thinking like this, Yang Li secretly calmed down again, and reorganized his face back to before, with that resolute appearance, but he did not get up from the ground.
"Honored by the family."
"The minister's clothes today are not the customs of Chu Mo, but the customs of ink."
A little trembling said a word, and Yang Li's forehead couldn't help but show a little sweat droplets.
"The top of the family said: The Mo family is divided into three parts: the ink of the Xiangfu clan; Ink of the Symbiois; Deng Ling's ink, but this is correct. ”
"However, although there are three points, the clothes of Qin Mo, Qi Mo, and Chu Mo are not careless."
"The sage Mo Zhai once said that I Momen's initiative, saying: Love, non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, thrift, funeral, non-music, Tianzhi, Ming ghosts, non-life."
"The clothing of the ink man follows the article of 'thrift'; all the people of the ink gate should wear brown clothes, but the world is not at peace, and the people of the world are still suffering from hunger, cold, and poverty."
As he spoke, Yang Li couldn't help but take another deep breath, then turned his head sideways with a stiff smile, and looked at the straw sandals on his feet.
"According to the system of "Mozi Saving Use", the minister should be barefoot today."
"However, as a Han minister, in front of the family, the minister does not dare to disturb the order of the monarch and the minister, respect and humility, etiquette, and routine; and learn the words of Mo Zhai, and dare not violate the ink rules of the sages······"
After speaking, seeing that Liu Ying's face was still a face that could not see joy and sorrow, Yang Li finally took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.
"As for what the family asked, the minister didn't dare to say anything."
"The ancestor of the minister is from Qi, and when he was a child, he once had his father's eloquence compared to Qi Mo."
"The latter two succeeded to the throne, and the world suddenly strife; The minister followed his father into the palace of Qi, thinking that Keqing ·······"
Speaking of this, Yang Li gritted his teeth again, and slowly put the arrogant head in front of him, which was a little muddy and wet because of the warmth of early spring.
"Don't dare to hide it from the family: the father of the minister's family, once the guest of Tian Heng, the king of Qi, and even hanged himself in front of the tomb of King Heng of Qi!"
"And the ministers, a few years old, only dared to call themselves Han officials, and did not dare to repeat what they had learned, which is what Mo Zhai said."
"Today, if you get ink clothes to meet your family in person, you will have no regrets if you die!"
"If the family wants to offend the minister, the minister, but please die!!!!!"
