The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 223 Female Zhuge

Situ Yan said calmly, "Didn't Dayu control the floods by dredging and blocking the canals?"

Qin Wange couldn't help raising his brows. He must have been confident that he could still involve Dayu in controlling the water.

Situ Yan continued directly: "Before I looked at the flow direction of the Huaihe River and the terrain of Yongzhou, I found that Yongzhou City is located in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River." He looked at He Qingwen and asked, "Is the south bank on both sides of the Huaihe River often affected? Troubled by floods, and the higher north bank has been suffering from drought for years, and the farmland cannot be cultivated?"

"Exactly." He Qingwen said.

The corner of Situ Yan's mouth raised slightly, and he said: "You said that if the Huaihe River is diverted to the north bank, even if the Huaihe River is flooded, the water will be diverted to the north bank, and the problem on the north bank will be solved. The problem of drought, secondly, the water in the Huai River will not spread and harm the people.”

As soon as Situ Yan finished speaking, He Qingwen's eyes lit up immediately: "This method is great. If it can really divert water to irrigate the north bank and solve the flood problem on the south bank, it will benefit many people! If this ditch is created , Brother Lanyue is our great benefactor in Yongzhou!"

Tang Zhongze on the side also stroked his beard, looked at Situ Yan with satisfaction, and secretly admired in his heart: He really deserves to be my student.

Qin Wange's eyes looking at Situ Yan were a little more unclear.

A person who is clearly the crown of the world, why was he trapped by love back then and handed over the throne to Situ Rui.If, if he was the one who ascended the throne back then, would the situation in Xiling be different now?
Qin Wange lowered his eyes to conceal his thoughts.

Situ Yan is truly a genius.But the more outstanding he is, the more she feels ashamed of him.

He is so outstanding, why would he fall in love with her who is so heartless and even wants to put him to death?

Qin Wange, what can you do?
Recently, Situ Yan, He Qingwen, and the officials sent by the Ministry of Industry have been discussing the matter of opening ditches, day and night, without sleep.

There are many things in the capital that Situ Yan needs to go back to take charge of. He can't delay here for too long, so he discusses with He Qingwen to draw down the specific design drawings.

When they were discussing the matter of digging ditches for Yongzhou, the imperial court's order to deal with relevant officials such as Lin Yong also came down.

Situ Rui was furious after receiving the memorial from Yongzhou.Corruption, perverting the law, and framing Zhongliang, these crimes don't matter to Situ Rui, the most important thing is that Lin Yong and the others colluded with foreigners, intending to rebel, threatening his country's stability, how could Situ Rui tolerate people and things.

Officials related to Lin Yongdu were directly punished by the nine clans, and they were dealt with mercilessly.

However, Xiang Huai'an was wronged and was rehabilitated, and the official was reinstated.

This time, He Qingwen made a lot of contributions to this matter. After Lin Yong dealt with it, He Qingwen took over the position of governor of Yongzhou.

However, considering that He Qingwen was Tang Zhongze's disciple after all, Situ Rui felt a little bit jealous.At the same time that Lin Yongsheng was ordered to be governor of Yongzhou, the imperial decree to dispatch an official from the capital to serve as governor of Yongzhou was issued at the same time. He believed that the governor of Yongzhou was still Situ Rui's confidant, obviously to check and balance He Qingwen.

When he saw this decree, Situ Yan sneered and said, "Situ Rui's suspicions are really getting heavier and heavier. After this decree comes down, I don't know how many people will be chilled."

He Qingwen was promoted to governor of Yongzhou, and then he made such a decree, which clearly did not believe He Qingwen.

Tang Zhongze waved his hand, obviously he was used to it, but Song Zifeng, Liu Chenyue and He Qingwen all looked at Situ Yan involuntarily.

He paused for a moment before realizing that he had called Situ Rui by his first name in front of so many people. This perception had no effect on him. He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I call the current emperor by his first name." Already, do you adults think it’s inappropriate?”

Song Zifeng and Liu Chenyue looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.

In their hearts, they had already acquiesced that Situ Yan was their new master.

And when He Qingwen saw them like this, he became more and more curious about Situ Yan's true identity as Mr. Lanyue.

At this time, the moonlight was just right, and Situ Yan and Qin Wange went to the city tower of Yongzhou to drink with each other with wine jugs.

The starry sky in summer is shining brightly, and the wind blows away the heat of the day and brings coolness.

After Situ Yan scolded Situ Rui in public during the day, Qin Wange felt that he had completely ignored Situ Rui, and did not regard Tang Zhongze, Song Zifeng, Liu Chenyue, and He Qingwen as outsiders.

"Situ Rui doesn't believe He Qingwen, and all kinds of actions have chilled his heart. Isn't this just right? If the governor of Yongzhou is biased towards you, your lord, you will not only have the support of Xuzhou Song Zifeng, but also get the support of Yongzhou, Yongzhou. Richness, once the flood is resolved, it will be a land of fish and rice. Xuzhou's geographical location is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we really confront Situ Rui head-on one day, we will have a favorable guarantee in the rear." Qin Wange said lightly.

