Chapter Ninety-Seven

The first time he went out to run a business, Jiang Shu was anxious and looking forward to it.

When her carriage left Shangjing, Yu Zhengfang received the news.

"She's going to run a business? Where to go? Yu Zheng stood up excitedly.

The dark guard replied: "Jiangnan." ”

Shangjing is thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it may take more than a month to go.

She is a woman, although she has brought guards, but she has been away for so long and so long, Yu Zheng has never been at ease.

After pacing for a moment, Yu Zheng asked the secret guard to follow to protect Jiang Shu, while he rummaged through a pile of paperwork to find something.

"How can Jiangnan be so peaceful this year, nothing happens."

The wind on the side scratched his head: "Isn't Jiangnan Taiping bad?" The people of Dazhao live and work in peace and contentment, isn't Haiyan Heqing the master's long-cherished wish? ”

Yu Zheng glanced at the wind when he heard this, and did not speak with a strained face.

Chasing Yun pondered for a long time, and said: "Jiangnan is located at the end of the Huai River, and it is very prone to flooding in the rainy season every year. This year's rainy season is approaching, so we should go and inspect the Huai River embankment to prevent flooding. ”

Yu Zheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately slapped the table and said: "Yes, it is about the lives of tens of thousands of people, and this king should personally go to inspect and prevent trouble." ”

"How can such a trivial matter be carried by the master in person, how tired it is from afar." Chasing the wind is written all over his face that it is not worth it.

Yu Zheng glanced at him: "Go out and run ten laps around the palace." ”

"Why?" Chafeng opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and his eyes were clear and confused.

Yu Zheng glanced at him again: "Twenty laps." ”

Chasing the wind didn't dare to speak, looked at Chasing Yun with aggrieved and confused eyes, and walked out in despair.

Which of his words made his master angry?

Chasing clouds, looking at the nose and nose, looking at the heart, the posture is straight like an aspen.

On this day, the people of the palace were busy with their work, and they all crowded into the side door of the side door to watch the wind and run circles.

"How many laps? Have you counted? ”

"I've counted, it's the tenth lap."

Someone estimated the time and exclaimed: "Ten laps in half an hour, the Lord Chases the Wind is so powerful." ”

King Jing's Mansion covers a wide area, and it takes an ordinary person a quarter of an hour to run around.

Well, there is a garden in the backyard of the main palace, more than 50 acres. Together with the front yard of the palace, there are 70 acres.

Twenty laps down is not easy.

On this day, chasing the wind became the brightest scenery in the palace, flying around the palace like a big black crow for more than an hour.

Just a few laps later, his speed slowed down significantly.

After twenty laps, he collapsed on the grass in the backyard of the palace, looking like a dead corpse from a distance.

Chasing Yun appeared with a teapot, walked to Chafeng's side and kicked him: "Open your mouth." ”

Chafeng closed his eyes and opened his mouth.

Chasing clouds tilts the teapot, and the spout flows out of the amber tea, flying into the wind chasing mouth.

A pot of tea bottomed out, and he opened his eyes and sat up with his hands open.

"Why did the master punish me?"

Chasing the clouds lamented: "Who told you to have no eyes and don't know what is going on in your master's mind." ”

"What's on the master's mind?" Chasing the wind is curious.

Looking at his 'thirsty for knowledge' appearance, Chasing Yun felt funny.

"The master is worried about Miss Jiang's safety and wants to protect her, can't you see it?"

"What do you think?" Chase the wind and ask sincere questions.

Chasing Yun looked up at the sky helplessly: "Observing words and colors, it can only be understood that it will be difficult to speak, you will not be wrong if you keep your mouth shut and talk less." ”

"Oh." Chasing the wind and sullen his head, he finally said as if he had woken up: "Is the master going to Jiangnan?" ”

"Well, it's not stupid." After chasing the clouds, he left with the empty teapot.

Chafeng lay down again, looking at the sky blankly and feeling that the master's mind was so difficult to guess.

