Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 169 The Prophecy in the Dream (Part [-])
When Bai Qi heard it, his face turned dark.He Lianyu obviously took the opportunity to come to Lingquan Palace to find out, why did he come here to read out the imperial decree, there are so many father-in-laws in front of the imperial court, why does it need a prince to come in person?
Seeing Bai Qi standing still, He Lianyu's expression turned cold, and he shouted angrily, "It's a capital crime to dare to obstruct the king's decree, get out of the way!"

A voice full of sarcasm suddenly came from inside, "Tsk, sure enough, the people who became kings are different. I haven't seen you for half a day, and my third brother has lost his temper."

He Lianyu was startled, is He Lianjin really in Lingquan Palace?

There was a smile on his face, "Since the second brother knows that I'm here to deliver the decree, why do you avoid seeing me?"

He Lianjin sneered, "I always thought it was the eunuch's job to deliver the decree. I never thought that you, the third brother, would be so unkind and take their jobs."

These words were full of irony, which made He Lianyu's face completely black.

Another voice came from inside, "Didn't the third brother come to pass the decree? Why hasn't there been any movement for a long time?"

Just as He Lianyu was about to speak, He Lianjin blocked his way first, "Don't tell me that according to the rules, I should go out and kneel down to receive the order. If I don't go, why don't you give the imperial edict to me?" Me?"

A trace of hostility flashed across He Lianyu's dark face, knowing that even if he said a few more words, He Lianjin would not come out, so he could only stand outside the door with a stiff voice and finish the recitation of the imperial decree, and finally handed it over to Bai rise.

Before leaving, He Lianjin's voice came out again, "The last time my king was assassinated, I hope my third brother can tell the minister of Dali Temple. If the case can't be closed within five days, then he can go home to retire. "

He Lianyu twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes were dark, "Please wait and see, second brother." When the time comes, either you will die or I will die!

After speaking, he left Lingquan Palace in a swagger.

After confirming that He Lianyu had completely gone away, Bai Qi pushed open the door and looked at the person sitting in front of the desk in surprise, "Did the master come back at the right time?" When He Lianyu came before, he I was still worried that if the master was not inside, it would be a while.

He Lianjin responded lightly, "It just so happens."

Bai Qi patted his chest with lingering fear, "Originally, when Princess Yongchun came, this subordinate wanted to use ventriloquism to imitate the master's voice to get away with it, but the subordinate was afraid that she would kick the door in directly, so I gave up the idea." , tell Princess Yongchun directly that the master is in a bad mood and has not seen anyone."

He Lianjin said "Yes", "You can hide it from others, but Shuang'er, it's a bit difficult. After all, they are brothers and sisters of the same mother. She can tell whether it is the voice of the king."

Bai Qi cupped his hands, "So, what's the master's next plan?"

He Lianjin stroked his chin and meditated for a moment, "I am waiting for some news. You have people pay close attention to the movement in the imperial study room. Once there is a disaster in the south, immediately notify the two ministers of the household department and the left minister. Support He Lianyu and go south for disaster relief."

These three people were bought by He Lianjin through years of hard work, with thunderous means and real skills under the surface of a dandy, and they are absolutely loyal.

After following He Lianjin for such a long time, Bai Qi and the rest of the hidden guards have long been accustomed to the ability of the master's "prophet", so it is not surprising that He Lianjin can know in advance that there will be disasters in the south.

After Bai Qi went down, He Lianjin called Bai Shu in again.

"Have you found out about He Lianyu's biggest hidden stakes in the capital?"

"Returning to the master, there are three large-scale hidden piles, and all of them have been found out."

He Lianjin looked at the faint light on the table, and curled his lips coldly, "Fake evidence all the way according to the plan made before, and draw the attention of Dali Temple Secretary to He Lianyu's hidden pile, and take this opportunity to get the three places Hidden stakes are uprooted."

"My subordinate understands!"