"There is Zifeng in Xuzhou, and he has formed an alliance with this king. On the side of Yongzhou..." Situ Yan paused, "There is Xiang Huai'an in Sishui City. He is on good terms with Song Zifeng, especially after the bandit suppression With the help of Song Zifeng in the middle, there should be no problem with Xiang Huaian's support. After all, He Qingwen is a scholar, and he doesn't know the identity of the king. If he is to fall to me, it may be difficult."

"Xiang Huaian has Song Zifeng on his side, but isn't He Qingwen's left side here?" Qin Wange smiled, but he didn't take it seriously, and said, "When I came out just now, I saw the left side called He Qingwen. I don’t know what to discuss in the study.”

Situ Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then laughed: "Susu, you are really a female Zhuge."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment." Qin Wange deserved it.

At this time, in the study of the prefect's mansion.

Tang Zhongze specially called He Qingwen, and he closed the door to talk. He Qingwen was a smart man, and seeing Tang Zhongze's slightly dignified expression, he knew that there must be something important for his teacher to call him here.

"These days you have discussed with Lanyue about water control in Yongzhou. The two of you have been in contact for so long. How do you think Lanyue is?" Tang Zhongze pondered for a moment, then suddenly said.

He Qingwen's eyes flashed a bit of thought, and he said: "Mr. Lanyue has a wide range of knowledge, is just, and has unique views on issues. The students have learned a lot from Mr. Lanyue. This person is indeed a good teacher and helpful friend. .”

Tang Zhongze nodded in satisfaction after hearing what he said, and said, "Qingwen, with your intelligence, you should have realized that Lanyue's identity is not simple."

He Qingwen replied very cleverly: "The teacher said he was Mr. Lanyue, so the students just took him as Mr. Lanyue. If the teacher doesn't tell the truth, there is a reason for the teacher not to tell the truth, so the students will not ask."

Tang Zhongze couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "You don't have to answer so cautiously in front of me. This old man is not someone who is trying to catch fame. You are a smart person who knows what to ask and what not to ask. I know you know Proper, so I will tell you Lanyue's true identity before I leave."

Although He Qingwen didn't ask Situ Yan's real identity, he was still very curious about Situ Yan's identity in his heart. Seeing that his teacher was willing to tell him, He Qingwen looked at Tang Zhongze curiously.

"He is Situ Yan, king of Lingzhou, and his name is Lanyue." Tang Zhongze said.

He Qingwen couldn't help being a little surprised after hearing Tang Zhongze's words.

Although he had already guessed that Mr. Lanyue's identity was unusual, he never expected that he would be the king of Lingzhou!
Wasn't the King of Lingzhou rumored that he was assassinated when he left Beijing and he was recuperating in the palace?He purposely concealed his identity, just to go to Yongzhou to control the water with his mentor?

Countless guesses flashed through He Qingwen's mind.But did not ask the exit,

"Who do you think is more generous than the king of Lingzhou and the emperor?" Tang Zhongze asked suddenly.

This question allowed He Qingwen to understand their main purpose.

"The master knows that if the student was in the middle of the year, if he stayed in the capital, he would definitely be valued by the emperor. It's just that the situation in Beijing and China is chaotic, and the officials form cliques for personal gain. The students pretend to be noble and don't want to join them in coming to Yongzhou. This is the first reason; Even when talking with the emperor in the capital, and with the incidents of the Qin family in the past few years, the students realized that the emperor is not a broad-minded and wise monarch, so in order to protect themselves, the students asked to leave the capital."

He Qingwen thought for a while, and then said: "It is not difficult to find out from the conversations with the king of Lingzhou these days that the king of Lingzhou has a heart and knowledge that is higher than that of the emperor. If anyone is more talented as an emperor, then it should be the king of Lingzhou. "

He Qingwen said firmly, and Tang Zhongze smiled after hearing this, and said: "Since this is the case, I will tell you his identity, just so that if one day...Qingwen, you are always smart, you will know what to do, right?" .”

"Not to mention that the mentor is on the side of the King of Lingzhou, the students will know just by seeing the insight and heart of the King of Lingzhou. If there is such a day, the students will know where they stand." He Qingwen Said.

The evening breeze blew slowly, taking away the heat of the day and bringing the coolness of the night. Standing on the tower and looking at this ancient city, the lights are brightly lit at night, and it is like the prosperity of the world.

"Tang Zhongze went to persuade He Qingwen, do you think He Qingwen will immediately agree?" Situ Yan asked without looking, leaning against the city wall.

"Yes." Qin Wange said firmly, "These days Tang Zhongze asked the prince and He Qingwen to be responsible for digging the ditches together. He already knows the prince better. He is a smart person and knows that the prince is more suitable to be emperor than Situ Rui."

"I didn't expect the eldest princess to have such a deep evaluation of this king. This king really deserves it." Situ Yan took a sip of wine from the flagon in his hand and said, the strong wine entered his throat, which was extremely refreshing.
