Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Sun Jinyan's memorial to Chu Tianjiao was also sent to Shangjing. Prime Minister Wang suppressed the memorial for two days.

When Chu Tianjiao's memorial also arrived in Beijing, Prime Minister Wang sent the two memorials to the imperial court together.

In the memorial, Chu Tianjiao explained the reasons for the flood discharge in Puyang, and at the same time commented on Sun Jinyan's inaction during the disaster.

In the imperial study room, there were icebergs piled up in the corner. Although it was summer, it was extremely cool.

Emperor Lu Yunkui was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. His face had a Chinese character, his skin was sallow, his eyelids were swollen, and even his beard was grayish-white.

In less than half a year since Queen Wang's death, Lu Yunkui seemed to have aged a lot.

He forced himself to sit up straight and read the two memorials brought by Prime Minister Wang.

The contents of these two memorials are completely different.

Lu Yunkui has been suffering from headaches due to poor sleep in recent days. After watching this, he got even more headaches.

He was weak in energy and asked the prince Lu Yuanqing to follow him to manage the government.

He threw the memorial on the imperial case, clicked it, and said to Lu Yuanqing: "Prince, take a look at the contents of these two memorials. Who do you think is right about these two people?"

Lu Yuanqing was wearing a golden prince's uniform and a golden crown with dragons and pearls on his head. He had a warm smile on his slightly round face.

I don't know if he was deliberately imitating, or because Lu Yuanqing and the late prince were brothers from the same mother.

Today, he looks more and more like the former prince.

Lu Yuanqing stepped forward and picked up the two memorials, stood upright in front of the emperor, held the memorials in both hands, and read them ten lines at a time.

When he saw the straightforward language in Chu Tianjiao's memorial, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

After reading it, Lu Yuanqing closed the memorial and returned it to the emperor.

He bowed and replied: "Father, I am not here, so I cannot judge who is right and wrong based on their words.

But I heard that Eunuch Li had just returned from Yuzhou to announce the decree, so why not ask him about the real situation in Yuzhou. "

Li Fengnian, who was tired of life, had just finished bathing and changing clothes when he was called to the imperial study room.

Li Fengnian was also an old eunuch who had served Lu Yunkui for decades and knew Lu Yunkui's suspicious character.

He had the intention to help Chu Tianjiao, but he only told the truth about what he saw in Xingyang and Fengqiu embankment.

At this time, the court did not know that the heavy rain in Yuzhou had stopped. Lu Yunkui asked worriedly: "Is the river really about to overflow the embankment?"

Li Fengnian bowed and replied: "Replying to your Majesty, it is indeed almost overflowing. I was afraid that Your Majesty would personally take care of it when I came back, so I took a look at the river embankment and was almost swept into the river by the waves.

Moreover, as soon as the old slave returned to Xingyang, he heard that Mr. Chu was swept into the water by the waves.

Fortunately, Mr. Chu was very skilled in martial arts and had great fortune. After being washed away for a while, he climbed ashore. "

Li Fengnian was talking about Chu Tianjiao being assassinated and falling into the river.

Because the assassin had sneaked into Li Fengnian's bodyguards to carry out the assassination, when Jiang Zuo and Jiang You found Li Fengnian for questioning, they brought Chu Tianjiao's words to Li Fengnian.

Chu Tianjiao believed that Li Fengnian would not assassinate him. If he was afraid of taking responsibility for this matter, he could help Chu Tianjiao investigate it privately without reporting it publicly.

Li Fengnian accepted Chu Tianjiao's favor and tried his best to help Chu Tianjiao.

Therefore, Chu Tianjiao fell into the water as evidence that the flood was too large and was told.

When Lu Yunkui heard that Chu Tianjiao was in danger, he became less suspicious of her.

Lu Yuanqing expressed his amazement at the right time: "Sister Chu, this is too desperate. She, a first-level general, actually went to the river embankment to carry sandbags herself?"

Li Fengnian nodded: "Your Highness, this is indeed the case. After Mr. Chu led the Quzhou Army to northern Henan, he rushed directly to the river embankment.

She led [-] Quzhou troops, carrying sandbags and stones around the clock to reinforce the river embankment.

