The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

The two also saw the subsidence phenomenon, and their faces were very ugly.

"Imperial envoy, what should we do?" The two looked bitter.

If you can't complete the task, you will be scolded by the prince when you go back.

Wang Jiaping sighed helplessly: "It's demolished! Do it again!"

"Ah?" The commander jumped up: "This, how can it work? We have built half of it? The brothers are exhausted."

Yi Xuexue is also very embarrassed: "Does it have to be dismantled?"

Wang Jiaping pointed helplessly at Yan Song's city wall: "Their city walls won't sink or collapse because they poured a lot of cement underneath. If we can't rebuild the foundation, even if it's built to a height of 10 meters, it will still collapse. .Wouldn't this be a bigger loss?"

Easy to learn and command, with a look of despair.

One general is incompetent, exhausting thousands of troops, the top moves his mouth, and the bottom runs broken legs.

This Wang imperial envoy said lightly, the brothers' hard work for more than ten days was in vain, and they had to be demolished.

"I said!" Yi Xuexue's eyes flashed: "If you tear it down and start again, you will definitely lose to Yan Song. Why don't you do something?"

"How to do it?" Wang Jiaping looked helpless.

"Pour lime sand into the soil temporarily! Let the city wall barely fall down." Yi Xuexue said softly: "But it will not affect the progress of our project."

Wang Jiaping was stunned: "It's been a long time, isn't it going to collapse?"

"The key is that as long as we complete the project first, we will win." Yi Xuexue smiled slightly: "It's good that the prince can win this game. As for whether the city wall will fall down, the prince doesn't care."

"You... unexpectedly...!!"

Wang Jiaping pointed at Yi Xuexue, as if she didn't recognize this classmate friend, and felt extremely sad.

As a fairly honest scholar, he certainly knew that this was a disaster for the country and the people.He clearly knew that what he was building was a tofu dregs project, which could not stand the test of time and would collapse in a short time, but because of the benefit of the prince, he bit the bullet and had no conscience to finish it.

This violated Wang Jiaping's conscience.

But from the moment he knew that the person standing behind him was the prince, Wang Jiaping understood that the outcome between him and Yan Song was no longer important, but the outcome between Yan Song and the prince was important.

Yi Xuexue sighed softly: "You know, I hate corrupt officials the most. This time we can help the crown prince and remove Yan Song, which is a great achievement. In the future, the crown prince will succeed, and you and I will be in power. For the sake of benefit, the construction project must be a millennium project, how about it?"

Chapter 521 Wang Jiaping's Anger [5]

Wang Jiaping still wanted to stick to the principle, but Yi Xuexue took out a letter, which was a personal letter from Wang Jiaping's master and boss Wang Bengu, asking Wang Jiaping to put the overall situation first and obey the order of the prince.

Wang Jiaping felt powerless, and no longer wanted to look at Yi Xuexue. He waved his hand weakly and said, "You can do whatever you want. Even if I say no, you won't."

Yi Xuexue and the commander exchanged glances, and hurried down to deal with the settlement.

Standing on a high place, Wang Jiaping watched indifferently as Yi Xuexue ordered his hands to pour lime sand into the ground of the city wall carrying the subsidence, so as to cover up people's eyes and ears, and made bean curd projects. Regardless of the sturdiness and durability of Tianjin City, he turned his head away in disgust .

He deeply hates this kind of thing that is for his own self-interest and harming the country and the people.

Even the treacherous official Yan Song didn't do this kind of thing, but these self-proclaimed upright scholars did it quite righteously. Why is the world turned upside down?

Wang Jiaping instantly lost interest in this competition.

He was defeated by Yan Song in a fair and reasonable duel. He is a scholar who is useless, and it is better to have no books than to believe in books.

Wang Jiaping was disheartened and walked back without looking at the city wall again.

Yan Song got the news, Hai Rui walked in angrily, and cursed: "Wang Jiaping, it's useless for me to value him so much and think he is a minister of the country. Who knows, this kid found that the quality of the city wall he built was not up to standard, and subsidence occurred." , but don’t reinvent the wheel and start over, but want to cover it up, tinker with it, just want to get away with it, is it really unreasonable?”

Yan Song smiled: "It's human nature, why are you so angry?"

Hai Rui glared and said, "Who said that? I, Haigangfeng, have no sons, and Tianjin Kaihai is my son! Those people are so reckless, building a bean curd project in Tianjin is blaspheming my son! I ask you , if the Mongols bypass the important towns on the nine borders and come to attack Tianjin, and this section of the city wall collapses, who will be responsible~〃?"

As Hai Rui spoke, his expression became more serious.

Yan Song nodded, this Hai Rui insisted on principles in the face of major events, he deserves to be Hai Qingtian.

"If you, Yan Song, don't care about this matter, I, Hai Rui, must take care of it. At worst, this official is wrong. I will write to the emperor, and after the matter is made public, I will go back to my hometown in Hainan to farm!" Hai Rui insisted~Bang~Bang was angry road.

"Don't be in a hurry." Yan Song smiled: "Give me half a month to see what Wang Jiaping is like. If he really joins forces with those princelings, I will definitely tear down that section of the city wall and start over. , how are you?"

Only then did Hai Rui leave angrily, and snorted coldly: "The victory or defeat is more important than the construction of Tianjin City? What a heartless father!"

Yan Song smiled.

Wang Jiaping watched Yi Xuexue and others pouring lime sand into the ground, barely keeping the city wall from falling down, and continued to build higher. He felt very painful in his heart. He hid in the room all day and couldn't come out.

Only then did he realize that what is useless is a scholar.

In the books, he has never been taught that life is full of vicissitudes, society is dark, and what to do when encountering such a thing?

On the one hand, there is the prince who is collectively supported by the Qingliu civil official group and regarded as a benevolent emperor, and on the other is Yan Song, a treacherous minister of the Ming Dynasty. At first glance, Wang Jiaping's choice has no suspense at all.It must be to help the prince and fight against Yan Song, but what the prince is doing now is a tofu project that harms the country and the people, while Yan Song is doing a conscience project for the country and the people. The pain in Wang Jiaping's heart can be imagined Know.

As a scholar, the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor has long been deeply ingrained. Even if the prince is not the emperor now, he will be the emperor sooner or later.

But Wang Jiaping has a disturbed conscience.

In the competition of building the city wall, he had already lost to Yan Song. From the step of neglecting to water the foundation, he had already lost at the starting line.

Wang Jiaping can admit that he is incompetent, but he must not do things that will harm the country and the people.

This is his bottom line as a scholar.
