In the same boat with the son

The next day after Li Huang delivered the memorial, all the ministers discussed water control matters in the Zhengde Hall.The Zhengde Palace is three feet high and is located on the central axis of the Cangxuan Palace. There are three steps in front of the hall, each with eighteen steps, and a total of 54 steps in the three floors; while Luoyang City is about nine miles from north to south, and about six miles from east to west, which is exactly 54. .On both sides of the first step in front of the hall, there is a base that is flush with the top of the first level. On the base stand two blue-colored mocking winds made of black iron; according to legend, the mocking wind is the son of the nine sons of Longsheng. The third son, the image has a little evil spirit, but the lines are smooth, and the posture is a little mighty, which can shock the world and eliminate disasters and demons.The Chongde Hall is located behind the Zhengde Hall. It is a relatively small palace for the emperor to handle daily government affairs.

The main color of the Zhengde Hall is black, and occasionally the cornices or corridor gaps are painted with vermilion. The nine black pillars in the hall support the high beams in a star array, and the whole space is very empty and far away.Emperor Huan sat on the high platform, and all the officials knelt on both sides. Li Wei came out to report the water control matters.After Li Wei had finished his statement and Emperor Huan hadn't spoken yet, General Liang Ji reprimanded him, "It's no surprise that Luoyang floods come and go. Does it cost so much money and effort?"

Hearing the question, Li Huang looked directly at Liang Ji and replied, "Last autumn and July, there was a flood, and the houses of the people within seven miles of Luoshui were destroyed, their belongings and livestock drifted away, and there were even more casualties of the people. .”

"It's only May now, what's the rush, there are still two or three months left!"

Hearing Liang Ji's irresponsible remarks, Li Huang was furious for a moment, and couldn't help but confront him, "Really? Does it have to be flooded in front of the general's gate to be considered urgent?"

Sikong Hu Guang is now close to sixty years old, with a gray beard, and his eyes are always smiling and bent. He usually looks very kind and kind, even a little confused, but his fine bean eyes are drooping under his eyelids. When people catch a glimpse, under such a contrast, they will be startled by the light concealed in it.At this time, Hu Guang looked at Li Wei and asked gently and leisurely, "Master Li, flood control is indeed a major event, but now the national treasury is empty, there was a flood last year, and several rebellions have been suppressed in recent years. How much money do you have?" I really can't use it to control the water now—"

Li Wei was at a loss for words for a while, but these resistances were naturally expected. There was no need for the momentary struggle in the court, so he quickly regained his composure and said, "The lower officials also know that the treasury is empty, so we only need the treasury to take out ten dollars." Wanqian, no matter how fierce the flood is, the next official will never speak again."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, one hundred thousand dollars to govern Luoshui is nothing but a drop in the bucket, but some people are willing to take on this Arabian Nights story, and most people only see it as a joke, it has nothing to do with them, and hangs up high.Hearing this, Liang Ji was delighted, "Lord Li said this in court, so don't go back on what you say then."

Li Huang was calm and composed, "That's natural."

Taiwei Zhao Jie heard it, and said angrily, "This is not nonsense!"

Hu Guang stroked his beard with his hands, "Master Li, it's better to be cautious. Water control is not a child's play. If the people are displaced due to poor handling, the Holy One will blame it, but it will not be as simple as it is now."

"The lower officials know the benefits."

"Naturally some people will overestimate themselves, so don't shirk their responsibilities." Liang Ji said disdainfully, but in his heart he had already disliked Li Huang.

Emperor Huan rubbed his nails with his fingers, "Since all the ministers have discussed it properly, that's all. However, 20 yuan for water control is too little, and [-] yuan for Lord Li, the matter of water control will be handled by Qing." If you need to be dispatched by Taiwei Mansion or Sikong Mansion, you can arrange it yourself. But if Mr. Li fails to do things well, you will know the consequences." Li Ting bowed his head to Emperor Huan and returned to his seat.

