Chapter 77 Thirteenth brother, tell me what you want!
"Brother Thirteen, this time you..." The official looked at Zhao Si with complicated emotions and didn't know what to say.
Said he shouldn't have put himself in danger.
But without him risking his life to jump down the gap and block the gap between the eight willow trees, the situation would have been far worse than it was now, and he and the court would have been even more embarrassed.
Say he is brave and fearless and should be regarded as a role model?
That is his own brother!
When the news that Brother Thirteen jumped into the gap and blocked the flood with his body spread to the palace, Princess Zhu became so angry that she fainted.
When she woke up and heard that Brother Thirteen was safe and sound, with just a few small scars on his face and forehead, Princess Zhu was still silent and just kept crying.
When the officials heard the news, they were all stunned.
"I will live and die with you! Behind you is me, and behind us are Kaifeng and Gyeonggi, with officials and millions of people."
No one can feel calm after hearing these words that are as shocking as a bell.
The officials hope that everyone in the world will become such a person, but they do not want their own brothers to become such a person.
The official looked at Zhao Si, who was silent in front of him, and found that after Brother Thirteen was fished out of the flood, he seemed to have a completely new look and had undergone a transformation like a rebirth.
"Brother, I have to jump out of that breach. If I don't jump, it won't be blocked. If I can't block it, the flood will sweep across the entire Gyeongsang Province."
Zhao Si said with a smile.
Guan Jia leaned back and closed his eyes, not wanting something to come out.
"I know. But when I think of the scene at that time and the raging river, I can't help crying. Brother Thirteen, if it weren't for you, I don't know how to explain it to all the people in the world."
"Brother Emperor, is it because of the Hebei Neihuang breach?"
The official's body was weakly leaning on the chair, all his energy and energy were gone, he was exhausted and weak.
"Three Easy Returns to the River. From the late Emperor Renmiao, to my father, and then to me, we followed the guidance of Li Chui's "Book of Guiding River Shapes" to divert the river north, but it suffered repeated breaches, causing major floods. Huaixi, Henan, and Hebei
, suffered a lot. Alas... if the eight willow trees also burst, the country of Gyeonggi Ze would be in turmoil."
At this point, the official stared at Zhao Si and said word by word: "Brother Thirteen, you really saved me by jumping."
After a while, the official said quietly: "Don't put yourself in danger like this again."
"Brother Six, I am a rough man and I only do such vulgar things. As long as I can help Brother Six, I don't care about the rest."
Guan Jia, who had been asking himself to keep his emotions and anger secret, now had a face full of relief, gratitude and guilt.
"Brother Thirteen, this river work matter...well, let's talk about it later."
"Brother Six, we'll talk about it later. Do you want me to take care of the river workers' affairs?"
"You just came back and you still need to rest, so don't talk about this matter."
"I'm not injured and need to recuperate. It's just a few cuts on my forehead and face from stones. It doesn't matter." Zhao Si smiled.
He is willing to accept any job.
"But Brother Six, I have my own ideas and style of doing things, so don't rush me."
"Okay!" The official agreed happily, and then asked, "Brother Thirteen, do you need a reward for your great achievements this time?"
Hearing this, Liang Congzheng, who was next to him, opened his ears and began to make plans for Zhao Si.
It would be better to add food, or not to add two more official posts, and receive two more salaries.
"What reward do I need for doing errands for Brother Six? Glory and wealth are enough. But I want to ask for a share of rewards for Zuo Yiwei, the Imperial Guards and the Xiang Army."
"Don't worry, there will be no shortage of rewards for these meritorious ministers."
"Brother Six, it's not this."
"what is that?"
"Sixth Brother, I ask you to issue an edict to abolish forever the custom of tattooing characters in the Forbidden Army Xiangjun."
Seeing the official's hesitation, Zhao Si leaned forward slightly and begged sincerely.
"Sixth Brother, the Forbidden Army Xiangjun must not only protect the country and guard the borders, but also stand up before a catastrophe. Such a pillar of the country is humiliated by being tattooed."
Speaking of this, Zhao Si's eyes were full of tears, "Sixth brother, when I was in the flood, a wave came, and I was afraid that I would be swept away. But behind me, on the left and right, there were Zuo Yiwei and the Forbidden Army.
Good boy."
"They surrounded me tightly and blocked the stormy waves for me. But when I saw the tattoos on their faces, I felt my heart hurt."
"Officials, we cannot let the meritorious ministers feel cold. If this is the case, who will be willing to step forward when there is a crisis next time?"
After hearing the last sentence, the official's expression changed.
Finally, he nodded slowly, "Brother Thirteen is right, we cannot let the meritorious ministers feel cold."
After leaving Chongyi Pavilion, Zhao Si saw Fan Chunren at a glance.
