Chapter 59 The Tao is Virtue and Qi is courteous

At the end of October of the second year of Wude, Chang'an had begun to freeze. Although it will not turn into ice, in the eyes of many builders, such cold weather is not suitable for construction.

However, Chen Ying resisted criticism and insisted that the construction should not be stopped, on the contrary, he took advantage of the opportunity of the ditch drying up to strictly order the people to dig deep ditches and take soil to fill in the road surface. A large number of people will dig out the soil, put it in a pot to steam, and after the soil is cooked, mix it with quicklime and glutinous rice juice, then stir it evenly, and then tamp it on the road surface layer by layer, so that the entire roadbed of the road is almost more than three feet above the flat ground. The most surprising thing for the builders is that these roadbeds are not flat, but high in the middle and low on both sides, with an arc.

Li Jiancheng has been paying close attention to Chen Ying's construction of the gallop road, especially recently, many people have slandered Chen Ying to Li Jiancheng, claiming that Chen Ying worked hard and hurt the people, but he repaired a four-way out. Li Jiancheng is not proficient in the method of construction, and does not know the meaning and real purpose of Chen Ying's actions. Originally, Li Jiancheng ignored Chen Ying's criticisms, but the three of them became tigers, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became, Li Jiancheng finally couldn't sit still.

Li Jiancheng sat on the soft couch, Pei Ju served tea, and then looked at Li Jiancheng quietly. I saw Li Jiancheng holding a teacup, looking at the curling mist, silent and solemn.

Pei Ju saw that Li Jiancheng had something on his mind, so he immediately lowered his hands and stood with his bow.

After a long time, Li Jiancheng still decided to ask Pei Ju. At this time, Pei Ju's official position is the order of the prince of the East Palace, and he is also one of the three divisions and three young men of the East Palace, although Pei Ju's level is very high, but this official position is in charge of the grain and diet, and the position seems to be like the great Si Nong and Shaofu in the Qin and Han dynasties, not to mention that Pei Ju is famous for being proficient in accidents and holding loads.

"Pei Qing, what do you think of Chen's move?"

Pei Ju met Li Jiancheng's gaze and did not rush to speak. He knew that Li Jiancheng was not just asking Chen Ying. Hou Mo Chen is one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, a first-class family, from the Western Wei Dynasty when Hou Mo Chen Chong served as the Duke of Liang and the general of the Zhu State, Hou Mo Chen began to rise, Hou Mo Chen Chong's elder brother, Hou Mo Chen Shunguan to the Metropolitan Governor, knighted Pengcheng County Duke, Hou Mo Chen Chong's younger brother Hou Mo Chen Qiongguan to the Shangzhu State, Xiuwu County Duke. Hou Mo Chen Kai was the doctor in the division and was knighted as the Duke of Lingwu County.

One door and five public can be described as a temporary scenery.

Now that Chen Ying is here, he has reached the third generation. Fifty or sixty years. In contrast, Li Hu and Li Bi, who were ranked among the seven surnames of Guanlong nobles in later generations, were not as influential as Hou Mo Chen's. At this time, Hou Mo Chen Qian will worship the official from the Sanpin Guanglu doctor, and Hou Mo Chen Ying will worship the guests of the prince of the East Palace, can this not attract jealousy?

Pei Ju sighed and said, "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop." ”

Li Jiancheng's eyebrows flashed, and he was a little unhappy with Pei Ju's attitude.

Pei Ju saw it in his eyes and did not panic, he knew that Li Jiancheng was generous and knowledgeable, but he was sometimes a little pedantic. Li Jiancheng's intelligence and quick wit are not very high. At this time, Pei Ju said: "Some people talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but behind their backs, they invade the land and escape, oppress the small people, and coerce the public opinion to respect themselves." ”

Pei Ju dared to say this, because he also found that although Chang'an was dry and cold in winter, it did not snowfall for a long time, as the so-called Ruixue Trillion Year, then the reverse is also true, there is no snow yet, even if there will be no harvest in the coming year, the harvest will definitely be affected.

