I, who only wanted to be a foolish king, became an emperor through the ages?

The worried Xia Taian didn't notice Huang Batian and Xuelongwei standing behind Xia Jiuyou.

When hearing his words.

They all lowered their heads unnaturally.

These things were all done on the way they came from Xuelong City.

Whether it's organizing people to make trouble, or spreading rumors along the way.

It's all done by His Majesty's will.

King Qin, who didn't know it, wanted to persuade Xia Jiuyou.

But he just opened his mouth.

It was interrupted by Xia Jiuyou quickly raising his hand.

"Uncle, there is no need to say more."

"The construction of the Grand Canal is necessary, besides, isn't Zhuge Long also strongly supporting this matter?"

What Xia Taian said was speechless.

He naturally knew that his elder nephew was right.

And the prime minister Zhuge Long is even more scheming.

Both of these men joined forces to agree on things.

Even if it is unreasonable, he can find more than a dozen reasons why he must do it.

"Okay, I just remind you."

"Seeing that it's getting late, I won't bother you anymore."

Xia Taian got up and was about to leave the bedroom.

But the body stood up.

Still no movement.

He said with a slightly twisted expression.

"These people, do you think I brought them there directly, or?"

Xia Jiuyou couldn't help but laugh.

But from this, I can also see how much my uncle attaches great importance to Xue Longwei's top power.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, I still have some things to explain to them."

"They all came from reckless backgrounds, and they still need your uncle to take care of them when they are in the barracks."

Xia Taian rubbed her hands.

There was unconcealable anticipation in his eyes.

"It's nothing to worry about. I'll raise their ranks to the first rank of Xiaoqi Participating Leaders."

"It will definitely not let the brothers suffer."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Xuelongwei secretly rejoiced.

King Qin's promise is not insignificant.

Opening your mouth is a dozen or so official positions from the fifth rank.

Although in the end it was still a job as a guard.

But in the official position, he is superior.

Before the Xuelong City rebellion, these people were nothing but reckless people.

How could he have thought that such a high-ranking official and rich salary could be achieved in the future.

"Hurry up and send King Qin off."

Xia Jiuyou said softly.

Immediately afterwards, there was another shout of mountains and tsunamis.

After sending Xia Taian away.

Xia Jiuyou asked one of Xuelongwei to take off his clothes.

He disguised himself as him with aura and sneaked into the team.

As for this man, he could only borrow a set of eunuch's clothes nearby and put them on first.

"Let's go, let's go to the Governor's Mansion to take office together."

After the preparations were completed, Xia Jiuyou took Huang Batian and others out.

……

"My lord, the Ministry of Household Affairs really can't come up with so much money."

Zhuge Long glanced at the servant of the household department who kept telling him bitterness and pretending to be pitiful.

Pick up the teacup on the table and gently blow off the foam on it.

"My lord, the matter of the Grand Canal is related to the century-old national fortune of my Great Xia."

"What's the use of crying poor with me now?"

In the past few days, his ears have become callused hearing such words.

After the household department finished crying, the engineering department cried.

Even Jing Zhaoyin's people came to him to complain about the restlessness of the people in the city.

"Your Majesty wants one generation to do what three generations have done."

"This is a foundation for generations to come. If you say you don't have the money, don't do it."

"At that time, when you are underground in Jiuyou, your children and grandchildren will poke your spine and question you."

Zhuge Long persuaded him earnestly.

Facing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty these days.

He has said everything good and bad.

Threats and temptations are commonplace.

However, the construction of the Grand Canal is a project that consumes a lot of people's resources.

His Majesty chose to start work at this time.

"Master Prime Minister, there is really no way to start work this season."

"The water level is urgent right now. It is raining all over the country and the water level is rising."

"It's too difficult to start construction at this time. The people who built the canal can't do it even if they have the strength."

The servant from the household department hadn't left yet, and the people from the Ministry of Industry rushed over again.

Zhuge Long sighed slowly.

Even if he supports and believes in Xia Jiuyou's judgment strategically,

But now the severe pressure is mounting.

After all, he is just a prime minister.

In this kind of matter, there is simply not enough authority to deal with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

"The decree has arrived!"

"Prime Minister Xuan Zhuge Long and Li Linpu accept the order!"

A sharp voice sounded at the door of the meeting hall.

Zhuge Long felt something when he saw Wei Zhongxian who came to announce the decree.

This is the eunuch who serves His Majesty every day.

He came here specially from Jiangnan.

It can be seen that this purpose must be extraordinary.

Many ministers raised their court clothes and knelt down to the ground.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Zhuge Long put down his teacup and knelt down on the ground together with Li Linpu.

"The minister accepts the order and greets His Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian slowly unfolded the yellow scroll of handkerchief.

"I'm safe."

"Bong, Emperor Tian Chengyun, the imperial edict says."

"There must be disagreements among the court officials regarding the construction of the canal. I have authorized Zhuge Long to use the Fangfang sword, and all the power in the court is in his hands. He has the right to cut first and then play."

"Another pair of maces will be given to Li Linpu, the one who beats the emperor unconsciously, and the one who beats the sycophants. This is my honor."

After the decree was read out, the court was in an uproar.

Everyone knows that Zhuge Long and Li Linpu are now firmly on His Majesty's side.

Advocates building the Grand Canal at all costs.

Originally, the ministers could delay for a while.

But now His Majesty directly let go of the power of life and death.

It further revealed His Majesty's determination to build the Grand Canal.

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En!"

Zhuge Long took the Shangfang sword from Wei Zhongxian's hand.

They exchanged glances with Li Linpu who took the Kanglong mace.

The two smiled at each other.

"At the beginning, the prime minister advised me not to follow the lonely path."

"Now the two of us are walking side by side, can we still be regarded as lonely ministers?"

The corners of Li Linpu's mouth rose slightly.

He looked meaningfully at the prime minister in front of him.

"Not alone, with His Majesty's support, how can you be considered a lonely minister?"

There was a fiery look in Zhuge Long's eyes.

Being able to make contributions on the battlefield is naturally a feat.

But what the two of them are about to do right now is an immortal feat that can be passed on for generations to come.

Why cherish this body if you can plan for the world?

The vigorous construction of the Grand Canal began.

Under the auspices of two capable ministers who are almost in charge of the government.

Starting from Tai'an in the north and reaching Yangzhou in the south, the construction of thousands of kilometers of canals began.

Even if some practitioners participate in it.

But the main force is still large-scale civilian husbands.

People in the millions were selected by corvee.

"Hurry up!"

"There are still forty miles to dig today, so don't be lazy!"

"If no one can't finish their work, there will be no Lingshi!"

The small official who supervised the work shuttled through this small section of the canal with a small book.

Once you find out who doesn't work hard, write him down in the notebook.

I remember the number of times, not only did I work hard every day, but I didn’t get anything.

There is additional logistical work to be undertaken.

"Really, isn't this treating us like livestock?"
