Emperor Jiaqing Chongdao began in the twenty-sixth year of Jiaqing, at first it was just a personal hobby, refining pills to seek longevity, and then indulged in it, out of control, in various places to cultivate Taoist temples, build dojos, Zhai Jiao rituals, reward monks and Taoists, all over the country to collect strange stones and herbs to indiscriminately refine pills, seriously disturb the place, caused a lot of waste. In recent years, he moved to Xiyuan, which is a Taoist view, with all kinds of Taoist facilities, and he does not ask about political affairs during the cultivation period.

On the day that Emperor Jiaqing planned to leave the customs, he fell into a coma because he took too many pills, and dreamed that the white dragon sneaked into the bottom of the river, and he struggled for a long time but couldn't fly. Emperor Jiaqing was sweating all over his body, and he didn't know what was going on. I went out of the customs in advance to ask Yan Yiren, and I said to Cao Shu, who was waiting outside, for two days before leaving the customs.

Yan Yi is a blind man, cultivating the Tao and asking the immortals in Zhongnan Mountain, and the Taoist name is far and wide. Emperor Jiaqing sent people to invite him many times, and only went down the mountain to enter Beijing in the spring of the year before last, and lived in Xiyuan. Yan Ming only immersed himself in cultivation, did not offer prescriptions, did not practice pills, and only answered doubts and questions. He advocates that cultivation is cultivation, fasting is indifferent to fame and fortune, and everything is subject to the Tao Te Ching. Although it is not a fashionable method of cultivation, but the most classical Taoism, Emperor Jiaqing still agrees, and Yan Yi alone with people without dispute, not greedy for fame and wealth, advocating homeopathy and inaction, never befriending foreign ministers, but also won the trust of Emperor Jiaqing.

Emperor Jiaqing entered the cultivation room of the Yanyi people, and the Yanyi people did not see the courtesy, but were still meditating. Because it has been agreed a long time ago, since he is a cultivator, there is no distinction between kings and ministers. Emperor Jiaqing sat down on the Tuanpu next to him, recounted the dream, and waited for his answer.

Silent for a while, "Recently, the Jishui River has skyrocketed, flooding the capital, just like the water trapped in the dragon. The bridge that is intended to be erected is rushed across, like a dragon sinking to the bottom, and it can't turn over. This is a warning to Your Majesty!", Yan Yi is still meditating, his mouth moving and not moving, not disturbed by everything.

Emperor Jiaqing thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "It's not just about repairing the bridge, right?"

"Year after year, year after year, year after year, there is no need to repair a word, so that you have to be warned by heaven, do you still want to be trapped in it?", Yan Yiren reminded with a sigh, but there was still no movement.

"The Taoist is talking about building a new bridge, I don't know if it's in place?", Emperor Jiaqing thought about it, but he still wanted to ask.

"The tree moves the dead and the person moves, the bridge is like a dragon leading water, the river is dredged and the road is wide, and it is inseparable from a word.", Yan Yiyi said a few words, and the smart Emperor Jiaqing suddenly became enlightened.

I've been disturbed for a long time, so I got up and left quietly. Suddenly, I heard a voice: "The dragon is a holy thing, it has to be paid tribute by all the people, Your Majesty will have nobles to help, and you don't know who it is, no one can stop it when it should appear, may Your Majesty cherish it!", as soon as Yan Yiyi finished speaking, he was silent. Jiaqing knows his temperament very well, and he will no longer talk to himself, saying that it is good to be a master, so it is okay to make a mystery.

Emperor Jiaqing returned to his repair room and sat down to ponder what Yan Yi said. The warning from heaven is very clear, and I want to know who the noble person is. The people around me have gone through it, and none of them fit. I don't bother to think about it now, and continue to meditate and practice.

Two days later, he returned to the Qinzheng Palace, and in the afternoon, the Jiaqing Emperor Xuan cabinet personnel were respectfully seen. Cao Shu, the first assistant of the cabinet, Qin Yunhou, the second assistant, Luo Yan, the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, Ruan Zi, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and Xia Zhan, the secretary of the ministry, came in turn, and knelt down and shouted together: "The ministers meet the emperor!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray!", Emperor Jiaqing just waved his hand, and the five of them all knew how to get up together. Cao Shu is the first from the left, Qin Yunhou is the first from the right, Luo Yan is the second from the left, Ruan Zi is the second from the right, and Xia Zhan is the third from the left, standing respectfully.

At this time, the five people found that there was Xiong Daoyun standing on the left side of Emperor Jiaqing, and it was not strange to see it, he was a close confidant of Emperor Jiaqing, and he must have come to discuss spending money. Xia Zhan knew in his heart that it was the case, but this was the first time he had a face-to-face discussion with Jiaqing, so he couldn't help but feel a little unconfident, but fortunately, his father-in-law was there, and he couldn't say a few words if he wasn't the protagonist.

