[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House
Chapter 49 Meeting
Pashang sacrificial sweep.
Liu Che stood on the stone bridge with his hands behind his back. Although it was spring, the wind still felt a little cool, which seemed to be very refreshing.
The guards and internal servants all followed from a distance. Liu Che stood alone for a while, and suddenly he could imagine what it was like when the late emperor brought Dou Ying to his side and gave Dou Ying a legacy.
Holding the edict in both hands, Dou Ying chased Sheng Jia all the way across the stone bridge in the cool wind, unable to speak out for a long time.
Liu Che closed his eyes. In his whole life, he has only respected three members of the Dou family. The first is the Empress Dowager Dou. Regardless of whether Liu Che and the Empress Dowager share the same political views, the lesson the Empress Dowager taught him The teaching and teaching are something Liu Che will never forget for the rest of his life.
The second one is Dou Ying. No matter whether Dou Ying is a relative or not, no matter how unhappy the Empress Dowager is, Dou Ying is always on Liu Che's side. But in the end, Liu Che couldn't keep him.
The third……
Liu Che opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. The third person was actually a woman.
Six years have passed, and when Liu Che thinks about it, his heart always feels as if someone has sternly grabbed him, and it hurts so much.
Liu Che was still in a daze when suddenly someone tugged at his sleeve. Liu Che lowered his head and saw a half-grown child tugging at his wide sleeve and said with a childish voice, "Father, my son will bring you some clothes." coming."
Liu Che smiled, snorted Liu Ju's head, and said, "So good."
Liu Ju raised his head and said proudly: "Before the son came out with the father, the mother specially told him that it was cold here, and if the father was wearing thin clothes, she would come and give clothes to the father."
When Liu Che heard the word "mother", his expression was unusual for a moment, and then he hugged Liu Ju up and said, "Let's not stand here anymore, we're going back."
Every year after returning from Bashang Sacrifice, Liu Che would go to Princess Pingyang's residence for a visit, and this year will be no exception.
Princess Yang Xinchang knew that the emperor would come, so she deliberately prepared early, because the current Empress Wei came from Princess Pingyang's mansion, so Princess Pingyang can be regarded as a famous person now, and naturally many wealthy families want to treat her The daughter of the family is placed in the princess mansion, waiting for the emperor to come back every year. Maybe with luck, another queen Wei can be conjured from among these people.
Liu Che's chariot came from a distance, and Princess Yang Xinchang led a group of people out to greet him.
Liu Che got out of the car, still holding the little prince Liu Shi in his arms.
Yang Xin said with a smile: "Ji'er seems to have grown taller again."
Because Princess Yang Xinchang's way of speaking and acting is quite gentle on weekdays, children get close to her, and she doesn't often enter the palace, so Liu Ju was very happy to see her rarely, and yelled Want her to hug.
Princess Yang Xinchang carefully took Liu Ju into his arms, and said with a smile, "Not only is it taller, but it's also sinking."
Liu Che walked in with a smile and said, "It's really sinking."
When everyone entered the mansion, they saw there were still people inside, and they turned out to be Taizhu Dou and his second son Chen Yu.
The two knelt down to salute, Yang Xin hurriedly came over and said: "The Grand Master came a few days ago, I counted that the Emperor will also come in the next few days, so I will stay with the Grand Master for a few more days. Sister, it's boring at home."
Looking at Taizhu Dou, Liu Che inevitably thought of Gillian in his heart, and was even more unhappy when he saw Chen Yu.
Since Gillian's death, Chen Yu recommended himself many times because of his similar appearance to his younger sister Gillian.
It's not that Liu Che thinks that Chen Yu is not like his sister Gillian, it's just that the more he resembles him, the less he looks like in speaking and doing things. Without Gillian's transparency and ease, Liu Che can only flatter her with this face. will feel uncomfortable.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yu saw Liu Che, he glanced at Liu Che.
Yang Xin looked at Liu Che's expression, then glanced at Chen Yu, and quickly smoothed things over, saying: "The banquet is ready, and the emperor won't attend the banquet, so we dare not sit down."
Only then did Liu Che say, "Everyone sit down."
Everyone sat down, and Liu Che sat at the top. Since the death of her daughter, Taizhu Dou has restrained her behavior a lot. After all, after the edict passed through her hands, Taizhu Dou, the deceased of Dou Ying's family, was also very disturbed.
Taizhu Dou pampered and pampered her all her life. Not only the Empress Dowager doted on her, but even Emperor Jing also doted on her sister of the same mother. This made Taizhu Dou develop an arrogant and domineering character. I will think carefully, after all, before that, Mrs. Dou didn't need to think about anything at all.
When something like this happened, Dou Ying's family was gone, including her own daughter. Taizhu Dou had no choice but to reflect on herself, and she became silent and stopped being in the limelight. up.
This is not the case for Chen Yu. Chen Yu has no feelings for his brothers and sisters. Without Empress Chen, Chen Yu just feels that the Chen family's support in the palace is gone, that's all.
During the banquet, Princess Yangxin frequently went to wink at Chen Yu, and finally she had no choice but to stand up and smile, "I remember that there is a jar of good wine at home. Today is a happy day. It's rare for the emperor to come here. I'll go find it right away." Come, let us all have a taste."
After she finished speaking, she went out, and when she passed by Chen Yu, she touched him lightly, Chen Yu understood, and after Princess Yang Xin went out for a while, she also found a way to go out.
Princess Yang Xinchang didn't look for any good wine, but waited for him outside, saw Chen Yu, took him to a place where no one was around, frowned and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you can grow up? Why doesn't the emperor even look at you now?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Princess, don't be in a hurry, isn't it just the beginning of the banquet, and besides, this matter, no matter what, there must be no one around to handle it, right?"
Princess Yang Xinchang said: "You are still making up, the emperor came in and looked at you for the first time, can't you see the expression on his face? I can tell you, if you fail, you will be hated by the emperor instead, don't pull it." Follow me into the water."
"That is, that is."
Chen Yu said: "This is the opportunity given to me by the eldest princess. If it succeeds, I will never forget the cultivation of the eldest princess when I develop in the future. If it doesn't work... then it has nothing to do with the eldest princess, it is myself The problem."
When Princess Yang Xinchang heard this, she finally let go and said: "You can tell me well, and what you say is sure to succeed. It's up to you tonight."
Chen Yu said with a smile: "If you want to invite the princess, you should toast the emperor two more glasses. If you are drunk, it will be easy to do things?"
Yang Xin laughed, looked him up and down, and said: "You have more thoughts than women, that's all right, I will respect the emperor later."
Chen Yu was very grateful, and Princess Yang Xinchang went back. After waiting for a while, Chen Yu also returned to the banquet.
In fact, it was not a coincidence that Taizhu Dou and Chen Yu would be in the residence of Princess Yang Xinchang this time, but Chen Yu had specially discussed it with Princess Yang Xinchang.
Chen Yu assured her that as long as he can get along with the emperor alone, things will be done. Now who doesn't know, don't all the concubines in the emperor's harem look somewhat similar to Queen Chen? Feeling the similarity of my own face, if Liu Che is really drunk, wouldn't it be easy to catch?
When things are done, everything will be easy to handle.
Princess Yang Xinchang went back to the banquet, smiled and persuaded Liu Che to drink a few glasses of wine, because Liu Che had something on his mind, so he didn't refuse and drank all of it. .
At night, Princess Yang Xinchang's mansion became silent, with lanterns hung on the corridor, and there were many guards guarding a courtyard, which was the courtyard where Liu Che stayed, but there was no one guarding the courtyard.
For nothing else, it was exactly what Yang Xin had ordered, Liu Che was going to do a good job tonight, so how could he be disturbed by others, so as long as the guards stood guard outside, they were not allowed to go in.
