I came from heaven [traveling]

Chapter 51 River Control

Just when I thought the emperor would be furious, he squinted his eyes and laughed, with great sarcasm, he simply leaned into the couch and gnashed his teeth and scolded: "It's the emperor who spoke and shut, it seems that you didn't let me go!" In the eyes."

The people who overturned a boat with their mouths, saw that everyone in the hall was about to commit crimes, we could only kneel on the ground in a proper manner, and kowtowed our heads firmly, no one dared to act rashly.So next, I have to sigh, the Wangwang gift bag that helped me get lucky at the beginning of the year may have a lot of ominous shit mixed in it.

"Ji Sijie, come out."

What the fuck!I have provoked someone, why did you call my name all of a sudden?Zunhuang was still expressionless, I hesitated for a while, then hurriedly lifted up my robe, hunched my back and walked quickly to the center of the hall: "The minister is here."

"Do you think this river should be treated or not?"

It seems that Zunhuang is going to fight to the end today, why can't he change to a more in-depth question?Pushing the ducks to the shelves is going to kill my official career...

I have been emphasizing that being a person requires principles and a bottom line. Of course, a person like me has a strong backbone and does not follow the crowd. Even if I attract the attention and rejection of many officials, I still decide to bet my future on Zunhuang.

"Even if the Xuanshun River is not moved, the torrential rain will still fall, and the Qinglong army in the northern border will still rebel. The disaster will be avoided, and the imperial city will not be trapped in water and fire. These people are obviously seated at the feet of the emperor, but they cannot get the most basic protection. Is it urgent? The river needs to be cured, and it must be cured.”

My sonorous and forceful answer attracted the officials behind me to discuss in low voices, and Zhong Bogong, who was originally proud of his face, suddenly became embarrassed, and he also set his sights on me.Of course, my ignorant rhetoric also won Zunhuang's favor. He nodded in satisfaction and took advantage of the heat to issue an imperial decree:

"Very good. Ji Sijie took the order. From now on, you will lead all the craftsmen in the Chuanggong Pavilion to prepare for the diversion of the Xuanshun River. I will give you [-] days to repair it. If the work is not completed within the time limit, I will Come to accept the crime. As for Li Gongdu, he has done nothing in an important position, and I order you to resign and go home to reflect."

"Your Majesty, the project of harnessing the river is a huge project. It is really inappropriate to appoint and remove so hastily. Please think again!"

Zhong Bogong's face had turned livid, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to save the situation. Zunhuang stood up and seemed to be about to leave. Hearing Zhong Bogong's words, he waved his sleeves and said indifferently: "Anyone who refuses to accept will be sentenced to death. No further discussion. Retreat! Ji Sijie, follow me."

I stood there dumbfounded, how did I become a red collar inexplicably in just a few words?On the surface, it seems that he has been promoted, but this person is a bit difficult to deal with. How can he face Li Gongdu?In private, this Uncle Zhong is afraid that he will make things difficult for me.Sure enough, Zunhuang had just left the hall, and when Uncle Zhong passed by me, he stopped, tilted his head and lowered his voice, and said disdainfully: "You really think that you can sit at ease with just a few words? ?Young man, it's not good to show your sharpness."

After finishing speaking, he walked away, and I stared at Li Gongdu feeling a little sorry, Li Gongdu's face was not very good but he couldn't say much, so he left the hall with a group of craftsmen.I rubbed the bridge of my nose with my hands sadly, and now I'm having fun.

At this time, Eunuch Zhou came down from the side of the hall, approached me and said politely: "Gongdu Ji, please follow me."

......

Bypassing the main meeting hall, the promenade along the way is paved with exquisitely carved mahogany. It seems a bit clumsy to describe it with words like rich and powerful, but it is indeed very heroic.Although I am still immersed in the power struggle in the officialdom, I am a little excited inside. After all, the position I am in at this moment is the most central and supreme place in this country. In time, I can get close to the king of a country so quickly, this time I have to call for myself!

The plaque with the three characters of Longhe Palace is wrapped in gold and hangs high above the lobby. It can be seen that this is the place where the emperor lives. It has been a while since the harem was renovated, and this is the first time I have come here.There are two guards guarding at intervals, the safety factor, let's get by.

Eunuch Zhou led me to walk quickly until I entered the main hall, and I saw Zunhuang sitting at the table with a file in his hand, probably reviewing the papers sent by Jizhou Pavilion.He looked up at me, then waved his hand to signal for Eunuch Zhou to step back, so I was left in the spacious room staring at Zunhuang dryly.

After a while of silence, Zunhuang put down the file and motioned me to come closer.If you give me a tail, I will almost trot over there with a big mouth, and I am still very willing to be a dog leg with status.

"I don't know if His Majesty summoned the minister, what do you want to talk about?"