-

The next day, before the court meeting was over, an urgent report came from Jian'an Prefecture in the south. The sluice gate of Qingwan Reservoir was opened for some reason, and the water in the reservoir rushed out, breaking the dam. Because it was night, the nearby people could not immediately After escaping, countless people were implicated and suffered heavy losses, so he asked the imperial court for support.

After watching it, Emperor Yonglong's not-so-good-looking complexion became gloomy again.

This matter was quickly discussed in the Golden Palace. Qingwan Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Southern Province. There are tens of thousands of people living near the dam. Now that the reservoir is flooding, it is not necessary to think that there must be many people involved.

For a time, there were different opinions.

Emperor Yonglong looked at He Lianyu, "What advice does King Xian have for this?"

He Lianyu said: "The most important thing now is to settle down the people near the reservoir who have not been affected. As for those who have been affected and died or injured, the corpses must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise the plague will easily break out after a long time. On the other side of the reservoir, Arrange for the river channel inspector to understand the situation first, if the disaster is caused by the sluice of the reservoir being in disrepair for a long time, then the governor of the river channel cannot absolve himself of the blame, and should deal with it according to the laws of Nanliang."

Emperor Yonglong said: "It's not difficult to let the inspectors of the river go south to understand the situation. The difficult thing is who to send to resettle the people and deal with the reconstruction after the disaster?"

Settling down the people is an extremely challenging task. The people in the disaster-stricken area have already been psychologically traumatized by the disaster. If the person responsible for the resettlement makes a little inappropriate words or measures, it will easily lead to riots.

The left minister came out, "The old minister believes that His Royal Highness is gentle, amiable, and upright in dealing with others, without arrogance or impetuosity. If His Royal Highness can personally go to rebuild after the disaster, it will surely achieve the effect of soothing people's hearts, and get twice the result with half the effort .”

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials also listed, "Veteran ministers agree, His Royal Highness the Xian Wang is well known for his virtuous reputation. This time the people suffered a disaster, it is necessary for the court to send a representative person to deal with the aftermath, and His Highness the Xian Wang is undoubtedly the first choice."

"What does King Wei think?" Emperor Yonglong glanced at He Lianxun.

He Lianxun is not good at comforting people. He is eager to push it all on He Lianyu. Although he understands that he is assisting He Lianyu, he has no choice. He secretly swallowed the material of being accompanied by a smiling face, "Returning to my father, I also think that my third brother is the best candidate to preside over the post-disaster reconstruction." Even if he is not willing to give Helian Yu an assist for nothing, he will definitely not The fight will be put on the bright side, so at this time, the most sensible way is to second the proposal of those prestigious old guys. In this way, maybe you can leave a good impression on Emperor Yonglong, no As for losing completely.

Emperor Yonglong asked several ministers one after another. Except for the three arranged by He Lianjin, the other ministers had different opinions, but most of them were in favor of letting He Lianyu go south to relieve the disaster. The gossip about Yu in the past period of time believed that he had a bad style and was not good enough to take on this important task, but after all, there were only a few people who opposed it, so this matter finally decided that He Lianyu immediately set off to the south for disaster relief.

When Bai Qi brought the news back, He Lianjin wasn't surprised at all, "Have all the hidden guards going south with He Lianyu been arranged?"

Bai Qi cupped his hands, "Master, everything has been arranged, as soon as the virtuous king leaves, our people will follow."

He Lianjin nodded, "Admonish them, they must never show their traces to let He Lianyu notice. If they can't even do this well, they don't have to come back alive."

"Subordinates obey."

He Lianjin was lazily leaning on the guiding pillow. It might not be a bad thing to be confined to Lingquan Palace, at least He Lianyu's people couldn't get close at all, and couldn't monitor what he was doing at all.In this way, he would be less on guard and devote more energy to do other things.

At noon, Eunuch Zhang, who was beside Emperor Yonglong, brought over the homework assigned by Mr. Shangshufang to the children of the royal family.