On this day, when Li Wei returned to the mansion, Feng Dai's transfer order had been issued, and he had to leave for Beidi County within three days.In the evening, Feng Dai, Yin Xun, Li Wei, Fu Ming and some officials from the middle of the capital who were friends with Feng Dai gathered at Baishuiju to see Feng Dai off.

The shopkeeper Zhang of the restaurant saw such a group of noble people, so he hurriedly came forward to greet him, and when he saw Feng Dai, he said, "Master Feng, you are such a rare visitor. It's the first time I see you recently. It's a pity, but it's another This is the last time." Everyone exchanged greetings with the shopkeeper, this time it was Yin Xun who was the host, so he led everyone into the private room that had been reserved.Shopkeeper Zhang was accompanied by everyone, before he reached the door of the private room, he saw a handsome boy who whispered something into the shopkeeper's ear, Zhang Zhang seemed to be happy, and the corners of his eyes and brows seemed to become more cheerful , but was quickly restrained, and apologized to everyone, "My lords, please get together well, and I will not accompany you."

Everyone looked at his change and thought it was something good, and they all had some teasing looks on their faces, but the beauty of a gentleman naturally didn't do much to keep him.Fu Ming entered at the end, just took a few extra glances out of curiosity, and saw Zhang Zhang leading a man in his forties into a private room in the back.The man was wearing a black long gown, tall and tall, although his figure was a bit flirtatious, he exuded a very majestic aura.

Fu Mingzheng wondered in his heart, there are such big figures in Beijing?Although he has only been in Beijing for less than a year, it is more important than receiving Yin Xun, Li Wei, and Feng Dai, but he is already this age, and he really can't think of who he is.Feng Dai had already entered the private room, but saw Fu Ming still standing at the door as if thinking, so he called out, seeing that he didn't respond, he went to the door, whispered into his ear and said, "Look, I'm leaving, Don't you feel so sad and lonely?"

Hearing this, Fu Ming felt that Feng Dai's frivolous behavior was a bit inappropriate, but he didn't take it to heart. He smiled at Feng Dai as if nothing happened, and entered the private room.Seeing that Fu Ming didn't respond, Feng Dai felt that he was bored, so he followed him in.Yin Xun and the others all sat down, and said some greetings.After three rounds of drinking, they were all three points drunk, Feng Dai looked at Li Wei, "Is it appropriate for you to do that in the court this morning?"

When everyone heard this, the scene suddenly fell silent, thinking of the tit-for-tat confrontation between Li Wei and Liang Ji and the promise they made, they all lowered their heads as if they hadn't heard.Li Huang sipped the wine in his glass slowly, with some interest in his eyes, "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. It's unknowable."

Hearing this, Feng Dai became even more anxious, but saw Fu Ming shaking his head slightly at him, thinking that it was really not suitable to talk too much on this occasion.Yin Xun saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't say much, he just persuaded, "Deshan, since Mingxuan can say that, he naturally has his thoughts." Feng Dai didn't say much anymore, Everyone resumed toasting and staggering.

When Mingxuan, Feng Dai and Fu Ming went back, the moon had already left behind, and the bluestone road was covered with silver-white moonlight.All three drank some wine, Feng Dai especially drank a lot, so he insisted on taking the two of them back for a walk.Li Huang can still walk on his own, while Fu Ming drinks the least, but he is the thinnest, and it is barely enough to support Feng Dai alone.Li Wei's carriage ran over the bluestone road behind the three of them, and followed slowly.

Feng Dai's whole body was hung on Fu Ming's body, and with a light touch, it was as if he was hugging Fu Ming to his full arms.The breath on Fu Ming's body is very clean, with a slight smell of child's milk. Compared with Feng Dai, his body is still a little cold. Very comfortable.Feng Dai couldn't help rubbing his head against Fu Ming's body. The feeling he felt through his clothes was soft. The more he imagined the feeling of his skin, the more he couldn't help but want to rub more.

