Devil Class Cannon Fodder

One day, Yang Che, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, came home from court, and was called by the old man Yang Xu.

Yang Xu was full of energy, seeing his eldest son, he said unhurriedly: "I heard that you asked your daughter-in-law to go to Xinglong Temple to pay respects to the Buddha? Let me tell you that if she has the heart, she can just go to the Lingtai to observe."

"Father!" Yang Che said with a frown, "Usually we are beyond the reach of others outside the palace, but now that Princess Fengyang is out of the palace, no matter what we do, we have to take care of her."

Yang Xu remained expressionless: "Why don't I know."

But he still didn't change his words, Yang Che couldn't help raising his voice: "That's my sister's only blood, you also know that my sister—"

"Shut up." Yang Xu was still unhurried, "I don't know, it was my request to abolish the empress back then." He also asked himself to step down from the chief assistant.

It turned out that Yang Xu was the father of the abolished Empress Yang and the grandfather of Princess Fengyang.

Yang Che said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Yang Xu said: "No matter what you think, I'm thinking of our Yang family. I can't just let our family follow in the footsteps of Fang's family." The whole family was loyal, but Emperor Jingtai copied and beheaded the whole family with reasons he thought were reasonable, but in fact they were unfounded.However, the abolished mother's family was preserved because of Yang Xu's "knowledge of current affairs".

Yang Che said sadly, "My son knows."

When Yang Che left the study, the old housekeeper chased after him: "The old master told you to ask the eldest lady to go to the Lingtai to observe and offer incense." But there was no mention of going to Xinglong Temple to take care of Princess Fengyang.

Yang Che closed his eyes, nodded slightly to the old housekeeper, and walked away with heavy steps.

When the old housekeeper returned to the study, he reported the matter.The creases on Yang Xu's face didn't move, he just ordered: "You go and write a post to the chief assistant's mansion, and ask him to come to me when he has time." The branches are in the same vein, after Yang Xu resigned from office, he pushed him behind his back to be the first assistant, this alone is enough to see the capabilities of the Yang family and Yang Xu.

After the old housekeeper took the order, Yang Xu slowly wrote "Yang" on the rice paper, and after thinking about it, he added the word "Heng".

Situ Heng, the second prince...

The final water control plan proposed by the Ministry of Industry with cement as the cornerstone has been a great success in actual operation.There was only one breach in the entire dangerous section of the river. Fortunately, the water was drained in time and no greater disaster was caused.

Even so, days of torrential rains have seriously affected the farming season, and the floods have also displaced many people, even scattered refugees in the capital.While the imperial court distributed more relief money, it was also troublesome for the refugees who had left their homes. Fortunately, there were not many refugees who came to the capital. Before the imperial court came forward to resettle them, they had already flowed to Lingtai Temple.

It was also mentioned earlier that Lingtai Temple had a ward for poor children in the capital, and the refugees were placed in the ward after they came to Lingtai Temple.It is also thanks to Lingtai Temple's "big family and great business", and because Emperor Jingtai is particularly fond of Lingtai Temple recently, the rich and powerful people in the court have donated materials and funds to Lingtai Temple, so that so many poor children and refugees can be resettled.

It's just that there is a slight shortage of manpower in the ward, and someday there will be a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, who looks thin and doesn't like to talk, and looks very dull.I asked him what his name was. He seemed to be called Feng Yang. At first, he was slow to work, but after being reprimanded a few times, he gradually got better.

Gu Qing has an errand here, and that is to build a sickroom here at Lingtai Temple.The Ministry of Industry has also done thorough research on cement. The houses built with cement are not very beautiful, but they are much stronger than ordinary thatched houses or mud houses, and they cannot be impermeable, let alone solid.

Gu Qing has seen the kid named Feng Yang from a distance, and he is very clear that 'he' is actually Princess Fengyang, and he must have arranged for her to come here in this appearance.Princess Fengyang is full of anger and bewilderment. If Gu Qing wants to cultivate her, he must first stop her from being like a powder keg and blow himself up sooner or later.

Like now, I turn from morning to night like a spinning top every day, so I have no time to think about what I have.

Well.

Of course, Gu Qing still has follow-up arrangements.Not only for Fengyang, but also for the poor children and refugees in this ward.

It is said that the grandfather Xiao Shu of the original body was the Imperial Academy offering wine, and the Xiao family still opened an academy in Yangzhou, their ancestral home. If Gu Qing wanted to find a suitable gentleman to educate others, then there was no one more suitable than the Xiao family for help.

Furthermore, if Gu Qing still needs suitable talents, then the Xiao Family Academy or the Guozijian are the personal talent reserves. Furthermore, if Gu Qing wants to export his own knowledge, then the students who have not yet entered the officialdom are the best. suitable for indoctrination.

Commonly known as: brainwashing.

Gu Qing was thinking about something terrible in his heart, but his face didn't move.

After repairing the sickroom of Lingtai Temple neatly, he went back to report.

This time, Emperor Jingtai didn't treat the second prince as a waste snack anymore, but he didn't say much, he just responded lightly: "We must not be complacent."

"Go back."

Gu Qing: "Yes."

All the cabinet ministers are present at the moment, and when Yang Xun, the chief minister of the cabinet, met Gu Qing's gaze, he nodded with a smile.

