In the reckless wilderness, two men riding two horses shook off their followers far away and marched into the wind.

The purple-clothed man on the left, the third prince, said: "Master Hou, this is the place where the Yellow River was flooded six years ago, I didn't expect this place to be so close to your territory, I have always wanted to come here to see it." ”

Dongfang Lingluo, the man in blue on the right, said: "Lord Wang, this place used to be fertile for thousands of miles, spread over more than a dozen towns and villages, and more than 100,000 people lived and worked in peace and contentment, making it a good place like a paradise. It's a pity that the once-in-a-century flood six years ago turned this place into a wild place, and there is really nothing to look at. ”

The third prince smiled: "Six years ago, I was a yellow-haired child, and I stayed in the mansion all day to learn literature and ability, where do I know that I can look at the world and observe the people's feelings." ”

Dongfang Lingluo laughed and said: "The prince is modest, no one in the world knows that the prince is smart and cares about the world!"

The third prince smiled and avoided talking about himself: "You said that there were more than 100,000 residents here, and now, where do these residents live?"

Dongfang Lingluo sighed: "The flood killed nearly half of the residents, and the rest of the people were uprooted, displaced, and begged for a living, and no one knows where they are now, and there is no fire smoke here." ”

The third prince frowned slightly: "I remember that when the flood occurred, the emperor sent the second prince to take full charge of disaster relief matters, and allocated a large amount of money and materials, and the second prince has also been working on this matter, I thought that this place has been restored to the prosperity of the past, so I specially asked you to come to inspect, but how did this place become like this?"

Dongfang Lingluo said very carefully: "The flood turned this place into a swamp, and it was impossible to rebuild their homes, and a large number of refugees were arranged to leave their homeland......

The third prince said: "At that time, the second royal brother went to the disaster area, and did not return to Beijing for several months, but continued to ask the imperial court for financial support. ”

Dongfang Lingluo said: "I was only in charge of disaster relief in one of the regions at that time, and I didn't know much about the entire disaster relief situation. ”

In fact, in that flood, the second prince didn't know how much disaster relief money he had in his pocket, and everyone knew it, but this kind of thing couldn't come out of his mouth, and he couldn't express his stance on it. The third prince suddenly proposed to come here to inspect, was it intentional or unintentional?

The third prince nodded: "I want to come, otherwise, I will be bullying the king." ”

He said it indifferently, as if he was just talking casually, but Dongfang Lingluo listened to it with a chill in his heart: Is the third prince implicitly expressing his attitude towards the second prince? Such a sensitive matter, of course he can't talk at will!

So, he stretched out his finger and changed the topic: "Third prince, in front of you is the flood control levee built during the disaster relief, do you want to go over and have a look?"

The third prince rode the horse: "This is the achievement of the second royal brother, of course you have to go and see and learn from him!"
