C486 Recital Objection
As long as this letter was sent up, the Human Emperor would surely be able to change his mind and issue an imperial decree, carving out the Jing Hang Canal. However, he didn't know that Maidservant Hua had brought a few of Shen Muqing's letters to the Imperial City in the darkness of the night.1
Among the Congress Hall s in the palace, the civil and military officials shouted "Long live the Human Emperor". The Human Emperor sat upright on his seat and said indifferently: "All of you, rise!"
Yang Guang was a bit excited. When the assembly began, he stood up and said, "Your son has a plan to beat him up."
Xuanyuan, Emperor of Human nodded and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Yang Guang took out a book from his sleeve and rushed to report, "Reporting to Imperial Father, when I was investigating the North and South Canal, I had contacted the Governor of the Thirteen Regions, so I was able to discuss this route.
Therefore, all the Governors of the Thirteen Regions were concerned about this matter. When they heard that this son had reported the matter of the Jinghang Canal to their royal father, they joined forces and sent a letter asking their royal father to clearly investigate this matter.
After these words were said, many people revealed a radiant light. It was a joint letter! Moreover, it was a joint letter from the Governor of the Thirteenth Territory. The combined strength of thirteen prefectural officials from the other provinces was not something to be looked down upon. The imperial government could not help but pay attention to Yang Guang's intentions.
The thirteen governors seemed to be supporting the canal. The amount of people benefited from this huge project was countless. The cost of the money was enormous as well. It was a good thing that all walks of life benefited from it!
If he delayed it, it would definitely arouse criticism from the people. The Human Emperor had no choice but to take the consequences into consideration, so he could not see anything on the Human Emperor's calm face.
After taking over the letter from Yang Guang, he had already figured it out after reading it once. In fact, he was very much in favor of building a canal.
Just as the Human Emperor was about to agree, Zhangsun Wuji suddenly said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the reason why Prince of Ning wanted to beat him up is because of the Beijing and Hangzhou Canal!"
Yang Guang's heart thumped. The complacent expression on his face disappeared. He opened his mouth wide as if he just ate a durian. How was that possible?
The Human Emperor just spread the news out, this message couldn't reach the Lingnan and had to be replied to so quickly. At this moment, Yang Guang finally reacted, he looked at Zhangsun Wuji, his gaze filled with malice!
It was Zhangsun Wuji! There was no other explanation than this, so the Human Emperor's eyes lit up. "Oh?" Ninth Brother's Memorials, take it out! "
After Zhangsun Wuji took the Memorials, under the murderous eyes of Yang Guang, he braced himself and said: "Although His Highness Prince of Ning believes that the canal is beneficial to the nation and the citizens, but now that the battle is going to end, it's not appropriate to start immediately. It's best to delay it for a period of time, and it's best to delay it for a few years."
Yang Guang roared. "Bullshit, shameless!"
He was going crazy after hearing Shen Muqing's news. Waiting a few more years, waiting a few more years even made him cold to the core. There was no chance for a comeback!
Xuanyuan, Emperor of Human frowned, "As a prince, speaking without thinking is really something." The domineering pressure of the Human Emperor's words shocked everyone present.
Yang Guang reacted, "Royal father, please calm your anger. "I was wrong. It's just that Ninth Brother isn't in the Imperial City, how could he have such a thorough grasp of the situation? I think what he said was indeed wrong."
Di Renjie said from below, "I don't agree with what Prince of Sui has to say. Prince of Ning has the ability to plan things from a distance. Since he said he can't do it now, then he definitely can't. I hope Your Majesty can see it clearly."
Xuanyuan, Emperor of Human said, "What Di Aimin said is reasonable. Qing'er is not someone who doesn't know what is important. Since she said that, she must have something to rely on."
