Dahan first prince

Chapter 110 Chen Xi made himself king
"This trip to the old man is not an escape from famine."

Hearing Zhang Bingji's soft words, Liu Ying finally recovered from her heavy heart.

Seeing Zhang Bingji's words froze, he adjusted his emotions and managed to squeeze out a little smile.

"Life is bitter, but His Majesty cares about it, and you can still endure it."

"It is rumored that Zheng Guoqu is the first to bear the brunt of His Majesty's order to repair the water conservancy in Guanzhong!"

"If this is the case, by the autumn of next year, there will be hundreds of thousands of households in Weibei, or there will be no need for water to irrigate the bitter crops, and the grain will be long but not abundant?"

Hearing the almost undisguised temptation in Zhang Bingji's words, Liu Ying lowered her face slightly, and couldn't help but bow her hands solemnly.

"Old man, but don't worry!"

"When the spring begins next year, the water from the Zhengguo Canal will flow through Zhangjiazhai without interruption!"

"My boy doesn't know much about farming, so I dare not tell you how old it is. The people in Weibei will have plenty of food. However, there must be no shortage of water to irrigate the fields!"

Hearing that Liu Ying's voice was full of determination, even with a hint of promise, Zhang Bing finally felt at ease, and nodded with relief.

"If this is the case, in the future, hundreds of thousands of households in Guanzhong will definitely remember the prince's kindness in their hearts."

With a heartfelt praise, Zhang Bingji lowered his head with a chuckle, and finally brought the topic back on track.

"A few days ago, the old man heard that the prince wanted to build the Zhengguo Canal, but there was a shortage of physical labor."

"I also heard that in order to build the Zhengguo Canal, the Prince spared no effort to send all the stone bricks in the Shaofu to build Chang'an for the Zhengguo Canal?"

Seeing Liu Ying still nodding her head with a little frustration, Zhang Bingji gave another chuckle.

"The dredging and blocking of the Zhengguo Canal is related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of households in Weibei on both sides of the strait."

"Since His Majesty ordered the Crown Prince to renovate, the old man and other people in Weibei should do their best to help the Crown Prince."

As he said that, Zhang Bing couldn't help poking his head out of the car window, and looked at the elderly and weak people in the village behind the carriage with a little complacency.

"There were more than three hundred young and strong in Zhangjiazhai, but when His Majesty went out to fight, most of the young and strong in Zhangjiazhai were recruited by His Majesty as soldiers and civilian husbands."

"Later, the old man heard that there was a lack of labor to repair the Zhengguo Canal, so he also sent dozens of strong men from the village to repair the canal."

"This time, the old man wants to go with the old and the young in the village."

"First, the old man wants to witness the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal, and the warmth, hunger and fullness of the men and women in the village, so that he can feel a little more at ease."

"Second..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Bingji quietly stopped talking, and looked at Liu Ying with a little scrutiny.

"Secondly, it is to send food..."

Hearing Zhang Bingji's words, Liu Ying's already heavy heart suddenly became mixed.

She raised her head with a complex complexion, and looked at Zhang Bingji's probing eyes. Liu Ying couldn't care less about thinking. She just stopped and bowed deeply to Zhang Bingji in the car.

"There are only more than two hundred households in Zhangjiazhai, and hundreds of them have worked hard for the emperor's father and the boy to build the canal!"

"Today, the old man even brought rice from the village and transported it to provide food for the people who built the canal..."

"Boy, thank you very much!!!"

As she spoke, Liu Ying's tone was choked with sobs.

When Liu Ying straightened up, Zhang Bing saw that Liu Ying's face was covered with tears.

Seeing Liu Ying shaking her lips stubbornly, and raising her hand to wipe her face without flinching, she nodded with a resolute face.

"Don't worry, old man!"

"If the renovation work of Zheng Guoqu is not completed for a day, the boy will not return to Chang'an for a day!"

"It's Zheng Guo's canals, and the water in the Weibei farmland is sufficient. After the boy returns to Chang'an, he should also report to his father to suppress the evil grain merchants in Guanzhong, so as to make the Han Dynasty the foundation of the country!"

After solemnly making a promise, Liu Ying turned around firmly and raised her head slightly.

"Ming dysprosium!"

"Call the sons and daughters of the Southern Army to come over and help the folks carry their bags!"

"Accelerate forward, make sure to reach the lotus spoon before tomorrow's sunset!"

Seeing Liu Ying full of vigor and heroic giving orders, Zhang Bingji only nodded secretly.

As for what Liu Ying said about "suppressing grain merchants in Guanzhong", Zhang Bing pretended not to hear it, and only hoped that in the spring of next year, there would be enough water to irrigate the acres of his family's fields.

But next year, Zhang Bingji will find out: what a prince who keeps his word and does what he does means to Liu Han Sheji and all the people in this world.

In Guanzhong, especially in the vicinity of Chang'an, the wealthy grain merchants who are engaged in grain and rice sales will also realize at that time: in the world of Liu Han, at the foot of the Chang'an imperial city, it is a dangerous occupation to do grain business ······
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Just a few days after Liu Ying left Chang'an, Guanzhong finally received the news that everyone had expected.

——Chen Xi, the acting prime minister, made himself the acting king and raised the flag to rebel against the Han!
As soon as the news spread, the entire Kanto was buzzing and filled with an extremely tense atmosphere of war!

Guanzhong was a bit better. Although there were many rumors circulating in the streets and alleys, generally speaking, the public opinion was not too surprised by Chen Xi's expected rebellion.

