over ten thousand people

Two days later, I ordered to leave for Puzhou.

Puzhou is not far from Tongzhou, and it only takes two or three days for the brigade to walk slowly.Tai Shigong called this place the middle of the world, and there is also a myth that the son of Shennong once lived here, with a long history.If it weren't for this, Si Tiantai wouldn't have chosen Tongtian Ridge to build a mausoleum for his father.

I am not very interested in the theory of Feng Shui.However, the sacrifice of the Jianling Mausoleum should not be taken lightly. Even the local state capital had already made preparations in advance, and it took six or seven days to finish the calculation.Seeing that everyone was flustered with exhaustion, I gave them a two-day vacation, and went to Shanzhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hearing this, Mu Guohua of Puzhou Prefecture hurriedly handed over the brochure, and wanted to invite me to take a look at their newly built Pujiu Temple.I saw that his loyalty was commendable, so I led the ministers for a walk, and finally I wrote a plaque for him with a swipe of a pen.Guo Hua was overjoyed, so he arranged for the Mid-Autumn Festival to play with the moon, as if wishing to present all the best things in front of me.

I have nothing to do with playing with the moon or something.But seeing all the accompanying officials are very happy, I think this is probably not a bad idea.Besides, I have enjoyed the Mid-Autumn Moon in the palace for more than 20 years, and it will be fresher if I look at it in a different place this year.

Guo Hua set the location in the west of Puzhou City.Since then, the Yellow River has meandered by, and a tower with double eaves stands on the bank, named Guanque Tower.Literati and ink writers love to write poems here, and the most famous one is the phrase "If you want to see a thousand miles away, you can go to a higher level."In the middle of the banquet, I quietly climbed to the top of the tower on the pretext of being too drunk.

There is a poem that goes, there is no cloud in thousands of miles to mirror Kyushu, and the most reunion night is the Mid-Autumn Festival.The full moon in the sky may not be able to illuminate all of Kyushu, but the entire Puzhou City is indeed illuminated to every detail.As usual, there is no curfew during the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the city, there are lights and shadows, laughter and laughter, and there are mountains and rivers outside the city.The moon was as bright as ever, and Tongtian Ridge faintly showed the momentum of a tiger dominating a dragon.

No wonder Father himself likes this place, I just think about it.Then, I thought of Xingjing again.Nephew Yongchang just likes to act like a baby, so he doesn't need to worry about it.But the two nephews are really naughty, and they got worse during the holidays. I don't know if my sister is having a headache at the moment.The same goes for the son-in-law, although the princess is the oldest, but she can't always let the two children mess around...

Suddenly, a deep sigh came.

I froze for a moment before realizing that there were still people on the tower.Because it sounded familiar, I turned a corner lightly and saw Xie Jingyu as expected. "Xie Fengge, what a coincidence."

"Your Majesty?" Xie Jingyu didn't expect Zhen to appear from behind him, and was really taken aback. "I have seen Your Majesty." He hastily saluted.

I waved my hand and walked over to stand side by side with him. "It's a rare mid-autumn festival, so don't do such nonsense."

Xie Jingyu obviously didn't take this seriously.Seeing me passing by, he consciously took half a step back. "Why did Your Majesty leave the banquet? Has no one noticed?" He looked downstairs, and there was still a lot of wine and wine on the bank of the Yellow River.

"I told them not to follow." I said briefly, "It was you, Xie Fengge, when did you sneak away?"

"Chen..." Xie Jingyu looked speechless.

Of course I know why he is in trouble.He was born in the former dynasty, how dare he say in front of me that he misses his family?However, even if I can grant him a high official and generous salary, it will not be able to bring him back to life.In the final analysis, fighting with the dead is the most unwise thing; I have made a mistake once, and it is impossible to make a second mistake. "No matter what you say today, I will not punish you."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness," Xie Jingyu explained in a low voice, "but I am indeed fine."

I leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but glance back at him when I heard this. "Then I just heard a ghost sighing?"

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense about ghosts and gods." Xie Jingyu persuaded, not quite agreeing.

I am too lazy to explain to him that there are no such things as ghosts and gods in the world. "Then I'll come and talk to you about the living. People can't be resurrected after death, but they still have to pay homage from time to time. I think this is a waste of national power."

Xie Jingyu's eyes widened in shock.I just paid homage to Jianling, so this can be regarded as disrespectful. "Your Majesty, you..."

"With all this money, it's better to help the people." I continued, not caring what Xie Jingyu wanted to say, "I have already told Guo Zhoumu that the reusable items for this sacrifice should be put into the warehouse, and those that can't be given away. .It’s better to let them eat and use it than to let it rot.”

Xie Jingyu slowly opened his mouth and then closed it, obviously a little shocked. "Your Majesty is so sympathetic to the people, it is really a great blessing for me." He paused, and then said: "I never knew that Your Majesty is so open-minded, I feel ashamed."

But I'm not done yet. "Building a mausoleum on the hillside is indeed magnificent, but it is indeed too labor-intensive. If I am a hundred years old, I only want a mausoleum with thick enough walls. I don't want to be buried with me or a beautiful watch. I don't have any valuables by my side, so it will last for a long time. Sleep peacefully..."

