Prince of Chaos

Chapter 35
In the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Wanli was enjoying the coolness between the two large ice mirrors as usual, and beside him was a charming and charming lady who was slightly powdered and daisy.

She held a cup of ice cream that she had just made this morning in front of Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli scooped out a piece of ice cream and put it in his mouth. Emperor Wanli said in amazement, "Why is it so delicious today? Concubine Gong, how did you make it?" .”

Concubine Gong said: "This is what Chang Luo came up with. He asked Wang An to find some dried fruit, hawthorn and jam in the imperial dining room, and then prepared it with Mongolian tribe tribute and sour milk. So it tastes like yogurt It's sweet and sour, and also has a fruity aroma."

Emperor Wanli took another bite and praised: "Chang Luo is a smart kid. He is worthy of being my seed."

Concubine Gong said: "What the emperor said is very true. This is all due to the emperor. Chang Luo now only has your wisdom in case."

Emperor Wanli ate fruit-flavored ice cream and smiled happily.

Chen Ju, who was waiting on the sidelines, saw that Emperor Wanli was so happy at the moment, and he said in a timely manner: "My lord, two days ago, the cabinet presented a document from the Chief Secretary of Henan Province. The slave looked at it and thought it was a little inappropriate. I want to let the emperor Grandpa Holy Judge."

Emperor Wanli said, "What booklet?"

Chen Ju said: "It was the Chief Secretary of Henan who said that the flood season of the Yellow River is approaching, and the water level in Kaifeng and other places will rise sharply, and there is a risk of flooding the embankment."

Emperor Wanli heard that it was about the Yellow River, he pondered for a while, and asked, "What did the cabinet say?"

Chen Ju said: "The cabinet means to send a river censor to Henan to check the water situation in person, and let the chief secretary of Henan pay attention to the dams."

Emperor Wanli said: "Is there anything wrong with the cabinet's intention?"

Chen Ju said: "The intention of the cabinet is good. But the problem of the Yellow River has been serious since ancient times. There have been three breaches from the first emperor to now, so the slaves are worried that the problem will become bigger this time, so they think it is better to send a river control expert The minister personally went to Henan to check, so that we can prevent problems before they happen."

Emperor Wanli said: "I remember that in the early years of Wanli, didn't Pan Jixun already manage it once? It is less than ten years now, so there shouldn't be any major problems, and reports from all over the country say that there is a lack of rain in the north. What about the Yellow River?" Will the water level skyrocket?"

Chen Ju understood what Emperor Wanli meant. He didn't want to use Pan Jixun, a stubborn old man.After all, it would cost a lot to control the river. Even if he wanted to, the cabinet and the Sixth Ministry would not agree.Unless it is really to the point where it must be cured, it is impossible.This is also the limitation of the ancient dynasties. No one is willing to bear the responsibility of spending huge sums of money on people's resources, because in the end, no matter what the result is, they will be attacked as abuse of people's power and abuse of power.

Chen Ju said: "This slave doesn't know, maybe it's a problem at the source of the Yellow River. What does the emperor mean?"

Emperor Wanli said: "According to the wishes of the cabinet, but the matter of the Yellow River is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. In addition to sending the river channel censor to check the water situation, he will also order the Chief Secretary of Henan Province to take precautions. Once there is a change in the Yellow River, immediately organize Civil service builds embankments."

Chen Ju whispered: "Yes."

After talking about this matter, Emperor Wanli also almost finished eating the ice cream brought by Concubine Gong. Emperor Wanli asked casually, "Yesterday I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is still asking me about "Dream of Red Mansions". What are you doing here?" How is it?"

Chen Ju said: "Recently, the servant is also waiting, but the servant has recently obtained a new song, which is the song of funeral."

Emperor Wanli snorted, he was not interested in music.I don't even know what Funeral Flower Yin is.

Emperor Wanli asked again: "Is "A Dream of Red Mansions" good?"

Chen Ju said: "This book is so emotional and true, I thought it was the most wonderful book in the world at that time."

