Dahan first prince

Chapter 60 The Prince's Change

As Liu Bang's son of heaven drifted away, the crowd gathered in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City also slowly dispersed.

——The autumn harvest has just ended, and the agricultural tax and oral tax of the people in Chang'an have been paid. The next top priority is to find a good buyer and sell this year's harvest for as much money as possible.

And around the temporary general's platform adjacent to the east palace wall of Changle Palace, whether it is the queen Lu Zhi, the prince Liu Ying, or the prime minister Xiao He who stayed in Chang'an, Shaofu Yang Chengyan and others, there is not much joy on their faces. .

It's not that I'm worried about what will happen to the Emperor Liu Bang's personal conquest this time.

But before Liu Bang left, he left an extremely difficult task to the prince Liu Ying who had just been able to supervise the country for only seven days.

"Renovate the water conservancy?"

"This······"

"But what should I do?"

Looking at Lu Zhi's vaguely uncontrollable expression, and Liu Ying's unrecognizable expression of joy and anger, the courtiers and officials gathered around the general platform all looked at each other and complained in their hearts.

Soon, everyone around slowly focused their complicated eyes on Liu Ying, the theoretical leader of the court in Chang'an - the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom.

Liu Ying was silent for a moment, and then under the eyes of everyone, she waved her hands in the direction of the emperor Liu Bang.

When she stood up straight, Liu Ying's complexion suddenly took on an inexplicable solemnity.

"The traitor Chen Xi caused chaos in Dai Zhao, and the emperor gave him the punishment of heaven. He personally led our heroes to fight against him. It's great!"

Hearing this, even though the ministers were suspicious, they couldn't help turning around, imitating Liu Ying's appearance, and bowed their hands heavily towards the direction in which the emperor was leaving.

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, fierce and brave, the great fortune of this minister, the great fortune of the world..."

A salute without any pretense, and when all the officials turned around, Liu Ying trotted towards the general's platform, came to the side of Queen Lv Zhi, and only bowed her hands.

Then, Liu Ying turned around and faced the officials and courtiers again.

"This time, the emperor's father and emperor have personally marched outside, and they have been trusted by the emperor alone, entrusting him with the great power of supervising the country."

"However, the lonely year is still weak, and Yu Chao's political affairs are ignorant..."

As she spoke, Liu Ying smiled lightly and bowed her hands alone.

"From now on, until my father's class teacher returns to the court, I should still rely on the court officials for the affairs of the court!"

Seeing Liu Ying's attitude, all the ministers couldn't help but hurriedly returned the salute: "The family speaks seriously, and speaks seriously..."

"It's the duty of all ministers, how dare the head of the family praise it as 'relying on'?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying smiled and cupped her hands again before looking at Prime Minister Xiao He who was the closest to Jiangtai.

"Father is away on an expedition, and the food and supplies needed by the army will be raised by Xiao Xiang."

"Everything needed by the soldiers on the expedition, Xiang Xiang can take care of himself, so there is no need to ask Yu Gu."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, the faces of all the ministers couldn't help but change slightly.

"There is no need to ask about this..."

"Doesn't that mean that apart from this matter, you should ask the prince for instructions in person?"

Thinking in their hearts, all the ministers couldn't help but secretly glanced at Prime Minister Xiao He, and then quietly lowered their heads.

Xiao He just bowed his hands to Liu Ying indifferently, expressing his acceptance.

Liu Ying smiled with satisfaction and raised her head slightly: "And the water conservancy renovation in Guanzhong..."

As she said that, Liu Ying did not forget to turn her body slightly, and looked at Lu Zhi with a face asking for instructions. After Lu Zhi nodded with some doubts, she turned back to look at the ministers.

"I was born alone in a deep palace, and I have almost no understanding of major events in the court."

"However, even so, Gu also knows: Farmers are the foundation of the country; water conservancy is the foundation of agriculture; everything related to water conservancy is a major issue for the country!"

"It's not a day's work to just renovate and protect."

After speaking, Liu Ying looked at Xiao He again, and Yang Chengyan, the young mansion behind Xiao He.

"After noon, please invite Xiao Xiang and Yang Shao's mansion to Weiyang Palace to discuss with the queen mother and orphan in detail about water conservancy maintenance in Guanzhong."

"Three days later, Prime Minister Xiao will hold a court meeting in Changxin Hall, and all officials will discuss this matter together."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying glanced at the courtiers and officials with a gentle face, and bowed her hands humbly.

"Except Prime Minister Xiao and Shaofu, if the rest of the princes have a good plan for water conservancy renovation, they can also write memorials within three days."

"As for the memorial policy, you can send it to Weiyang in person for your mother to read; you can pass it to the prime minister's mansion and have it read by Prime Minister Xiao; you can also play it in person at the court meeting three days later, and then discuss it with all the officials."

Seeing that Liu Ying made the arrangements step by step, the courtiers and officials couldn't help but worship together even though they had doubts.

"Minister, take orders..."

Seeing Liu Ying smiled again, turned around, supported Lu Zhi's arm, and walked towards the wooden steps on the side of the platform.

Seeing this, the officials bowed again: "Respectfully send off the queen, and respectfully send home...

·
Watching Liu Ying and Lu Zhi get on the phoenix chariot, the rest of the ministers stopped for a while, and then walked towards Shangguanli between Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace in groups.

It’s not about returning home from get off work, but at this time, most of the Jiuqing’s yamen except Shaofu are located on Zhangtai Street between Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, not far from Shangguanli. far away.

As for why the ministers did not take the car, but walked to their respective offices on foot, I naturally have something to say, and I need to communicate with my friends and friends in the court.

"Master."

Not surprisingly, the person who appeared next to Xiao He was one of the only two Nine Ministers in Chang'an City at this time: Shaofu Minister and Yang Chengyan.

Hearing the call, Xiao He turned his body slightly politely, and when Yang Chengyan came to his side, the two of them walked forward slowly at almost the same speed.

Seeing Yang Chengyan nodding his head thoughtfully, he looked sideways at Xiao He beside him.

"Have you ever realized, Mr. Xiang, that the house today is quite different from the house in the past?"

Hearing Yang Cheng asked this question, Xiao He couldn't help but stop for a while, and turned sideways with some doubts.

Seeing the worry in Qingyang Chengyan's eyes, Xiao He couldn't help but smile again.

"Indeed."

"Today's house is indeed very different from the past."

Seeing that there was no trace of worry on Xiao He's face, Yang Chengyan couldn't help but feel anxious.

"I have a vague feeling that what the family said today is quite intended to grab power and seize the power of the court?"

"Isn't Mr. Xiang worried?"

Hearing this, Xiao He smiled elegantly, his face full of composure.

"Your Majesty has to entrust you with water conservancy matters. If the family is still as usual..."

Halfway through speaking, Xiao He sighed bitterly and shook his head, looking meaningfully at Yang Chengyan.

"If it is just now, the family will let the power of supervising the country be in the hands of the queen, and the old man will have to sleep and eat hard."

"The family is acting like this, and the old man feels more at ease."

Hearing Xiao He's words, Yang Chengyan couldn't help but froze, and nodded thoughtfully.

However, Xiao He sighed again, and looked at Yangcheng Yanji again, his eyes were full of bitterness.

"Instead of suspecting the difference between today and the family, the Shaofu should think about what strategy we should offer in the afternoon when we meet the queen and the family face to face."

"It is important to know that Guanzhong's water conservancy work has been done repeatedly since the country was established, but it has been a long time since it was not done..."