Zunhuang changed his relaxed posture and leaned lazily. He looked me up and down. I was a little nervous, afraid that if I exhaled too much, I would be killed.Zunhuang smiled: "Don't stand stupidly, sit down."

Greeting with a smile?Something is wrong.I walked awkwardly to the chair beside me and sat down, put my neat hands on my knees and waited for the next sentence.Next, Zunhuang's words made my heart feel like I was riding a roller coaster, and I almost peed out of fear.

"You usually live in Qin'er's mansion? I really want to know, what's the relationship between you two? A craftsman comes and goes in and out of the princess' mansion at will, what kind of words does it sound like?"

His majesty's tone is three points distasteful and seven points unhappy, I am very surprised, why does Zun Huang know these things, could it be that he has planted eyeliner?I was really afraid of what would happen, so I gave an embarrassed yet polite smile: "Your Highness and I are friends. When I was living on the street, it was the second princess who took me in."

"Oh? So simple?"

It can't be said that I am your daughter's confidant, and our goal is to fight for the throne, right?I have no choice but to resort to a foolish trick: "His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, and took me in when she saw that I was homeless, but I can't always eat and drink for free, so Your Highness suggested that I take the martial arts exam and rely on my own strength to take me in." Find a good official position with your strength, so that you can also serve the country wholeheartedly."

"Then about the river regulation, are you fully sure?"

Let me go, there must be a remote control in the heart of this emperor, the speed of changing channels is so fast that I can't catch up with this jumping thinking.I thought about it for a while, and answered naturally: "The river harnessing project takes a long time and consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources. As long as the eight pavilions communicate and cooperate with each other, there will be no serious problems. I'm afraid there will be some people who will hinder it and make it difficult to think ahead."

"Help me? How do you say that?"

Damn it, you've misspoken again!I looked at Zunhuang hesitantly, not daring to say anything more. This Zunhuang and Tantai Qin are a family, and they speak and act exactly the same. He waved his hands and said impatiently: "Today, you and I have a private talk, and you can say whatever you want." Boldly say, I will not condemn you."

Now that His Majesty has let go, I am going to say something at length, but I recall in my mind that when I talked with Tantai Qin about the system of the world, she said it too, but it’s okay, but the murderous look at the end is so frightening. My fat gall.Therefore, I am still very scrupulous about keeping three points reserved for my own life.

"How about, Esprit tell His Majesty a little story."

"speak."

"A long, long time ago, there was a minister who was deeply loved by the emperor, and the emperor would believe everything he said, so the power of this minister was so great that he was under one person and over tens of thousands.

One day, he sent someone to bring a deer to the emperor, hoping to win Longyan's joy.On the court, he pointed at the deer and told the officials that what he presented to His Majesty was a horse. Unbelievably, all the people present echoed and said, yes, yes, this is a horse.

In this way, even the emperor sitting in the high hall believed it, and insisted that the living creature in the center of the hall was a horse.When everyone in the world is drunk, there will be people who are sober. Therefore, an upright official jumped out to refute, with horns on his head and white spots on his body. This horse is not a horse, but a deer.As a result, the honest official was sentenced to death and died with hatred.This story is called---referring to a deer as a horse. "

It seems to be a short story, what is contained in it, how obscure it is, and how much Zunhuang can understand is unknown.But when I finished speaking, Zunhuang's expression was not good, but he was not displeased. He squinted his eyes and stared at me deeply, and the gaze cast on me was penetrating. I thought, if at this moment I have a little Anyone who is disrespectful will be suppressed by his charisma.

The hall was surprisingly quiet, and I didn't dare to say a word. If Zunhuang had more thoughts, I'm afraid he would think too much. This story is an insinuation, but it doesn't mean that the fatuous emperor in the story refers to Zunhuang.I just want him to understand that the current situation of the government and the public is no different from turning a deer into a horse, and my situation is almost the same as that of the executed official.

Zunhuang left everything behind and focused on me: "So...are you willing to be that lonely official?"

To be honest, there are 1 people in my aunt's heart who are unwilling to clamor. Who likes to be separated from the group and be ostracized?It was fun for me to slap my mouth for a while, but in the end I didn't wipe my own ass.

Although the slander is like this in my heart, but my behavior is, I stood up and walked in front of him, knelt down and gave him a five-body bow: "If Sijie is not willing, why would he appear here today, and the story of turning a deer into a horse It will not be heard of."

"Your respect understands that Ji Gongdu cares about the people of the imperial city. Don't be too polite, get up quickly."

I thanked Zunhuang, lifted my robe and stood up slowly, kowtowed to let Sixiao's jade pendant slip out, I patted the robe to tidy up, and when I was about to put the jade pendant back into the collar, Zunhuang's eyes suddenly fell on my Neck, after hesitating for a while, he asked in a serious tone: "Ji Sijie, where did the jade pendant on your neck come from?"