Emperor Wanli became interested. In the past two months, he greeted the queen mother. The queen mother talked about "Dream of Red Mansions" most. When chatting with him, she would talk about Baoyuer and Daiyu from time to time. This made Emperor Wanli curious What about the book.

Emperor Wanli said: "Then you prepare a book for me to read, and I will see what kind of story Chang Luo heard. It can make the queen mother so fond of it. Now I am almost speechless when I go to the queen mother to chat. "

Chen Ju said: "Yes. This servant will go to the Supervisor of Rites and find it for the emperor."

Emperor Wanli said, "Go quickly."

Chen Ju stepped back quietly, and Emperor Wanli looked at Concubine Gong who was well-behaved and sensible. He never thought Concubine Gong was so beautiful.Especially Concubine Gong obeyed him everywhere and never disobeyed him at all. Even better, Concubine Gong's slight nervousness and fear in front of him made Emperor Wanli very interesting.This is completely different from the feeling Zheng Guifei gave him.

With Concubine Zheng, Emperor Wanli would feel that Concubine Zheng was someone who could speak with confidence, because Concubine Zheng was out of character and would not be as rigid as the Queen and other concubines, so Emperor Wanli liked Concubine Zheng.Concubine Gong has also changed now. Although she is still very obedient, she is obviously not as boring as other concubines.Just like this ice cream, it was delicious to the bone, and seeing Concubine Gong's thin and lovely appearance, Emperor Wanli couldn't help but love and pity her.

Especially now that Concubine Zheng is waiting to give birth, she has been staying in the Changchun Palace to raise her baby, and Emperor Wanli is afraid that Concubine Zheng will be tired, so these days she almost always summons Concubine Gong to bring ice cream to her bed.

Therefore, the news that Jingyang Palace was favored gradually spread throughout the Forbidden City, but only Changchun Palace did not know about it.The greatest credit for this is thanks to Sun Siam. Sun Siam now controls the entire Dongchang in one hand, and Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng can hardly intervene. Now the eunuchs and maids of Qianqing Palace and Changchun Palace are all pulled out by Sun Xian alone to chat Chatting, and even brought out the little eunuch who made the report last time to chat with him. When the eunuchs and maids saw the little eunuch who was already indistinguishable in human form, all of them turned pale with fright, for fear that they would become like this too.That's why the Forbidden City is peaceful and peaceful now.

After Chen Ju returned to the Prison of Rituals, he saw that Zhu Changluo was still studying in the Prison of Rituals, so he quietly went over and said to Zhu Changluo, "Your Highness, the emperor did not intend to refute the cabinet. Still brooding, unwilling to use him."

After hearing this, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's still powerless to change history."

Then, Zhu Changluo handed Chen Ju a stack of three chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions" that he had just written, which took him two days to write.

After Chen Ju took it, he was inexplicably pleasantly surprised, and he could hardly wait for it.

Zhu Changluo said: "Since the emperor still handles the Yellow River matter according to the cabinet's proposal. We can't just sit and wait, we have to find a way to remedy it."

Chen Ju said: "This old slave will follow His Highness's orders."

Zhu Changluo thought for a while and said: "You arrange someone to quickly send the situation of the Yellow River in Henan to Pan Butang to consult Pan Butang's intentions, and then ask Sun Xian to arrange Henan factory guards to secretly supervise Henan officials. Those who dereliction of duty and corruption caused the outbreak of the Yellow River flood will be severely punished."

Chen Ju suddenly looked up at Zhu Changluo who ordered, which made him very embarrassed.Because the factory guard is the special agency of the emperor, and it only obeys the emperor's orders, and no one can get involved, not even the prince and prince. Now Zhu Changluo directly asked to use the factory guard to supervise the officials, which shocked Chen Ju!
But Zhu Changluo looked at Chen Ju calmly, as if he wanted to usurp the emperor's authority!

Chen Ju hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look into Zhu Changluo's eyes. He knew that he had been completely pulled into a boat by Zhu Changluo. Looking back now, Chen Ju felt terrible!But he couldn't turn back, he could only follow Zhu Changluo's orders.
