Chen Zheng, the minister of Huangmen, arranged for many people to watch at the gate of the imperial city to see how he teased Yun Chu, who was very powerful in Chang'an.
These people didn't have the guts to get too close, and they didn't want to miss this wonderful show, so they consciously or unconsciously appeared at the entrance of the imperial city for various reasons.
As a result, they saw Yun Chu helplessly scratching his head, and they also saw Chen Zheng's head flying around.
Yun Chu's movements of swinging the knife were extremely fast. Even though Chen Zheng's head was severed, he could still speak a few words from his head, which is a miracle on earth.
After Yun Chu returned the sword to its sheath and looked around again, there was no one around.
A wry smile appeared on Yunchu's face... He really didn't want to kill Chen Zheng.
The imperial power allows you to act cheaply. You can only be cheap once at most. If you are cheap twice, you will be considered ignorant.
It is really a waste to use such important power on Chen Zheng.
Now, Chen Zheng's fat body fell on the road, and his head was thrown beside a clump of hay on the roadside. His eyes happened to be pointed in the direction of Yun Chu, with no other expression except confusion.
Yun Chu let out a long sigh, left the imperial city and went to the Wannian County Government Office to immediately give a petition to the emperor, explaining that he had acted so recklessly, and asked the emperor to take back the privilege he had given him to act expediently.
Generally speaking, Chen Zheng used his own life to take away the greatest legal power that Yun Chu could currently control, which cannot be said to be a failure.
Rumors are always one step faster than the wind. When Yun Chu returned to Wannian County, Wu Sansi came out of breath before he even had time to take a sip of water.
"Junhou still killed Chen Zheng after all. I heard he used a horizontal sword?"
Yun Chu replied angrily: "Do your job well, otherwise, I will use a knife on you next time."
Wu Sansi smiled proudly and said: "Xiaguan dug two underground springs. Guess what Xiaguan found underneath?"
Yunchu asked: "Where does the water from the spring come from?"
Wu Sansi smiled and said: "The residence of Chen Zheng, the minister of Huangmen."
Yun Chu's eyes narrowed and he said coldly: "Chen Zheng?"
Wu Sansi said: "There is no water vein below, but a pipeline was found. Xiaguan dug all the way, and finally found that the pipeline led to Chen Zheng's mansion. There was a lotus pond in his house, and the water was taken from the aqueduct on Zhuque Street.
The one that came over also had a beautiful animal head that spits water. When I entered Chen Zheng's home to investigate, I found that there was no water in the lotus pond at their home. All the water passed through the pipe and formed several springs.
After Xiaguan cut off the pipe, the spring stopped spewing water.
Now, it is certain that the Diyongquan was created by this guy Chen Zheng, and now this guy has been killed by the Lord, otherwise we can ask why he did this."
After hearing what Wu Sansi said, Yun Chu clicked his lips and said, "You killed the wrong person."
Wu Sansi said in confusion: "Chen Zhengzu deserves death."
Yun Chu said: "Li Chunfeng should be the one who deserves death. When I was in the imperial city, I was hesitating whether to kill Li Chunfeng to establish his authority or to kill Chen Zheng to establish his authority. I couldn't decide at that time, so I met a fast man.
The dead eunuch. After sawing off this eunuch's legs, the murderous intention in my heart became less. I originally wanted to take a look before talking about it.
As a result, Chen Zheng stood guard at the city gate and provoked me. I endured it three times, but finally I couldn't hold it back and killed him.
Now it seems that Chen Zheng is just a stupid pig who was treated as a sacrifice to take away my power.
It seems that there are experts behind Li Chunfeng. You brothers should be careful when you confront Li Chunfeng in the future. Back then, the Queen used the Dao Sect to do things a lot, and many people were tricked to death."
Wu San thought: "I heard something, but they shouldn't dare to go against the queen."
Yun Chu said calmly: "Take it slowly. Now, report to Your Majesty the Du Shui Order's random filling of pipelines in Chang'an in preparation for creating panic. I remember that you have the right to report secretly."
Wu Sansi sighed and said, "Who doesn't?"
After Wu Sansi left, Yun Chu closed the door of the public house, rubbed his hands, and began to cook jars of tea for himself on this cold day. He watched the yellow rock sugar slowly melting in the boiling water. Yun Chu's words
He just took a sip. The yellow rock sugar was very sweet, which relieved the bitterness in his mouth.
He had to deal with these trivial matters all day long, which consumed a lot of his time and attention. How could he have time to consider Changan's new development strategy?