The next morning, Yu Zheng asked for a decree to inspect the Huai River embankment in person to prevent flooding in the south of the Yangtze River.

The emperor and the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and they didn't understand what Yu Zheng's move meant.

"In recent years, the Jokhang Kingdom has been peaceful and peaceful, but natural disasters are uncontrollable, especially the floods in the south of the Yangtze River almost every year, and Erchen suspects that it is not good for local officials to build river embankments."

"The flood season will enter next month, and in order to prevent the displacement of the people from flooding in the south of the Yangtze River, the sons asked their relatives to supervise the construction of the river embankment."

After hearing this, the emperor consulted the opinions of hundreds of officials.

Taifu Zhou stood up and said, "What His Royal Highness King Jing said is very true. ”

"Every year, tens of thousands of people are affected by floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the amount of relief silver is as high as hundreds of thousands of taels. Instead of providing disaster relief every year, it is better to spend this money on strengthening the river embankment. ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal." With Mrs. Zhou taking the lead, some people came forward one after another to agree.

"Okay, this matter is decided, King Jing will come in person on my behalf, inspect and build river embankments, secretly investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and seek public opinion."

The emperor was conclusive.

The princelings were panicked and hurriedly stood up and said: "This matter is very troublesome, and His Royal Highness King Jing is afraid that he will not be able to take care of it, and the minister thinks that he should send people to assist His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

"Oh? Who does Wu Aiqing want to recommend? "The emperor on the dragon chair sees through everything.

Lord Wu stubbornly said: "Meng Jingfan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works." ”

The emperor's dragon eyes swept back: "Meng Aiqing is willing to go with him?" ”

Meng Jingfan, who was named, came out and said respectfully: "The minister is willing to obey His Majesty's holy order and assist His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

"Okay, then you can go along." The emperor made a pointless decision, and finally looked at the hundred officials and asked, "But there is still someone to go with?" ”

Zhou Taifu said: "King Jing's visit this time will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, for the safety of His Royal Highness King Jing, please let His Majesty let the palace commander Zhou Boxu go with him, and protect King Jing's safety with him." ”

"Hmm. Mrs. Zhou was very thoughtful and accurate. The emperor was satisfied, and Mrs. Zhou's words reached his heart.

His most beloved son can't afford to lose anything.

After the next dynasty, Yu Zheng went to the harem to bid farewell to Concubine Yu.

"What? Do you want to go down to Jiangnan? ”

Concubine Yu, who is over forty years old and well-maintained, does not see a trace of fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Dressed in a water shadow red densely woven golden begonia flower palace dress, she is graceful and dignified, beautiful and moving.

is in the harem where a hundred flowers are blooming, and she can also show off her own and be pampered.

"Don't get excited, mother, there is no danger for the son-in-law to go, and he will return to Beijing in January at most." Yu Zheng soothed gently.

Yu Guifei glared at him, and said angrily: "You have cut first and then played every time, where can I agree or disagree." ”

He only came to inform her, and left no room for her to object.

The saint is too, why let him mess around!

"I heard that Jiangnan is rich in products, what does the mother want, and the son-in-law will bring it back to you." Yu Zheng tried to divert his attention.

Concubine Yu loves beauty very much, rouge jewelry and clothes, as long as it is beautiful and exquisite, she likes it.

Although there is nothing lacking in tribute from all over the palace in the palace, the new things from the people are always particularly loved.

"Look at it, buy more new things, and bring some for your sister and Yun'er." Concubine Yu instructed.

Speaking of Yu Lan, she felt distressed and guilty between her eyebrows: "It's not easy for your sister, I'm afraid that I can only be trapped in General Pingxi's mansion in this life, and there is no hope for it, how much you love her." ”

"I know, don't think too much about it, sister, she didn't blame you." Yu Zheng comforted a few words and said goodbye to the palace.

He also had to go to the Pingxi General's Mansion for a trip, and then hurried back to the palace to pack up and prepare.

Jiang Shu has already gone ahead for a day, and he will not be able to set off until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, with an interval of three days, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up.

I can only see you in Jiangnan.
