Chapter Ninety-Eight: Li Changfeng's Solution to the Flood

Emperor Qianwu looked around at everyone and said with a solemn expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday Shangshang Prefecture reported urgently, the disaster has intensified, and today we must come up with a charter!" ”

Hearing this, the faces of all the princes and ministers were a little solemn.

The Shangzhou flood has been pending for a long time, and the previously discussed countermeasures have not been able to effectively solve the problem.

If this delay continues, it will inevitably lead to very serious consequences, and if it is not done, it will even shake the national capital of the entire Daqian Dynasty.

This is a huge crisis.

At the same time, it is also a huge opportunity for the princes.

If anyone can solve this problem, then it will inevitably make Emperor Qianwu's dragon heart happy, and he will be appreciated by the ministers and supported by the people of the world.

In this way, the possibility of inheriting the great unification in the future will be greatly increased.

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Qianwu's voice fell, Li Ji, the sixth prince who had just returned to Beijing and was eager to perform, immediately stood up and said: "Father, the son has carefully expounded the strategy of controlling the flood in Shangzhou yesterday, although it is not perfect, but it is a good way, the son of the emperor please go to Shangzhou in person to deal with the flood and relieve his father's worries!" ”

How could the eldest prince and the second prince see Li Ji taking such a great achievement, and immediately spoke out against it.

"Erchen thinks it can't be!" The second prince, Li Shouzheng, said, "Dispatching manpower to go all out to build the embankment will inevitably lead to the death of a large number of people, which will hurt my Daqian country, you must know that Shangzhou is the granary of my Daqian in the land of fish and rice!" ”

The exit of the second prince raised Li Ji's strategy to the level of danger of hurting the country, which made Li Ji's face suddenly become quite ugly.

Before he could refute it, the eldest prince Li Chengye stood up, arched his hand, and said solemnly: "Father, the son thinks that what the second emperor brother said is not unreasonable, and the other thing is to increase the tax burden, so we must be cautious." In the previous dynasty, because of the high tax burden, the people of the world were miserable and rose up, and finally went to extinction, and we must learn from history! ”

The eldest prince was even more ruthless, and directly made Li Ji's strategy too high to the extent of the country's destruction, which made everyone's faces change.

Even Emperor Qianwu also changed his face slightly.

He had to admit that there was some truth in what Li Chengye said.

This is also the reason why he, who has always been decisive, has never made up his mind about the disaster in Shangzhou.

There really isn't a perfect solution.

Li Ji was not convinced, raised his chin and glanced at Li Chengye and Li Shou, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Since the two imperial brothers think that the imperial brother and my strategy is not good, I think you have a better way?" It's better to speak up and let my father and the ministers hear it! ”

Li Chengye and Li Shou just glanced at Li Ji indifferently, but they didn't speak.

If they had a way, they wouldn't have waited for the exiled prince to return to Beijing.

The other princes didn't have any good solutions, and they all kept silent.

Seeing that no one spoke anymore among the princes, Prime Minister Feng Quji, as the head of the ministers, coughed lightly and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the princes say is very reasonable, and the heart of worrying about the country and the people is moving!" ”

Speaking of this, Feng Qu paused for a moment, his tone raised a lot, and he said, "Your Majesty, how can there be the best of both worlds in the world?" With the construction of Weichen, the construction of embankments and the relief of the victims according to the previous strategy are carried out at the same time, even if there is a problem in Shangzhou, it can also ensure that other places in our country are worry-free! ”

Hearing his words, Li Changfeng raised his eyelids slightly, and secretly said in his heart Old fox, this is the rhythm that no one can offend with the mud.

No wonder he can be prime minister, he has two brushes.

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If such a strategy satisfies him, why waste time and energy on repeated discussions?

There were so many ministers and princes in the Great Qian, and they couldn't come up with a perfect solution, which made him quite disappointed.

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but set his eyes on Li Changfeng, but when he saw Li Changfeng leaning against the pillar with his eyes lowered, looking like he didn't care about himself, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

Stinky boy!

Since he is not willing to take the initiative to stand up, then I will let him admonish!

Thinking of this, Emperor Qianwu said expressionlessly: "Changfeng, what can you do about this?" ”

Swish!

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes to Li Changfeng, and they were a little surprised that Emperor Qianwu didn't ask the Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs, why did he ask the irascible Nine Emperor Princes.

Li Changfeng was helpless in his heart, raised his eyelids, and said with a smile: "Back to my father, my sons don't understand anything, and there is no way." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Ji seized the opportunity to mock: "Hmph, what can you understand if you have served in a wild frontier place like Baishi City for ten years?" It's useless! ”

Li Changfeng glanced at him coldly and did not refute.

It doesn't matter, it's best to be considered to not understand anything, and you can be a little transparent and continue to work with peace of mind.

He didn't want to be the center of attention, and in this day and age, he could easily die quickly.

As for the six princes, I will settle accounts with him later.

Li Jianye shook his head and looked at Li Ji with a foolish expression.

