Chapter 684: May my cousin and my courtiers not change their original intentions
"Master, this embankment ......"
No matter how Rao doesn't understand hydrology, Yerin also knows that it is impossible for such a dilapidated embankment to stop the flood!
The rain slapped on Jun Tianlan's cheeks, and his gaze looked extremely cold: "This long causeway is based on wooden piles, and there are stones on it, and then the stones are tightly connected with iron ingots, and lime, glutinous rice, and tung oil are poured into the cracks of the ditch. ”
Wind and rain.
Ye Rin wiped the rain on his face and continued his words: "But I don't know how many years this embankment has been repaired, and the master easily knocked on the cracks, and the wooden stakes below have long been rotten. ”
As he spoke, he glanced worriedly at the people on both sides of the strait: "How wide is the heart of these people, how can they live here so confidently and boldly?" ”
While the master and servant were talking, a flat boat came out of the reeds in the heavy rain, and the egret stood at the bow of the boat wearing a straw hat, happily: "The two of you really understand people! Xiaosheng estimates that this levee will probably not be able to survive this rainy season. Last year, villagers on both sides of the strait jointly wrote to Mu Taishou, asking him to move them to a safe place. However, Mu Taishou repeatedly assured that he had asked a hydrographer to survey it, and there would be no problem with the embankment, and each family sent four taels of silver to make up for it, and the villagers did not make any more trouble. ”
Ye Rin couldn't help but be angry: "Mu Qinghe's appearance is too ugly, and he refuses to allocate funds to resettle the people, so he sends them away with four taels of silver!" The gold and silver treasures are not brought in life or in death, what is he doing in his death?! If the levee really festers......"
I don't know how many innocent people on both sides of the strait lost their lives in the flood!
Jun Tianlan's heart was filled with coldness, and without saying a word, he turned his horse's head and returned to Weicheng.
After dinner, Jun Shuying took Shen Miaoyan back to Taishou Mansion.
The little girl bathed in the bath, sat on the big chair and played with a night pearl boredly.
Two maids stood behind her, helping her to dry her hair in strands, applying fragrant rose head oil, and gently spreading her long hair around her waist.
One of them praised: "The girl's hair is black and dense, soft and smooth to the touch, so beautiful." ”
Shen Miaoyan listened, but remembered the appearance of the person with his hair scattered and sitting in the lamplight reading a book.
She lowered her eyes and put the night pearl on the desk: "It's not early, I should go to bed." Get out of here. ”
Seeing that her eyebrows were gloomy, the two looked at each other, saluted and withdrew.
As soon as the little girl kicked off her embroidered shoes and lay down on the bed, Jun Shuying suddenly pushed the door in, carrying a tassel lantern painted with a pattern of Chang'e running to the moon, and a slight smile on the corner of her lips: "You have already fallen asleep like this?" Get up, it's early summer, and it's a good time to enjoy the flowers. ”
Shen Miaoyan closed his eyes, and secretly calculated how likely it was to meet that person in the garden, although he calculated and calculated, he didn't think he would meet that person, but he still had a glimmer of hope and got out of bed and put on his shoes.
The Taishoufu Garden is built magnificently, planted with strange flowers and trees, and two lights are hung on the head every few steps, which looks like a fire tree and silver flowers from a distance, so gorgeous that people can't take their eyes off.
On the night of early summer, the flowers in the garden are really blooming, peonies, irises, violets, calendulas, etc. compete in the cool night breeze, the lights will light up the sea of flowers, and the mist in the distance covers the smoke willow painting bridge, the wind curtain and green curtain, the pavilions and pavilions, and the rockeries are stacked, which makes people feel that they have strayed into the fairyland.
Shen Miaoyan sniffed the fragrance of flowers, her heart was comfortable, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were also dyed with a smile.
Jun Shuying carefully observed her expression, and when she saw her like this, the smile on the corner of her lips became more and more beautiful.
Just now the two maids reported that she seemed unhappy, and he thought of some means to make her happy again.
If under Jun Tianlan's nose, let her forget him, let her no longer be sad and happy because of him, and have any emotions of joy, anger and sorrow, then this trip, he Jun Shuying can be regarded as really benefiting a lot.
The two were strolling among the flowers, when suddenly the intermittent sound of the zither sounded from the corner of the garden.
If you complain like admiration, if you cry like a complaint, the aftermath is lingering, and it is endless.
"Did you hear that?" Shen Miaoyan looked up.
Jun Shuying bowed slightly: "It's a lovesick song." The lack of qi in the middle of the music shows that the player is weak and is lingering on the sickbed......"
He paused, and then said, "It should be a young woman who keeps an empty boudoir alone." ”
Shen Miaoyan raised her eyebrows, and there was uncontrollable adoration in her eyes: "You can hear this?" ”
Jun Shuying's vanity swelled, and even his voice was dyed with a layer of pride: "I have been immersed in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child, and I am the most proficient in music, so I can naturally hear it." Which **** coaxes me to be in a good mood, I will play a song for you, so that you can open your eyes, what is the real three days around the beam. ”
"Bragging!"
The two laughed and talked as they walked all the way forward.
In the southeast corner of the garden, an octagonal pavilion is hidden behind the vegetation.
Jun Tianlan was discussing with Gu Qinyuan and other staff members in the pavilion.
Gu Qinyuan's face was pale, and there was no blood between his lips: "...... My cousin came here for meritorious service. If there is a problem with the embankment in the northern suburbs, and the houses on both sides of the river are scattered during the flood, can my cousin take advantage of this to participate in the corruption of the officials of the Muqing River and disregard the lives of the people? ! If you can uproot them, King Xuan's power in the south will be reduced to zero, and the people of the south will be grateful for the kindness of their cousin, and they will definitely support you! ”
Jun Tianlan turned his Moyu wrench, and his expression was awe-inspiring: "This king is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, but Qinyuan, this king can't let the thousands of people on both sides of the strait ignore it." The embankment in the northern suburbs must be repaired before the next rainstorm! ”
"Such a good opportunity...... Gu Qinyuan's face turned even paler, he couldn't say any more, he took a sip of hot tea and said no more.
"By tomorrow morning, hand over your plan for repairing the levee into the hands of this king." Jun Tianlan glanced at the others, his voice cold.
These people are all good at water control among his staff, and it shouldn't be difficult to get them to repair the dam.
After receiving the order, the staff members took their leave.
Jun Tianlan got up, stood beside the pavilion pillar with his hands in his hands, and quietly stared at the lights in the distance.
Gu Qinyuan stared at his back, the cool breeze blew, but somehow, his cheeks were a little hot.
After pondering for a long time, he frowned: "Just now, it was the younger brother who lost his words." If behind this feat, there are the bones of thousands of people on both sides of the strait, then the position of the crown prince is too disgraceful. ”
As he spoke, he got up and made a gesture to Jun Tianlan.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations...... Isn't this what we agreed on when we were kids? Jun Tianlan's voice was low and clear, but it contained a different kind of profound power, "Qin Yuan, I, I don't want to be an emperor like him." ”
Indulging corrupt officials for the sake of a woman's pillow wind, but still wanting to unify the four seas, what is the difference between a fool's dream.
Gu Qinyuan bowed his head and paused word by word: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people." The younger brother will always accompany his cousin. I hope that from the past to the present, from now to the future, my cousins and ministers will not change their original intentions. ”
After he finished speaking, he solemnly arched his hand and left the Octagonal Pavilion.
Jun Tianlan stopped for a long time, and was about to leave, but saw two figures strolling from the flowers.
