Rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 450

Chapter 450

Hu Dawei was extremely aggrieved, "My lord, [-]% of this is probably [-]% handed over to the empress, [-]% is for relationship, and the minister only gets [-]%..."

"Shut up! You'd better pray that the Yong'an Dam won't burst." Huangfuchen pondered for a moment, then said, "You will tell the Emperor tomorrow morning and take people to Ningzhou to reinforce the embankment. I don't care what method you use. It can be strengthened a little..."

Hu Dawei shuddered, "My lord, if the Yong'an Dam breaks, wouldn't I..."

"Now we can only gamble. Yong'an Dam has been safe and sound for so many years. You built it well back then. This time, I hope it can survive. In addition, you have strengthened the embankment, and there is still a chance. And Qin Tianjian also said , Within half a month, the celestial phenomena may change..." Huangfu Chen paused, and continued:

"In short, you should follow what I said. Otherwise, you were the one who built the Yong'an Dam back then, and you were the one who rebuilt it last year. You can't get rid of it."

……

Jinluan Hall, early morning.

It was pouring rain, but the civil and military officials still came to court regardless of the weather.

A few officials reported one or two casually, and they all wanted to go home early and lie down. Hu Dawei gritted his teeth and took a step forward and said:
"Your Majesty, it has been raining continuously for half a month. I am afraid that there will be something wrong with the Yong'an Dam. Please order to go to Ningzhou to strengthen the dam."

The emperor laughed and said, "The Yong'an Dam that was rebuilt last year, it only rained heavily for half a month, so why worry about it? If it rains for three months, what can happen to Yong'an Dam."

"Your Majesty, Yong'an Dam is of course fine, but the continuous heavy rain will cause the river to rise, and it will be safer to strengthen the embankment with some protection." Hu Dawei said.

The emperor nodded slightly, "Aiqing is prudent in her work, I am very pleased, yes."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to reinforce the Yong'an Dam. I request that the people of Ningzhou City be relocated and evacuated." Nan Gonglin stepped forward and said.

Huangfuchen squinted his eyes, "What does Shizi mean, is the Yong'an Dam going to burst?"

"Are you kidding? Last year, I only allocated 100 million taels of silver to rebuild it. I used the best materials. It can be called an iron wall. How could it break the embankment?" the emperor said unhappily.

Hu Dawei quickly said, "The emperor is right! Yong'an Dam will not burst!"

"Behind Yong'an Dam are millions of people in Ningzhou, Hu Dawei, one life of yours is not enough to pay off debts for so many people." Nangong Lin's eyes turned cold.

Hu Dawei suddenly cried and looked at the emperor, "Your majesty, the prince slandered the minister!"

"Father, if Yong'an Dam is really dangerous, why would Mr. Hu go there in person? Could it be that he wants to die? The river's water surge will indeed be a little dangerous, but it won't burst the embankment." Huangfuchen said indifferently.

Only then did Hu Dawei realize that this was the real reason why Huangfuchen wanted him to go to Yong'anba.

"Chen'er is right." The emperor nodded.

Prince Rui Huangfu Sheng took a step forward and said, "Brother Wang means that you are responsible for the life and death of the people of Ningzhou. If the embankment breaks, it is your responsibility."

Huangfu Chen's eyes turned cold.

"If Brother Wang can't guarantee it, I think the Crown Prince Jing'an is right. Who knows if Yong'an Dam has cut corners, and if it is washed away... Master Hu's life is really not worth it."

Before Huangfu Chen could speak, Hua Mingkun, the servant of the criminal department, said impatiently, "The matter of Yong'anba has nothing to do with Prince Chen, so why should Prince Chen bear it all?"

"Just rely on him to support Mr. Hu." Huangfu Sheng took it for granted.

Huangfuchen said lightly, "Master Hu is the Minister of the Humerus of the Father, I naturally believe and support him, just like the Father believes in him. If there is any fault, I will bear it. The people are the most important thing, don't embarrass Mr. Hu for your own selfishness. Prince Jing'an said to relocate, you can know how much money it takes to move so many people, and it will cause a heavy burden to the court. The people are also hard to leave their homeland, and no one is willing to leave. So Please think twice about the waste of people and money."

