[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

As soon as Yuan Mufang entered the door, he pleaded guilty to Wang Sheng, "This official's dereliction of duty caused the collapse of Luoshui, so I'm here to plead guilty to the prime minister!"

Seeing that he admitted his mistakes quickly, Wang Sheng couldn't help being a little surprised. He looked at Yuan Mu calmly for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Please, Yuan Sima, now is not the time to plead guilty. Find out why the dam collapsed again." It is urgent."

Yuan Mu didn't stand up, but still knelt on the ground, raised his head and said to Wang Sheng, "Prime Minister, I have a heart-to-heart message to tell—" At this moment, he could clearly see Wang Sheng's sick face, thinking about what he wanted to say Words, I feel a little unbearable.He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, selfishness prevailed, and he retreated as his way forward: "It's just that the words are crude and not very pleasant, I'm afraid the prime minister won't like it."

Wang Sheng sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said: "Yuan Sima, but it's okay to say, if it's the words of gold and stone, I will listen to it even if I don't like it."

"Since that's the case, I ask the prime minister to forgive me for speaking bluntly." Yuan Mu looked straight into Wang Sheng's eyes, "The sudden overflow of Luoshui is a natural disaster, and it is also God's will. It is the prime minister's fault in governing the department, so this disaster happened; if it cannot be corrected, the next The officials are afraid that no matter how many times the dam is repaired, Luoshui will not be able to stop it."

Wang Sheng looked back at him silently, pressed his hands into his stomach little by little, and said lightly after a while, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Since ancient times, there will be failures in the country, and the heavens will come out first to condemn them. This is the so-called harmony between heaven and man. Luoshui has been safe for more than ten years. However, when the prime minister entered Luoyang, he burst out of the embankment? This is why To warn the prime minister of the way of heaven, it is beyond human power to fix it, if the prime minister does not change, and the way of heaven downgrades the responsibility, then the lower officials are sincerely afraid of disaster." Yuan Mu said, slowly stood up, because Wang Sheng was half lying down On the bed, as soon as he stood up, he was much taller than Wang Sheng, and he had to bow his head to look at him, "I don't dare to say that, the prime minister occupies Sizhou, and this hundred-mile land is determined by a single battle. It is not for benevolence." In other words, there is no desire for the hearts of the people. The first thing to do is to spread grace and stabilize the people. People's hearts are mixed, and tranquility should be the first. However, if the prime minister does the opposite, he will be promoted without merit, and officials will be demoted without fault. If the hearts of the people inside and outside Luoyang are in turmoil, and the generals and officials are full of resentment or hope, they will all be noisy and wait and see all day long. This may not be the blessing of the country."

He paused, and then said: "At this time, the prime minister changed his course and promulgated a new law, making Luoyang equal to Chang'an except for the law of service. Every time there is a change in the court, the people will be afraid and dare not Sleeping on the mat, the next official heard: the righteousness of the guest master, the right minister will come down, and I hope the prime minister will miss it."

After finishing speaking, he gave a deep bow, and before Wang Sheng could say anything, he confessed his guilt first: "Your official said this from the bottom of his heart, if there is something offensive, please don't blame the Prime Minister!"

Wang Sheng didn't answer immediately, after a moment of silence, he sneered.

Today, when the group of them were trapped on the river embankment, when the governor Shi he brought from Chang'an saw the flood, he fell to the ground and cried, "I, Da Yong, have sinned against the heavens! It is the destiny of heaven to bring this disaster on." ?” What he said was somewhat similar to what Yuan Mu said.Although he reprimanded Chang Shi sharply at that time, he also knew that this person was loyal to the country, but Yuan Mu didn't really fear God's will, but wanted to use it to coerce him, using God's will to talk about human affairs. They are planning for the country, but they are all planning for themselves.

"What Sima said is so meaningless." Wang Sheng retorted: "Listen to what Sima just said, one is an official and the other is the law, and I will dismantle them one by one for Sima. Officials have their own weapons, how can we not check And use? He Wuming didn't know people, and he had no way to govern the country, causing Huang Zhong to be destroyed, and the kettle to thunder; To be defeated first is already determined at its beginning. If you don’t change your politics, won’t you follow the track of its overturning cart and return to the disaster of its defeat?”