During this period of time when Gu Qing was the second prince, his status with Emperor Jingtai had quietly improved, and in addition to officials from the Ministry of Industry, he also had more opportunities to socialize with officials from other departments.Although Gu Qing is not fully aware of how much the Yang family played in it, he still understands that the Yang family is showing their favor to him in a subtle way.

Or Shane.

After all, the second prince is in a very weak state, but the Yang family has not been seriously injured after the abolition of the empress. To the second prince, it is still a giant.

In this regard, Gu Qing restrained his initial character design as a weak, helpless and pitiful prince without favor, and added "aggressiveness" and "ambition" appropriately.He is really good at playing all kinds of characters, otherwise, in this lackluster world, he really doesn't know what he will become if he is not careful.

For now, let's play in silence like this first, so he turned around and Gu Qing, in order to show his aggressiveness, "knocked around" at the Ministry of Industry on the cement road.

The current situation is that the Ministry of Industry is interested in building roads, but the Ministry of Households has no money.

Gu Qing sat at the first place on the lower left, and said slowly: "Before when Henan was hit by floods, the internal officials and supervisors attracted wealthy merchants, and exchanged a few pieces of scattered items for hundreds of thousands of silver, which filled the internal treasury, and was later used by the emperor as relief money. .” It’s not just hundreds of thousands of silver, strictly speaking, it’s not as simple as selling formulas.

Shi Jiuyan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, immediately understood: "It's just that there has never been such a precedent, and the internal officials are different from the Ministry of Industry after all. I'm afraid the emperor will not let go easily."

The internal officials and supervisors have always dealt with merchants, otherwise there would be no mention of the emperor merchants, not to mention the name of disaster relief that time, which cannot be compared with the current government affairs that the Ministry of Industry is going to do for the court.

Furthermore, the national treasury is not abundant. Doesn't it mean that Dazhou's national strength is not good now? And Emperor Jingtai, who claims to be a Mingjun, loves face very much.

Gu Qing didn't say anything, but just looked at Luo Yingluo's servant, and Luo's servant pondered: "The household department is really tight, and Mr. Wei, the secretary of the household department, is so anxious that it can rain money from the sky."

That is to say, the Ministry of Finance had absolutely no reason to push the money out, Gu Qing unconsciously tapped twice with his fingers on his knees, and he must have a way to tell Emperor Jingtai to let go.

So within two days after this conversation, the cement road was repaired in the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. As expected, after Emperor Jingtai stayed in the middle school, the prince stood up and said before the officials of the Ministry of household affairs stepped forward to add fuel to the flames:

"Didn't Father worry about the blockage of the canal from the capital to Luoyang yesterday? This time, the Ministry of Industry is worried about Father's concerns. Why doesn't Father appreciate the loyalty of the Ministry of Industry, and let them do their best for Father and for the people of Li. Heart."

The prince's uncle, He Bozheng, didn't expect the prince to make such an appearance, and he seemed quite surprised.

Before he could react, Mu Yuanhui, the right servant of the household department, said that the household department had no silver and was not on the prince's side.

Shi Jiuyan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, followed up and said that the prince loves the people and sympathizes with the country, and he is worthy of being the prince of the country.

Emperor Jingtai wanted to maintain the dignity of his Mingjun, but he couldn't see the prince's image of loving the people and caring for the country being attacked.

Emperor Jingtai was hesitating, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs began to argue at the court meeting, and even involved Yushitai.

That's right, the Ministry of Industry mentioned the investment invitation and road construction written in the memorial just now, which the prince didn't know.Hubu didn't say anything, and Yushitai began to say that there was no precedent and it was not proper.

The Ministry of Households said that if there is no money, there is no money, and the Ministry of Industry said that if you attract investment, you will have money. Gradually, the trend turned to attracting investment and building roads. The emperor's worries were dispelled, and now Emperor Jingtai responded to the Ministry of Industry's performance.

The Ministry of Industry is satisfied.

Yu Shitai could only pinch his nose in recognition.

Hubu stopped arguing.

Wei Lingyuan, Minister of the Household Department who was told by Luo Shilang that he wanted to pick up money in his dreams, had a stern face, and he couldn't see how he was smiling inside.

All of these are old dramas.

After the court, the prince ignored his uncle, and impatiently came to Gu Qing who was surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Industry. "Brother Er Huang, you don't need to thank Gu. Gu knows that it is not easy for Brother Er Huang to do a job in the Ministry of Industry. Even if he is thinking of brotherly love, Gu also wants to help Brother Er Huang."

If it hadn't been known that when the crown prince persuaded Emperor Jingtai, and that the Ministry of Industry had such a trick to attract investment, the Ministry of Industry would have almost believed him.

Gu Qing blinked, and from the corner of his eye swept over the eunuch of Zhengqian Palace who invited the prince, he clasped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness' support, I will always remember it in my heart."

Shi Jiuyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, followed suit and said, "His Royal Highness is so kind, and the Ministry of Industry dare not forget."

Other officials from the Ministry of Industry followed suit.

In this way, after the prince showed his sense of superiority, he followed the eunuchs of the Zhenggan Palace to face the saint contentedly, but he didn't know that when he turned back, the Ministry of Industry almost rolled his eyes at him. Not only that, they also comforted them. Gu Qing endured the humiliation.

Gu Qing: 'Well. '

Gu Qingliang, who single-handedly manipulated all this, was not only painless, but also happy.

The author has something to say: Gu Qing: You ask me what I want to do, of course it is to save the country and the people.
