MTL - I’m Against the World-Chapter 53 I am loyal to my emperor 4 no money

The old ministers of the previous emperor thought she was in the line of the new emperor.

How much water is in the last emperor's will, courtiers can imagine with their toes, and Xie Zhiyong, who wrote the last edict in person, is undoubtedly the new emperor's confidant.

The new emperor's team did not agree with her either.

Chaotang has always been a place for gangs to exclude dissidents. Both old and new courtiers still refuse to bring Qin Yilan. She is alone and helpless. In this wave of battles, she is the first to be pulled The one who dismounted.

Most emperors started to build mausoleums for themselves as soon as they succeeded to the throne.

The first emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortals and alchemy. He thought that he could become an immortal and ascend in a hundred days.

Qin Yilan, as the official of the Ministry of Works (another name for Shangshu), this matter is entirely under her control, and something went wrong with this repair. .

In Qin Yilan's opinion, it is normal for such a large underground palace to be dug more than ten meters deep, and some groundwater will come out, but others don't think so.

The mausoleum is the resting place of the emperor after his death. Wouldn’t the underground palace soak the body in the water? Can you rest in water? Not to mention the royal family, ordinary people will change their place if they dig out the water when they are buried.

, Feng Shui has also been affected, this is a proper accident.

Although the heads of Qin Tianjian and Zongzhengsi and several departments of the Rites Department discussed the selection with Qin Yilan when the mausoleum was selected, the Ministry of Industry was in charge.

This accountability does not matter, but someone proposed to the King of Qin to behead her.

Qin Yilan was horrified when she heard it. She was stabbed in the neck when she was possessed by the black body. The coolness still made her horrified when she thought about it. Head, she was so frightened that she wanted to curse.

Qin Yilan was alone and helpless in the court, no one helped her and no one interceded for her. King Qin didn't know whether he was thinking of the merits of that edict or seeing her old tears. On the pretext of making meritorious deeds for the people, the Yellow River rejected the proposal to behead her, and only demoted her from the second-rank official of the Ministry of Works to the director of the Dushui Division of the Ministry of Engineering of the sixth-rank.

Although the official position has dropped several ranks, fortunately, there is no need to die. Qin Yilan reminded herself again that she must remember to ask the boss for the exercises next time she met, and went to work obediently.

The place where she works has not changed, it is still in the Ministry of Engineering, but the office has changed, from the main hall of the Ministry of Engineering compound to an upside-down room.

She was unlucky, and the happiest was Wei Guogong.

The first emperor was strong and did not want to see this unskilled elder brother-in-law. When rewarding the queen concubine, he only gave the old uncle an empty title of Wei Guogong so that he could get a salary, not even a false position. hang.

He went out to go shopping, and asked the bearer to carry him to meet Qin Yilan by chance.

In this dynasty, there was an order that "Civil and military officials should take a sedan chair, and they should be accompanied by four people. The five government officials, guarding inside and outside, guarding, regardless of the age, are not allowed to take the sedan chair, illegally taking the sedan chair and Those who use eight persons without permission will be heard.” (1)

The "Civil and Military Officials" in this decree refers to the high-ranking officials above the third rank. Xie Zhiyong used to be the second-rank official of the Ministry of Works, and he could take a sedan chair that could be carried by four people when he went out. Now he has been demoted to The clerk of the sixth grade, the sedan chair can't sit, she goes to work every day and has to go on her own legs.

"Yo! Isn't this thanks to the heavenly officials?" Duke Wei poked his head out from the sedan chair curtain, with an expression of astonishment that could not be more fake, and reprimanded the bearer: "You don't have long eyes. Shit, Xie Tianguan is something you can touch? Why don't you make amends quickly?"

"I'm sorry." The bearer grinned: "Lord Tianguan is wearing a green leather, and the little one is a little official who just entered Beijing. I didn't recognize it."

"Blind your dog's eyes." Wei Guogong feigned anger and scolded the bearer loudly: "If you delay Xie Tianguan's going to court, see how I clean you up, hey, no , this morning is about to leave, why are you still here, Tianguan?"

There are regulations on the color of official uniforms in this dynasty, the first to fourth grades wear red, and the fifth to seventh grades wear blue. .

Wei Guogong is a first-rank countryman, Qin Yilan is now a sixth-rank petty official, she honestly bowed her hands and bowed, Wei Guogong felt comfortable, and with a "hum" in his nose, proudly fell down the car curtain and walked away .

Let you lead someone to do this."

Shangfeng sent a task, and Qin Yilan had to do it.