"Chen'er is right, relocating people is a waste of time and money, not to mention that there is no need for it." The emperor made a final decision, "Don't bring up this matter again, it's settled like this."

……

The emperor was stubborn, and in the end he did not relocate the people of Ningzhou, but asked Hu Dawei to reinforce the embankment.

Nangong Lin met again in private, but failed.

After three consecutive days of heavy rain, it finally cleared up.

Many people thought that the torrential rain had passed, but in fact, the flood had just begun.

Taking advantage of the clear weather, Ye Muxi and Nangong Lin left the city.Ningzhou is two hours away from the capital city, and the Grand Canal starts here, with developed transportation and prosperity.

A group of people walked on Yong'an Dam, because of the heavy rain, the river was muddy.

"From the outside, this Yong'an Dam is really strong." Jun Mochen tapped his finger on the dam and said.

Ye Muxi narrowed her phoenix eyes, "Embroidered pillow. I never thought that Hu Dawei would be so bold. He would rather risk his life than let the people move."

"It's life-threatening to strengthen the embankment. But letting the people move means that there is something wrong with Yong'an Dam and it's life-threatening." Nangong Lin said lightly.

The strong opposition from the Chenwang Party was expected.However, the emperor's occasional self-willedness is troublesome.

Ye Muxi frowned. The evacuation and resettlement of millions of people cannot be completed overnight.If there is no imperial decree, no one can get the people away.

"Do your best and obey the destiny."

They tried their best, but if they had no choice, they would naturally not seek death in Ningzhou.

"I think we can incite the emotions of the people, spread rumors that the Yong'an Dam is about to burst, and let the people evacuate on their own." Jun Mochen thought for a while and said.

Ye Muxi's face darkened, "What are rumors, this is the truth."

"Yes, yes, the truth." Jun Mochen changed his words quickly.

Nangong Lin hummed, "Arrange to do it."

……

Capital, Lingwuhou Mansion.

Ye Qingyao flipped through the scroll in her hand, Madam Mei glanced at it, and said, "Why are you studying the palace rules? You don't enter the palace. This thing is for restraining court women, and it's useless to you."

"Ma'am." Ye Qingyao saluted slightly, continued to read, and said, "I want to become a female official in Huangting, so I need to memorize these things."

Mrs. Mei smiled, "The card I gave you is enough to make you a top-rank lady. When you get married, you can become a female official of the Huangting Court, and you don't need to enter the palace."

After a top-rank lady gets married, she can't stay in Chaohuang Academy, but she can enter Huangting.Huangting is similar to the previous dynasty, and the top-rank lady is the threshold to enter Huangting.

The power of women in the world is concentrated in Huang Ting, which is one of the reasons why the major families are proud of marrying top-rank ladies.

"I don't want to get married." Ye Qingyao said.

Mrs. Mei frowned, "You are young and upright, why don't you want to get married? If you don't get married and enter the Phoenix Court, you will be an internal official. Just like a maid, once you enter the palace, you will not be able to remarry for life."

Ye Qingyao didn't speak any more.

Mrs. Mei is someone who has experienced it. There is no woman in this world who does not want to marry for no reason. Only those who see through love will walk such a lonely road.

"Ma'am, sister-in-law doesn't know my plan yet, and I'm afraid she will stop her. So I have something to ask... Can you cover me up, I've already cleared the way to enter Huangting, and I can enter the palace tomorrow." I'm just afraid that my sister-in-law won't let me go." Ye Qingyao bit her lip and said.

Mrs. Mei smiled gracefully, "Everyone has their own aspirations. If you insist on entering the palace, she can't stop you. I still have some friendship in Huangting. When you enter Huangting, you don't know the place well. Let me arrange it for you. Do you mind?" ?”

"Of course I don't mind. If Madam is willing to help me, Qingyao is lucky." Ye Qingyao said hastily.