Although there was weakness in his voice, it did not detract from his might in the slightest, making people dare not despise him because of his serious illness.Wang Sheng paused, then continued: "Lawyer, since Luoyang has entered the territory of our Dayong, it is natural to follow the laws of our Yong Kingdom. It is equal to the people of Yong, so there is nothing to discuss. Sima is worried that people will not calm down. However, if you practice the law of loving the people, even though your heart is moving, it will not be chaotic, and it will be settled for a long time; And it cannot be stopped."

"I choose officials and formulate new laws to make up for the former. How can I talk about failure of morality?"

His eloquent eloquence left Yuan Mu speechless for a while, and when he spoke again, he was no longer as eloquent as he was just now, and he hesitated, "What the prime minister said is exactly...just...the old official may not be a bad person." , the old law may not be...not necessarily impossible.”

Wang Sheng didn't answer, but turned sideways, took a roll of official documents from the case, and threw it at Yuan Mu's feet, "Yuan Sima will go and see."

Yuan Mu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and after reading it for a while, his face turned pale. He put down the document abruptly and looked at Wang Sheng, and hurriedly said, "Prime Minister—"

Wang Sheng looked at him, and said slowly: "Just now I solved two doubts for Sima, and now I have three questions, I want to teach Sima."

"Firstly, Sima just said that the flooding of Luoshui was a disaster from heaven to condemn me. However, I have ruled the land of three Qin and two rivers for several years. I have appointed officials, each with its own weapon; the method used , not a single centimeter. Why is it only here in Luoyang, offending the sky and punishing it?"

"Secondly, when the Luoshui River broke down, Sima attributed it to God's punishment, but I think it is man-made! It's all because of the greed, hypocrisy, and submissiveness of this generation, and the evaluation of officials has not yet reached the counties. This is the disaster. Sima said, the old officials , The old law is not wrong, if it is true, how can there be today's floods?"

"Thirdly, the Luoshui dams and sluices have been in disrepair for nearly 20 years. Sima was an important minister in Wei, and he was in charge of political affairs. He really didn't know about it? The people listed in the book also came from Sima's family, or were Sima. As for the person in charge, Sima made him a parent without predicting their nature? Such a dike that has not been changed for 20 years, collapsed in one day, is it the fault of the new law, is it my fault, or is it your Yuan Mu's fault?"

Yuan Mu was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down holding the document.Wang Sheng's counterattack was really powerful, every sentence hit the point, every sentence left him speechless.His forehead started to sweat, and his face also turned red. Under this series of questioning, he seemed to be stripped naked, and let Wang Cheng's stern and sharp eyes stare straight at him.He wanted to say something, but before he could spell out a complete sentence in his mind, Wang Sheng said again: "Yuan Sima, you and I are people who don't believe in the destiny. If you have three years of savings in your treasury, you will be fearless." In severe drought, if you open river channels, build dams, and repair water gates, you will not be afraid of floods. As for insects, hunger, hail, wind, and epidemics, each has its own way to deal with it. Therefore, people can overcome the changes of the weather. If Tao What you do and where your righteousness lies, you can do it even if you cut mountains and valleys, but how can you be afraid of dark and difficult things?"

Yuan Mu lay on the ground, staring at Wang Sheng blankly.At this moment, he had completely forgotten that the person in front of him was still ill, and he couldn't even get up. Instead, he felt that he was the one who had just suffered a serious illness.His face was pale, his back was dripping with sweat, his hands on the ground trembled, and he could hardly even kneel down.

When he looked at Wang Sheng's eyes, he realized that the purpose of his trip had already been clearly seen by him. The "generals and officials" who "have hope" are none other than himself.It's ridiculous that he used God's will to talk about people's affairs, and he also borrowed people's affairs to talk about his own affairs. He thought he had a plan, but he was already seen by others. Up to now, he has only ended up in an embarrassing end. Laughed at by celebrities all over the world.

