Chapter 481 The Yellow River Floods
In the imperial study, Gonggong Hai carefully put the white fungus lotus seed soup in his hand on the table, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have been watching the music all night, and the servant ordered the people in the imperial dining room to make a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, you can use some!" β
The emperor glanced at the bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup on the table, put down the fold in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed: "Where do you put it!" I'll use it later. β
Gonggong Hai looked at the tiredness on the emperor's face, and persuaded again: "Your Majesty, you haven't rested all night, just look at these twists and turns, if you continue like this, the old slave is worried that your dragon body will not be able to bear it!" β
"When the Yellow River flooded, how many people suffered along the way? The grain planted on the edge of the Yellow River was all flooded, and those courtiers under me, one by one, who were righteous and Ling Ran on weekdays, were useless when they really did things, in this case, how could I rest on the couch with peace of mind. When the emperor thought of this, he was furious.
The flooding of the Yellow River is very serious, from the upstream to the downstream, wherever there are people living in it, there is no way to avoid it. Thousands of acres of fertile land were destroyed in three days. There was water so deep that it even flooded the house, and the situation was slightly better upstream than downstream, but the water was knee-high.
At this time, it was the time of the autumn harvest, and the grain was flooded and the winter was about to end, so it was still a question of where to transfer the food for the winter of these victims. Not to mention the flood, the people were killed and injured countless times, their food and houses were flooded, not only did they have nothing to eat, but they also had no place to live.
The autumn night is cold and cold, and there is no shelter from the wind and rain, and the probability of those people getting sick is also greatly increased, and the number of dead and injured is too large to deal with, and it is easy to cause a plague.
These are just some superficial problems, and when we arrange these victims in the future, the problems will only be bigger and more troublesome than they are now.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated the emperor felt in his heart. His courtiers led him to send a fortune, but when it came time to do things, they began to pass the buck to each other, and everyone knew that this was a hot potato, and no one was willing to take over.
Originally, he had already decided on a candidate in his heart, but seeing the attitude of his courtiers really made the emperor angry.
Seeing the emperor's face like this, Gonggong Hai knew that the emperor was still angry in the court yesterday. But as the emperor's personal father-in-law, the most important thing is to take care of the emperor's body.
Gonggong Hai glanced at the recital on the table and persuaded the emperor: "Your Majesty, relax, didn't Taiwei Chu ask for an order to deal with the flooding of the Yellow River yesterday?" I believe in his ability, and I will definitely be able to give the emperor a satisfactory answer. β
When the emperor heard Gonggong Hai say this, the anger in his heart eased a little. Yesterday in the court, although it was Taiwei Chu who personally asked for an order to deal with the floods of the Yellow River, the old fox was deep in thought, one thing on the surface, and one thing behind the scenes. Who knows what his idea is?
The emperor thought so, and his eyes were dark, "Yes, it's up to Captain Chu now." β
This exclamation, in a low tone, has no clear meaning. Seeing this, Gonggong Hai carefully put the white fungus lotus seed soup in his hand in front of the emperor. The emperor glanced at the pile of folds on the table again, and finally took the bowl over.
Seeing this, Gonggong Hai immediately smiled.
Outside the palace, in Gu Zhiheng's mansion.
He Nuanliang still stood aside gently, as in the past, grinding ink for Gu Zhiheng, Gu Zhiheng looked at the letters sent by his subordinates on the side, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, hahaha."
He Nuanliang stopped the movement in his hand and cast a puzzled look at Gu Zhiheng. Gu Zhiheng was in a good mood, and pulled He Nuanliang, who was standing aside, into his arms, "Nuanliang, this is a unique good opportunity?" β
He Nuanliang followed Gu Zhiheng's movements, leaned into his arms softly, raised his eyes and asked, "What a good opportunity?" The prince said it, and let the concubine listen to it. β
Gu Zhiheng sat up straight, put He Nuanliang, who was sitting in his arms, on the chair next to him, and then said very proudly: "Didn't Nuan Liang always want to take revenge on that Captain Chu?" And now, there is a good opportunity, if this thing can be done, even if he can't let Taiwei Chu be wiped out, then he will have to be ruthlessly removed from a layer of skin. β
When Gu Zhiheng said this, his eyes showed a fierce look. His mother was beaten down in the cold palace by his father. But with his help outside the palace, even if he can't be as prosperous and rich as before, he will definitely be able to live for a long time.
But for his own selfishness, Taiwei Shen caused his mother to die. How can Gu Zhiheng not take revenge for this revenge? It is not so much to satisfy He Nuanliang's heart, but to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Otherwise, how could a person who is based on the balance of care be able to compete with the elders of a country for the sake of He Nuanliang and a woman. He Nuanliang naturally knew it, and when she heard Gu Zhiheng say this, a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes.
