He Lingchuan picked a grape and put it into his mouth: "After the King's Birthday Ceremony, I rarely go out. I travel between Yongquan Villa and Youhu Villa every day. I don't dare to go to places that are too busy."
After everyone heard this, they smiled unconsciously.
Yes, he has offended the prison country so much that he must pay attention to his own personal safety.
He Xiao's fame and favor all come at a price.
But he then said: "Tell me, I heard that the event was unprecedented."
Everyone started chatting about the Flying Flower Festival.
It sounds indeed more grand than the Yao King's longevity ceremony. Temples in various places even distribute "Linghui cakes", which are rice cakes made in advance especially for this program. They are left in the temple and those who eat the rice cakes can
With the blessing of the goddess, even the refugees in Tianshui City can receive it.
On the night of the celebration, a golden spiritual rain fell from the sky above Tianshui City, and the fragrance was astonishing. Those who were washed by the spiritual rain had their major illnesses reduced to minor illnesses, minor ailments disappeared, their ailments healed, and they felt refreshed.
This is the grace sent down by the goddess herself. But——
He Lingchuan asked in a low voice: "I heard that this time's spiritual rain is shorter than in previous years?"
He has seen the records of previous years, "gold rain is like pulp", which means it is very sticky.
But what he had experienced at Yongquan Villa a few days ago was just a chill on the head and it was over, with only a few raindrops in total.
Isn’t this quite different from previous records?
The dinner was quiet for a while. Fan Shuang said dryly: "It's a little short, maybe it's an accident."
Of course it's not an accident. The civilians don't understand, but everyone here understands.
This time, Yaoguo had tried its best to organize the Flying Flower Festival, but God Miaozhan expressed her dissatisfaction in this way. This festival was originally supposed to be held in the new temple, but due to the slow progress of the project, the new temple was never built.
He Lingchuan also made a special trip to visit the half-toned temple project. It was very large and magnificent. It seemed like you could hear the sound of money being thrown at every carefully crafted corner. Standing in the large square, standing on the layers of
In front of the building, people are like a drop in the ocean...
But it's not finished yet, and it's only less than a third completed.
If you ask him, the temple is in ruins.
Even the gods can't tolerate this kind of bad ending.
He Lingchuan can especially understand the difficulty of King Yao. The national treasury is too empty. But for the gods, Yao Kingdom, as the strongest country in the flash gold, actually has to delay the completion of even a mere temple for two or three years. What can it do to the gods?
How much respect and love is there?
Love is not just words, it must be shown with practical actions.
The love of the Yaoting monarchs and ministers is obviously not up to standard with the gods.
If there is too little spiritual rain, the effect on the human body will be mediocre, and everyone will feel it intuitively.
The civilians were both disappointed and frightened. Although they did not understand what was going on, they could feel Miao Zhantian's dissatisfaction.
"The goddess is angry, angry with us! It must be because we didn't do a good job, it must be because Wang Ting didn't do a good job!"
On the day after the Flying Flower Festival, major temples were busy and crowded with believers who went to repent and ask for atonement;
The dissatisfaction among the people also put great pressure on Yaoting.
Gu Xuan coughed lightly: "My king has ordered that the new main temple must be completed within five months!"
Obviously King Yao also wanted to ease the relationship with the gods.
Yu Wenxu responded: "Chief Liang must have exerted a lot of force. The king has not been on good terms with him recently. I heard that he went to see you, and there were several quarrels in the imperial study room..."
Yu Wenyong nudged his brother with his elbow: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is something you can criticize?"
Yu Wenxu sneered and then shut up.
He drank too much and became lax with his mouth.
The goddess understands the Yao Kingdom, most of the time through Ambassador Liang. Don’t forget that Ambassador Liang’s biological son was dealt with by King Yao just a few days ago, and his post in the Manufacturing Department was also removed. Ambassador Liang can be heard by the goddess.
Speak well of him?
Reflecting on the Feihua Festival this time, the celebration hosted by Yao Kingdom was grand, but the queen and the temple behaved insipidly and coldly.
He Lingchuan brought up the topic at the right time, and everyone chatted while eating. It wasn't until the middle of the month that they finally left happily.
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Yan went into the palace to see King Yao and relayed He Lingchuan's words exactly.
King Yao stroked his beard: "Oh? He boasted about Haikou, saying that he could expand the capital and fill the treasury at the same time?"
"Yes, solve the dilemma yourself."
"Oh, what a dilemma to solve." King Yao asked him, "What's the solution?"
"I didn't mention it during the dinner. He said I should think about it carefully."
"Think about it carefully? Excuse! He is afraid that if you learn it, this job will not fall on him." King Yao sneered, "This kid is really greedy. The money he earned from Youhu Villa is still
It can't satisfy his appetite! This time he turned around and thought about the expansion of the capital again."
Zhang Yan asked: "Does the king intend to let He Xiao..."
King Yao rolled his eyelids: "You can even ask this? He is an outsider!"
The implication is, what qualifications does He Xiao have to take charge of such an important project?
In a remote place like Youhu, He Xiao could make millions of taels; if he took over the expansion of Tianshui City, how much money would he make?
