The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 969
But Gu Chengyu is rigorous in his work, and He Jisheng hasn't found his fault so far.

With a cold snort, He Jisheng turned around and left the Wenhua Palace.

When Gu Chengyu entered the study, the prince had already spread out the map and put it on the desk.

Seeing Gu Chengyu coming in, without waiting for Gu Chengyu to salute, he said anxiously: "Master Gu, come quickly and see if this map is comprehensive."

This attitude is as if the two are very familiar and have known each other for many years, which is very natural.

Gu Chengyu didn't stick to the worldly etiquette, he took a step forward and looked at the map on the desk.After a closer look, I found that the map was marked in great detail.

Even the houses along the Tianya River have obvious signs. Of course, it is impossible to mark all the houses, but use a color instead.

"Your Highness, this map is really very detailed!" Gu Chengyu sighed, and then focused on the Tianya River.

Gu Chengyu looked at the map carefully. Seeing that Gu Chengyu was very concerned, the prince turned around and walked to the side to sit down without disturbing him.

The Tianya River has a large amount of water, and there are [-] main tributaries along the way, the larger tributaries are upstream.

There are no lakes on both sides of the river, and the area of ​​the lower reaches of the river is very small. There are very few rivers that flow into the Tianya River, so most of the tributaries converge in the upper reaches.

Downstream is not without, there can be eight or nine tributaries, large and small.And the downstream is narrow, if something happens to break the dam, it will basically only be downstream.

Gu Chengyu frowned in thought, it seemed that the downstream was extremely dangerous.Because the downstream river is flat, the water flow will become slow when it reaches the downstream, so there will be a lot of sediment deposition, and the downstream will inevitably be higher than the ground.

What's more, the Tianya River was diverted before, because the drainage measures were not done before, so many depressions were formed.

Gu Chengyu rubbed his chin, it seems that the geographical environment around Tianya River is very complicated.If he had taken precautions before, he wouldn't be as passive as he is now.

He shook his head, although he thought of some ways, but he didn't come in person, just looking at the map is not enough.Some of them are more speculative, too abstract.

Besides, the geographical environment will change frequently. Even if this map is drawn just now, the direction of the water flow may change because of a certain corner.

The prince observed Gu Chengyu's face from the side, seeing Gu Chengyu frowning for a while, shaking his head and sighing for a while.

This series of actions made his heart sink to the bottom, it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

"Your Highness, lunch." Pang Chu entered the study and asked when the meal would be served.

He doesn't care about any maps or floods, his task is to take good care of His Royal Highness.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had lost his appetite a few days ago, so Pang Chu was naturally frowning and anxious.

Finally, His Highness said today that he was hungry, so he naturally happily went to pass on the meal.

"Hush!" The prince gestured, pointed at Gu Chengyu, and waved at Pang Chu.

Pang Chu understood what His Highness meant and knew that it was not to be disturbed.Can't help but secretly sighed, and waited on the sidelines.

Pang Chu had nothing to do, so he focused his attention on Gu Chengyu who was walking around the map.

Her bare hands, as white as jade, slid across the map, and her fair and lustrous face was lowered.From this angle, you can't see the twinkling eyes of the other party, but you can see the tall and small bridge of the nose and the sharp chin of the other party.

The bright red lips were tightly pursed, showing a very solemn expression, but it made people see the round and beautiful lips more clearly.

Pang Chu looked at it and couldn't help being crazy.

He didn't come back to himself until he heard His Royal Highness's voice.Glancing at the two of them, he was relieved to find that they didn't pay attention to him.

He had heard before that Mr. Gu of the Hanlin Academy had a handsome appearance, a face like a crown jade, like Pan An reborn.

He had met Mr. Gu several times before, and he couldn't help but be impressed by Mr. Gu's demeanor, but he had never looked at each other so seriously.

After all, the other party is an official ordered by the imperial court and should not be offended.

And he works beside His Royal Highness on weekdays, how can he have time to stare at Mr. Gu?

Today is also a coincidence, he smashed his mouth, how can you believe the rumors!This is clearly someone more beautiful than Pan An!
Pang Chu didn't know what Pan An looked like, and he had never seen him before.He has only met Gu Chengyu, and he thinks Gu Chengyu is the most beautiful person in the world.

"Master Gu has already figured out a way to deal with it?" Seeing that Gu Chengyu had raised his head, the prince hurried forward to ask.

Gu Chengyu paused for a moment, and then replied: "There were many ways to prevent it before, but unfortunately they were all missed. Now it is a lot of trouble. Except for the method mentioned before I was dismissed, I haven't thought of it yet."

In fact, Gu Chengyu already had some clues, but he hadn't thought it through yet, and he didn't want to talk about uncertain things.

Secondly, it is useless to talk to the prince, you have to report to the emperor.

As for whether the prince will be unhappy, he can only say that there will be many such things in the future.If he had to tell the prince everything he wanted to ask, then he would be a proper princeling.

Besides, he didn't say he didn't know, he just didn't think of it for the time being.

The prince was a little disappointed when he heard the words. He took a closer look at Gu Chengyu's expression, but he didn't see anything.

"I hope Master Gu can report this matter to the emperor after he thinks about it! I am only a prince, and when things happen, I usually have more than enough heart and not enough to stand up for. This is a major event for the blessing of the world, and please let Master Gu put this matter aside." In my heart. I believe that Mr. Gu is also a good official for the country and the people, and I still have this vision."

The prince sighed, and the words he said were somewhat helpless and lonely.At the same time, he also praised Gu Chengyu, it can be seen that he is an old fritter with a long history in the officialdom.

Although the crown prince is the crown prince, I believe many ministers in the court understand his situation, and Gu Chengyu is no exception.

Gu Chengyu was silent for a while, and had to say that compared to other princes, the prince was more considerate of the people.

The other princes are only concerned with fighting for power and profit, how could they think of the suffering of the common people?Maybe the crown prince's ascension to the throne in the future will be regarded as a blessing for the country and the court, right?

Perhaps the emperor chose the prince because he saw the pure nature of the prince.Of course, the transaction also counts as part of it.

"Actually. If Your Highness is really worried, it is better to ask the emperor for orders and personally supervise the matter."

Gu Chengyu felt that the prince could still be given a chance, so he made such a suggestion.

And this is still Gu Chengyu's temptation, which is hypocritical and has another purpose.Still really worrying about the country and the people, as can be seen from here.

If the prince is afraid that this matter will eventually lead to incalculable consequences, he will not dare to take over this matter.That means that in the prince's heart, his achievements and reputation are the most important.

If the prince really takes over, Gu Chengyu will definitely assist the prince with all his strength.Not for others, only for the people.

The expression on the prince's face became very solemn, he frowned, his face pensive.
