Daqi Beijing

When Shoufu Li came back from the palace, his expression was a bit solemn.

Mrs. Li quickly took off his cloak and handed it to him with a warm veil.

Master Li wiped his hands and face: "I see that Your Majesty's complexion is very bad, I'm afraid that Your Majesty is in bad health."

Mrs. Li whispered: "Master, it's really not possible, so we're ready."

Shoufu Li nodded: "The queen of Dajing is a powerful figure. She actually sent the food from Jiangnan to sell. This move is really a win-win situation. That woman is really not simple."

Mrs. Li lowered her head: "The woman is too powerful. I am afraid that this world cannot tolerate it. If you don't say anything, Dajing, Emperor Jianyuan, is a powerful lord. How can a person like him tolerate an equally ambitious queen? He had to rely on the queen to plan before and could tolerate everything. Let's wait. When Emperor Jianyuan won the world, the first unlucky person would be the Queen Liu."

"Oh." Shoufu Li sighed: "What a pity."

Mrs. Li asked Shoufu Li: "How is the Imperial Concubine?"

Shoufu Li sneered: "She? I see that the world is sent to her because of her demise. Now His Majesty is increasingly unable to leave her. In a while, I am afraid that the government will be handed over to her."

"The Great Qi is in danger." Shoufu Li said the last sentence, and he waved his hand and didn't want to say anything more.

Mrs. Li asked him to sit down and asked the girls to quickly arrange their meals.

After dinner, Shoufu Li went to the study.

After a moment, his servant sent a letter.

Shoufu Li was shocked after seeing it.

"Come."

He shouted out.

Soon a few attendants came in.

What did Shoufu Li want to say, but when he thinks about the current situation in Daqi, he feels very powerless.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's okay, go out."

When the attendant went out, Shoufu Li stood up and looked at the bright moon outside the window and was ecstatic.

After a long time, Shoufu Li bent down dejectedly, tears flashed in his eyes: "I am afraid that the 100-year foundation of Daqi will be destroyed in no time. It's really God is going to destroy Daqi."

Dajing, Suzhou

Xiao Yuan received a secret letter from a spy sent to Daqi. He took it apart, roasted it on the fire, and showed his handwriting.

After watching, Xiao Yuan slapped the letter on the table: "Come."

Xiao Dezi brought a few people in.

"Go and call Prince Duan, Prince Yi, Prince Xin and others, as well as Lin Master Dong, General Yuan, and several princesses."

Xiao Dezi agreed and walked out.

Xiao Yuan said again: "Let others spread it, you go to Fengqi Palace to invite the queen over."

An Ning first arrived at Qinzheng Hall. When she came here, she brought some fruits, snacks and candied fruits.

After she came, Xiao Rong and Zhaoyang came.

Behind them were Prince Duan and Prince Yi, and finally Lin and Dong Da and others.

Waiting for everyone to come, Xiao Yuanrang added a chair in the hall and asked everyone to sit down.

He let these people circulate the letters sent from Daqi.

An Ning looked at it first, and after seeing it, there was a bit of sadness on her face.

Then everyone, Lin, and then Xiao Rong and others.

After all the people who were waiting to see the letter, Xiao Yuan asked, "What do you think?"

These people look at me, and I look at you, and they all stop talking.

Later, Prince Yi said: "What does the emperor mean? It's just the affairs of the Governor of the Daqi River. What does it have to do with us?"

Prince Duan also looked at Xiao Yuan: "Brother, what's going on with this letter? I can't understand it."

Xiao Yuan looked at Yuan Wei again, and Yuan Wei thought about it for a long time but was a little confused.

Xiao Yuan pointed at Xiao Ying: "Ying'er, say."

Xiao Ying stood up and saluted: "The letter said that the Daqi Party was in great conflict. Now Qingliu and Concubine Li's lineage are constantly quarrel in the court. Because of many things, these people from Concubine Li's lineage are now suppressed by Concubine Li. The original governor of the river was Rwan of Concubine Li. Rwan is capable, but he is a little corrupt and sleek. Qingliu's people couldn't stand him and wanted Di Song to replace him. Moreover, Emperor Jingqing also had some opinions about Rwan. He felt that investing so much money every year was a waste to control the river. He felt that most of the money here was greedy for Rwan, and wanted Di Song, who was famous for his integrity, to be the governor of the river."

Xiao Yuan lowered his face: "I have already said it in the letter. You don't need to say it again. I'll ask you what you think."

Xiao Ying said: "My son, I think this is a good thing for Daqi."

"Where are you?"

Xiao Yuan looked at the people sitting around: "Hui'er, Yin'er, what do you think?"

Xiao Hui frowned and thought, Xiao Yin was also confused: "Father, what do you mean? I don't think it's a big deal."

