The Emperor Shun Zhishi

Chapter 44 Rebuilding Guirui

Shun brought Hou Ji to the territory of the Yu clan, and just as he walked into the small road in the village, he heard a melodious singing.Shun found it strange that the east gate of Guirui City had not yet been completed, so how could the Yu family live a life of singing and dancing.

Shun walks along the small road in the village and walks into the central square of the Yu Clan, where he sees Xiang lying on a wooden bed watching some beauties dancing, and from time to time there are beauties feeding him grapes.

It turned out that these beauties were all given to Xiang by Gun. He saw that after one year of implementation of Shun's plan for Guirui City, he was basically not criticized by other tribes, so he planned to start with Xiang and give him a house and many beauties. ruin Shun's reputation.If Xiang was obsessed with beauty and delayed the expansion of the city, Gun could spread rumors that Xiang relied on his status as Shun's younger brother to do his best. If Shun let it go, Gun could do more.If Shun didn't think of brotherhood, Gun could instigate Xiang's resentment against Shun, thus making Shun and Xiang vengeful.Once the two confronted each other, Gun could benefit from it.

Sure enough, Xiang was addicted to beauty and delayed the work of city expansion.Seeing Xiang's decadent appearance, Shun couldn't help being angry.He stepped forward and pulled the elephant up from the bed.

"When is it, are you still obsessed with singing and dancing?"

When Xiang saw Shun, he was surprised at first, then smiled and said:
"Now that the city of Guirui is peaceful and people are indulging in singing and dancing, doesn't this prove that you manage Guirui well?"

Seeing Xiang kicking the ball to him and flattering him to some extent, Shun became even more annoyed.

"Why is the east gate of Guirui so dilapidated and low? If San Miao came from the east gate now, wouldn't Guirui City fall!"

Xiang continued to lie on the bed, unhurriedly eating the grapes fed by the beauty.

"Is the city lord confused? Didn't these three seedlings just sign a covenant of eternal peace with Huaxia and Dongyi a year ago? Why did they call from the east gate?"

When Shun heard what Xiang said, he was immediately speechless.This aroused Xiao Xingxing's anger, he is different from Shun, he is eloquent, quick thinking, and has the temper of the elders in Yanjing, carefree.He briefly controlled Shun's body, walked in front of the elephant, and pushed the elephant to the ground.

Looking at Xiao Xingxing's angry movements, Xiang was momentarily stunned.

"You, what are you doing?"

"Since you told others that you are my younger brother and have privileges, then I will exercise my right to be an older brother today. Listen to me, you have the image of the Yu family. Because you were indulging in beauty during the construction of the east gate of Guirui This has caused a delay in the construction period. Now, in my capacity as the lord of Guirui, I am announcing that you will be dismissed from your positions as the supervisor of the Dongcheng Gate and the temporary leader of the Youyu clan, and temporarily confiscate all your property in the Yu clan, including a house. And the four of you, Meiji. Within three years, if you don’t make any more mistakes, I will return these properties to you. I will temporarily replace the leader of the Yu Clan and lead the construction of the East City Gate.”

Like listening to Little Xingxing coming to the truth, I don't know what to do for a while.After standing blankly for a few seconds, he thought of his father, and it seemed that only the blind old man could hold him down.Immediately ask someone to call Gusou.

Not long after, Gusou and Ji Hao ran towards the square in the village angrily.When Xiang saw his elderly father approaching, he quickly knelt down and complained to him with tears and snot.

"Father, you value Hua. Does he still regard me as his younger brother? Just because he became the lord of Guirui, he acted like a domineering man in front of me, and removed me from my position as the temporary head of the Yu clan. He has already left There is a Yu clan, why should I care about my Yu clan? Is it because you drove him out of the Yu clan back then, and came to revenge? Now that you are still alive, he just runs on me like this. In the future, when you are gone, he Can't you kill me? Why can't we have the same father, but he can't tolerate me?"

The villain Xiang complained first, and Gusou loved Xiang all the time. When he heard that Shunge went to Xiang to serve as the leader of Yu's family and confiscated his property, he became very angry.

"What a majestic official! I can't see it with my eyes. If I see you domineering now, wouldn't I be so mad at you!"

Ji Hao patted Gusou on the shoulder, adding fuel and jealousy while criticizing Luo Shun.