Ying Zheng was in a daze, his neck seemed to be strangled by someone, he felt the pain of suffocation, he couldn't breathe, everything was out of control, his limbs couldn't make any strength, it seemed that he couldn't even move, his whole body was scattered , as if being split from the middle.
This uncontrollable pain made Ying Zheng flustered for a moment.Ying Zheng exerted all his strength, opened his eyes, and raised his hands to loosen his neck.
The moment Ying Zheng opened his eyes, the thing holding his neck loosened suddenly.
Ying Zheng only remembered that the Queen Mother's people brought poisoned wine, just like he did to Wang Hui, and then he felt suffocated.
Ying Zheng thought about many kinds of scenes when he opened his eyes, but he never thought that when he opened his eyes again, the first person he saw would be Liu Che...
Liu Che looked at him with shocked, questioning, and unbelievable eyes. In the blink of an eye, Liu Che suddenly laughed, and the laughter was a bit chilly. Liu Che's hand strangled Ying Zheng's neck again, and said with a smile : "Chen Yu, do you think you're like him? You haven't been like him all your life!"
Ying Zheng was able to breathe suddenly, and was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Liu Che said Chen Yu to himself, but before he could react, Liu Che's hand had already strangled his neck again, slowly exerting force.
Ying Zheng's eyes widened because he couldn't breathe well. Liu Che didn't know what he saw, but doubt and surprise flashed in his eyes again, and he let go of his hand again.
Yingzheng got rid of the feeling of suffocation, but he wouldn't let Liu Che control himself again for the third time. The next time he turned over, he wanted to get out of Liu Che's control, but when he moved a little, there was a burst of tearing pain in his lower body , rushed to the top of the head like a heart, followed by an uncontrollable tingling.
"Uh... um!"
Ying Zheng immediately opened his eyes wide, and the strength in his body was also relieved by the sudden pain and pleasure, and was suppressed by Liu Che again.
Ying Zheng looked down at him in shock. His lower body was naked, his legs were wide open, and Liu Che's thing was not reserved behind him.
There was a "bang" in his mind and it went blank, as if he couldn't think of anything.
Liu Che looked at him, thinking that he was finally afraid, so he pressed his shoulder with one hand, grabbed his neck with the other, and gave him a hard blow from the waist.
Ying Zheng was unprepared, and he couldn't help but tilt his head back after being hit by him, and let out a low growl in his throat, but subconsciously clenched his teeth, not letting the pain and the unspeakable feeling leak out of his mouth go out.
Liu Che stared at him, and his own eyes were also a little complicated. The hand on the other's neck was tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, but no matter how hard it was to really hold it down.
Liu Che didn't understand, it was obviously Chen Yu himself who used tricks again and again to climb onto his own bed, and he was obviously disgusted to the extreme, but when Liu Che saw the look in the eyes of the other party at that moment, She was shocked, she became merciful, and couldn't do anything anymore.
Liu Che looked at him with eyes, as if he really saw Gillian whom he could not let go of, just because of this look, Liu Che couldn't do anything...
Ying Zheng didn't know what was going on, he was clearly in the Nagato Palace, why did he become like this the next moment, he was pierced by Liu Che in such a humiliating state, in the heart-piercing pain, Even mixed with a faint pleasure.
This vague numbness tended to intensify as time went on, and finally turned into a catastrophe, obliterating Yingzheng like a tide.
Yingzheng's hand grabbed Liu Che's arm, his nails almost dug into the flesh with all his strength, the pain had been annihilated by the pleasure, his eyes stared straight at Liu Che, but his lips opened slightly involuntarily, following the movement of his body He swayed and let out a suppressed panting sound, his legs were convulsed with pleasure, and every time he wanted to draw them together, they ended up pinching Liu Che's waist.
Liu Che also stared right into his eyes, Liu Che wanted to see the flaws in it, but Liu Che didn't know why, this Chen Yu's talent for concealing had become so high, his eyes, no matter how you looked at them, looked like a very that person.
Liu Che was staring at his eyes in a daze, and kept moving below, seeing how he gritted his teeth because of what he had given, but slowly bent down.
Ying Zheng almost lost consciousness, his lips were warm, his whole body trembled immediately, he dodged his head suddenly, avoiding Liu Che's kiss, but Liu Che didn't want to let him go, the hand on his shoulder suddenly Instead, support the back of Ying Zheng's head so that he can't turn his head.
Liu Che's kiss was very domineering. It was more like biting than kissing. Ying Zheng's tongue was being grinded and entangled crazily by Liu Che. Waves of pleasure hit him, making him tremble all over.
Ying Zheng didn't know how long it had passed. His voice was dry and hoarse, his hair was messed up with sweat, and his body didn't seem to be his own. He could only swing slightly with Liu Che's movements, and his neck was raised after being hit. .
Liu Che lowered his head abruptly, buried his head by Ying Zheng's ear, and sighed deeply. Ying Zheng felt a scalding hot stream buried in his body, which stimulated his throat to roll quickly, "Yeah." snorted.
When Ying Zheng passed out, he vaguely heard Liu Che leaning against his ear, calling softly... Gillian.
At dawn on the second day, Liu Che came out of the yard. Because Princess Yang Xin didn't know if Chen Yu's matter was over, she sent someone to inquire about it early. Unexpectedly, the emperor would get up and drive back so early. Palace to go.
Princess Yang Xin took a closer look at Liu Che's expression, she didn't seem to be very well, and she wondered if Chen Yu had offended the emperor.
Princess Yang Xinchang smiled tentatively: "Your Majesty, I have to go back so early. Didn't I always stay with my sister for a few days in the past? Is there something wrong with my sister's hospitality?"
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "I just suddenly remembered that there are a few flood memorials that have not been dealt with. These things can't wait, so it's better to go back to the palace earlier and let someone deal with it."
Yang Xin heard it, the emperor was stepping down for himself, so he didn't want to keep you anymore, and said with a smile: "Then sister will not keep you anymore, emperor, if you have any unhappy things, just come to my sister, although there is nothing wrong with me It's delicious and fun, but you can also listen to what the emperor has to say, and relieve the emperor's boredom. You are the emperor, and there are many things to worry about in the future, so don't hold yourself back, you know?"
Hearing what she said, Liu Che just nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister Huang, I'm not a child anymore, so don't worry about me."
After Liu Che finished speaking, he sent people to prepare. The little prince Liu Ju was still sleepy, and was coaxed into the car by his servants, and the imperial driver set off soon.
Yang Xin sent the emperor away, and then restrained his smile, turned around and walked back, saying: "Go to the garden to see, where is Second Young Master Chen?"
The servants responded and hurried to the garden.
When Yingzheng woke up, his lower body was still hurting, he had no strength in his body, his throat was sore, it seemed to be swollen, and there was nothing good about him when he fell down.
Ying Zheng lay down for a long time. Last night was like a dream. Ying Zheng never thought that he would be rolled under Liu Che. Apart from humiliation, he would also have great pleasure, which almost annihilated his reason. .
Ying Zheng was in a trance when he suddenly heard someone knock on the door. His whole body tightened suddenly, involving the wound below. The pain caused Ying Zheng to break into a cold sweat, and his throat rolled rapidly several times before he swallowed the painful hum.
The servant knocked on the door and said loudly, "Second Master Chen? Are you there, Second Master Chen? Have you got up yet?"
Ying Zheng was speechless, and he didn't want to respond. He didn't know why he had suddenly changed from Empress Chen to Chen Yu, the second son of Chen Yu who did nothing at all.
The servant knocked on the door for a while, but turned and left when no one answered. Ying Zheng took a moment to stand up, and the clothes on his lower body were torn, and his legs were exposed. Naked, with no clothes beside her, and on the bed there were marks of Liu Che's unbearable past night.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open with a "bang", and Mrs. Dou walked in, looking at Ying Zheng like this, with an expression of disbelief, and then came up and slapped Ying Zheng hard.
