As soon as the emperor sat down and was about to rest for a while, Grandpa Qian came in with a secret report.

Sure enough, the emperor also asked: "What about the previous one?" ”

Father-in-law Qian copied Wei Zhishan's explanation.

The envelope was opened, and inside was a piece of paper folded in half.

Looking at the content written on the face of the book, it should be Meng Changqing's New Year's message to the prefect of Liangzhou.

The emperor unfolded the paper to read the contents on it, and after only looking at a few lines, he frowned, and immediately opened the official text next to it.

I saw that it was written: The people are unclothed and have no fixed dwelling, and the children feed themselves on the soil. In winter, hunger and cold are combined, and wars continue from spring to autumn.

The people do not have a day of peace in their lives, and they do not have a pure land after death.

With such a tragic scene, Meng Changqing wrote two pages in succession.

Later, it was written that if the people of Beishan County wanted to survive, they had to seize the time to build the city wall.

And building on the original site is not cost-effective, and there are many hidden dangers, so it is better to push the city wall forward.

The emperor read the official document and then looked at the piece of paper, which wrote the location of the new city wall, the remaining time to build the wall, and the materials in short supply.

After reading it in this way, you can understand why the tenth secret report will rush into Beijing along with the Liangzhou prefect's transcript.

This Meng Changqing really couldn't be idle for a moment.

"Go and call Taifu and Liubu Shangshu to come over."

"Yes." The chamberlain who was passing the message next to him bent down and retreated at a normal speed, but was suddenly urged by the emperor, "Hurry up!" ”

The waiter was frightened and hurriedly quickened his pace.

The emperor paced in the imperial study, and asked Gonggong Qian to take the map of Liangzhou in front of him and find out the site of the city wall that Meng Changqing said.

"It's really clever to stop like this." The emperor clapped his hands from time to time.

"Changqing, Changqing, don't just say nice things."

The emperor was in a hurry, and before the six Shangshu arrived at the yamen, they were hurriedly carried back to the palace gate by a sedan chair.

Several Shangshu were confused, and when they entered the palace, they walked together and asked each other: "Do you know what Your Majesty is in a hurry to do?" ”

Asked and asked, no one knew why.

When they entered the imperial study and saw the emperor's expression, several adults suddenly felt a little familiar.

It seems that when Meng Changqing tossed from the East Palace to the Huangzhuang two years ago, His Majesty also had such an expression.

I still remember that His Majesty had a headache at the beginning, and the scolding in his mouth did not stop, but his behavior was stunned and did not stop at all.

"See Your Majesty."

The emperor's gaze briefly moved away from the map, "Zhong Aiqing sits." ”

"Your Majesty summoned the ministers and others to come, what important things to discuss?"

The emperor didn't even raise his head, "I'll talk about it when the Taifu comes." ”

Several Shangshu sat at the bottom, and it was inevitable to guess in their hearts.

Calling all the six Shangshu over, and inviting the old lady again, it seems that this is not a small matter.

It's not like Meng Changqing can make it.

Some people guess that His Majesty wants to completely abolish the three-province system? After all, this dynasty followed the regulations of the previous dynasty and established three provinces, but in order to avoid the crisis of the previous dynasty and prevent the power of the ministers from becoming dominant, the three provinces have never established governors.

Probably His Majesty has made up his mind to change.

Taifu came a little slower, he is old now, and he only comes to the court occasionally, and the palace attendants invited him from home.

As soon as the people arrived, the emperor passed on the congratulatory message written by Meng Changqing, "All Aiqing take a look at what is written on it." ”

Don't talk about looking at the content inside, just look at the words on the face: Beishan County Commander Meng Changqing congratulated Shangguan on the joy of the New Year.

How? Meng Changqing was too hard to pat himself in Liangzhou and was sued by the prefect of Liangzhou?

This prefect of Liangzhou, speaking of which is still General Meng's old acquaintance, even has to complain to His Majesty about this trivial matter, which is really intolerant.

But when he opened the content inside, his mental activity changed suddenly, okay, what a Meng Changqing, he didn't have a time to settle down.

knew that His Majesty asked him to go to Liangzhou to hide from the Xiao family, but looking at his posture, he had to get a Beishan County to come out.

The congratulatory messages were circulated one by one and returned to the emperor's imperial case.

"What do you think?" The Emperor asked.

Several Shangshu looked at the old lady, and they hadn't figured out the emperor's mind yet, so no one wanted to say it first.

They did not say, and the emperor began to roll out by name, "the military department." ”

Wan Shan, the secretary of the military department, said cautiously, "Back to Your Majesty, Changqing's intention is beneficial to the frontier, and the ministers support it, but where to choose the new site must be carefully discussed." ”

The emperor passed the paper down again, and the household department was in a hurry, and Meng Changqing only stayed in Beishan County for a few days? He dared to ask for so many things.

He also built a forty-mile city wall in two months, and I have never heard of anyone who has this ability, this kid is too arrogant.

Relying on the merits of his father and brother and the favor of His Majesty, it is really disappointing to take national affairs as a child's play.

"Zhu Aiqing, I see that your face is not good."

Hube Shangshu stood up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, in recent years, there have always been wars at the border gates, and the treasury is not rich. In addition, although the population has increased in the past two years, most of the growth is in the south, and the population in the north has not increased.

The minister thought that what Changqing asked was inappropriate, and the minister did not believe that the forty-mile city wall could be built in two months, so it was better to let him ...... peace."

The emperor raised his hand and directly interrupted him, "Bring the map up." ”

The location of the city wall mentioned by Meng Changqing, the emperor has already marked it with cinnabar on the map, "Aiqing, let's take a closer look to see if it is necessary to build that wall." ”

The military department Shangshu saw that this position was really good, "Your Majesty!" If this wall is built, it will be of great benefit to Liangzhou! ”

"What do other Aiqing think?" The emperor asked.

"What Master Shi said is extremely true." Several of the ministers present could see the benefits, and they all knew how difficult it would be to build such a wall.

"So, how do you build it?" The Emperor asked again.

None of the six Shangshu wanted to be the first to speak.

"If this matter can't be discussed, the Aiqing will stay here with me."

The official secretary said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's view, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Works." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately agreed, "The minister also thinks that this should be the case, the construction of the project is the business of the Ministry of Industry, and the elders and young people are light, so it is more risky to let him preside over it, and it is not as stable as the officials of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Engineering didn't want to take on this errand, and the key was not to do it well, "Your Majesty, although the construction of the project is the responsibility of my Ministry of Engineering, but the location of Beishan County is special, so it is better to hand it over to the Ministry of War." ”

Taifu hadn't spoken since he came in, and sat on the chair and asked Father-in-law Qian for the two things that Meng Changqing had written, and looked at them repeatedly in front of him.

"Your Majesty." The secretary of the military department didn't want to take it, "My military department really can't transfer manpower." ”

"I see." The emperor said, "They all say that it is good to do this, but they don't want to take the lead in doing it, so what use do I want you to do?" ”

The six Shangshu knelt down in unison, "The ministers are guilty." ”

"Since Changqing is already in Beishan County, he must understand the local situation, can have this plan, and guarantee that it can be completed in two months, why doesn't Your Majesty believe in Changqing?" The military department Shangshu decisively launched the household department, "I wish the adults don't blindly cry poor, my Liang will not be poor to this point, what Changqing wants, the court can still get it, right?" ”

"Your Majesty." As soon as Hubu Shangshu was about to speak, he looked up and saw that the emperor's face was not good, and these things that Meng Changqing wanted were indeed not much for the entire Liang, so he immediately changed his rhetoric, "You can take it." ”
