Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]
Chapter 11 The Yellow River Floods
Wanyan Chuo seized love with a knife, snatching someone from Li Renyuan, who had a small stomach and guts. He thought that Li Renyuan would be steadfast, and he was even ready to enter the palace at any time to plead guilty to the King of Jin and the concubine Yuan. Knowing that Li Renyuan can really bear it, several days have passed, as if this had never happened, and he went to Yingchun Pavilion every day to drink flowers and wine, to have fun, and someone with good things asked him about the little girl he raised in Yingchun Pavilion some time ago. How could the beauty suddenly disappear?Li Renyuan never answered directly, and made jokes, automatically filtering out this topic.
As time passed, more and more people were interested, but unfortunately, Li Renhui had a stubborn mouth, and Nuan Chun kept his mouth shut about it. For a while, all kinds of gossip and gossip were applied among the rich and powerful in Central Capital, and there were all kinds of rumors.Even so, Li Renyuan, who was in the middle of the storm, still stood still, despite the ups and downs from outside, he still remained motionless like a mountain, which seemed a bit calm and unhurried.
Wan Yan Chenghui was very proud when he learned about it, thinking that this was Li Renyuan's compromise with the emperor's eldest grandson. The prince's party and the Yuan concubine's party have been fighting for so long, and each has its winners and losers. He didn't even know what to say.
Wan Yanchuo couldn't bear to hurt Wan Yan Chenghui's joy, but in his heart he gave Brother Li Renyuan the title of an old fox. Come on, this Li Renyuan is not necessarily an idiot.
"My lord, His Royal Highness ordered the kitchen to specially prepare honey osmanthus cake for you..." Si Tui is now in charge of taking care of Wanyan Chuo's diet and daily life. Trust and admiration, but vaguely, Wanyan Chuo felt that he was too talented and useless. Wanyan Xu once recruited a master in martial arts, and wanted to teach Si Tui martial arts, but Si Tui politely declined. He is not afraid of hardship, but if you want to practice martial arts, Si Tui had to leave Wanyan Chuo for training, Si Tui couldn't bear it, he and Wan Yan Chuo were about the same age, they hit it off right away, and Wan Yan Chuo treated him unreservedly, which moved Si Tui very much, a man dies for his confidant, Si Tui early Now that he has the consciousness for Wanyan Chuo, he will never agree to let him leave now, as long as he can stay by Wanyan Chuo's side, even if he is a cow or a horse, he will have no second thoughts.
After all the good words, Si Tui is still stubborn, there is no way, Wanyan Chuo can only shake his head and sigh, don't do to others what you don't want, he himself is not willing to practice martial arts, it is impossible to force Si Tui to practice martial arts, he is not yet so brazen.However, as expected, he has never had any relationship with martial arts in his life, and originally wanted to cultivate a peerless master. Well, people are as unwilling to practice martial arts as he is, which is really troublesome.
Before the big internal master left, he was very regretful, saying that Si Tui had a very good foundation, and he was a good martial arts seedling, what a pity!Pity!
Wan Yanchuo also asked Si Tui, and repeatedly said that if he was willing to follow him, he would definitely leave a place for him by his side. After Si Tui returned from school, he could serve him better. Si Tui hesitated. After a while, he shook his head and refused. For a child like him, the future is too variable, and planning for the long run is not as good as taking care of the present.
The matter of practicing martial arts is nothing.
Seeing Si Tui running up and down to take care of his basic necessities, Wanyan Chuo was very envious, if only he could jump out of the flames so easily.
Last night, Wanyan Hongxi sneaked over to tell him that the matter had been resolved, and wanted to persuade him to return to the Rong Palace, but Wanyan Chuo flatly refused. Wanyan Hongxi looked at his son very worriedly, for fear that the only heir Hearing the slander, he has been separated from himself since then, who knows that Wanyan Chuo didn't care at all, and directly confessed to him that he didn't listen to the slander and refused to return to the Rong Palace, but that he didn't want to practice martial arts, and even threatened Wanyan Hongxi If I don't get my mother out of the way and let her give up the idea of forcing myself to practice martial arts, I won't go back to the Rong Palace, and I will forcefully make Wanyan Hongxi so angry that the first Buddha came out of his body, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven. Don't give Wanyan Chuo a chance to speak again.