However, when He Nuanliang spoke, it was still the gentle voice of the past, with a vague hint of surprise: "Really? The concubine is here, thank you to the prince, prince, tell the concubine what is going on. β
When He Nuanliang said these words, a pair of big eyes looked at Gu Zhiheng like that, and his eyes were full of trust and tenderness. It seems that Gu Zhiheng is her heaven and her only one. Such a gaze greatly satisfied Gu Zhiheng's vanity.
Therefore, Gu Zhiheng did not hesitate to tell He Nuanliang about the things that happened in the court a few days ago. He Nuanliang listened very carefully, and after listening, he had a rough idea of this matter in his mind.
But on the surface, she still pretended not to understand, like Gu Zhiheng asked: "Taiwei Chu alone asked for an order to control the flooding of the Yellow River, is this a good thing?" Why did the prince say that Taiwei Chu was about to be in trouble? β
Gu Zhiheng looked at He Nuanliang's innocent appearance, and liked her even more in his heart. There are men who need women who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
And some men like to be weak and rely on their women everywhere. Because of this, they can feel that sense of superiority when they are dealing with others. It's easy to feel that kind of satisfaction when you get along with each other on weekdays.
Obviously, Gu Zhiheng is such a man. Compared with He Suoyi, she actually likes He Nuanliang's type of woman more. It's just that he hadn't found it before.
Gu Zhiheng pinched He Nuanliang's little nose, and said very dotingly: "You, in the end, it is still a woman's opinion." Do you think the flooding of the Yellow River is so easy to manage? If it was really so easy to govern, how could there be no one in the court to take over this errand. β
He Nuanliang heard Gu Zhiheng say, and said in his heart: I naturally hope that I am not a woman's opinion, but if my ability is the same as yours, then can you still tolerate me?
He Nuanliang thought so, Lianbu moved lightly, went to the table next to him and poured a cup of tea, brought it over and handed it to Gu Zhiheng, and said coquettishly: "She is a woman who stays in the back house, how can her mental talent be compared with the prince, the prince is eloquent, how can he be compared with the concubine." β
With these words, Gu Zhiheng said, the whole person was physically and mentally comfortable. However, he was still cautious, and he didn't get fluttering because of He Nuanliang's words, and he didn't know why. However, he was still very proud in his heart, and waved his hand to hand the letter that had just been sent by the secret agent to He Nuanliang.
"Okay, okay, I know that your mouth is sweet, this is the letter sent by the secret agent just now, after you read it, you will understand why this king said that just now."
He Nuanliang pretended to be overjoyed and took the letter. Then he stood aside and looked at it seriously. The more you look down at the contents of the letter. The more frightened He Nuanliang became. The reason why Taiwei Chu suffered a great calamity, she had already guessed a little when Gu Zhiheng opened his mouth just now.
But when she saw the letter, she realized how naΓ―ve she was. The flooding of the Yellow River, if you are not careful, will ambush millions of corpses. At this time, the emperor was furious in the court. Taiwei Chu actually wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune from the war.
The letter said that after Chu Taiwei was in the Yellow River area, there was basically no matter of flooding, and many people were driven out of the disaster area by him and died on the way. Not only that, but he also secretly raised the price of food, hoping to make a windfall with it. Rao is He Nuanliang After seeing these news, he also had to praise Taiwei Chu's boldness.
He Nuanliang handed the letter in his hand to Gu Zhiheng and asked softly, "Lord Wang, since this is the case, then what are you going to do next?" β
Gu Zhiheng put away the letter and looked at the jade wrench on the table, this was a relic left to him by his mother, he put this wrench on the desk every day, just to remind himself that looking for Taiwei Chu for revenge was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could he let it go?
"You don't have to worry about these things, this king has his own plans." He Nuanliang saw that he really didn't want to say anything more, so he didn't ask too much.
On the morning of the second day, after the emperor sat down, Gonggong Hai shouted on the side: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." β
Gu Zhiheng took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Enlighten your father, my son has something to do." The emperor looked at Gu Zhiheng and said lightly: "Say." β
Hearing this, Gu Zhiheng leaned down and said: "Your Majesty, Erchen received news yesterday that Taiwei Chu has been going to the Yellow River area for many days, but the flood control has not been effective at all, and Erchen heard that Taiwei Chu is in the Yellow River area, and he is powerful. did not take the will of his father in his eyes at all, failed to control the water, and ignored the life and death of the people. β
After Gu Zhiheng said this, several ministers knelt down one after another in the DPRK and China to echo what he said. These ministers were all in collusion with Gu Zhiheng yesterday, and these people have more or less suffered losses at the hands of Captain Chu, and they stand up at this time just to impeach Captain Chu.
After Gu Zhiheng finished speaking, he handed the evidence he had prepared in advance to Gonggong Hai, and after Gonggong Hai took it, he took a look, and then handed the letter in his hand to the emperor in fright.
