Chapter 865 Yun Chu, who is devoted to the public good
After Li Zhi received a thick stack of secret notes from Yun Chu, he opened a corner and took a look, then kicked everyone present out. This time, even Ruichun did not stay.
Because the characters written in Yunchu's memorials were large, the paper used was also large, which made his memorials look more like calligraphy works.
Li Zhi has never been able to read Yunchu's calligraphy. In his opinion, Yunchu's handwriting just barely looks neat, without any calligraphy artistic accomplishment.
Unlike his handwriting, which was as profound as Emperor Taizong's Fei Bai, many of the edicts written by him were collected by his ministers and became family heirlooms.
Yunchu rarely wrote lengthy memorials to the emperor. The main reason was that every time the emperor received his memorial, he would criticize his writing with lengthy criticisms, and sometimes even verbally
Bad words are unacceptable.
As for the content of his memorial, the emperor rarely commented on it. At most, he only said "I understand".
It was the same this time. The emperor laid out the secret memorial written by Yun Chu on the big paper on the ground in order with his own hands. He stepped on the memorial with his bare feet and said while reading: "It's dry and has no literary talent at all."
.”
After he finished reading the secret memorial, he became clear about Yun Chu's worries. He put away Yun Chu's secret memorial, carried it outside the palace in person, and ordered Ruichun to bring a torch to burn it.
Seeing that the sealed memorial turned into paper dust, Li Zhicai said to Ruichun: "Is the Yellow River frozen?"
Ruichun said quickly: "We've just started. It's estimated that in another month, it will be pedestrian-friendly on the ice."
Li Zhi asked again: "Is there ever a winter flood in Bianzhou?"
Ruichun cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, the ice and snow will melt in March, and there will be a peach blossom flood."
"What kind of disaster is the peach blossom flood?"
"Your Majesty, every year from late March to early April, the ice in the upper reaches of the Yellow River melts and forms a spring flood. When it flows downstream, it coincides with the blooming of peach blossoms in the mountains along the coast, so it is called the "Peach Blossom Flood."
During most of the period, the Yellow River only swells, but there are also some weather anomalies, where ice falls from the upper reaches but the ice in the lower reaches has not melted, causing freezing floods. The ice can form ice dams on the river, eventually causing the river to overflow."
"Is there any way to prevent and cure it?"
Ruichun thought for a while and said: "Ling floods are not common, so there is no way to prevent them."
Li Zhi sighed and said, "Publish my decree and move to Puyang in three days."
Ruichun didn't say much and faithfully carried out the emperor's will. The emperor was leaving Bianzhou, which was a big event. Among them, just the movement of the army was a very serious matter. Especially when setting off from Bianzhou to reach Puyang, one had to walk
Three hundred miles away, the emperor's presence on the road could only be placed in the wild, which required the army to formulate an extremely strict defense plan.
Li Zhi stared blankly at the paper ash on the ground which was turned into a black ball by the eunuchs with water. Then he returned to the palace hall. He sat alone in the empty hall, holding the ear of the giant bear, and placed it next to the ear of the giant bear.
He said softly: "Actually, it's not bad. There are still people who don't want me to die and are still worried about my safety."
Naturally, the giant bear couldn't understand what the emperor said, but his ears were itchy from the hot breath exhaled by the emperor. He thought the emperor was playing with him, so he raised a pair of huge paws and hugged Li Zhi's arm.
He stood up and pressed his fat head against Li Zhi's chin.
Li Zhi stretched out his arms and hugged the giant bear's neck and said grimly: "Then I will comply with your wishes and leave Bianzhou first. It's just that this Bianzhou needs to be cleaned more cleanly than other places."
Li Hong read the letter sent by Master, and then turned it over to see if Master had any other secret words. He checked the letter, the envelope, and specifically asked the messenger. As a result, in Master's letter
, what he said was that he wanted to visit Zhengzhou, and he had new knowledge to teach him. There was no other explanation.
He felt that the matter was not as simple as what Master said in his letter, so he took the letter and went to see Xu Jingzong.
After Xu Jingzong read Yunchu's letter, his expression changed drastically, and he said to Prince Li Hong in a hurried tone: "The journey from Bianzhou to Zhengzhou is only one hundred and fifty miles. The prince is in strong health and can reach there in one day by horse. We should hurry up."
go."
Li Hong said in confusion: "Master said something big happened?"
Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "It must be an urgent matter. Prince, please go and come back quickly."
Li Hongdao: "What knowledge is so important?"
Xu Jingzong said: "I don't know at the moment, but I think there must be something big happening in Yunchu that the prince doesn't know about here. Go quickly, go quickly, don't delay."
Li Hong immediately stood up and said, "I will leave immediately after I report to my father."
Xu Jingzong thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. It should be Yun Chu's request to show His Majesty Ming to cross the Ming Road."
Immediately, Li Hong hurriedly took Yunchu's letter to see the emperor.
Li Zhi took a look at Yunchu's letter to the prince and said: "Then go. The great cannibal Mohammed said that although knowledge is far away in China, I still seek it. Since your master has developed new knowledge
, it’s only a hundred and fifty miles away, of course I should go.”