Wan Yanxu, who watched the whole process silently, couldn't help shaking his head, these two father and son!I am afraid that some will be worn out in the future.
Wanyan Chuo felt very guilty. If he hadn't acted willfully and recklessly, he wouldn't have caused his mother to be so worried. However, he couldn't compromise on the matter of practicing martial arts. If he jumped into that pit of fire, he would never be able to get out again. Wanyan Chuo didn't want to risk his future bet.
Wanyan Hongxi loves Lou Xinyue as much as his life. Visiting Wanyan Chuo is the second priority. The main purpose is to bring Wanyan Chuo back to the Rong Palace. However, Wanyan Chuo is unwilling. There is no other way. This son is spoiled by him. Well, Wanyan Hongxi really had nothing to do with Wanyan Chuo. In the end, he came secretly and then left secretly.
Wanyan Chuo didn't know how Wanyan Hongxi explained it to Lou Xinyue after he went back, but after this incident, he was not in a good mood at all, and he could tell that he was thinking about retreating. The Shizi was very unhappy, even if it was His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, specially ordered the kitchen to prepare his favorite pastry, and the eldest son was also in a lack of interest.
"No appetite, take it down." Wan Yanchuo made a pot of tea with his own hands, and while tasting the tea, he told Si Tui: "Si Tui, go to the study to get the book "Mr. Wei's Art of War" that I didn't finish reading last night. Come."
Just as Si Tui was about to take orders to leave, he heard Wan Yan Chenghui's bluffing voice from outside: "Master, is His Royal Highness the eldest grandson here?"
At this time, Wanyan Chenghui should be helping Wanyan Xu with the affairs of the Daxing Mansion, with his conscientious and conscientious personality, he shouldn't have dropped his official duties and appeared here.
"Hulu was called into the palace by the emperor's grandfather early in the morning..." Seeing Wanyan Chenghui sweating profusely, Wanyan Chuo couldn't help asking curiously, "Did something happen?"
"A major event has happened!" Wanyan Xu was so anxious that his head was covered with cold sweat: "The news came from six hundred miles away from Henan. The Yellow River flooded, destroyed the embankment, flooded countless fields and houses, and the disaster was serious..."
"How come? Didn't you hear that the flood in the Yellow River has been brought under control?"
I remember that when the news of the flooding of the Yellow River first spread in Zhongdu, some people asserted that the prefects and prefectures from all over the country exaggerated the disaster situation infinitely in order to collect money from the treasury and enrich their own pockets. , This kind of alarmist talk has happened in all dynasties, and the dignitaries of the central capital, including the king of the Kingdom of Jin, didn't take it to heart. Who knows that the news has been sent back now, it turns out that the disaster is serious, and the local officials are afraid of taking responsibility. To conceal it?What do these officials think of the common people again!
"Converting black and white, disregarding human life, really..." After all, Wanyan Chenghui is a gentleman, no matter how anxious he is, he will not swear at all, unlike Wanyan Chuo, who provokes him and scolds anything ugly If he comes out, he is not afraid of losing his reputation.
"Hulu is in the palace now, presumably he knows about the disaster!"
"Not only that, this matter is very involved, and His Majesty can't hide it." Wanyan Chenghui must have been impatient, and when he caught Wanyan Chuo, he vomited all his bitterness, and didn't want to tell such a young child about it, because other children wouldn't listen. can understand. "Actually, the top priority is nothing more than money and food. When His Majesty learns that the Yellow River is flooding, he will send an order to the neighboring provinces in the disaster area, ordering them to immediately transfer food to the affected area, and then order the Ministry of Households to allocate money from the treasury to rush to repair the river."
