The rebirth of the noble concubine Wushuang

Chapter 826

"It's simply presumptuous! Presumptuous!" Sitting behind the desk, Xie Ling looked at Xie Chu with sharp eyes.

It was really unbearable, and the memorial in his hand was viciously thrown on the ground.

Xie Chu stood aside, with drooping eyelids, watching with concern, unmoved.

Xie Ling glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, seeing that he really didn't intend to talk to him, the scene was a bit dry for a while.

This one-man show... Xie Ling felt a little regretful. He knew that he shouldn't have played tricks and tricks with him, Uncle Wang. In terms of endurance, his father might not be able to subdue him, let alone him. This is the new emperor who has just ascended the throne.

Well, the sins I have done have to be ended by myself.

Xie Ling cleared his throat, and continued what he said just now: "A counselor appeared out of nowhere in the Cangzhou Kingdom, calling the wind and calling the rain, and gave all the spies that Dayu had planted in the Cangzhou Kingdom for many years. clean."

Looking at Xie Chu who was standing below with his sleeves in his sleeves, Xie Ling didn't care about the worldly demeanor, Xie Ling didn't play tricks with him, and cut straight to the point: "Maybe Uncle Wang offer advice?"

After being called by Xie Ling, Xie Chu finally reacted. He raised his head and looked at the person with indifferent eyes: "There is nothing to be afraid of, a clown in a small country."

Twelve words came out of his mouth, majestic and shocking.

Xie Lingxin unconsciously calmed down, with helplessness on his face, he let out a long sigh: "Cangzhou Kingdom was originally a small country, but today's Khan is aggressive and hardworking, but after a few years, it has been governed up and down like an iron bucket, annexing several surrounding countries. Small country."

There is no need to say the rest, what Xie Ling is worried about is that if there is no rectification now, it will be too late to raise tigers.

"What your Majesty is worried about now is not foreign aggression, but near-term worries." Xie Chu opened his mouth abruptly, looking straight at Xie Ling, his pale glass eyes pointing directly at people's hearts.

Xie Ling frowned, and disagreed with Xie Chu's arbitrariness: "Uncle Wang's words are biased, there are wolves around, if we don't deal with it now, will we let the foreigners grow stronger?"

His tone was unhappy, obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with Xie Chu's words, and even felt that he was talking nonsense.

Xie Chu squinted his eyes, and his tone was flat, without any ups and downs: "Your Majesty, if the state of Cang Zhou reaches the point where it can fight Dayu, how long will it take? Three to five years? I think it may take dozens of years. Years later, Nacang Zhou will have a single enemy."

Xie Ling clenched his hands unconsciously on the table. Of course he knew what Xie Chu said, but what would happen decades later, why not prepare early now?

Did he put such a high-ranking preaching in his eyes as the emperor?

"Uncle Wang, I am today's son, and you are my subject and my king." Xie Ling's voice sank, and his expression became even more unsightly.

Zhu Cheng didn't dare to breathe when he was beside him. In the wrath of the emperor, millions of corpses were buried and blood flowed for thousands of miles. I'm afraid only King Yong dared to be so bold as to choke with His Majesty.

Xie Chu pursed his lips, this was the first time Xie Ling played the role of an emperor in front of him, lowered his eyelids to cover the emotion in his eyes, he softened his tone.

"The late emperor once sent His Majesty and ministers to investigate a corrupt official case three years ago. I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers it."

Xie Ling was also aware of the stalemate in the atmosphere, and regretted it for a while. He and Xie Chu had been in love since childhood, and he once respected himself as the uncle Wang very much.

But now, it's just that their identities have changed, and gradually, even the relationship between the two of them has changed.

Now that Xie Chu is willing to take the initiative to relax, Xie Ling will naturally not show off: "Naturally, I remember that Mr. Li is a rare Qingliu, and he almost ruined his reputation."

This time, Xie Chu's tone was no longer as strong as before, and he said dutifully and kindly: "Back then, in the case of the flood in Li County, the imperial court allocated a huge sum of money to build a dam, and the blueprints for the design were invited by experts in flood control. Said that it can protect Li County from flooding within ten years."

Speaking of those years, Xie Ling's eyes also softened, with a look of nostalgia: "But in just three years, the dam was destroyed by the flood, millions of people were displaced, their families were destroyed, and the father was furious, so he sent Uncle Wang You investigate this matter with me."

Seeing that he still remembered this matter, Xie Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and pondered the words in his heart.

Today's His Majesty is no longer the third prince of the past, and he should not be too casual in his words and deeds.

In the case of Li County back then, when he and Xie Ling passed by, the imperial court had probably reached a conclusion. The imperial court had enough money, and the person who escorted the silver was Li Taifu, a close confidant of the late emperor, so it was impossible to embezzle it. Drawings, not to mention Li County, a place with uncomplicated terrain, are more delicate drawings.The more difficult floods are not a problem.

But for so many years, only Li County has a problem.

One link after another, it is not difficult to speculate that the only problem is that the county magistrate of Li County embezzled money, did the bean curd project, and cut corners, which led to such a big disaster.

Even if the first emperor didn't say it directly, everyone in the court knew that he and Xie Ling went there this time to investigate on the surface, but in fact there would be no accidents. They were to arrest the magistrate Li.

When he arrived in Li County, the county magistrate couldn't tell why, he had already foreseen his fate, and when he saw him and Xie Ling, he arrested him without even struggling to defend himself.

Seeing that Xie Ling came back to his senses, Xie Chu continued: "Back then, the minister wanted to behead the county magistrate to show the public. On the day of the execution, the people all cried in the execution ground, begging for the county magistrate's mercy."

Xie Ling also took up the conversation: "A county magistrate who is so popular with the people, I didn't believe that he would embezzle the money for building the dam, so I issued a military order to Uncle Wang."

At that time, he was high-spirited and did things freely, and he promised Xie Chu that he would give him an explanation in three days.

Xie Chu said softly: "Three days later, Your Majesty found out that the embankment was eaten by termites. It looked intact from the outside, but the inside was already hollow."

Had it not been for Xie Ling back then, the county magistrate would have died of injustice.

Xie Ling struggled out of the past, looked at Xie Chu, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd: "Why did Uncle Wang suddenly think of these old things today?"

Xie Chu took out his hand and raised it up high. His hand with clear bones looked very good under the lamp: "Your Majesty, I just want to use this as a metaphor."

He raised his head and his gaze was like a torch: "The imperial court spent millions of silver to build the embankment, ten years of floods couldn't wash it away, but within three years, it was completely destroyed by moths."

As soon as Xie Chu's words fell, Xie Ling suddenly seemed to be punched by someone, deafening and pale.

Seeing Xie Ling's reaction, Xie Chu was relieved, and said slowly: "Dayu is now like the dam in Li County, and the flood is like Cangzhou Kingdom..."

What a moth is is self-evident.
