Chapter 76: Heart-punishing

At the mention of this, Rongji's face stiffened for a moment. Strengthen the embankment, and someone did mention this matter in the court a few days ago.

But as soon as this matter was mentioned, the people in the household department took the lead in jumping out and crying poor. This is still small, after all, they all come out to cry poor when people in the household encounter something, and it seems that it has become a common practice for them to cry poor. Anyway, in the end, even if they don't want to, the money will still come out when it should be.

However, the problem lies in the candidate for the repair of the river embankment, and someone wrote a letter proposing that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu go in person. However, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu admits that he is old and difficult to run.

Then the courtiers quarreled again, it stands to reason that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu can't go, and the Ministry of Industry still has a waiter, so they won't be unable to find anyone.

However, one of the two waiters of the Ministry of Industry is still young and difficult to convince the public, and the other is a person in charge of the party, although he is old, he is newly transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and he is not familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and he cannot serve the public.

If you ask either of the two to go, you won't be able to do this, but if you ask both of them to go together, who should be the master? When something big happens, someone always needs to come up with an idea.

Taifu's people are busy with the imperial examination, and they can't draw extra people at the moment. This matter has been arguing in the court for several days, but no result has been reached.

Seeing that July is approaching, if we don't send people to strengthen the embankment, when the Li River bursts, countless people will be displaced.

Rong Zhi's face was reluctant, "The DPRK has this intention, but the candidate has not yet been finalized." It is estimated that it will be a few more days. ”

"It's going to be a few more days-" Li Shengxing frowned slightly, worry appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid that it will be delayed, and if it drags on any longer, even if there is silver, it will not be able to be strengthened." ”

After all, it's not that the silver can be started as soon as it goes, and if it is peeled off layer by layer, how much silver can be left? Not to mention the need to do things.

"I have a lot of talents, can't I pick out someone?" Li Shengxing's face was full of doubts, his charming eyes were full of incomprehension, and the words he said were extremely ironic.

The abundance of talents is just a whitewash of the peace and a way to deceive the common people.

Take this as an example, those who are capable and qualified don't want to go - don't talk about old age. No matter how old the Ministry of Industry of Northern Qi is, it is no older than Meng Songyan, and Meng Gongshang can run around a lot, why can't the Ministry of Industry Shangshu?

It's just because the Ministry of Industry is old and refined, and he doesn't want to offend people, and he doesn't want to smash things in his own hands. You must know that every time a river embankment is built, I don't know how many officials will put their ideas on silver, and if one of them is not good, it will either offend people or do bad things. In addition, it is far away to go to Lijiang, the road is rushing, the road is not very peaceful, and bandits are rampant, so the Ministry of Industry is reluctant to go.

As for the remaining ones, it is difficult for them to convince the public. The age is right, but the ability is not enough. Even if all three conditions are met, it is possible that he is a corrupt person.

It's a huge Northern Dynasty, but when you encounter one or two things, you can't get anyone. Mrs. Meng could have gone out of Wangjing in person, but he left the central government, and the three provinces and six ministries were in one matter, so who would take the idea?

Li Shengxi's seemingly ignorant words fell into the ears of Rong Zhi's people, but he had to continue to whitewash the peace for the imperial court, and said something that he didn't believe very much, "The imperial court has its own considerations when it does things." Reinforcing the river embankment is not a trivial matter, and it is reasonable to have a lot of consideration, so the three ladies don't have to worry. ”

"Although the concubine is a woman, she also knows that there is a saying called 'without further ado'. Many of the concubine's brothers still have relatives on both sides of the Li River, and it is unknown whether they can wait until the imperial court considers it. I don't know if the water in the Li River can't flood Wangjing, so the officials in Beijing can think about it in every possible way, and if it is imminent, it should be able to ...... soon."

Speaking of this, Li Shengxun's face suddenly turned pale, as if she realized that what she said was some "rebellious" words, she looked at Rong Zhi with anxiety and trepidation, "The concubine is speechless, and I hope that Lang Junnian is just a deep woman in the concubine's body, ignorant and ignorant, don't blame the concubine for this." ”

"The three ladies don't have to be like this." Rong Zhi said reluctantly, his face was not very good, not because of his angry words.

It's because some time ago, Gu Lingxu went thousands of miles to Wangjing to repair books, and when he mentioned the construction of the embankment, what he said was very different from what Liang Yin said.

In particular, the sentence "the water of the Li River cannot flood Wangjing" is exactly the same.

At that time, the saint's face changed greatly, but he still suppressed his emotions. However, many courtiers, after hearing Gu Lingxu's words, did not think about introspection, but instead wrote to impeach Gu Lingxu, bluntly saying that he was "arrogant and domineering, and no one has the courtesy of a minister".

Someone helped Gu Lingxu speak, but he was also refuted by the people under the party, and even a few direct ministers were demoted because of this.

Gu Lingxu was indeed rude, but what he said was not unreasonable, and now Liang Yin said it, it can be seen that this is not the idea of one or two people.

I'm afraid that most of the people on the north bank of the Li River think so.

"The lady's words are reasonable, but it's better not to be easy to mention in front of others." Rong Zhi nodded.

Li Shengxi saw that his mind had not yet stabilized, so he came to comfort people first, and he only thought it was very interesting.

She and Gu Lingxu are naturally not so sharp-hearted, and they can happen to say exactly the same thing, but Gu Lingxu's incident is quite noisy, and the rumors outside the inner palace are all boiling, although it will not reach the people, but she can easily inquire about it.

Of course, she naturally wouldn't just say these words to Rong Zhi. She had already instructed Wu Yang to let the people of the southwest know what Gu Ling had said.

For the people of the southwest, the prestige of the Marquis of Xiangcheng is even greater than that of the imperial court, and Gu Lingxu's words are more than enough to make the Northern Qi lose the hearts of the people.

Sometimes the survival of a country does not depend on foreign enemies, but more on the support of the people.

When Rong Zhi was arguing with Zhan Qirui in Xishi that day, he said that he should pay more attention to the people's livelihood, and Rong Zhi himself was very clear about the people's feelings. But this is not enough, she wants to turn out the rotten flesh under the splendid beauty of Northern Qi over and over again, not only for Rong Zhi, but also for Northern Qi.

"The concubine understands, thank you Lang Jun for mentioning it." Li Shengxun seemed to have palpitations, but his face was worried, and he didn't know if it was because of his gaffe just now, or because of the fact that the imperial court had not elected someone for a long time.

Rong Zhi smiled reluctantly, it took a lot of effort to suppress the depression in his heart, he looked at the beautiful scenery in the mountains, and continued: "It will take some time for the food to be moved to the mountains. Besides, it's still early, so it's better to go for a walk in the mountains, which can not only send hard thoughts, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains, and save sitting for a long time. ”

Li Shengxing nodded, and said, "In this case, the concubine asked Liujin to help." ”

The mountain didn't know what bureau was waiting for her, so she kept it outside, not only to prevent it from being in danger, but also to keep it as a backhand at a critical moment.

Rong Zhi hurriedly excused himself and said: "Rong set up a banquet, how can he bother the lady?" ”

Li Shengxing shook his head, "What's not to worry about." Speaking of which, keeping Lang Jun in the concubine is just a gesture, but Lang Jun is a life-saving grace in the concubine. If you want to set up a banquet, it should be a concubine who sets up a banquet, and now it is the fault of the concubine to let Lang Jun break the fee, but it is just to let the people under him help. Why should Lang Jun be polite? ”
