Chapter 216: Bad Luck or Good Luck
"Please. Xuanyuan made a gesture to Ye Zhiqiu, but his heart was also up and down, now the Xuanyuan Dynasty is an eventful time, don't be in trouble.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, stretched out his hand and raised the Confucian sword in his hand above his head.
In the rows of ministers of His Royal Highness, in the row of positions in the back, a capable old man had a strange face, just now Mr. Zhiqiu seemed to look at him intentionally or unintentionally, this imperial order should not be given to him, right? But it was funny to think about it in my heart, how could he, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, be worthy of the emperor's personal order.
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Lu Xia, and then said: "The emperor has an order, the border desert has been dry for a long time, and water is in urgent need, and the squire of the Ministry of Engineering is dredged the canal to prepare for transporting water, and the Ministry of Troops and Households are fully assisted, so there must be no mistake." ”
Isn't that useless work? Xuanyuan's eyes jumped, the emperor was criticized for repairing the canal in the first place, but it was useless in the end.
The other ministers were also frightened, and even if they let the household department assist, how could they still let the military department assist? This is too out of line.
Gongsun Boyang, the servant of the Ministry of Works, sat on the ground with a butt, it is not feasible to transport water in the canal, this is proved to be true, didn't the emperor push him into the fire pit, if the water transportation failed this time, where would he still have his life.
"The squire of the Ministry of Works is not yet ready to accept the emperor's order. Ye Zhiqiu saw Gongsun Boyang sitting on the ground in fright, and probably knew what he was thinking, but thinking about the one-night conversation with Lu Chen last night, this is a matter of celebrity history, I didn't expect to be a coward, it's a pity.
Gongsun Boyang looked at the people around him, but all the ministers lowered their heads, this is the first order given by the emperor, who dares to disobey it, even if he knows that the Dao is wrong, I am afraid that the emperor will not refute it.
Gongsun Boyang's heart darkened, "The minister receives the order." I hope that for the sake of being a branch of the emperor, I will only die by myself, and I will not implicate my descendants, and I don't know where I offended the new emperor, and I will be the first to cut him.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Gongsun Boyang, who had a gray face, and said in his heart, this person is really lucky.
"The Human Emperor ......," Ye Zhiqiu said, "This time the water transportation will draw a large number of fire-type monks from the Ministry of War, obey the orders of the Ministry of Industry, and hope to approve it." ”
What the hell is the new emperor thinking? The ministers muttered in their hearts, confused, this is too nonsense.
Emperor Xuanyuan was also confused, what is this going to do, fire monk? This is too strange, whether he is allowed or not, if he is approved, I am afraid that this Ministry of Works, who has always had something to do next to him, will have no life, but if not, this is the emperor's first order......
Xuanyuan looked at Ye Zhiqiu, Taixue Palace should not be messing around, but when he saw Ye Zhiqiu cast a look, this reassured him?
"Accurate!" Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's eyes, Xuanyuan made up his mind, he didn't think that the Taixue Palace would make such a fool of the people and money, he believed in the Taixue Palace and not the new emperor.
"Mr. Zhiqiu, we haven't played against me for many days, and I hope to stay in a game with me after the next dynasty. Xuanyuan was really itching, what did that reassuring look mean.
"Good. Ye Zhiqiu also knew that the Daoist Emperor would definitely keep him, and he felt uneasy if he didn't ask clearly.
"If there is anything to discuss, let's retreat if there is nothing to do. Xuanyuan said with some anxiety.
Originally, there were a few people who still had some trouble, but when they thought of it, the emperor's order was suppressed.
Everyone withdrew from the hall one after another, only Gongsun Boyang was still a little stupid.
Ye Zhiqiu came to the palace with the emperor, and before he had time to salute in a hurry, he heard the emperor ask eagerly: "Mr. Zhiqiu, what is the emperor doing here?" He had to be anxious, if the emperor and the emperor disagreed, he would collapse first without a foreign enemy.
Ye Zhiqiu thought about the wording and said, "Congratulations to the Emperor." ”
Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, they were talking about the emperor, how could they congratulate him, his heart moved, could it be ......
Ye Zhiqiu continued: "The Emperor Dao who has plagued Xuan Huan for several generations has already taken countermeasures, and the talent of the Emperor is really rare. ”
Sure enough, Xuanyuan was overjoyed, but how to use the fire monk to solve the problem of water transportation, and said busily: "What method did the emperor think of?
Ye Zhiqiu said unhurriedly: "The emperor was inspired by a thing to come up with a way to transport water, and the fire cultivator called it precisely for the purpose of making that thing. ”
"What is it? Can it be proven that it is applicable?" Xuanyuan hurriedly asked, if the problem that had not been solved for several generations was solved during his reign, Xuanyuan's influence would definitely increase.
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, I discussed with the emperor last night, and personally tried it, that thing is indeed feasible, and it will not cost the people and money, but there must be a fire monk in the labor army." ”
Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu said so surely, Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, "Mr. Zhiqiu, did you bring that thing you said?"
Ye Zhiqiu said: "You don't have to bring it, as long as there is a fire cultivator here, you can get it anywhere." ”
Oh, the things that are available everywhere can help solve the problem of water transportation that cannot be solved for generations, Xuanyuan is even more curious, "Come on, General Xuanchi is here......" He was a little eager to see what it was.
