Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 207
"Returning to the emperor, everyone in the world knows that General Feng accompanied him on the southern tour. The Hangzhou garrison was led by General Feng to wipe out Tokyo. All the departments still remember General Feng. In addition, the minister received a report from his subordinates the day before yesterday. Thousands of unidentified northerners suddenly appeared in Hangzhou, acting mysteriously. I was worried that it was a rebellion, so I notified Mr. Xu to discuss countermeasures. After two days of continuous observation, I finally found out that it was the emperor who came here. The minister was terrified, Immediately bring people to pick him up, but the dog and the little girl collided with the holy car, and the emperor asked the emperor to make amends!" Sun Shixiong said slowly.

Guan Xuqing glanced at Luo Ming after listening, and said, "Didn't you say that the arrangements are quite secret? Why did people find out after only a few days? They have been under surveillance for two days and don't know?"

"I deserve death for my crimes, please the emperor give me my punishment!" Luo Ming was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees.

Guan Xuqing turned his head, ignored Luo Ming, and continued to say to Sun Shixiong: "Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors and Emperor Gaozong have gone to the south of the Yangtze River several times to understand the national economy and the people's livelihood. Although they always emphasize not to disturb the people, the governors from all over the country have escorted them. Disturbing the people in the name is a waste of people and money. Nowadays, my Qing Dynasty has been in war for many years, and there is no extra money for the construction of palaces for me. So everything is kept simple, and you don’t need to bother, do your own errands, and leave me alone .I don’t know if I’ll leave Hangzhou someday!”

"The emperor loves the people like a son, it's a blessing for the people! But the emperor is a man of gold, how can there be a little mistake. Since the emperor has already toured Hangzhou, why not let the ministers accompany the emperor to inspect Hangzhou." Sun Shixiong said unhurriedly.

Guan Xuqing smiled, as if he was satisfied with what Sun Shixiong said, but also with some reproach: "With you accompanying me, I can be safe? The two in front of you are Luo, the commander of the First Division of the Qing Dynasty. Ming, the other one is the General Feng Xianghua you mentioned just now. How dare you use a big sword in front of Guan Gong!"

Sun Shixiong hurriedly said: "I dare not, Master Luo and General Feng have both gone through hundreds of battles, big and small, and walked out of the rain of bullets and pools of blood. How can I, a scholar, dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with these two generals? Shengyan hopes to hear the emperor's teachings often, so that Hangzhou can be governed better in the future!"

"Okay, take all these people back! Don't spread the news about me in Hangzhou. I will come to your yamen tomorrow to see how you manage the people here." Guan Xuqing turned his head and saw that he was still kneeling on the ground Luo Ming said: "Don't kneel down, get up quickly. It's really difficult for you, the teacher, to be the head of the guard!"

After Luo Ming thanked him, he stood up and stood behind Guan Xuqing, staring at Sun Shixiong!
"Cha, I'm leaving!" Sun Shixiong kowtowed again and left in a hurry.

"Huh? Why isn't Master Xu leaving?" Guan Xuqing saw that Xu Bangdao had no intention of leaving at all.

"Your Majesty, I will stay here to ensure the safety of the Emperor!" Xu Bangdao said firmly.

"No need, just kneel down! There are thousands of people from the imperial forest army and guard regiment here. It's very safe, and do your own thing well. Don't delay the business because of me!" Guan Xuqing said without doubt.

"Cha, I'm leaving." Xu Bangdao reluctantly left with his troops.

Guan Xuqing looked at the people behind him, and said coldly: "Let's go, let's go back too."

"Cha." Everyone shouted in unison.

Although Guan Xuqing thought his actions in Hangzhou were quite secret, it was still easy for people to discover.Next time, you must only take two or three people out. If there are more people, the goal will be bigger.

A day later, Guan Xuqing came to the Yamen Gate of Hangzhou Magistrate.Under Sun Shixiong's care, Guan Xuqing and others entered the inner hall of the yamen smoothly.Since there are few disputes in the peaceful and prosperous age, and this year's taxes have already been fully collected and turned over.Sun Zhifu is also very leisurely.

"I came from Zhengzhou, and the people there are very sad. Food and clothing are a problem. After the flood in Zhengzhou, even several surrounding places have been implicated. For example, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture paid out of his own pocket to arrange food for the refugees. You are so busy. How can you be so leisurely!" Guan Xuqing sat on a recliner and said to Sun Shixiong in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not." Sun Shixiong hesitated for a long time, and finally asked after biting his lips.

"Say it, what can't you say?" Guan Xuqing said.

"The embankment of the Yellow River cannot be raised blindly. I believe that at this time, civilians are recruited to rammed earth to build embankments, and the embankment near the Huaihe River on the south bank of the Yellow River is extended to the east by two or three miles. It cannot be poured back into the Huaihe River, but it can be relieved for a while. At the same time, the officials of the river are strictly ordered to treat the source quickly. The officials expect that the water flow is very slow and the waterway is tortuous. The bottom of the river must be deepened," Sun Shixiong said eloquently. with.

"I think so too!" Guan Xuqing stood up excitedly, turned around twice, and said, "Not only do we need to dig deep into the bottom of the river, but we also need to make straight changes at several turns. The sand washes away and the river gets deeper. If the bottom of the river gets deeper, the water of Hongze Lake will gradually flow out, and the floods in Qizhou and County will also gradually subside. Qichao will immediately generate electricity for Yu Chenglong, Sang E, and Xu Tingxi. Immediately appoint servants to build embankments and dredge the mouths of rivers and seas.”

"Cha." Liang Qichao hastily received the order and left in a hurry.

Just as Guan Xuqing was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps from far to near, followed by the sound of arguing with the guards outside the door.

"The emperor forgives the sin, it must be because the dog knows the emperor is coming and wants to see the holy face. Please also ask the emperor to grant the sin!" Sun Shixiong said.

After hearing this, Guan Xuqing laughed loudly and said, "I've seen your son before, if it wasn't for the agility of my bodyguards, I'm afraid I would have been murdered by your son!"

"The dog is young and ignorant, please ask the emperor to punish him!" Sun Shixiong knelt down and said.

"Okay, stop kneeling. Let your son come in! I want to see if he still wants to hit me when he finds me?" Guan Xuqing joked.

Sun Shixiong got up and walked to the door. After communicating with the guard at the door, he brought his son to Guan Xuqing.

"My lord, Sun Yingjie is here to see the emperor." The young man knelt down in the tunnel and said.

"You are just a citizen, not a minister!" Guan Xuqing said coldly.

"Uh, Sun Yingjie, a grassroots man, is meeting the emperor." Sun Yingjie said with a pale face and a little stuttering.

"Get flat, what's the matter? You didn't hit me last time, do you still want to try the skills of my bodyguard?" Guan Xuqing said lightly, and Huo Yuanjia beside him took a step forward intentionally or unintentionally.

"The grass people dare not, and I hope the emperor will forgive the previous recklessness for the sake of the grass people's youth and ignorance. The grass people heard that the emperor came to the humble house, and there is something special to ask the emperor for permission." Sun Yingjie still knelt on the ground and did not get up.

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me." Guan Xuqing looked at Sun Shixiong suspiciously and said.
