Dahan first prince

Chapter 105 Let's go, let's go......
Standing on the top of the long steps outside the Xuanshi Hall, looking into the distance, the figure of his son Liu Ying and his elder brother Lu Shizhi walking shoulder to shoulder, Lu Zhi's face suddenly filled with a warmth full of happiness smile.

"OK······"

"what······"

When Liu Ying and Lu Shizhi climbed up the steps and came to the front, Lu Zhi smiled and nodded again and again, stepped forward to hold the arms of the two, and stepped into the high threshold of Xuanshi Hall.

After taking their seats in the hall, Lu Zhi raised his head with a warm smile and looked at his elder brother Lu Shizhi.

"In the past ten months, the children of the Lu family have all closed their doors, but it is hard for brother..."

Hearing this, Lu Shizhi also smiled gently and waved his hands slightly.

"The Queen's words are serious."

"This is all for the family and the queen, and it is the duty of my Lu family."

"The queen's words, the minister feels that he is born a little bit?"

Seeing Lu Shizhi's slightly teasing words, Lu Zhi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and nodded gratefully to Lu Shizhi.

Then, he turned Lu Zhi's head to the side, and when he looked at Liu Ying, there was a touch of endless love on his face.

"Since it's Ying'er's intention, why don't you tell Yu Jiancheng in person?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying nodded with a smile, stood up and bowed to Lu Shizhi slightly.

"This time, my father ordered my nephew to major in Zheng Guoqu, but my nephew is young, so I fear being deceived by officials and officials."

"So I want to invite my uncle to go with my nephew to supervise the renovation of Zheng Guoqu."

"I don't know what uncle wants?"

Rao knew about this matter for a long time, seeing Liu Ying's solemn posture, Lu Shizhi couldn't help getting up from his seat, and bowed solemnly in return.

When he straightened up, Lu Shizhi's face was filled with a smile that was almost etched into his cheeks.

"The family has a lot of trust, and I dare not refuse."

As he spoke, Lu Shizhi smiled lightly and turned his head to the side, paying respects to Lu Zhi.

"If the queen agrees, I will take orders..."

Seeing the extremely harmonious interaction between uncle and nephew, Lu Zhi's face became more joyful.

"Since that's the case, I will trouble my brother to leave Chang'an with the prince tomorrow to supervise the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal."

Hearing Lu Zhiman's gentle instructions, Lu Shizhi also smiled warmly and cupped his hands.

"Sir, take orders..."

When Lu Shizhi and Liu Ying sat down again, Lu Zhi looked at Liu Ying again, and there was a little teasing in his gaze.

"How about the transshipment of Shaofu stone bricks?"

"I've heard that in just a few days, the stone bricks in the Shaofu will only be tens of thousands, and the hundreds of miles of straight roads in the north of Weibei will be crushed by the stone bricks?"

Listening to the teasing in the old lady's tone, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile, pretending to be embarrassed, and gave Lv Zhi a little hug.

"Nairer didn't think carefully about this matter, so she made a mistake."

"Er Yishu invites Prime Minister Xiao to send the guards of the Northern Army and the generals of Zhonglang to repair the straight way."

As she said that, Liu Ying did not forget to make an exaggerated expression of contemplation, and then said: "After thirty days, the straight road in Weibei will be restored to its original state..."

Hearing Liu Ying's perverse behavior, Lu Zhi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled helplessly, looking at Liu Ying with a hint of approval.

Spend 30 days to repair those straight sections of roads in Weibei that were crushed by stone bricks?

If two or three hundred people are used to repair it, it will indeed take 30 days.

But the question is: if you really want more than a hundred people, is it necessary for Liu Ying to ask Xiao He to send soldiers and generals of the Northern Army?
——A mere 100 people, if you gather all the strong men from the families of Lu's relatives, there will be more than one!
Since the soldiers of the Northern Army and General Zhonglang's subordinate Zhonglang were dispatched, the number of people used to repair the roads would be at least thousands, or even thousands!
Use these thousands of strong and disciplined elite troops to repair several sections of straight roads that total hundreds of miles and have been maintained once before...
Regarding Liu Ying's '30 days' construction period, Lu Zhi can only say: I can really ink!
But even so, Lu Zhi didn't think there was any problem at all.

——The stone bricks used by the Shaofu to build Chang'an were sent to the banks of the Zhengguo Canal in order. It was originally a reality show for the people of Guanzhong!

Since it's a reality show, it's better to let more people see and know about it.

As for Liu Ying's side story about "the stone bricks crushed the straight road, the prince sent the northern army to ground their feet to repair it", Lu Zhi was even more surprised.

——The stone brick aisle, the common people may not see it, or pretend not to see it.

But Qin Zhidao, which is related to people's livelihood and is almost the only means of transportation in various places, was crushed by stone bricks?
In order to repair these crushed straight roads, the prince sent elite soldiers from the Northern Army to repair them?
This time, it will be very difficult for the common people to still want to know.

Thinking secretly, Lu Zhi couldn't help but looked at Liu Ying with relief on his face, and nodded with a slight wink, which seemed to be his approval of Liu Ying's actions.

"What's the matter with the dead head of the canal?"

Seeing my old lady asking about something serious, Liu Ying couldn't help but straighten her face.

"Yesterday, the Shaofu sent back a letter saying that the water at the junction of Jingshui and Zhengguo Canal has sunk and stopped. In a few days, the water in Zhengguo Canal will be dry."