However, Yun Chu was still very pleased when he saw Yao Chong.
"Jun Hou, after four years of planning, the Yellow River Ring Line has achieved preliminary results."
The boy who was originally a boy with pink makeup has now grown into a strong, dark-faced young man, and his speaking voice is much calmer than the high-spiritedness of his youth.
"Most of the Yellow River in Longzhong is located in high mountains and canyons. Although the water is abundant, it is almost unusable. Fortunately, the Yellow River rolls all the way down with a large height difference. This is very beneficial for building artesian canals, which can irrigate some farmland.
, Furthermore, using waterwheels to draw water from the Yellow River from the canyon to irrigate farmland has been very effective. Although it cannot create a fertile field thousands of miles away, it is still feasible to expand outward based on village settlements.
The most important thing is that Xiaguan discovered that the land along the Yellow River is very fertile, but the land is fragmented and difficult to manage uniformly.
In these places, the power of the clan is greater than the constraints of the government, which is also a problem we have to face next."
Yun Chu listened quietly while Yao Chong spoke slowly. Unknowingly, the whole day was spent in such pleasantries.
Regarding Yao Chong's actions along the Yellow River, Yunchu basically did not interfere too much. In terms of the current political situation, Yunchu's excessive involvement would only destroy Yao Chong's achievements.
The main reason why Yunchu wanted to develop along the Yellow River was that the villages there were sparsely distributed, the mountains were high, and the ditches were deep, making it difficult to communicate with the outside world.
Especially along the Yellow River in Longzhong, time seems to pass slower there than in Chang'an. Just when the people of Chang'an are celebrating that the Tang Dynasty is invincible, the people deep in the Longzhong Canyon still think that their emperor's surname is Yang
, the country was named Sui Dynasty.
This is the escape route that Yunchu left for his side. Sometimes the imperial power is not as omnipresent as the emperor thought.
"My father has been an official in Xiongjin Prefecture for four years. Can he return?"
When leaving, Yao Chong looked at Yun Chu with a smile, as if he didn't care much about Yun Chu's decision to send his father to serve as an official in Baekje.
"Your father took office as the deposed deputy envoy of Yingzhou a year ago. This should be his dream position. He should not be in a hurry to come back. Besides, what should he do in Chang'an when he returns to Luoyang now? It is better to stay in the local area and be safe.
Why, your father didn't tell you?"
Yao Chong sighed and said: "This year, I have been staying by the Yellow River. Watching the river start to turn yellow in the spring, and then turn clear in the winter, it is like entering another world, and I don't know how many directions there are in the world.
."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "That's what people who really do things are like this. You just need to think about bringing those people who have lived in the Peach Blossom Spring into the Tang Dynasty for a long time. From this point of view, you will not hesitate to expand the territory."
Yao Chong shook his head and said: "The Peach Blossom Spring is not that good. Rather than saying that they are people from the Peach Blossom Spring, it is better to say that they are a group of people abandoned by the Tang Dynasty.
In the past, these people avoided war and the fierce taxes and taxes. They would rather live among tigers and wolves and live next to poisonous insects than accept the jurisdiction of the court. They hid in the poor mountains and ravines. Although they lived in poverty and hardship, they could barely survive.
.
After Xianguan entered the Yellow River this time, the people he saw avoided me like ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. If I hadn't used food as bait and salt and linen as bridges, I wouldn't have been able to contact these people at all.
Even so, after accepting our good intentions, these people also said something, which is not enough for outsiders.
The princes often say, "Do good deeds without worrying about the future." The lower official believes that not all the villages along the Yellow River may be under the jurisdiction of the Tang Prefecture. Some people think that once they are incorporated into the prefecture, these people who have not paid taxes for decades will
There will definitely be oppression from the imperial court.
If so, what was Xiaguan’s original intention in visiting the people along the Yellow River?”
Yun Chu nodded and said, "If a certain family doesn't tell you about your father's promotion and fortune, you're not going to tell me the truth, are you?"
Yao Chong raised his hands in salute without changing his expression and said: "This is the normal state of officialdom. Given the great love that a prince has for his subordinates, he will definitely forgive him."
Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said: "You are eating me to death. Don't do this again next time. This time, just as you said, cooperate with the Longzhong government selectively."
Seeing Yao Chongchunfeng leaving triumphantly, a smile appeared on Yunchu's face.
Yes, Yao Chong asked for exactly what he wanted.
