Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 591

"No, Your Majesty has identified the wrong person."

Young Master Xi turned his head to one side, and said in a tearful voice, "The villain is just a common man in Wudu..."

Is this to be angry with the widow?
Qingji chuckled, and immediately helped Young Master Xi up from the ground, and said, "Xi'er, you are still blaming your father... did you banished you cruelly back then?"

"Child dare not!"

Finally, Young Master Xi admitted his identity, lowered his head and said: "Father, the child knows that he should not beat Brother Fan and commit the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"The child already knows his mistake, but he dare not beg for forgiveness from his father."

"Over the years, my child has gotten used to the life of common people, please take care of my father and mother."

"Forgive the child for being unfilial and not being filial in front of you. I just hope that the father and king will forgive me, so that the child can fight the enemy and make contributions to the country, so that he can seal his wife and son, enter the house, and see his father, queen, mother and concubine occasionally." one side."

"This...is the child's greatest long-cherished wish in this life!"

"..."

Hearing these words, Qing Ji felt extremely sad in his heart.

How could Qingji kill his own flesh and blood?
At that time, it was Gongzi Xi who was so stubborn that it was difficult to teach him. Qingji was afraid that if things went on like this, he would cause even greater disasters, so he exiled him...

At this time, seeing the reformed son Xi, how could Qingji not feel sorry for him?
Qing Ji patted Young Master Xi on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Xi'er, you have really grown up."

"Are you willing to go back to Jinling with the widow?"

"Father, the child is really... okay?"

Seeing Qing Ji's expectant gaze, Gong Zixi finally felt relieved, couldn't help but burst into tears, and hugged Qing Ji, very excited.

six years!

A full six years!

Young Master Xi had been a woodcutter, a fisherman, and a farmer, and his life was very hard.

Selling on the street, killing fish to make money, how uncomfortable is this for a teenage boy, a son who was originally well-clothed and well-fed?
Fortunately, Gong Zixi survived!

All the hardships come!

Young Master Xi, who was exiled abroad for six years, has been completely reborn, and his character has been tempered to an exceptionally deep level.

In fact, Qingji didn't care much about it anymore, as Young Master Xi was too scheming.

As long as Young Master Xi puts the country's people first and the society first, then Qingji will be happy to hear it.

……

Qingji then inspected Jiujiang County, Yuzhang County, and the downstream Lujiang County. After condolences to the soldiers, officials and victims of the disaster, he returned to the capital Jinling.

This time the disaster has been brought under control.

More than 40 Li and Shu were affected by the disaster. Fortunately, the timely dredging and the government's flood relief were in place, so the death of Li and Shu was not too many.

About 1000 people!

That is to say, but a large number of houses and farmland were flooded, and the property losses caused were immeasurable.

After the disaster was eased, Qingji, who returned to Jinling, held a grand court meeting immediately to discuss post-disaster reconstruction and how to deal with the things that had been ordered.

Those who participated in this grand court meeting were basically officials with official ranks above six hundred shi.

The extra special seats are for the princes of Qingji.

The eldest son Wu Hong, the second son Wu Xi, the eldest son Wu Heng, and the son Wu Fan are all over 16 years old and were allowed to participate in state affairs by Qingji.

Qingji's four sons all have quite a background.

Young Master Hong, born like a dream.

Prince Heng, born to Queen Ji Kou.

Gong Zixi, born of Zhu Ji.

Prince Fan, born of Meng Ying.

The main force behind Wu Heng is the Yue faction.

The main force behind Wu Fan is the Chu faction.

The main force behind Wu Hong is the local faction of Wu.

Wu Xi is a little more lonely, but he is also favored by Qingji...

As the princes grow up, the battle for the throne of Wu seems to have begun.

Qingji didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Take, the governor of Lujiang County once ordered the upper hall—"

Following the sound of the CRRC Commander standing on the side of the platform, Zeng Dian, who had already been tied up, was taken to the Zide Hall by two guards, waiting for Qingji's trial

As the sheriff of a county, the official rank of two thousand stones was once ordered, which is high and powerful.

To deal with such a Zeng point, the Tingwei Mansion cannot decide on its own.

Even Qingji himself is not easy to make decisions arbitrarily.

"Chen, the governor of Lujiang County once ordered, see the king! I am king Wannian! Great Wu Wannian!"

Zeng clicked "plop" and knelt under the majesty's platform.

Qingji's face was neither happy nor sad, he asked slowly: "Zeng Dian, are you guilty?"

"My minister is guilty!"

Zeng Dian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, because of the delay of time, thousands of people died in this catastrophic flood. In Wu County, Jiujiang County, and Yuzhang County, more than [-] households were affected by the flood, and more than [-] people were deep. suffer!"

"I know that I can't escape the guilt! Please come down to the king, and the envoy will commit suicide!"

Zeng Dian really knew that his guilt was inevitable, in order to avoid harming his wife, children and children, he could only plead guilty and obey the law!

This made Qingji feel very sad.

Who was Zeng Dian?
Zeng Dian, courtesy name Xi, also known as Zeng Xi, surnamed Si, was born in Wucheng, South of Lu State, the father of "Zong Sheng" Zeng Shen, a disciple of Confucius, one of the 72 sages of Confucius, and the first batch of disciples taught by Confucius in his 30s When the disciples received.

It can be said that Zeng Dian was the earliest disciple who entered Wu with Confucius, and was also entrusted by Qingji with the important task of serving as the governor of Yifang County.

Such a point has a bright future.

As a disciple of Confucius, Zeng Dian was a nobleman with a high family background.

It can be seen from the surname.

The ancestor of Zeng Dian was Dayu.

In the past, King Shaokang of Xia granted his second son, Qu Lie, the Viscount Zeng, and established the Kingdom of Zeng in Zeng, from which the Zeng surname originated.

The state of Ju went through Xia, Shang, and Zhou until the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, it was destroyed by the state of Ju in 567 BC.

The eldest son Wu went to settle in Nanwu City of Lu State.

The descendants use "鄫" as the family name, and remove Yipang (阝), which means leaving the old city and not forgetting the ancestors, called "Zeng"!
Three passes to Zeng Dian.

Zeng Dian likes to play the piano and sing, learns Confucianism, hates the poor ethics and education in the world, and is determined to change the status quo.

He is an enterprising wild man!
Zeng Dian, who served as the governor of Lujiang County, was also a clean and honest official, impartial in enforcing the law, and a man who was willing to do good, so he won the hearts of the people.

Qingji saw and remembered Zeng Dian's political achievements in Lujiang County.

Qingji has already planned to promote Zeng Dian as one of the nine ministers.

How could it have been imagined that Zeng Dian made such a mistake on the key issue of flood fighting and emergency rescue?
pedantic!

I don't know what to do!
Fortunately, after receiving the imperial edict from Qingji, Zeng Dian dug the river channel in Lujiang County non-stop and dredged the flood in time, which can be regarded as stopping the loss for Wu State in time.

If not, if he dared to disobey the king's order this time, he would have ten heads, not enough to chop off!
"Second and third sons, in your opinion, how should the widow deal with Zeng Dian?"
