Jiangshan Ji

Presumably the Yun'er that Yu Wenxuan was talking about at this time was Yun Zhaoxun's nickname.

Before Yu Wen could answer, I saw Empress Chen frowned and said "tsk": "The Crown Princess has served the Crown Prince for many years, but she has not given birth to a son and a half daughter. The Crown Prince should spend more time with the Crown Princess. The rain and dew should be shared equally, and one person should not be favored exclusively, otherwise, what would be the embarrassment of the Crown Princess? As for Yun Zhaoxun, he was hated by others because he was the only favored by the Crown Prince. gone."

Yu Wenxuan looked at Empress Chen's unkind expression, and didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly replied: "I know my mistake, and I will definitely obey my mother's teachings from now on!"

Yu Wenjian's face darkened slightly, as if he wanted to change the topic, and asked Yu Wenchang who was beside me: "How is the situation in Bingzhou?"

Yu Wenchang was shocked when he heard the words, and replied: "In the past few days, there have been reports that the bandits have harassed the people, and the people of Bingzhou have suffered terribly. My son and minister have left Bingzhou for many days. Today I am planning to resign with my father and queen. I hope Leave the palace and return to Bingzhou as soon as possible to drive out the bandits and stabilize the hearts of the people."

"Well, good." Yu Wenjian nodded slightly, and took a sip of tea, "It's better to go back as soon as possible, after all, Bingzhou is under your jurisdiction, and if something happens, your face will not look good."

Does this imply that our husband and wife leave Daxing Palace as soon as possible?

It doesn't matter if you leave, this suffocating place like a cage, don't wait!

Empress Chen frowned, and asked, "How many days does it take to travel from Yecheng to Bingzhou?"

Yu Wenchang said respectfully: "If you take the official route, it will take [-] days at least and [-] days at most; if you take the water route, the slowest is ten days."

I have always known that the waterway is faster than the official road, but I never thought that the same schedule, the waterway can be three or four times faster.

If the waterways in all parts of the country are unblocked, it will be much more convenient for the common people to travel, right?

Speaking of this, Yu Wenjian suddenly looked at Yu Wenchang squarely, "Yong'er, do you think it is the convenience of the official road or the convenience of the water?"

Yu Wenchang replied: "Although the official roads can be reached at will, there are transportation difficulties everywhere in the mountains and valleys except for the flat land; and the voyage of a reed, as long as the water power is competent, can follow the waterway to reach the coast. And in terms of transportation volume, there is a huge gap between vehicles and ships, and there is also a huge difference in force. Comparing the two, waterway transportation naturally has the greatest advantage."

Seeing Yu Wenjian nodding frequently, Yu Wenchang stood up again, and said to Yu Wenjian: "The more important thing is that dredging the waterways across the country will not only help the troops to go south in the future, but also help the development of coastal business travel. Determined to build water conservancy, thousands of years later, it will surely be famous in history because of this pioneering work."

Throughout the ages, there is no precedent for a monarch who is famous for building water conservancy.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the vassal states attacked and merged with each other, the wars continued, and military transportation was very frequent.

Fu Chai, king of Wu, wanted to attack Qi in the north and fight for hegemony in the Central Plains. At that time, there was no waterway between the Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, and the only way was to go from the river to the sea. This way of traveling would not only have a long voyage, but also the sea would be very windy and rough, making it easy to lose fighters.

For the safety and convenience of marching, Fu Chai built the city of Han on top of Shugang, dug Hangou at the foot of Shugang, and opened the waterway between the Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers.

After the excavation, the people along the coast were not only grateful for Fucha's behavior of benefiting the people, but also sang and sung to sing and sing. Fucha himself led the army along Hangou north to Huai River, entered Si River, entered Ji River, went west to Huangchi, and competed with Qi and Jin for the position of leader. It's really a multi-tasking strategy.

Xu Yuwenjian was moved by the words "name and history", and his expression seemed to agree with Yu Wenchang, "The Han people dug a canal, and the Wei River was drawn into the canal from Yecheng, along the foot of the Nanshan Mountain, all the way to the Yellow River. It has brought great convenience to water transportation. I intend to use the canals left by the Han people to open the Fumin Canal, which is south of the Weishui River, next to the Nanshan Mountain and east, and connects to the Yellow River at Tongguan. What do you think?"

Without waiting for Yu Wenchang to answer again, Yu Wenxuan, who had been sitting on the side for a long time, suddenly got up and said to Yu Wenjian: "Father, although the opening of the canals is beneficial to the people, but the Min Kingdom has only been established for a few years, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. It is estimated that the manpower needed to reopen the canal is no less than one million, not to mention the material and financial resources, how can the common people afford it?"

Originally, I didn't really believe that Yu Wenxuan was really as generous and gentle as the rumors outside, but after hearing what he said today, he was always sympathetic to the people and caring for the people, and I kind of believed that those words were not groundless.