Wanyan Chuo nodded, this is the perfect solution.
"But here is the problem. I just counted the bank deposits in the transfer department a few years ago, and the balance is less than 50 taels. This time, the disaster area is extensive and the disaster is serious. This amount of money is really a drop in the bucket for disaster relief!"
Wan Yanchuo understood that in recent years, the King of the Kingdom of Jin has been building up his palace, and the wealth accumulated from Emperor Sejong's reign has been squandered. It is not surprising that there is such a deficit.
"What's worse is that before I came here, I went to the Ministry of Households to check the actual number of grain stocks in several provinces near the disaster area..."
Wan Yanchuo's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't be so unlucky!
"That's right, it's exactly what the son of the world thinks. The house leaks happen to rain all night, and the broken boat is hit by the headwind. In the past few years, there have been locust plagues and droughts. The grain production has been greatly reduced. The neighboring provinces in the disaster-stricken area are almost out of food. Tune, in the current situation, both money and food are problems, and disaster relief and embankment repairs are needed. It is conservatively estimated that there is a shortage of at least 200 million taels of silver! My son, please persuade His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, to put the country, the country, and the country as the most important thing. If the disaster relief is not done properly, the hearts of the people will be lost!"
"You want Hulu to personally go to the disaster area to relieve the disaster?" Wan Yanchuo was startled, the situation in the disaster area is still unclear, the emperor's eldest grandson, Tianhuang, is the imperial heir, if something goes wrong, who can afford it?
"The most suitable person to go to the disaster-stricken area to raise funds for disaster relief is His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson!"
Wanyan Chuo groaned silently, 200 million taels is indeed not a small amount, even if Wanyan Xu put on the majesty of the emperor's eldest grandson, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake, the local rich and powerful may not obediently buy it. There is nothing you can do about them if they are obedient and obedient, or they cry poorly and act shamelessly.What's more, even if he manages to raise 200 million taels of silver, Wan Yanxu will offend a lot of people because of this. Although the status of businessmen in this era is not high, they are actually grasping the lifeline of the country's economy. The whole body should not be underestimated, Wan Yanxu took over this job, I'm afraid it would be thankless!
As soon as Wanyan Chuo pondered, Wanyan Chenghui knew that he didn't agree with his suggestion, and immediately became anxious. Although Wanyan Chuo was young, they never really treated him as a child: "My lord, if His Royal Highness If you don’t want to go, after reading all the ministers in the court, the only one who can take up this post is Anguojun Jiedu, third-rank Xuanhui envoy, Master Li!”
Speaking of Master Li, Wan Yanchuo couldn't help the toothache. The road to the enemy is narrow. This Master Li is also from a family of relatives. His real name is Li Xi'er, and he is the elder brother of the concubine Yuan. Li Renyuan, who has a grudge, is a brother of a compatriot from the same mother.
The concubine of the Yuan Dynasty is full of heart, but the two brothers are muddy and can't support the wall. Even if the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty supports her, the highest will be a third-rank official, but the king of the Jin Kingdom trusts these two brothers, especially It was Li Renhui, who often went to the border to work on behalf of the King of Jin. Wanyan Chenghui was right. If Wan Yanxu didn't volunteer to ask for orders, with the style of the King of Jin, it is very likely that Li Renhui would go directly to the disaster area to provide relief.It would be fine to say that Li Renhui is a good official who is dedicated to the people, but unfortunately, this person is not only greedy for money and lust, but also a villain who has become rich suddenly and has an extremely treacherous nature. Bitter.
As time passed, more and more people were interested, but unfortunately, Li Renhui had a stubborn mouth, and Nuan Chun kept his mouth shut about it. For a while, all kinds of gossip and gossip were applied among the rich and powerful in Central Capital, and there were all kinds of rumors.Even so, Li Renyuan, who was in the middle of the storm, still stood still, despite the ups and downs from outside, he still remained motionless like a mountain, which seemed a bit calm and unhurried.