Being capable means being capable, and being greedy is also really greedy.
Yao Country is not He Xiao's money-making den, so how can he give money to an outsider like this?
But this man often had fantastic ideas, and King Yao wanted to hear his method. If the method was good, he would have so many loyal men who could execute it.
…
In the afternoon, He Lingchuan went to Youhu to inspect the construction site.
Picking a time when no one was around, the soul-capturing mirror also asked He Lingchuan:
"Zhang Yan must go to King Yao to report it. Hey, do you think King Yao can let you preside over the eastward expansion of Tianshui City?"
"Naive!" He Lingchuan saw clearly, "I made money in Youhu, and King Yao was not happy. The eastward expansion of the capital is a huge project. How much oil and water is involved? No outsider can imagine this kind of fat loss.
If the arrangement was to give me an outsider instead of King Yao's confidants, haha, those ministers wouldn't be able to cause trouble?"
At this point, he said again: "I understand. Qingyang strongly opposed it, maybe because the benefits of the eastward expansion of the capital were too great. Everyone wanted to join the construction team appointed by King Yao, and everyone wanted to start from this super project.
If you get a share of the project, the power of the Natural Yao King will be further enhanced."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he thought of this, his thoughts suddenly became clear: "Qingyang is clearly far more capable than King Yao, but here he is holding his elbow. I finally understand why."
"Why?"
"Because, Qingyang really has no project in hand!" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Look, if King Yao approves a piece of land, I can build Youhu Villa, and if I make up my mind, I can start the expansion plan of Tianshui City. The subjects want to be loyal
, if they want to make money, they can find projects from King Yao. As long as they get the right project, they can be promoted and make a fortune. What do you think Qingyang has in her hands? She only has the power of prosecution. Even if the subjects below want to follow her, she
There are no projects for people to do, so they can’t get anything done and they can’t make money.”
Everything in the world is for profit.
What's the use of just showing off your authority? You have to make people make money or gain a future before they are willing to follow you.
He Lingchuan came to a conclusion: "The most frightening thing is that King Yao has realized this now. From now on, Qingyang will only be pushed further and further, and in the end he will lose even his supervisory power."
Originally, Qingyang's supervision of hundreds of officials relied heavily on the mutual suspicion and reporting between officials. Now they have gathered around King Yao in large numbers. Not only are they monolithic, they also work together to stand opposite her.
In this situation, is there any use in supervision?
Can power that is not revered by others still be called power?
"This kind of confrontation is not fierce, but it will naturally push Qingyang out of Yaoguo's official system, and it will be astonishingly fast." Jing Jing asked: "Will she let it go?"
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Although Qingyang is shrewd, this change in the political situation should have taken shape before she could react."
It's not that Qingyang wants to let it go, but that she can't get involved.
"But Qingyang also has her own mission when she comes to Yao Kingdom. If she can't complete it, she won't be able to explain it to her superiors." He paused, "The most important thing is that Qingyang also has someone to rely on, that is, there is someone standing behind her.
The Northern Demon Kingdom! Well, even Miao Zhantian might help her."
The mirror asked curiously: "Hey? How do you know?"
"The eldest son of King Yao was involved in the elixir case and died in Lingxu City, so there was a personal enmity between King Yao and Qingyang. The emperor of the Demon Kingdom knew this, and sent Qingyang here to supervise the country, and asked her to exert herself.
He is capable of defeating Yao Kingdom. Hey, if Qingyang has no help here at all, then he is not here to support his old age, but to die."
"But there are very few forces on the Golden Flash Plain that can directly affect King Yao, so I speculate that it may be the gods." He Lingchuan said seriously, "As long as she gets the support of the gods - such as Miao Zhantian - and King Yao
It’s very powerful to deal with it.”
The mirror suddenly said: "According to this, you are in danger."
"Even if she kills me, she can't change the current situation in Tianshui City."
The kings and ministers of the Yao Kingdom were watching He Lingchuan's techniques with wide eyes. What could they not learn? Even if Qingyang could kill him, the Yao King only needed to change someone else, and the project of Youhu Villa could continue.
The mirror said, "Even if it's just to vent your anger, she will have to kill you. If there is no price for offending her, who will be afraid of her in the future?"
He Lingchuan thought for a long time and then murmured: "You are right. If Qingyang can kill me, not only can he resolve the old and new grudges, but he can also let the Manchu civil and military officials take a good look at her and Bejia.
The consequences of opposing one’s will!”
He'd better go and get an amulet.
…
Early the next morning, He Lingchuan was summoned to the palace.
He entered the palace more frequently than most of King Yao's courtiers. When the people in the palace saw him coming again, they all saluted him with smiles on their faces.
Passing by Yuquan Palace, he saw two crabapples planted beside the cold spring.
If you want the seedlings to survive, you have to plant them during the hottest period. However, He Lingchuan has already seen the frost forming on the leaves, and he expects that the fate of these two crabapples will be disastrous.
A melon that is forced will not be sweet, and a tree that is planted by force will not survive.
King Yao was enjoying breakfast. When he saw He Lingchuan, he waved: "Come here, have something with me."
