I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 48 Pretending to See You Raise Your Hand
The lobby of the government office in Jiangling Prefecture is said to be the lobby of the state government office built in the previous Tang Dynasty, and the existing building is a reconstruction of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The lobby is tall and wide, and the method of reducing columns is used to make it look more spectacular.It is said that there are usually five main halls in state government offices across the country, and it is very rare that there are only seven halls like the Jingzhou Hall.

In the East Wing next to the main hall, the King of Chu was wearing a luxurious black official uniform, sitting behind the table, and all the officials sat on the left and right.

At this moment, everyone was silent when they heard His Highness King Chu's questioning.Sitting there peacefully, looking at the mouth, nose, and heart, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, the King of Chu couldn't help frowning slightly, his face was very worried, and asked again, "He Tongjuan, it seems that you have something to say?"

He Tongpan, He Shijing, over fifty years old, Jinshi in the seventh year of Dingxing.He once served as the governor of Xinghua County, the county magistrate of Changqing County, and the minister of Zhenjiang Prefecture.

He Shijing and He Tongpan are sitting comfortably in their seats at this time, a little disdainful of His Highness King Chu's fuss, isn't it normal for droughts and floods from God?

Since ancient times, the world has been inhumane, and everything is regarded as a humble dog.Whether God wants it to rain or not is his business, and you can't control it.

As the saying goes, when it rains, the mother wants to get married.

This is not the first time you have experienced it, so why worry about the country and the people?
He was disdainful of Shangguan's pretentious attitude, but suddenly heard Shangguan's question.Then he raised his head in confusion, and looked at King Chu who was behind the case.

"He Tongpan has something to say, just say it bluntly, don't worry too much!" Seeing him like this, the king of Chu held back the smile in his heart, and repeated it again.

I…

I didn't do anything?

At this moment, He Tongpan wanted to scold his mother very much.

I didn't even lift my head just now!
This is really a person sitting at home, and the disaster comes from the sky...

However, the situation is stronger than people!Who made him a Shangguan!

He Tongpan hesitated for a moment, suppressed the anger in his heart, and responded carefully: "According to the previous example, we should divert water from the big river to solve the immediate emergency!"

Dajiang is the Yangtze River.

It is meandering from Jingzhou Mansion, and one of its tributaries also flows through Jiangling City.The government built a sluice on this tributary to regulate the river.

Whenever there is a shortage of water in Jingzhou Prefecture, this sluice will be opened to divert water from the big river.

However, this adjustment is limited, and it can only benefit the fields around the river, and it cannot be reached in the distance.

For the entire Jingzhou Mansion, it is a drop in the bucket.

He Tongjuan basically didn't say anything.They were all pushed to the corner, and they were still slippery.

Old slick!
The King of Chu sighed, glanced at the subordinates sitting down again, and then asked, "Song Tuiguan, do you have a different opinion?"

Repeated tricks!

Facing a group of mufflers who bowed their heads and said nothing, he was also helpless.

I can only pretend to see you raise your hand...

Song Tuiguan and Song Renyi, who are over sixty years old, are just at the time of knowing their destiny, and they have never seen any intrigues, turbulent winds and waves.

Sitting sideways, he had already seen through His Highness King Chu's tricks.Therefore, seeing the old tricks of the king of Chu on him again, he was not panicked at all.

He stood up unhurriedly, cupped his hands and saluted: "It has been two months since the beginning of spring, and there has not been a drop of rain in the sky." From the dragon, it causes rain.Therefore, the temple officials should be ordered to offer sacrifices to the Thunder Master and the Rain Master, and pray for rain in this way, hoping to be protected by the gods and Buddhas. "

How to pray for rain?

It was not the first time that the King of Chu had heard of it, and even personally participated in it when he was in the capital.

However, in his memory, there was no time when praying for rain was useful!
It's all about deceiving yourself, comforting yourself, and comforting others.

But in the current situation, it seems that there is no better way.I can only pray and hope that it will rain soon.I can only pray, this method of praying for rain is really useful.

Ugh…!
He sighed again, looking at the group of mufflers below, he felt very irritable, and said with a sad face: "So, just go down and get ready!"

"Follow your orders!"

All the subordinates immediately got up and bowed to agree.Then, retreat one by one.

Chu Wang Guo Yunzhe looked at the empty hall in front of him, and then looked at the documents presented by the embankment secretary, feeling inexplicably irritated.

"Master, I'll exchange a cup of hot tea for you!" His personal servant 'Ruyi' came in with a teapot in hand.

"No need!" King Chu Guo Yunzhe waved his hand irritably and interrupted: "Go for a walk!"

"The servant will prepare the car for you!" Ruyi hurriedly put down the teapot, followed closely behind with a slight bow.

"No need! Just walk around!" King Chu strode out while speaking.

Ruyi trotted, followed behind him, and reminded in a low voice, "Master, Chen Gangshi ordered someone to send an invitation to the poetry meeting."

While speaking, he took out the invitation card from his wide sleeve.

Chu Wang Guo Yunzhe stopped immediately, but instead of accepting the invitation as usual, he frowned delicately.

Ah!
When is this? This group of literati and students are still thinking of holding a poetry meeting?

And I don't know, is this poetry meeting the most hungry or the most hungry?
Ridiculous!
If such a literati student is admitted to Jinshi and becomes a local official to take charge of the government, is it a blessing or a tragedy for the country?

At this thought, he snorted coldly, and said coldly: "Reject it! Gu, I don't want to starve to death!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his foot again and walked out of the government office.

But Ruyi behind him is full of face as it should be!
A group of literati and students who don't know the so-called, are still thinking about Lao Shizi's poetry meeting at this juncture?

Regardless of my own prince, who doesn't think about tea or food every day because of this drought, he loses weight!

My master loves reciting poems and composing poems. In the past, whenever he had free time, he would attend every poetry meeting.

But now, at this juncture, he is naturally not in the mood.Unlike that group of literati students who don't know what to do, a group of heartless things!

"Bah!" Ruyi spat secretly, followed closely behind her prince, and left the mansion.

I saw Guanshi Zhu, already waiting beside the carriage on the street, looking at the government office intently. Seeing his prince coming out, he hurriedly trotted a few steps to the front, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness bows!"

"Yeah!" King Chu nodded, and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

"Go back to the lord, the new rabbit house has been built! Would you like to go and have a look?"

"Oh?" The King of Chu suddenly became interested. This is one of the few good news recently, and he couldn't help but say with joy, "Go! Go and have a look!"

Upon hearing this, Guanshi Zhu trotted a few steps, returned to the carriage, put down the pedals, and raised the curtain again.

Soon, Ruyi got into the carriage with her prince behind.

Guanshi Zhu, on the other hand, sat on the frame with the handlebars.

"Drive!" The carriage started slowly, and drove towards the north city gate along the busy street.

Outside the North City, a lot has changed recently.

Not only have two new brick kilns been built, but even the official roads outside the city have begun to be rebuilt.

And the black chimneys of the two brick kilns have become landmark buildings.During the firing of the kiln, two billows of black smoke become a scene in the northern city.