He was wearing an official robe, with the skirt tied into his belt, holding a stiff-winged official hat in his hand, and fanning his head.
When he saw Zhao Si coming out, he pulled out the skirt of his clothes, straightened them out, put his official hat on straightly, and took a few steps to greet him.
"Thirteenth Master, well done. If it were me, I would probably not dare to jump. If you dare to jump, in addition to being resolute and courageous, you also have officials and people in your heart. Well done!"
After Fan Chunren finished speaking, he bent down and bowed deeply.
Zhao seemed to be busy returning the gift.
As soon as I raised my head and stood up, I saw Fan Chunren tying his clothes back to his belt, spreading his legs, and turned around to leave. After walking a few steps, he felt hot, so he took off his official hat and fanned himself.
This way he wandered farther and farther.
Hey, who is this old man? He was so surprised.
Returning to the Chengxin Pavilion of the Wangfu, Changsun Moli and Zeng Baohua were waiting for him.
"Your Highness, the two headquarters of Huaxia News Agency and Chuanshi Literature Society request to use a unified voice to praise His Highness's deeds in their six newspapers and three magazines. Well, it is what Your Highness calls propaganda."
"No!" Zhao Si immediately stopped and said, "That's not what propaganda is."
"Your Highness, please make it clear!" Changsun Moli asked respectfully.
"All newspapers and magazines vigorously publicized the many commendable deeds and dedication of Zuo Yiwei and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army in fighting floods and disaster relief. In order to block the gap, hundreds of officers and soldiers held hands and risked their lives to jump in.
The story of the flood can be highlighted."
"As for my affairs and name, don't mention it at all. At most, mention it at the beginning, 'The official ordered King Jian to be the ambassador of water control and patrol in the west of the capital, commanding tens of thousands of Zuoyi Guards and the Xiang Army of the Imperial Guard to rush to the front line to fight the floods.
'.Don't mention the rest."
Changsun Moli understood immediately and nodded immediately.
"Your Highness, I understand and will adjust the publicity strategy immediately."
Zeng Baohua didn't know what was going on, "What's going on? Thirteenth Lang has made such a great contribution, and no one can talk about it."
Zhao Si remained calm and silent, while Changsun Moli laughed and teased.
"Maoming, you just don't like to think deeply when things happen, that's why you are so lenient and fat. Think about it, if the Kaifeng newspaper boasts about His Highness's deeds every day, some people will be jealous. Over time, you may even let the official
The family is afraid."
"As the official commander-in-chief of the flood fight, King Jian was integrated with Zuo Yiwei, the main force in fighting floods, and the Xiang Army of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. Mentioning them would unnecessarily involve King Jian. Mentioning Zuo Yiwei and the Forbidden Army
, the Xiang army jumped into the gap to block the flood, and naturally His Highness King Jian was the first one to think of it."
At this point, Changsun Moli's words became meaningful, "Let the common people pass it on word of mouth, making it more legendary and convincing."
Zeng Baohua snorted, "I am broad-minded because of my upright heart. There are so many twists and turns in your heart."
"I also have business."
Zeng Baohua said solemnly.
"At the junction of Bozhou, Suzhou, Haozhou and Shouzhou, a group of bandits emerged, numbering three to four thousand in number. They captured Jingshan Town, killed the inspection inspector and the county magistrate of Mengcheng County in Bozhou and others, and called themselves the Jingshan Army.
, tying up tens of thousands of people and endangering hundreds of miles in radius."
Zhao Si and Changsun Moli looked surprised, "Why isn't this matter reported to the local authorities?"
"Who in the local states and counties dared to speak out? They were all trying to hide it. It was this group of bandits and water thieves who robbed water transportation twice, affecting the transportation of grain in Huaidong and south of the Yangtze River. I sensed something was wrong, and after a secret investigation, I discovered this.
It’s tricky.”
"Damn it! In two months' time it will be the autumn harvest season, the busiest time for water transportation. Do you have to be robbed of the canal boat, cut off the water transportation, and make a big fuss before giving up?"
Changsun Moli cursed angrily.
Zhao Si's eyes lit up, he touched his chin and said slowly: "This is an opportunity."
"what chance?"
"Zuo Yiwei has been training for so long, and it's time for him to see some blood. Although there are fewer Jingshan thieves and they are weaker, as long as they are fought with real swords and guns, they will be of some use."
Changsun Moli and Zeng Baohua looked at each other.
Yes, the Fourth Battalion of Zuo Yiwei has been trained for so long, and it looks decent, but more than half of the officers and soldiers have never seen blood. In front of real soldiers, who have never been on the battlefield or seen blood, they all
It's a new recruit.
You can definitely give it a try. This chapter has been completed!
