This sleeve is broken secretly

Chapter 84 Wildfire

This Tian Changxue was an official who was transferred to the capital last year. He had only heard of Shen Bing's name before, but never met him in person.Seeing that Emperor Zhengning, who had always been stable and mature, became excited at this time, his brows were brimming with joy, almost wanting to see through his eyes, he couldn't help being secretly startled.He couldn't help turning his head away, wanting to see how powerful this world-shattering Master Shen looked like.

However, beside the towering palace gate, the crimson official robe of the third-rank official flashed, and a slender figure approached from a distance.Before Tian Changxue saw the man's appearance, his heart skipped a beat at first, and then he was startled secretly—the official robes of this dynasty had wide sleeves and slipped shoulders, with no waist or back showing, a little chunky When people put it on, they look like groundhogs covered in sacks, and they can't get on the stage at all.

But for some reason, this unremarkable robe looked elegant and graceful on the person walking.The waist tied by the rhinoceros belt was straight and slender, and when a pair of straight long legs came under it, the crimson robe billowed like a rushing cloud, indescribably chic and unrestrained.But seeing him walk over so unhurriedly is a very enjoyable thing to see.

Tian Changxue couldn't help swallowing secretly, and when he moved his eyes up quietly, he suddenly fell silent.

Well, with such an outstanding appearance, who is the best if he is not top-notch?

Shen Bian didn't know what he was muttering in secret, at this time he walked slowly into the hall, bowed down calmly and said: "Minister Shen Biao, I see you——"

"Sir, please get up!" Emperor Zhengning couldn't hold back any longer, he stood up abruptly, strode down from the throne to Shen Bi, and helped him up himself, "I——I have been waiting for you for a long time, sir."

Shen Yan only felt that the young emperor was holding his hands very hard, even trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, raised his eyes and said softly: "I also miss the emperor very much."

Emperor Zhengning pulled him, called someone to bring him a chair, and took him to sit down. Then he walked back to the throne and sighed: "Two years have passed in a blink of an eye. I remember that when Mr. Ding You returned to his hometown, I hadn't ascended the throne yet. At that time, I really felt that the baby bird had left the nest, feeling reluctant and at a loss..."

"Your Majesty has done a good job," Shen Yan said with a smile after taking his seat, "I have returned to the capital this time, and the places I pass by can only see the people's livelihood is rich and the people are in good health. The people of Li are safe and have no worries. This is the greatest affirmation for the Emperor. .”

Emperor Zhengning was very happy, but he sighed again, shook his head and said, "I have just succeeded to the throne, and there are still many things to do. Oh, this is Tian Changxue from the Ministry of Industry, and he is here to report about the flood in the south. Have you never seen it?" Why don't you listen, sir, I want to know your opinion."

Tian Changxue hurriedly got up to salute, and said respectfully: "Although I have not had the honor to meet Mr. Shen, I have heard of him for a long time. Please give me your advice."

Shen Yan also got up to return the gift, and smiled with downcast eyes: "I really don't dare to give advice. I have heard of Tian Langzhong's specialization in flood control, and I have also read your "Heshu", which has benefited a lot."

Tian Changxue was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became agitated: "Your Excellency, you really have a lot of knowledge, and you also have research on water conservancy?"

It should be known that his "He Shu" wrote many experiences of water conservancy construction and flood control.He was a practical craftsman and was not good at diction, so although the "He Shu" written by him contains precious content such as the current situation of the river course and the difficulties in restoration, the whole text is very difficult to read, and laymen don't like to read it.

"I can't talk about research, I can only say I know a little bit about it." Shen Yu said, "It's the flood season in the south at this time, if I guessed right, maybe the Wei and Fu Er waters are flooded again?"

"My lord guessed well." Tian Chang learned the way, and told Shen Bing what he just said in detail.

After finishing his speech, Emperor Zhengning said slowly: "I also know that the harm of floods is not a trivial matter. Every year, tens of millions of Li people leave their homes due to floods. However, if we really want to rebuild the dams along the Wei and Fu coasts, it will cost a lot of money. Money. Although the national treasury is full now, it cannot be tampered with. The military department is about to open, and the military department is also waiting for money to reorganize military affairs and repair border defenses. You can’t save anywhere, but you can’t do whatever you want. Mr. , do you have any opinion on this water conservancy matter?"

