Your Majesty, please accept my worship

If you want to keep him as a son-in-law, what are you talking about, if you don't stay in their Li family, you won't give them food!

It just doesn't make sense!This is really a big dog!The disaster funds I allocated turned out to be a bargaining chip to threaten others.

He raised such a group of daring officials, who were obedient to others every day, leaving the suffering people aside, while he himself held a big banquet and played and sang constantly every day.

What do you mean by "the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road", this is it!

At the beginning, he thought that this kind of thing would not happen when he was in office. It seems that he thought too simply.Sure enough, it was well hidden on weekdays.What microservice private visit?The whereabouts have already been leaked.

Fortunately, he gave Zuo Qi the Shang Fang Sword just in case, and asked him to take it with him.At that time, I just thought that if I encountered any resistance, I could use it. Who knew that the resistance was as big as a mountain!If he didn't have this sword, he might not need money, let alone send people to other counties to buy rice.That's it, and it was almost too late. Fortunately, the people ran out of food for a long time. If there was no sword, the people would not have been washed to death by the water, but this time, it would be even better, they would starve to death in their own houses.

Emperor Ming paced in the upper study room with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy and irritable expression.

It also happened that the internal supervisor reported that Prime Minister Zhang had an audience.

He was so angry that he didn't think of a reason for a while, and he was going to summon him, but when he glanced at him, he suddenly realized that this prime minister had another identity.

Emperor Ming was almost angry and wanted to throw the memorial on the table, but he stretched out his hand, turned a corner again, and swept the porcelain cup containing the best tribute tea to the ground with his sleeve.

That old thing still has a face?Did he forget that Junshou Li is his good wife's direct younger brother, hum!

"Just say I'm very busy and don't have time to see him!"

The house listened to the crisp sound of broken porcelain coming from the room, and couldn't help but flinch, but he had no choice but to muster up his energy to deal with the Prime Minister.He squeezed a little smile out of his stiff face, and with a smile, he said to the prime minister who had shown his old age in the past few days, "Your Majesty is busy, so it's inconvenient to see your lord."

Everyone should be irritated.Every day when I came to see His Majesty, I was stopped at the door.

When the prime minister left, he didn't know what expression he had. His wife's younger brother was so unrestrained. Of the tens of 10 taels of disaster relief money allocated, none of them were actually in place.Not only that, Ping County, as the key target of the flood, has already become the focus of many eyes in the capital, and even sent this year's number one scholar to manage Ping County.He had already sent someone to notify him, but he swallowed the money on his own initiative because of the small place, and spent money like water.Totally intemperate.Even if He Yanping and others didn't come to ask him for the sword of "cutting traitors and craftsmen", according to this situation, if this continues, the people who are in a state of anxiety all day long will riot.At that time, no one should try to look good.

That's all, even though hundreds of thousands of taels have been exploited layer by layer, there are 20 or [-] taels in Wan County, how could he spend the money in more than a month to only a mere tens of thousands of taels!

The idiot!It's more than enough to succeed than to fail!If it weren't for the mother-in-law at home coercing him to do this and that all day long, taking advantage of an accidental fall when he was young, that day would be where it is today.

I'm afraid that Zhang Yi has been up and down in the officialdom for decades, and his life's caution will be ruined by these two people!

He flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily.

Sitting on the chair, Emperor Ming watched the servants below carefully tidy up the debris all over the floor, and felt that he had become a little angry recently.He picked up the letter he had received two days before.

Apart from some things that made him angry, there were still some things that made him happy.

For example, He Yanping knew how to break up all the people in Ping County, and then five people formed a team, and the team leader went to collect the food.

For another example, everyone in Heping County ate and slept together, and fought together on the front line of Jianping County.Instead of building dikes to prevent floods as usual, he opened up new channels for the Hong River, which not only solved the problem of flooding, but also irrigated good fields.

but--

There is a blind woman who wants to seduce him?

I don't allow it!

It seems that I should go on a tour in a low-key manner, understand the people's sentiments, and rectify these officials, big and small. Well, by the way, I will turn to Ping County to see how He Qing is doing.

Yes, just do it!

private visit

When Uncle Zhang, the steward of the government office, hurriedly came to tell He Yanping that a distinguished guest had come to the house. Shallow feet trekking through the fields that have almost become swamps after the flood.

Yes, it is the field.

Before the floods, this was a piece of fertile land that had been cultivated for generations. It had just been replanted, and it carried the hopes of the people of the entire Ping County for the coming year.

