Chapter 74
After Fu Heng left Changchun Palace, he rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As a courtier, since Jiu'er entered the palace, he was the first to think of Jiu'er when he entered the palace, and he ranked the emperor second.

Fu Heng was introduced by Li Yu to the Xinuang Pavilion to be "diligent in government and close to the virtuous", and knelt down to the emperor.

The emperor nodded: "I'm back."

Fu Heng took a careful breath: "As the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, the slave came out of Beijing without purpose, and was willing to be punished by the master."

The emperor tilted his head: "As a Beijing official, it is natural to be guilty of going out of Beijing without purpose. But I believe that you have never been such a reckless person. You know that you are guilty and are willing to accept the crime. There must be your reasons. Tell me, what did you do?"

Fu Heng knelt on the ground and kowtowed on the spot: "Return to the master's words, this slave... go get the Tongcao."

Fu Heng didn't dare to lie, since he met the boat made by Jiang Ning, the officials on the boat must have already told the emperor about him.

The emperor nodded as expected: "I understand."

Fu Heng was stunned: "The slave is guilty, please punish the master."

The emperor hooked his lips, "Since you are going to get Tongcao, I don't blame you. Besides, you have always been the most appropriate in doing things, and I want to see if you pretend to be in your heart, let alone the Qing Dynasty. "

Fu Heng's heart sank, and he hurriedly kowtowed again: "The master has insight into the details. The slave really has the original performance."

The emperor raised his long eyebrows suddenly, his eyes were full of stars: "Speak."

"Qizhuo Shengshang, the slaves traveled all the way through Shandong through the canal, passed Linqing, and encountered an official ship that ran aground."

The emperor finally sat up straight, staring at Fu Heng: "Good little Jiu! What you play is exactly what I want!"

Fu Heng's heart warmed up, and he hurriedly played again: "I remember that in June this year, there was a report from the officials of the water transport, saying that the water in the canal was shallow, which delayed the grain ships in the south of the Yangtze River. They attributed the reason to the excessive cultivation and diversion of water by the people in Linqing. So Shangzuo implored the court to forbid the people to open their mouths to divert water."

The emperor nodded: "Exactly."

Fu Heng kowtowed again: "Based on what I have done and seen this time, I secretly think it is impossible! The shallow water of the canal and the delay of the grain ship going north are indeed urgent for the court; however, farming is also necessary for the livelihood of the people in Linqing. If the court forcibly So if the people are forbidden to open their mouths to divert water, how can thousands of hectares of fertile land be sustained, and how can the livelihood of the people along the way be sustained?"

"That's why I secretly thought that the imperial court could be flexible. Every year, the passage time of grain boats is stipulated. During this period of time, the people along the way are not allowed to open their mouths to divert water, and the water can be reopened after the grain boats pass. The key lies in the local officials. , the imperial court strictly ordered the local officials to investigate the facts carefully and make adjustments as appropriate."

The emperor stared at Fu Heng, suddenly let out a clear smile, and rose up against the table: "What a little Jiu, what you said is exactly what I want! Not only have you done nothing wrong, but you have also made merit!"

Outside the Nuan Pavilion, Mao Tuan'er raised and fell her heart several times.

Before that, he accompanied the emperor and Master Jiu to investigate the flag land. Master Jiu never pretended to be an uncle of the country in front of him. Instead, he always took care of him like an elder brother and told him to be grateful.It was also when he heard that Master Jiu had caused trouble again and came to plead guilty, so he secretly listened outside.

Finally hearing the emperor's conclusion, he quickly raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and muttered to Li Yu in a low voice: "Good master, the apprentice is confused, why did the master say that he didn't blame him when he heard that Master Jiu was going to fetch Tongcao? "

Li Yu patted him: "Boy, why did you forget that the master's wife is the one who loves weeds and flowers the most? Jiuye is so far away, he would rather take the responsibility and go out of Beijing, and it is for the master's wife. Master is like this If you love your master and your wife so much, why do you want to punish Master Nine?"

Mao Tuan'er was overjoyed when he heard this: "Apprentice, thank you, master, for your reminder! It's true, Jiu Ye will always have the gold medal of exoneration of the master's wife. The master's confrontation with Jiu Ye always depends on the face of the master's wife!"
