In late June, the heat is raging on the earth, Cao Zhenchun slowly walked through the vertical arch hall, the floor tiles under his feet were hot and hot, not far in front of the line of sight, the two figures under the eaves of the palace came to speak, he stood there quietly and lowered his eyes, and the cicadas on the trees chirped happily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"..... Governor, just after the war, it is really inappropriate to work the people like this, although the Jin Kingdom has also suffered heavy losses, but the detailed comparison is still difficult for my Wu Dynasty to bear..."

"Ben Governor, it is not for them to work in vain, so that the displaced people will not have a livelihood, and they will not starve to death in the streets and cause trouble. ”

"Overseer, Lord Chen of the household department has already made arrangements, but this sudden requisition of the people is really....really..."

"What is it... In any case, this tower must be repaired, and the governor of the site has been demarcated, so let the household department and the Ministry of Industry do it, Qin Hui, as the middle of the imperial history, you can talk about it, don't care too wide. ”

"....Yes!"

There was a faint conversation mixed with a hint of disagreement, and the two figures then separated, one of them brushing his sleeves into the vertical arch hall, and the other still standing in place. Cao Zhenchun listened for a while, gathered his cuffs, and walked over to the man.

He bowed to the people, "Lord Qin....why did you have a dispute with the Overseer?"

"It turned out to be Gonggong Cao, Qin was polite. The figure who suddenly came back to his senses hurriedly arched his hand towards the old eunuch, and then, sighed, and said to the other party as he walked: "The governor wants to build the Tower of Babel, and now everyone knows it, this is a move that costs the people and money." ”

Walking down the stone steps step by step, Cao Zhenchun nodded, and then the orchid raised his finger, with a smile on his face, "Lord Qin, doesn't the overseer just want to build a tower... You should take care of it a little more, that is, you and I are both under the old man's side of the Overseer anyway, and sometimes if you talk too much, it will alienate the relationship, right?"

In fact, about the Admiral's intention to build a tower, he didn't say it to the court, but Cao Zhenchun still knew a little bit, after all, no matter how much this Bianliang City was disturbed, it couldn't leave his sight.

Recently, there has been an increase in craftsmen and homeless people outside the city, and he has known it for a long time, but about how to build this tower and how big it is, the admiral over there has not revealed any news at all, and even Cao Shaoqing, who is always with the admiral, has been arranged to other things, and then, last night, after he received the news from Dongchang Hai Dafu, the doubts in his heart were also solved.

As he was thinking, Qin Hui said with his hands in his hands: "What Gonggong Cao said Qin also understands, but do you know how big the tower he built is?" His tone became excited, and he put his hand in front of him and gestured between the two, "There are more than 100 zhang in a straight way....Now that the northern cities are being repaired, how can there be so many bricks and stones to provide, and then disrupt the steps of the people, although it is said to provide work to craftsmen and displaced people, but the expenditure of the imperial treasury is also a huge expense, and what is the significance of the construction of this tower, Qin Mou thought about it for a few days, and he couldn't guess. ”

The two of them walked through a palace gate, the trees on both sides of the road were full of cicadas, and the words they talked gradually stayed in silence, and the breeze blew off the leaves, and they were trampled by the footsteps, and in such an afternoon, it became quiet.....

"Gonggong Cao is going back, Qin Mou has to go back to the yamen to deal with official business......" The elegant and upright figure walked to the stone steps of an open palace gate, turned around and arched his hand, "Qin Mou has the impression that the overseer has always been pragmatic and pays attention to the words law and reason, and there are already many officials in the court who have begun to lean towards the overseer's side, but don't ruin the front attack because of what you did this time." ”

Cao Zhenchun folded his hands in front of his abdomen, looked at each other for a moment, then nodded, turned back, kicked the hem of his robe on tiptoe, and walked faster and faster, and his originally smiling face gradually became expressionless.

In the time of half a cup of tea, he had already returned to the harem, and in the imperial study, he found 'Bai Ning' who was laying out a blank piece of paper and drawing something

Entering the door, he bowed cautiously, "Overseer." ”

"Qin Hui just left, you came again, to be a lobbyist for him?" 'Bai Ning' took a brush to write and paint, raised his head and glanced at the old eunuch standing below, lowered his head and said lightly: "If it's about building a tower, don't say it, retreat." ”

Cao Zhenchun pursed his lips tightly and didn't dare to speak, and stood for a moment before he talked about other things, "....The overseer has his own idea of the overseer, and the slave and maid naturally don't dare to speak to outsiders, and the slave and maid came over to talk about Yan Qing." ”

The pen paused, and 'Bai Ning' raised his gaze, "What does he want to do?"

Inside, there was a sudden silence.

The figure below hurriedly said: "It's nothing... He probably wanted to see the Overseer. ”

'Bai Ning' behind the desk then buried his head again, and while continuing to sketch the graphics on the white paper, he said: "Bendu is too busy, when you have free time, goodbye, you can go down if it's okay." ”

"Yes. ”

Cao Zhenchun bowed and exited the imperial study, and the moment he closed the door, his footsteps suddenly accelerated towards his palace building, crossed the moon gate, and the attendant immediately followed.

