Da Chen Jingshi - Chengtian.

Since three months ago, the young emperor took the army of Da Chen Quan and the national army to go to Jingcheng to help Junchen after the victory.

Chen Tianbao believes that a lot of unnecessary time has been consumed in the process of rushing to help. When Jingcheng was besieged for the first time, he got the news. After the subsequent preparations such as the dispatch of troops from various places, the determination of the rendezvous place, food and grass, etc., it took several days.

Therefore, in recent days, Chen Tianbao, in addition to continuing to do business in the West Market of the Imperial Palace, has also been constantly studying the map every day. He wanted to find a way to save time and reduce the consumption of the army as much as possible.

Through these three months of contact with wealthy merchants from all over the world, Chen Tianbao has obtained a large amount of money, in addition to the silver taels spent after the restoration of the siege of the zombies in Qingzhou, the amount of silver taels left in the treasury is still huge, which provides him with a solid financial backing.

Chen Tianbao looked at the map and thought hard: What can I do with this money, so that the time for mutual assistance between me and my eldest brother can be greatly shortened?

Every day, as soon as Chen Tianbao returned to the dormitory from Xishi, he immediately took out Da Chen's territory map to study. As the saying goes, "If the top is good, the bottom will be very bad!" This can make the palace maids and eunuchs inside and outside busy, and everyone is doing what they like, studying the map. And the beautiful name said: Share the worries of the emperor!

However, there are really people who have researched some so-called methods, but none of them are feasible, and even an emperor like Chen Tianbao, who does not deal with government affairs, can see that it will not work at all. Later, he was also a local official in charge of water conservancy under the Ministry of Industry, and he gave an excerpt to the emperor, which made Chen Tianbao Longyan happy.

The next morning, Chen Tianbao sat on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace. For three months in a row, Chen Tianbao did not go to the early court, and it was the four important ministers who sorted out the government affairs and handed them over to him for inspection. It's just that Chen Tianbao hasn't seen it at all!

Chen Tianbao was full of joy on the dragon chair, listening to the work report of the civil and military ministers, although the left ear went in and out of the right ear, but he was very patient until noon, and the stomachs of the ministers were rumbling with hunger.

Looking at Prime Minister Xu Qian, who had been talking endlessly from the morning to the present, Chen Tianbao rarely laughed at him angrily: "Prime Minister, are you hungry?"

"Go back to the emperor, for me to be a big Chen Jiangshan Sheji, the old minister is not hungry!" Xu Qian couldn't help but scream as soon as he finished speaking.

"Prime Minister, but I'm a little hungry. Chen Tianbao got up from the dragon chair, touched his stomach and walked down, and gently patted Xu Qian's shoulder, "The early dynasty came here first, and we will continue after eating, what does the prime minister think?"

"Old minister, obey the holy decree!" the prime minister bowed.

"Okay, Aiqing is the pillar of my Da Chen, I have already instructed the imperial dining room to stay in the palace for dinner at noon, and Aiqing will move to the imperial banquet hall with me!" Chen Tianbao strode away from the Jinluan Palace, followed by the ministers Xie Zhu Longen.

Before eating, Chen Tianbao ordered someone to put a map in front of each minister's table.

"Three months ago, a zombie rebellion broke out in Qingzhou, and our reinforcements were delayed in arriving, delaying the fighters. Failure to provide timely assistance will pose a huge threat to the safety of our Dachen Jiangshan. In order to make the Great Chen Jiangshan eternal, I thought about it day and night, and finally thought of a solution!" Chen Tianbao said.

Xu Qian asked, "My Emperor Shengming, I don't know what the emperor has come up with?"

"Zhong Aiqing, please look at the map. Chen Tianbao pointed to the map, "I have decided to open a canal of more than 3,500 miles from the capital to Qingzhou, so that in the future, it will only take one day for the army to move south along the canal, and it will only take three days to go up the canal, and the soldiers can also minimize the fatigue of traveling." ”

"The emperor's wisdom and wisdom are admired by the old ministers. If the canal is successfully dug successfully, it can not only be used for the army, but also benefit hundreds of people along the way, and the commerce along the canal can also flourish, which is a feat that Da Chen has never had in the past hundred years. Xu Qian looked at the map and praised with his beard in his right hand.

It was rare for Chen Tianbao to hear that Xu Qian could agree with his suggestion. Immediately smiled, and for the first time saw Xu Qian, the old man, so pleasing to the eye: "The Prime Minister has unique opinions, which is very agreeable!"

Who knew that Xu Qian's words changed: "But at this moment, the old minister does not agree to dig the canal." If I recuperate for five years, the old minister will definitely not object. But Dachen has experienced several wars in recent years, and the people are tired and displaced. The excavation of such a huge canal project will inevitably increase the burden on the people, and I am afraid that it will cause civil unrest and lose the support of the people. ”

"......" Chen Tianbao's face turned dark, and he stared at Xu Qian very unkindly, holding back his anger, and stopped talking. Because the eldest brother asked him to listen to the opinions of the four ministers, he didn't get angry on the spot.

Xu Qian also knew that he had caused the young emperor to be displeased, so he immediately stepped out of his seat and knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

It wasn't until the palace maid carried a plate of delicacies and put it on the table that Chen Tianbao said, "The prime minister should get up and eat together!"

