I am the king of the dead

After several days of overall planning and arrangement, the road from Shijingchang to Meishikou, and from Deshengmen to Minghuang Mausoleum finally began to break ground.

When the construction of the capital began, Li Sui headed for Nanya, and Ke Qian followed the road the Roman envoy had come to, and headed for Shaanxi Xingdusi.

And Xu Youzhen had already arrived at Zunyi Mansion, and saw the yamen of Zunyi Mansion, and saw King Xiang Zhu Zhanqian.

At this time, Zhu Zhanqian was actually a little thin and weak. He had just recovered from a serious illness. His face looked a little pale, but his spirit was exceptionally good.

"I have met King Xiang." Xu Youzhen saluted.

Zhu Zhan said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite. Xu Yushi has been exhausted all the way. We will hold off for a few days and hold a banquet today to clean up Xu Yushi."

"I look forward to it day and night. I finally look forward to Xu Yushi."

The dredging of the waterway of the Wujiang River is extremely important to Guizhou at the moment. Whether it is the common people or merchants and officials, it is day and night.

Zhu Zhan is not talking nonsense, water control is not easy, Yang Jun led the Beijing army to dredge some places that are easy to dredge, but Yang Jun is powerless to do some dangerous beaches.

Guo Yan also set up a shipyard and built a lot of flat-bottomed tank boats. Just waiting for dredging, the land of Yunnan and Guizhou will be full of vitality.

Xu Youzhen took a look at the Zunyi government office, and could only describe it as... dilapidated.

Xu Youzhen waved her hand and said, "After seeing King Xiang today, I will go to Zhentian Cave to have a look. I haven't rested for more than 90 days."

In this era, rushing on the road is definitely not a rest, but Xu Youzhen has indeed been idle for a long time from Hetao to the capital, and then from the capital to Yunnan and Guizhou.

A little itchy.

Zhu Zhanqian took out an inscription book and handed it to Xu Youzhen, saying: "Chaodi, Xintan, Gongtan, Tanxuantang, Zhentiandong, Yizisantan and other dangerous beaches have been dredged to varying degrees. , although the voyage is no longer suspended, but the waterway is still blocked."

"Thank you Xu Yushi."

Xu Youzhen said with a smile: "Serving Daming and being loyal to His Majesty, what a hard work."

Xu Youzhen carefully looked at the title book in her hand, and the situation was still very serious.

In the original timeline, Xu Youzhen had also been to Yunnan, and it was the Golden Tooth Propaganda Department next to Luchuan and Myanmar Propaganda Department.

It was the first year of Tianshun, Xu Youzhen relied on her success in seizing the door, and not long after she became the chief assistant, she was killed and killed, and then demoted to the golden tooth.

There are no winners in the change of the door.

Chapter 498 I just recovered from a serious illness and went to the front line

There are no winners in the change of the door.

Ming Dynasty Zong lost, the courtiers headed by Ming Dynasty Zong lost, and the speculators who seized the door did not end well in the end.

Did Zhu Qizhen win?

Zhu Qizhen didn't win either.

The year of restoration of Zhu Qizhen was Tianshun, and historians used eight words to sum it up. Loyal ministers were not loyal, and Tianshun was not smooth.

After the change of seizing the door, Zhu Qizhen was unable to make any decisions in the face of the government.

Xu Youzhen was exiled successively, Shi Heng was killed, his great eunuchs Cao Jixiang and Cao Qin were forced to rebel, and the commander Menda and Lu Gao who opened the door to Zhu Qizhen were all convicted.

Even Yuan Bin, who saved Zhu Qizhen's life during the chaos of the Tumubao Incident, was convicted.

Party disputes are like waves, wave after wave, never subsiding.

This is disloyalty.

During the eight years in Tianshun, there were [-] times of cannibalistic famines, and there were constant criticisms from the court and the central government. In the end, Qin Tianjian Xu Dun couldn't resist, and was convicted and arrested in Zuozhen Fusi.

During the Jingtai period, the Miao and Yi people who were carefully appeased finally could not bear the cruel expropriation of the head. Under the unprecedented chaos of power in the court, the Miao and Yi uprisings broke out in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang and Guizhou.

This is whether the weather is good or bad.

The outer court party is full of disasters, and civil uprisings continue. What can King Jili do after the restoration?He can't do anything.

Just like when the sky changes in Tumubao, he can't do anything.

Xu Youzhen was exiled to Yunnan at the beginning, took up her old business, and left some water conservancy projects in the Golden Tooth Propaganda Department.

Now Xu Youzhen came to Yunnan again as in history, but this time, he came to Yunnan Guizhou with a miracle card, and he wanted to get another miracle card in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou.

Xu Youzhen put down the test book in her hand, and said with a lot of emotion: "The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky."