He Yanping was reviewing the nearby terrain and the orientation of the Hong River after diversion, so he took people to investigate in such a dirty environment for the past few days.

Until Uncle Zhang arrives.

"Honorable guest?" He Yan straightened up, tried sweating with his fairly clean elbow, and did not concentrate on Uncle Zhang.In his opinion, now Hong He is the most honored guest and his top priority.

Uncle Zhang took a step in the ground sucking his feet, approached He Yanping, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty is down."

"Oh... what?"

He Yanping didn't take it seriously at first, but then he came to his senses. Wasn't he hallucinating?

"Uncle Zhang, you...you mean..." He Yanping was tongue-tied, with an expression of disbelief.

Uncle Zhang nodded nervously and excitedly. As a native of Ping County, he never imagined that he could see the holy face of the emperor.But the world is so impermanent, he never thought about it, but he saw it; some people thought about it for a lifetime, but never saw it.

"I, I'll go right away!"

But He Yanping took a few steps, and the sticky force on his feet suddenly made him aware of his situation at the moment.

His originally fair face had darkened slightly after being in close contact with the sun in the past two days, but he could still clearly see the flushed cheeks.

He looked down at the mud on his coarse clothes, and...

"Uncle Zhang... how long has he been here..."

"It's been half an hour."

*****

If he didn't want to see each other again, He Yanping still had to ask.As a courtier, it is a serious crime to neglect the Holy Majesty.

When he saw His Majesty's noble face, the surprise in those eyes made his feet go limp, and he knelt down on the ground in shame.

"The minister, He Yanping, kowtowed to His Majesty, the emperor's ten thousand..."

"Lord He," Ming Emperor Zhu Rui interrupted, "There is no His Majesty here, only your cousin Zhu He."

Zhu Rui stepped forward quickly to help him up, but was avoided.

"Chen, Chen...my brother's body is filthy, I'm afraid I'll stain my cousin's hands." He Yanping blushed embarrassingly, and stood up by himself, waving his hands.

Zhu Rui was shocked, "He...cousin, what are you doing?"

This way, they used the best horses and took the smoothest and most convenient passage. The speed to come here was almost faster than that of He Yanping.Because he was in good health, his early years in the military had left an imprint on him, and no literati like He Yanping could catch up with him.Therefore, even Zuo Qi and Zuo Jiu didn't know about his arrival.Naturally, the secret letter did not reach Zhu Rui.

At this moment, he was looking at his beautiful and tidy He Qing standing in front of him covered in mud in puzzlement, almost daring not to recognize him.

"Chen...brother is surveying the terrain by the Hong River."

Even if the Holy Majesty said that they are cousins ​​now, He Yanping still couldn't let go of his hands and feet, lowered his head, and stood sideways beside the other party, not daring to stand in front of His Majesty.

"Oh?"

"According to my observations over the past few days, the Hong River flows here from Feng County. The terrain is high and low. If there is another day of heavy rain, it will easily cause floods again. Therefore, my brother thinks that we should increase income and reduce expenditure, and attract everyone to open Digging a new river channel to drain the water from the Hong River can not only irrigate good fields, but also avoid the flood of the Hong River in rainy days and the displacement of the people.”

As soon as Zhu Rui heard it, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.Even though he has not studied how to deal with floods, he still understands it.Compared with the methods heard today, the construction of river dams in the past is nothing more than "treating the symptoms but not the root cause".

"Okay, okay, brother, I'm waiting for good news from cousin Yanping."

He patted He Yanping's shoulder, unexpectedly, the people under him stiffened immediately.

"Cousin... how long will he be staying this time?"

"I'm not sure about my brother, maybe four or five days."

He Yanping had a bitter face, this Ping County is now in a mess, and there is nothing left to do.There is only mud and ruined walls all over the floor, and there is no oil or meat for His Majesty to eat for four or five days, except for the various rice noodles just purchased from the neighboring county mansion. Even a day or two is already the limit. up.

"...Ah, cousin, don't worry, I'll eat whatever you eat, but in four or five days, I'd like to have some emerald and white jade soup for a change of taste, don't you think so?"

He Yanping was about to say where the "Jade and White Jade Soup" came from, but when he looked up, he saw his "cousin" blinking at him with a mocking face. It can still be provided.

"Let's go, Yan Ping quickly take my brother to see this Ping County, and tell my brother about your future repair results."

Zhu Rui wrapped his arms around He Yanping's thin shoulders, thinking