"....Sure enough, as Hai Dafu expected, no wonder Xiao Chenzi brought someone in before and said a bunch of inexplicable words, now it seems that the reason is that he found ......"

When his foot pressed down a leaf, the figure stopped, and instructed the attendant behind him: "Send a message to Cao Shaoqing...." He may have known it a long time ago, and he was right, and the people who were always with the Overseer could not see the truth. ”

........Where, then, is the real overseer, and why put another such man in front, is it.....

In Cao Zhenchun's heart, it is not difficult to guess some clues when he actually makes some speculations, but he is reluctant to say it.

In a certain wing room in the imperial city, a small figure came out of it, sobbing and wiping his tears, walking and twisting, looking a little awkward.

is crying and running to the harem.

The afternoon sun shines on the flower beds in the back garden of Cining Palace, and the butterflies fluttering their wings in all directions, reflecting the sunlight and becoming dazzling like five-colored glass.

The maid in the pavilion gently shook the feather fan.

A woman in palace dress is lying on her side lazy sleep, under the light red long skirt, a pair of bare feet rubbing on the soft collapse, next to it, her expression is quite comfortable, the golden phoenix hairpin hangs on the pendant with the soft wind from the fan, gently swaying.

The attendants and maids in the hall were arranged to stand under the corridor of the garden, and did not dare to approach without orders, and soon after, at the end of the corridor, the little maid named Bell walked and twisted past, and knelt in front of the woman with a pop.

Hearing the sound, Zheng Wan opened her eyes slightly and made a gesture of retreat to the side.

When the maid with the fan left the pavilion, she asked, "How is the inquiry?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the guard said... Say... He also doesn't know, but the two Cao Qianhu in the palace may have suspected that it is fake... Lord Admiral. Bell sniffed and wiped away the tears that flowed from her eyes.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zheng Wan sighed, got up and took her handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears on the bell's face, "I've wronged you... As the master of the harem, this palace actually wants to use his personal maid to bribe those inferior things with his body....In the future, this palace will definitely compensate you. ”

"Not aggrieved. The bell raised her little face to stop her tears, but she couldn't stop it, she took a deep breath, "As long as I can avenge the Queen Mother... Even if the bell dies, he will not regret it. ”

"Good child....The queen mother must be very pleased to have such a faithful person as you. Zheng Wan lovingly rubbed the bun on the bell's head.

Bell bit her lip tightly and nodded: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother will be more careful, is the next step to find Yu Qianhu? Let Bell go quietly alone." ”

The garden was quiet, a lost butterfly flew over, landed on the soft side, the colorful wings flapped gently, stepped on the soft figure and was silent for a moment, shaking his head: "We have suffered a loss, there is no next time, Yu Qianhu has to contact, but Bai Ning's matter must also be confirmed, no matter whether the person standing in the court now is true or not, what he does is angry and resentful, let's wait and see, while testing Yu Huatian." ”

The bare feet stepped on the cool floor, the graceful figure squatted down, caressed the bell's cheek with the palm of his hand, and whispered in her ear: "The bell is also guilty, you go down today and have a good rest, don't worry, let's take our time." ”

"Hmm!"

The little palace maid nodded her head in understanding, and then was helped up, "The bell listens to the Queen Mother." ”

"Good!"

Zheng Wan gently rubbed the other party's hand before returning to the step, looking at the small figure in the distance with a slightly closed gaze, and then threw the handkerchief out of the pavilion just now.

"It's dirty...."

Dusk was about to set on the hill, and the sudden heavy rain washed away the hot air.

The rain crackled in the dirt.

The three figures finally walked to the gate of Bianliang City, and the three of them were covered with mud, like wild boars rolling in a mud pond.

”.... It's not easy to come to Bianliang. The bald Li San wiped the mud and water stains off his face, and looked at the towering city tower with a pair of eyes.

"If it weren't for this heavy rain, the three of us wouldn't have been able to really be used as coolies...."The fat man sighed, and then said to the woman behind him: "Sister Juan, you suffer a little crime, and when you enter the city, my brother will open a good room for you, the best kind, take a good bath, and then go buy beautiful clothes." ”

The woman pinched her wet dress and hummed softly.

The three of them were the three fat men who had been driven to the artisan camp before, but fortunately, the heavy rain allowed the three of them to take the opportunity to dig a small pit from the wooden fence behind the tent that could lie on their sides, and they were able to escape.

The three of them walked all the way towards the city gate that had not yet been closed, and when they arrived at the gate, Wang Wei, a fat man with a majestic face, looked at the soldiers on duty in robes, and his legs and stomach trembled again.

But in the end, the soldiers didn't even look at them, and they entered the city without even looking at them.

PS: One more, three thousand and one hundred words, the lines of the last few chapters are intricate, and I'm afraid that I'll miss it, so the number of words is more, but it's even less, and the repertoire of the three fools in Tokyo is also a bit difficult to write, and the intertwined plots have to be entangled in them.