As she spoke, Liu Ying did not forget to turn her head to look at Lu Shizhi, and then looked up at Lu Zhi again.

"When Ertong is completed and Houzhi arrives, the renovation of Zhengguo Canal will start immediately!"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Zhi couldn't help but nodded slightly, and did not forget to tell Liu Ying: "Every case that is renovated should be based on the intention of the Shaofu."

"Even if there is a clever strategy, we should discuss it with the Shaofu first, and we must not make our own decisions."

After Liu Ying nodded obediently, Lu Zhi turned his head to look at Lu Shizhi again.

"This is going to Zheng Guoqu. The prince will go with his elder brother. Elder brother should bring more soldiers."

"I have also issued a warrant to dispatch five hundred elite soldiers from the southern army to secretly follow the prince's chariot as guards."

"This line······"

"There must be no mistakes!"

Seeing his younger sister Lu Zhi narrowing the corners of her eyes and looking at him with meaning, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but look serious, and immediately bowed his hands solemnly.

"I know, don't worry about the queen."

Everything was arranged properly, Lu Zhi nodded his head in the end, and then sighed a little, calling for Liu Ying to come forward.

When Liu Ying sat down by her side, worry quietly appeared on Lu Zhi's face.

"This time, His Majesty ordered the construction of the Zhengguo Canal to make my son make mistakes in his errands, so that his position will be shaken."

"Ying'er must not take it lightly, and talk to others."

"My son must remember: Your Majesty, my son is not alone..."

Hearing this, Liu Ying raised her head in a little surprise, and finally nodded solemnly when she saw the deep meaning in Lu Zhi's eyes.

"Mother, don't worry."

"This trip, my son, must fulfill my father's entrustment, so as to thwart Xiaoxiao's conspiracy!"

Seeing Liu Ying's serious response, Lu Zhi finally heaved a sigh of relief, looked away from Liu Ying with some reluctance, and stood up from the couch.

"In this way, Ying'er will return to the Crown Prince's uterus, let's pack up..."

"When going out, remember to write more letters to return to the palace, so as not to worry about me..."

Seeing the old lady getting up from the couch with a complicated complexion, and making a gesture of going back to the bedroom, Liu Ying felt a sense of sadness welling up in her heart.

This kind of slightly bitter feeling that can't be explained in words is obviously so strange, but it makes Liu Ying feel familiar.

"Mother..."

A slightly desolate whisper finally caused Lu Zhi to turn his back to Liu Ying, and his body, which was about to leave, froze for a while, and there were drops of moisture in his eye sockets.

He waved his hands without turning his head, and wiped away the water from the corners of his eyes with the effort of retracting his hands, Lu Zhi turned his head slightly.

"Let's go."

After saying that, Lu Zhi was about to leave, but stopped as if remembering something.

"Yes······"

"One more thing."

Said with melancholy, Lu Zhi finally turned around, and pointed the slightly red eyes in the direction of Liu Ying.

"In the past few days, tens of thousands of Weibei people have come to work for the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal."

"The people sacrifice loyalty and goodness, my son can't go away empty-handed."

Saying that, Lu Zhi couldn't help but slightly nodded towards Lu Shizhi.

"Lihou Lutai has more than [-] households in Xinfeng City, and rents rice and grain every year for tens of thousands of shi."

"A few days ago, I ordered Hou Jiancheng to go to Xinfeng to fully adjust the taxation of Marquis Li's income this year, and even to Chang'an."

"Tomorrow, Ying'er will carry this grain of rice with tens of thousands of stones to the Zhengguo Canal; when it arrives, he will distribute this grain of rice to the people who go to build the canal in order."

"In this way, my son will not be stigmatized as 'excessive labor'..."

Saying these words earnestly, Lu Zhi felt his eye sockets warm again, so he hurriedly turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes carefully.

"go Go······"

"I'm tired..."

Listening to Lu Zhi's thoughtful arrangements for herself and eliminating all hidden dangers in her infancy, Liu Ying felt warm in her heart.

When she raised her head and saw Lu Zhi's back facing her with her hand on the edge of the couch, wiping her tears secretly, Liu Ying finally remembered why this feeling made her feel familiar.

Liu Ying remembered that in her first life, after the exam, when she got on the green leather train to the metropolis, her mother outside the window turned her back to her like this...
Boom! ! !
A muffled sound came from behind, but it caused Lu Zhi's face to suddenly tighten, and the tear that was finally suppressed back into his eyes finally fell in response.

"Mother!"

Seeing Liu Ying who was kneeling on the ground behind Lu Zhi, tears were already all over her face.

"The mother is here and travels far away, and the mother is only worried..."

"Son, unfilial..."

Sobbing and screaming, Liu Ying leaned forward full of guilt, and slammed her forehead heavily on the old wooden floor in front of her.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom...

Three consecutive muffled sounds came from behind, Lu Zhi could no longer restrain the grief in his heart, tears gushed out of his eyes like spring water.

Covering his mouth with his hands, and suppressing the sobs, Lu Zhi finally gritted his teeth, blinked vigorously a few times, and walked towards the back of the hall cruelly before his sight was blocked by the dense fog again.

And behind Lu Zhi, in the huge Xuanshi hall, only Liu Ying kowtowed on the ground, weeping in a low voice...
