It's night, and I haven't been able to sleep for a long time.Gu Dian dreamed back, and the huge Jia Ming Dian was as silent as ever.I got up and put on my outer robe, listening to the night raindrops outside the window, feeling depressed.

I don't know what I'm worrying about. So far, although life has been full of ups and downs, fortunately, I haven't wasted, and I haven't deviated from the direction.It is also possible that I am not melancholy, but some other unexplainable awkward emotions.

I lit an oil lamp, and Lu Jiuan, who was on guard at night, heard the sound and asked me what I wanted to do.I thought about it, and suddenly I had a plan.Based on the principle of "everyone sleeps and I wake up alone, it is better to fight and make trouble", I asked Lu Jiuan to send Su Che into the palace to negotiate matters.

Lu Jiuan looked out: "Your Highness, it's already the third watch, and it's still raining lightly outside. You..."

"It's urgent, go quickly." I'm not kidding.I have always been uneasy about the water control in Guangzi.I pressed four or five copybooks in my hand, all of which were played by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.In the first generation of Guangzi, press the gourd to float the ladle.The corrupt officials were almost killed, but the common people were in a mess.

As early as the beginning of last month, someone leaked the list of personnel responsible for the repairs, which led to everyone knowing that the person in charge this time is actually a criminal who was punished for failing to control the water three times before.The common people couldn't bear the consequences of the failure of water control. Protesters, demonstrators, and even dragged their families away from Guangzi to seek refuge with relatives abound.

The Ministry of Finance sent a team of "negotiators" to appease the people, but it was of no use.To make matters worse, the rumors became more and more popular, and soon turned into heresy.Many people rumored that Guangzi was cursed by God, so it is impossible to control the water, and it will not be successful in this life.The officials who were sent out to educate people were surrounded and beaten in the street, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. In the end, Wei Yunlang had to use force to suppress them so that no one would die.

However, the repair of the river pond must not be delayed.I picked up a pen and paper to recall carefully.In less than two years, there will be another flood in Guangzi, and according to my guess, the damage caused this time will not be smaller than before.In the previous life, I remember that the sixth brother had to set aside half of the national treasury for disaster relief.Despite this, plagues and riots occurred one after another in Guangzi.Presumably those silver coins were not distributed to the common people, but into the pockets of corrupt officials.Fortunately, the situation in this life is relatively clear. We only need to "fight wits and courage" with the common people to let the river pond be repaired smoothly.Wei Yunlang still has to work hard for a while longer to catch the corrupt officials who have not been cleared away, and minimize the number of fish that slip through the net.

I drafted several plans to ensure that the Ministry of Industry can minimize human interference when repairing the pond.Just halfway through writing, Lu Jiuan came back with Su Che.I was surprised and asked him: "How come so fast?"

"Wei Chen never went back to the mansion at all, and I have thoroughly checked the accounts with my colleagues in the household department." Su Che rubbed his temples exhaustedly, and found a chair to sit down under my signal: "The bad accounts of the previous dynasty have piled up into mountains. , Hubu Shangshu has not slept or rested for three whole days, and I was afraid that his body would not be able to hold on, so I quickly replaced him."

"How did you accumulate it? Didn't you check it before?" I asked subconsciously, and then felt that I seemed a little unreasonable, and hurriedly added: "I'm not blaming you. I'm just curious."

"In the past, the country was not the country, the king was not the king, what's the use of checking the accounts?" Su Che likes to tell the truth as always, and he took my teapot without treating himself as an outsider, and drank it with his head up.

After he drank half a pot of tea, I told him about the thorny problems of the Guangzi generation.After Su Che listened in silence, he said bluntly: "Your Highness, leave this matter to Wei Chen. Wei Chen tried his best to suppress the rumors."

"It's very chaotic over there. The people who were sent out before were all beaten by the common people." I looked at the yawning Su Che worriedly: "My king invited you to work in the household department because he valued your business talent. You don't want to die before you leave the teacher."

"This little minister will definitely live up to his mission..." Su Che raised his hand to support his eyelids, the bloodshot eyes made me feel unbearable.I was afraid that he would bend over again, so I had no choice but to say: "If you are so sleepy, don't hold on. Get a good sleep."

"Thank you, Your Highness..." Su Che suddenly limp and slumped on the chair, his head tilted to one side, and there was a faint snoring sound.Shocked, I hurriedly got up and tried his breath, confirming that he had indeed fallen asleep and not died of sudden death.I called Lu Jiuan and asked him to carry Su Che to the couch to have a good rest, and then help him take off his clothes so that he can sleep more comfortably.Lu Jiuan ripped him from head to toe, but he didn't wake up.I sat back at the desk and continued reviewing the memorials, and it took me a whole night to see it.

