The General and His Enemy Your Highness

Da Chu has set up Sikong for only 20 years. He is in charge of water conservancy and has a third-rank official position. However, floods are beyond people's control.

Shen Changxu has been an official for five years, and has served as Sikong for one year. In recent years, floods have not occurred frequently, so he sat very securely as Sikong, until King Xiping came to Linzhang with great fanfare. Everyone was in danger. , When he received the order from King Xiping to open the gate to release the water, he also learned that King Xiping had personally led people out of the city.

He really didn't expect His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince to threaten him with his life. Ever since he heard about King Xiping's safety, he has been worried all day long. As expected, within two days, the things he has done for five years as an official have been sent to the gate of the palace one by one every day. .

Shen Sikong was so frightened that he couldn't sleep or eat, he couldn't bear it after all, and he couldn't figure out what King Xiping meant, so he came to see him as a last resort.

This man was thirty-five, and he had a square face with upright and awe-inspiring features. He was tall and burly, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed firmly and said, "My lower official, Shen Changxu, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Xiping, His Royal Highness Fifth Prince." .”

Mei Geng held his lips coldly, sneered, and said meaningfully: "Master Shen, what a great authority."

Shen Changxu knew that what he was talking about was disobedience and disobedience a few days ago. At that time, he wanted to sacrifice Linzhang to keep Lu County. Who would have thought that the rain would stop the next day, so he trembled in fright and dared not lift his head. His head was full of cold sweat, he swallowed his saliva, and said tremblingly: "I am guilty, I am guilty."

He thought that King Xiping had already grasped the handle but never attacked him, because there was room for reversal in this matter, but he didn't know that Mei Geng had already seen through his luck, King Xiping slowly retracted his wide sleeves, his eyes were full of sarcasm and anger The chill is like the winter frost in the Tianshan Mountains, the inexhaustible coolness of the forest.

"Master Shen, tell me why you are here." The cold spring-like voice was sweet, but Shen Changxu was not allowed to get up.

Shen Changxu knelt down and did not dare to get up, cold sweat gathered on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "I am guilty of a crime, this trip is to ask the prince for a way to survive, and I hope the prince will give advice."

How dare I say it.

Mei Geng sneered, his gaze became more and more serious, he got up suddenly, and stepped down the steps.

A pair of silver cloud pattern ink shoes appeared in front of Shen Changxu's eyes, and the next moment, the foot wearing luxurious ink shoes kicked hard on his shoulder, and his body flew upside down in an instant, hitting the door panel with a bang.

"Master Shen, you almost cut off this king's life, why dare you ask me for a life?"

When the sneer came, Shen Changxu was stunned, and then he was pulled back to his senses by the severe pain, and he knelt up on the ground, enduring the pain and leaning towards Mei Geng's feet, and said again and again: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan knows Wrong, please spare my life, my lord is benevolent, my lord, please spare my life."

His Highness the Fifth Highness rested his chin and looked at it quietly, thinking that he didn't know where Mr. Shen saw Mei Geng's benevolence.

The benevolent King Xiping took a step back in disgust, and said in an understated tone: "This king wants to dig a canal, and Master Shen, as the water capital Sikong, should also contribute to the water conservancy."

Shen Changxu immediately understood, "The lower official understands that the lower official's family has a little property, and he is willing to use it to dig canals for the benefit of the people."

"Go back." Mei Geng seemed to have achieved his goal, and didn't want to say more.

"I'll take my leave." Shen Changxu hastily bowed his head and retreated after the catastrophe. If he raised his head, he would definitely see a taunt on the corner of Mei Geng's lips.

Fang Ren, who was watching the play outside, was stunned and couldn't believe it: "No, he, he, he, he just let that Shen Changxu go?"

Qin Gui glanced at him expressionlessly, expressed his disgust and sarcasm with his eyes, and said, "Would the lord allow him to buy his life with money?"

"Then what is he?" Fang Ren wondered.

Qin Gui didn't answer, but said meaningfully: "Smart is born."

"..."

Fang Ren immediately exploded and drew his sword to fight Young Master Qin to the death.

The next day, Shen Changxu's life money went to Mei Geng, and his criminal evidence was also sent to Yong'an.

It forced Chu Ce to almost commit suicide, and because of the heavy rain, he was sick for half a month. Mei Geng would not allow him to live, but when Chu Ce asked him why he asked for money, Mei Geng said sincerely: "This king is poor, so I can't live alone." Take the shovel and dig the canal."

Chu Ce was speechless, and then remembered that the noble King Xiping was actually poor and white.

Back then, the Xiping Prince's Mansion was considered to have some wealth, but after several years of fighting, all the money was spent on the front of the battle. After the Northwest War, Mei Geng could not be called a poor family, but he was indeed poor.

In a blink of an eye, it was Bailu, the autumn was getting stronger, and the new county magistrate who came from a long way to take office finally arrived in Linzhang. A descendant of Shangshu Luo Kuan's family.

The new official took office three fires, Xin Zhi just changed into the official uniform, and did not go to the yamen, the fire went to the Sikong mansion, holding the imperial decree and the documents of the Ministry of punishment, and led the people to turn Shen Changxu's mansion upside down.

When receiving the news, Mei Geng was coaxing His Royal Highness to have a meal with a bowl of milk and red bean porridge. He said that he did not bring five flavors during this trip, so he personally served His Highness.

Something that had been expected for a long time, couldn't be more interesting than feeding His Highness. King Xiping, who was obsessed with this way, felt that it was a lot of fun. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Chu Ce's white lips, and immediately squinted his eyes.

