Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Shen Qi was seriously injured, and it involved the remnants of the Yinjian Sect. Emperor Jing Long sent Chu Yuan over to express his condolences on the injury, but in fact to interrogate the details of last night and the whereabouts of the two imperial guards.

Shen Qi had long thought of a seamless excuse, saying that she was surrounded by several blood-eyed assassins, and after a fierce fight with them, the two guards lost to the country and died at the bottom of the river.

Chu Yuan sent people to salvage in the waters he identified, and after working hard for a long time, nothing was caught.

Because the explosion of the gunpowder depot was widely involved, the six ministries of the imperial court were busy with disaster relief, and the emperor had no time to care about him. Chu Yuan could only accept the results of the investigation, and hurried back to the palace to return his order.

Su Yan sent Shen Qi back to Shen's residence to recuperate.After handing Shen Qi to the maidservants to settle down, he said very apologetically: "Qilang, I've been busy with things recently, and I will continue to work on the Baizhifang bombing. I really can't ask for leave. I'll come see you at night."

Shen Qi said: "The one who should feel sorry is me. When I'm so busy, I can't accompany you to share your worries and problems. After a few days, this hindering injury will heal up, so I'll go find you. "

Su Yan scolded: "Nonsense, how many days will it take for your injury to heal? Obediently recuperate at home, and don't make me worry. If I find out that you haven't been lying down for a month, and you come out to make troubles again, I won't let you go." !"

Shen Qi smiled: "Alright, whatever you say is what you say."

After Su Yan left, Shen Qi ordered the steward of the mansion to go to Beizhen Fusi to call his two confidantes, Shi Yanshuang and Wei Ying.

As soon as the door was closed, the three of them started talking in secret.

Su Yan walked out of Shen's mansion and got into the hired carriage alone, suddenly felt that he had become a single-handed hero.

A hero is a hero, but after getting used to being with someone, walking alone is always a bit lonely.

Qilang was injured and recuperated, Ah Zhui was not around, the emperor was busy with state affairs, young master... what is young master doing?You can't still copy scriptures in Taimiao.He visited Li Shoufu a few days ago, and euphemistically suggested that the other party should come forward to invite the prince back to the palace.Li Chengfeng also had this intention, saying that he would take the lead in going up and down, and handed the emperor and the crown prince a ladder to go down.

He also chatted with him about matters related to Shaanxi Mazheng with great interest.It can be seen that Li Chengfeng also feels that the long-standing malpractices need to be swept away by wind and thunder, and he is a reformer who is old but still vigorous.

Su Yan and the chief assistant of the cabinet and minister of the official department are nominally master and disciple, but in fact they don't have much friendship. It was only because of the pairing in the palace examination that a fight broke out between the two sides. Temper is really hot" initial impression.

After that, Li Chengfeng paid a lot of attention to Su Yan's political stance and ways of doing things, and even said to the officials who questioned Su Yan: "It is easy for the censor to kill one or two corrupt officials, but it is easy to save the government and live the life of the people." Difficult. If you were to pick up Su Qinghe's errand, I'm afraid he wouldn't be half as effective. If you don't believe me, I will ask His Majesty to make you a special censor, and let Shanxi's Ma Zheng give you a try? "

The opponent was so angry that he backed away.

After hearing this, many officials thought that Li Shoufu was protecting his weaknesses, and made fun of him, saying: "From now on, in front of Mr. Li Ge, we will only praise him for teaching a good disciple. Remember to remember that."

Those who can really see the huge national benefits and benign development that this reform will bring in eight or ten years are only some people of insight who praise Su Yan in every possible way.

Therefore, Su Yushi's reputation in the court became more and more polarized after he overthrew Feng Qu'e and proposed to establish Tiangongyuan.

Those who scolded him said that this boy did not follow the way of Confucius and Mencius, but was whimsical, and he used politics to disrupt the place and eliminate dissidents.It is praised that Mr. Su has a heart for the people of the country and a vision, and he is really a genius who does not come out once in a century.

