Empress work daily

Chapter 33 Half a Year
"Xuan Pinghou's adopted son, Han Qi." Shang Liujia explained: "Although this Han Qi is only a adopted son, in terms of ability and martial arts, he is much better than Xuanpinghou's sons. What's more, he At a young age, he was appreciated by Princess Wei, and after only three years in the army, he won the position of commander of the Zuoye Army, and now the Marquis of Xuan Ping points to this adopted son as his face."

Ji Qiang knew who Han Qi was.

In the previous life, after Ji Yu came to power, she used the power of life and death to establish her prestige, and this Han Qi often followed her on the saddle.

Before the Bei Rong army broke through the city, this General Han was the first to stand up and advocate surrender, but was cut off by her brother with a knife, and his body hung on the city wall for a month until the city was broken.

In this life, the two of them got together again and fulfilled that sentence, Wang Ba looked at the mung beans, and they met each other at the first glance.

"Then how old is Han Qi?"

"Uh, I'm only two years younger than Young Master Song. It's not that I'm talking too much. This General Han is dark and not as good-looking as Young Master Song. As for his background, he is even more incomparable with Young Master Song. I don't know the eldest lady of the Princess Mansion. Take a look at him."

which point?Ji Qiang sneered, how could a person who climbed the dragon chair in his previous life give up so easily?

……

In the early morning of the next day, it seems that people are in good spirits due to happy events, so Ji Wei took the initiative to write a letter requesting to renovate the school's martial arts field, and to make the old and incomplete weapons look like new.

This move shouldn't be too shocking, especially Yin Qilei, who watched her like a ghost the whole morning, lest she make a fuss and come up with other tricks.

At the end of the morning court, Ji Qiang was about to leave the court, but when he stepped down the golden ladder, he was stopped by Ji Wei, "Your Majesty, please stay."

She lowered her voice, her expression was rather mysterious, "Yu'er's marriage has been decided, and the ceremony will be held tomorrow, I thought, why not take this opportunity to hold a family banquet, and invite Princess Yan and the King of Wuling to the party?" , have a good time, I wonder if His Majesty will reward you..."

Ji Qiang didn't move at all, but Yin Qilei's gossip ear was about to press close to him, causing Ji Wei to turn his face on the spot, "Master Yin, the morning court is over, you can go!"

Yin Qilei turned his head and saw that the hall was empty, so he couldn't help but sneered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm so forgetful, I'm so forgetful."

I thought he should leave wisely, but he took another step forward and said: "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess, as the saying goes, a boy should get married when he is a college student, and a girl should get married when a college student is born, the princess has settled her mind this time, really happy and congratulatory. "

"Thank you, Mr. Yin, for your kindness! I, Yu'er, have found Mr. Ruyi, and I am really relieved." Ji Huapi smiled, "Speaking of the marriage of children, I vaguely remember that Mrs. Yin's eldest daughter also Is the boss not young? Has anyone been selected?"

This time, Yin Qilei could only bite the bullet and take it whole. Ji Qiang couldn't bear to see his overwhelmed look, so he came out to make a rescue, "Auntie's suggestion is very good. If so, I will let Qin Tianjian choose a good one." On a few days, a family banquet will be held in Zichen Palace. At that time, my aunt, elder brother, and the elders of the Xia family will all be invited, one to celebrate the cousin, and the other to reunite with relatives. I don’t know what the aunt wants?"

Ji Hua's smile was stiff at first, but then she suddenly became enlightened, "On behalf of Ji Yu, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Ji Qiang walked away with a smile on his face.

It wasn't until she stepped out of the hall that Ji Wei and Yin Qilei accepted the gift.

"Master Yin is still not leaving? Haven't you read enough gossip?"

Ji Wei returned to that haughty posture again, Yin Qilei also removed the cover, and said in a lingering way: "Where are we going... It's a pity that I don't have the qualifications to go to Zichen Palace on the day your Majesty's family banquet is held..."

He kept half of what he said, and he bit the word "Zichen Palace" very hard. In the blink of an eye, Ji Wei wanted to punch him twice on the spot.

……

The reason why Ji Qiang walked in a hurry was because he was thinking about Song Gantang.

Calculating the time, Linglu should have brought him into Yangyuan Hall long ago.