"Indeed." The little highness nodded solemnly with a white beard.

Qin Gui, who witnessed everything, turned a blind eye, turned around and went out so as not to disturb the two of them.

Before finishing a bowl of porridge, he came to report again: "My lord, County Magistrate Xin brought the things found from Shen's residence to see him."

Mei Geng, who was just about to shut him out, thought of the things Magistrate Xin had brought, succumbed to the stench of copper, and said softly, "Let him in."

By the way, he wiped off the milk on His Highness's lips.

Chu Ce:? ?

When he realized it, His Highness Fifth Prince's ears were red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed. He gave His Highness King Xiping a hard look, then straightened his clothes, and sat upright like jade.

County magistrate Xin happily entered the door, and handed over a paper gift list, including the items found in the Shen residence, and a stack of land deeds. He smiled with round eyes, "I heard that the prince wants to dig a canal, so it must be the When using money, please look over it.”

Mei Geng half-closed his eyes, glanced at the past, and gritted his teeth secretly. Shen Changxu's rich family fortune even made him jealous. It seems that sitting in this position of office has gained a lot of benefits these years, and the money sent to buy his life last time was not enough for this Thirty percent of the gift list.

After watching calmly and calmly, King Xiping raised his head and praised: "I admire the righteous deeds of County Magistrate Xin, but I will hand over the stolen money to this king. Yong'an—"

"Don't worry, my lord." Xin Zhi was still smiling, "The lower officials have already withdrawn [-]%, and they will make another order. With Mr. Yongan here, no one will pursue it."

The gentleman he was talking about was naturally Luo Kuan who was far away in Yong'an.

Mei Geng nodded slowly, "This time there is the County Magistrate Lao Xin."

"Your Majesty's words are serious." Xin Zhi returned the salute, caught a glimpse of the young Highness sitting upright, and said with a smile: "I heard His Highness's name earlier, but I didn't dare to meet him rashly. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Before coming to Yong'an, he had received a secret letter from his husband, mentioning this unknown Fifth Highness, vaguely implying that he was a hidden person. Now that he saw him, the young man was gentle, like a beautiful jade, and his whole body seemed to be You Ruowu had a bookish air, at first he thought he was harmless, but after careful inspection, he realized that even if he stood shoulder to shoulder with King Xiping, he could not be ignored.

A gentleman is dignified, with pearls and jade hidden inside.

Chu Ce nodded, and said softly, "Master Xin is guilty, there is no need to be polite."

Xin Zhi stopped talking, and resigned and left with great sense of humor. He happened to meet Fang Duxiao who was doing nothing, and the lively county magistrate Xin dragged the newly acquainted Fang Duxiao to the street to eat wontons.

King Xiping put down the gift list, picked up the uncooled porridge and prepared to feed it, and asked casually, "How is this person?"

Chu Ce lightly parted his pale lips, and spit out two words: "Available."

Mei Geng nodded, he was originally Luo Kuan's student, but he came to Linzhang to help him at this time, he is smart and knows how to judge the situation, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and quite satisfied, after a while, he sighed softly: "It's a pity that the matter of the canal is still inconclusive. "

"It should be soon." Chu Ce gently held the palm with well-defined knuckles, and bent his eyebrows and eyes gently.

As Chu Ce said, there was a lot of controversy about the canal. Even if the construction started, the courtiers were more willing to keep the old and build dams. Until the flooding of the Zhang River, many towns were damaged and the people suffered catastrophe.As soon as this incident happened, most courtiers asked for an order to dig the canal. It was not until the beginning of October that the matter of digging the canal was finalized.

In winter, it is very cold in the north, and there are ice floes on the Zhanghe River, and there are thousands of miles of snow.

Chu Ce's body is weak, and he is more afraid of the cold. He seldom goes out after winter. The silver charcoal is burning in the room, and the screen is slumped behind. hand pot.

Seeing this, Mei Geng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stretched out his hands to pinch the exposed warm cheeks, "Lu Zhibei sent a prescription over here to mend your body, the medicine is ready."

His Highness the Fifth Prince who was reading the book paused for a moment, and immediately closed the book. On the blue leather was written three words——Yaojun Biography.

Seeing the title of the book, Mei Geng's expression twisted for a moment, then he took it away from His Royal Highness's hand, glanced at it, and found that it was actually a book about the love between men, and even the mutual affection between master and student, so he took a deep breath , closed the book abruptly, and said with a straight face: "You are young, why don't you take a good look at the way of governing the country, what do you do with these things?"

Chu Ce yawned, but Quan pretended he didn't hear it. King Xiping narrowed his eyes and asked forcefully, "Where did this come from?"

His Royal Highness closed his eyes, and lazily replied, "Master Xin sent someone to deliver it yesterday. It's a stack."

King Xiping: "..."

If Xin Zhi became the prime minister, he must be a treacherous minister who slanders and deceives the Lord. Look, now he has started to lead Chu Ce to not do his job properly!

Because His Highness the Fifth Highness was passive and lazy to study, King Xiping confiscated all the books of ghosts in a fit of anger, and sent them to Mr. Xin's mansion, sternly warning him not to mess around with His Highness Fifth.

Master Xin was speechless for a while when he heard about this, he was puzzled, wondering if King Xiping was adopting his son?

"The Demon Lord's Linkage Theater"

Mei Geng slammed the storybook angrily: Absurd!Disgraceful!

Xi Chen:? ? ?What do you think of me.

Mei Geng: Hmph, being old doesn't respect you.

Xi Chen: Heh, a scumbag is not worthy.