After Li Hong received the letter of approval from his father, he hurriedly left the emperor's palace.
Li Zhi sat in the thick pile of furs, watching the prince's retreating back, and once again grabbed the giant bear's ear and said: "You see, this is the difference between closeness and distance. The prince is his disciple, so he is afraid of being framed by traitors."
, just wanted to protect him firmly by his side, but on my side, he only asked me to run quickly, it was really a two hundred and fifty, he had forgotten that everything he had was given by me. "
This time, not only the giant bear heard the emperor's words, but Ruichun also heard it. After hesitating for a while, Ruichun intervened and said: "Your Majesty, do you need any slaves..."
Li Zhi waved his hand impatiently and said: "Baiqisi is sometimes a bunch of trash. They only know how to fight for power and profit, but they are useless in doing business. I want you to supervise the freezing of the Yellow River. Have you come up with the results?"
Ruichun said: "In Jiyang, the ice on both sides of the river is still six feet away from the center of the river, and in Bianzhou, the ice is only three feet away from the river bank. I asked the old river worker for advice, and the river worker said: It will freeze within five days."
River surface."
Li Zhi snorted coldly and said: "Until now, there is still no clue about what I want you to investigate. Do you know that someone is already planning to use the Yellow River's flood to murder me."
Ruichun was startled and said, "This is my slave's fault."
Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "My master has already begun to pull out the disciples who are in danger. You still say you don't know. Do you mean you won't know until Bianzhou City is frozen?"
"
Ruichun looked confused, but he still knelt down to accept the crime.
Li Zhi sighed and said: "I know that you have been reviewing the Tonggui report letter during this period. Do you think this matter is very troublesome?"
Ruichun smiled bitterly and said: "Since six days ago, the copper gui that was placed at the gate of the Governor's Mansion has received too many reports, among which the one for imprisoning Zhang Xiangxiang was the most.
After the slaves delivered these letters of accusation to the censor's desk, they unexpectedly stirred up a hornet's nest. The censors took the letters of accusation and questioned Baiqisi, and some censors directly asked if the people of Baiqisi were idiots.
If not, even Zhang Xiangxiang’s debauchery and the absurd story of Yu Yubainu would be sent to the Yushitai as evidence.”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said: "You mean that many people are now starting to falsely accuse Zhang Xiangxiang?"
Ruichun frowned and said: "Judging from the current accusation letters, Zhang Xiangxiang has become the target of millions of people beating him. There is no need to send out a lot of manpower to distinguish the authenticity of these accusations.
Many people who vowed to report Zhang Xiangxiang have not found this person."
Li Zhidao: "Aren't these reports real-name reports?"
Ruichun sighed and said: "Thirty percent of the reports were real-name reports, but the content was ridiculous. After reporting Zhang Xiangxiang, the reporter committed suicide with his sword. In the eyes of slaves, these people are more like dead soldiers than ordinary people.
"
"What did Yushitai say?"
Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to be angry, Ruichun accompanied him and said carefully: "Among the hundreds of reports, only one or two seem to be true, and most of these true stories are trivial matters. Even if there are one or two,
For corruption, at most it can be punished by a fine of copper, but it cannot reach the level of imprisoning Zhang Xiangxiang and his whole family."
Li Zhi sighed and said: "As soon as the bronze gui came out, I knew that the people in the court would be panicked. They would be determined to save Zhang Xiangxiang this time, so that no one would take action when they encounter corruption."
Ruichun asked in a low voice: "In that case, I wonder what your Majesty wants to do with Zhang Xiangxiang."
Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "We'll talk about it after we arrive in Puyang. Now take your attention away from Zhang Xiangxiang and check the people who are close to Shandong and Hebei first."
Ruichun breathed a sigh of relief and stepped in: "This slave will go all out."
Naturally, all kinds of strange things that happened in the emperor's palace could not be hidden from Wu Mei, especially when it was heard that the emperor received a secret message from Yun Chu. After reading it, the emperor hid in the main hall alone and burned it directly. There was no second thought.
As soon as people knew about it, Wu Mei's curiosity was piqued.
When the prince Li Hong hurriedly asked for leave from the emperor and left Bianzhou quickly, it was said that there was new knowledge in Yunchu that needed teaching, Wu Mei's curiosity was stretched to the extreme.
She vaguely felt that she must have missed something very important, and the emperor knew about it, the prince knew about it, and Yunchu knew about it, but she was the only one who knew nothing about it.
In these two days, she used almost all the power she could use, but she still knew nothing about the content of Yunchu's secret music.
When Wu Mei's face became more and more gloomy in the palace, she learned that the emperor was planning to move to Puyang in two days. This made Wu Mei's suppressed anger completely explode, and she was ready to go directly to see the emperor.
Just when she was dressing up and putting on court clothes and going out, Aunt Chun was sneaking behind the curtain and waving at her constantly.
The angry Wu Mei strode over, ready to give this stupid servant a lesson, when she saw the dusty Li Si behind the curtain.
