Chapter 424 Eunuch Wei takes on a big responsibility!

Ministers walked out of the imperial study one after another. However, this time, the court officials also became very subtle. Lin Qiushi walked alone, while the Minister of Personnel Zheng Xuan walked with the Minister of Punishment Cai Ji.

As for Shen Li's surroundings, Zhuge Liang, Chen Qinghe, and Xie Xingxian walked and talked, and from time to time there was a hearty laugh.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yu sat in front of the dragon case in a trance for a while. Although he had expected this result, when Lin Qiushi's attitude was really put in front of him, Emperor Yu couldn't help but sigh.

An old friend who has been working with me for more than ten years.

From today on, he will be separated from me.

"Wei Ying, do you think I am old?"

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life."

"Haha!"

Emperor Yu smiled, looked at Wei Ying deeply, but said calmly: "I have given you so many years, how are your preparations going?"

"Your Majesty, just give me your orders."

Emperor Yu remained silent, staring at the memorials on the dragon case, and then glanced at Wei Ying: "The chess pieces that have been buried for so many years should be moved."

"Check one thing for me first."

"Your Majesty, give me your orders."

"I want to know who is behind Lin Qiushi, Zheng Xuan, Zhao Rui, and Cai Ji."

"As you wish!"

Wei Ying bowed respectfully, and Emperor Yu spoke slowly: "Today From now on, you can take over the secret guards. "

"I hope that the secret guards can become my eyes and ears in your hands."

"Your Majesty, why don't you let that person come forward?"

"Hmph!" Emperor Yu snorted lightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "He still has a grudge about what happened in the past. He has not met me all these years, just to annoy me."

"Check what he has done all these years."

"Yes!"

"In addition, the details of the Tianji Pavilion must be found out. Whenever the Tianji Pavilion enters the world, the world will be in chaos. I want to see what a small underworld force has behind it. "

Wei Ying bowed his body and remained silent. After a moment of hesitation, Emperor Yu said softly: "Is there any movement in the north recently?"

" The Lu family is hiding something very well."

"They have been playing this game for decades, how could they give up so easily?"

"However, His Royal Highness Prince Yong seems to be planning something too!"

"Second Prince?"

Yu Huang showed a hint of surprise on his face, and asked in confusion: "The trivial matters in Huainan are enough to make him exhausted, how can he have the mind to plan for the north?"

"Ahem!"

Wei Ying coughed lightly, carefully observing Yu Huang's face: "Your Majesty, perhaps, the Second Prince is living a more comfortable life than you think?"

"Hahaha!"

Yu Huang laughed and shook his head: "He has Guo Jia and Chen Gong under his command. Even if he is not living a satisfactory life, he will not be unable to move forward. Now that he has been in exile for nearly a year, he must be able to live a comfortable life. We are almost in control of the situation. "

"However, if you ask how comfortable he is, I know it in my heart."

"First, there are the troubles of bandits, and then there are the dictatorships of local tyrants, the forces are complicated, and there are even dangers on the border."

"How can the mess left by the King of Huai for more than 20 years be so easy to clean up?"

It seems that when Ning Fan is mentioned, Emperor Yu's mood will unconsciously improve. He stood up, walked past the dragon table, and put his hands behind his back: "However, now that Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min are going south, he will not have to worry about it."

"Wait until the beginning of next spring, I will go to the south to take a look."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Wei Ying flattered with a smile. If you look closely, it seems that there is a look of interest hidden in his eyes.

...

Huainan.

At the gate of Lingzhou.

Two figures stood in front of the gate for a long time, their faces showing a bit of trance, and they did not speak for a long time.

A winding bluestone road leads directly into Lingzhou from the outside of the city. Carriages pass by steadily on the road, caravans come and go in an endless stream, and pedestrians on the street are all well-dressed and dressed in gorgeous clothes.

To describe it in one sentence: Looking around, there is no poor person on the street!

"Brother Mo, is this really my Dayu Lingzhou City?"

"It should be... right!"

At this moment, the Tianji Pavilion Master also looked at the three big characters hanging high on the city gate with some uncertainty. He couldn't help but stepped forward and stopped a street citizen: "Is this Lingzhou City?"

The farmer carrying a hoe was stunned for a moment, looked back at the three big characters on the tower, and muttered: "He is so handsome, how can he not read?"

"It's Lingzhou City!"

Mo Rufeng seemed to think that his question was a bit idiotic, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He stepped forward and took out a piece of silver from his arms: "Old man, can I ask you a few questions?"

"You are not a spy sent by the enemy country?"

"Uh!"

Mo Rufeng was speechless again. Ning Taisui beside him couldn't help laughing and stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, old man. We don't know about the enemy's spies. We just came to Lingzhou City for the first time and were surprised by the local customs and folkways here. Therefore, we want to ask for advice."

"Haha!"

The old man took the silver and grinned, "If you have any questions, just ask!"

"I will tell you everything I can."

"In that case, thank you very much!"

Mo Rufeng bowed slightly and asked, "Who paved this bluestone road and where does it lead to?"

"Of course it's the government!"

"Hey, when His Royal Highness Prince Yong arrived in Huainan, he planned three longitudinal roads from Julong City in the north of Huainan to the southwest border."

"Now, the first longitudinal lane has been opened to traffic, and the other two will also be opened to traffic before the new year!"

"hiss!"

A look of shock appeared on Ning Taisui's face: "It's at least three to four hundred miles from Julong City to the southwest border. Is it possible that the road is paved with bluestones?"

"certainly!"

"Not only do we need to use bluestone slabs, but before laying the slabs, we must first compact the roadbed, go around mountains and build bridges when encountering water."

"Since the arrival of Prince Yong, our fellow villagers in Huainan have enjoyed great prosperity!"

Seeing the proud look on his father's face, Mo Rufeng frowned and asked, "How many manpower will be needed to build such a long stone road?"

"How can it be completed within half a year?"

"Is it possible that King Yong forced the people to conscript him?"

"Nonsense!"

Ning Taisui's expression also darkened. Being able to build a stone road would certainly be a good thing for the country and the people, but if he didn't care about the life and death of the people, he would be digging his own grave.

But judging from the father-in-law's intention, he doesn't seem to have any complaints. Is there another mystery behind this?

"What kind of forced recruitment of civilians?"

"Whether it was building roads or fortresses, Your Highness has never forced a single villager to do so."

"On the contrary, when I heard that His Highness was going to build a road, the people in Lingzhou City were all trying to get into the engineering team!"

"You two outsiders can just talk in front of me."

"When you enter the city, you must not say that. The spittle of the villagers can drown you."