Although this boy is smart, he is still young after all. He only knows that he has visited the remnants along the Yellow River, but he does not know that those who followed him are all Yun's shopkeepers and guys.
After being together for four years, even if Yao Chong is smart enough, he will still be affected by the collective, not to mention that the group of people are all his companions who have been with him through life and death.
A smart person hates others forcing him to do things. Therefore, Yunchu asked Yao Chong to get what he wanted and set the goals he wanted. Then there would be no problem. Yao Chong would definitely do it.
He hides a large part of his remnant's secrets deep in his heart and will touch himself for the rest of his life.
The development of the Yellow River Ring Line was initiated by Liushuipaizi. The purpose was to make use of the Yellow River water transportation and find supply points for water transportation. As long as water transportation starts on the Yellow River, the purpose of Liushuipaizi will be achieved. As for
There were some unknown village affairs in the middle. They were busy making money and they probably didn't care to take charge of it.
The consequences of Yunchu's execution of Chen Zheng in the street finally came.
In Luoyang, Yun Chu was attacked by the ministers. Even Gentle and Di Renjie were dissatisfied with Yun Chu's domineering behavior and unanimously asked the emperor to take back the authority given to Yun Chu to act cheaply. After weighing for three days, the prince and the queen finally removed Yun Chu from acting cheaply.
All the memorials of his power were sent to Jiucheng Palace, where they were judged by the emperor.
Emperor Li Zhi, who had only one eye left, saw the mountain-like pile of impeachment memorials. He flipped through two of them and asked Ruichun, "Why did Yunchu kill Chen Zheng?"
Ruichun said without hesitation: "Chen Zheng killed sixty-seven palace slaves and dumped their corpses in counties and cities for thousands of years."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that the reason?"
Ruichun said: "That's why."
Li Zhi threw the memorial in his hand heavily on the table and said angrily: "I personally gave Yun Chu the power to act cheaply, but the two hundred and fifty were wasted just to kill Chen Zheng?
Are there any other reasons?
Yun Chu was forced to flee with his whole family in Luoyang without using this power, so is Chen Zheng worthy of it?"
Facing the furious emperor, Ruichun wiped the light sweat from his forehead and whispered: "Chang'an has been relatively peaceful recently, and Yun Chu is trying his best to eliminate the impact of the killings in the imperial city on Chang'an.
They even did not hesitate to use many of their own properties as bait to make the people of Chang'an focus on the Yun family's self-destruction. Nowadays, the people of Chang'an are very busy opening restaurants, opening shops, distilling wine and making anti-virus drugs.
, so much so that the matter spread to cities such as Luoyang, Chengdu, Yangzhou, etc., and restaurants, shops, and breweries similar to Yun's appeared one after another.
This servant...privately thinks that killing Chen Zheng may not be Yun Chu's way of taking the initiative to hand over power."
Li Zhi thought for a moment and categorically denied: "Yun Chu has always been domineering. If you want to be domineering, you must have the power to make others fearful. One of them is to act cheaply.
At the same time, everyone, including Yun Chu himself, should also understand that the so-called cheap thing can only be done once, and doing it again is overstepping. With my understanding of Yun Chu, killing Chen Zheng... Humph, it is really overkill.
.
Send Yunchu's memorial and let me take a look at it. There must be something strange in it that I haven't discovered yet."
The chamberlain immediately hurriedly brought all the memorials that Yunchu had written to the emperor after returning to Chang'an. Li Zhi closed his eyes and listened to the secretary's trembling recitation...
If only Yunchu had come forward to ask for the handover of power, the emperor would not have gone into such a big fight. Now, everyone is suggesting that the emperor cancel this power. There is a big problem here.
After listening to Yunchu's chapter, Li Zhi's eyes became a little confused. He always felt that there should be something in it that he had not noticed.
He was not in good spirits and could not think deeply, so he directly said to Ruichun: "Send Yunchu a private message and ask him why he eliminated such an important power from Chen Zheng instead of doing something bigger."
thing."
Ruichun said: "This..."
Li Zhi turned around and said, "I, the emperor, are now feared, but Yun Chu still believes in Li Zhi."
After hearing this, Ruichun did not dare to delay any longer, so she went down and wrote to Yunchu in Li Zhi's tone.
Li Zhi sighed, leaned against the belly of the giant bear and whispered: "Everyone in the world thinks that I am too fond of Yun Churong, but they don't know that I am old and weak now and need a tiger to protect me.
, if a tiger has no claws, is it still a tiger?”