"Your Majesty!" Xie Jingyu was stunned for a while by the meaning behind my words, then he knelt down after realizing it, "Please be careful, Your Majesty!"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, what is there to be cautious about?" Zhen squinted at him.

"Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, how can you be like ordinary people?" Xie Jingyu said anxiously, "Your Majesty will be as beautiful as ever, and live forever!"

"Long live, wouldn't I become an old monster?" I couldn't help laughing, trying to squeeze him.

"--His Majesty!!"

Seeing that his face is pale, I really can't continue to scare him. "Okay, I'm joking with you, get up."

The look on Xie Jingyu's face showed that he didn't think the joke was funny at all, but I said so, and he couldn't argue with me, so he stood up with a serious face.

I haven't seen Xie Jingyu show such a face to me before, so I can't help but look at him twice more in surprise.After all, this person takes what I say to his heart... "So are you going to say it?"

Xie Jingyu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that I haven't forgotten why he sighed earlier. "Chen..." He hesitated for a while, but continued, "I don't miss my homeland, but I just feel emotional."

"tell me the story."

"The general trend of the world is divided and united; dynasties change, but mountains and rivers remain unchanged. A minister born in it is just a drop in the ocean, unable to turn the tide, so there is a sigh."

This is quite reasonable.I nodded, "That's true." Then, I suddenly remembered that on the carriage to Ci'en Temple, Xie Jingyu's expression was sombre, which was somewhat similar to his silence just now. "When you went to the Temple of Mercy, did you also think of this?"

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu was a little surprised. "It turns out that Your Majesty has discovered..." He looked at me, his eyes filled with sincerity, "No matter what happened before, now I wish to serve Your Majesty by my side."

Seeing his expression, I felt a slight move in my heart. "I believe in you."

With just three words, Xie Jingyu's complexion immediately turned cloudy.I have to say that he looks much better with a smile than with a straight face. "Thank you, Your Majesty." He said and wanted to kneel again.

I grabbed his arm. "Come on, you're not too tired, I'm still troublesome." Seeing his astonished expression, I realized what I had done, and hurriedly coughed lightly and withdrew my hand. "I still have something to say."

"But according to His Majesty's orders." Xie Jingyu said immediately.

Inexplicably, I heard the briskness in his tone, Xindao is really a guy who is easily satisfied. "Didn't Guo Zhoumu invite me to Pujiu Temple yesterday? There is a canal on the way there, do you remember?"

"Your Majesty, I do remember that it is the Yongji Canal." Xie Jingyu answered fluently, and then asked: "Yongji Canal has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is often congested. Does Your Majesty want to reopen it?"

I nod my head. "Guo Zhoumu said that the mountains on both sides of the city wall are steep, and every time it rains heavily, the water flows directly into the city of Zhou. I'm afraid he has this intention."

Xie Jingyu frowned, and said after a while: "Water conservancy and water conservancy work are all good things that benefit the local area."

"That's right," I said affirmatively, "Just now I saw the situation of the mountains and rivers outside the city, and I feel that the Yellow River's flow is very fierce during the flood season. If you want to dredge the Yongji Canal, it is better to do it thoroughly - remove it from the city. Extend eastward to the west of the city, set up another water diversion canal, and then town it with Tieniu. If everything goes well, even in May and June, the people will not have to worry about flooding the fertile fields, and they can divert water for irrigation by themselves. The Jin Bridge on the Yellow River, I guess Then, there is no need to spend money on repairs every year.”

I pointed the direction back and forth while talking, but after I finished speaking, Xie Jingyu didn't say a word.I turned my head, only to find that he was staring straight at me with a strange expression on his face. "Why? Xie Fengge thinks there is something unfeasible in my idea?"

"Your Majesty has no such intention." Xie Jingyu immediately clarified, "I just don't know, that's why His Majesty ascended the heights and looked into the distance."

I am angry and funny.Does Xie Jingyu really think that I want to choose a cemetery? "So what does Xie Fengge mean?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Xie Jingyu replied, suddenly took a step back, and gave me a meticulous gift.I didn't understand what he meant, so I heard him say: "I don't have talent, and I dare not compare myself to Zhuge Wuhou; but I am willing to follow Wuhou's ambition, do my best for your majesty, serve the loyalty of chastity, and then die."

I froze slightly.Xie Jingyu said similar words many times, but never touched me so much. "Xie Fengge."

Xie Jingyu raised his head when he heard the words.The moonlight was clear, and there was an indescribable tenderness flowing on his handsome and firm face.I was a little dazed looking at it, and thought that he was really good-looking, no wonder all the men and women in Xingjing City frantically pursued him.

"……His Majesty?"

When I came back to my senses, I realized that I was stunned, and felt ashamed. "You don't even look at the ground and kneel," I deliberately disliked, "Your forehead is covered in ashes!"

Xie Jingyu obviously didn't understand how the topic changed, and wiped his forehead in a daze.

I was amused by his stupidity, "I told you to get up, don't you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Jingyu was a little embarrassed, and his face began to flush.He was even more stunned when he saw my hand stretched out in front of him.

Seeing him looking at me along that hand, I raised my eyebrows.He was quite at a loss and became more and more embarrassed. It took him a while to make up his mind and stood up holding my hand.
