Chapter 406 I'm so scared
Emperor Ying Qian narrowed his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yang Shangshu Ling broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down.
"I am terrified."
"Your Majesty, I am an honest and upright person!"
Emperor Ying Qian did not blame or vent his anger. His eyes flickered, and he fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand. He was full of deterrence, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became low.
Emperor Ying Qian suddenly laughed.
Look, each of them has grown up. They
are no longer at his mercy like before, but now they have to resist his authority.
He was meaningful.
"Speaking of which, Gui Zhi and Fu Ju are also father-in-law and son-in-law. My left and right arms have become in-laws, which shows that it is God's will."
Emperor Ying Qian: "I am very relieved."
You can tell how fake it is as soon as you hear it.
He asked: "Then according to Fu Ju, what should we do about this?"
Regarding the dam issue, Gu Fu Ju was just present at the annual discussion and never spoke.
After all, Wei Zhao was his most respected student.
He understood that Wei Zhao was willing to give.
Yang Changzheng was vigorously promoting the project. Would Emperor Ying Qian not know that he had received kickbacks to some extent? Would he not know that the people working under him were exploiting him at
every level? He simply turned a blind eye. Anyway, there were people paying and working hard. Why wouldn't he do it?
Emperor Ying Qian was not afraid that the officials under him were not greedy. As long as they did not go too far, he could tolerate it. Yang Changzheng was a capable person, so he became his confidant.
There was no need for Gu Fuju to do thankless work, so he simply did not care much.
But now it's different... Wei Zhao's attitude has been revealed.
"This amount was spent on water conservancy projects in the early years."
Gu Fuju gestured.
"This is not a small number, and you all know it."
"The focus is on Jiangnan, Yiling, Yuzhou, and Pingyang."
"Plains are easier to build than mountainous areas with complex terrain, and the project progresses faster. Irrigation ditches, small dams, etc., can be built in a year. But canals and large reservoirs take several years."
Gu Fuju: "I want to ask Lord Yang, how many have you built? How many have collapsed?"
Ying Yin's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Loyal and Brave Marquis:? ? ! !
No, it's something that everyone knew before, why do you bring it up specifically?
This is a slap in the face of Minister Yang, or the face of the emperor!
Everyone knows how many treasures Minister Yang has to offer to the palace every year to flatter.
Gu Fuju: "I don't know as much about engineering as Lord Yang, but I remember that when Emperor Taizu was alive, there were quite a few projects built, but not so many that needed to be repaired year after year."
"Shouldn't Lord Yang give an explanation? It's because you are not doing your job well and not paying enough attention to these things. Anyway, if they collapse, they can be repaired without spending your money. Or are your subordinates too worried?"
He almost pointed at Yang Changzheng and scolded him.
Gu Fuju: "Wei Zhao is short of money, but the fundamentals of the country are all the important officials. I have been an official for many years and am willing to contribute my efforts."
"Lord Yang is such a good official who cares about the people's livelihood and has been working hard for this for many years. Naturally, he will not be stingy.
No matter how much he gives, I will bite the bullet and give as much as he gives, even if I have to sell my pot and iron and go out to borrow money." I don't know why the loyal and brave marquis is like this.
But he thinks he has to show it.
Anyway, it won't be wrong for him to follow Wei Zhao and Gu Fuju!
He hesitated.
"Then I will try... to follow one?"

How outrageous the rumors outside are.
Yu Tingwan doesn't know.
Because she is in the teahouse now.
It was because the Yang family lived close to this place. Madam Yang knew something was wrong when she heard the news, and she arrived faster than Jiashan and Ning Suchan.
Yanming Street was not a place to talk. She booked the entire teahouse, cleared all the guests inside, and invited Yu Tingwan to go over.
At this time, the atmosphere was very wrong.
Madam Yang made tea with a cold face and did not speak.
Her behavior was very oppressive.
Madam Yang did it on purpose. She just wanted to see how capable Yu Tingwan was in making Jingshu fall flat on her face. She
has only been in Beijing for a few months. Even if she has a noble status, she should show her timidity when she is trying to establish her authority.