In the early morning of the next day, I opened the window and smelled the fresh air outside, and my fatigue seemed to be relieved a lot.The rain is fine and the morning fog is slight, and the new pool of green water is full.The eaves were still dripping with raindrops, Hongdou brought a washbasin to cleanse my face, and Lu Jiuan stepped forward to wake up Su Che.

Su Che sat up with sleepy eyes, scratched his belly, and found that his belt was missing, he hurriedly searched for it and put it on loosely.I asked him to eat breakfast before leaving, but Su Che refused, saying that he should go back to the Ministry of Accounts earlier to have a look, hoping that he would not see an unknown humanoid figure suspected to be the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts lying on the ground, dying of exhaustion.

I didn't keep him either. After he stretched himself and opened the door to leave, I sat down and had breakfast.However, I just took a sip of rice porridge, when there was a sudden noise in the courtyard, and then Lu Jiuan asked in shock: "Master Prime Minister, why are you still in the palace...didn't you go back last night?"

My heart sank.Yesterday I ordered the palace staff to close the palace gate earlier, completely ignoring Zhong Bochen still kneeling in the palace.After all, it would be very easy for Zhong Bochen to leave the palace, not to mention that there are so many side halls for him to rest.Could it be that he knelt in the palace all night and didn't go back? !

I was so heartbroken that I jumped up and ran out of the house.However, as soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw an incredible scene.I saw Zhong Bochen tightly grasping Su Che's collar, his eyes were red, and he glared at him as if he had a sworn enemy.Su Che's belt and robe were tied perfunctorily, but they were unbuttoned when he pulled them.Su Che's face was full of bewilderment, and he covered his bare shoulders with both hands and said in a low voice: "Master Prime Minister, what are you..."

Zhong Bochen's body was trembling slightly, when he raised his head to look at me, his eyes scanned me from top to bottom.I was stunned by him, subconsciously straightened the crooked robe on my body, and asked in bewilderment, "Why are you crazy?"

Zhong Bochen's flushed cheeks instantly turned extremely pale. After looking at me dully for a long time, he suddenly pushed Su Che away forcefully.Su Che was already weak, so he swayed on the spot for a long time and almost sat down on the ground.I hurriedly ran over to support him, and when I raised my head again, I found that Zhong Bochen's eyes were filled with tears, wrapping his fading pupils, staring straight at my hand on Su Che's waist.I stared blankly at him for a while, but before I could say anything, he suddenly turned around and ran away.

While everyone was dumbfounded, Su Che asked me in a dazed manner: "Your Highness, is the prime minister drunk? I didn't offend him..." Lu Jiuan helped Su Che up and tidied up for him. In good clothes, he hurriedly sent Su Che out of the palace through the side door.

I stood still for a long time before I came back to my senses, and hurriedly ordered the palace servants to chase Zhong Bochen back, and asked him what happened, whether he was unconscious due to the cold.However, these useless people ran away without knowing where Zhong Bochen was going, as if in broad daylight, a large living person directly transformed into a fairy and flew away into a giant moth.

I lamented again and again, and after much deliberation, I ordered Lu Jiuan to deliver some medicine and supplements to Zhong Bochen's residence, so that he could be treated quickly when he was sick.However, Lu Jiu'an reported back that Zhong Bochen hadn't returned home all day, and his whereabouts were unknown.

I thought about keeping him in court the next morning.As a result, the always diligent prime minister actually "fleeed"!I didn't see him in the morning for a week.Not only that, Zhong Bochen no longer came to kneel outside Jiaming Hall.I was restlessly wondering if he was seriously ill or if something happened to him, when Zhong Bochen suddenly appeared in my sight again as if nothing had happened. He gave me a polite but friendly smile, which seemed to be nothing unusual.

But I always feel that there is something wrong with him, at least a little too deliberately.So after the morning court was over, I decided to call him in front of me and ask him what happened.I never thought that Zhong Bochen could run faster than a rabbit. I couldn't stop him for three consecutive days, so I had to give up.

I guess he should be busy with some ulterior things, such as secretly investigating who is spreading rumors in the Guangzi generation, or monitoring the restless veterans in the court.If that's the case, there's no need for him to hide it from me, right?

Unexpectedly, within half a month, my seemingly unreliable guess was confirmed.First, Su Che came to tell me that the rumors in Guangzi area suddenly subsided, but it is unknown who was behind the scenes.Immediately afterwards, my Hubu Shangshu, who was about to become a skeleton with huge dark circles under his eyes, came to complain to me, saying that the prime minister was suddenly very active for some reason, and went to the household department to snatch all the jobs. After reading several baskets of ledgers, everyone was so ashamed that they just wanted to hang themselves.I just finished appeasing the Minister of the Household Department, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came in rashly from outside the door, and said to my ear: "It's terrible, Mr. Prime Minister is crazy. He quietly killed several restless people this week. The veteran minister of the former court has done a very impeccable job."