Xiao Yin thought about it again: "My son thinks there is something wrong here, but Mr. Me is stupid and can't think of it for a moment."

Xiao Yuan was a little disappointed.

He pointed to Lin Everyone: "Where is Bachelor Lin?"

Lin Lianshuang looked at An Ning: "I saw that the Empress was always frowning. I think I had any thoughts. My opinion should be roughly the same as the Empress. I think this Daqi is destroying the Great Wall."

"What?"

Xiao Ying was shocked: "Why did Bachelor Lin say that?"

Lin Lianshuang bowed to Xiao Ying: "Your Highness, although Rwan is a little greedy and sleek, he is still from Concubine Li, but he is a rare official who does practical things. He is not very greedy. He is sent to the capital to manage some officials in the court so that he can continue to manage rivers. Everything he does is just for rivers. He has served as the governor of the river for many years and devoted all his efforts to control rivers. He is really an official who is very capable and good at managing rivers. If Da Qi can keep him in control rivers, he will also give him enough money to manage rivers. In his lifetime, he may be able to really manage the Yellow River better. However, he will change the generals in the last half of the time he manages the rivers. This is not a blessing for Da Qi."

An Ning nodded: "Mr. Lin is right, but Mr. Lin ignored a little."

As soon as An Ning spoke, everyone calmed down and everyone listened quietly to An Ning talking about her thoughts.

"Mr. Lin did not consider Di Song, who is honest and has a high reputation among the people. However, Di Song is also rigid. He likes ancient rituals very much and likes to follow the ancient sages in everything. Also, he has a grudge against Rwan, and he can't stand Rwan's behavior and act in a manner, and he doesn't like Rwan's way of controlling the river. If Di Song is the governor of the river, he might be able to dig the river built by Rwan."

When An Ning said this, Xiao Yin was frightened when she heard it, and she thought of something.

Xiao Yin suddenly stood up: "Father, mother, I sent someone to Jiangbei to sell books and newspapers, and at the same time I also inquired about some things about Daqi. I remembered something. Di Song once told people that Dayu used a dilution to control floods, which was to not block the rivers, drain the floods, and let the floods flow into the rivers, which was to control the floods. He also said that the method used by Rwann was wrong and wasted the white money in the court."

An Ning nodded: "It's true that this is true."

Xiao Ying thought about it and suddenly understood.

"In other words, if Di Song changed to Rwan, he would strip all the rivers built by Rwan or relax the rivers to make the river flow more freely."

Everyone Lin rubbed their foreheads: "In this case, I'm afraid the country of Daqi will be lost. The most terrifying thing is that they may suffer from the disaster next year."

Prince Yi still doesn't understand.

An Ning explained to him in a low voice.

"Rwan manages the Yellow River. The water of the Yellow River has a lot of mud and sand, and the sediment of mud and sand makes the river bed higher and higher. The method of Rwan controls the river is to strengthen the river channel, narrow the river channel, and make the river water flow turbulently. In this way, the river sand will be washed bit by bit, and the river water will carry mud and sand into the sea. Over the years, the mud and sand will no longer be deposited. In addition, green plants are planted in the upper reaches, and over time, the flood will be much less."

Prince Yi nodded and expressed his understanding: "In other words, if Di Song changes, he relaxes the river channels or removes some sections of the rivers, and the river water will flow slowly, and more and more silt and sand deposits. If it deposits layer by layer, the Yellow River...the Yellow River will become an on-ground river."

The more he said, he became more and more frightened: "Is this really going to happen? This is Di Song, this is harming people, and he destroyed the achievements of his predecessors in governing the river."

Xiao Yuan then said: "Yes."

He called Xiao Ying and said earnestly: "Ying'er, I teach you today that those who are lords should be good at employed people, and they should know people well and responsibilities. They should think carefully about whoever puts them in any position. Is this Di Song a good official? Of course, it is a mistake for him to be the governor of the river. If I asked me to hire people, Di Song would be the left-level censor of the Censorate, let him supervise all officials, and let him report to the news. He is honest by nature and does not fear power, so he will naturally do a good job."

Xiao Ying listened very seriously.

Xiao Yuan continued: "Also, whether an official is qualified does not only look at whether he is a clean official. A clean official has only a reputation for being honest, but has not done anything practical, has not allowed the people to get any benefits, has not governed the land and soil, and has allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, he is unqualified."

Xiao Ying nodded: "My son respects the teachings of his father."

Xiao Yuan sighed: "What I am worried about is that if Di Song changes to Rwan, I am afraid that the Yellow River will flood next year and that many people on both sides will suffer."

Everyone thought of the tragic scene of the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and then the people on both sides of the Yellow River became heavier for a moment.
