Tong Shunmin and Shen Shikang's faces changed suddenly, the repair and reinforcement of the river embankment was handled by their Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and the officials related to them were naturally the officials of their two ministries.

They didn't take less of the filial piety of those people below, this was originally a custom, but at the moment they felt very hot.

If it is really found that there is something wrong with the river embankment, they will be reprimanded, and it is very likely that they will lose their official positions and be demoted.

The prince's eyebrows furrowed slightly, Shen Shikang is his uncle, and this household has a lot to do with this matter, and he is afraid that it will be a little difficult to do.

"Tong Shunmin, you immediately send officials to Jiangnan and other places to inspect and set off overnight."

The emperor thought about it and felt that he was not at ease with the officials who were dispatched to the Ministry of Works.

"I will send a minister and a prime minister, and another overseer of the imperial history! Qian Huichun of Changtianfu dared to conceal it and not report it, I am bound to be held responsible! ”

When Xia Qing heard this, his face tightened, and then a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"As for the candidates, do you have any suggestions?" The emperor glanced at everyone present, waiting for everyone to respond.

The crown prince swept his gaze over those courtiers, and finally his gaze fell on Gu Chengyu, he had an idea in his heart, that is, he didn't know if his father would agree.

"Father! The floods in the south of the Yangtze River are serious, and the sons are willing to share their worries for their father and go to the disaster relief! ”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at the prince, what does the second child mean? Go to Gangnam in person?

This is not impossible, although the prince is a prince, he is also a courtier.

If the crown prince can be allowed to go, as long as this errand is done, the prince can still gain some prestige in Jiangnan and prepare for his accession to the throne in the future.

The emperor's thoughts are exactly what the prince is thinking at the moment.

The prince is not such a selfless person, although he went to Jiangnan to worry about the people, but he also had the intention of planning for himself.

"Your Highness, as the crown prince, you must not risk yourself! Who knows if the embankments of those state capitals will collapse again? Deng Chenghong, the imperial historian of Zuodu, immediately objected.

Gu Chengyu was not surprised at all that the prince Mao Sui recommended himself, something had already happened, and the prince should not have to take too much risk when he went now.

Even if he doesn't handle it well, it's just being scolded.

But if it is handled well, it will be a great achievement, and it can also harvest the faith of the people and establish its own prestige.

And if you go before the levee bursts, the consequences will be immeasurable. After all, you must be fully prepared, once the embankment bursts and the people are drowned, then he, the crown prince, will be applied by the emperor.

Even if he is considered incompetent by the officials and the people, it is meaningless for this prince to be in front of him.

"It's too dangerous to go here, is there no one in the court who can use it, so I have to let you, the crown prince, go ahead?"

The emperor was a little displeased, and the words he said were naturally not very beautiful.

The prince's face sank slightly, even though he had been prepared to be rejected before, but being so reprimanded by his father in front of the officials still hurt his face a little.

The emperor saw that the prince pursed his lips and was silent, and he also knew that his tone was a little inappropriate, so he hurriedly said: "You are the prince, you should put your own safety first, it is a matter of the country, Jiangnan is just a piece of the country's territory." ”

Although the emperor's words were bitterly persuasive, Gu Chengyu thought that there was a suspicion of wanting to cover up. It seems that the emperor is really jealous of the crown prince!

Especially now that the crown prince has shown his ability, the emperor is more defensive than before.

Gu Chengyu looked at his nose and nose, and it was impossible for him to recommend himself, so he would inevitably fall behind.

While worrying about the people, he could not give up on his own interests.

Taking 10,000 steps back, only by being in a high position can we better benefit the people. Of course, this is a high-sounding statement.

To tell the truth, he wants to be promoted and make a fortune, and human nature is selfish.

He was confident that the emperor would definitely send him to Jiangnan in the end, after all, the emperor also saw his performance just now.

Even if not now, it will be afterwards.

When the emperor saw Gu Chengyu's face indifferent, like an old monk, he knew that he was taking Qiao again.

But Gu Chengyu has such confidence, and every time he explains something, Gu Chengyu can complete it.

Let's ask the DPRK and China, who has such ability?

Today, the emperor is very dissatisfied with those ministers in the court, and the court's Yulu has raised them all with fat brains, but they can't even do what he explains.

The emperor went through all the people who could be used in the court, and he sadly found that he was dissatisfied with everyone.

In this huge court, except for Gu Chengyu, there is no one to his liking?

The emperor did not give up, and thought carefully about the newly promoted officials, and he suddenly thought of Min Feng, a disciple of Xia Qing.

Didn't Xia Qing always boast about Haikou in front of him before, saying that his disciple Min Feng was extraordinary, and asked him to give Min Feng more chances?

He also learned that Xia Qing had handed a letter to the officials before, and Min Feng was now a waiter of Zheng Liupin.

Promoted two levels in two years, if it weren't for Min Feng's teacher who was the first assistant, it would be absolutely impossible.

Of course, Gu Chengyu is definitely an exception. Gu Chengyu's grade has improved so quickly, relying on his own political achievements.

It's just a positive sixth grade, and the emperor doesn't want to refute Xia Qing's face too much. Regarding this matter, he only mentioned a few words at that time, so that Xia Qing knew it in his heart.

Speaking of Min Feng, he has some ability, and he is not such an unbearable person.

Compared with the average new science and technology jinshi, there are still some advantages. It's a pity that with Gu Chengyu Zhuyu in front, Min Feng naturally lost his brilliance.

Since that's the case, let him see what Min Feng is capable of.

By the way, it played a role in warning Gu Chengyu, so that Gu Chengyu should not think too highly of himself, thinking that this court would not be able to do without him.

He is the Ninety-Five, and he can carry whoever he wants. In order to better control Gu Chengyu in the future, the emperor planned to send Min Feng out first to see his ability.

As for Gu Chengyu, it was better to wait a few more days, which made him anxious.

But as for whether Min Feng can handle this matter well, the emperor expressed deep doubts, and he naturally couldn't put all his hopes on Min Feng.

"Xia Aiqing! I heard that your disciple Min Feng is extraordinary, why don't you send him this time! ”

Xia Qing was shocked when he heard this, this was indeed an opportunity. Not only has he gained experience, but he has also handled it well, and promotion is inevitable.

But the ability of the little disciple naturally knew in his heart that although Min Feng had calmed down a lot in the past two years, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were widely implicated.

Not to mention Min Feng, even the old ministers who have been in the officialdom for a long time in the DPRK may not be able to handle this matter.

Isn't the emperor embarrassed him and his little disciple? Jiangnan is not only a flood, but also a river embankment, and even these high-ranking officials in the capital will definitely be implicated.

Don't you have the courage to do that? Not! The little disciple doesn't have this ability yet.

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised by the emperor's choice, he knew that the emperor might not choose him to go to Jiangnan at first.
