Chapter 408: The faint king still needs to be persuaded by the ministers
The weather is hot in early summer, and there is an artificial lake in the back garden of Zhaodefang, which is led from the spring on the top of the mountain. It is a good place to cool off.
The chirping of cicadas, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of the sun-baked green leaves. On a mattress with red hearts and gold woven silk, Yang Lin was lying with his legs crossed, watching the maids teasing his three children.
After traveling for more than a year, Yang Lin fell ill as soon as he returned to Zhaodefang. The imperial doctor said that it was due to excessive anger. Yang Lin reflected on it and found that he was too impatient. He did not have the mature official temperament.
If you don't do something well, you will never let it go, and it will always weigh on your heart.
Just like the straightening of the canal this time, it was originally a long-term plan, but I was not in a hurry. The land in Hebei has been poor for a hundred years, and it is not something that can be changed overnight. Since I entered the officialdom, it has been too smooth.
If there is a slight difficulty that cannot be overcome, some people will become anxious and confused.
After thinking about it, Yang Lin tried his best to control himself from being impetuous, took time out to spend time with his family, asked Yang Jian to do some tricks in Genyue, and asked the guards of Long live camp to quickly transport a small piece of Pinggu stone from the north.
Just wait for the emperor to come to you.
Su Ningxiang, dressed in white, sat next to him, gently waving her fan to cool down Yang Lin. Su Zhuanglian, in a red dress, brought a bowl of medicine that had just been cooked from the back kitchen.
Yang Lin frowned and said, "I'm healed now, so why should I take any medicine?"
This thing is too bitter. Looking at the black medicinal soup that exudes a strong medicinal smell, Yang Lin waved his hand and said: "Quickly take it away, it is three parts poisonous."
Su Zhuanglian bit her lips and said aggrievedly: "Da Lang, please take this bowl of medicine. It's hard for me to endure it, and my wrists are sore after holding it."
Yang Lin always felt that this sentence was strange, but Su Zhuanglian had always been favored. Yang Lin couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he lowered his head and drank it all with a frown, smacking his lips: "Bitter! Don't say that again in the future.
That’s it.”
"Does good medicine taste bitter?" Su Ningxiang giggled, took out a fragrant handkerchief from her arms and helped him wipe the medicine stains from the corners of his mouth, and took out a candied fruit from the red box on the side and put it in Yang Lin's mouth.
Lin chewed slowly to dispel the bitterness in his mouth. At this time, the Chinese medicine without any seasoning was really too bitter.
Just as Official Yang was accompanying his concubine, teasing his children, and having a good time, Jin'er came over in small steps and said: "Da Lang, there is someone from the palace. They say they are summoned by the officials."
Yang Lin patted his thigh and said with a happy face: "Finally here!"
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Change my clothes and prepare the carriage and horses."——
Among Gen Yue, Zhao Ji had already arrived at the palace of Empress Zheng. It turned out that the plaque fell. Although it did not hit Empress Zheng directly, it really frightened her and caused her to squat on the ground.
Of course, Zhao Ji comforted her with kind words, and the couple said some personal words. At this time, Yang Jian said from outside: "Guan's family, Madam, Yang Shaozai has arrived."
Zhao Ji, who was frightened, wanted to see Yang Lin most now and ask if it was a warning from God.
"Quickly tell Yang Aiqing to come in."
After a while, Yang Jian personally led Yang Lin into the palace. Empress Zheng was behind the emperor and glared at him hatefully.
Yang Lin felt guilty for a while, pretending not to notice, and dodges his eyes. His sister-in-law looks gentle and virtuous, but in fact she has a lot of evil intentions, which is different from her naive sister.
When Zhao Ji saw Yang Lin, he felt inexplicably at ease. Without waiting for him to salute, he quickly asked: "Yang Aiqing, there have been many strange things happening in Genyue recently, and they are strange and strange. Aiqing is well versed in Kanyu, have you ever noticed anything strange?"
Yang Lin pretended to close his eyes and pinched his fingers. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said: "Your Majesty has newly acquired the land of Youyan, but did not add it to Gen Yue, so there are some abnormal phenomena, but it is not serious. It is just a disturbance.