"Not to mention the long-term goal of the 20-mile waterway, even if we dredge the [-]-mile waterway, merchants can transport goods to Yunnan and Guizhou in winter and spring, and transport goods from Yunnan and Guizhou to Nanjing and Songjiang in summer and autumn..."

Xu Youzhen paused and said, "It's a blessing for Nanya Fourteenth House, it's a blessing for Yunnan and Guizhou, it's a blessing for Ming Dynasty, it's a blessing for merchants, and it's even more a blessing for common people."

"Yu Shaobao is really the pillar of the country."

The road in Yunnan and Guizhou is not easy to travel. If the waterway can be completely opened up, it will have a positive effect on the long-term stability of the southwest region and will benefit the future.

The country's long-term strategy for the 20-mile waterway was proposed by Yu Qian, and the dredging of the [-]-mile waterway was also formulated by Yu Qian when he was in Nanya.

For this reason, His Majesty specially named the third prince Zhu Jianjun.

Xu Youzhen was silent for a while, when he was complacent about Jingtai'an Minqu's achievements, Yu Qian's height had already far surpassed him.

The farm law has never been easy to grasp, and the main contradictions are different in different places. Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou are mainly traffic contradictions, Nanya is labor-capital contradictions, and Shaanxi and Shanxi are conflicts between the narrow land and the people.

Yu Qian discovered this situation when His Majesty first arrived in Nanya, where he was not very loyal. The main contradictions are different in different places.

"That is, what if it wasn't for Yu Shaobao?" Zhu Zhanqian said with a smile on his face.

Xu Youzhen thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness, Xu has to go to control the water. It's a thousand words and ten thousand. It's better to take two steps. I will go to the dangerous beach to see for myself. The dredging of the Wujiang River to Chongqing Mansion, leave it to me."

"How long?" Zhu Zhanqian asked suddenly.

Xu Youzhen paused before leaving, thought for a long time and said, "Five years."

Zhu Zhanqian shook his head and said, "It's been too long."

"Soon." Xu Youzhen said with a frown.

Zhu Zhanqian said calmly: "I'll give you three years at most, but I can't wait five years."

"Well, I see." Xu Youzhen nodded and left the government office of Zunyi Mansion, rode a fast horse and went straight to Zhentian Cave.

It's not that Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian can't wait five years, but the people in Yunnan and Guizhou can't wait three years.

Luo Bingzhong rolled up his sleeves and said: "Didn't you say that this Xu Youzhen is King Jili's eagle dog? I think he spared no effort in his loyalty to His Majesty. He just arrived, and he didn't even eat the wind banquet."

Zhu Zhanqian shook his head and stretched out a finger and said, "You don't understand."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Luo Bingzhong asked with a raised brow.

The old god Zhu Zhanqian said: "The world is bustling with people for the sake of fame and fortune, and the others stand aside. After all, the most unreliable thing in the world is the human heart, and the most reliable thing is the human heart."

Luo Bingzhong said with flickering eyes: "Hey, Your Highness, you have confused us all."

Zhu Zhanqian thought for a while, then stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Just give me an example and you will understand."

"Let's not care about Xu Youzhen, let's talk about Gu."

"Luo Changshi, Gu persuaded Huanglong and Wei Bao to surrender the rebellion, and saved [-] rebels, what do you think?"

Luo Bingzhong bowed his head and said: "Your Highness is really recovering from a serious illness and went to the front line. I have a place in my heart!"

Luo Bingzhong is not talking nonsense, he just watched Zhu Zhanqin lose weight a little bit, from a big fat man to his current appearance.

During this month of serious illness, Luo Bingzhong looked at King Xiang and thought that he would not be able to make it through. He even wrote an obituary and waited for King Xiang to die.

During this month, King Xiang fluctuated from hot to cold, vomited continuously, and even his neck, armpits, chest wall, and groin all swelled to varying degrees. I couldn't get my temperature up for several hours.

This suddenly thin down like a caterpillar fat lines have appeared.

But just after the illness got better, Zhu Zhanqian rushed from Guiyang Mansion to Zunyi Mansion. Even when he arrived at Zunyi Mansion, Zhu Zhanqian was still in bed, but he still supported himself and completed the negotiation with the rebels .

Luo Bingzhong's admiration was sincere.

"Fart." Zhu Zhanqian snorted and said, "You think so, but some people don't think so."

"Someone, King Xiang, was in Guiyang, persuaded eight thousand troops to surrender, and even saved them. What is he trying to do? Privately accumulating soldiers, this is trying to rebel!"

Luo Bingzhong's eyes widened. He saw with his own eyes how Zhu Zhanqian came to Zunyi Mansion, and how he presided over the work of persuading him to surrender.