When the emperor and Mr. Zhiqiu were talking, the emperor and queen Gongsun also got the news, pacing back and forth, why should the emperor embarrass a Ministry of Works, is it because the Ministry of Works' waiter is also surnamed Gongsun, and was instigated by Concubine Huang?
The more Gongsun thought about it, the more wrong it became, the emperor shouldn't have been moved by Concubine Huang to support the second prince, right? Otherwise, how could he not accept Hong'er as a student, no, this matter can't continue like this, she has to go to find out the tone of the human emperor......
When the Gongsun clan came to the emperor's residence, he heard the laughter of Ha Lu and Ha Da Lu from a long distance.
"Why is the Emperor so happy, but what is the joy?" asked Gongsun as he walked into his residence.
Mr. Zhiqiu and another bearded general in fiery red armor saluted when they saw Gongsun coming in.
"Ha Lu Ha, of course it's a great event. Xuanyuan was so happy that he smiled again and again, "By the way, I have to congratulate you, I am afraid that your Gongsun clan will have a person who will go down in history." ”
Who in her Gongsun clan has such great ability, why did she not know what to do, and asked suspiciously: "Who is the emperor talking about?"
"Of course, it's Gongsun Boyang's old thing who is afraid of things, but it's a pity that he picked up a ready-made cheap. Xuanyuan replied.
Who? Gongsun Boyang? Gongsun was completely stunned, why was it completely different from the news she had got, wasn't Gongsun Boyang sent by the emperor to repair the canal to transport water? A name that died not long ago will go down in history? She heard it right.
Gongsun Boyang returned home and gathered his family together to tell the story, as if explaining the aftermath, and immediately wailed.
"Woo, sir...... What can we do about this, or we will go and ask the emperor to raise his noble hand......"
Gongsun Boyang sighed, the emperor's order has been issued, how can he say that he will take it back, isn't that the emperor himself slapped himself in the face? Moreover, in the palace, the emperor also agreed, so I don't know what the emperor wants to target him? Is it for the sake of Liwei? But with his respect as an emperor, where does he still need Liwei, and even if he is Liwei, his little squire of the Ministry of Works is far from enough.
Now is the era of barbarism, everything is still dominated by force, and the Ministry of Industry, which is responsible for civil engineering, water conservancy and agriculture, really has no real power.
"Woo...... Master, master, you have something to say, what can we do, if you go, how can we live!"
Gongsun Boyang looked at the room of people who were crying miserably, if the emperor really had the heart to deal with him, no one in this room might survive, but the sad thing was that he didn't even know the reason.
When the family was wiping away tears and despairing, an old servant ran in from outside: "Master, the emperor's waiter has arrived." ”
"The emperor, yes, we are the grandson side branch, lord, we can also ask the emperor and queen ......"
Gongsun Boyang was stunned for a moment, what will the emperor and queen have to find him at this time? Although his own line is also the line of the Gongsun family, it is only in name, and there is not much intersection with the emperor and queen, and at this time the emperor and queen will offend the emperor and save them? This is not possible, the eldest prince has not yet worshiped Shile, and if he worships his teacher, he will not intercede for them.
Gongsun Boyang didn't dare to slack off, came to the front hall, and saluted: "Mama Zhuang, does the emperor have anything for me to do?"
The person who came was an old woman, this grandmother is not simple, she is the henchman of the emperor, and the emperor and queen have asked this grandmother to give advice on many things.
Mama Zhuang glanced at Gongsun Boyang, and said in her heart, I don't know what luck Lu Dao, this old thing who usually hides to the side when he has something, has taken it, the emperor actually gave him such an opportunity, and he can't call him in his heart in the future.
The old lady leaned to the side and said, "I'm just an old woman running errands in front of the emperor, how can I stand the courtesy of the old man, don't be like this, don't be like this." ”
Gongsun Boyang was stunned for a moment, even if he was older than his officials, he had to bow when he saw this old woman, but why did this old lady seem to be very eager to accept his courtesy, was it afraid that he would be involved with himself and be known by the emperor? The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more so, even if the emperor had no foundation, as long as there were those great Confucians in the Taixue Palace, the emperor would not dare to offend him.
Gongsun Boyang glanced at the room behind, gritted his teeth, and said: "Mama, no matter what the emperor and queen command, I will do it, and please tell the emperor and queen, please take care of my descendants for me for the sake of the same Gongsun line." "He must die, and I only hope that his descendants will have a way to live.
This time, Mama Zhuang was stunned, what kind of words did she say? As if she had given a will, "Where is the old man, I came to comfort the old man on the order of the emperor, and the emperor was afraid that the old man would be too tired of carrying water, so he gave some gold and silver to help the old man turnover." After speaking, he said to the outside, "Someone, bring things in." ”
Gongsun Boyang looked at the boxes of gold and silver brought in, and was stunned, what is going on? Listening to Mama's tone, the emperor and queen are showing favor to him, but how can he be at this time? He is already a mortal person.
"Lord Squire, please order a little, the emperor said that the emperor will definitely allocate funds to Lord Squire, but everyone knows that there have been many disasters recently, and the allocated funds may not be enough, and the transportation of water is a big deal, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, so the emperor has to express it. ”
Gongsun Boyang is getting more and more confused, is this trying to win him over? But is it possible?
How does it feel wrong, the emperor will win over a squire of the Ministry of Works? Will he win over a person who is targeted by the emperor? Will he win over a person who will not live long?
Who is going to tell him what the hell is going on? Today's events are completely beyond his comprehension.
