Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 120 Fukuzawa Qianqiu, Yushitai Chengrui【Ask for a monthly ticket】

"My concubine has seen Your Majesty."

In Jingde Palace, Zhao Lingying and a group of people waited for the ceremony.

"Get up." Wei Yunyi nodded, held the other's hand and said, "Aifei, is there anything new recently?"

I was thinking about finding someone to supervise the two projects, but I really had no idea.

Thinking that this matter has not officially started to be implemented anyway, there is no need to be too anxious.

Just ignore it for now.

It's better to ask if there is anything else going on recently.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's nothing serious." Zhao Lingying smiled.

In recent days, the court has been relatively stable.

Even if something happens.

It is also about the war in the northern border and the reforms in the south of the Yangtze River.

And this is not much different from before, and I can handle it completely.

But soon, Zhao Lingying seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "However, there is a memorial, which was written by Sun Kejian. As for the person who wrote the memorial, it was Mr. Cheng from Yushitai."

Is there anyone else playing Sun Kejian?

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi was slightly surprised.

As early as some time ago, I had already ordered that the courtiers were not allowed to continue discussing about Sun Kejian.

Unexpectedly, there are still people who dare to write a memorial at this time
It's very courageous.

But soon, he was suddenly stunned, and immediately said: "Master Cheng from Yushitai, is that Cheng Rui?"

"That's right." Zhao Lingying nodded, feeling a little helpless.

This person is because of participating in Sun Kejian's affairs.

Has been fined twice in a row.

Now that I don't have a long memory, it's the third time, aren't you afraid of angering His Majesty?

Could it be that the censors are all so stubborn?

Wei Yunyi was also very surprised at this time, feeling that this person was too straightforward, holding on to one person and not letting him go.After I gave the order last time, the other Yushitai officials all died down, but what about this person?

Came again.
Simply.

But for such a person, he still admired him very much.

At least he is not afraid of power and is decent enough!
and many more!

Suddenly, Wei Yunyi's eyes lit up.

Since Cheng Rui can be upright to this point.

Then why can't I hand over the supervision of the two projects to the other party?

It should be noted that the most troublesome thing for him before was the Grand Canal and Wei Zhidao, although someone has already presided over it.

However, the conscripted corvees need to be paid wages and given enough rest time.

As the emperor himself, issuing imperial orders can be said to be very simple.

But whether the people below can carry it out firmly.

But it is a problem.

Therefore, in this process, someone must supervise it.

Otherwise, it would be easy to cause accidents, such as someone enriching their own pockets, not paying wages to the yamen servants, or forcing them to work. In this way, it is completely inconsistent with their original intentions.

Even though Wei Yunyi knew very well, if this kind of thing happened, it would weaken Dawei's luck.

But what he has to do is not to increase the burden on the people.

Otherwise, what is the difference between a fairy and a fairy?

Furthermore.

With these two projects, it is enough to consume luck, and there is no need to put the burden on the people.

In this way, the person who supervises this project is the most important thing, whether it is character or other aspects, they must pass the test.

But now, under such circumstances, Cheng Ruineng still insisted on participating in the performance of Sun Kejian.

It has already proved the character of this person.

Is a courtier.

Can take on this important task completely!
At this point in his thoughts, Wei Yunyi felt more and more that this was a good idea, and immediately said directly: "Concubine Ai, you draw up an edict to ask Cheng Rui to inspect the censor and supervise the Grand Canal and Wei Zhidao's affairs throughout."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Lingying next to her was a little confused.

Originally thought that Mr. Cheng of Yushitai might be punished by His Majesty again.

But I didn't expect His Majesty to make himself issue an edict.

Of course, she was even more puzzled.

It is the so-called Grand Canal and Wei Zhidao
And Wei Yunyi also saw the doubt in the other party's eyes, smiled slightly, and then began to explain what happened in the imperial meeting today.

Concubine Ying helped her handle the memorial, so she must understand this aspect, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble later.

