Xiao Ze's power has spread over the years, and in order to kill Ling Hua, he did not hesitate to vigorously cultivate secret guards, but he was indeed short of silver.

Because of this, he secretly let people move the money for the construction of the embankment in Hengchuan County, but he didn't expect that a heavy rain would cause the embankment in Hengchuan County to be washed away, and the tofu scum became like this, and it stretched for thousands of miles to suffer.

His hands trembled, and he could barely hold on to the table.

If he let his father know, his crown prince position will definitely not be guaranteed.

His father taught him to love the people like a son since he was a child, and he did this before, but who let the Xichuan chaos that year, he listened to the instigation of the prince and the prince to fight for credit, boasted in front of the courtiers that Haikou could quell the Xichuan rebellion, and later, he put himself on the fire, afraid of losing his words to his father, afraid that his father would be disappointed in him, afraid of losing his trust in the courtiers, afraid that the courtiers would shake his head and sigh at him, saying that he was not standing, and his virtue was not worthy, he could only secretly smash tens of millions of taels of silver to quell the Xichuan Rebellion.

And where did the ten million taels of silver come from? He has a powerful Taifu, so he naturally hollowed out Jiangnan Caoyun.

So much so, later, in order to make up for the deficit of Jiangnan Caoyun, he moved to devour the Ling family and framed the Ling family, but he was reluctant to think about the youngest daughter of the Ling family in his heart, so he said a sentence to Wang Jin in front of his father, and his father remembered that Wang Jin was Ling Hua's grandfather, so after consideration, he did not pardon Mrs. Ling, but left Ling Hua.

But Ling Hua unexpectedly knocked on the drum to sue the emperor, not afraid of being killed, held on to his breath, and went to the front of the palace to request a retrial of the Jiangnan Caoyun case, therefore, he folded into the prince and the prince, not to mention, but also into the prince and the prince as a henchman, those are all the people who can be used in his East Palace, and he has suffered heavy losses.

He can't hate, he regrets it, but he can't regret it.

Later, Ling Hua was in charge of Jiangnan Caoyun, and he didn't have much murderous intent at first, but more just regretted it, but as she took over Jiangnan Caoyun, the more places that hindered the East Palace, whether it was the people in the East Palace or what the East Palace did, they were all restrained by her in all aspects, and he really moved the killing intent.

The Cheng family is not as good as the Ling family at all, so even if he accepts Cheng Liangdi, it will slightly alleviate the urgent need of the East Palace, but it is not enough. As he recultivated the forces that had been damaged by Ling's paintings, he became more and more in need of silver, and two years ago, with Qian Geng's advice, he used the money from Hengchuan County to build a dam.

Qian Geng clearly said that a small embankment, if the silver is moved, nothing will happen to the big deal, and it won't use so much money at all, but now that the incident has only happened two years ago, such a big thing has happened in Hengchuan County.

And Qian Geng has been cut in half.

Xiao Ze thought back to how he came to such a passive situation step by step, he felt incredible, he really didn't think about hurting the people, he was thinking about waiting for him to ascend the throne, he wanted to sit as a better emperor than his father.

Now that the disaster in Hengchuan County stretches for thousands of miles, how many people will be lost? How many fertile fields? How many livelihoods? He didn't dare to think about it at all.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Seeing that Xiao Ze had not moved for a long time, the ministers looked tentatively.

Xiao Ze closed his eyes, his voice was hoarse, and there was a vague emotion that he couldn't suppress, "What about the messenger sent by Wen Xingzhi?" ”

The subordinate replied cautiously, "It's already gone." ”

Xiao Ze immediately said, "Call Jiang Hao." ”

The subordinate answered and ordered someone to call Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao came soon, and seeing that Xiao Ze's face was pale, obviously something was wrong, he arched his hand and said calmly, "Your Highness!" ”

Xiao Ze saw Jiang Hao, calmed down for a moment, and said bluntly, "Hengchuan County has a big flood, the dam is broken, and the disaster stretches for thousands of miles, this palace called you to come so that you can find a way as soon as possible, how can you calm this matter?" ”

Jiang Hao was also shocked, "Is it the embankment in Hengchuan County two years ago?" ”

"Yes."

Jiang Hao didn't speak for a long time.

Two years ago, the treasury allocated silver to build a dam in Hengchuan County, and at that time allocated three million taels of silver, which was Fang Jing, who served as an inspection envoy, to inspect Hengchuan County, and gave the excerpt to His Majesty, saying that the embankment in Hengchuan County must be repaired, and His Majesty attached great importance to Fang Jingzeng's excerpt, so that Feng Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, personally took people to Hengchuan County, and Feng Cheng came back to tell him that he wanted to repair the embankment in Hengchuan County, and he needed three million taels of silver.