Ying Zheng didn't expect Mrs. Dou to be violent as soon as she came up. His face was turned to one side, and his cheeks were swollen immediately. Mrs. Dou's face was pale, and he pointed at him with trembling hands, and his voice trembled, shouting: "Bastard!" ! You... are you worthy of your sister!"
At this time, Princess Yangxin came in, and hurriedly stopped Taizhu Dou, trying to persuade Dou Taizhu to stop, when Dou Taizhu heard someone persuaded her, she burst into tears, Yang Xin asked his servants to support Dou Taizhu go out and rest.
Ying Zheng pulled the quilt over to cover him, and Princess Yang Xin waited for Mrs. Dou to leave, then she glanced at him, looked him up and down, and said with a disdainful voice, "Is this what you said is going to happen? I Let me tell you, the emperor was very upset when he left, even if you sold your ass, you didn't make the emperor a little bit interested. Next time, don't come to my princess mansion to discuss any important matters. "
Ying Zheng didn't say a word, and Princess Yang Xinchang taunted him and left the room.
After Yingzheng washed up, Dou Taizhu had already left, and Princess Yangxin naturally didn't welcome him to stay, and Yingzheng certainly didn't want to stay either.
I don't know whether his current appearance is good or bad. Although he has regained his manly body, he was ridiculed as soon as he opened his eyes, and even rolled under Liu Che's body.
Ying Zheng was accompanied by two long-term attendants, he did not want to go back to Dou Taizhu's mansion, fortunately this second son Chen also had his own mansion in Chang'an City.
Ying Zheng asked someone to hire a carriage, and the long follower drove the carriage to the mansion. Ying Zheng sat in the carriage, and the road was not very smooth, with bumps and bumps. Tear, along the way, Ying Zheng's face turned pale from the pain.
Ying Zheng was reclining in the car with his eyes closed, trying to ignore the pain in his lower body, when suddenly the carriage stopped, and the attendant raised the curtain, and said, "Second Young Master, the road ahead is narrow, we encountered a car, we have to retreat .”
After Ying Zheng heard this, he backed out when he wanted to. It didn't matter much, but because the car on the opposite side stopped, the car inside opened its curtain and poked its head out. It was Tian Fu.
Tian Fu looked outside, and said loudly: "Whose car, why don't you get out quickly, and you don't have eyes when you walk?"
Ying Zheng opened his eyes, then got out of the car shortly, and said with a sneer, "It turned out to be the prime minister's chariot fight."
When Tian Fu saw Ying Zheng, he was surprised for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Chen. I have official duties, and you can't afford to delay. Let's catch up on the past later."
Ying Zheng looked at him and laughed again, got into the car, told the long attendant to fall back, and waited for Tian Fu's car to come out, Tian Fu thought that Ying Zheng was afraid, so he sat in the car proudly, and even raised the curtains , smiled at Ying Zheng: "Let's catch up on the old days."
Ying Zheng also closed the curtains, but said indifferently: "I'm afraid that the Prime Minister will not have much time."
Tian Fu's whole body tensed up when he heard this, and goosebumps appeared on his back. He thought he had heard it wrong, so he gave Ying Zheng an unhappy look, lowered the curtains, and the carriage passed by.
Ying Zheng didn't speak any more, and continued to close his eyes to meditate. The long follower soon drove to the gate of the mansion.
When Liu Che returned to the palace, he did have a memorial on hand. Every spring, he would receive such a memorial. The Yellow River burst year after year, not to mention obliterating the farmland, and there were many refugees every year.
The river itself should be a rich place, but the floods made the farmland almost useless, and it was flooded in spring, and it was impossible to have enough food for a year.
Liu Che has asked many officials to thoroughly investigate the matter, but the officials who came back either fell ill, or returned home, or simply said that it was repaired, but continued to break open the next year.
Liu Che got angry a lot because of this incident, but no one was able to repair the embankment.
He wasn't stupid, so many officials, big and small, didn't go to repair the river, and with such an attitude, Liu Che naturally guessed that there must be something wrong with the embankment.
It's just that no one dared to repair it, and this matter was delayed again and again.
As soon as Liu Che returned, he was summoned to hold a court meeting, and the Sangong and Jiuqing hurried to the Xuanshi Pavilion.
Liu Che threw the memorial to the ground, then sat down with his sleeves stretched out, and looked at the crowd without saying a word.
The emperor is no longer the emperor of six years ago. This is known to all the ministers. In the past six years, the emperor has changed. Perhaps it is because all the people around him have been dug up and almost wiped out. Liu Che never Any concerns, the way of acting has become a lot more sophisticated and calm, and the most important thing is to say the same thing. Even if the Queen Mother's relatives are in power, no one would dare to challenge the emperor.
Liu Che looked coldly at the people hanging their heads in the hall, and finally said: "You are all the pillars of the country, I called you here, do you know why?"
No one dared to speak, Liu Che said dryly, without a trace of tone: "Why are the big men better than the Huns in terms of population and business, but we can't beat the Huns? Have you ever thought that there is a fundamental problem with the court. It’s just a small embankment, but it’s broken, it’s broken, I’m not alone in this country, my treasury supports you, my people support you, it’s not that you only know how to fill your own pockets!”
"The minister is guilty of death!"
Everyone knelt down in a hurry, fearing that if they offended Liu Che, they would not be able to please them.
Liu Che paused, and said, "Who is in charge of this matter at the moment."
Tian Fu raised his eyes and said, "Back to the emperor, it is Chen Xu who is handling it."
"Chen Xu?"
Tian Fu said: "It is Chen Xu...the eldest son of Grand Master Dou, Chen Xu."
Liu Che didn't expect that Chen Xu was handling this matter. After all, not long ago, Chen Yu was plotting against him in order to climb into his bed. Liu Che didn't want to hear any news about the Chen family.
Liu Che said: "Go pass the decree, I will limit him to solve the river embankment problem for me within one month, and solve it completely. If there is still a flood in the next year, and the farmland is still flooded and people are drowned, I will take him as a question."
"This..." Tian Fu was actually happy when he heard Liu Che's words. After all, the Chen family is a relative of the abolished queen, and Tian Fu felt uneasy when he was still in the court. Naturally happy.
But Tian Fu still pretended to be very embarrassed, and said: "This...Your Majesty, one month is probably too tight, isn't it?"
Liu Che didn't speak, but just patted the table first, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down again.
Liu Che stood up and walked outside the Xuanshi Pavilion. Before leaving, he only said: "One month is not short. If you want to do it, I can finish it in half a month."
"promise."
Tian Fu came down, watched Liu Che leave, and then stood up straight with a proud face, ready to go to Chen's house to deliver an order to Chen Xu.
Yingzheng stayed outside for a few days, but he had to go back to greet Mrs. Dou. When he entered, Tian Fu happened to come, and Chen Xu hurriedly invited Tian Fu in.
Chen Xu asked Tian Fu to take a seat, Tian Fu did not refuse, just sat down, took a sip of water, and said in a very reasonable way: "Chen Xu, the emperor's decree has come down, ordering you to control the river within a month. The matter is completed, the emperor is still waiting for your memorial."
"One month?" Chen Xu was a little surprised. He raised his hand and wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said with an apologetic smile, "Master Prime Minister, this... this month, isn't it too tight?"
Tian Fu shook his hand and said with a smile: "I also know that it is difficult for you. I have already asked the emperor for you, but the emperor said that if you want to do this, you will pay more than one month. Master Chen, you just look at it." Let's do it."
As Tian Fu said, he stood up, flicked his clothes, cupped his hands and said, "Tian has some work to do, so I'm leaving now."
Chen Xu politely sent Tian Fu outside the door, and then came back with a sad face.