"Your Majesty's concern, I understand." Shen Wei pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and asked Tian Chang Xuedao, "I have a question, I would like to ask Tian Langzhong for advice. The method of 'Forcing Fu to Zhu Wei' is indeed unique. It's just that the water is fast and stretches vertically and horizontally. In the north and the south, although the Fushui is also magnificent, it is still not as good as the Weishui. The Weishui is strong and the Fushui is weak, and the Fushui is used to wash the Weishui, will this effect be good?"

Tian Changxue was taken aback for a moment, but was speechless for a moment.Emperor Zhengning raised his eyebrows, and also cast his gaze on Tian Changxue, waiting for his reply.

After thinking for a while, Tian Changxue still said: "It is true that the Wei River is stronger, while the Fu River is weaker. But Mr. Shen, you don't need to worry too much about this. As long as you build high dams on both sides of the Fu River and wash the sand with all your strength, it will definitely be effective. The so-called combination makes the flow fast, divergence makes the flow slow, and slow flow leads to stagnation and sand accumulation. If you want to solve the flood caused by the sedimentation of sand and gravel in one fell swoop, it is better to combine the two waters."

Shen Yan nodded, stared at him and said slowly: "I understand what Tian Langzhong means. It's just the prevention and control of floods, which is a big deal. If this 'Shu Fu' is not done carefully, it may also lead to the backflow of Fu water, and the trouble is even more serious." endless."

Tian Changxue was a little disapproving, and subconsciously wanted to argue again, but when he looked up, he stumbled when he met Shen Bing's beautiful eyes of Shen Ning, and he felt cold all of a sudden.For some reason, Mr. Shen looks gentle and elegant, but when he looks at people, he has a particularly oppressive feeling, making it hard for people to say a word that is abrupt.

After calming down for a while, Tian Changxue swallowed the impulsive words on the bottom of his tongue, turned sideways to Emperor Zhengning and said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Shen said is indeed reasonable. The pros and cons of the harm, I am afraid that I will need to go back and deduce it carefully before we can come to a conclusion. "

Emperor Zhengning nodded: "That's right, this is a major event, and I only called you here today to get the general idea. When you go back today, as Mr. Shen said, make a detailed copy and hand it over. We'll discuss it later."

Tian Changxue quickly answered "Yes", got up and saluted, and retreated respectfully.

When there was no one else in the hall, Emperor Zhengning hurriedly got up, came to sit next to Shen Bi, sat down next to him, looked at him carefully and said happily: "I wanted to call Mr. Tian after seeing this Changxue, so that we won't be disturbed by others. Let’s have a good chat, but I didn’t expect to make my husband work hard as soon as I came back... How is sir? Are you still used to it after returning to Beijing? Are you resting well?”

He sat too close, so Shen Yan had no choice but to stand up, bowed slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm fortunate enough to return to Beijing this time, and I'm here to share the emperor's worries. Now that you are the emperor, and the minister is the subordinate, you don't dare to join hands with the emperor. Sit down, and I dare not bear the emperor's word 'sir'."

Emperor Zhengning was a little disappointed, and curled his lips subconsciously.He is young and mature, and usually keeps his emotions and anger secret, and he has a bit of Hongwu Emperor's compelling prestige.But at this time when facing Shen Bing, he showed a childlike demeanor.

He sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Since I succeeded to the throne, all the people around me are respectful and submissive. Even the servants who used to serve me no longer dare to have half a joke with me. Sometimes I want to come, it is inevitable to be lonely."

"This is a good thing. It means that the emperor's dragon is so powerful that everyone is respectful." Shen Ji paused, seeing his lost look, he couldn't help softening his heart, and said softly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to feel lonely... I can no longer sit at the same table with you, nor can I walk hand in hand, but in my heart - I will always remember the joy of talking with you in the East Palace. From now on, I will do my best to protect the safety of the emperor and help you. beautiful."

Emperor Zhengning's eyes moved slightly, and there was a gleam in his eyes, and he laughed for a while and said in a low voice: "Sir, I will always remember these for my own good. I will never forget the relationship between you and me as a teacher and student...you I have written down what I said. But when you and I are alone in the future, I will still call you 'Sir'."

