Qing court ladies

Chapter 75
Although Gui'an was angry, he knew that saving his life was the most important thing at this time, so he was busy pulling Suyue to run in the direction of the car. The man in black who was besieging behind had already changed direction and came towards the car. Li Dequan and the guards were fighting with the man in black It's just that there are many fewer people in black now, so it's not difficult to deal with them.

Few of the men in black in the front were killed, Li Dequan and the guards were on the side of the car to kill, and the big brother and a few guards were besieging behind. The people killed the last few people, and captured the person who shot the cold arrow behind him, and also came to join the car and captured the four men in black alive.

"Long Live Lord, the assassin has been captured, please Long Live Lord make a decision" Li Dequan threw down the blood knife in his hand and reported to the driver.

"Take it back for strict interrogation, we must find out who is behind the scenes." Kangxi's deep voice came from the car, Li Dequan took the order, and asked the guards to take them away. After the guards dragged them away, they found the men in black limp on the ground. He had already committed suicide by taking poison, and when he moved, black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Long live, they committed suicide by taking poison." Li Dequan stepped forward to check one by one, and they were all out of breath.

"Bang" came a sound from the car "go back"

Back at the palace, Kangxi was in the lobby with the prince and ministers, the marks on Su Yue's face were too obvious, she explained a few words to Gui'an, and then went back to the room, it was still cold in February, and the water from the well was applied to the burning On the face, it was even more uncomfortable, the corners of the mouth were broken, there were blood stains around the lips, and the water for gargling was also red when spit out.

When the bleeding in her mouth stopped, Su Yue covered her face with a handkerchief and sat in front of the dressing table, half of her face was already swollen.Fortunately, Liu Qi prepared a lot of medicine for Suyue, and it happened that there was a cure for this, so Suyue quickly rubbed some, and it was cold, so she felt a little more comfortable on her face.

Su Yue looked at herself in the mirror, half of her face was swollen like a pig's head, her finger prints were very clear, one could imagine how many hands Yinzhen had laid, and one could also imagine how angry he was.Although Su Yue didn't know why she was slapped, but looking at the raging anger in Yin Zhen's eyes, Su Yue knew that maybe she did something wrong to make him so angry and hit herself.But knowing it all, she still felt uncomfortable. She had never been slapped before, let alone being slapped in front of so many people.If it wasn't for the confusion at the time, and I was stunned again, I would probably have slapped him too, Su Yue was depressed, the feeling of being slapped was really uncomfortable, and the person who was slapped was Yinzhen, although it wouldn't hold grudges , but angry, anger is still there, I wish I could shake him a few times to relieve my anger.

Kangxi discussed the matter until sunset, Gui'an came to ask Suyue to go, but although her face got better, she was still a little embarrassed, Suyue was a little embarrassed, and asked if she could not go, Gui'an laughed.

"Grandma, do you think everyone doesn't know? Hurry up, Lord Long Live is waiting?" Gui'an looked at Su Yue's face, it was not so red, but the fingerprints were still there, the swelling subsided a little, and half of her face was still the same. Like Baozi, he secretly scolded Yinzhen a few words in his heart.

Su Yue exhaled heavily, covered half of her face with a handkerchief, and followed Gui'an to see Kangxi.Kangxi is in the palace. The palace here has been built for a long time, and it is slightly smaller than the later palace, but the hall for discussion and Kangxi's residence are still relatively large.

Kangxi was sitting on the couch, looking at the folder in his hand, Li Dequan greeted Suyue with a smile, retreated, and closed the door.

"How's your face?" Kangxi put down the booklet, turned to look at Su Yue who covered her face with a handkerchief and lowered her head.

"It's okay." Su Yue was a little embarrassed, being slapped in the face by everyone, and everyone knew about it, and the most important thing was to bring this to meet people. She really wanted to dig the ground and bury herself, it was too embarrassing.

Kangxi snorted coldly, "I think you should fight." At the beginning, he also wanted to do this, but at that time, Su Yue's life was hanging by a thread, and he really couldn't bear it, so he could only suppress the panic and anger in his heart.completely overwhelmed by worry.

Su Yue raised her head in surprise, looked at Kangxi, and didn't quite understand "why?" She didn't know what she had done wrong, and even Kangxi thought she should hit her. She was afraid that Kangxi would take revenge on Yinzhen because Yinzhen beat her, but it turned out that she was in vain. worried.In this way, Yinzhen should be rewarded for helping him fight.

"Suyue, although you are soft-hearted, you are the most indifferent emotionally. Of course you don't understand." Kangxi complained a little, but the most was helplessness.

Su Yue felt that what Kangxi said today was too difficult to understand. She didn't understand how and where her feelings became indifferent.Su Yue was in a hurry, she took off her handkerchief, sat opposite Kangxi, and watched Kangxi, "My servant doesn't understand the words of the Lord Long Live, so I ask the Lord Long Live to enlighten me, so that the servant girl can understand."

Kangxi ignored Su Yue's gaze and said secretly in his heart, "You look good to everyone. When you are soft-hearted, your feelings are extremely sincere, but emotionally, no one has ever lived in your heart. You don't love anyone, not even yourself. , the heart is surrounded by iron and stone, water and fire are invulnerable, swords and guns are invulnerable' But in the end I didn't say a word, I just sighed.