He shook his hands a few times, and said dully: "I can't, even the minister doesn't dare to think like that!"

Zhu Zhanqian shook his head and said, "But there are people, so I think so!"

"When Emperor Wen raised his army, there were only [-] troops. This is [-] troops. The sky is high in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the emperor is far away."

"Do you believe that someone in this court will use this method to impeach Gu?"

"Believe." Luo Bingzhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded numbly.

He only made meritorious service as King Xiang, but after listening to King Xiang's analysis, the sweat on his back was dripping out.

The associative ability of the group of Fengxian officials in the court is very rich.

Zhu Zhanqian patted Luo Bingzhong's arm and said: "They impeach Gu by impeaching Gu with the most unreliable people's hearts."

"But Gu is not afraid, Gu still went to Zunyi Mansion, Gu still went to persuade to surrender, and even wrote a letter to ask His Majesty for forgiveness, imitating the old things in Nanya, he was sentenced to five years of hard labor and worked in an official factory."

"Your Majesty agrees. This is what Gu said that the most reliable thing is the human heart, because Gu believes in His Majesty, and because His Majesty believes in Gu."

"The one who is superior must never test the human heart, because the human heart cannot bear the test."

Luo Bingzhong repeatedly chewed on the words, and had to say with a lot of emotion: "His Royal Highness has a high opinion."

This is really a good opinion, and it seems contradictory, but in fact, the word "heart" is just like that, unreliable but extremely reliable.

Your Majesty always fishes with a clear card. In fact, it seems to be the air force every time, which makes people laugh, but why doesn't he not test people's hearts?

Zhu Zhanqian said with a smile: "Let's talk about Xu Youzhen again, why bother talking about Xu Youzhen's heart?"

"It depends on what he does. All his current honors, fame, and status are all given to him by His Majesty, and His Majesty can naturally take them back."

"And this old Xu, tsk tsk, look at him, he probably doesn't care about these things anymore."

"It is estimated that building canals in the Hetao area has cleared up the brain, and the crowd has searched for him thousands of times. Looking back, the man is there, in a dimly lit place, from me to no me."

"He found what he was looking for."

Selflessness is a firm state of life. After many twists and turns, many tribulations, searching and searching, I finally found my goal, and went on unswervingly for my goal, without taking pleasure in things or myself. sad.

"Then what exactly does he want?" Luo Bingzhong asked as he looked at Xu Youzhen's back as he rode away.

"How would I know?" Zhu Zhanqian shook his head and said.

Luo Bingzhong said with a smile: "Ham, Your Highness doesn't know, let's talk about it for a long time."

Zhu Zhanqian all said with emotion: "I thought, what Xu Youzhen is looking for is a clear conscience and peace of mind."

"Perhaps." Luo Bingzhong said in agreement, and then he took out the mansion newspaper with a bit of embarrassment and said, "Your Highness, this time we didn't make the headlines again, and His Majesty told another story."

Zhu Zhanqian picked up the residence newspaper, his face was cloudy, this was the third time!

For the first time, he made a three-state life of me, with me, and without me, and was squeezed by the stories of farmers and snakes, Lu Dongbin and dogs, and Daming and Fanyi.

At that time, the Zhoushan naval battle was being fought, which was an important consideration of whether the overseas abandoned people of the Ming Dynasty were from the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhan endured it, and made way for state affairs, as it should be.

The second time he made an argument about the importance of a sharp handle, he was squeezed out by the Wan Yan Shu of the Ming Gongs.

It was a large-scale political speculation. It conducted a comprehensive review of past policies, retained some policies, abolished some bad policies, and introduced many new policies.

Zhu Zhan endured it, and theory made way for policy reform, as it should be.

For the third time, he made a practice report, the supply-side reform plan for granary surplus warehouses, combined theory and thinking with practice, and extended Changping warehouses from rice to all things. Control and gain the court's bargaining power.

Zhu Zhanqian didn't want to bear it this time!

But he still endured it after thinking about it. The story of His Majesty squeezed his headlines. How dare he say anything?

Zhu Zhanqian said in a depressed mood: "Is it because of persuading all the officials in the world to treat the people better? It was because of killing!"

"The harder the fist hits, the more honest they are!"

"Your Majesty has a successful test in front of him, and he is holding a knife, saying a thousand words earnestly, is there a direct way to kill ten people?"

"If you can't do well, you can change people, and if you make trouble, you can kill people. It's such a simple thing."

Luo Bingzhong asked earnestly: "Your Highness, I would venture to say, isn't Your Majesty always doing this?"

"Noisy! Fight! Yes! Right!" Zhu Zhanqian said angrily, flicking his sleeves.

Luo Bingzhong shook his head and said, "No, I can't beat His Highness."

"Can't it be noisy?" Zhu Zhanqian frowned and said a question.
