Before, the saint had already sent Yan Lingyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Wan Qichen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to investigate the matter, and after more than half a month, there was finally a reply.

Originally, the Taihu Lake dam was built when the original emperor was located, and it has been several decades ago, and the water of Taihu Lake often floods, and the dam is seriously damaged, and it has to be repaired every year.

This was built under the personal supervision of the Ministry of Industry at that time, and the quality problem could be absolutely guaranteed, but there was a problem at this juncture, and it also caused great harm to the local people, which means that this matter is not simple.

Anyway, there is no direct conspiracy theory on the saint, so he sent someone to investigate first, and then made a decision when he has the results.

The saint looked at the thick envelope in his hand, even if the words of Wan Qichen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, were extremely handsome, it could not make him feel comfortable.

Slamming the letter in his hand on the table, the saint propped it up with both hands, trying to calm himself down so that it wouldn't explode on the spot.

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry." Gonggong Wei said in a row, put the celadon tea cup in his hand next to the saint, and then knelt on the ground respectfully.

In the end, the saint is the emperor, although he has just passed the coming-of-age ceremony, but they usually don't dare to be easily angered, the dignity of the emperor, you can't blaspheme.

"Is this bullying me to be young and ignorant, or is it relying on the high emperor of the sky, I can't care about it at all, and I dare to do this, if I don't let people check it, I don't know when it will break out?"

Gonggong Wei cautiously looked at His Majesty's expression, and replied thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, listening to the messenger guard's report, the reason why Lord Yan and Lord Wan Qi were able to find out so smoothly is because the fourth prince happened to be there in Taihu Lake."

"Fourth brother? How could he be there? "The Holy One really didn't know about this, or maybe the secret guard sent a letter, and he didn't read it.

It is also impossible for the Holy Lord to let the Four Princes and the Four Princes go to the waves with complete peace of mind, so he sent secret guards to follow, firstly for the sake of safety, and secondly, for well-known reasons.

"Some time ago, there was a shadow guard who sent the news back, His Royal Highness the Four Princes went to Jiangnan in April, and when the Taihu Lake area was flooded, His Royal Highness the Four Princes went first, and took the lead in relocating refugees, and the royal family had an unprecedentedly good reputation."

Gonggong Wei is very concerned about this matter, after all, there are only two princes who come out of this, although His Majesty is very trusting, but in the end he must be vigilant.

The saint nodded, this is indeed something that the fourth brother would do: "Where is the seventh brother?"

Gonggong Wei hurriedly replied, took out the letters written by the fourth prince and the seventh prince from the pile of envelopes, and handed them to the saint.

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince Shadow Guard said that it seems that he went to the desert, and there should be no other things, and nothing else has been reported so far."

"As long as it's safe."

When the prime minister was invited to the imperial study, the saint was relieved to read the two letters and confirm that his brother was fine.

This out of the capital is indeed like letting go of yourself.

"Your Majesty has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Ann." As soon as the prime minister knelt down, the saint went down the steps and stopped: "Your Excellency the prime minister is polite, please sit down and serve tea."

After Gonggong Wei led people to serve the refreshments, he retreated to the side of the saint and stood quietly.

The prime minister didn't need to think much to guess: "Your Majesty asked the old minister to come over, but it was for the waterlogging of Taihu Lake."

"Exactly, Prime Minister, please take a look at this letter." The saint handed it over casually, and Gonggong Wei gave the letter to the prime minister respectfully, and while the prime minister saw it, the saint poured a few glasses of water into himself, so that he would wait for it to explode.

"Where did this letter come from?"

"There is a shadow guard investigation here, as well as Yan Lingyuan, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Wan Qichen, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which has absolute authenticity, and at the beginning of the flooding, the fourth brother wrote a letter to me, in which he wrote that he felt that the situation of the waterlogging was a little special, but there was not enough evidence at that time, so it could only be said to be a guess."

But I didn't expect that in the end, these are indeed true, there are really people who deliberately destroy the embankment, and the middleman embezzled most of the silver taels during the construction, resulting in the construction of the embankment is simply not able to withstand the continuous erosion of waterlogging and waterlogging, so it needs to be built frequently.

If it goes on like this, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, I am afraid that I will not be able to endure the toss.

Compared with His Majesty, who is still young, the Prime Minister is well-informed, and he has been surprised by this matter before, such people always exist, but as long as His Majesty has the determination to rectify it. That's easy to say.

Setting the letter aside, the prime minister picked up his pen and began to write on the paper: "This kind of thing exists at any time. Even when the country was in turmoil and turmoil before, there were people who filled their pockets for themselves, and what they wanted to see was only His Majesty's attitude. ”

"What do you say?"

Even though the Holy Lord had not received an orthodox prince education when he was the Tenth Prince, he understood how easy his current situation was and was not constrained by any other force.