Ying Zheng saw Tian Fu's appearance in his eyes, but he remembered how Tian Fu secretly read and destroyed Emperor Jing's edict when he was still Chen Ajiao. Dou Ying was a rare talent in Ying Zheng's eyes , Tian Fu and the Queen Mother pushed Dou Ying to the guillotine, along with Ying Zheng, who kept all these accounts in his heart.
Yingzheng immediately said: "The problem of the embankment is not to send someone to repair it."
Chen Xu glanced at him, seeming to be a bit disdainful, because Chen Xu usually looks down on his younger brother, he has no ability at all, he only knows how to please his mother, and that's why he earned a lot of love.
Chen Xu sneered, and said: "What do you know? Tian Fu put a shit bowl on my head. The river embankment can be repaired, but it will be crossed after repair. You don't know, the two sides of the river The people who live there are different, on one side are powerful and wealthy, on the other side are ordinary people, and all the money sown went to the rich to build dikes, and the people who drowned were ordinary people, who would dare to drown those powerful people?"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng understood, and said, "Among these tycoons, are there any people from the imperial court?"
Chen Xudao: "Isn't that inevitable?"
Ying Zheng said again: "Is there still Tian Fu's share?"
Chen Xu immediately glanced at Ying Zheng, sighed with a frowning face, and said, "Huh, you are right, there is Tian Fu's field, and Tian Fu is not afraid that others will pick him out, because no one dares to touch him if he is picked out, so this You have nothing to worry about, you think he came here today just to deliver a decree? Didn’t he come to beat me and make me be careful.”
Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "I can help you with this matter."
Chen Xu looked at him suspiciously again, and Ying Zheng knew that the other party must feel that he had no good intentions, so he just said: "Brother, don't think too much, I just don't like Tian Fu, very carelessly, there is some rift between me and Tian Fu, I can help you with this matter, there is only one condition."
Chen Xu knew that he would make conditions, and how could his younger brother do things that were not beneficial, so he said, "Let's listen first."
Ying Zheng smiled easily, and said, "That is, no matter what I do, you can't intervene in the matter of repairing the river."
Chen Xu didn't know what he meant, but at the moment there was only one way, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "It's up to you."
On the second day when Ying Zheng took over, he had people prepare chariots and horses, and went out of Chang'an City to repair the embankment. Because Ying Zheng didn't let Chen Xu ask in detail, no one knew how Ying Zheng planned to repair it.
Liu Che went to the morning court and was about to go to the East Palace to greet the Queen Mother, but Tian Fu was already in the East Palace.
Liu Che smiled and said, "Uncle came faster than my chariot?"
Tian Fu smiled and said: "It's not that the queen mother has something to do with the humble minister, so I didn't dare to neglect, so I came here quickly."
When the Queen Mother saw Liu Che, she said, "Hey, Mother is just looking for you."
Liu Che said, "I don't know what it is."
The Queen Mother said: "Mother just heard that you sent Chen Xu to repair the embankment, but Chen Xu flooded all the fertile land in order to release the flood. Now someone has sued me. Your Majesty must take care of it. "
Liu Che hadn't received the memorial about the flood discharge yet, and the Queen Mother heard about it before she heard it. Then she glanced at Tian Fu and said, "Uncle received the memorial. The first thing he did was to come to the East Palace. He really did his duty. I think so, uncle doesn't want to be a prime minister anymore, how about being a guard in the East Palace?"
Tian Fu's heart skipped a beat, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Hey, Your Majesty, please don't scare the humble minister."
Liu Che lowered his head, looked at Tian Fu slightly, slowly suppressed his smile, and said softly with a cold face, "Zou Zhang."
Tian Fu was startled, tremblingly took it out of his arms, and handed it to Liu Che with both hands.
Liu Che unfolded the bamboo slips, and the handwriting that caught his eyes shocked him. He was a little surprised at the moment, not for anything else, but because the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, very much like Gillian's handwriting.
Liu Che calmed down and glanced roughly at the content on the bamboo slips. The report said that in order to release the flood, one side of the river embankment had to be removed, and part of the farmland had to be washed away to keep the people safe.
After reading it, Liu Che slowly rolled up the bamboo slips, held them in his hand, and said, "I think this memorial is reasonable and reasonable. The flood has been stopped, and only part of the farmland has been flooded. No people have been injured, and the refugees are all rejoicing." , why should I complain about it?"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what about the flooded farmland? Does the flooded farmland deserve what it deserves? This Chen Xu is too careless!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to want to come, and sneered: "Also, this Chen Xu is disrespectful. Your majesty, please read this memorial... Your majesty, if you let him enter the palace, I want to see it. What kind of patience is there?"
Liu Che was a little suspicious. After all, if someone just complained to the Queen Mother, how could the Queen Mother be so angry? At most, she would say a few words to herself, allocate some money from the treasury, and subsidize the farmland. En mighty.
But the money sown by the treasury is definitely far from the loss of farmland. Unless it touches the interests of the queen mother herself, why is the queen mother so angry.
Liu Che had some guesses in his heart, no matter how big or small officials dared to touch this matter, it also showed that there was an untouchable dignitary behind the embankment, if this person was the Queen Mother, everything would make sense.
Liu Che thought, this Chen Xu dared to go to the embankment to discharge the flood, and he did not hesitate to offend the powerful, so he was considered a good character. Liu Che happened to have never met Chen Xu, and the Queen Mother wanted to confront him, but Liu Che did not refuse.
Instructed Li Yannian: "Go and call Chen Xu to the East Palace, and tell him that I want to ask him about the flood discharge, and give him food by the way."
Li Yannian responded and hurried to do it.
After a while, people arrived at the gate of the East Palace. The Queen Mother heard this and said, "Let him in, I want to see how courageous he is!"
Seeing the empress dowager's gaffe, Liu Che felt more and more that his guess was correct, and said, "Send him in."
Li Yannian responded, and soon walked into the hall alone, but Liu Che did not expect that this person was not Chen Xu, but the Chen Yu whom he had met at Princess Pingyang's residence not long ago...
Ying Zheng walked into the palace and saluted Liu Che and the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager also met Chen Yu, and she could tell at a glance that it was not Chen Xu who came in, and said: "If I remember correctly, the emperor summoned Chen Xu, not you."
Ying Zheng didn't raise his head, but said indifferently: "The emperor summoned the person who pulled the embankment to release the flood, so he is a humble minister."
"Oh, so it's you."
The Queen Mother took a look at Chen Yu, "You are daring. Since you dare to do it, you dare to admit the flooded farmland?"
Only then did Ying Zheng raise his head, and said with a smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, I will naturally dare to admit it. I'm afraid that those who have flooded the farmland and lost money will not dare to admit it."
Although Liu Che felt bored when he saw Chen Yu, but after hearing what he said, he suddenly became interested and continued to listen, and said, "Why don't you dare to pursue after losing money?"
Ying Zheng didn't look at Liu Che. In Liu Che's eyes, this person changed his old disposition. He didn't flatter him as soon as he saw him.
This made Liu Che suddenly think of A-Jiao, and that person was the same, always giving advice when he needed help the most. Liu Che once said, "If there is no sister A-Jiao one day, what should I do?" It's gone, Liu Che regretted saying this very much.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The reason is very simple, because farmland is not a serious property."
Liu Che said, "What is that?"
Yingzheng's eyes swept over Tian Fu, and then fixed his eyes on the Queen Mother, and said unhurriedly: "Searching for people's fat, enriching private pockets, accepting bribes, and what else, nothing more than these... The humble minister is right. No, Your Excellency Prime Minister."
Tian Fu was suddenly called by name. After all, he felt guilty, trembled, and said: "There is no evidence for what you say, how do you know that these farmlands are all from corruption?"
Ying Zheng turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, underestimates the humble minister, so there is no basis for saying it."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of brocade silks from his sleeve, raised his hand, and lifted the brocade silks. His expression remained the same, and he was still calm, but the words revealed an undeniable deterrence, and said: "
Liu Che stood on the stone bridge with his hands behind his back. Although it was spring, the wind still felt a little cool, which seemed to be very refreshing.