His face brushed against Fu Ming's hair, and it felt a little slippery, and he felt a little inexplicably comfortable, feeling very different from others.Feng Dai's restlessness made Fu Mingle panic. He looked at Li Wei, and wanted Li Wei to order the servants behind him to help him, but although Li Wei still looked sober, his head was actually very confused from the alcohol. , and didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't hear Fu Ming's words at all.Fu Ming was also not good at assigning Li Wei's servant, the servant didn't dare to step forward when he didn't give orders, so the three of them had to stumble back home with Moonlight on their backs.The crushed moonlight is like disturbed water ripples.

Some people say that where love arises, it disappears.But when you think back, you feel that it is very natural, but you don’t know that in those days that were only ordinary at that time, certain things, certain feelings, many, many, have traces to follow, and when you realize it again, it is already deep in the mud. Trapped, unable to extricate themselves.

When he returned to Li's mansion, he saw two small figures sitting on the threshold, looking around constantly, and the housekeeper Li Bo was also guarding behind the door.Seeing Fu Ming's return, the two small figures quickly jumped on Fu Ming's body, one hugging his thigh and the other hugging his waist. Unprepared Feng Dai was bumped into a stumble, but luckily he was supported by the housekeeper, Uncle Li.Feng Dai looked at the two children in surprise, and there seemed to be some innocence and dissatisfaction in his eyes.However, Uncle Li made arrangements early on, so everyone had to go back to their respective houses to rest.The next day, Feng Dai left Luoyang.

In July, news came from Beidi County that there was red flesh under the sky in Lianxian County. The news also said that the meat was like a sheep's lung, or as big as a hand.The Five Elements said, "Abandoning the law and chasing meritorious officials, sometimes there will be disasters for sheep, and sometimes there will be disasters of redness and auspiciousness."For a time, folk rumors spread everywhere, saying that the Empress Dowager Liang was regent, the general Liang Ji was in power, and Li Gu and Du Qiao were punished in vain, and the heaven sent a warning for punishment.Not long after the news came, Empress Dowager Liang immediately summoned Emperor Huan, who did not know what to say.Soon, Empress Dowager Liang became seriously ill.

Li Huang also heard it, but felt it was ridiculous, how could the sky give birth to flesh and blood, this kind of news could be spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and attracted the people to believe it.Thinking about Feng Dai's sudden call to Luoyang and transferred to Beidi County not long ago, it seemed clear for a while.I just think that the common people spread rumors about such nonsensical facts without thinking about it. If they are used by someone with a heart, they dare not imagine the benefits.

But Fu Ming sighed, "The people are like water, and they are guided by the times; they don't believe what others say, but just make what others say more certain of their own ideas. Sometimes this kind of belief is not wrong, and sometimes the confirmed belief is harmful. Infinity. The founder of the belief of the times is a genius, but the causes and effects established in it are endless."

"For example, some people now put forward the concept of women's chastity. Naturally, many men are very satisfied with this, and this man is the master of all social rights, money, status, etc. In the future, women's chastity may be concluded. But In the past, how could there be so many requests, it is not uncommon for royal and folk women to remarry."

Hearing this, Li Huang felt that it was very reasonable, the people are like water, not without wisdom or powerlessness, the most fundamental thing is to guide them only for profit.If society is an act of labeling, such as royal family, clan relatives, foreign relatives, ministers, eunuchs, etc., being labeled will bring a certain color and characteristics.People who will really get in touch with a specific person, who will really know what this person thinks and thinks, are just copying what others say, and they will put a label of characteristics on their mouths, and then how to remove it after being labeled. get off.Maybe the people are not ignorant, but many times they think and act in a crazy and unreasonable way.

I couldn't help but think of Lin Xiu again, wondering how he would react or think when he heard such news.I think he can always see farther than ordinary people, and his mind is more thorough, but maybe it is very transparent, as if there is no restraint, breathless and invisible like the wind, I don't know what I want and where I want to go.

It's just how long will that person have to wait, the time is very long, and it seems to be very slow, but that person always seems to be very close, yet far away.I can't help stretching out my hand to keep the wind, but it will always dissipate invisibly; maybe I open my fingers and just feel the feeling of the wind gently wrapping around my fingers.