Yuan Mu has always regarded himself very highly, and was unwilling to be a small governor of the state. He thought that if he could also support the Ming Lord and get along with Wang Sheng, the one who bowed his head and ears at this time would undoubtedly be Wang Sheng—but after today, He didn't dare to think like that anymore.He asked himself to see things clearly, and he and Wang Sheng should be brothers, but this kind of firmness in Wang Sheng is really beyond what he can have.Wang Sheng has not been in Luoyang for less than a year, but he can turn Luoyang upside down. Such a thing cannot be done unless he is invincible.He previously had resentment in his heart and turned a blind eye to it, but so far he has finally been convinced.

"Prime Minister," Yuan Mu put his head on the ground with a full expression, paused for a while before raising his head and said, "A low-ranking official with limited knowledge just made such a contemptuous remark, the Prime Minister must not take it for granted. "

Wang Sheng put back his momentum and said with a smile: "Sima is like this, it is expected that Luoshui will not burst the embankment again."

Yuan Mu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at Wang Sheng's face. Seeing that there was no blame in his eyes, but a faint look of encouragement, he couldn't help but feel excited and ambitious, and said with emotion: "If Luoshui collapses again, the prime minister can kill me head, to sacrifice to the people!"

Wang Sheng looked at him with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I hope that Sima Shan will take care of himself, and he will surely make great achievements in the future."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Mu could get such a promise from him, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and he choked up after a long while and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister..."

Wang Sheng waved his hand, "The flood control is urgent, you go first."

"Yes!" Yuan Mu got up, bowed to Wang Sheng again, and then strode away.

Wang Sheng watched him go out silently, and said to the side: "Call Tai doctor Li to come in."

But I heard Li Taiyi's voice ringing in my ears, "Prime Minister, do you want to continue giving acupuncture now?"

"Well," Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Come on."

Doctor Li responded, and then asked Li Jiu to support Wang Sheng to lie down, and lifted the quilt by himself.As soon as he took the quilt away, he saw that the clothes around Wang Sheng's waist were covered with wrinkles, almost crumpled into a ball. Doctor Li couldn't help but glanced at Wang Sheng before going to untie his clothes.Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw the red pinch marks on Wang Sheng's abdomen for the first time, he still felt sore in his heart, and finally couldn't help saying: "If the prime minister can't stand the pain, just call me down." If you are an official, why bother to hurt yourself?"

Wang Sheng smiled wryly in his heart. If he called the imperial physician to relieve his pain in the middle of his speech, then Yuan Mu would not be as talented as before. No matter how he treated the flood, he couldn't cure it.But of course he couldn't tell the doctor Li about this, so he just said: "The doctor will give you the acupuncture."

Doctor Li first massaged Zusanli for a while, and then began to give acupuncture after seeing Wang Sheng's complexion gradually calmed down.He persuaded: "After the injection, the next official will prescribe a dose of medicine for the prime minister. After taking it, the prime minister should rest immediately, otherwise the medicine will be considered useless."

Wang Sheng was thinking about something, but he couldn't hear what he was saying, so he just said "um" indiscriminately, and let the matter go.

He thought, this flood is a disaster, but it is not completely without benefits.After the death of Wei State, he realized that the neighboring country they were quite afraid of had already been rotten to the root.Just because someone in the middle deceived the superior and the inferior, the imperial court and the local government were angry and unable to communicate.The raging Luoshui suddenly broke through all the obstacles and cover in the middle, allowing the people below to appear clearly in front of his eyes.And with this Luoshui embankment breach, no matter who he wants to touch, there is no hindrance.The most important thing is to capture the thief first and capture the king first. If Yuan Mu can sincerely help him in the future, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Prime Minister, it's done." Wang Sheng was in a trance, at this moment he saw that Li Taiyi had put away the silver needle, and put his hand on his lower abdomen, only then did he realize that although there was still pain inside, it was much better than before.He just came back to his senses, and before he could speak, a bowl of medicine was handed to him.

Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment before taking it.He has always been self-aware of his own body, now that he is sick, he will drink whatever the imperial doctor tells him to drink.He took out the spoon, put his mouth on the rim of the bowl, and drank it slowly one gulp at a time. Although the concoction was bitter, he could not change his face, and he did not know how many bowls he had drunk.

Wang Sheng rinsed his mouth and said to Li Jiu, "Go ask Pan Lu and Li Gan to come over."