The guards and internal servants all followed from a distance. Liu Che stood alone for a while, and suddenly he could imagine what it was like when the late emperor brought Dou Ying to his side and gave Dou Ying a legacy.
Holding the edict in both hands, Dou Ying chased Sheng Jia all the way across the stone bridge in the cool wind, unable to speak out for a long time.
Liu Che closed his eyes. In his whole life, he has only respected three members of the Dou family. The first is the Empress Dowager Dou. Regardless of whether Liu Che and the Empress Dowager share the same political views, the lesson the Empress Dowager taught him The teaching and teaching are something Liu Che will never forget for the rest of his life.
The second one is Dou Ying. No matter whether Dou Ying is a relative or not, no matter how unhappy the Empress Dowager is, Dou Ying is always on Liu Che's side. But in the end, Liu Che couldn't keep him.
The third……
Liu Che opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. The third person was actually a woman.
Six years have passed, and when Liu Che thinks about it, his heart always feels as if someone has sternly grabbed him, and it hurts so much.
Liu Che was still in a daze when suddenly someone tugged at his sleeve. Liu Che lowered his head and saw a half-grown child tugging at his wide sleeve and said with a childish voice, "Father, my son will bring you some clothes." coming."
Liu Che smiled, snorted Liu Ju's head, and said, "So good."
Liu Ju raised his head and said proudly: "Before the son came out with the father, the mother specially told him that it was cold here, and if the father was wearing thin clothes, she would come and give clothes to the father."
When Liu Che heard the word "mother", his expression was unusual for a moment, and then he hugged Liu Ju up and said, "Let's not stand here anymore, we're going back."
Every year after returning from Bashang Sacrifice, Liu Che would go to Princess Pingyang's residence for a visit, and this year will be no exception.
Princess Yang Xinchang knew that the emperor would come, so she deliberately prepared early, because the current Empress Wei came from Princess Pingyang's mansion, so Princess Pingyang can be regarded as a famous person now, and naturally many wealthy families want to treat her The daughter of the family is placed in the princess mansion, waiting for the emperor to come back every year. Maybe with luck, another queen Wei can be conjured from among these people.
Liu Che's chariot came from a distance, and Princess Yang Xinchang led a group of people out to greet him.
Liu Che got out of the car, still holding the little prince Liu Shi in his arms.
Yang Xin said with a smile: "Ji'er seems to have grown taller again."
Because Princess Yang Xinchang's way of speaking and acting is quite gentle on weekdays, children get close to her, and she doesn't often enter the palace, so Liu Ju was very happy to see her rarely, and yelled Want her to hug.
Princess Yang Xinchang carefully took Liu Ju into his arms, and said with a smile, "Not only is it taller, but it's also sinking."
Liu Che walked in with a smile and said, "It's really sinking."
When everyone entered the mansion, they saw there were still people inside, and they turned out to be Taizhu Dou and his second son Chen Yu.
The two knelt down to salute, Yang Xin hurriedly came over and said: "The Grand Master came a few days ago, I counted that the Emperor will also come in the next few days, so I will stay with the Grand Master for a few more days. Sister, it's boring at home."
Looking at Taizhu Dou, Liu Che inevitably thought of Gillian in his heart, and was even more unhappy when he saw Chen Yu.
Since Gillian's death, Chen Yu recommended himself many times because of his similar appearance to his younger sister Gillian.
It's not that Liu Che thinks that Chen Yu is not like his sister Gillian, it's just that the more he resembles him, the less he looks like in speaking and doing things. Without Gillian's transparency and ease, Liu Che can only flatter her with this face. will feel uncomfortable.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yu saw Liu Che, he glanced at Liu Che.
Yang Xin looked at Liu Che's expression, then glanced at Chen Yu, and quickly smoothed things over, saying: "The banquet is ready, and the emperor won't attend the banquet, so we dare not sit down."
Only then did Liu Che say, "Everyone sit down."
Everyone sat down, and Liu Che sat at the top. Since the death of her daughter, Taizhu Dou has restrained her behavior a lot. After all, after the edict passed through her hands, Taizhu Dou, the deceased of Dou Ying's family, was also very disturbed.
Taizhu Dou pampered and pampered her all her life. Not only the Empress Dowager doted on her, but even Emperor Jing also doted on her sister of the same mother. This made Taizhu Dou develop an arrogant and domineering character. I will think carefully, after all, before that, Mrs. Dou didn't need to think about anything at all.
When something like this happened, Dou Ying's family was gone, including her own daughter. Taizhu Dou had no choice but to reflect on herself, and she became silent and stopped being in the limelight. up.
This is not the case for Chen Yu. Chen Yu has no feelings for his brothers and sisters. Without Empress Chen, Chen Yu just feels that the Chen family's support in the palace is gone, that's all.
During the banquet, Princess Yangxin frequently went to wink at Chen Yu, and finally she had no choice but to stand up and smile, "I remember that there is a jar of good wine at home. Today is a happy day. It's rare for the emperor to come here. I'll go find it right away." Come, let us all have a taste."
After she finished speaking, she went out, and when she passed by Chen Yu, she touched him lightly, Chen Yu understood, and after Princess Yang Xin went out for a while, she also found a way to go out.
Princess Yang Xinchang didn't look for any good wine, but waited for him outside, saw Chen Yu, took him to a place where no one was around, frowned and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you can grow up? Why doesn't the emperor even look at you now?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Princess, don't be in a hurry, isn't it just the beginning of the banquet, and besides, this matter, no matter what, there must be no one around to handle it, right?"
Princess Yang Xinchang said: "You are still making up, the emperor came in and looked at you for the first time, can't you see the expression on his face? I can tell you, if you fail, you will be hated by the emperor instead, don't pull it." Follow me into the water."
"That is, that is."
Chen Yu said: "This is the opportunity given to me by the eldest princess. If it succeeds, I will never forget the cultivation of the eldest princess when I develop in the future. If it doesn't work... then it has nothing to do with the eldest princess, it is myself The problem."
When Princess Yang Xinchang heard this, she finally let go and said: "You can tell me well, and what you say is sure to succeed. It's up to you tonight."
Chen Yu said with a smile: "If you want to invite the princess, you should toast the emperor two more glasses. If you are drunk, it will be easy to do things?"
Yang Xin laughed, looked him up and down, and said: "You have more thoughts than women, that's all right, I will respect the emperor later."
Chen Yu was very grateful, and Princess Yang Xinchang went back. After waiting for a while, Chen Yu also returned to the banquet.
In fact, it was not a coincidence that Taizhu Dou and Chen Yu would be in the residence of Princess Yang Xinchang this time, but Chen Yu had specially discussed it with Princess Yang Xinchang.
Chen Yu assured her that as long as he can get along with the emperor alone, things will be done. Now who doesn't know, don't all the concubines in the emperor's harem look somewhat similar to Queen Chen? Feeling the similarity of my own face, if Liu Che is really drunk, wouldn't it be easy to catch?
When things are done, everything will be easy to handle.
Princess Yang Xinchang went back to the banquet, smiled and persuaded Liu Che to drink a few glasses of wine, because Liu Che had something on his mind, so he didn't refuse and drank all of it. .
At night, Princess Yang Xinchang's mansion became silent, with lanterns hung on the corridor, and there were many guards guarding a courtyard, which was the courtyard where Liu Che stayed, but there was no one guarding the courtyard.
For nothing else, it was exactly what Yang Xin had ordered, Liu Che was going to do a good job tonight, so how could he be disturbed by others, so as long as the guards stood guard outside, they were not allowed to go in.
