Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 108 (Catching bugs)

Emperor Cheng Yuan soon arrived at the Tingzheng Hall and walked in a hurry. The gold thread and seawater dark patterns on the corners of his robe were surging with the wind. He saw Lu Yan standing outside the hall and said, “I’m so anxious to see me, but something?”

Lu Yan followed Emperor Cheng Yuan’s feet into the Hall of Hearing Government, and bowed and said, “The minister is here to confess his majesty.”

“He Xizhi has it?” Emperor Cheng Yuan sat down and sat down. Duke Sheng looked forward to serve the tea. He took a certain amount of salt, weighed it, and poured it into the cup.

Emperor Cheng Yuan took a sip of tea and motioned to Father Sheng to pour another cup, and then said: “There are no outsiders here today, sit down and say.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Lu Yan sat down, and then presented the secret letter in his sleeve to Emperor Cheng Yuan.

Emperor Cheng Yuan opened, raised his eyebrows, and chuckled. He had received the contents of this secret letter early in the morning.

I have to say that Shen Wenqi really made a great contribution this time, and it is a great achievement that will be remembered in history.

According to reports from the front, the flooding disaster is far more serious than the initial news in Beijing. The river embankment is five hundred steps wide and the middle stream is about four feet deep. The waves are turbulent and unstoppable. When the officials in the east of Henan looked at each other speechlessly, Shen Wenqi boldly proposed that a straight river should be passed over the breach instead of the original meandering river. As a result, the difficulty of blocking the mouth is greatly reduced.

Then he immediately ordered the construction of the thorny water embankment and the stone ship leaning embankment, which consisted of forty ships filled with stone blocks, sank them at the mouth of the river, and directly poured the river water to the opposite side. Half a month ago, it was simply neat. Blocked the river.

After the embankment was strengthened, the strategy of “attack sand with water” was proposed. In order to strengthen the intensity of sand attack, 30,000 troops built a grating between the two embankments day and night to keep water between the two embankments. The effect was very good.

This panicking flood is finally over.

As for those projects that require precautions, just wait until the beginning of the spring next year to start construction.

The officials in eastern Henan can be said to have tears in their eyes.

Not to mention the officials in Eastern Yu. After reading the news, Emperor Cheng Yuan himself couldn’t help but sigh. Fortunately, when he ordered someone to copy the Yunyang Hou Mansion last year, he gave an order not to allow anyone to visit Shen Wenqi. Otherwise, just his old bones, I don’t know if he can survive to this day.

It is true that with these political achievements and the two books that can be passed down for hundreds of generations, Shen Wenqi is destined to be a courtier who has done more than he ever did. Therefore, in the heart of Emperor Cheng Yuan, he opened one eye and closed one eye. , It’s over.

Emperor Cheng Yuan shook the secret letter in his hand and looked at Lu Yan with a serious face, “Is Lu Jingzhao too busy these days? Isn’t it possible to take care of your Kyoto affairs, to take care of Yudong?”

Lu Yan pressed his fist to his lips, and said softly, “Uncle.”

As soon as the voice fell, Emperor Cheng Yuan’s tight mouth inevitably twitched.

However, Lu Yan was very close to him when he was a child, and his uncles and uncles did not call him less, but since he was taken away from the imperial examination, his whole person has been observing the courtesy of the emperor and ministers, never more than half a point.

Today’s uncle, tusk, it’s really been a long time since then.

Emperor Cheng Yuan glanced sideways at the sky outside, and said sarcastically, “I thought that the sun was going out in the west today.”

Lu Yan got up and walked to the side of Emperor Cheng Yuan, bowed and said: “The minister is here today to ask your majesty to give him a marriage.”

Emperor Cheng Yuan knocked on the table without hesitation, and asked knowingly, “I don’t know who got into your Lu Saburo’s eyes?”

Lu Yan replied solemnly: “Shen Sanniang fell into the water at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day and was rescued by the minister. The woman’s reputation was damaged, and the minister could not shirk the blame.”