Originally, Yu Wenjian was very interested in talking with Yu Wenchang about the construction of water conservancy projects, but after Yu Wenxuan interrupted him, Yu Wenjian became less interested. When he talked about this topic again, he was obviously not as active as before. Seeing that Yu Wenchang was always frowning Without saying a word, Empress Chen changed the subject in a timely manner, and we talked about other unimportant things. After agreeing on the schedule for leaving Beijing, we quickly found an excuse to return to the palace.

I know that Yu Wenchang has run into trouble with his father and elder brother today, and he will definitely not be in a good mood. When I got in the car, I snuggled into his arms and persuaded in a low voice: "What the father and the prince said today, Ayong Mo Be annoyed, and find the right time to discuss it with the emperor in detail. Judging by the appearance of the emperor today, he is not completely uninterested in the construction of water conservancy."

In fact, my opinion on the construction of water conservancy coincides with Yu Wenxuan's. After all, water transportation is a symbol of autocracy and centralization. A lot of manpower, material and financial resources were used, and the people suffered unspeakably.

However, just now in Hanyuan Hall, Yu Wenchang was already displeased by this matter, so I can't argue with him anymore, so I can only persuade him in this way temporarily to make him feel at ease.

He smiled, the corners of his lips curled into a beautiful arc, and two deep dimples appeared on both cheeks, "Huaijin is right, the future will be long, even if the emperor doesn't want to order the construction of water conservancy today, in the future I will go If you are on the throne, you will definitely carry out this matter yourself."

On the throne?

I was taken aback, but didn't dare to show it on my face.

Shengshang Yuwenjian ascended the throne for only a few years, and he has always been in good health, free from illness and pain, even if he died soon, the heir to the throne should also be Prince Yuwenxuan, and it will never be the turn of the eldest son King Jin, how could Yu Wenchang ever ascend the throne?

Does this mean - usurping the throne!

This thought flashed through my mind, and I sat upright again on the side table, recalling something that Qing He once told me.

When Prince Yu Wenxuan tied his hair, Yu Wenjian once asked the most famous fortune teller in the state of Min to do divination for Yu Wenxuan. After the fortune telling, the fortune teller trembled and did not dare to explain the divination, which made Yu Wenjian very angry. He said that the Xiangshi dared to conceal something, so he beheaded him on the spot.

The fortune-teller shivered with fright, fell down on the ground, and tremblingly replied eight words: from the top to the bottom, brother to the wall.

At that time, Empress Chen gave birth to a total of five sons. Except for the prince Yu Wenxuan, the other four sons were Jin Wang Yuwenchang, Qin Wang Yuwenjun, Shu Wang Yuwenxiu, and Han Wang Yuwenliang. The brothers Yanqiang must be related to these people.

Yu Wenjian was furious, and asked the fortune-teller to divination for the other four sons one by one. Like the prince Yu Wenxuan, the hexagrams of Qin Wang Yuwenjun, Shu Wang Yuwenxiu, and Han Wang Yuwenliang all read "Li Shang Dui Xia, brothers fighting against the wall." ", there is only one person, and the hexagram is completely different from the rest of the brothers.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, my palms were stained with sweat, and I silently repeated what Qinghe told me that day: "It is said that the hexagram that that fortune teller gave His Royal Highness King Jin soared into the sky, and it was so expensive... ..."

Soaring into the sky, it is too expensive.

These eight words linger in my mind and can't get rid of them for a long time.

As the saying goes, the dragon soars to the nine heavens, and the words "fly to the sky", do they point to the fate of the real dragon emperor?

Suddenly, I remembered the eight words that Fang He gave me back then: Beauty is a disaster, the country is destroyed and the palace is ruined.

The fortunes of my husband and I are quite different, which is really ironic.

However, looking at it now, my husband may have to pay a very high price if he wants to be the one sitting on the Dragon Throne.

I remember clearly the fate of the fortune teller that Qinghe mentioned.

At that time, Yu Wenjian was furious and believed that the fortune teller was talking nonsense. In a fit of anger, he ordered the fortune teller to pull out his tongue, peel his skin and convulse, expose him to the scorching sun for dozens of days, and finally discarded it in the wilderness. Dogs gnawed at his body.

Today, Yu Wenchang generously expressed his longing for the throne in front of me, obviously he was not guarded against me. Thinking of this, I can't help but have mixed feelings in my heart.

If in the near future, my husband really wants to usurp the throne, how should I, the concubine of the Jin Dynasty, deal with myself?

If the uprising is successful and Yu Wenchang gets his wish, I will be a queen empress under one person and above ten thousand; if it is another result, what will happen to me and my husband?

Will the ruthless Yu Wenjian let go of his own son who is unwilling to submit to others?

It is said that the most ruthless emperor's family, for such a cold throne, how many fathers and sons and brothers killed each other, I am afraid that Yu Wenjian will kill his own flesh and blood without hesitation just like killing that fortune teller!

Not daring to think about it anymore, the chill spread down the back and spread to the whole body, Yu Wenchang noticed my strangeness, and asked softly: "Huaijin, is it cold?"

I shook my head subconsciously. Although I didn't say anything all the way, I have decided in my heart that no matter what kind of fate my husband will suffer from now on, as his wife, I am willing to live and die with him.