After all, once these two projects are carried out, various problems will definitely arise.

But as for myself, it's impossible to pay attention to everything, right?
therefore.

The best way.

Just let the other person help you.

On the other side, Zhao Lingying's eyes widened after hearing these explanations.

In her eyes, these two projects are definitely a waste of time and money.

But if you think about it carefully.

It doesn't seem to be fully understood.

Not to mention Wei Zhidao, just talking about the Grand Canal is to strengthen the connection between the north and the south, and bring the prosperity of the south to the north.

Moreover, once the canal is opened, it will save a lot of time from north to south, so that the imperial court's control over the south will also be strengthened a lot.

In other words, both politically and economically, there are great benefits.

Thinking about it now, the Grand Canal seems to require a lot of manpower and material resources.

But in the long run.

It is definitely a big project that benefits the country and the people.

Sure enough, His Majesty is still His Majesty, to think of such an astonishing feat
Especially to defy all opinions and start directly, it is absolutely magnificent.

Throughout the dynasties, it is extremely rare.

Especially when I heard that I was going to pay wages for the corvee, I was a little shocked.

But soon realized that this is His Majesty's kindness to the world.

Especially now.

Just after the farming period, most of the people are at home with nothing to do.

And these two major projects can take advantage of this opportunity to increase more income for the common people.

So at this moment.

Zhao Lingying agreed with this decision very much, and couldn't help but said immediately: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, once the North and South Grand Canals are connected, it will surely be a blessing for generations to come."

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi couldn't help but be a little surprised, because it was seen by ordinary people.

He would never accept it anyway, and it would definitely bring down the court.

Just look at the reactions of those cabinet masters.

But now it seems.

Concubine Ying seems to have the same vision.
Of course, these are not important for the time being.

So he thought for a while, and continued: "Okay, let's draw up the decree first."

Zhao Lingying didn't hesitate, and started to write directly.

She didn't know Cheng Rui from Yushitai, but from the few times he participated in the performance of Sun Kejian, she knew that he was a decent person, and it was definitely the best choice for him to be the supervisor of the censor.

As for the Supervisor Zhang Yingxing, this is the first time I have heard of it.

But since it was jointly recommended by Taifu and Song Gongwen, there should be no problem.

And after the decree was drawn up, Wei Yunyi felt relieved.

As for the others, he didn't bother.

After chatting with Concubine Ying for a while, he left directly.

As for the purpose, it is naturally Dan Fang.

At the same time, tell Wang Jin to issue an edict, and then urge him about the little celestial master of Longhu Mountain.

Now he urgently needs to improve his strength, and the refining of Dahuan Dan is quite complicated.

Especially when the martial arts cultivation base is improved later.

The assistance of pills is even more needed.

Although Wei Yunyi is sure that as long as the two projects of the Grand Canal and Weizhi Road are moved, the luck will inevitably decline, but he still feels that he needs to make two preparations.

In the east of the capital city, the house of Song Dynasty.

Zhang Yingxing was shocked when he heard that he was appointed as the supervisor and started to build the Grand Canal and Wei Zhidao.

His face was full of disbelief, as if he didn't believe it at all, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Gongwen, is it true at this time, His Majesty really appointed me as the supervisor?"

Previously, Zhang Yingxing wanted to be an official, not only to display his talents, but also to prove himself in front of his uncle.

But in his heart, he felt that if he wanted to achieve that step, he would have to go through many ups and downs.

But he didn't care, because he was wandering outside these years.

Already trained a tough heart.

therefore.

Zhang Yingxing thought that he could afford to wait and was already prepared.

But today, Song Gongwen actually brought the news of His Majesty directly.

I want to make myself a supervising envoy and a minister of the Ministry of labor.

Although only temporarily.

But after hearing this sentence, he still couldn't help being shocked, it was too fast.