On the contrary, it was supported by others with all their might, which is rare in any era when the emperor is weak and the powerful ministers are in power.

Therefore, he has always been very modest about things he doesn't understand, and he doesn't think that his status can be pretended to understand.

This is also the point that the ministers appreciate the most.

The prime minister's last stroke fell, and the saint stood next to the prime minister and listened to the prime minister's explanation.

"Your Majesty, please see, under normal circumstances, the two silver taels for disaster relief in the DPRK and China are rarely sent directly, and they all have to go through certain procedures in the middle, and these procedures, there are things that someone withholds the silver taels at every step, and the difference may be more or less."

When the saint heard this, his face was already angry, but he was able to suppress his anger and continue to listen to the prime minister's explanation, and the prime minister's eyes were full of appreciation.

"Therefore, when a disaster relief silver arrives at the disaster relief site, it is already excellent to be able to leave half of it, and under normal circumstances, it may not even be a third."

Taking the paper, Shengshang's brows furrowed, and he had a more detailed understanding of the disaster relief matter.

"The people of the area are suffering, and they will not be condemned for leaving the relief money behind so calmly?"

The prime minister's face was still the same, but he faintly smiled: "In fact, this kind of release method of disaster relief silver was already in place before the first emperor, and the first emperor also thought about changing this when he was there, but due to various constraints in the court, it was not realized in the end."

"What do you mean, teacher...... OK? The saint looked at the prime minister in disbelief, and he also heard the implicit meaning of the prime minister.

What I got was the subtlety of the prime minister's smile stroking his well-maintained beard, and this was already the biggest expression for the prime minister who didn't show his anger at Yan Xiao.

"The minister is courageous, but at the same time, the minister also thinks that His Majesty will definitely be able to do this. It is just right to start with the waterlogging of Taihu Lake and directly implement the new way, as for what this new way is, His Majesty needs to think carefully. ”

This is also a test, the original way of answering the question has been given, what the Holy Lord has to do is to think of a new and suitable method, which can deliver the silver taels to the victims as quickly as possible, and pass the least hands, in the safest way.

If it is said that the prime minister has a gap in his chest, he naturally has a suitable method, but this is a consideration for His Majesty, and His Majesty needs to think about it himself.

There are already people to control the flooding of Taihu Lake, so there is no hurry for the time being, and this time is just for those who have filled their pockets from it, and it is difficult to stay at night and suffer from unknown uneasiness.

Seeing the prime minister's thoughts, the saint took a few steps back respectfully: "Yes, don't worry, teacher, I will definitely not disappoint you."

"You can consult all the existing information, give you two days, and when the day after tomorrow, King Sheng and I will enter the palace and listen to your advice, Your Majesty, if this matter can be successful, it will be a huge disaster, and it will be able to go down in history and be remembered through the ages."

The prime minister bowed slightly, with a faint smile.

Any emperor who sits on the throne can't resist the temptation of being able to go down in history and be famous through the ages, after all, people now will remember it, but what is recorded in the history books will be remembered by future generations after the ages.

How to ensure that the disaster relief money can be delivered to the disaster relief area safe and sound is a question that many people have been thinking about. Even the Prime Minister himself has thought about it many times in private.

In the past, it was because of the constraints of various forces in the DPRK and China, but this wish could not be realized.

Now that His Majesty has real power in his hands and the support of several powerful ministers, those who harbor wolf ambitions will surely learn a lesson.

The prime minister paused slightly, and thought of one thing: "Your Majesty, the current Hubu Shangshu is the uncle of the Nine Emperor Princes, Han Qi, the uncle of the Han family, when the Nine Emperor Princes were imprisoned before, Lord Han has always wanted to rescue him, and the position of the Hubu Shangshu is very important."

In just a few words, the causal relationship is clear, and the saint also understands the meaning of the prime minister, if he is a household secretary and favoritism in the middle, I am afraid that there is a huge threat to the government.

In particular, the four princes and the seventh princes have been released and divided into county kings, while the other princes are still locked up in them. Han Qi, the head of the household, has only such a sister, and naturally only has such a nephew, he will naturally do everything possible to rescue the Nine Emperor Princes.

"Your Majesty's concern is what the minister thinks, and the post of the head of the household department is a crucial position for both the court and the locality, and there must be no mistakes."

If there is no matter of the Nine Emperor Princes, or if the Nine Emperor Princes are the county kings, the Hubu Shangshu cannot belong to the Han family, nothing else, but when there was civil strife in the palace back then, what the Han family did could no longer be trusted.

The Holy One has clearly understood the importance. It's just that......

"Although the Korean government has declined, but in the end it is the founding general, and Han Qi is the only one in the Han family who has done the household book, if we take action against Han Qi, I am afraid that the Korean government will not give up."
