Rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 449 Unlucky Prince Chen

Chapter 449 Unlucky Prince Chen

After drinking for three rounds, the two elders who were worried about the country and the people drank too much and lay down respectively. Xie Qishuang and others went home one after another, leaving only Ye Muxi and Nangong Lin sitting opposite each other.

"My lord, this rain will stop in three or two days. However, if it can't stop for two days, it will fall again..." Ye Muxi said according to the fragments in her memory, "It was still light rain in the early stage, and there will be a pause. After a while, Rainstorm day and night...will last a month..."

Nangong Linfeng frowned, "If it lasts for a month, the capital will be flooded. If the Yong'an Dam outside the capital bursts, millions of people in Ningzhou will be in danger."

"Your Majesty also knows about Yong'an Dam?" Ye Muxi was surprised, and she was about to turn the conversation around to this.

After all, you know that there will be heavy rain, and you can still talk about watching the sky at night, but you know that Yong'an Dam will burst, then it is really abnormal.

Nan Gonglin said lightly, "The capital has always had more droughts and less floods. Since the construction of Yong'an Dam, it has not experienced a big rise in 20 years. Officials from the Ministry of Industry do not pay much attention to Yong'an Dam."

No wonder the previous life burst.

"I will mention it to the emperor tomorrow morning." Nangong Lin said.

Ye Muxi hummed.

In the first rebirth, she is not the savior, but since she knows that the Yong'an Dam will burst, and that millions of people in Ningzhou City will die, how can she remain indifferent and do nothing.

Her heart of stone is only for enemies.

……

Chenwang Mansion.

"My lord, this rainstorm came suddenly, and the Heavenly Superintendent was negligent, please forgive me." Bo Dai Chongliang, the head of the Qintian Supervisor, knelt and said.

Huangfuchen waved his hand, "You should plead guilty to my father, I don't care about this. I summoned you to ask you, how is the weather today, and when will the rainstorm end?"

"If you go back to the prince, observe it with the Qin Tianjian. This rainstorm will end after two days." Dai Chongliang said immediately.

Huangfu Chen raised his eyebrows, that's okay, it seems that he is overthinking.

"However... about three or two days after the clearing, there will be another rainstorm..." Dai Chongliang continued.

Huangfuchen frowned, "Heavy rain is common after a long drought, but continuous heavy rain? Dai Chongliang, how long will the heavy rain last?"

"Using the observation of Qin Tianjian, I am afraid that there will be heavy rain in the next half month, and I dare not judge too far away..." Dai Chongliang said cautiously.

Huangfuchen snorted coldly, "The words of peace and stability were reported to my royal father. I want to know the farthest date you can estimate."

"Forgive me, my lord. This... I am afraid that there will be heavy rain within a month... But the sky changes rapidly in summer, so I can't be sure... There will be changes in half a month, and it may clear up, so Qin Tian The prison only dared to report the heavy rain for half a month to the emperor..." Dai Chongliang said tremblingly.

Huangfuchen frowned, "Go down."

"Yes. I will retire."

"My lord, what does it have to do with you that it's going to rain today? I think it scared Dai Chongliang." Hua Baoyu said softly.

Huangfuchen said sadly, "The capital has not encountered such a heavy rain for more than ten years."

"We seldom have heavy rain here, but the weather is unpredictable, and it is God's will to rain. Is the prince worried about the crops in the north?" Hua Baoyu asked.

Huang Fuchen didn't say much, Hua Baoyu was somewhat smart and reliable in handling things, but she didn't have that kind of overall situation view and foresight. If she was here, she must already know what he was worried about.

"Go find Hu Xintong and ask her father to come to my place in the middle of the night. Keep it secret, don't be caught by Prince Rui." Huangfuchen said.

"Yes." Hua Baoyu blessed himself.

"How about 'Secret Art of Beauty'?" Huangfu Chen asked.

Hua Baoyu said unhappily, "It was going well at first, but this rain has slowed down our progress... But don't worry, my lord, everything will be done within a month. The things in Yuyanfang, We all have them, we also have those that Yuyanfang doesn’t have.”

"Well, hurry up. One more day, the power of Yuyanfang will increase. Now even the Xiao family has participated, if it continues like this, it will become more and more difficult to deal with." Huangfuchen said.

Hua Baoyu blesses her body, "Your servant understands."

……

Late at night, Chenwang Mansion, study room.

"My minister Hu Dawei greets the prince." Hu Dawei saluted respectfully.Although he is a second-rank minister and one of the six ministers, he has no airs in front of King Chen.

Huangfuchen looked at him and said, "Yong'an Dam, you built it, right?"

"This... yes." Hu Dawei bowed and said hastily, "My lord, I handed over all the money for the construction of Yong'an Dam back then."

Huangfuchen squinted his eyes, "I heard that last year, because the Yong'an Dam was in disrepair for a long time, the imperial court allocated a sum of money to the Ministry of Household Affairs to allow you to rebuild the Yong'an Dam. Is there such a thing?"

"It's true, but... the money, I didn't take it privately! The accounts are all with the empress, it's clear!" Hu Dawei said hastily.

Huangfuchen's eyes were cold, "I ask you, how much money have you swallowed?"

"The old rule is [-]%. However, when King Jing'an was the prince, he felt that the money for rebuilding the dam was too wasteful, so... let the minister take away [-]%." Hu Dawei said cautiously.

Huangfu Chen slapped his palm on the desk, and the teacup on the table was knocked over and shattered.

"My lord, calm down!" Hu Dawei knelt down with a plop.

Huangfuchen gritted his teeth, "Hu Dawei, are you crazy about money? With [-]% taken away, how can you rebuild it!"

"This... King Jing'an's order, I can only obey..."

"He, a prince who doesn't care about world affairs, is ignorant, and you, a minister of the Ministry of Industry, are also ignorant? How many times have I told you that it's okay to be greedy, and be careful. You have to get money, but you have to do things well! Take away [-]%, Tell me, how do you rebuild it with [-]% of the money?" Huangfu Chen's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Hu Dawei said tremblingly, "Actually, it hasn't been rebuilt. It's just the original dam, which is covered with a layer of paste on the outside, and the inside...is ignored..."

"Hehe, that is to say, Yong'an Dam is now a paper tiger, which can be broken with a poke, right?" Huangfu Chen sneered.

Hu Dawei wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said, "No...no...it was built with good materials back then, and it was okay. It's just that it didn't take much effort when it was rebuilt last year...I think there should be nothing wrong... "

"If there's nothing wrong, the imperial court will give you money to rebuild it. Is it because you think it's too much money for fun?"

Hu Dawei said hastily, "The water went up last year... nothing happened, and nothing will happen this year."

"It rained for a month, dare you say it's all right?" Huangfuchen gave him a cold look.

Hu Dawei took a deep breath, "What? Didn't Qin Tianjian say that there was only half a month of heavy rain? One month of heavy rain? My lord, this... this, this..."

"Hu Dawei, think about it for yourself, if it rains for a month, the Yong'an Dam will burst!" Huangfuchen stared at him and asked word by word.

Hu Dawei almost passed out with a bang, hugged Huangfuchen's thigh and said, "My lord, help me! The Yong'an Dam can't break the embankment. There are millions of people in Ningzhou behind the Yong'an Dam. If the Yong'an Dam bursts, the emperor must cut off my head." !"

"Now that I know I'm afraid, I dared to swallow [-]% of it last year." Huangfuchen said coldly.
