044 First Meeting

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in his ears, and Gu Qingge raised his eyes and happened to see a team of people and horses quickly passing through the street and heading towards the city.

Gu Tingge couldn't help but clench his palms, and the carefully groomed and moist nails sank deep into the delicate skin of his palms, faintly, with some bloody gas.

Her hands trembled unconsciously, even her arms trembled, and then her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Gu Qinge's eyes burst with intense hatred, and it was the first time that a pair of eyes that had been smeared by mist had such obvious mood swings.

Qin Jingwen!

It turned out to be Qin Jingwen!

That's right, the person who just passed by was indeed Qin Jingwen, although it was only a flash, but Gu Tingge was sure that he was Qin Jingwen.

Such a deep memory, even if it was just a silhouette passing by, he could recognize it, it was Qin Jingwen.

Qin Jingwen rode on the horse, pulling the reins with one hand and raising the horsewhip with the other, the crown of his hair was a little scattered, and he smelled of wind and dust.

The dust kicked up by the horses' hooves went all the way to the city, apparently heading straight for the palace.

Gu Tingge remembered that at this time in his previous life, a flood broke out in Jiangcheng, affecting the nearby Lixun, Zhuoyang, Luojun and other places, the people were displaced, and there were many complaints.

** Quarrel with the Second Prince's Party, the noisy Emperor Yuan had a headache, and then compromised, no one was elected, and Qin Jingwen was entrusted with the important task.

**The reason for the dispute with the Second Prince's Party is very simple, that is, the richness of Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the reason why it is called Jiangcheng is also because there are many rivers in its boundaries, the water is abundant, it is a land of fish and rice, and the taxes of Jiangcheng alone are worth the taxes of the entire northwest, and it is precisely because of its abundant products that the grain and grass of the first team are mostly supplied by Jiangcheng, which shows the importance of Jiangcheng.

It can be said that as long as you hold Jiang Cheng in your hands, you will hold the most important lifeblood of the Cheng ** team - grain and grass.

However, the area around Jiangcheng is mountainous and is the birthplace of many rivers, which leads to the recovery of everything after winter, and the water after the melting of ice and snow on the mountain flows into the river, making the river water soar and prone to flooding.

Historically, Jiangcheng has built water conservancy many times, with little effect, and there will be a small flood almost every year, but as long as the hidden dangers are discovered early and properly managed, it is also easy to eliminate.

In the face of almost a hundred benefits and no harm, ** and the Second Prince's Party naturally want to desperately grab this beauty difference.

Even if you can't hold Jiangcheng and control the floods, not to mention the catty among the donations, even the good reputation of the people is also sought after by the princes.

After all, fame is like water, and it can carry a boat.

Gu Tingge knew that in fact, Emperor Yuan sent Qin Jingwen for disaster relief not because of random selection, but because of the pillow wind that Qin Jingwen's biological mother, Concubine Xian, blew in Emperor Yuan's ears.

Concubine Xian is the eldest daughter of the crown prince Fu Linpu, and she entered the palace just to compete for the prince's favor.

The crown prince Qin Yanping is the eldest son of Emperor Yuan, not a concubine, and his mother is only Lin Zhaoyi, who has a low position.

In that year, Emperor Qin Teng of the Yuan Dynasty attacked the imperial city of Siguo in the former dynasty, and when he could not start a protracted war for a long time, Lin Zhaoyi, who was still a beauty at the time, gave birth to a baby boy, and then miraculously, Qin Teng's army successfully broke through the imperial city of Siguo and won the throne in one fell swoop.

Qin Teng was overjoyed, thinking that this child was the gospel from heaven, affirming that he was the oracle of the Emperor of Heaven, and immediately promoted Lin Meimei to Lin Zhaoyi, named the baby boy as the prince, and promoted the book to make Lin Pu the prince's concubine, and gave the East Palace as the prince's mansion, and waited for the prince to move when he became an adult.

After that, Lin Pu did his best to assist the prince, and because of the low status of the prince's mother, it was almost difficult to see Emperor Yuan, so Lin Pu sent his daughter Lin Qi to the palace to consolidate his favor, so as to maintain the status of the prince.

Lin Qi first entered the palace as Qi Xiuyi, and then with his beauty and wisdom, he was promoted all the way to one of the three concubines, Concubine Xian, and gave birth to the fifth prince Qin Jingwen.

If it was said that Lin Qi had no two hearts to support the prince before, Gu Tingge believed it, but after Qin Jingwen was born, Lin Qi still maintained his original intention, and Gu Tingge didn't believe it.

The various experiences in his previous life told Gu Qinge that this Lin Qi was not simple.

Therefore, in this life, Qin Jingwen was able to get the errand of dealing with the floods and disaster relief in Jiangcheng, Gu Tingge was not surprised, and even felt a little ironic.

After the Jiangcheng flood ended perfectly, Emperor Yuan was overjoyed, named Qin Jingwen as the king of Yu, and gave him the residence of the king of Yu.

You must know that Qin Jingwen was not crowned king before this, but he became a prince just because of the management of the floods in Jiangcheng, although he was not as good as other princes, he also had his own separate mansion.

This is exactly what Gu Tingge has not thought through.

The prince is mediocre and has a generous personality; King Gong is shrewd and thoughtful, and in terms of personality alone, the crown prince is not very suitable for the throne.

Among all the adult princes, only Qin Jingwen has not been crowned king, but the virtuous concubine is favored, and the prince's mother, whom he is superficially attached to, has a low status, except for a grandfather of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, who can almost be called nothing in terms of power; And Emperor Yuan's mother Gong, who was greatly appreciated by Emperor Yuan, was the concubine of the third concubine, whose position was higher than that of the virtuous concubine, and behind it was the Duke of Dong Guofu, which alone far exceeded the crown prince.

Therefore, above the court, King Gong's arguments often contradicted the crown prince, but Emperor Yuan never reprimanded, and gradually formed a situation where King Gong and the crown prince are equal today.

If there is no acquiescence of Emperor Yuan, Gu Tingge does not believe it, it is obvious that King Gong was supported by Emperor Yuan to contain the crown prince, so why did Emperor Yuan do this?

Is it to suppress the crown prince in order to consolidate his position? Or does he have a more suitable candidate for the crown prince in his heart, and he will only wait for a suitable opportunity to set up another one?

If it is the former, isn't Emperor Yuan worried that King Gong will surpass the crown prince and threaten the throne?

Or the latter, then who will be the best candidate for the crown prince in Emperor Yuan's heart?

No matter what Emperor Yuan thought, this was Gu Qinge's chance.

If Emperor Yuan was really dissatisfied with the crown prince, then how could Qin Jingwen, who ostensibly supported him behind the crown prince, attract Emperor Yuan's affection?

Qin Jingwen rose to power, perhaps Emperor Yuan noticed the imbalance of power in the court, and deliberately supported and suppressed King Gong, or maybe it was the virtuous concubine who was maneuvering in the middle.

However, Qin Jingwen can be crowned king today because of Jiang Cheng, so in his future, she Gu Tingge will definitely be able to let him be belittled because of Jiang Cheng.

Gu Tingge's eyes looked through the thick curtain, and he seemed to be able to see Qin Jingwen's ambition and high spirits.

She clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the hatred that surged from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Jingwen, you wait, wait for me Gu Tingge to destroy your lifelong wish step by step!
