Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

It took only one day for the flood in Xizhou to reach the imperial city, and the big and small aristocratic families began to plan in their hearts. The old emperor had previously handed over this matter to the prince for preparation. Now that the flood has occurred, it is natural to make preparations. Things were sent to the hands of the affected people.

The old emperor invited Yan or several Ge elders who were discussing important matters into the imperial study overnight to discuss who would go to Xizhou for disaster relief.

Originally, the prince should go this time, and the old emperor also knew that he would not have a good life for a few years. At this time, he chose to let go and accumulate prestige for the prince. In the future, the prince will also win the hearts of the people when he ascends the throne.

It's a pity that he is not in good health, and he can no longer deal with the government affairs with all his heart. Qin Tianjian gave two hexagrams. Nanzhou was the hardest hit area mentioned in the hexagram. If there was a flood over there, the only person in the entire imperial city who could go to Nanzhou to appease him was Yan or himself.

But he was not even willing to let Yan or leave the capital, let alone let Yan or go to Nanzhou.Therefore, no matter who the disaster relief person in Xizhou is, he cannot be the prince.

"Your Majesty, the rain in Xizhou hasn't stopped yet. I'm afraid there are quite a few people killed or injured this time."

"The crown prince has sent news to Xizhou before. Before the flood came, the general soldiers of Xizhou knew about it and would take measures to defend it." The old emperor is not thinking about the problems of the people of Xizhou now, but, "Although this flood Qin Tianjian has predictions, but in the end our focus is still on Nanzhou, Xizhou is lacking, and now the grain and grass raised by the imperial court should also be sent to Xizhou, who is the most suitable for you?"

"I think the crown prince is the most suitable. The crown prince is His Majesty's son and lives in the East Palace. The people must have been shocked by the disaster in Xizhou this time, and a person with status and status must be dispatched. It can not only prevent officials on the road from corrupting ink, but also appease the common people, killing two birds with one stone.”

There was a glint of gloom in the old emperor's eyes. His prince seemed to want to win the hearts of the people as soon as possible.

Otherwise, how could he use such a clumsy method to get his own people to recommend him, "Qin Aiqing is right, but I am seriously ill now, who will supervise the country when the prince leaves, and what if there is an accident in Nanzhou when the prince leaves?" Is good?"

"This, I'm terrified, it's because I didn't think carefully." Mr. Qin stepped back, the matter arranged for him by the crown prince might not be able to be done, the emperor had no intention of letting the crown prince go to Xizhou at all.

If it is impossible to go to Xizhou, it is even more impossible to go to Nanzhou. Not to mention how many forces there are in Nanzhou, even Jing Huan alone, the old emperor would not take the risk of letting the prince go to Nanzhou.

In case the crown prince wants to ascend the throne earlier because of the hookup between Nanzhou and Jing Huan, the old emperor will really be furious.

After all, the crown prince has been in the position of crown prince for no less than [-] years, and even an ambitious man should not be able to hold back.

"Since the crown prince has to supervise the country, I think it is appropriate for Prime Minister Yan to go to Xizhou to dispatch the matter."

The old emperor shifted his gaze to Yan Yu, the prime minister who had worked under him for more than ten years, has always been impartial and a rare pure minister.

He relied heavily on him, but he was also afraid of him. Although the marriage was done in a muddle back then, it also cost the Jing family a wing.

"What do you mean by Yan Aiqing?" Compared to sending people to Nanzhou, Xizhou was more at ease. Apart from Yan He, there was indeed no second suitable person in the court.

Either he is old, or he is timid. He can neither restrain the soldiers and crab generals along the way nor appease the hearts of the people. The folks in Dayu have given him a bad opinion these years. If this matter is not handled well, he may be written a hundred years later. The historian will scold him in different ways.

"I am willing to go." Yan Gu never took the initiative to mention going to Xizhou from the beginning to the end.Because he knew that none of these old boys were willing to take over this hot potato, and he would rather wait for someone else to propose than to make the emperor suspicious.

"That's great. Yan Aiqing went back to prepare. The household department has already prepared money, grain, grass and cloth. If there is nothing to do, let's go on the road tomorrow." They were waiting, and the people of Xizhou couldn't wait.

"The minister leads the decree." Yan or sneered in his heart, the old emperor had already thought about this person to go to Xizhou from the very beginning.

If it wasn't exactly what he wanted, he would really have to shirk it.After all, his father still has something to do with the East Palace.

He went, in the eyes of some people, that meant representing the prince.

"It's too late now, Yan Aiqing should go back and make preparations first. I'm discussing the details with a few elders. If there are other arrangements, I'll send someone to send a message to your mansion tomorrow morning."

The old emperor is urging people to leave, Yan probably won't stay longer, he will leave him alone, what the old emperor wants to say, he still has some ideas in his mind, but now is not the time to think about the old emperor's thoughts, he has to do it early It's time to go to Xizhou.

When he rushed back to Yan's mansion, it was almost three o'clock. Duke Yan and Mrs. Yan didn't know what happened, they fell asleep early, and the servants would not be ignorant to wake them up.

So when Yan Yu came back, only Shen Ditang's room was still lit.

"Is there any news?" Shen Ditang was in a daze for a while when he received the news from Yan Yu. He didn't know if Yingle and the others would be safe after such a big incident happened in Xizhou.