At this time, Pei Ju could see that Chen Ying, in the name of repairing Chi Road, was repairing the large and small ditches west of Chang'an, which was a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but it was criticized by some people. Pei Ju thought very clearly, if Li Jiancheng couldn't hear it when it came to this, then Li Jiancheng must be pretending to be confused, and Pei Ju would definitely not persuade Li Jiancheng to do anything.

Chen Ying was impeached for three reasons in the matter of repairing the Chi Road.

First of all, it is nothing more than the grudge between the Guanlong aristocracy and the Shandong aristocracy for generations, and now the Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, in addition to the Li Hu family, the Li Bi family has completely declined because there is no successor since Li Mi's death. The Zhao Gui family is more decayed than the Hou Mo Chen family, and the strength of the Yuan family is even inferior to the Jingzhao Wei family, and now it is the turn of a second-rate family. The only thing that the Shandong aristocratic group is afraid of is Chen Ying, he has been weak in the year of the crown, has been the official residence of the third grade, in the future Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, even if he is not worshipped, he will also get the governor (deputy minister), Hou Mo Chen family revitalization again, which gave the Shandong aristocratic group great pressure.

Secondly, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the world is in turmoil, wars are frequent, especially this year's Hedong chaos, Hedong 27 prefectures, almost more than half of the fertile land was destroyed, but encountered the signs of a great drought, once the grain production in Guanzhong was reduced or the harvest was lost, the Shandong aristocratic group took advantage of the natural disaster, took the opportunity to annex the fertile land in Guanzhong at a very low price, and took the opportunity to infiltrate its forces into Guanzhong, the base camp of the Guanlong aristocracy.

In the end, that is, the weakening of grain in the grain customs will inevitably make Li Yuan rely more on the Shandong aristocracy, thereby increasing the court's right to speak, but it is said that Chen Ying repaired the ditch, but it directly affected the overall layout of the Shandong aristocratic group.

Li Jiancheng faintly understood, but he still felt that Pei Ju was a little worried.

……

Chen Ying had naturally heard faint rumors, but he had never cared about them. As a general, if his reputation is too good, I am afraid that Li Yuan will not be able to sleep well, so Chen Ying neither explained nor concealed it. Take advantage of this time to save some lives, save more.

However, the weather will go by and the weather will get colder and colder, even if there is no thermometer, Chen Ying also knows that when it is the coldest in the pass, it can be more than 20 degrees below zero, and in such a cold weather, there is no way to continue the construction. At this time, Chen Ying stroked the seal of the left guard rate in his hand, and the attention of the left guard rate was played in his head.

The left guard rate of the East Palace, one more Zhechong Mansion than the right guard rate of the East Palace, has five upper mansions, respectively, Xunwei Mansion, Xun Yi Mansion, Xun Er Mansion, Yi Yi Mansion, Yi Er Mansion, although the left guard rate is the same as the right guard rate, the personnel are not satisfied, but the five Zhechong Mansion, how can there be five or six thousand people.

"Okay!" Chen Ying thought about it and decided to transfer troops to participate in the dredging of galloping roads and ditches.

However, this transfer of troops must be explained to Li Jiancheng, Chen Ying decided to go back to Chang'an in person and have a deep and detailed discussion with Li Jiancheng in person.

However, Chen Ying did not expect that he had not returned to Chang'an, but Li Jiancheng took a car to the construction site.

Chen Ying got the news and hurriedly brought Xu Jingzong and other subordinate officials to greet him.

Li Jiancheng cordially took Chen Ying's hand and boarded the car. Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying talked about the fortifications for a while, and Li Jiancheng was responsible for presiding over the reform of the official system, changing Nayan to Shizhong, Neishi Ling to Zhongshu Ling, and Shilang to Shizhong...... Promoted the internal history squire Feng Deyi to the Zhongshu Order.

After the fortification talks, Li Jiancheng said that some imperial historians in the court impeached Chen Ying. Looking at Li Jiancheng's solemn expression, Chen Ying asked lightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you think is the Mandate of Heaven?" ”

Li Jiancheng was excited in his heart, and forced his excitement to ask, "What does Chen Qing mean ......?"

Chen Yingdao: "The sky sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to the people." The way is virtuous, and the ...... is courteous."