Inland river dredging is a work that is done almost every year. It is generally arranged in the dry season of autumn and winter. All the river sections in the capital, including the moat, must be surveyed first to find out each river. According to the amount of silt in the section, determine the section of the river that needs to be dredged, calculate the required manpower, and then apply for the manpower and funds with the household department.

Fishing with a bamboo-handled iron jig is all manual work, and the efficiency is very low.

The difficulty of this work is not only low efficiency, but the most difficult thing is the lack of manpower and funds.

The manpower provided by the Ministry of Household is all the people who are recruited from the vicinity of the capital to serve corvée service. It is a hassle to recruit civilians for corvée service, and many people donate money to get the service, so the Ministry of Household gives manpower is always insufficient.

It's a trivial matter to get sick, and it's not for nothing.

Being deducted so severely When they made trouble, Qin Yilan had to be questioned.

In order not to make trouble and do this job well, Qin Yilan negotiated with the officials of the Ministry of Housing in a low voice, asking for money to run two or three times a day, in order to control these servants and prevent them from causing trouble Son, Qin Yilan almost lived on the construction site.

go.

A small official complained angrily to Qin Yilan as he walked: "The official document was handed to the Ministry of Housing last month, why didn't they give us the money and charcoal, those are all servants, It really forced people to make trouble, even if we will be convicted, they will be able to settle down?"

"It's such a cold day, the construction site lacks food and clothing, and the dog things are not too hasty to put on the air to make things difficult for us. It's not a thing, so you have a good temperament, boss. This is going to be replaced by Lang Zhonglai, and I have already quarreled with them." Another clerk raised his eyelids and glanced at Qin Yilan.

Qin Yilan shrank his neck and did not say a word. The minister of the household was an old acquaintance, Gao Shigong. There were only three cabinet ministers in the period of the first emperor. Xie Zhiyong did not have much ambition and did not like to fight for power. Auxiliary Chen Ruwei fights in secret, not to mention that fire and water are incompatible, but it is also clear.

Form a group and unite to compete with the new ministers.

In this contest, Qin Yilan didn't even hold on to a round and was knocked over by the horse.

But what's the use of Qin Yilan slapping the table?

Will Wang Zhi support her, or will Nalangzhong give her a loan? She'd be ridiculed for her incompetence.

blockbuster.

The matter of money still needs to be resolved as soon as possible, or should I go and find Gao Shigong in private? I don't know if the face of "Xie Zhiyong" is still worthwhile with him?

"Yo, my Lord Xie." Wei Guogong, who had nothing to do, sat in the red official sedan chair with a big face: "It's so cold, this little wind can be hard, Are you freezing? Why don't you take a sedan chair?"

What the hell? Qin Yilan didn't answer his words, but only brought two servants to greet him according to the rules. Duke Wei nodded and shouted reservedly, and then stomped on the sedan chair to let the sedan bearer put him down.

"Sir Xie, is it cold? I heard that you have been living at the construction site of Jinshuimen these days? Tsk tsk tsk, the heart of a loyal lord for the people is moving!"

Wei Guogong let out a long sigh and let out a sigh of emotion, pushed the two little officials to the back, grabbed the sleeve of Qin Yilan's official uniform and looked at it with a smile: "If you change the purple one into the green one, you won't even be able to sit in a sedan chair. Now, at an old age, I have to run errands in the wind and rain every day, which is really hard work.”

Qin Yilan pulled her sleeves back with all her strength, but Wei Guogong was not annoyed, and then sneered at her: "The grandfather (the first emperor)'s grand decrees are all from the hand of Master Xie. It's you who took the lead on the table, Sir Xie has made great contributions to Grandpa, and our Emperor Grandpa doesn't feel sorry for you?"

Seeing that Qin Yilan did not speak, Wei Guogong felt that he had finally stabbed the lung tube of "Xie Zhiyong", and he lowered his voice fiercely: "You are a villain who backs his master, the grandfather treats you like a mountain. , you didn't want to repay, but instead helped King Qin win the throne of Prince Li, you have to end up here, it's all retribution, hum, I can watch, I want to see what will happen to you!"

Qin Yilan can't even think about what will happen and what will happen now, he looked at several construction sites along the Jinshui River.

The little officials who were working on the errands told them that they must strictly monitor these servants, and never let them go to the streets to make trouble, and went home in a hurry.

Back to Xie's house, Qin Yilan went to Xie Zhiyong's private house again.

It's not easy to sell, and it's easy to be undercut when selling in a hurry. She pondered for a while, then turned to find Xie Zhiyong's old wife.

"Madam." Qin Yilan bowed and smiled at the old lady.

The old lady turned her head aside when she saw her: "I don't have money, let me tell you, Xie, my family has no money!"
