[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

Chapter 30 The Night Comes

I didn't care to find out why the brochure that was sent out half a month ago didn't arrive in my hand until today.Zhaoyang clenched his fist to his lips, pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision: "Qingshan, please call Lulin to come."

Knowing that the situation cannot be delayed, Qingshan rushed out.

Zhaoyang picked up a pen and started to write in a hurry. Now, it is impossible to build the dam before the rainy season. The time is urgent and the project is too huge.Qinghe is the second largest river in Liuguo after the Huaihe River and crosses Junzhou. Liaozhou is next to Junzhou and is located in the lower reaches of Qinghe River.For the current plan, Junzhou can only send soldiers on the border between the two states to help Liaozhou evacuate the people.The power to manage the river has always been in the hands of the king. Without the royal seal of the king, the governor of the state is not allowed to build dikes and dams at will.

Zhaoyang can probably imagine that no matter whether she took remedial measures or not, the common people would complain to her more or less after this incident.The raging river slopes down and everything will be destroyed.

The problem of food and clothing has not been solved, and the home is gone, which is really worse.

After stamping the imperial seal on the paper, Zhao Yangzai carefully folded it up and put it in the envelope, then raised his head and asked He Su: "What do you think the Tai Tuo thinks of this man in Liaozhou?"

"My lord can trust his character." He Su stood in front of her all the time, watched her finish writing the letter, and then sat down beside her.

After hearing He Su's words, Zhaoyang took another blank piece of paper and started to write. She trusted Yingli, so Yingli was the first thing she thought of, and because the Qinghe River was on the border of Liaozhou, so it was from Junzhou. Sending troops will definitely not be slower than Liaozhou.

While writing, He Su suddenly said, "This incident is by no means an accident."

Zhaoyang's hand holding the pen paused, "Why did the Taifu say that?" Seeing that He Su pursed his lips and remained silent, he smiled and said, "The Taifu has enough eyeliner."

He Su picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water. Zhaoyang guessed rightly, although Marquis of Liaozhou was not his man, Uncle Mu of Liaozhou was his man.After the enthronement ceremony, the Marquis of Liaozhou returned to his territory and learned about the breach of the Qinghe dam. He immediately drew up a note and asked people to submit it, but he didn't get a response for a long time.Later, he submitted several times, but there was no response at all. Seeing that the rainy season was approaching, Uncle Mu took the risk and wrote to him privately.After that, he sent people to Liaozhou directly, and brought the booklet back.

A person like him who has a city in his heart is very unwilling to reveal his hole cards. He likes to keep a back hand, which is his guarantee.Just as Zhaoyang doesn't trust him very much, he doesn't trust Zhaoyang either, at least for now.

Not long after, Qingshan came with Lulin. Lulin is now working under the lieutenant general, and his official position is not high, so he is not qualified to participate in the court meeting for the time being.This is the first official meeting with Zhaoyang since he became king.I haven't seen him for a few years, but Lulin has changed a lot. She has lost her childishness when she was young, and now she has more femininity in her. His brows and eyes have the heroic spirit unique to a military commander. He wears neat casual clothes, which is amazing. My eyes lit up.

It is said that the women's university has changed eighteen times, but looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

When Lulin saw Zhaoyang, he respectfully kowtowed and saluted, "My lord."

"Aren't you born with me?" Zhaoyang helped Lulin up, "It's good to call me Zhaoyang just like Qingshan. I couldn't see you before to hide my eyes and ears. I hope you don't get angry with me."

"Qingshan told me about it. Zhaoyang, long time no see." Lulin gave Zhaoyang a big hug.

There is a difference in this comparison, He Su looked at the sisterly love scene in front of him, and drank his saliva expressionlessly.Among the three, he was the only one who still called her Master, and his own people were immediately distinguished from the others.He remembered that when he saw Zhaoyang back then, she was accompanied by two teenagers, namely Qingshan and Yingli.Two years later, they entered the national government one after another, and within a year they were under Changyi's sect.Now one is a governor of the state, and the other is a young Situ in the national government.

And the girl who went to meet him to lure Taihe to meet him, turned around and became his master. The world is impermanent, which is really a wonderful fate.

Zhaoyang also knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so she handed the letter to Lulin and asked: "Please deliver this letter to Yingli yourself, and don't let others know about your going to Junzhou. Be careful on the way. .”

Lulin nodded solemnly, and left with Qingshan, leaving only Zhaoyang and He Su in the study.Zhaoyang sent another letter to He Su: "Teacher, I will entrust you to the Marquis of Liaozhou."

"Please, I don't dare to take the word." He Su took the letter from Zhaoyang with his firm hands, "If the Lord has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

The matter of the Qinghe embankment burst, Zhaoyang let Qingshan and the others act secretly, so no one knew that she had taken measures, and thought she was procrastinating.Finally, an upright official couldn't bear it anymore, and faced the danger of being dismissed, he scolded Zhaoyang in front of all officials at the next day's court meeting.A bunch of polite words, without a single dirty word.The general meaning is that she took bribes before and they just pretended they didn't see it, but now that the lives of several counties are involved, how can she be so leisurely and do nothing?

Zhaoyang listened carefully from the beginning to the end, and waited for her to finish cursing before standing up and asking, "What's your name?"