Hearing this, Emperor Cheng Yuan squinted his eyes, glanced up at his mouth, and his jaw was layered with flesh, “Speaking of people.”

“The minister wants to marry her.”

After a while, Emperor Cheng Yuan did not rush and said: “I ordered you to be Jing Zhaoyin and gave you heavy powers, but you used this to do favoritism. I see that you are really courageous.” Every word, it is all. The majesty of the emperor.

If you change someone, I’m afraid Khan will stay.

Lu Yan knew what Emperor Cheng Yuan was referring to, and Tietou continued: “The minister knew he was guilty.”

Emperor Cheng Yuan patted the table with his palm, “Convict? You have a slight conviction on your face. How can I think that you have been an official for many years and never made any mistakes. The eldest grandson of the family is crippled!”

Lu Yan nodded, paused, and then said: “Fortunately, your Majesty is willing to protect his ministers.”

See if someone said this? It’s really in the heart of the emperor! This is tantamount to telling the emperor that I can do my favors, thanks to you.

The sunlight outside hit Lu Yan’s iron head, the light shone, and Emperor Cheng Yuan didn’t speak for a long time.

The day after Xu Wei’s accident, Xu Xiang stood outside the hall to ask for an explanation for his son. He choked and heard the heartbreak, but Princess Jingan dragged him away.

After a while, he said he was going to play chess, and after a while, he said that he was uncomfortable.

At that time, he knew that Queen Xu was right, and that the three daughters of the Shen family were really better than the other.

Emperor Cheng Yuan sighed and solemnly said: “I ask you, that morning, when you face up, you took the lead to speak for Shen Wenqi, but are you selfish?” The emperor took the cup and took another sip.

When these words came out, Father Sheng on the side couldn’t help but shrink his head.

Lu Yan straightened his back and said upright: “The minister is absolutely selfless.”

Emperor Cheng Yuan smiled, “Nothing at all?”

Lu Yan added: “Family affairs and national affairs must not be confused.”

Emperor Cheng Yuan groaned “um” from the tip of his nose and nodded at random.

It is true that the words of Emperor Cheng Yuan asked were deliberately embarrassed, and any answer was wrong.

Acknowledge selfishness. Even though the emperor is still sincere when he reads his sentence, he can’t help but feel pierced in his ears. This is the case for the time being heard today. Who knows if you think about it in the future, will the meaning change?

Conversely, if you solemnly say that you have no two minds, you can’t help but feel hypocritical.

But how brilliant is Lu Yan, how could he be in the hands of Emperor Cheng Yuan! Although his words are too beautiful, but his decisive tone, is it not making the emperor happy?

Emperor Cheng Yuan whispered to Sheng Gong justly: “Research ink for me.”

As soon as Duke Sheng bowed his waist, Lu Yan stepped forward, “Come on, minister.”

Emperor Cheng Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, dipped in the ink, and slowly wrote down. After a long while, he threw the two volumes of imperial decree to Gong Gong Sheng, “When Shen Wenqi returns to Beijing, send it to Shen Mansion.”

Sheng Gong justified: “The minion will definitely get things done.”

Lu Yan whispered: “Thank you, uncle.”

After Lu Yan left, Grandpa Sheng, who was always with the monarch, couldn’t help but slander: When it comes to holy grace, if the Lord Zhou from Dali Temple ranks second, there is no doubt that the elder son of Zhen Guo Gong Mansion is the first.

——

On the evening of September 29th, Shen Wenqi returned to Beijing. However, as soon as he entered the gate of Shen Mansion, Shen Jiao, Shen Zhen and Shen Hong on the side reddened their eyes.

Sure enough, there is no feat in the world.

Shen Wen’s left arm was bruised. As the illness has dragged on again and again, the situation is not optimistic. It is already impossible to recover as before. I can only be thankful that he hurt his left arm, not his right arm like Su Heng.

If a civil servant can’t pick up a pen, what career career will he pursue?

And after a careful question, Shen Yu found out that if Su Heng hadn’t stopped him, Shen Wenqi would have injured more than one arm.