"You are no longer a member of the Youyu clan. Why do you care about our Youyu clan? Why do you remove my son's position in the Youyu clan? What is your intention? Do you want to report to your father on the elephant?" Drive you out of the Yu family's hatred?"

Hearing Ji Hao's words, Gusou was furious, picked up his crutches and hit Shun.

"I knew you were not a good breed. You blinded me back then, and now you are harming your brother. You have become the lord of Guirui, so it's okay if we don't get your honor, but now you confiscated your brother's money." Property, I will beat you to death, you bastard!"

Gusou was blind, so he couldn't beat Shun.But Shun was a filial son, and he didn't want to dodge his father's beating, so he honestly took a few beats.Little Xingxing also knows that Shun is a filial son, and also knows that the ancient filial piety has some disadvantages in the eyes of modern people. Although he is powerless to object, he does not give in.

"Father, listen to my explanation. The reason why I punished Xiang is to protect the reputation of you and the Yu clan!"

"So you're still doing it for me?"

"Of course. Although I am Xiang's elder brother and the owner of Guirui City, if I protect Xiang, people will find out in the future, how will they talk about you? People will say: This blind old man gave birth to two sons. It's not a good thing, when an official doesn't think about the people, he knows how to protect his family, is this what a parent official should do, and the blind old man is not a good thing, so he gave birth to such two children."

Gusou fell silent when he heard it, and felt that what Shun said was not unreasonable.

"Then why did you confiscate his property and dismiss him as the leader of the Yu clan?"

"I just confiscated his property temporarily, and I will return it to him in the future. Besides, father, you didn't see that when Xiang was in charge of the construction of the east gate of Guirui, he was indulging in singing and dancing every day. This is what a leader should do Is he so lazy, how will he convince the public in the future?"

Hearing Little Xingxing's words, Gusou was immediately indifferent.

"But he is your brother after all."

Seeing that the blind old man was silent, Ji Hao stepped forward to speak kind words for Xiang.

"Because he is my younger brother, I have to be more strict with him. Only by letting him practice and not be fooled by beautiful singing and dancing can he achieve a career in the future. Don't my father and mother know that I put elephant Is it the intention to bring in the Guirui City Expansion Management Agency?"

"Administration?"

Ji Hao didn't seem to understand the words of the 21st century, so Xiao Xingxing quickly explained to her.

"It is the official who leads and manages the expansion of the Guirui city, and presides over the construction of the Guirui East Gate. Only when he does these tasks well and proves that he is a good official who takes the world as his own responsibility, can I make him a bigger one. Officer, don't my father and mother see through my painstaking efforts?"

When Xiao Xingxing talked about being excited, she also revealed her true feelings, and tears welled up in her eyes, which immediately moved Gusou and even Ji Hao.Little Xingxing sees that his sensational speech is effective, so he hastened to strike while the iron is hot.

"After my son became the lord of Guirui City, he also thought about his father and mother every day. Seeing his father blind and living in a shabby hut, the son couldn't bear it. This time he came to the territory of the Yu family, and the son also wanted to take this opportunity to give Father and mother build a new house."

Gusou and Ji Hao listened to what Little Xingxing said, no matter how hard-hearted they were, they would not complain.Gusou was indeed a little moved, thinking of Shun's words just now, they were clear and logical, and it was rare for Shun to understand the righteousness so well.Recalling all the misunderstandings and criticisms he had made towards Shun, Shun not only did not hold grudges, but even built a house for him, Gusou was immediately moved.As for Shun's punishment of Xiang, there will be no further investigation.

In the next few days, Shun settled down in the Youyu family, started to build houses for Gusou and Ji Hao, and temporarily handed over the leadership of Guirui to Ehuang.But Xiang is a very vengeful person, especially after his property and beauties are confiscated, Xiang is even more deliberate and must put Shun to death.

One day, when Shun laid the foundation with wooden piles and built the roof of the house, he found that the house was on fire.Little Xingxing knew that it must be Xianggan, because it was written clearly in the history books.Fortunately, Shun was well prepared. He took two big bamboo hats and flew down from the roof like a big bird without any harm.

Shun didn't say anything about the fire, because Xiao Xingxing only saw from the history books that the fire was set by an elephant, and there was no evidence that the suspect was an elephant.Anyway, Little Xingxing also knows the history, and Shun finally achieved the emperor's career, so he doesn't care much about the harm of natural objects.On the contrary, Nvying felt frightened. She always thought that the fire was strange, as if it was man-made.Neither Shun nor Xingxing explained the reason, but just told Nvying that this is not surprising and there is nothing to worry about.But Nvying decided to stay in the Yu clan's territory and protect Shun with her unique demon clan spiritual power.