Sixth Emperor Brother, Sixth Emperor Brother, you don't know what White Rock City has become today, it's a place that even my father and emperor are amazed by!

Emperor Qianwu felt helpless when he saw that Li Changfeng was so ridiculed by Li Ji and did not come up with countermeasures to prove himself.

It seems that if he doesn't show some benefits, this kid won't speak.

Emperor Qianwu coughed lightly and said, "Changfeng, if you can solve the matter of the flood in Shangzhou, I can promise you a condition!" ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Isn't it right for the courtiers to share the worries of His Majesty?

Even if it is a reward, it is only after the matter is completed, how can His Majesty take the initiative to propose it himself?

That's weird too!

Emperor Qianwu has said this, and Li Changfeng knows that it is not possible to go on any longer.

He sighed lightly and said: "In this case, the sons will try it, I wonder if my father can take a look at the disaster map in Shangzhou?" ”

Emperor Qianwu was overjoyed and said to Gao Dali: "Present the latest disaster map of Shangzhou." ”

Gao Dali nodded, and hurriedly called the two little eunuchs to open the huge Shangzhou disaster map.

Li Changfeng walked towards Yutu, and Li Ji couldn't help but mock when he saw the opportunity: "Yutu is so complicated, you have only stayed in Baishi City and other projectile places, can you understand it?" Do you want me to teach you, brother? ”

Both Emperor Qianwu and the ministers couldn't help frowning.

This is the court, the place where civil and military officials gather, and the Son of Heaven is above, so repeatedly ridiculed will only make everyone feel that his temperament is not calm enough.

Li Ji came back to his senses, and his face changed slightly, he would never get angry easily on weekdays, especially in front of his father, but he couldn't help it in the face of Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng paused, looked at Li Ji coldly and said, "Are you annoyed?" I can't understand your? It's okay, don't scream! ”

was humiliated in public like this, Li Ji was furious in his heart, and said angrily: "The exit is foul language, it's really ......"

But as soon as he was halfway through his words, he was impatiently reprimanded by Emperor Qianwu: "Li Ji, you shut up for me!" ”

Li Ji was startled, and when he saw Emperor Qianwu's eyes were cold, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shrunk his neck, knowing that he had made a mistake, but he also wondered why his father and emperor defended Li Changfeng so much.

The other princes and courtiers were also very surprised, and they didn't understand why Emperor Qianwu suddenly treated Li Changfeng so well.

Li Changfeng came to the front of the map and looked at it carefully.

Emperor Qianwu, Gao Dali, Li Jianye, and all the princes and ministers all looked at Li Changfeng.

Everyone was very curious about what good way Li Changfeng could come up with.

Especially the eldest prince Li Chengye, the second prince Li Shou, and the sixth prince Li Ji are staring at Li Changfeng tightly.

They all felt that their father's performance today was a little extraordinary, and Li Changfeng was safe and sound at eighty yesterday's court staff, no matter how they looked at it, there was a sense of weirdness.

After a while, Li Changfeng hugged his fist at Emperor Qianwu: "Father, the son has come up with a way." ”

Emperor Qianwu was surprised and delighted: "What is the way, you can tell me quickly." ”

The princes and ministers were shocked, how long did they look at the disaster map, and they actually came up with a way? The future is too unrealistic.

It's just that what surprised them even more was the attitude of Emperor Qianwu, who seemed to think that what the Nine Emperor Princes said was good.

Li Changfeng pointed to one of the maps and said, "There is a vast valley here, not far from the Shang River, or even only a single mile away. Only by breaking through the mountain can the accumulated flood water be diverted here, then the flood in Shangzhou can be easily solved. ”

This is actually the same reservoir he had in mind yesterday.

To be honest, even he didn't expect that there was such a vast valley next to the Shang River, at least dozens of miles wide, which was completely able to take over all the floods and form a natural reservoir.

As soon as these words came out, all the princes and ministers looked at Li Changfeng with incredulous expressions.

Li Ji was the first to react, snorted coldly, every word was full of mockery, and said coldly: "It's just whimsical!" The valley you are talking about is the Valley of Hundred Evils, separated from the Shang River by a mountain range, and there is a thick mountain wall at the weakest point, more than 100 zhang high, how to discharge the flood? Unless it is the ethereal immortal who comes in person, how can manpower shake the mountains? ”

The eldest prince Li Chengye and the second prince Li Shou couldn't help but shake their heads.

They thought that Li Changfeng would have some profound insights, but they didn't expect it to be such a whimsical method.

However, considering that Emperor Qianwu's attitude towards Li Changfeng was a bit weird, they didn't jump out to mock.

Li Ji spoke, and the ministers behind him who supported him spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, the words of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes are really ridiculous!"

"How can such a serious place in the court be such a child's play?"

"It's a joke, could it be that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes can shake the mountains with the power of one person?"

Everyone didn't believe what Li Changfeng said.

However, Emperor Qianwu's eyes suddenly burst into an astonishing look, and he secretly said why he didn't think of this method?