The people in northern Henan and all the river workers can testify to this. "

Lu Yunkui didn't give up and asked, "What is Sun Jinyan doing?"

Eunuch Li would not directly slander Sun Jinyan, but only replied: "I don't know what Master Sun is doing. When I went to announce the edict, Master Sun received the imperial edict at the Prefecture Mufu."

At this time, Prime Minister Wang went forward and mentioned the drought in Ganzhou, the preventive work done by Chu Tianjiao, and the construction of canals.

Prime Minister Wang said: "Compared to Ganzhou, Yuzhou only learned that there was a drought in Yuzhou after we sent people to inspect it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunkui had already determined the authenticity of the two memorials.

He threw down Sun Jinyan's memorial and cursed: "Old guy, if you don't do anything yourself, you still have the nerve to complain first!

An order was immediately issued to remove Sun Jinyan from his post on the spot and demote him to Puyang as county magistrate.

Let Chu Tianjiao temporarily take over the post of Yuzhou Prefect and wait for the new Yuzhou Prefect appointed by the imperial court to take office before returning to Ganzhou.

By the way, she went to Yuzhou. What is the situation in Ganzhou now? "

Wang Chengxianghui reported: "My son is the county magistrate of Wusheng County in Ganzhou. According to his letter home, although Ganzhou was severely hit by drought, the people of Ganzhou were living better because Lord Chu took precautions in advance and mobilized wealthy households in Ganzhou to donate money." Everything is business as usual.

Not only that, Master Chu also helped Guanzhong and resettled [-] Guanzhong disaster victims. "

After Lu Yunkui listened, he thought for a long time.

He knew that Ganzhou was poor, but he did not expect that this time Ganzhou not only did not ask the court for disaster relief food, but also helped resettle the victims of the disaster in Guanzhong.

In the past two years, what Lu Yunkui fears most is when officials reach out and ask him for money or food. Lu Yunkui still likes officials like Chu Tianjiao who can help the court solve problems.

He sighed: "This big girl from the Chu family is really not an easy person. I used to think that she knew how to fight, but I didn't expect that she was also good at managing politics.

What a pity, it’s a woman! "

Lu Yuanqing was on good terms with Chu Tianjiao and agreed with a smile: "Although Sister Chu is a woman, she can still achieve something under my father. This just shows that my father uses talents in an eclectic way and has a broad mind.

Only now did the son realize that there was still a huge gap between him and his father.

From now on, my son will definitely learn from his father this way of employing people. "

Seeing the admiration in Lu Yuanqing's eyes, Lu Yunkui felt proud and felt proud. He immediately wanted to show his eclectic way of employing people in front of his son.

"I remember that the eldest girl of the Chu family was also the governor of Ganzhou temporarily?

It's better to remove the word "temporary generation" and let her take care of the affairs in Yuzhou and then be the governor of Ganzhou with peace of mind. "

Prime Minister Wang has already had this intention.

He commands the state pastor of each state, and Ganzhou has indeed made outstanding achievements. He also hopes that Chu Tianjiao can continue to be the state pastor.

Lu Yuanqing is now the crown prince. The more stable the government in Li Guo is, the more favorable it will be for Lu Yuanqing to successfully inherit the throne.

If you want to limit the power of the Chu family, you can wait until Lu Yuanqing is firmly on the throne before discussing it.

Prime Minister Wang brought up the matter of arrears of food and salary for the Northwest Army.

Lu Yunkui felt a headache. The court could not provide money or food to support the troops. What could he do?

He waved his hand impatiently and said: "Since the eldest girl of the Chu family is so capable, let her raise her own food!"

Prime Minister Wang objected: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!

Ganzhou has just been hit by the disaster. No matter how talented Mr. Chu is, it is impossible to collect food for the Northwest Army for half a year!

If it causes a mutiny in the army, something big will happen. "

Lu Yunkui felt his temples tingle.

Recently, he kept feeling like something was squeezing his brain.

Occasionally at night, I would dream of some strange images.

He actually dreamed that he died, his soul was imprisoned in the portrait in the Ancestral Temple, and he was scolded by his ancestors every day.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