At this time, Imperial Physician Li had already stepped back, Li Jiu was holding the bowl and did not move, hesitatingly said: "Prime Minister, shouldn't it be time for sleep?"

"I still have something important to do." If this matter is not resolved, he won't be able to sleep well tonight.Wang Sheng spread out his palms and twirled them indiscriminately in the stomach cavity. Before the effect of the medicine had time to take effect, he felt a pain in his stomach because he drank the whole bowl of medicine. Been raising it for a while.He put down his hand and said slowly: "After talking to them, I fell asleep."

Li Jiu would not think that Wang Sheng was discussing with him just because Wang Sheng's tone was still calm at this time, although he was a little reluctant, he had no choice but to agree.He kept hinting to Pan Lu and the others all the way to cut a long story short, and when they reached the door, he finally couldn't help but said to them: "The prime minister fell ill twice a day today, and his health can't take it anymore. In the end, I will ask you two adults to hurry up." Said, let the prime minister rest early, I will thank the two adults here at the end!"

"Naturally, naturally." Pan Lu said hurriedly.

Only then did Li Jiu let them in. As soon as the two of them entered, they smelled a strong smell of medicine, so bitter that it made their mouths sour.Seeing that Wang Sheng's complexion was worse than in the daytime, they believed in Li Jiu's words even more. After saluting, they heard Wang Sheng say: "It's a big event to call you two here late at night. I want to hear what you said." Opinion."

"Prime Minister, please speak."

"I heard from the two of you during the day that there are two methods of flood control in the past dynasties: wide rivers to hold sand and narrow water to attack sand. I don't know which one you two should use. Can you decide?"

Pan and Li looked at each other, both were amazed at Wang Sheng's sensitivity.Pan Lu replied: "Prime Minister has clearly observed that the two of us do still have differences on this matter."

"What do you two claim?"

Pan Luxian said: "If you want to control the Luo River, you must first control the Yellow River. The difference between the two of us is not whether it is a wide river or a narrow river, because if a certain place is bounded by water to attack sand, the downstream sediment will be more silted. The more there are, the more deposits there will be. Unless the water is everywhere, leading directly to the sea, the root cause cannot be cured. Therefore, the method of water can only save a temporary emergency, not a long-term solution. Although we all advocate the use of wide rivers However, there is a disagreement on the way of widening the river. The lower officials believe that when the wide river is widened, the dikes should be reinforced to allow the land to be filled with water. If the dikes are raised blindly, but the river cannot be widened, the sediment will be silted, and the water will carry the highlands. The city is growing day by day, and the city is going down. Over time, once the water on the city breaks its embankment, it will be like water entering a copper basin, and the damage will be endless."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Wang Sheng had his eyes closed and was motionless, thinking that he had fallen asleep, so he could only call out softly, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister?"

Wang Sheng opened his eyes when he heard the sound, but there was no confusion in his eyes, "Well, I'm listening."

"That's what the officer said."

Wang Sheng nodded, then turned to Li Gan.Li Gan said: "Although it is a long-term solution to let the land be filled with water, it is difficult to implement. If this is to be done, the existing river must be widened several times, houses and farms must be destroyed, people must be relocated, and the river must be excavated. Finish."

Pan Lu retorted, "If this method is not used, it will cost tens of millions of dollars to build and maintain the embankments in Dayong's territory. Only a few years will be enough for the farms and houses of the relocated people." Fei, in fact once and for all.”

Wang Sheng thought quickly, shook his head and said: "The difficulty of relocating the people is not limited to money and food. From the court to the localities, from officials to the people, there are too many involved and too many obstacles. This matter concerns the foundation of the country, and the world is still undecided. The treasury is empty, so don't touch it lightly." He stopped suddenly, frowned, paused, and then said: "I don't know what the other way is?" His voice was a little lower than before.

Li Jiu watched anxiously, and kept winking at Pan and Li, but the two of them were fighting each other, so how could they see it.Li Gan moved forward, "The lower officials think that more diversions should be set up, which can not only widen the river, but also irrigate the fields. Moreover, there are water gates in the Luoshui area, and they can be used after repairing. This is equivalent to half of the completion. , should be the best policy to control Luoshui."