Speaking of Su Heng, the needles inside the house can fall quietly.

Shen Wenqi looked at his little daughter and sighed. Last time he left in a hurry, there was too much time to ask her.

It was too late to ask her where the three-in and three-out yard came from; too late to ask her, no one helped her, how could she easily build so many businesses in the East and West Market, let alone ask her if anyone was wronged by her.

“Zhen Er, Aye asks you…”

Of course, before Shen Wenqi finished speaking, she interrupted: “It’s dark outside. You should rest early. If you want to ask anything, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

At this moment, Shen Zhen had only Shen Wenqi’s arm in her eyes, and she was thinking about how to invite the genius doctor of the Bai family to treat her father.

“Zhen’er.” Aunt Shen tugged her buttocks as if to freeze the same Shen Zhen, “You come with A sister.”

Shen Wenqi glanced at Shen Hao and knew that their sisters had something to say, so he nodded and said to Shen Zhen: “Okay, I’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Shen Jia dragged Shen Zhen back to the house, and the two of them looked at each other and said together:

Shen Lao said: “Aye wants to ask you something tomorrow, do you know?”

Shen Zhen said: “Sister, I want to ask the white girl to see Aye for the doctor tomorrow.”

Shen Jia looked at her red eyes and said, “Don’t worry, the prince will naturally send a famous doctor over.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhen let out a sigh of relief.

Shen Lao said: “What do you think about the matter between you and Lu Yan?”

Shen Zhen squeezed the belly of her fingers and whispered, “You can’t tell the truth.” As far as she did the outside room for Lu Yan, she couldn’t speak to her father anyway.

“You can just say what you want. Instead, I watched. The town government office is about to come to propose a kiss. Aye is in doubt, but once the kiss is made, he can’t say anything.” Aunt Shen rubbed her hair and hinted: “Zhen Er, Chang Pinghou, Sister A will come to thank you personally.”

Shen Zhen was taken aback, and she understood what A sister meant in a flash-since she was missed, don’t get involved further.

“I understand.”

Shen Jia nodded.

Before Shen Zhen went to bed, she was still thinking about the remarks. Unexpectedly, Qingxi pulled her up early the next morning. “Girl, get up, Grandpa Sheng from Ouchi has arrived with the edict.”

Shen Zhen’s beautiful eyes were round, turned over and sat up, and after picking up himself, hurriedly went to the main courtyard.

Duke Sheng pinched his throat to read it out, and handed over the decree and booklet in his hand to Shen Wenqi, “Congratulations to Shen Shangshu.”

Shen Wenqi made great contributions, and jumped back to his position a year ago directly from the chief governor of the river defense envoy, the third grade of the Ministry of Industry is a book, impartial, just like a mountain, pressing Li Di’s head.

“Your Majesty also said that since Shen Shangshu has been seriously injured, he doesn’t need to go to court these few days, just rest at home for a while.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Shen Wenqi said.

As soon as Shen Wenqi was about to get up, Duke Sheng yelled again in a low voice, “Hold on, we still have a decree that we haven’t read yet.”

Shen Wenqi frowned suddenly. He was an official for several years. The decree in his hand was in his expectation, but there was another decree… he couldn’t guess it.

Duke Sheng gave a light cough, and said in no hurry, “Shen’s third mother listens to the decree.”

Shen Zhen bowed to be etiquette, “The minister is here.”

Here is a letter from the Ministry of Industry, Shen Wenqi, the daughter of Shen Wenqi, who is gentle and honest, has outstanding appearance, and has the beauty of peace and integrity. I and the princess Jing’an are very pleased to hear about it. Lu Yan, the eldest son of Zhenguo Gongfu, is twenty four years old. The value of Shen Sanniang, Shen Zhen, is in her boudoir, and Lu Sanlang Lu Yan is a perfect match, and it is the beauty of adults. He gives Lu Yan to Lu Yan as his wife, and chooses the auspicious day to get married.

Who said that the autumn breeze is slightly cooler, obviously warmer than summer.