I was dumbfounded, and asked him, since there is no leakage, how do you know that the prime minister did it?The Minister of the Ministry of Officials slapped his thighs, saying that these old officials died in a variety of ways.From those who choked to death after eating, to those who fell into the latrine and drowned, anyway, there is no decent belch.Who can kill people in groups without seeing the blood and making people unable to find fault, who else would it be if it wasn't the prime minister! What's more, the prime minister himself came to confess to him, saying that he killed them all, so he asked him who else to look at Not pleasing to the eye, the sudden death list for next month is already in place.

Could it be that the ginseng I sent was too medicinal, and Brother Zhong fell into a state of hyperactivity after eating too much?It's a pity that I don't have time to take care of Zhong Bochen who took the wrong medicine, because my "day of questioning and killing" that I waited for the stars and hoped for the moon has finally come.

On this sunny afternoon, the dungeon went from overcrowded to empty in an instant.The criminals who had been caught in the prison before were escorted to the prison car for public display.The masses were full of indignation and sent them the last journey with rotten vegetables and rotten eggs.

I personally rushed to the execution ground to supervise the execution. Not only that, but those princes and princes who had "signed and pledged" were also on the sidelines to watch this "grand event".The people from the entire Hongmeng City crowded around the execution ground, pointing and pointing at the condemned prisoners.I looked up at the sun, desperately hoping it would climb to the top so I could drop the stick and send the damn things up into the sky.Unfortunately, it turns out that, like the badly written plots in thousands of scripts, this "famous scene" cannot be smooth sailing.

Someone has come to rob the court.No, to be precise, these guys didn't want to save people, but to kill people.Their goal is very clear, that is to kill me.Just when I was about to suffer from heatstroke, an unknown group of people suddenly jumped out of the bustling crowd, crossed the execution ground and headed straight for the prison platform.The common people screamed and fled in all directions.I threw the wooden stick a second before the big knife was poked on the forehead, and shouted at the executioner: "Don't wait, motherfucker! Cut it up!"

The big executioner brother was proficient in his business. He immediately jumped up and slashed a row of heads with a knife, and then slipped away close to the side.These guys were laughing happily before they died. They thought that their luck was about to change, but they never thought that they would kill their dogs in the next second.I bent down under the table and looked around, counting the heads all over the floor, and then started to run away with peace of mind.

I, the regent, have practiced after all.Nothing else, the escape technique is top-notch.I slipped back and forth around the chair, saw Pei Guogong drew his sword to defend himself, rolled forward and sprinted behind him, using him as a riot shield in front of him.Mr. Pei Guo couldn't kick me out, so he could only snatch the knife again with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"It seems that it is really wise for me to feed these old guys, their fighting power is really good.

Of course, there are also disappointments.For example, Prince Dian directly chose to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, and then was trampled back and forth by the assassin and his own people, almost really returning to the sky.

I thought the matter was not big enough and joined in the fun, suddenly felt a chill behind my back, and turned my head to see a dark arrow flying towards me.Just as he was about to fall to the ground to hide, a sword shadow suddenly struck, and he flew the hidden arrow neatly.I took a closer look, and saw that the person who came was a fairy, dressed in white, and seemed familiar.I was just about to ask where fellow daoist saved my life, but that person suddenly grabbed my clothes, pulled me into his arms, and then jumped out of the encirclement with a few strokes of gravity-defying lightness, and led me onto the horse. Dust away.

I was dumbfounded, could it be that my well-behaved costume drama has been upgraded to a fairy tale drama?Fortunately, this man's qinggong doesn't really fly in the air, he still runs on the ground with his feet on the ground, otherwise I really have to give myself a big mouth to wake up.When we fled to a secluded place, the "immortal" carried me off the horse, and softly said, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

I looked at the "immortal" in front of me and swallowed: "It turns out that the prime minister has such good skills..."

Zhong Bochen still smiled amiably, laughing so much that my heart was in a mess, I always felt that he seemed to be wearing a fake face.So I stretched out my hand and pinched his face: "Are you not hurt?"

Zhong Bochen's smile froze instantly, then dimmed a little bit, and finally turned into a helpless and sad expression.I froze and tiptoed to touch his forehead.However, as soon as my hand touched his forehead, Zhong Bochen suddenly opened his arms and hugged me vigorously, making me stagger half a step back.

"Xiao Wu...I won't make you angry in the future, I won't be annoying...Don't want me...Look at me...I'm quite useful."

Zhong Bochen's timid tone seemed like a pug begging for shelter.I froze for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion:

The court is over.The regent and the prime minister are a fool.