"The emperor has asked me to take the grain and grass prepared by the household department to Xizhou early tomorrow morning." Yan may have already prepared his salute when he received the flood in Xizhou, but he promised to take Shen Ditang We went to Xizhou together, and now we are here to ask Shen Ditang if he wants to go together.

"Of course I want it. How long have you not seen Yingle? Naturally, I have not seen Yingle for a long time. Over the years, I have missed him no less than you, so I must go this time." Shen Ditang said resolutely, with no room for turning around at all. .

Of course it is possible to go, but it is hard to find an excuse. If Yan is going to relieve the disaster, he is naturally not allowed to bring his husband with him. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to do that.

However, Yan has long been used to planning ahead, even if the old emperor arranged it in such a hurry, he thought of a way, "Go and pack your luggage first, and you will say goodbye to your mother tomorrow morning, and stay in the temple for a while, and pray for me."

"What if my mother wants to go together?" He could go to the White Horse Temple as a pretense, but the White Horse Temple is just outside the city, and it would only take a morning for the Yan family to go there.

"Father and mother won't take half a step outside the imperial city during this time, you can go there with peace of mind." Yan Or's eyes were alienated. The empress in the palace would send invitations to Duke Yan's mansion every now and then, just to invite his mother into the palace.

"So, I'll go and pack my things first." Shen Ditang hurried to the warehouse, not only did he go there to see Yingle, but he also wanted to give Yingle's child a wedding gift.

Seeing Xizhou this time, I don't know when we will go again. After all, he can't treat Yingle and that child badly.

If it weren't for the fact that this trip can't be too fanfare, Shen Ditang really wants to send all the priceless private possessions in the warehouse to Xizhou to Yingle.

However, he picked from left to right, and finally chose a pair of mandarin duck jade with concentric knots on them. This pair of mandarin duck jade was originally his wedding gift for Yingle.But Naihe kept it in his hands after going around and put it in this dark warehouse for more than ten years.

Fortunately, it is different now, this mandarin duck jade will have a new owner.

……

It's more than half a hour.

Those outside the imperial city who were going to Xizhou were all ready to go, and Yan had been in Beijing for many years.Although it is rare to have the opportunity to ride and shoot with others, riding on a horse does not lose half of its charm.

If it hadn't been for more than ten years, his complexion had become accustomed to the coldness, maybe he was no different from the wanton young man more than ten years ago.

"My lord, I've finished dressing up."

"Set off."

Not long after the group of people left the imperial city, a luxurious carriage also drove out of the imperial city, but the carriage stopped ten miles away from the imperial city. Pretend to look like a son of Zhilan Yushu.

Shen Ditang changed into Yan Or's carriage and headed to Xizhou full of expectations.

It's a pity that Jing Huan can't come from Nanzhou. The four of them haven't been together since Jing Huan left Beijing for the northwest. Counting the days, they have been.

After years of separation, I don't know what it will be like when we see our old friends again.

-

"General, there is news from the imperial city that Prime Minister Yan has gone to Xizhou."

Jing Huan heard the report, and put his hands behind his back. He thought it was wrong. Yan or that guy knew that Yingle was still alive, so he would really wait until He Qing and Haiyan to go to Xizhou to find someone.

Yan or ah Yan or, I thought you had changed in the past ten years, and I didn't want to be as impulsive as before.

"Where's Ditang?" Yan may go to Xizhou, Yiditang's temperament is that he will never stay in the imperial city, and he must be stubborn and wants to go to Xizhou to see Yingle.

"Mr. Shen said that he was going to worship the Buddha in the temple on the mountain, and pray for the safety of Prime Minister Yan."

"It's a good reason." Jing Huan felt a little regretful. He is now in Nanzhou, and the Nanzhou flood hanging over his head has not come down. It is difficult for him to go to Xizhou at will when he has the opportunity.

Otherwise, the four of them could have a drink under the moon.

Remember that back then, Ditang and Yingle were both younger and older brothers, so naturally they couldn't drink freely like them.

However, unlike the well-behaved Di Tang, Yingle is an unruly brother. One day, Yan Ruo talked to Yingle about the taste of wine, and Yingle Gou wanted to taste it, but he was afraid of being discovered by Mrs. Shen.

In the end, he and Yan could only be the gentlemen of Liang Shang, sneaking into Shen's mansion in the middle of the night and bringing a pot of non-intoxicating sake for Ditang and Yingle to taste.

"General, there has been no news from my young master recently, should we send someone to Xizhou to look for it." The people below hesitated for a moment before asking.

They all knew that the young master stayed in Xizhou.But after the flood started, they didn't receive any news from Xizhou. If something happened to the young master, they might not be able to make it in time.

"No, Yiran is working next to Tang Zisheng. I have passed the news to Tang Zisheng before. With that kid's intelligence, he must be fully prepared, and nothing will happen to Yiran."

Jing Huan believed that Tang Zisheng had this ability, but he still received Tang Zisheng's instructions to prevent the epidemic. It can be seen that this person will not trust him, but it is a pity.

He was very lively, but he could not see Tang Zisheng meeting his cheap father-in-law anymore, and he didn't know how Yan Ruo would treat this son-in-law.

In this case, we can only wait for Ditang to dictate to him later.