Sure enough, Song Gantang had already been waiting for a long time when her imperial servant arrived in a hurry.

If in the past he still couldn't figure out why His Majesty refused to return to Zichen Palace for a long time, now Song Gantang has a clear understanding.

The Hall of Yangyuan used to be the Imperial Study Room, and it still is today. His Majesty's living quarters are all in the inner room, and there are no traces of living outside the inner room. From this, it can be seen how far His Majesty has saved.

"Song Qing waived the courtesy, gave the seat, and passed the meal."

"Your Majesty, my subject..." Song Gantang didn't expect Ji Qiang to offer food, and was at a loss for a while, but seeing Ji Qiang's serious and calm eyes, he hurriedly thanked him.

"Song Qing, you're welcome. You must have heard about it. Qin Shaoqing also had breakfast with me a few days ago."

"Yes, Your Majesty, as soon as Qin Shaoqing left the palace, he went to the minister's place and shared with him the matter of His Majesty's gift of food."

share?Seeing Song Gantang's reluctance, he probably really wanted to say "show off".

"Qin Shaoqing said that you have always been a guest at the birthday banquet held by Princess Wei's mansion, and I envy you very much."

envious?It should be sympathy.

Song Gantang muttered something in his heart, but said calmly, "Princess Wei's post is not good for me, but it's a pity that I spoiled the young lady's interest at the banquet, and I'm still panicking, afraid that the princess will blame me. .”

Song Gantang seemed to have something to say.

Ji Qiang looked at him seriously, very curious, "How to say?"

"Missy got a basket of wonderful things, such as Xuanyuan locks, hidden boxes and so on, and ordered the minister to untie them all within a stick of incense, but the minister was too nervous, and after a stick of incense passed, none of them were unlocked... Missy I lost face and thought I was teasing her, but I dare to swear to God, I really screwed up because I was too nervous, but they didn't believe it."

After Song Gantang spoke, Ji Qiang suddenly understood, how could his deadly enemy in the previous life suddenly get better in this life?
The important thing right now is not this, so let’s get down to business, "Song Qing must have heard about it. I made a sand table about the rivers and lakes in my dynasty two days ago, and now the sand table has been reproduced in Fengsheng Temple. Take a look after breakfast."

"It's just that the national teacher said that my sand table is not complete enough, and it is very weak in water conservancy and water management projects. This is Song Qing's strength. I invited Qing here to ask for advice."

"Your Majesty is serious, I dare not, dare not."

Song Gantang said he didn't dare, but he presented a map confidently. Ji Qiang opened it and looked down. It turned out to be the engineering drawing of the canals built around the river and its tributaries for flood control and irrigation. Looking up, There is actually a water transportation route connecting Dajiang and Dahe!

Such an unpredictable prophet is also the work of the national teacher.

"This picture was completed two years ago, and the late emperor had also seen it. It's just that at that time, the late emperor was lingering on his sick bed, there were many troubles in the north, and the water conservancy issue in the south was delayed again and again."

Ji Qiang nodded, using his finger as a pen, walked back and forth along the canal and water transport route several times, and couldn't help but praise: "Compared with this picture, my sand table is nothing worth mentioning."

Song Gantang was flattered.

"I wonder how long it will take to repair the canal?"

"Estimated, five years."

After hearing this, Ji Qiang shook his head.

It's not that she doesn't give time, it's that God forbids it!
Counting from this moment, it will only be half a year until the rainy season in the southern region next year.

Song Gantang was puzzled, "Your Majesty, this canal spans three states and connects the three major water systems of the Great River. The amount of work is huge..."

"I know, you don't need to say too much. If you only repair these few places..." Ji Qiang circled a few points with his finger. According to memory, these are the points where the embankment broke in the previous life. "The project only focuses on flood control. How long will it take?" ?”

Song Gantang was stunned for a moment, then he calculated carefully according to Ji Qiang's point.

After a while, he said seriously: "If you only focus on flood control, reinforcement or diversion, it will take less than a year."

"How about half a year?"

"Half a year? Dare I ask Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry?"

From Song Gantang's point of view, the disadvantages of the Dajiang Water Conservancy have not existed for a year or two, and it is a blessing to be able to start talking about it now, but according to His Majesty, it seems that he wants to build it overnight, how is it possible?