Ying Zheng was in a daze, his neck seemed to be strangled by someone, he felt the pain of suffocation, he couldn't breathe, everything was out of control, his limbs couldn't make any strength, it seemed that he couldn't even move, his whole body was scattered , as if being split from the middle.
This uncontrollable pain made Ying Zheng flustered for a moment.Ying Zheng exerted all his strength, opened his eyes, and raised his hands to loosen his neck.
The moment Ying Zheng opened his eyes, the thing holding his neck loosened suddenly.
Ying Zheng only remembered that the Queen Mother's people brought poisoned wine, just like he did to Wang Hui, and then he felt suffocated.
Ying Zheng thought about many kinds of scenes when he opened his eyes, but he never thought that when he opened his eyes again, the first person he saw would be Liu Che...
Liu Che looked at him with shocked, questioning, and unbelievable eyes. In the blink of an eye, Liu Che suddenly laughed, and the laughter was a bit chilly. Liu Che's hand strangled Ying Zheng's neck again, and said with a smile : "Chen Yu, do you think you're like him? You haven't been like him all your life!"
Ying Zheng was able to breathe suddenly, and was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Liu Che said Chen Yu to himself, but before he could react, Liu Che's hand had already strangled his neck again, slowly exerting force.
Ying Zheng's eyes widened because he couldn't breathe well. Liu Che didn't know what he saw, but doubt and surprise flashed in his eyes again, and he let go of his hand again.
Yingzheng got rid of the feeling of suffocation, but he wouldn't let Liu Che control himself again for the third time. The next time he turned over, he wanted to get out of Liu Che's control, but when he moved a little, there was a burst of tearing pain in his lower body , rushed to the top of the head like a heart, followed by an uncontrollable tingling.
"Uh... um!"
Ying Zheng immediately opened his eyes wide, and the strength in his body was also relieved by the sudden pain and pleasure, and was suppressed by Liu Che again.
Ying Zheng looked down at him in shock. His lower body was naked, his legs were wide open, and Liu Che's thing was not reserved behind him.
There was a "bang" in his mind and it went blank, as if he couldn't think of anything.
Liu Che looked at him, thinking that he was finally afraid, so he pressed his shoulder with one hand, grabbed his neck with the other, and gave him a hard blow from the waist.
Ying Zheng was unprepared, and he couldn't help but tilt his head back after being hit by him, and let out a low growl in his throat, but subconsciously clenched his teeth, not letting the pain and the unspeakable feeling leak out of his mouth go out.
Liu Che stared at him, and his own eyes were also a little complicated. The hand on the other's neck was tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, but no matter how hard it was to really hold it down.
Liu Che didn't understand, it was obviously Chen Yu himself who used tricks again and again to climb onto his own bed, and he was obviously disgusted to the extreme, but when Liu Che saw the look in the eyes of the other party at that moment, She was shocked, she became merciful, and couldn't do anything anymore.
Liu Che looked at him with eyes, as if he really saw Gillian whom he could not let go of, just because of this look, Liu Che couldn't do anything...
Ying Zheng didn't know what was going on, he was clearly in the Nagato Palace, why did he become like this the next moment, he was pierced by Liu Che in such a humiliating state, in the heart-piercing pain, Even mixed with a faint pleasure.
This vague numbness tended to intensify as time went on, and finally turned into a catastrophe, obliterating Yingzheng like a tide.
Yingzheng's hand grabbed Liu Che's arm, his nails almost dug into the flesh with all his strength, the pain had been annihilated by the pleasure, his eyes stared straight at Liu Che, but his lips opened slightly involuntarily, following the movement of his body He swayed and let out a suppressed panting sound, his legs were convulsed with pleasure, and every time he wanted to draw them together, they ended up pinching Liu Che's waist.
Liu Che also stared right into his eyes, Liu Che wanted to see the flaws in it, but Liu Che didn't know why, this Chen Yu's talent for concealing had become so high, his eyes, no matter how you looked at them, looked like a very that person.
Liu Che was staring at his eyes in a daze, and kept moving below, seeing how he gritted his teeth because of what he had given, but slowly bent down.
Ying Zheng almost lost consciousness, his lips were warm, his whole body trembled immediately, he dodged his head suddenly, avoiding Liu Che's kiss, but Liu Che didn't want to let him go, the hand on his shoulder suddenly Instead, support the back of Ying Zheng's head so that he can't turn his head.
Liu Che's kiss was very domineering. It was more like biting than kissing. Ying Zheng's tongue was being grinded and entangled crazily by Liu Che. Waves of pleasure hit him, making him tremble all over.
Ying Zheng didn't know how long it had passed. His voice was dry and hoarse, his hair was messed up with sweat, and his body didn't seem to be his own. He could only swing slightly with Liu Che's movements, and his neck was raised after being hit. .
Liu Che lowered his head abruptly, buried his head by Ying Zheng's ear, and sighed deeply. Ying Zheng felt a scalding hot stream buried in his body, which stimulated his throat to roll quickly, "Yeah." snorted.
When Ying Zheng passed out, he vaguely heard Liu Che leaning against his ear, calling softly... Gillian.
At dawn on the second day, Liu Che came out of the yard. Because Princess Yang Xin didn't know if Chen Yu's matter was over, she sent someone to inquire about it early. Unexpectedly, the emperor would get up and drive back so early. Palace to go.
Princess Yang Xin took a closer look at Liu Che's expression, she didn't seem to be very well, and she wondered if Chen Yu had offended the emperor.
Princess Yang Xinchang smiled tentatively: "Your Majesty, I have to go back so early. Didn't I always stay with my sister for a few days in the past? Is there something wrong with my sister's hospitality?"
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "I just suddenly remembered that there are a few flood memorials that have not been dealt with. These things can't wait, so it's better to go back to the palace earlier and let someone deal with it."
Yang Xin heard it, the emperor was stepping down for himself, so he didn't want to keep you anymore, and said with a smile: "Then sister will not keep you anymore, emperor, if you have any unhappy things, just come to my sister, although there is nothing wrong with me It's delicious and fun, but you can also listen to what the emperor has to say, and relieve the emperor's boredom. You are the emperor, and there are many things to worry about in the future, so don't hold yourself back, you know?"
Hearing what she said, Liu Che just nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister Huang, I'm not a child anymore, so don't worry about me."
After Liu Che finished speaking, he sent people to prepare. The little prince Liu Ju was still sleepy, and was coaxed into the car by his servants, and the imperial driver set off soon.
Yang Xin sent the emperor away, and then restrained his smile, turned around and walked back, saying: "Go to the garden to see, where is Second Young Master Chen?"
The servants responded and hurried to the garden.
When Yingzheng woke up, his lower body was still hurting, he had no strength in his body, his throat was sore, it seemed to be swollen, and there was nothing good about him when he fell down.
Ying Zheng lay down for a long time. Last night was like a dream. Ying Zheng never thought that he would be rolled under Liu Che. Apart from humiliation, he would also have great pleasure, which almost annihilated his reason. .
Ying Zheng was in a trance when he suddenly heard someone knock on the door. His whole body tightened suddenly, involving the wound below. The pain caused Ying Zheng to break into a cold sweat, and his throat rolled rapidly several times before he swallowed the painful hum.
The servant knocked on the door and said loudly, "Second Master Chen? Are you there, Second Master Chen? Have you got up yet?"
Ying Zheng was speechless, and he didn't want to respond. He didn't know why he had suddenly changed from Empress Chen to Chen Yu, the second son of Chen Yu who did nothing at all.
The servant knocked on the door for a while, but turned and left when no one answered. Ying Zheng took a moment to stand up, and the clothes on his lower body were torn, and his legs were exposed. Naked, with no clothes beside her, and on the bed there were marks of Liu Che's unbearable past night.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open with a "bang", and Mrs. Dou walked in, looking at Ying Zheng like this, with an expression of disbelief, and then came up and slapped Ying Zheng hard.