First, an urgent backlog of official duties was agreed. To the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Pan Guohong's repair of the Yongji Bridge. Emperor Jiaqing glanced at it a few times and asked, "What does the cabinet think?".

Seeing that it was the emperor who asked, Cao Shu came out and waved his hand and said: "This book has old precedents to check, but Xiong Shangshu said that he has no money, and he has to ask the emperor to call the shots.", After speaking, he stood respectfully in place.

"I don't have any money, so I have to focus on disaster relief first, can I repair the bridge later?", Xiong Daoyun quickly answered. It seems that the emperor should mean this, otherwise he would not let him see him first.

Seeing that no one replied, Xia Zhan, who had come to the cabinet to help, wanted to show himself well, so he dared to stand up and play: "Pay 100,000 taels of silver first, the Ministry of Industry will start construction first, and then find a way to pay for it later.", as long as the work starts, there is himself and his father-in-law, and he is afraid that the court owes silver.

"Nope! The deficit that fell last year, the snow disaster in Beiguan in the spring, and now the capital and Jiangnan are floods, if you don't relieve it in time, you are responsible for the chaos?", Xiong Daoyun is iron-hearted, and the emperor is not afraid to support him.

Xia Zhan didn't dare to confront Xiong Daoyun openly and shrank back. Cao Shu was silent, he saw that Emperor Jiaqing also meant this, and it was useless to say more. Qin Yunhou was silent, and Luo Yan was also watching.

At this time, Ruan Zi, the head of the Hanlin Academy, slowly stood up and saluted: "If it is broken, it will be repaired, and if it is repaired, it will be destroyed again, and so much silver will be spent there. Emperor! I have to check, my heart hurts!", Ruan Zi also came to the cabinet to help, he was old and in poor health, and he coughed non-stop as soon as he finished speaking, and Liu Quan, who was close to the head of the hospital, immediately went to help him and patted him on the back.

Luo Yan, the imperial envoy of the left capital, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty! The minister suggested finding a new bridge site first, and never repairing it again in situ, since there is no money to repair it next year, it is not too late.", this is also a cliché, and it will be pushed back by Cao Shu and his gang, but Luo Yan still has to say.

Sure enough, Xia Zhan immediately stood up and retorted: "It's easy to say, the cost of building a new bridge is double, and the road has to be repaired, and the cost has to be doubled, so the money comes?", it is a good opportunity to prevaricate with money, how could Xia Zhan let it go.

"Your Majesty! No matter where you cultivate, I suggest that it is better to repair next year.", Xiong Daoyun insisted that he had seen it, and did not stay with Cao Shu and Xia Zhan.

Emperor Jiaqing didn't make a sound, look at Cao Shu. Cao Shu knew that he had to speak by himself, so he said very flatteringly, "It's not a very urgent matter, next year is the most appropriate!, but it is still subject to the emperor.", can occupy the position of the first assistant for seven years, and does not speculate on the mind of Emperor Jiaqing, it is impossible to do it.

But when Emperor Jiaqing's eyes reached Qin Yunhou, he who had not spoken, immediately waved his hand and said: "A westward road has been abolished for a year, where is the face of the court, and it is better to accept the opinions of the people.", Qin Yunhou is not a vegetarian, Emperor Jiaqing is not interested in the two plans, it is obvious that he wants to repair, and collect it with the best plan, which plays a role in getting twice the result with half the effort.

Emperor Jiaqing's eyes were fixed on him, and Qin Yunhou knew that he agreed with his proposal. Hurriedly followed the train of thought and said: "Issue the text, if you want to be an official above the fourth grade in Beijing, you will build the Guangji Bridge and make a statement, there will always be a good plan.", after speaking, he looked at Emperor Jiaqing.

How can Emperor Jiaqing's mind be seen through at once, avoid his eyes, and ask everyone: "Is there a good way, even if it is immature, you can talk about it!", looking at you with burning eyes, this is the powerful minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty..

Cao Shu saw that Qin Yunhou had stolen the limelight, and there was no need to open his mouth if there was no good proposal. Ruan Yu has not yet come to his senses, and there is nothing to say. Xia Zhan and Xiong Daoyun are still the same method, insisting on what they have seen. Luo Yan was quick-witted, and said: "Since there are no good proposals, brainstorming is the best.", Luo Yan is supporting Qin Yunhou, the two are still on the same front, not like Ruan Yu, who is old and relies on the old and sells the old, he is not relying on both sides, maybe Emperor Jiaqing needs such a person.

Emperor Jiaqing was silent for a while, and he was also a little annoyed. He waved his hand and said, "Just do it!" For a period of half a month, the officials of the four grades in Beijing can fold their advice and discuss the good ones.", after everyone listened, it was time to withdraw, and after the salute, they still withdrew from the Qinzheng Hall in order.