At that time, His Majesty breathed a sigh of relief, did not immediately agree, although the treasury was abundant because of Wang Jin's eight or nine tenths of the family wealth, but Jiangnan Caoyun was almost completely paralyzed, implicated in many inputs, at that time, Ling Hua saved Jiangnan Caoyun for only a year, although he had handed over beautiful results, but he had not been able to save Jiangnan Caoyun as a whole, and what he did was far from enough, so if the treasury was allocated three million taels of silver, it would also be a big expense.

Later, Fang Jingzeng gave His Majesty another excerpt, and pleaded with him to affirm the importance of the construction of the embankment in Hengchuan County.

After the silver was dialed down, Fang Jingzeng's body and bones had reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, Fang Jing had been His Majesty's companion, also a brother and friend, for 20 years, for His Majesty to inspect all places, punish evil and promote good, punish a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, of course, also provoked a lot of people, suffered many assassinations and assassinations, but also fell ill, his last stop was Hengchuan County, supporting his body on the last fold, knowing that the silver was dialed down, but a matter of heart, the fold said that he could no longer serve His Majesty, so he closed his eyes and left.

At that time, there was a shortage of silver in the East Palace, and money was used everywhere, Qian Geng said that he would move this silver, Jiang Hao felt that it was not appropriate, Qian Geng went to Hengchuan County to investigate, and came back to say that Fang Jing had said too much, according to him, Hengchuan County is good, even if the embankment is built, from the topography, it will not take three million taels of silver, at most hundreds of thousands of taels, can make the embankment resist the flood.

He also brought back the topographic map of Hengchuan County at that time, he also read it, and he also felt that Fang Jing had said something too much, probably when he was old, when he was dying, he did something foolish?

So, he didn't object again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that he said this, and naturally he had no opinion, after all, the East Palace was really short of silver.

So, after some operation, 2.4 million taels of silver were moved. 600,000 taels were left for Hengchuan County.

Unexpectedly, in just two years, Hengchuan County was flooded, not to mention the dam, and it stretched for thousands of miles. It really made Fang Jing give his words.

"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Ze looked at Jiang Hao, "Even you can't do it?" ”

Jiang Hao's mood was very heavy, his best friend Qian Geng was beheaded in half, and he died a miserable death, now that something like this happened, he didn't know what to say, his mind was booming, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Your Highness, send someone to Hengchuan County immediately!" Once this news leaks out, Miss Ling will definitely not let go of the opportunity to bite the East Palace to death. ”

"Since Wen Xingzhi has already gotten the news, will Ling Hua have also gotten the news?" Xiao Ze really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

"I can't say." Jiang Hao wasn't very sure, after all, Ling Hua was smart and well-informed, "Such a big event, once she knows that there is Donggong's handiwork behind her, she will definitely not let it go lightly." ”

"What can you do by sending someone to Hengchuan County now?" Xiao Ze asked, "Can't you let this palace send someone to help the disaster in private, right?" There was such a big incident, since the palace knew about it, it didn't go to tell his father, but he privately sent someone to Hengchuan County for disaster relief? Doing such a thing, wouldn't my father doubt the purpose of the palace? Didn't the courtiers suspect and speculate? ”

Jiang Hao said, "Your Highness, don't worry, let the ministers think about it." ”

Xiao Ze also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, but he just couldn't calm down, and the whole person was very panicked.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment, and said heavily, "Your Highness, there are two methods, the best policy is to immediately send someone to Hengchuan County to destroy all the evidence at the beginning, and those who handle it, those who know the inside story, will all be killed, and then, through the people of the East Palace, hand over the fold, go up to the heavens, and tell Your Majesty about it, Your Majesty will be furious when he learns of this, and order a thorough investigation of the cause, and then, send someone to Hengchuan County immediately for disaster relief, and the first to go to the East Palace is the people of the East Palace, Your Highness, although you are now thinking about it behind closed doors, you can also take this opportunity to go to the fold, I ask Your Majesty to give you a chance to atone for your sins, and you invite yourself to go out of Beijing to Hengchuan County for disaster relief, and take the opportunity to erase the traces of the year, not to mention, but also take the opportunity to break this situation and think about it behind closed doors. ”

Xiao Ze nodded, "What's next?" ”

Jiang Hao continued, "The best policy is in the case that Ling Hua didn't get the news to investigate, once he gets the news to investigate, the best policy will not be so effective, just use the next policy, that is, the person who stopped her, and can't let him collect evidence to come to Beijing to expose it, we will immediately lay out now, abandon Wu Yi, the guard of Hengchuan County, save his family, and let him come out to take all the crimes, because he has an old relationship with the Jiangbei County Palace, so we may also be able to press the crime on the body of the Jiangbei County Palace, the same surname Chu, Where is Your Majesty not a little defensive and suspicious of the Jiangbei County Palace? ”

After hearing this, Xiao Ze clenched his fists, "Okay, just do as you say, send the head guard of the East Palace to Hengchuan County, limited to two days, two days later, someone will fold the matter, report the matter, and the palace will take the opportunity to ask for a decree to go out of Beijing." ”
