Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 328 Come, Tell Gu, Where Do You Want to Run?
In "Historical Records", Qin Benji records: "In the fourth year of King Zhaoxiang, he took Puban. In the fifth year, he returned to Wei Puban." Puban originally refers to a sloping road about ten miles long passing through the old city of Puzhou.

This Changban starts from Emei Ridge on the east side of Pujiu Temple, passes through the slope of the temple to the west and goes straight down to Pujin Bridge by the Yellow River. The height difference between the east and west ends is about three feet. In the pre-Qin period, people called this city Puban.

"Ban" is connected with "Fan", so Puban is also called Pufan because Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty changed Qinzhou to Puzhou in the second year of Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, "taking the name of Puban".In the 16th year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, Puban County was moved to the east of Puzhou, and Hedong County was established in the old city of Puban.In the third year of Daye, Puban County was merged into Hedong County.

In the first year of Wude, Puzhou was established in Sangquan County, and the original Puzhou City was moved in three years.Leading the counties of Hedong, Hexi, Linjin, Yishi, Yuxiang, Bao, Jie, Yongle and so on.

The Yongji Canal, a water conservancy project in Puzhou, was first built in the first month of the second year of Baoding in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the people of the state dug a canal in the east of Puzhou City, diverted the river water for irrigation, and named it Yongji Canal, implying permanent benefits.

It passes through the east of the city and enters the Sushui River in the south, where the water of the turbulent Yellow River flows into the canal, "with the water potential to kill less", relieve the pressure, protect the Pujin Bridge from being destroyed by water, and at the same time still be able to take water to irrigate the fields, which is very beneficial to the people.The terrain of Emei Mountain in the east of Puzhou City is high and steep. Whenever there is heavy rain, the water will flow down and directly irrigate the city of Puzhou. Therefore, Yongji Canal is also convenient for flood drainage and city protection.

Due to the limited military rations Li Chengqian carried, and the accident in Anzhou dragged on for a long time, he had to transfer to Puzhou to replenish the military rations at the military warehouses there.

This military warehouse was first built in the second year of Zhenguan, and in order to facilitate transportation, it was deliberately set up on the bank of the Yellow River. Delivering rations on the battlefield.

This time of year is a critical period for the flood control of the Yellow River. The government will recruit local elites to build embankments and build dams to ensure that they will not suffer from floods that year.

"I didn't say, you're blind! Didn't you see the king's flag? You don't have any eyesight at all, why are you working as an errand!" Li You pointed to the guards who met him on the official road and shouted loudly , When they saw the prince's flag, they didn't know how to avoid it. Who gave them the courage.

"Back to the lord, the next official is the deployment of Zheng Renji, the right servant of the household department. Zheng Shilang asked me to wait to find materials to strengthen the dam. The task is so important that I offended you. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness Qi Wang.", the leading green-robed official Although the words on the lips were humble, there was indeed an air of arrogance on the face, and the body was standing very straight, and he didn't feel that he was being rude at all.

That's right, it's also reasonable for people to do this. Don't say that repairing the embankment is a serious matter, it is enough to say that he is Zheng Renji's confidant.Zheng Niangniang is pregnant with Liujia now, and the little prince will be born in a few months. According to Zheng Niangniang's degree of favor, can a prince still run away?You, a prince who is not favored by the emperor and relies on the East Palace, what arrogance you have!

Seeing that the little official in front of him dared to look down on him, the nameless fire in Li You's heart couldn't help burning, and he jumped off the horse, stepped forward to hit the head with a whip, and directly sent the green-robed official who was just still stubborn His face was full of peach blossoms, and he rolled all over the ground in pain.

"What the hell, I tell you, according to the rules of etiquette, you can contradict the prince with fifty sticks. This whip today is to let your kid have a long memory and know who you really are. Let your people get out of the way immediately, and the prince will In the back, startled him, this king wants your head, you."

Before Li You finished speaking, Li Chengqian came to the front because of the stop of the queue. After glancing at the officials rolling on the ground, he frowned and asked, "Fifth, what's going on?"

After listening to Li You's explanation, Li Chengqian took another look at the officials who were throwing and rolling on the ground, feeling dissatisfied in his heart.

You say that if you have a business, you have a business, and you can do it with a gift and an apology. What a madness.Now that this is happening again, so many officers, soldiers and servants are gathered here to watch, isn't this clearly embarrassing the fifth child?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Zheng Renji, see His Highness, Your Highness, and congratulate His Highness on his triumphant return to court." Zheng Renji greeted Li Chengqian panting, and wiped his muddy face with his sleeve indiscriminately, hey, this Dishonored in front of the prince.

Looking at Zheng Renji's messy robe, Li Chengqian couldn't get angry anymore, and then said: "Zheng Shilang, I know that the household affairs are not easy to do, but people have to behave well, let's forget about this time." .Tell me, what happened to the embankment in front of you."

Zheng Renji had been in the officialdom for so many years, and he didn't understand what happened when he saw the situation on the scene. Since the crown prince said that he would not pursue it, it would be fine to salute himself.After the ceremony, Zheng Renji shook his robe, waved his hand, and told the servants what to do.

"Your Highness, this year's water is a little bit bigger, and it has reached the limit of the existing embankment, so the ministers have been trying their best to strengthen it these days. But the effect is very little. Once the embankment bursts, the 50 tan of military rations in the Yongji Warehouse will also be destroyed. It's in jeopardy."

As soon as Zheng Renji finished speaking, an official also wearing a red robe ran in in a panic.I saw him pulling Zheng Renji forward while saying: "Zheng Shilang, the embankment has burst, run, if you don't run, we will have to feed the fish here."

Just like that, he staggered directly into Li Chengqian's arms: "Honor, Your Highness, minister, minister."

Hehehe..., "Uncle Wang, you are a good governor of Puzhou, you can run faster than a rabbit when something happens, you really disregarded His Majesty's trust in you, and said, how should I reward you?"

"His Royal Highness calm down, the governor Wang was also confused for a while, these days he is also wholeheartedly doing business, so let him spare his life! Besides, now that we have made a decision, it is the time for employing people, who will organize the army and the people if he kills him?", bluntly Taking a look at Wang Shuzhi who was paralyzed on the ground, Zheng Renji hurried forward to intercede with him.

Hmph, after a cold snort, Li Chengqian continued: "Zheng Shilang, you and Wang Shuzhi immediately opened the Yongji warehouse and took out [-] shi of military rations to test the water. The rations will swell when exposed to water, and the hole must be given to the orphan." Block it and keep the imperial army's rations." During the conversation, he waved to Li You again, and ordered him to hand over his soldiers to Zheng Renji to block the dam.

"Nephew Wang, you only have one chance. If you can't plug the opening, you can jump in and fill it up yourself. Alright, let's go on errands and go to the big tent to wait for news from you."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Zheng Renji couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, that is a bottomless pit. Ten thousand stones of military rations may not be able to block it. If you turn around and fill it in a lot, how can you explain to Your Majesty?"

"Hey, I said Zheng Shilang, you are so determined. My elder brother said that we can fill them in, so what if we fill them all in? Are we waiting for the water from the Yellow River to flood them all?"

Li You is the one who doesn't care about this kind of dogma the most. The sky is falling, and there is a tall man standing on top of it. Could it be that my eldest brother will let you take the blame for him? You don't have to lose the face of the royal family.
