After resting for two hours, Guan Duyuan went to drive again.

As he ran, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Grunt." Grunt. Gollum ......"

This is the "little guy" who is in charge of the secret communication between him and Jingyu, that little guy is here, it must be important information or something has happened, Guan Duyuan's heart tightened unconsciously, he slowed down, stretched out a hand, and let the little guy stop on his arm.

Sure enough, the little guy obediently stopped on his arm, and naughtily jumped on his shoulder, rubbing Guan Duyuan's cheeks vigorously, rubbing him itchy and crispy.

The coachman on the side fell asleep and did not notice this scene.

Guan Duyuan tilted his head closer to the little guy and rubbed it too, and it happily cocked its tail and rubbed him harder. It also lifted one foot a while and grabbed its head with its paws to comb its hair.

"Alright, little one, what's the matter, show me."

The little guy really raised his head obediently and handed over his neck, Guan Duyuan quickly groped for it, found out the copper pipe, opened it, and took out the contents inside.

He glanced at the coachman, who was still asleep, so he opened the note with confidence.

"The scorpions met to find a son. Nanjiang Prefecture, floods attract snakes, snakes swallow food, available? Scorpion claw tyrant, how to catch? ”

This is the code word of Jingyu and Guan Duyuan when they communicate, for the sake of safety, even if outsiders get the note, they can't understand it, and the information will not be leaked.

This means that the people of the Nine Princes have met with the inside line in the barracks, which means to find He Gongzi. The prince was in Jiangzhou, Nanjun, and he was greedy for a lot of money, whether he could use this to provoke their disputes. Now the subordinates of the Nine Princes are rampant and domineering, and they have no humanity, how should they be accepted?

It seems that these people are really hateful.

Guan Duyuan read the words on the paper, and his anger suddenly rose, and he even had murderous intentions, if he didn't think about something more important, he would definitely kill back. I thought, "It means to find He Gongzi, what do you want to do, this is to enter the General's Mansion to find someone, just enter the military camp, and want to enter my General's Mansion, how can this General's Mansion be able to enter if you want to?" I don't take me seriously as a general......"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the grip on the reins in his hand increased, and the carriage sped away, and the little fellow was frightened, and shrank back, rolling into Guan Duyuan's arms like a ball, and only after it had settled down did it open one eye and peek at its master.

Guan Duyuan freed up a hand and stroked it twice as a sign of comfort, and the guy snorted a few times, "Really scared?" The little fellow nodded, looked at him pitifully, stroked her a few more times, looked down, and the little fellow quickly stood up and rubbed his head against his chin.

"You guy, you've learned to be skinny! Okay, don't rub it! There's still business waiting for you! ”

When the little guy heard this, he immediately put away his coquettish look, his eyes were wide open, and he jumped on his shoulder, waiting for his master's command.

Guan Duyuan tore off the extra blank space of the note just now, bit his index finger, and quickly wrote two words: "Yes." Wait. The little guy saw his master bite his index finger and grunt in distress, so he quickly jumped down and touched his master's bleeding finger with his mouth. ”

Guan Duyuan quickly folded the note, put it back into the copper pipe, combed its feathers, everything looked the same, touched the little guy's head, and said dotingly: "Go!" Be careful! ”

The little fellow nodded obediently, rubbed against him, stood on his shoulder, shook himself, evacuated his feathers, flapped his wings, and flew away, "Gollum." Grunt. Gollum ......"

The little guy's voice gradually faded away, and Guan Duyuan looked up at the direction it flew to, and drove intently.

The thirteen prefectures of Nanjun are mainly plains, with a few hills and low ridges, and many rivers, which is a paradise rich in grain since ancient times, and is known as the "land of fish and rice". The environment is beautiful, natural granary, but there is also a hidden danger, in the rainy season or rainy days continuously, many rivers are full of water, so floods often occur, which is also quite a headache.

This year, the rainy season is long, the rain has been falling for more than a month, and the rivers have a tendency to flood, so the emperor has long ordered people to prevent floods, build and strengthen rivers, dredge blocked places, and take precautions in advance, which is prescient.

The emperor's intentions are good, but who will go to such a challenging matter?

Above the court, there are layers of trees, all of them are wearing black gauze hats, when evaluating merit and rewarding, the eighteen generations of ancestors can dig out the relationship, there are endless words, but when the emperor wants to use people, ha, the collective silence, this tacit understanding is not generally good!

