"General Chu is really a person of noble character, and having someone like General Chu is really a blessing for Tanglin." Xu Qingchang said quietly.

How could Chu Nanyue not hear the mockery in his tone? But she thinks she is worthy of her heart, and what she says comes from her heart, and she doesn't need to make any proof to Xu Qingchang.

"Lord Xu is polite. But now that the matter is said and done, I have refused. Please go back sooner. Chu Nanyue's eyes were indifferent.

Xu Qingchang looked at her for a while before nodding and saying, "Okay, General Chu." The Xu family has shown favor to you, but you have such an attitude. Xia Guan had nothing to say. ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

There was nothing pleasant about the conversation between the two, but Chu Nanyue was not angry. She even began to think about Xu Qingchang.

In the previous life, Xu Qingchang and Chu Nanxin were engaged early, and she had met them a few times.

But after all, Chu Nanyue was cut off from too many things in the outside world because she got married too early, and she knew too little about Xu Qingchang, and it was better to see than to hear.

Only then did Chu Nanyue see Xu Qingchang, he was too young and had little experience, he was really a newcomer to officialdom.

Such people are too immature and naïve, even arrogant. Xu Qingchang was a newcomer to officialdom, and when he first grasped the power in his hands, he felt that as long as he opened his mouth, others would inevitably agree to his request.

Just like the Xu family.

The Marquis of Pyeongchang made great achievements and won the trust of the emperor.

Because Concubine Duan entered the palace and was favored, although Dongling Hong was not a concubine, he was also valued by the emperor.

The Xu family has grown stronger step by step, and its family is more prominent than before, so naturally there is no one in their eyes and they are arrogant.

I don't know how many officials in the DPRK and China have also encountered such coercion today due to the power of the Xu family.

Then fortunately, the memory of the previous life gave Chu Nanyue a little comfort.

The Xu family will not last long. The same goes for Tanglin Hong. She didn't know how the emperor was disgusted with Dongling Hong, but the ingenious trajectory of this life made him figure it out little by little.

Perhaps in this Pingjiang water case, even if the emperor did not say it explicitly, he also had a trace of disappointment in his heart about Tanglin Hong.

Chu Nanyue didn't know much about the emperor, but he also knew that the emperor was the most simple person. Under the emperor's advocacy, the cost of the Tanglin Palace has been reduced year by year. The people of Tanglin have praised the emperor as a rare emperor.

And Dongling Hong, such a prince, is extravagant. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he has done things that harm the interests of the people.

Chu Nanyue had the audacity to think that if the emperor chose a reliable successor, he was afraid that Dongling Hong would already be excluded.

"General, you should have spoken more tactfully. If it angers the Xu family, won't there be trouble? Qingshuang worried.

Chu Nanyue raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "How about being tactful?" What about being straightforward? Instead of being entangled with the Xu family, it is better to clarify the views and positions and refuse this time. ”

If she was afraid of the Xu family's revenge, she would not have treated Tanglin Hong like this earlier. And since he has torn his face with Dongling Hong, he doesn't have to care about the Xu family.

Because it's useless to care.

"General......" Qingshuang was already worried about Chu Nanyue, but when she heard Chu Nanyue's words at this moment, she was even more worried.

Chu Nanyue smiled: "What are you afraid of?" King Yu and the Xu family are now losing their wings, and they must have a good rest. Where is the kung fu to get revenge on me? ”

What's more, she is only working in her position, and there is no personal grudge with Tanglin Hong. It is to protect the interests of the people that today's things have come about. Even if Dongling Hong is not clear about this, the emperor also understands it in his heart. In other words, the emperor is her backer.

The emperor knew that he had wronged her this time, and although he didn't say anything on his face, he felt like a mirror in his heart. If one day Tanglin Hong dares to be unfavorable to her, Chu Nanyue believes that the emperor will not sit idly by.

Early the next morning.

Chu Nanyue went to the Yamen to meet several ministers of the Ministry of Industry.

The ministers discussed the specific construction plan with Zhang Song, and now the weather is good, which is suitable for construction, and if the construction starts early, it will be completed in about half a month.

Chu Nanyue knew that she was not an expert in water conservancy engineering, and in this regard, she was willing to hand over all the power to the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

But before the official start of construction, she also had to give a few more instructions.

Chu Nanyue said: "This project does not pay attention to time, and the length of time does not matter. The most important thing is that everything must be in accordance with the norms, and no corners are cut. ”

The officials also nodded and said in unison, "What General Chu said is true." After several constructions, the water conservancy of the Pingjiang River is now required to fill in the underground canals, but it is necessary to ensure that the original river bank is not damaged in any way. Everything about the embankment is based on solidity, and the lower officials naturally know it. ”

Everything is complete. Chu Nanyue and Zhang Song came to the bank of the Pingjiang River with the ministers.

Chu Nanyue's personal soldiers stood on the shore in formation, they were all good at fighting, but in peacetime, they played different roles.

The ministers requisitioned these hundreds of pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way from Yuwangfu to fill the underground canal, and cut off the outlet of Yuwangfu Tanshui. The other way starts from Pingjiang.

Near the Pingjiang embankment, the mouth that King Yu used to divert water was also repaired little by little, and it was as good as ever.

Although the amount of work is large, there are many soldiers under Chu Nanyue, and the ministers are all working together. So under the effort of a small half month, the underground canal has been filled.

When he reported to the emperor again, Chu Nanyue did not ask for credit, but put all the credit on several officials of the Ministry of Industry, and asked the emperor to reward them.

Chu Nanyue thought simply, the Ministry of Industry built water conservancy projects, and worked harder than her on weekdays, and she should have more credit than her.

Because of her humility, the officials of the Ministry of Industry were also full of praise for Chu Nanyue.

Above the court, the direction of the wind has gradually changed. Because Tanglin Hong has not been in the early dynasty for a month and a half. Dongling Hong's cronies were also demoted from the capital at the same time, and the ministers have begun to speculate whether Dongling Hong has committed any mistakes.

At the same time, the Pingjiang Water case was perfectly resolved. Chu Nanyue and the officials of the Ministry of Industry, as well as Zhang Song, have all been rewarded by His Majesty, which is undoubtedly a signal.

All the ministers have speculated that perhaps Donglinghong's sudden accident is related to Chu Nanyue.

What's even more intriguing is that since Tanglin Hong was asked to stay in the mansion, neither Dongling Yan nor Tanglin Shuo has ever visited him in the mansion.

Therefore, it is either Tanglin Hong's illness or another hidden secret. Either Dongling Hong has been rejected by his brothers, or even by the emperor.

Although the ministers did not say anything, they had already made a decision in their hearts.

So it was only half a month's work, and when Dongling Hong returned to the court again, there were few officials left who were really willing to stand behind him.

Everyone else has already voted for Tanglin Hong and Dongling Shuo to support these two princes.

The Xu family was undoubtedly hit, but fortunately, the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Duan did not change. The time when Dongling Hong was punished had passed, and the emperor did not say anything more.