Ying Zheng didn't expect Mrs. Dou to be violent as soon as she came up. His face was turned to one side, and his cheeks were swollen immediately. Mrs. Dou's face was pale, and he pointed at him with trembling hands, and his voice trembled, shouting: "Bastard!" ! You... are you worthy of your sister!"
At this time, Princess Yangxin came in, and hurriedly stopped Taizhu Dou, trying to persuade Dou Taizhu to stop, when Dou Taizhu heard someone persuaded her, she burst into tears, Yang Xin asked his servants to support Dou Taizhu go out and rest.
Ying Zheng pulled the quilt over to cover him, and Princess Yang Xin waited for Mrs. Dou to leave, then she glanced at him, looked him up and down, and said with a disdainful voice, "Is this what you said is going to happen? I Let me tell you, the emperor was very upset when he left, even if you sold your ass, you didn't make the emperor a little bit interested. Next time, don't come to my princess mansion to discuss any important matters. "
Ying Zheng didn't say a word, and Princess Yang Xinchang taunted him and left the room.
After Yingzheng washed up, Dou Taizhu had already left, and Princess Yangxin naturally didn't welcome him to stay, and Yingzheng certainly didn't want to stay either.
I don't know whether his current appearance is good or bad. Although he has regained his manly body, he was ridiculed as soon as he opened his eyes, and even rolled under Liu Che's body.
Ying Zheng was accompanied by two long-term attendants, he did not want to go back to Dou Taizhu's mansion, fortunately this second son Chen also had his own mansion in Chang'an City.
Ying Zheng asked someone to hire a carriage, and the long follower drove the carriage to the mansion. Ying Zheng sat in the carriage, and the road was not very smooth, with bumps and bumps. Tear, along the way, Ying Zheng's face turned pale from the pain.
Ying Zheng was reclining in the car with his eyes closed, trying to ignore the pain in his lower body, when suddenly the carriage stopped, and the attendant raised the curtain, and said, "Second Young Master, the road ahead is narrow, we encountered a car, we have to retreat .”
After Ying Zheng heard this, he backed out when he wanted to. It didn't matter much, but because the car on the opposite side stopped, the car inside opened its curtain and poked its head out. It was Tian Fu.
Tian Fu looked outside, and said loudly: "Whose car, why don't you get out quickly, and you don't have eyes when you walk?"
Ying Zheng opened his eyes, then got out of the car shortly, and said with a sneer, "It turned out to be the prime minister's chariot fight."
When Tian Fu saw Ying Zheng, he was surprised for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Chen. I have official duties, and you can't afford to delay. Let's catch up on the past later."
Ying Zheng looked at him and laughed again, got into the car, told the long attendant to fall back, and waited for Tian Fu's car to come out, Tian Fu thought that Ying Zheng was afraid, so he sat in the car proudly, and even raised the curtains , smiled at Ying Zheng: "Let's catch up on the old days."
Ying Zheng also closed the curtains, but said indifferently: "I'm afraid that the Prime Minister will not have much time."
Tian Fu's whole body tensed up when he heard this, and goosebumps appeared on his back. He thought he had heard it wrong, so he gave Ying Zheng an unhappy look, lowered the curtains, and the carriage passed by.
Ying Zheng didn't speak any more, and continued to close his eyes to meditate. The long follower soon drove to the gate of the mansion.
When Liu Che returned to the palace, he did have a memorial on hand. Every spring, he would receive such a memorial. The Yellow River burst year after year, not to mention obliterating the farmland, and there were many refugees every year.
The river itself should be a rich place, but the floods made the farmland almost useless, and it was flooded in spring, and it was impossible to have enough food for a year.
Liu Che has asked many officials to thoroughly investigate the matter, but the officials who came back either fell ill, or returned home, or simply said that it was repaired, but continued to break open the next year.
Liu Che got angry a lot because of this incident, but no one was able to repair the embankment.
He wasn't stupid, so many officials, big and small, didn't go to repair the river, and with such an attitude, Liu Che naturally guessed that there must be something wrong with the embankment.
It's just that no one dared to repair it, and this matter was delayed again and again.
As soon as Liu Che returned, he was summoned to hold a court meeting, and the Sangong and Jiuqing hurried to the Xuanshi Pavilion.
Liu Che threw the memorial to the ground, then sat down with his sleeves stretched out, and looked at the crowd without saying a word.
The emperor is no longer the emperor of six years ago. This is known to all the ministers. In the past six years, the emperor has changed. Perhaps it is because all the people around him have been dug up and almost wiped out. Liu Che never Any concerns, the way of acting has become a lot more sophisticated and calm, and the most important thing is to say the same thing. Even if the Queen Mother's relatives are in power, no one would dare to challenge the emperor.
Liu Che looked coldly at the people hanging their heads in the hall, and finally said: "You are all the pillars of the country, I called you here, do you know why?"
No one dared to speak, Liu Che said dryly, without a trace of tone: "Why are the big men better than the Huns in terms of population and business, but we can't beat the Huns? Have you ever thought that there is a fundamental problem with the court. It’s just a small embankment, but it’s broken, it’s broken, I’m not alone in this country, my treasury supports you, my people support you, it’s not that you only know how to fill your own pockets!”
"The minister is guilty of death!"
Everyone knelt down in a hurry, fearing that if they offended Liu Che, they would not be able to please them.
Liu Che paused, and said, "Who is in charge of this matter at the moment."
Tian Fu raised his eyes and said, "Back to the emperor, it is Chen Xu who is handling it."
"Chen Xu?"
Tian Fu said: "It is Chen Xu...the eldest son of Grand Master Dou, Chen Xu."
Liu Che didn't expect that Chen Xu was handling this matter. After all, not long ago, Chen Yu was plotting against him in order to climb into his bed. Liu Che didn't want to hear any news about the Chen family.
Liu Che said: "Go pass the decree, I will limit him to solve the river embankment problem for me within one month, and solve it completely. If there is still a flood in the next year, and the farmland is still flooded and people are drowned, I will take him as a question."
"This..." Tian Fu was actually happy when he heard Liu Che's words. After all, the Chen family is a relative of the abolished queen, and Tian Fu felt uneasy when he was still in the court. Naturally happy.
But Tian Fu still pretended to be very embarrassed, and said: "This...Your Majesty, one month is probably too tight, isn't it?"
Liu Che didn't speak, but just patted the table first, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down again.
Liu Che stood up and walked outside the Xuanshi Pavilion. Before leaving, he only said: "One month is not short. If you want to do it, I can finish it in half a month."
"promise."
Tian Fu came down, watched Liu Che leave, and then stood up straight with a proud face, ready to go to Chen's house to deliver an order to Chen Xu.
Yingzheng stayed outside for a few days, but he had to go back to greet Mrs. Dou. When he entered, Tian Fu happened to come, and Chen Xu hurriedly invited Tian Fu in.
Chen Xu asked Tian Fu to take a seat, Tian Fu did not refuse, just sat down, took a sip of water, and said in a very reasonable way: "Chen Xu, the emperor's decree has come down, ordering you to control the river within a month. The matter is completed, the emperor is still waiting for your memorial."
"One month?" Chen Xu was a little surprised. He raised his hand and wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said with an apologetic smile, "Master Prime Minister, this... this month, isn't it too tight?"
Tian Fu shook his hand and said with a smile: "I also know that it is difficult for you. I have already asked the emperor for you, but the emperor said that if you want to do this, you will pay more than one month. Master Chen, you just look at it." Let's do it."
As Tian Fu said, he stood up, flicked his clothes, cupped his hands and said, "Tian has some work to do, so I'm leaving now."
Chen Xu politely sent Tian Fu outside the door, and then came back with a sad face.