He Lianjin took it, glanced at it casually, and threw the scroll back to Eunuch Zhang, "You go back and tell my father, just say I can't."

Big cold sweat rolled down Eunuch Zhang's forehead, "His Royal Highness, would you like to stop watching?"

"No, it won't." He Lianjin said impatiently: "What's the use of seeing?"

Eunuch Zhang wiped off his cold sweat again, "But the emperor ordered..."

He Lianjin sneered coldly, "Not to mention the emperor's order, even the Jade Emperor's order will not work. This king said, no, are you deaf?"

Look, what kind of homework has the gentleman in Shangshufang assigned him, asking him to list at least five feasible plans based on the southern flood. Obviously, this is Emperor Yonglong's test for him, and it can be regarded as the last chance for him.

He is the only one who knows his current situation best. Before He Lianyu fell from the horse, he would not be able to reveal his true strength, so others can think whatever they want, and he just needs to continue to carry out his plan secretly.

Eunuch Zhang shook his body, put away the scroll and turned to go out.

Not long after, the eunuch's call came from outside again, "The empress is here——"

He Lianjin was unmoved, and didn't even think about getting up to greet her.

As soon as Empress Luo entered the hall, she saw He Lianjin lying on the bench in the outer hall like a corpse.

"Jin'er, are you sick?" Empress Luo turned pale, and hurried over, put the back of her hand on his forehead, and then she was relieved, "It's okay."

"Why is the queen mother here?" He Lianjin sat up slowly and closed his clothes.

"If I don't come, will I let you continue to mess around?" Empress Luo said with a bit of blame, "You said that you were a dandy and rebellious four years ago. Restrain yourself, I didn't expect to let you go out of Beijing, but let you do whatever you want. Jin'er, your starting point was originally higher than that of any other prince, why didn't you take good care of it and make it to this point by yourself? ?”

He Lianjin said indifferently: "My son has no intention of going to court, so what's the point of arguing with them all day long?"

"But you should at least correct yourself, and don't provoke your father at every turn. He doesn't punish you now because I haven't fallen out of favor. If I accidentally fall into the hands of Concubine Xiao, where will I be?" When the real wall falls and everyone pushes it, what can you do?"

"This is my nature, and I can't correct it." He Lianjin said boldly.

Empress Luo said tearfully: "Since you landed, you have been watched by me growing up. I don't know what kind of temperament you are. Before you were ten years old, you were well-behaved and sensible, respecting the old and the virtuous, but since you were ten years old, you have grown up. You fell off a horse and fell into a coma for a few days and then woke up, you changed, as if you became another person, how many times I want to comfort myself that you are only temporarily like this because you hurt your head, but I can't do it because Your temperament has changed for several years, if you really broke your brain, the imperial doctor would have noticed it a long time ago."

He Lianjin lowered his eyes and his voice faded, "So, what does the queen mother want to say?"

"You tell the queen mother, what happened when you were ten years old? Jin'er, do you have any secrets? If so, then you only need to nod, and I will only ask you for details. Or is there something else? What caused you to become what you are now?"

He Lianjin was silent for a while.

Just when Empress Luo thought she was talking nonsense again, he suddenly asked, "Does the empress trust my son?"

"You are my own flesh and blood. If I don't believe you, who do you believe?" Empress Luo looked at him eagerly, "Jin'er, if you want to speak, please speak slowly. I have time to listen, so don't worry."

He Lianjin was silent again for a moment, then raised his head and looked at her seriously, "During the few days when Erchen fell off his horse and fell into a coma when he was ten years old, he had a long, long dream about many people and things in the future. , I didn’t believe it at first, but as time went by, I found that many things in the dream had come true.”

Empress Luo opened her mouth in disbelief, "Fulfilled?"

"Well." He Lianjin said: "Don't mention the previous things, I dreamed that my father would die in four years, and my mother, you died because you couldn't bear this cruel fact."