Pan Lu naturally disagreed with what he said, "If there are more diversions, each branch will be finer, and the sediment will be deposited for a long time, and the big river will have to divert."

"The Yellow River bursts twice every three years and diverts once every hundred years. This method can keep you safe for decades. It is not easy."

"But once the road is diverted, because of the many diversions, the ocean will be vast and there will be a catastrophe."

"Is there any perfect way to control water? I thought..."

Standing aside, Li Jiu saw Wang Sheng's hand pressing deeper and deeper on his abdomen, but the two of them kept talking to each other, completely forgetting their previous instructions, anxious in their hearts, and looked around , finally figured it out.He picked up a cup of tea and wanted to pass it to Wang Sheng, but he pretended to miss it on the road and fell to the ground. The cup burst and made a crisp sound.As soon as the voice sounded, the quarrel between the two stopped abruptly, and the room fell silent for an instant.As Li Jiu leaned over to pick up the broken porcelain pieces, he confessed his crime in fear and trepidation: "I've disturbed you, my lords, my subordinates are guilty, my subordinates are guilty."

Wang Sheng waved his hand, not paying much attention.Hearing what the two were arguing about, he knew that even if it took another month, the two would not be able to convince each other, and it would be a waste of time to go on like this, so he pondered for a moment, and then decided: "It is not feasible for the time being to let the land fall into the water, why not?" Let's use the diversion method."

Pan Lu hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.He listened to what Wang Sheng said, and when the world is stable and the treasury is rich in the future, it seems that this method can be implemented, so he will not fight any more.

"Since the water control strategy has been decided, the two of you should act as soon as possible to avoid further disasters." Wang Sheng finished speaking slowly, then closed his eyes tiredly, and gestured to Li Jiu, asking him to send the two of them off. go out.

Li Jiu was naturally happy with this, and hurriedly invited the two of them away. When he came back, he saw Wang Sheng sitting up by himself. When he saw him, he squeezed out two words from his teeth, "I want to vomit."

Li Jiu hurriedly fetched the spittoon, ran over, and put it under Wang Sheng.Wang Sheng's Adam's apple couldn't stop rolling, and suddenly he shrugged his shoulders and spit out the pitch-black concoction.After he vomited this mouthful, his chest and abdomen felt more relaxed, but it didn't take long before he felt uncomfortable again.He vomited several times in a row, reckoning that he vomited out the bowl of medicine, and then vomited some acidic water, but his stomach was still churning, with no intention of stopping.He leaned on the side of the couch, with one hand resting on his stomach, and after a moment of relief, his stomach tightened again, and he was opening his mouth to vomit, but suddenly he felt a fishy smell.Wang Sheng's heart was shocked, he quickly stopped his momentum, and swallowed it back.After that, no matter how twisted his stomach was, he endured it all, but it was even more difficult than before.He pinched the edge of the bed tightly, not daring to move, until the cold sweat drenched his body, and the writhing in his stomach gradually subsided.

"Go and cook another bowl of medicine." Wang Sheng was also a little scared in his heart, secretly thinking that he would drink all of it this time no matter what. His illness really couldn't get worse.

It was rare for Li Jiu to see Wang Sheng so concerned about drinking the medicine, so he hurriedly asked someone to cook another bowl for him.Wang Sheng drank for a while, rested for a while, and he didn't know how long it took before he finally finished the medicine.He didn't dare to make a fuss, and after drinking, he lay back on the bed, and without doing anything else, he turned his head to look at the case on the table, and said to Li Jiu, "Pass me the sword on the case."

"Hey!" Li Jiu responded, took the sword and handed it to him.

After Wang Sheng touched the sword, his heart gradually settled down.Although this sword is cold, it always reminds him of Liu Fu, as if Liu Fu is standing beside him, saying to him with burning eyes, "You hold this sword, but do what you want, don't ask about other things".Wang Sheng caressed the blade of the sword, and couldn't help sighing. On the one hand, he was worried that what he should do was not done well, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that he would not be able to walk too far with Liu Fu. Body.But he was not allowed to be in a dilemma for too long, a burst of fatigue spread from his bones, Wang Cheng closed his eyes, lost consciousness not long after, and fell into a deep sleep.