"This is what His Majesty said personally, how can it be false?" Song Gongwen frowned, and then said: "Don't worry, this was decided at the imperial meeting, and even the teacher knows it, so you can go to the Ministry of Industry and take up your post with peace of mind. .”

Having said that, I also understand the other party's mood.

No fame, no reputation whatsoever.

Just be an official like this.

It is unbelievable for anyone to be the Minister of the Ministry of Labor.

But Song Gongwen thought that Sun Kejian was not like this before, huh?
His Majesty's decision is so different.

Even if no one understands.

But it must be the wisest.

"Uncle also knows?" Hearing this, Zhang Yingxing was stunned, then fell silent for a while, and then said: "Didn't uncle object when you recommended me?"

In his eyes, that uncle has always felt that he is not up to date, playing with things all day long.

So definitely something to say.

And the other party is the current imperial tutor and the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The weight of any sentence is very heavy, if you speak.

His Majesty will definitely consider it today.

"Teacher, he also supports you."

Song Gongwen continued: "Brother Ying Xing, I told you before that the teacher cared about you. Even though I felt that you didn't like reading sage books and was angry with you, I still chose to support you in the end."

"After all, you are the only family member of the teacher. Of course, there is also the meaning of letting you try."

Speaking of this, he smiled softly and continued: "Didn't you always want to be an official? Now His Majesty has agreed to entrust this important task to you. Next, you have to do it well."

"This is a heavy burden, but the national policy set by His Majesty himself cannot be sloppy in any case."

"If it is not the case, more than a dozen prefectures and millions of people will be implicated!"

In fact, this time, Song Gongwen recommended Zhang Yingxing.

If something goes wrong with it.

He was the first to be unlucky.

But Song Gongwen didn't care much about this.

What he really cares about is how many people will suffer if there is a problem with the Grand Canal project.

For a long time, the repair of water conservancy has been the most important thing for every court, because it concerns millions of people.

The Grand Canal connects dozens of rivers, and around these rivers, there are not only hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, but also millions of people.

Whenever there are some minor problems in the process, it is a major event for the court and the Great Wei.

That's why he reminded the other party at this time that he needs to be careful.

in fact.

It was also decided in Song Gongwen's mind.

In case you find your friend, you don't know about it.

At that time, we must report to His Majesty and remove the other party from the post of supervisor.

It's okay to be an official, but if you want to pay the price of countless people, you can't allow it anyway.

Zhang Yingxing naturally understood Song Gongwen's meaning, so he took a deep breath and said seriously: "Brother Gongwen, don't worry, since His Majesty gave me such an opportunity, I will definitely do well, and I will not let Your Majesty, you and uncle Disappointed."

"I will absolutely supervise the creation of a canal that can bless the world and the common people, and do my best for my great Wei!"

For the Grand Canal, it is not too difficult to build a straight road.

As long as it is durable and conforms to His Majesty's wishes, it will be fine.

So he is very clear.

Which of these two projects is the key.

"With your words, I'm relieved." Song Gongwen nodded, and then continued: "But you are amazing, you think of things like canals with Your Majesty."

This sentence is true. In his eyes, digging the Grand Canal is very good, benefiting the country and the people.

But it is not something ordinary people can think of.

Your majesty is wise and mighty.

It is normal in his eyes to have such a forward vision.

And this friend, who has traveled all over the sea and mountains of the Great Wei, made this suggestion and it was expected.

The problem is that everything is thought of now, and at the same time
"Don't talk about you, in fact, I didn't think of it either."

Zhang Yingxing thought for a while, and said: "According to what you said before, Your Majesty is a wise king through the ages, and although the Grand Canal is good, it will waste people's money for a long time, even if Your Majesty knew it, he would not bring it up so soon, would he? "

"Even if I want to raise it, I will follow my uncle's advice and divide it into several steps."

He also heard from Song Gongwen about today's imperial meeting.

Zhang Yingxing also admitted that the Grand Canal wastes money and people.

After all, it is from north to south.

The distance is more than 2000 miles, and it takes a lot of national power to support it.

