The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 225: The water in the Yellow River is clear. This is a sign of a saint’s rule.

"His Majesty!"

Many guards hurriedly gathered around, and then they all knelt down and said: "I have failed to protect you in my humble position, please be punished by your majesty!"

They are bodyguards, but they need the emperor to personally resolve the crisis. This is simply dereliction of duty!
However, Li Chengdao just waved his hand and said: "Get up, I don't blame you."

In the situation just now, the guard couldn't rush over at all, so he only had the strength to take action in time.

"Are you OK?"

Li Chengdao turned his attention to Huyanrena, who couldn't stop shaking in his arms, and asked.

Huyanrena's face was full of tears. She didn't say anything after hearing Li Chengdao's words, but nodded slightly.

If Li Chengdao hadn't killed the black bear at the last moment, I'm afraid she would have died from the bear's paw. Although she was fine now, she still had lingering fears and it was difficult to recover for a while.

"Why does this black bear attack people?"

Li Chengdao frowned at the guard and asked.

Although black bears are dangerous, they generally do not attack people, let alone jump out and hurt people when there are so many people around.

An experienced guard in the mountain walked over to the bear carcass, took a look at it, and then answered with a cupped hand: "Your Majesty, this is a female bear in estrus. She is very sensitive to smells. It must be the smell of the queen that irritated her. , will trigger its sudden attack."

"odor?"

When Li Chengdao heard this, he looked at Huyanrena, and then noticed the sachet on her waist, and he suddenly understood.

It seems that the culprit is this sachet.

Huyanrena was greatly frightened by this sudden accident, and the hunting could not continue, so Li Chengdao ordered: "Take the bear corpse and the wild boar corpse and return to the palace."

"As ordered!"

All the guards clasped their fists in response.

……

This hunt can be regarded as a fruitful return. Li Chengdao returned to the palace carrying a black bear and wild boar, which attracted many people's attention.

And when they heard the guards tell them about the accident that happened during the hunting, they were all shocked. They were even more shocked by Li Chengdao's horrific record of decapitating a black bear with one knife.

But Zheng Guanyin was so frightened by this that he refused to allow Li Chengdao to take risks himself and go deep into the mountains. This also caused Li Chengdao to only play near the palace in the future and could not lead his guards to hunt alone.

However, outing in the mountains is also fun and not too boring.

This spring search lasted for more than ten days, and then everyone reluctantly set off back to Chang'an.After half a month of traveling in Chunsou, the court had a lot of matters to deal with, so as soon as they returned to Chang'an, all the courtiers fell into a new round of busyness.

The same is true for Li Chengdao. There are many spring sacrificial activities that require him to be busy. In addition, he also has to pay attention to the flood conditions in various places, because the spring floods that accompany the arrival of spring are something that cannot be ignored. They are related to the state of the country, the people's sentiments, and the safety of the people.

When it comes to flood conditions, we have to talk about the Yellow River.

Floods in the Yellow River have been a headache for all dynasties. Countless people live on both sides of the Yellow River and downstream. Floods in the Yellow River are even more serious during spring floods. If not managed well, millions of people will suffer.

Regarding the Yellow River floods, officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs were at odds with each other in the morning.

The reason is simple. Controlling floods in the Yellow River and repairing dams require a lot of money. The Ministry of Industry asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds to control the Yellow River, but the Ministry of Household Affairs was not happy.

Because of the flood control in the Yellow River last year, the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated 50 taels of silver to the Ministry of Works. At that time, after the repairs were completed, there was a balance of more than [-] taels, which was not returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs. They want money again this year. Really, their households should The whole thing is a result of the flood.

"Didn't your Ministry of Industry only spend 30 yuan to repair the embankment last year? You even patted your chest and said how solid the repair was, and you didn't get back the rest of the money. Why do you want money again this year?"

Tobe Shangshu said with a bad expression.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry stared at this and said angrily: "The remaining 20 yuan from last year in the Ministry of Industry was used to repair rivers in other places. Where is there any left?"

"The floods are severe this year, so we need to reinforce them just in case. If anything happens, can your Ministry of Revenue take responsibility? You, a money manager, don't know how to manage rivers!"

After saying that, he bowed his hands to Li Chengdao who was sitting on the high seat, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I am dedicated to serving the people, but this old guy has repeatedly refused to allocate funds. Please comment on it!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was so angry that his beard exploded. He scratched his neck and said: "I don't want money, but I want my life! You see how much my life is worth, so just take it!"

In fact, after paying seven aristocratic families into the national treasury, the national treasury is still very rich. However, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue have always been stingy, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is a hot-tempered person who is always rude when speaking. Naturally, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue does not have a good face.

Two ministers of the first rank were quarreling with red faces and thick necks in the court. This scene made many officials secretly chuckle, but most of them were used to it. If the court didn't quarrel, would it still be called a court?
"Both Qings, please calm down. It is unbecoming to make noise in the court."

As the emperor, Li Chengdao naturally couldn't laugh, otherwise he would lose the dignity of the emperor.

After giving a scolding sentence with a straight face, he looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and said: "We really need to pay attention to the floods in the Yellow River. It is related to the safety of tens of millions of people. The Ministry of Revenue will allocate another 20 silver to the Ministry of Industry."

Li Chengdao had already spoken, which was the last word. Naturally, the Minister of Household Affairs could not violate it, so he could only say with a dark face: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry had a happy face. After glancing at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry with pride, he raised his hands to His Majesty with a smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty is wise. No wonder the water in the Yellow River has become clear recently. This is an auspicious sign!" His Majesty Tianyu is an unparalleled saint and emperor!"

As the old saying goes, if the water in the Yellow River is clear, saints will emerge. This is an auspicious sign.

After hearing the words of the Minister of Industry, the civil and military officials all echoed his words, praising the emperor as a sage and the destined king.

However, amidst the compliments, Li Chengdao not only did not feel happy, but his expression changed.

Is the Yellow River clear? !
