On the small river, there is a small boat with a leaf.
The two figures stand side by side, narrow but not crowded.
On this day, Ning Fan and Bai Qi chatted for a long time, ranging from military affairs to politics to the general trend of the world. Of course, it also involved some secrets, which were not enough for outsiders.
"came back!"
"Um!"
Ning Fan and Bai Qi followed one after the other. After a short pause, they strode into the thatched cottage.
"Second brother, master, brother is ready to set off."
"when are you leaving?"
Ning Fan smiled and said: "Now that Huainan is full of things, naturally I can't stay too long."
"After my brother goes north, I will go south immediately."
"oh!"
The little girl was a little disappointed and seemed a little reluctant to leave, but she never asked to leave with anyone, but stood quietly beside Bai Qi.
"gone!"
Ning Chen got on the carriage with the support of Ning Rulai and Ji Jiu. Ning Fan stepped forward and said: "Brother, remember, if the imperial doctor cannot make you recover, take the Great Return Pill."
"Um!"
Ning Chen nodded with a smile and said softly: "After this farewell, I'm afraid I won't see you again for a while. Girl, Mr. Bai has a great talent. Since you have become his disciple, you must study hard."
"yes!"
"gone!"
Ning Chen slowly lowered the window, Ning Rulai waved his riding whip gently, and the carriage slowly drove out of the village under the escort of Yan Yun's eighteen riders.
"Sir, little sister, it's time for me to leave."
"You take this talisman. With this talisman in hand, it will be more convenient when encountering certain things."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Bai Qi took over, while Ning Yao looked slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the second brother would actually take out the imperial order given to him by his father.
"Come on, Zhongkang, it's time for us to set off!"
"General Ji, see you at the temple."
"Farewell to Your Highness."
…
City of King Yu.
royal palace.
Royal study room.
Emperor Yu held a book in his hand, his brows furrowed, he pondered for a long time, and said softly: "Here comes someone!"
"exist!"
"It is said that Wei Zheng has come to pay an audience!"
"According to the order!"
After the eunuch left, Emperor Yu turned his head and looked at Wei Ying: "When Wei Zheng impeached King Qi Lin, he did not personally do anything about spring plowing, and even committed some fraud."
"What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, this old servant has limited experience and dare not talk nonsense."
"Just say what you are told, no excuses!"
"yes!"
Wei Ying's face stiffened, and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave thinks that potatoes and sweet potatoes are new crops after all. The common people have never seen them before, so naturally they don't dare to risk planting them."
"The old slave thinks that the imperial court should guide us."
"Or give it some tax benefits...
Even though he had to speak under the coercion of Emperor Yu, Wei Ying was still quite conservative, while Emperor Yu narrowed his eyes and asked calmly: "In your opinion, can King Qi Lin accomplish this? "
"Your Majesty, if you want to do something, you can always do it."
After hearing Wei Ying's answer, Emperor Yu's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Call back King Qi Lin and go in person."
"yes!"
After Wei Ying went down, Emperor Yu looked at the empty hall and said in a deep voice: "King Qi Lin, does he have any complaints about my sending Zhuge Liang to take charge of Qilin?"
"After King Qi Lin learned the news, he summoned his confidants to discuss the matter."
"I complained a few times and prepared to let Qilin's family make things difficult. After Master Zhuge goes down, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take power!"
"snort!"
Emperor Yu's face showed a touch of coldness, with a bit of anger: "I can understand if you have complaints, but if you dare to go against me, don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between father and son."
"Since I sent Zhuge Liang there, he should understand my intentions and determination!"
"If you can't even understand this, there is no need to stay in Beijing."
"But if you understand it and still do it..."
Emperor Yu did not continue. Jiannan looked stern and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that concerns King Yong!"
"Second child?"
"His Royal Highness King Huai led the Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yanyun, Dianwei, Xuchu and others to a small village in the south of the Yangtze River."
"oh?"
Emperor Yu's face showed a bit of surprise, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"The spark left behind by the King of Zhenxi's army is the captain of His Royal Highness the Guards Battalion. When he comes back, he will get married!"
"His Royal Highness King Yong led his people to watch the ceremony."
"Um!"
Emperor Yu's expression softened a lot and he said calmly: "Have you made a lot of noise in Huainan during this period?"
"yes……"
Jian Nan's face was full of shock. How did His Majesty know about this before he even had time to report it?
Could it be...
"Your Majesty, His Highness King Yong has gathered a group of bandits from Wumei Mountain and organized them into an army."
"After merging prefectures with counties, we will divide them into three counties, nine prefectures, and thirty-six counties!"
"A new government office was opened, two hospitals and three departments, as well as a commerce bureau and an engineering bureau."
"His Royal Highness also issued a recruitment order to build a recruitment hall, calling on people with lofty ideals, talents and virtues from all over the world to go south to participate in the administration of officials."
"The second son is ambitious, good at change, and full of courage. However, such a speed is beyond my expectation!" Emperor Yu had an undisguised admiration on his face, and then said: "A few days ago, Lingzhou County Keep the letter, the victims of disasters in Huainan are fleeing, has King Yong dealt with them?"
"Disposed of it!"
"oh?"
"tell me the story!"
Jian Nan nodded and said softly: "His Highness's subordinates, Guo Jia and Chen Gong, are responsible for disaster relief. One is to use work for relief, gathering the victims for construction, and the other is to reclaim wasteland and sow seeds..."
After Emperor Yu learned about Huainan's disaster relief policy, the smile on his face became even bigger and he nodded frequently: "Yes, they are all new methods and worth promoting."
"Your Majesty, please ask for an audience from King Qi Lin and Wei."
"Inform Wei Zheng first!"
"promise!"
After the decree was passed down, Wei Zheng straightened his clothes with a solemn expression and walked into the hall.
"Wei Zheng, a humble minister, comes to see Your Majesty."
"No gift!"
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching His Royal Highness King Qi Lin for falsifying data, nepotism, and defiance."
Hearing that Wei Zheng came up to impeach King Qi Lin, Emperor Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips and said softly: "Since you are impeaching King Qi Lin, do you have evidence?"
"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty issued the order for spring plowing, His Highness King Qilin has falsely reported the number of acres cultivated, appointed cronies, excluded dissidents, deceived and lied to his superiors, and failed to pay attention to his subordinates."
"As soon as the evidence is provided, I have already written a memorial!"
"Send it up!"
After Emperor Yu looked at the document handed over by Wei Zheng, his expression became playful: "Wei Zheng, every move of King Qi Lin is under your nose. It seems that you are very concerned about him?"
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. If there is any deception, I am willing to accept the blame."
"As for the power of supervision, it is granted by His Majesty, and I will act according to the orders."
“Well done!”
Emperor Yu smiled and looked at Wei Ying aside: "Let King Qi Lin come up!"
"yes!"
"Xuan, Qilin has an audience with the king!"