Didn’t you see that Xiao Bailian was so scared that she held her breath and was uneasy, and she didn’t even dare to sit down?
Then.
There was a crackling sound.
Not only did Yu Tingwan not show her timidity, she even started eating melon seeds when she had nothing to do.
Madam Yang:...
She looked at Lu Shiying.
"Miss Lu, what are you afraid of? But please come up and have a cup of tea. Why are you so petty? The Lu family doesn't want you to enter the Yang family, and we can't really force you."
"How come the general's wife misunderstood that our Yang family has become a den of bandits."
If it weren't for Lu Shiying, these things wouldn't happen!
Will Madam Yang be able to see her?
Lu Shiying was so scared: "I... I..."
Yu Tingwan: "Miss Lu."
She stuffed a handful of melon seeds into her hand and gave her something to do: "Help peel them."
She was calm: "Madam Yang, if you have anything to say, come to me."
Madam Yang smiled.
"Look at what you said."
"Did you feel wronged by what happened today? People outside say that you will be bullied to death by my Jingshu."
"Please come up, I also want to talk about this matter."
"Speaking of this matter, the source is just that my mother-in-law is stupid. But you shouldn't bump into people."
She poured a cup of brewed tea.
"It doesn't matter if Jingshu gets into trouble. If you are ill, how can our Yang family explain to the Wei family?"
It sounds like she is really thinking about Yu Tingwan.
But it's all sarcasm.
Yu Tingwan pretended not to hear it.
She nodded.
"Madam Yang, you are still a good person. It makes people feel comfortable to hear this."
Madam Yang: ...
There are really no rules.
She continued: "If Madam is not happy, just take that stupid woman away. Beat her or kill her. As long as you can calm down, it's easy to talk."
Just a servant.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yang Jingshu behind her.
Madam Yang patted Yang Jingshu's hand: "Look at how pitiful you are. Normally, I don't want to say a word again. You must be scared."
Yang Jingshu was full of confidence after having a backer.
"Yes, my daughter did..."
"Today I have lost all my face."
Yang Jingshu burst into tears and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "But it's nothing, the general's wife didn't mean it."
Madam Yang nodded, and the mother and daughter sang in unison: "Then why don't you send tea to Madam to apologize."
"This matter will be over, in the future..."
Madam Yang paused and looked at Yu Tingwan kindly.
"Madam has just come to the capital, and she is also a new bride. Maybe she doesn't know the human relationships here. There is a saying that you should forgive others when you can. This time, even if our Yang family is wrong. We admit it."
"We may have more exchanges in the future. After all, my master is also a close minister of the emperor. If there is a verbal dispute between us girls, it will be fine if we talk it out, but if it becomes a rift between the two houses and it is exposed to the man, it will be a sin. I'm afraid it will not be good for you."
Madam Yang: "Did you say that?"
Yu Tingwan heard it.
Fearing her identity, she was afraid of making a fuss, so she lowered her head and tried to reconcile, but she was angry, and she thought that she was young, and she would not be so perverse if she was scared, so she threatened.
She sneered, her aura was fully open.
Just as she was about to open her mouth.
With a bang, the door was kicked open and someone strode in.
Ning Suchan had a cold face and ignored the Yang family. She quickly approached Yu Tingwan, pulled her up, looked her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had no injuries.
But she was still worried.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Tingwan was particularly surprised to see Ning Suchan. Yang Jingshu had someone to support her, and so did she.
She blinked.
Jiashan rushed in from outside at this time.
As soon as she entered, she heard Yu Tingwan's particularly aggrieved voice.
"Mother-in-law! You're here at last."
"I'm so fragile that I break at the slightest touch. I panic when someone says something harsh to me."
Yu Tingwan also wanted to cry, but she tried hard, but she couldn't cry.
In the end, she buried her head in Ning Suchan's arms, pressed her chest, and uttered a sentence faintly.
"I'm so scared and helpless."
Ning Suchan's body was stiff:...
Jiashan: ! !
She was heartbroken to hear that.