Ying Zheng saw Tian Fu's appearance in his eyes, but he remembered how Tian Fu secretly read and destroyed Emperor Jing's edict when he was still Chen Ajiao. Dou Ying was a rare talent in Ying Zheng's eyes , Tian Fu and the Queen Mother pushed Dou Ying to the guillotine, along with Ying Zheng, who kept all these accounts in his heart.
Yingzheng immediately said: "The problem of the embankment is not to send someone to repair it."
Chen Xu glanced at him, seeming to be a bit disdainful, because Chen Xu usually looks down on his younger brother, he has no ability at all, he only knows how to please his mother, and that's why he earned a lot of love.
Chen Xu sneered, and said: "What do you know? Tian Fu put a shit bowl on my head. The river embankment can be repaired, but it will be crossed after repair. You don't know, the two sides of the river The people who live there are different, on one side are powerful and wealthy, on the other side are ordinary people, and all the money sown went to the rich to build dikes, and the people who drowned were ordinary people, who would dare to drown those powerful people?"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng understood, and said, "Among these tycoons, are there any people from the imperial court?"
Chen Xudao: "Isn't that inevitable?"
Ying Zheng said again: "Is there still Tian Fu's share?"
Chen Xu immediately glanced at Ying Zheng, sighed with a frowning face, and said, "Huh, you are right, there is Tian Fu's field, and Tian Fu is not afraid that others will pick him out, because no one dares to touch him if he is picked out, so this You have nothing to worry about, you think he came here today just to deliver a decree? Didn’t he come to beat me and make me be careful.”
Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "I can help you with this matter."
Chen Xu looked at him suspiciously again, and Ying Zheng knew that the other party must feel that he had no good intentions, so he just said: "Brother, don't think too much, I just don't like Tian Fu, very carelessly, there is some rift between me and Tian Fu, I can help you with this matter, there is only one condition."
Chen Xu knew that he would make conditions, and how could his younger brother do things that were not beneficial, so he said, "Let's listen first."
Ying Zheng smiled easily, and said, "That is, no matter what I do, you can't intervene in the matter of repairing the river."
Chen Xu didn't know what he meant, but at the moment there was only one way, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "It's up to you."
On the second day when Ying Zheng took over, he had people prepare chariots and horses, and went out of Chang'an City to repair the embankment. Because Ying Zheng didn't let Chen Xu ask in detail, no one knew how Ying Zheng planned to repair it.
Liu Che went to the morning court and was about to go to the East Palace to greet the Queen Mother, but Tian Fu was already in the East Palace.
Liu Che smiled and said, "Uncle came faster than my chariot?"
Tian Fu smiled and said: "It's not that the queen mother has something to do with the humble minister, so I didn't dare to neglect, so I came here quickly."
When the Queen Mother saw Liu Che, she said, "Hey, Mother is just looking for you."
Liu Che said, "I don't know what it is."
The Queen Mother said: "Mother just heard that you sent Chen Xu to repair the embankment, but Chen Xu flooded all the fertile land in order to release the flood. Now someone has sued me. Your Majesty must take care of it. "
Liu Che hadn't received the memorial about the flood discharge yet, and the Queen Mother heard about it before she heard it. Then she glanced at Tian Fu and said, "Uncle received the memorial. The first thing he did was to come to the East Palace. He really did his duty. I think so, uncle doesn't want to be a prime minister anymore, how about being a guard in the East Palace?"
Tian Fu's heart skipped a beat, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Hey, Your Majesty, please don't scare the humble minister."
Liu Che lowered his head, looked at Tian Fu slightly, slowly suppressed his smile, and said softly with a cold face, "Zou Zhang."
Tian Fu was startled, tremblingly took it out of his arms, and handed it to Liu Che with both hands.
Liu Che unfolded the bamboo slips, and the handwriting that caught his eyes shocked him. He was a little surprised at the moment, not for anything else, but because the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, very much like Gillian's handwriting.
Liu Che calmed down and glanced roughly at the content on the bamboo slips. The report said that in order to release the flood, one side of the river embankment had to be removed, and part of the farmland had to be washed away to keep the people safe.
After reading it, Liu Che slowly rolled up the bamboo slips, held them in his hand, and said, "I think this memorial is reasonable and reasonable. The flood has been stopped, and only part of the farmland has been flooded. No people have been injured, and the refugees are all rejoicing." , why should I complain about it?"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what about the flooded farmland? Does the flooded farmland deserve what it deserves? This Chen Xu is too careless!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to want to come, and sneered: "Also, this Chen Xu is disrespectful. Your majesty, please read this memorial... Your majesty, if you let him enter the palace, I want to see it. What kind of patience is there?"
Liu Che was a little suspicious. After all, if someone just complained to the Queen Mother, how could the Queen Mother be so angry? At most, she would say a few words to herself, allocate some money from the treasury, and subsidize the farmland. En mighty.
But the money sown by the treasury is definitely far from the loss of farmland. Unless it touches the interests of the queen mother herself, why is the queen mother so angry.
Liu Che had some guesses in his heart, no matter how big or small officials dared to touch this matter, it also showed that there was an untouchable dignitary behind the embankment, if this person was the Queen Mother, everything would make sense.
Liu Che thought, this Chen Xu dared to go to the embankment to discharge the flood, and he did not hesitate to offend the powerful, so he was considered a good character. Liu Che happened to have never met Chen Xu, and the Queen Mother wanted to confront him, but Liu Che did not refuse.
Instructed Li Yannian: "Go and call Chen Xu to the East Palace, and tell him that I want to ask him about the flood discharge, and give him food by the way."
Li Yannian responded and hurried to do it.
After a while, people arrived at the gate of the East Palace. The Queen Mother heard this and said, "Let him in, I want to see how courageous he is!"
Seeing the empress dowager's gaffe, Liu Che felt more and more that his guess was correct, and said, "Send him in."
Li Yannian responded, and soon walked into the hall alone, but Liu Che did not expect that this person was not Chen Xu, but the Chen Yu whom he had met at Princess Pingyang's residence not long ago...
Ying Zheng walked into the palace and saluted Liu Che and the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager also met Chen Yu, and she could tell at a glance that it was not Chen Xu who came in, and said: "If I remember correctly, the emperor summoned Chen Xu, not you."
Ying Zheng didn't raise his head, but said indifferently: "The emperor summoned the person who pulled the embankment to release the flood, so he is a humble minister."
"Oh, so it's you."
The Queen Mother took a look at Chen Yu, "You are daring. Since you dare to do it, you dare to admit the flooded farmland?"
Only then did Ying Zheng raise his head, and said with a smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, I will naturally dare to admit it. I'm afraid that those who have flooded the farmland and lost money will not dare to admit it."
Although Liu Che felt bored when he saw Chen Yu, but after hearing what he said, he suddenly became interested and continued to listen, and said, "Why don't you dare to pursue after losing money?"
Ying Zheng didn't look at Liu Che. In Liu Che's eyes, this person changed his old disposition. He didn't flatter him as soon as he saw him.
This made Liu Che suddenly think of A-Jiao, and that person was the same, always giving advice when he needed help the most. Liu Che once said, "If there is no sister A-Jiao one day, what should I do?" It's gone, Liu Che regretted saying this very much.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The reason is very simple, because farmland is not a serious property."
Liu Che said, "What is that?"
Yingzheng's eyes swept over Tian Fu, and then fixed his eyes on the Queen Mother, and said unhurriedly: "Searching for people's fat, enriching private pockets, accepting bribes, and what else, nothing more than these... The humble minister is right. No, Your Excellency Prime Minister."
Tian Fu was suddenly called by name. After all, he felt guilty, trembled, and said: "There is no evidence for what you say, how do you know that these farmlands are all from corruption?"
Ying Zheng turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, underestimates the humble minister, so there is no basis for saying it."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of brocade silks from his sleeve, raised his hand, and lifted the brocade silks. His expression remained the same, and he was still calm, but the words revealed an undeniable deterrence, and said: "
