Pang Chu was full of smiles, looking at Gu Chengyu's forehead without a trace of sweat, he still looked so personable, and couldn't help but feel envious.

Gu Chengyu was very surprised, he didn't expect the prince to suddenly look for him.

"Oh? Then please ask Pang Gonggong to lead the way! Gu Chengyu didn't ask Pang Chu what the prince was looking for him, after all, Pang Chu was not a little full-fledged son and was not familiar with him.

Pang Chu is the chief manager of the prince's side, and he should know very well about how Gu Chengyu became the chief of Zhan Shifu.

For an official who is not in the same vein as his master, don't just let people get closer to you, this is human nature.

Therefore, both of them are face-saving, and every time they meet, they salute and say hello, and they are all courteous.

Gu Chengyu followed Pang Chu into the study of Wenhua Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the prince sitting behind the bookcase.

Gu Chengyu's eyes glanced to the side, and he was surprised to find that the officials of Zhan Shifu were all here, even Zhan Shi Zhang Shuo and his third senior brother.

Only the teacher Liang Zhirui was not there, because the teacher went out to Beijing to visit friends, and I am afraid that it will take a few days to return.

Anyway, the teacher doesn't need to go to the East Palace every day to teach, the teacher is very knowledgeable, and only when the prince summons him will he enter the East Palace to give a lecture on the prince's scriptures.

If the prince is not summoned for a long time, the teacher will go to the East Palace to go through the motions six days later.

After all, taking on the position of the prince and the prince, although it is a false position, it cannot be too loose.

Could it be that something big is happening? Gu Chengyu went through what had happened in the court recently, but there didn't seem to be anything major in the court recently.

He suddenly thought of the heavy rain in Jiangnan, and he knew it in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Prince!"

The prince smiled all over his face, and his face was soft, "Master Gu doesn't need to be polite!" ”

Gu Chengyu got up, and then saluted the other two peaks.

After everyone saluted according to their grades, Gu Chengyu found a seat and sat down.

"I invite you to come over today, because I have something important to discuss! This palace knows that you are busy with official affairs, but this matter is a major matter, related to the people, related to the country, and the palace, as the prince, has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

When the prince said this, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had encountered something difficult.

He Jisheng's eyes flashed slightly, and the prince urgently summoned them over, not because of the fact that many state capitals in Jiangnan were invaded by heavy rain.

Now it depends on what the prince wants, if the prince wants to intervene in this matter, then he has to report this matter to that person, and if he can't say it, he can let the prince mess up this matter.

Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and hurriedly responded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, as an official of the Zhan Mansion, the ministers should have shared your worries and solved problems. As the crown prince, you are the emperor's military supervisor and the country, and you should take care of the world's major affairs. ”

He Jisheng saw Zhang Shuo's statement, and he was not far behind.

"What Lord Zhang said is very true, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about. Although we can't compare to your majesty and majesty, we also want to do our best to share one or two for you. ”

Gu Chengyu smiled silently, there are two peaks here, and it is not his turn to express his position.

In fact, it is quite speechless, three of their masters and apprentices are all on errands in the Zhan Mansion, which is not allowed according to the law.

But as soon as the teacher is a fictitious position, he is also part-time, and he usually doesn't take care of things, so he can barely have an explanation.

Second, in recent years, the emperor has become more and more freewheeling, and he can't listen to the opposition and advice of officials at all.

Besides, the situation of Gu Chengyu and Liang Zhirui will not affect the Chaogang, not to mention that Gu Chengyu is still only an official from the fifth grade, although he has been in the limelight in the past two years, but those high-ranking officials have not taken him as a low-grade official.

Therefore, they couldn't make the emperor unhappy about this matter, so they simply followed the emperor.

Gu Chengyu made up his mind to be low-key and low-key, so he thought he was here to make soy sauce.

"In recent days, many state capitals in Jiangnan have been raining heavily for days, and I believe you have all heard of it."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not beat around the bush, and he was actually very worried about this matter. simply didn't be polite anymore and went straight to the point.

This matter was mentioned by the minister at the court meeting yesterday, but it did not attract much attention from the officials and the emperor at that time.

They think that the embankment of the Tianya River is firm, and the vegetables have just been repaired and strengthened this year, so there should be no problem.

If the river overflows the embankment, then the people will be dispersed first, and at most the people will lose some property.

The torrential rain has been falling for more than half a month, and it is unlikely that it will last for much longer. In a few days at most, it will stop.

When the time comes, the emperor will reduce the taxes of the submerged farmland, and this matter will be solved.

In the end, the emperor sent a right-hand capital Yushi to the prime minister Jiangdao, and then ordered a Lang Zhong from the Ministry of Industry's Dushui Qing Officials Division, and rushed to several state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River to inspect the situation.

This arrangement was already in place, and Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Works went to check whether the embankment was strong. As long as the embankment is strong, nothing big will happen.

But the prince was very concerned about this matter, and he had also received an errand from the Ministry of Works, and he had learned about it.

Every three or five years, is it true that all the money allocated by the imperial court to repair the river embankment is used to repair the river embankment?

Layer by layer, there will always be people who can't help but secretly reach for this silver. And there are many such people, and they can't be prevented at all.

The court and the emperor naturally understand that when the water is clear, there are no fish. As long as it is not too excessive, the emperor and courtiers can only open one eye and close one eye.

What's more, some officials in Beijing are still related to this matter, and some of them have been honored and have a clear heart.

Some of the officials who were already in charge of the money were naturally not talkative.

Whatever the reason, I was blind anyway.

Now the prince is worried that those low-level officials are too greedy for ink, and have turned the repair of the river embankment into a good time to accumulate wealth for themselves.

The wealth is moving, and the prince is also for the sake of the people. If something really happened, wouldn't so many people living by the river be buried in the river?

"Indeed! Two days ago, officials in the court raised this matter, but the emperor has already assigned officials to go to the state capital in Jiangnan, and His Royal Highness does not need to worry too much! As long as the embankment is strong, it will not get in the way! ”

Zhang Shuo was a little unimpressed, it was not that such a thing had happened in the past few years.

Every year, the river water in the south of the Yangtze River will soar during the flood season, but this year's rainstorm has been a few days longer, and the river water has risen more than in previous years!

As long as it doesn't rain anymore, the river won't rise again.

The crown prince frowned when he heard this, and then said: "This palace asked Qin Tianjian and said that the torrential rain in Jiangnan and other places will last for at least two days. The embankment is strong, but if the water overflows, it will also flood the fertile land and the people's belongings will also suffer. ”

Zhang Shuo's face was a little unsightly, and the prince's words were clearly intended to refute him.

In front of so many subordinates, Zhang Shuo thought that he had lost face.

But he was the prince, and he couldn't refute it, so he stopped answering.