The habits of living things, or the looseness of metal and wood."
When Zhao Ji heard that what he said was absolutely right, he nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is absolutely correct."
Yang Lin thought to himself, I did all this, how can I say I'm wrong? He was proficient in all kinds of hard-to-get tricks, so he mused: "Some small things may not be serious, but your Majesty and Gen Yue must be more careful.
Wei Chen estimates that Youyan's great fortune will be restored to its original state after being absorbed by His Majesty for a year and a half."
When Zhao Ji heard this, he was really unhappy and said: "I can still bear it. The Queen was almost hit today. Is there no way to make up for it?"
Here it comes! Yang Lin was excited, but with a look of reluctance on his face, he said: "It is possible to remedy the situation, but the cost is too high. I do not recommend that your Majesty make a remedy."
Zhao Ji was furious and said: "What can be greater than the queen's safety?"
Yang Lin sighed and said: "In that case, let me just say it. Your Majesty's achievements are to be part of His Majesty's creation. This achievements come from Youyan, but Your Majesty has not set foot in Youyan. There is room for heaven and earth.
Not enough. The only way is to transport the essence of Youyan land to Gen Yue.
Your Majesty doesn't know that among the beautiful waters of Pinggu and Lingshan in the old town of Yuyang, there are infinite strange stones. Their colors are like rust, ocher, reddish brown and gray, just like ancient objects that have been unearthed recently. There is a magical atmosphere in the antique color.
They may be shaped like cows, sheep, pigs and horses, tigers, leopards, dragons and fish, or like ancient castles and old ships, or majestic pavilions and pavilions. The larger ones can be placed in gardens and courtyards for landscaping; the smaller ones can be placed on several tables in the hall.
This kind of stone is pure in texture, delicate and solid; unique in shape and rich in connotation; the sound of the stone is crisp and sweet; the color of the stone is not flashy, antique, steady and generous; the texture is natural and diverse, full of novelty; the gas, steel and softness of the stone are strong and strong.
It loses its elegance and ruggedness but loses its delicacy.”
When Zhao Ji heard this, his saliva almost flowed out. Yang Lin took the opportunity to say: "This is the essence of the land of Youyan. If we move to Genyue, we can eliminate the sequelae caused by this fate."
It can eliminate disasters and obtain rare stones. When Zhao Ji heard that there was such a good thing in the world, why didn't he do it?
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, dear?" Zhao Ji said angrily, "I and the Queen have suffered so much for nothing."
Yang Lin looked worried about the country and the people, and sighed: "Your Majesty, I don't know that the roads in Hebei are blocked, the official roads are full of huge trees as thick as a man, the rivers are overflowing and there is no main channel, and it is impossible to move cars and horses, and it is impossible to use boats.
It can be transported to Bianjing like a gang of flowers and stones from the south of the Yangtze River."
When Zhao Ji heard this, he was a little hesitant. No wonder Yang Aiqing was hesitant and secretive. It turned out to be because of this. Wouldn't it be a bit stupid to do a lot of construction for the sake of rare stones? You know, in order to transport Taihu stones, he sent a team in Suzhou
Zhu Meng, who stirred up the two Zhejiang roads, rose up against the imperial court.
Seeing that he hesitated, Yang Lin decided to throw out another strong medicine and said: "I brought back a strange stone from Youyan. Is your Majesty willing to take a look?"
Zhao Ji grinned and said: "Bring it here quickly and let me see how it is different from the Taihu stone?" His eyes seemed to shine. This kind of look was very familiar to Yang Lin. Every time he saw Little Concubine Liu, he would
This is almost the situation.
Yang Lin couldn't understand. Could this bird-man's obsession with stones be more interesting than the lively and fragrant beauties? In fact, not only Zhao Ji, but also many civil servants and celebrities in the Song Dynasty were attracted by these strange-shaped stones.
Extremely fascinated.
He resigned and turned around to leave, giving Zhao Ji some time to ferment his desires and excitement. After a while, he came back with the strange stones and teased him again, hoping to start construction before the freeze at the end of the year!