One day, Nvying found that Shun was vomiting, passed out, and talking nonsense.Nvying inspected Shun's body and suspected that Shun had been poisoned by a witch.For Nvying, who has a thousand-year-old body shield with true energy, this kind of Gu technique is completely child's play.She protected Shun with her true essence, and used her spiritual power to find the person who made the Gu, and backfired the Gu technique on the caster, only to find out that it was a Sanmiao wizard hiding in the Yu clan's territory.

Nvying wanted to find out who made him a witch, but Shun stopped her.Shun knew in his heart who was behind the scenes, but he just didn't want to make the conflict public, so the matter was left alone.

After Shun escaped danger twice, Xiang did not give up. He planned to become a big one, so he discussed with Gun how to kill Shun.Gun thought about it, and had an idea in his mind.

"In the next month, when the rainy season comes, Chonghua will dig a well for Gusou. We will bury him on the spot and pretend that it is raining to cause landslides. Wouldn't it be impossible for anyone to notice?"

Gun and Xiang smiled at each other, thinking that Shun would not escape this time no matter what.Unexpectedly, Shun was blessed by the mandate of heaven, and Yu heard the words of Gun and Xiang.Although Yu was young, 20 years younger than Shun, after many contacts, the two became as close as brothers.Especially in terms of water control, Shun had high expectations of Yu.

After a few days, it really rained heavily on Yu's family. In order to build a house for Gusou as soon as possible, Shun went down to dig a well by himself.Gun and Xiang took the opportunity to fill the well where Shun lived according to the plan.As the rain continued to fall, the well was filled in no time.

Gun and Xiang couldn't help laughing triumphantly as they looked at the well that had been filled with floodwater and silt.The two waited for about two hours before pretending to find that Shun was buried in the well.They shouted in Yu's territory and organized people to rescue them.After they spent two hours digging the well, they found that there was no sign of Shun inside.

Both Gun and Xiang were very surprised. They saw with their own eyes that Shun went down into the well and buried the soil himself.When Gun and Xiang were surprised, they suddenly saw Shun appearing in front of them. They were so startled that they were speechless for a long time.

"Why, aren't you happy to see that I'm still alive?"

Gun and Xiang felt guilty, and they were naturally very afraid that Shun would make trouble for them if he knew the truth.The two quickly hugged Shun and wailed loudly, pretending to shed a few tears.

"I thought you were buried in the well, and I organized everyone to rescue you. God opened my eyes. I didn't expect that we could still see the city lord. God bless me, Huaxia!"

Gun hugged Shun and wept with joy, as if he looked so much like Gun's disguise, worried that he would be found out, and Shun would make trouble for him, so he also cried bitterly.

"My dear brother! I am so afraid that I will never see you again. I would rather give my life for you to live. I didn't expect you to be alive. It's so good!"

It turned out that Yu had informed Shun of their plan in advance, and Shun made preparations, dug a tunnel in the well, and escaped.

"I have the blessing of destiny. Even Uncle Wu and Taotie can't kill me, let alone a well? You don't have to worry. I've seen what you've done today. If I have achievements in the future, I won't forget your achievements." .”

Shun didn't make his words clear. Of course, there were family considerations in this, and the more important reason was that Shun had just become the lord of Guirui, and he was trying to attract talents through his own character, and he didn't want to establish prestige through killing, so he didn't ask Gun and Elephant trouble.But there was something in his words, which Gun and Xiang also understood.If they continue to do harm, Shun will definitely repay them twice in the future.Knowing that Shun didn't care about this matter, the two of them let go of a stone in their hearts. Although they were still very dissatisfied with Shun, they no longer dared to do such a blatant thing again.

After this incident, Shun was never harmed again.The relationship between Yu and Shun is also closer. The two often discuss water control and talk about major events in the world together.Shun was surprised to find that Yu was very intelligent. He was only ten years old and had the wisdom of an adult. He believed that his future achievements would be extraordinary.After the expansion of Guirui City was gradually completed, the biggest problem facing Shun was how to control the water.He looked at Yu and decided to control the water, and asked Yu to be his deputy to help him control the Yellow River.