The only woman standing in the crowd was slightly taken aback by Zhaoyang's thoughtless question, and after a while, she replied with some reluctance: "Xiaguan Wanming."

Wanming originally thought that the king would call the soldiers to drag her out or put her directly in prison. After all, the king's majesty cannot be violated, but she was not afraid, since she dared to do this, she was ready to die.But unexpectedly, Wang applauded suddenly, and she looked up in astonishment, only to see Wang's expression of remorse: "Wanqing's words really enlightened me to realize how unbearable my previous actions were, and I After learning from the painful experience, I decided to reform myself.”

The sudden change made everyone a little overwhelmed. If they had known it would be so easy to make the king repent, why did they struggle for so long.Of course, those who can be officials in the court are not fools. They soon realized that the king was actually playing with them from the beginning to the end.Knowing the way of the king is entirely because who would have thought that Zhaoyang would be a king who does not follow the routine.She doesn't care about her reputation, and she doesn't care whether the historian will give her the title of Hunjun.

Chang Yi glanced at He Su in surprise, and saw that he was sitting there calmly, as if he had already known about this matter.He recalled the day of the enthronement ceremony, when Yingli saw him, she bowed deeply to him: "Please don't be angry with the king, teacher." At first, he thought that Yingli meant that he should not be angry with the king and ignore the government. angry.Unexpectedly, it turned out that he meant this, and Wang Lian lied to him too.

But think about it, it is the most correct way to lie to him. His disappointment and helplessness are the best proof.

Yuanya was not surprised at all, he knew about it earlier than Changyi, but he was still dissatisfied with Zhaoyang, what kind of behavior was she doing?What made him intolerable the most was that the king was a criminal, how could a criminal become a king.

Standing on a high place, Zhaoyang overlooked the officials kneeling on the stone steps, and she could see everyone's expressions. She continued, "So I decided to donate my private treasury as money for disaster relief. As for those who donated to me Those who pay tribute, since you are the first offender, I will also give you a chance to repent, but you'd better go back and figure out if you still have any ill-gotten gains."

"Leave the fundraising to Zhongzai. As for Qinghe, I've already asked someone to handle it. You don't have to worry about Wanqing." Zhaoyang smiled at Wanming.

Wanming's face turned red and turned pale, and Wang was completely following her steps. She didn't know whether she was right or wrong when she said these words.

The Marquis of Junzhou and Marquis of Liaozhou worked together and finally evacuated all the people from the counties downstream of the Qinghe River before the rainy season.The heavy rain continued for a whole week before it gradually stopped.

Zhaoyang was so busy with post-disaster reconstruction work that he didn't have enough manpower, so he had to temporarily put aside the half-beast and sea-keep work.After the rainy season, autumn is approaching, and it is the season of harvesting and planting, and sacrifices are also on the agenda.

"My lord, you need to sincerely pray to the Emperor of Heaven in front of the road log of the Taimiao, so that the Emperor of Heaven will bless the Kingdom of Liu in the coming year..."

"I see." Zhaoyang waved his hand with a headache to make Dazong Bo Suyu stop, "I will leave the sacrificial matter to you. I believe in your ability." Zhaoyang is most troubled by these, all kinds of etiquette , but also to wear heavy dresses.

As soon as Zhaoyang finished speaking, a voice came from the door, "Master, you are being lazy again."

The visitor was dressed in an official uniform, with an official hat on his head, with warm brows and eyes, a face that Zhaoyang was so familiar with.

"Yingli!"

After the Qinghe embankment incident, Zhaoyang was transferred to the state government for his meritorious service in Junzhou, and took up the post of Xiao Sikou, and transferred Wanming to Junzhou.

After Su Yu left, Yingli smiled and sat down in front of her: "What do you want me to do?"

"I have carefully read the information about the people who work in the government." Zhaoyang said in a low voice.

"The result?" Yingli put away her smile.

Zhaoyang shook his head: "Perhaps it is someone who is not recorded in the booklet."

"I can't rule out this possibility, but in this way, it's impossible to catch him all at once. I'll ask someone to check the people around Yuanya carefully."

"By the way, there is one more thing. I don't know if you know it or not. I only found out after seeing the transfer of officials before." Zhaoyang thought for a while and decided to tell Yingli about it.

"what's up?"

"Because of the half-beast, the positions that originally belonged to Qingshan were given to you twice."

After hearing this, Yingli said calmly: "And then? Do you want me to apologize to him?" Yingli seemed displeased when she said this.

Zhaoyang suddenly realized that Yingli was not wrong in this matter: "Sorry, I subconsciously sided with the weak."

Yingli touched Zhaoyang's head, and he understood what she meant: "Don't worry, the teacher told us about this in person, and Qingshan also knew about it. By the way, I met King Yan before, and he asked me to tell You, go see him when you have time."

Originally, Zhaoyang made an appointment with Shang Long, but because the Qinghe incident happened so suddenly, Yingli had to ask Shang Long to discuss the supplies in detail because he was too busy.

Zhaoyang was probably also a little embarrassed, she knew that Yingli liked her, but she still let Yingli go to see Shang Long, but there was no other way, Yingli was the only one who knew that she was with Shang Long.

And the only person she can trust right now.