But the officials who scolded him, no matter how much they scolded him in private, had to admit one thing - Su Yan was extremely favored and could not be easily offended.

Even the Wei family who sent someone pretending to be a bandit to break into Su's mansion at night to cut his nose, would not use such a low-level and contemptuous method with the mentality of trampling ants to death, instead of taking the position of prince from the bottom of the pot. .

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Su Yan almost hit the wall, and asked, "What happened?"

The coachman replied: "There is a carriage in front of us, blocking our way, it looks like it belongs to a rich family."

Su Yan was opening one side of the car curtain to look out, when a figure came in from the other side of the curtain and hugged him fiercely: "Haha, did you startle me?"

No surprises, but it is true to say that Cao Cao is Cao Cao.Su Yan broke the prince's hand vigorously, and suddenly found that the brat not only grew in size, but also gained strength, so he couldn't move it.

Zhu Helin proudly said: "If I can be moved by you, my martial arts training in the past few years will be in vain."

Su Yan muttered depressingly: "Am I the only one in the whole world who doesn't know martial arts?"

He was suffocated by the boy's arm, and finally surrendered: "I lost, I lost, please let me go."

Only then did Zhu Helin hold back his strength and took his hand instead, "This carriage is very cramped, let's go and talk in the little carriage."

Before Su Yan had time to agree or disagree, he was pulled into another carriage by him.

The prince's exclusive carriage was indeed spacious and comfortable, covered with soft felt blankets, and there was no shortage of charcoal stoves and refreshments.Zhu Helin pressed Su Yan on the cushion of the seat, and stuffed a pack of boned abalone into his hand, and said, "I asked Yushanfang to improve the formula and made different flavors, including various fruit flavors, and Tea flavor, would you like to try it?"

Su Yan picked up one and ate it. It was the fragrant and slightly astringent green tea flavor, which blended with milk to create a wonderful taste, which was a bit like the milky green pudding of later generations.He sighed contentedly, and said, "It's been a long time since I've thought about tasting desserts, thank you young master. Speaking of which, you just came back from the Taimiao and sneaked out of the palace again?"

"It's not sneaking around." Zhu Helin explained while having tea, "The gunpowder magazine exploded, and the area around Baizhifang was severely damaged. The ruins must be cleared and the houses must be rebuilt, which cannot be done overnight. However, if thousands of victims are not resettled well, it will easily lead to turmoil. "

Su Yan also felt that placing the victims in temples, Taoist temples, or even commercial firms and yamen shacks was only an emergency measure after all.If there is no overall management, the ills will be exposed in a short time.

Not to mention the panic among the people under the fence, if the officials in the middle deceive the top and the bottom, embezzle the relief supplies, or distribute them unevenly or fail to operate, those victims who lack food and clothing and cannot receive timely treatment for injuries will join forces to make trouble, or steal Or rob, or simply become a bandit.

Zhu Helin said: "So I have a tradition in my dynasty. The prince or even the crown prince takes the lead in organizing disaster relief near Gyeonggi. Firstly, it allows the clan to experience the hardships of the people, and secondly, it also makes the people appreciate the royal family's kindness."

You know, it's a good opportunity to gain popular support and reputation, Su Yan thought.In the case of many princes, which prince to handle this matter can reflect how much the emperor attaches importance to him, and it is probably a fat job.However, there is only one older prince, Zhu Helin, in this dynasty. As for the second prince, he is still a toddler, so naturally he will not be considered.

Zhu Helin said: "Master, I must do my part, and I must do it beautifully. To make those sloppy officials impeccable, and to make Wei's desire to fight for the reserve sooner."

Su Yan stared at him with a serious face: "There is one more important thing that His Highness didn't mention."

Hearing that he suddenly changed his name to "Your Highness", Zhu Helin's heart began to beat, as if he was facing a monthly exam paper, no matter how well prepared he was, he was still apprehensive when he first started writing.