This matter also made the emperor quite annoyed, disaster relief and flood prevention, there is no one who can calm the scene, it is really not good, not only to convince the people, but also to let the people under his hands do things in a down-to-earth manner, otherwise the little silver allocated by the court is not salty to make salt.

He remembered that two days ago, he had talked to several ministers about this matter in private, and the ministers all proposed to let a prince preside, so the problem came, there were not many princes, three; The four princes went out to guard the northeast border pass, although the nine princes have been crowned kings and given mansions, but their hearts do not have to be on business, they are always intrigued, and there are countless troubles, alas, thinking of the lord, the emperor also has a headache. The crown prince is still calm and decent, but in recent times, the emperor has found that his heart has also deviated, and he was forced by that bastard Lao Jiu!

The emperor sighed, this Lao Jiu also blames himself for being used to giving birth to several princesses in a row, so he is looking forward to such a prince, plus Lao Jiu's mother, Concubine Ye, is gentle and virtuous, and she is bound to be more favored. This habit led to disaster, and the child was overbearing, and his mind was not right, and he harmed his comrades...

He sometimes thinks about how Concubine Ye is gentle and virtuous, why did she give birth to such a bastard son. It seems that having a child is not a matter of one person, and he does not want to think about who the child is with.

The emperor put away his thoughts, sighed in his heart, and looked at the heads shrugged under the court, and he was angry. Angry, he slapped him on the throne, and the people who were down knelt down and prostrate on the ground, "Your Majesty, stop your anger!" ”

In fact, the emperor slapped it down, and his hand was already numb, but he was forced to endure it in front of the public, although no one dared to look at him, he was embarrassed to retract his hand and pretend to be calm.

"Li Shangshu, you say, who is worthy of this position?"

An old man crawling in the third row on the left slowly bowed his feet, his hands clenched into fists, and the wat board in his hand shook untimely.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old man thinks that such a big task is none other than the prince!"

Emperor Wan'er, this was the answer he wanted to hear, but still pretending to be puzzled, he hooked his hand, "Oh? How to say this, what is the high theory of Shangshu is only channeled. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is a major responsibility, if the prince goes, the ministers will be convinced, and everything will get twice the result with half the effort, this is the first, and the second is to send the prince in person to show that Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, cares about the people, is close to the people, and wins the hearts of the people."

The emperor took advantage of the situation and had a pleasant face, "What Shangshu said is reasonable, very good, very good!" All the ministers are flat! ”

The people below were so frightened that they were finally released by the emperor, and they hurriedly shouted in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" They all stood up again.

"According to Shangshu, send a prince, and the secretaries will discuss this, which prince should be sent?"

The two princes, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, were ignorant, and it took a long time to react, and after reacting, they all began to make their own wishful thinking.

The court is noisy, as long as you don't arrange to go by yourself, anyone can go. But above the court, they have already secretly been assigned to support the prince into a faction and the nine princes into a faction, and for this kind of thing that wins the hearts of the people, they all strive for opportunities for their followers.

Those who support the nine kings say that the nine kings should go, on the grounds that "the prince should assist the court"; Those who support the prince say that "since he is the prince, he should be close to the people's livelihood and feel the suffering of the people." There are different opinions, and the arguments are endless, and in the end it is up to the emperor to decide, and they are just witnesses to the emperor's going through the motions.

"All the secretaries are reasonable, the prince is the prince, and he should feel the people's livelihood and suffering, so the prince will go to Jiangzhou, Nanjun to preside over the flood control, and he needs a lot of support and assistance from the princes." Everyone politely agreed.

"The Nine Kings stayed in Beijing, and these days they will assist me in dealing with matters related to the imperial court. The ministers can have objections, if there is no objection, retreat! ”

How dare everyone have objections, they immediately agreed, "Your Majesty is wise", and bowed down and retreated.

Everyone walked out of the court, a group of three, a group of five, one after another towards the gate of the city, each in a group to discuss the things in the court just now, at this time they all came to life, there are endless words.

Jiangzhou, Nanjun, was rainy and rainy, the Daning River rose, and the flood struck, sweeping most of the fertile fields in Jiangzhou, and the crops, trees, and houses were swept away by the river, and the people who did not have time to evacuate were also frantically swept into the turbulent waves......