Today, although the imperial court is not considered eventful, reforms are being implemented in the south of the Yangtze River, and wars are going on in the north.

It stands to reason that His Majesty should choose to proceed safely.

Just like my uncle's suggestion.

Divide into several sections, and then dig slowly.

In this way, it can not only consume national power, but also maintain the stability of the court.

But that His Majesty chose not to do so.

After Song Gongwen heard his doubts, he immediately became indifferent, and continued: "Your Majesty is a man of great courage. Even if he knows the road ahead is difficult, he will not choose to back down."

"Now you can be regarded as an official of the imperial court. You will understand what I said in the future."

"All in all, as ministers, it is definitely a lifetime luck for us to be able to assist such a monarch!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Zhang Yingxing next to him was moved for a while.

In the past few days, I have been listening to the other party praising His Majesty the current emperor, and now I hear this again, how can I not feel fluctuated.

If he was just an idler before the change, he could not care about it, but now he can be regarded as an official of the court.

Knowing the significance of a British lord to a country and its subjects.

It's just that Zhang Yingxing didn't say much.

Because the heart is very clear.

No matter what, you must do your best and be perfect.

Moreover, in his plan, Wei Zhidao and digging the Grand Canal are just the starting point to display his inner talents and ambitions, and his future self will have to do more.

Help the current Majesty, strengthen the national power, and become a real prosperous dynasty!

Immediately, the two chatted about other insignificant things.

Zhang Yingxing felt that he should take office as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the Grand Canal and Weizhidao projects should start as soon as possible.

So it didn't take long before I went directly to the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, Song Gongwen did not forget to write a document to prove his identity.

But if he wanted to take office, he still told Zhang Yingxing that he still wanted to go to the Ministry of Officials.

In addition to the procedures that must be followed.

I just want to take this opportunity to let the other party and the teacher get together.

After all, the other party has never been back since he came back.

Naturally, Zhang Yingxing would not refuse.

He knew that his uncle was not what he used to be, and there was nothing wrong with seeing him.

So after getting the paperwork, I left in a hurry.

At the same time, Yushitai.

Yushitai is the building closest to the imperial palace after the Hanlin Academy.

Even closer than the six yamen.

This also fully demonstrates the status of the censor.

And Yushi's background is also very high.

Only the top three in the imperial examination are eligible to enter.

Because they are basically selected from the list.

Therefore, the officials of Yushitai and Hanlin Academy are usually called Qingliu upstarts. After a certain number of years, they are the magistrate at worst.

For a while, Yushitai was very busy.

A few months ago, because King Yan became a feudal domain.

Almost everyone in Yushitai had written a booklet, and some of them had three lectures a day.

It's a pity that His Majesty's arbitrariness today has all been refuted.

The censors were not reconciled to this.

But soon.

His Majesty promoted Song Gongwen to the cabinet again, and was promoted to seven ranks in one go.

The censors felt that the opportunity had come again, and then they started to play without stopping.

But in the end, it was refuted again.

Then, Song Hongzhi served as the commander of Liaozhen, and Sun Kejian, the queen mother's cousin, went into business in private.

The people at Yushitai were conscientious and conscientious, and felt that there was a big problem, so they began to play.

It's a pity that the battle of Gaoyang Kingdom was completely victorious, and Gaoyang Kingdom was destroyed.

It made many censors feel uncomfortable.

Especially after His Majesty's repeated warnings, the participation in Sun Kejian was reduced.

Up to now, the people in Yushitai no longer write memorials, and they are not as busy as before, with nothing to do every day.

Even the doctor Yushi who is in charge of Yushitai sometimes doesn't come.

But these.

But it doesn't affect anyone at all.

That was Cheng Rui, the imperial censor at the time.

Because of Sun Kejian's incident, two memorials were published and he was fined twice in a row.

But he was not afraid, and now he was sitting in the yamen of Yushitai, preparing to write the fourth memorial!