Seeing that Kangxi didn't reply for a while, Suyue was a little anxious, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Kangxi, "You have seen the situation of Yongding River. I asked you if there is a good plan. You said you have to see it before you know it. Now you don't know." have a thought"

Su Yue didn't turn the corner for a while, and it took a while to realize that Kangxi didn't want to talk about it. In this case, she was afraid that she would ask, but she would not have an answer.And seeing the Yongding River today, I do have some thoughts in my heart, "My servant feels that blindly building high dams is not a good strategy. The main thing is to dredge the river channel and lower the river bed. Slow flow is also very important."

Kangxi nodded, "Li Guangdi also said, but it takes time to slow down the flow, and it is not easy to dredge the river to lower the river bed. The current Yongding River is turbulent, and the depth of the water is as high as more than ten feet. Palliative, but it is also the most effective way now.”

"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, why not treat the symptoms and treat the root cause at the same time?" Su Yue asked rhetorically, Kangxi's concern was that at least he had spent so much effort and couldn't let it break the embankment, but the embankment was built one foot and the water was two feet deep. Chase, how to catch up.

Kangxi immediately came to the spirit and asked "how to cure"

Su Yue felt embarrassed, "The maidservant has a method, but it is not necessarily applicable to the governance of the Yongding River. It is appropriate to need professional people to revise the plan according to my proposal."

Kangxi immediately ordered "Li Dequan, Zhao Yinzhen, Li Guangdi, the governor of the river, Wang Xinming, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Heshuozi, to meet immediately."

Su Yue was shocked, "Did Long Live let the servants discuss with them?"

"This is the best way." These four people know the situation of Yongding River best, so it is natural to discuss with them.

"Long live the lord, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, I am afraid that slaves will die without a place to bury them." Su Yue was impeached by officials before for interfering in politics. Although Kangxi dealt with Zizhu immediately at that time, it left too much shadow in Su Yue's heart. She was careful, and never dared to let other people except Kangxi and Li Dequan know that she was involved in these things. Now that Kangxi let her openly discuss political affairs with officials, didn't she let her die.If she is impeached again, Kangxi, a Ming emperor, might not give up his reputation as a Qianqiu foundation to keep her a little maid.

"This matter is not considered a political matter, let alone you are now a maid of honor, you can make an imperial edict, and it is not a big problem to bring up some ideas for river governance." Kangxi didn't take the word "harem meddling" seriously. Although the courtiers would not tolerate it, Kangxi himself Xiaozhuang was accompanied by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang when he was young, and he had a lot of discussions with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang on political affairs, so there was no such prejudice.As long as it is for the name of the country, it doesn't matter who mentions it, not to mention that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it is only to restrict those harem women to do things for private purposes.

Su Yue gave up arguing with Kangxi. In fact, it depends on how you look at it. It has always been like this, so why bother.

All the accompanying people live in the palace, and everyone has arrived for a cup of tea. After paying his respects, Kangxi said, "The Yongding River has been governed for many years. Building dams cost a lot, but it did not prevent the river from flooding. From 37 years to the present, it has cost It is huge, but it is still not beneficial to the people. I have some ideas about surveying the river today, and I will discuss it with you. Su Yue, start now."

Su Yue received the decree, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, so Su Yue was just passing on the word from generation to generation, and she was not interfering in politics anyway.

"What Long Live Lord means is that the root cause must be cured to treat the symptoms. To cure the symptoms is to build dams now, but the dams are getting higher and higher, but they still cannot withstand the surge of the river. Therefore, the main thing is to cure the root causes. It is to comb the river to make the river unobstructed. Residential houses built on the riverbed on both sides of the river should not occupy the river. Slow flow means slow flow. The best way is to build branches. Many places in Yongding River are surrounded by fertile fields. If other The canal, passing through the fertile fields, can not only slow down the flow of river water, but also provide convenience for the people. Lowering is to lower the river bed, and the height of the river bed must be lowered. This is much stronger than building embankments, but it is also the most difficult, because lowering the river bed requires Clean up the river bed, the river is turbulent, and to lower the river bed, choose a place with shallow water, and use the principle of flowing water to carry river sand and soil to lower the river bed and clean it up." Su Yue finished speaking in one breath, feeling four hot gazes, and almost bit her Tongue.

"If this method is implemented, there will be no future troubles for the Yongding River." Li Guangdi was very excited. Although he also had ideas in his heart, they were not comprehensive. Now that he heard it, his doubts were cleared up.

Yinzhen frowned slightly, "This matter is easy to say, and the method is good, but it may not be successful in practice. It's okay to dredge. The Yongding River has not been occupied by the riverbed. This point has been solved. Slowly it is a huge project. The place selected by the branch will inevitably involve the people's fields and houses. If the river bed is still high, it is not in the flood season, which will increase the risk of flooding. How much, if a river bed has just been lowered, but the river surges, isn’t it still in vain, and the downstream is a little more dangerous.”

Su Yue frowned, she really didn't think about it, but she is really not good at water conservancy, if she can draw the gate, just like the water conservancy project in the previous life, there is a gate to block the water, and the river bed will be cleaned later, it will be much more convenient.