"Your Majesty, this is reasonable—"

"This is an imperial decree, sir, don't refuse it!"

Shen Ting paused, and finally shook his head and laughed: "Forget it...my minister, I lost to the emperor."

Emperor Zhengning smiled smugly, got up and returned to the throne, and asked: "Since Mr. Tian also listened to what Tian Changxue said today, what do you think of this man? Is his suggestion feasible?"

Shen Wei thought for a while and said: "Tian Changxue is indeed quite famous in water conservancy. He traveled all over the banks of Wei and Fu in his early years before he wrote "He Shu". It's just that the method of attacking Wei with Fu is a bit too ideal. If you are not careful, it may cause the Fushui to burst into the embankment and the sluice to flow backward. And blindly raising the embankment will make the water surface grow longer and higher...I feel that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term."

Emperor Zhengning nodded repeatedly, and sighed: "It seems that Tian Changxue is quite convinced of his method, I wonder if he will take Mr.'s suggestion to heart."

Shen Ting smiled and said: "There are specialists in the field of surgery. Most of these experts firmly believe in their own opinions. This is also a common occurrence. From my point of view, it is better to choose another person who disagrees with Tian Changxue's opinions to discuss this matter together. I don't know, maybe In the official affairs of the two of them, a better way can be collided."

"Very good, let's do as the master said." Emperor Zhengning laughed loudly, "As soon as the master came back, my heart instantly settled down a lot."

Shen Yan lowered his head and said, "It's my honor to be able to share the emperor's worries."

Emperor Zhengning looked at him quietly, and said for a long while, "There is one thing I have always wanted to ask sir... two years before you left Beijing, did you have any resentment towards the capital city and the late emperor?"

Shen Bing was stunned.

He subconsciously looked up at Emperor Zhengning, and the young emperor was also looking back at him.In those bright eyes, Shen Bing saw calmness and calmness, like a clear noon sky, without a cloud or haze.

That was not a probing look.

My heart, which had been beating rapidly twice suddenly, gradually calmed down.Shen Bing thought about it quietly, and replied slowly: "I don't have any resentment, but it's a little bit of regret."

"Unfortunately..." Emperor Zhengning muttered silently.

In the end, he raised his eyes to look at Shen Bing, and said firmly, "Mr. is a pure minister, I have always known it. You serve the country and the people, and you have the world in mind. It's just that sometimes, people who look too far will inevitably ignore the potholes under their feet. and barricades."

Shen Bing's eyes moved slightly.

"The internal cause of the change in Dari Achi back then was because of the party and government. I know all of this in my heart." Emperor Zhengning said indifferently, he raised his eyes to look outside the hall, at the vast palace and the The undulating mountains and hills, the eyes are particularly clear, "Mr. fell into a crime, it is really helpless. Although the late emperor also admired Mr., but the party and government and the military revolution are like a runaway horse. Even if he rescues Mr., he has no way to start." "

Shen Yan lowered his eyes and said: "I understand that I have never felt any resentment in my heart."

"Whether you complain or not, I just want you to know that a 'pure minister' like you is what I have been looking for in my life." Emperor Zhengning looked deeply at Shen Bing and said, "I dare not say There is nothing wrong with Mr. Nenghu, but doing your best should also let you not be restrained by other people and things when you are working hard for the country."

Shen Ting's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help looking at Emperor Zhengning in a daze.

"Don't be afraid of the chaos of the party and the government, and open guns and dark arrows." Emperor Zhengning said word by word, "Even if the world is still chaotic, I still hope that you can, as always, speak freely and act vigorously. And I, Then come to make sir's heart armor and death-prevention talisman."

You are so.

It was as if a strong wind had blown away the haze for thousands of miles, and the sky suddenly became clear and bright.

Shen Yan took a long breath, and felt that his chest was surging and he couldn't help himself.This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling was only felt when he walked to the throne in response to the rising sun eight years ago, when he won the first place in the gold list, and when the hall of Supreme Harmony was enshrined with hundreds of officials.

The fire in my heart once burned and extinguished.Now the sky is full of wilderness, and the wind is blowing everywhere, illuminating the sky wall endlessly again.

A thousand words are beyond words.Shen Yan closed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, got up and bowed deeply to the bottom, and said in a deep voice: "I will not let you down, I entrusted you today."