He sat up straight involuntarily, and said solemnly: "The most important thing is that these disaster victims can be properly resettled, not only to save the temporary emergency, but also to let them have full confidence and a sense of belonging to the royal family, the court, and my great name .We must let them twist their hearts into one rope and devote themselves to the construction of the new home, so as not to cause population loss and change people's minds."

Su Yan showed an appreciative smile, "Your Highness has really grown up, and has the demeanor of the future king of a country. Since ancient times, many overlords have used people's hearts as bargaining chips and means of building momentum. They can be used for a while, but not forever. It’s true, but they don’t know which ruler is really making them live a good life. They know very well in their hearts. It’s just that the people in the Central Plains are generally docile, and they won’t rebel unless they are forced to a corner.”

Zhu Helin nodded as he listened, and finally promised: "Qinghe, don't worry, I didn't use disaster relief as a means of gaining fame, and I will definitely do my best to let the people live a better life."

Su Yan patted the crumbs of dim sum between his fingers, and solemnly held Zhu Helin's hand, "If Your Highness does not change his original intention, I will follow my assistant for the rest of my life."

This is not the "one life" that was forcibly pressed in front of the god tablet of the Taimiao, but the "life" that Qinghe voluntarily promised. Zhu Helin's eyes turned red with excitement.

Holding his hand was not enough to express his surging emotions, so he pulled Su Yan over and hugged him, "Talk is not proven, kiss as proof?"

Su Yan was stunned at first, then annoyed, and unceremoniously gouged the back of his head with his knuckles: "How old are you, so I just learn those sloppy words, what I heard in the market, or read it from the script? Wait until I get down." The first time I go to the East Palace, I will burn the Fengyue storybook you hid in the bedside cabinet!"

Zhu Helin ate the chestnuts, covered the back of his head, and grinned and shouted: "I committed a crime, killed the king, and murdered my husband!"

Su Yan became even more angry, looking for handkerchiefs from left and right to stuff his mouth.

Zhu Helin snatched the sweat towel from his hand, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are always frowning lately, just to make you happy, don't take it seriously."

Su Yan let out a breath of anger, and only half of it dissipated, and he felt that he was easily aroused, wouldn't he be as knowledgeable as a kid?It's really getting better and better.So he said with a straight face: "Don't play hooligans to me in the future... Also, those dirty words can't be said to anyone, it will damage the king's prestige."

Zhu Helin didn't take it seriously at all, secretly thinking that the young master will not only play hooliganism on you, but will also play tricks on you in the future, to see what you can do to me.He promised in his mouth: "Su Yushi's words are reasonable, and he is worthy of a clear character. The young master has been educated."

"But I don't know about one thing." He changed the subject and asked maliciously, "Who made that red mark on Su Qingliu's neck by a hooligan?"

Su Yan felt guilty, and his first reaction was to stretch out his hands to cover his neck.

Thinking about it again: No, Ah Zhui has been away for several days, and Shen Qi has been stopped by the Vajras all the time. Last night in the Hall of Mental Cultivation... The emperor didn't kiss his neck, so who gnawed on this red seal? from?Could it be mosquito bites... There are mosquitoes in this weather?

Seeing him in a daze, Zhu Helin seemed to be recalling again and again, immediately knocked over the bottle of vinegar, and said in a low voice: "Well, more than one adulterer and adulterer have been scammed! Is this going to Linhua Pavilion to fool around for private reasons, or is it with the emperor again?" flirting with each other?"

Su Yan became furious and threw a cushion at him, "What are you talking about! Who is the adulterer and who is the whore? I went to Linhua Pavilion, and I didn't even touch a young lady's hand, and I was caught whoring! And you, a son, did you say that about your father? Isn’t this just looking for something!”

It didn't hurt to be hit by the cushion, Zhu Helin took a few hits, rushed over and pulled off Su Yan's collar, ignoring the opponent's struggle, and firmly sucked and bit a bright red mark on the side of the neck near the collarbone.

In the end, he licked his tiger teeth and said, "It turns out that I was the young master, playing a hooligan."