In addition, after the autumn, first the emperor Liu Bang led the army to go out and took away most of the young and strong laborers in Guanzhong. Near Chang'an, it became a little desolate.

It was in this desolate and extremely comfortable atmosphere that the phoenix chariot of Empress Lu Zhi quietly stopped in front of the mansion of Xiao He, the current prime minister.

Respectfully invited Lu Zhi to the first place, Xiao He walked to the teacher with a faint smile on his face, and knelt down on his own.

On the other hand, Lu Zhi, who was sitting upright, had a faint look on his face.

After such a moment of silence, Jiang Xiao He didn't intend to speak on his own initiative, and Lu Zhi could not help but smile slightly, and immediately looked at Xiao He meaningfully.

"Yesterday, Hangu sent back the military report. Marquis Feng knew what was said in the military report?"

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, the smile on Xiao He's face froze in response.

Military newspaper?

Now, when most of Chang'an's court ministers are away, there is a military report bypassing Prime Minister Xiao He and directly delivered to Empress Lu Zhi?
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao He also recalled: the "military report" in Lu Zhi's mouth probably did not refer to the military report sent back to Chang'an through normal channels.

Wanting to understand this point, Xiao He adjusted his face slightly, put on that warm and elegant smile again, and shook his head slightly.

However, Lu Zhi sighed with a little feeling, and immediately muttered to himself: "It is said that Peng Yue, the king of Liang, complained of illness and refused to answer His Majesty's call..."

"Um······"

"I'm afraid that in the next year, when Chen Xi's chaos is brought to an end, Liang Wang Peng Yue, or should he also commit crimes for His Majesty?"

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Xiao He finally felt a little heavy.

Especially when Lu Zhi bit down on the word 'Yidang' with emphasis, Xiao He couldn't maintain that elegant smile, and his complexion sank.

Seeing Xiao He's appearance, Lu Zhi only shook his head with a wry smile, and there was a little self-deprecating look in Xiao He's eyes.

"Ah~"

"In just a few short years, Xiao He, the loyal and straightforward Marquis of the past, has turned into the person he is now, who hides his heart's words and never speaks them to me?"

"In the future, as soon as the palace chariot arrives, the prince..."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi quietly stopped talking, just smiled wryly and shook his head repeatedly.

Hearing Lu Pheasant's 'threat' which was barely concealed, Xiao He's mood was changed, but he finally smiled helplessly.

"The empress is here, if she has something to say, she should say it bluntly."

"The minister's age is nearly ancient, and he can't even speak perfectly. After waiting for His Majesty for a hundred years, the grass outside the minister's grave may be as high as ten feet..."

Saying that, Xiao He did not forget to open his mouth a little, revealing four or five missing teeth, his expression was full of calmness towards life, old age, sickness and death.

Seeing Xiao He's behavior, Lu Zhi's smile faltered, and a little shame also appeared on his face.

Only a moment later, that sense of shame was replaced by an inexplicable sense of solemnity and a sense of mission!

"Since that's the case, I won't probe too much."

"—Marquis Feng thinks, if the Marquis of Huaiyin dies in Chang'an, what will he think when His Majesty returns to court?"

As he said that, Lu Zhi did not forget to squint the corners of his eyes a little, and fixed his eyes on Xiao He's face: "I heard that a few days ago, the Marquis Jiang returned to Chang'an, and delivered it to Marquis Jiang by His Majesty's secret order?"

"What is Marquis Feng's opinion on this matter?"

Hearing that Lu Zhi mentioned Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, Xiao He's heart tightened at first!
What do you think when Lu Zhi said the following sentence, "Zhou Bo returned to Chang'an and sent you His Majesty's secret order?" ', Xiao He's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Raising his head slightly, he saw a meaningful smile on Lu Zhi's face, and nodded slightly to himself, Xiao He thought about it in every possible way, but finally lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but quietly got up from the seat above him, put his hands behind his back, walked up to Xiao He, and looked down at Xiao He's face full of embarrassment and entanglement.

"Marquis Feng dare not speak, so I will try."

"Your Majesty first used this matter to 'mistakenly' make Ruyin Marquis Xia Houying listen to it, and Qu Zhou Marquis Li Shang hear it."

"In this way, Marquis Qu Zhou remembers the old blood feud, so he must use the idea of ​​'the whole family supports the prince' as a pretext, and begs me to kill Huaiyin quickly."

"Wait for your Majesty's class teacher to return to Chang'an, the Duke of Chaozhong, and the Marquis of Huaiyin, and he will be killed by me."

"At that time, His Majesty will be furious and depose my successor in the name of 'killing Zhongliang without authorization'."

"My heir is not guaranteed, and my son's throne should also be replaced by King Zhao; in this way, it is logical that His Majesty is thinking about Yi Chu!"

Saying this in a tone that seemed to be deduced but extremely determined, Lu Zhi lowered his head and smiled at Xiao He who was still kneeling on the banquet with a tangled expression on his face.

"Marquis Feng thinks that Qi Ji's foolish woman and Zhao Wang's Nanu gave birth to a child, so she might sit firmly in Liu Han Sheji?"

As he said that, Lu Zhi couldn't help but slightly bent down, looking at Xiao He's eyes, there was some faint insight.

"If I'm not mistaken, the secret order that His Majesty envoy Jianghou forwarded, what he said should be..."

"—After killing Huaiyin, the prince will help him; and Xianggong Xiao He, will he be hindered?"

　Saury······

　　There was something wrong with my body, I went to hang some water in the morning, and fell asleep when I came back too sleepy.

　　Today is normal five shifts, what was owed yesterday will be paid back in the next two days~