"Old minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" Xu Qian dared to get up and sit back in his place.

During the meal, Chen Tianbao did not say another word. The ministers were also silent, and the entire imperial banquet hall was silent, and the needles could be heard.

After a full meal and wine, Chen Tianbao stood up and said: "Now that the treasury is full and the four borders are stable, the matter of digging the canal has been decided. The excavation of the canal was entrusted to Sima Chen, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu fully cooperated, and the Qintian supervisor was choosing an auspicious day to start construction. ”

After saying it in one breath, Chen Tianbao walked away. The chief eunuch shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty—"

Xu Qian looked at the back of Chen Tianbao leaving, his eyes showed a firmness in seeing death as home, he wanted to persuade him with death, but he was tightly pulled by Sima Chen, and whispered a few words in his ear, and finally Xu Qian sent the young emperor away.

In this way, the huge project of digging the canal was strongly finalized by the young emperor. In the afternoon, the huge state apparatus immediately convened the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Industry to discuss the specific implementation rules of such a project. Although Prime Minister Xu Qian disagreed, he would build a canal project now, but he couldn't stop it.

Xu Qian sighed in his heart: Hey, as a courtier, since he can't stop it, he can only obey the emperor's will and work hard to do things well! Besides, the advantages of digging the canal do outweigh the disadvantages, but the current situation is not suitable.

Xu Qian realized that the most active in the excavation of the canal was the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, especially the Ministry of War, which almost all supported the young emperor. The other four ministries neither supported nor opposed, and a few discerning officials only shook their heads and sighed.

At night, the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Sima Chen and Xu Qian sat at the square table and drank each other.

I saw Sima Chen get up and fill Xu Qian's wine glass, and said, "Prime Minister, the character of the young emperor, you don't know it." Last time, we couldn't stop us from marching with a big * army, not to mention that now we are just digging a canal. ”

"Sima Chen, didn't you tell me at noon today that you have a way to keep my Dachen foundation so that you won't lose the hearts of the people and cause civil unrest?" Xu Qian said.

"Prime Minister, the lower officials do have a way, but I don't know if Lord Xu Qian dares to think about it!"

"Oh, tell me about it!" Xu Qian was a little surprised.

"If you want to say that you are loyal to Da Chen, Sima Chen is ashamed of yourself, but if you want to say that you want to protect the safety of Da Chen Sheji, the prime minister is not as good as me. The young emperor has made up his mind to dig the canal this time, and even if the prime minister dies to be loyal to Da Chen, there will be no change in the slightest. The people are tired, and the great development of water and soil will inevitably lead to the instability of the people of Dachen, and the young emperor will inevitably cause the people to rebound!"

"Sima Chen, you ......" When Xu Qian heard this, he immediately got up and glared angrily.

"Don't be impatient, listen to me!" Sima Chen continued, "In the Prime Minister's heart, the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne is not Chen Tianyun, the king of Anyi? It can not only allow King Anyi to win the hearts of the people in the world, but also safely solve the sequelae of this project of laboring the people and losing money. ”

"Are you diverting the contradictory attention of the people and letting the young emperor carry this black cauldron that costs the people and money?" Xu Qian said with a deep breath.

"Originally, the digging of the canal was made by the young emperor, shouldn't he carry this pot?" asked Sima Chen.

"You ......" Xu Qian was speechless.

"Prime Minister, don't you don't understand the personality of the Young Emperor?" you couldn't stop the Young Emperor's personal conquest that day, and you still can't stop the canal now, and there may be more damage to my Dachen Jiangshan Society in the future, do you think you can stop it?"

Xu Qian was speechless by Sima Chen's words, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

Sima Chen looked at the pensive Xu Qian, smiled slightly and got up to retire: "Prime Minister, it's not too early, retire!"

"Don't send it!" Xu Qian didn't care about Sima Chen, and his mind was still stuck in the struggle between loyalty to the young emperor and loyalty to Da Chen.

......

Another three days have passed, Qingzhou Yucheng Xinwang Mansion.

Jun Chen held a letter from the capital in his hand, handed it to Xie Tianyu and sighed, his eyes showed a fierce light: "It's still coming!"

After reading the letter, Xie Tianyu said, "What did you think of?"

"Emperor Yang of Sui, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the way to self-destruction!" Jun Chen said, "Second brother, second brother, why can't you stop for a while?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Xie Tianyu asked.

"Let's wait and see what happens!" Jun Chen sighed.

"Wait and see what happens?" Xie Tianyu was a little puzzled, "This canal was specially built by Chen Tianbao to protect you, and you actually watched the changes?"

"Don't worry, I will save Chen Tianbao's life, anyway, he is not suitable and does not want to be the emperor, it is good to come down from the throne, and it will be convenient for us to take care of him in the future!" Jun Chen said.

"Okay!" Xie Tianyu pondered for a while, "I have also read a lot of historical materials these days, and I have also inquired about what Chen Tianbao did after he ascended the throne, he is indeed not the material to be an emperor." ”

"The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, but no matter what, none of our brothers can move, if Chen Tianbao is missing a hair, no matter who it is, I will let him be buried with him!" Jun Chen's murderous aura was released.

"I people. "Xie Tianyu.

"Five brothers!" Jun Chen.

"Save the world while masturbating!" Jun Chen and Xie Tianyu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahahahahaha......"
