Chapter 1069 The Princess Wants to Kill 15
Chapter 1069 The Princess Wants to Kill 15
Emperor Qianyuan pondered for a moment and had some vague guesses in his mind.
It's just not confirmed.
By the end of the next month, Shu Jiao had almost completed the disaster relief work in Xianzhou and was ready to return to Beijing to report.
When Emperor Qianyuan received the news, he felt less upset after reading those boring and uninteresting letters of greeting.
And here.
Xianzhou has basically recovered, and Shu Jiao only has some finishing work left.
Half a month of clear skies calmed the turbulent rivers.
The water flowed smoothly, without any trace of the wildness and ferocity that had devoured people and animals a few days ago. Instead, it seemed clear and gentle.
The people planted crops on the land again and took good care of them.
They swallowed the pain of separation and looked up at the sky happily, hoping for a good harvest in the future so that they could have a happy new year with full stomachs.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Princess Xining."
From a distance, I met Lord Jiang, who was sent by Emperor Qianyuan to develop water conservancy projects.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Lord Jiang, you must have worked hard all the way here. I've heard that Lord Jiang is good at water conservancy projects, but I never thought that my father would send you out."
Shu Jiao's voice suddenly softened.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Lord Jiang was full of love.
This is a truly capable minister!
When it comes to dredging rivers, rebuilding dams, and digging trenches and canals, Lord Jiang's abilities rank among the top three in the court.
The key is youth!
He is only thirty-six!
When I inherit the throne in the future, won’t they be my own people?
Mr. Jiang:...
He was a little flustered by Shu Jiao's enthusiastic attitude and eyes that seemed to want to swallow him up.
But he still said politely, "Princess, you are too kind."
"Master Jiang, there is no need to be modest."
Shu Jiao smiled and said, "I have long admired Lord Jiang!"
Capable ministers who can develop water conservancy are indispensable!
Which dynasty has not suffered from large-scale elbow strikes from rivers?
The emperor who failed to control the flood would be beaten by the flood and cry out "mother".
of course.
The water control is effective.
Under normal circumstances, a feudal dynasty would have no way to deal with such a natural disaster.
We held sacrifices in previous years.
Huh~
Does it still require sacrifice?
When it is hungry, it will climb up and find the sacrifice to eat. It will eat whoever it wants. After eating, it will wipe its mouth, give a good review and come back next time.
Lord Jiang's hands trembled slightly, "I am terrified."
Ah this...
Princess...isn't your intention to poach people too obvious?
"Hahaha~"
Shu Jiao smiled brightly, "I was just joking with you, sir."
After saying that, Shu Jiao became serious and started to communicate with him seriously about various information on flood control.
She explained clearly which section of the river was blocked, which embankment needed to be reinforced, and which section of the river was at risk of flooding again...
She can explain it clearly.
If you haven't actually seen it in person and truly understood it, you absolutely can't put it into words.
After hearing this, Lord Jiang couldn't help but look at her with a higher opinion.
In fact, Yunzhou also suffered a flood five years ago, and he contacted the fourth prince who was in charge of disaster relief at that time.
The other party's performance was far inferior to that of Princess Xining, who seemed spoiled, gentle and timid and was well-known.
After three or four days of docking work, Shu Jiao wanted to go back.
"Princess, take care."
When saying goodbye, Lord Jiang looked at Shu Jiao with a glimmer in his eyes.
"Let's go, Lord Jiang, please don't see me off."
Shu Jiao waved her hand and turned to Lord Jiang's guards, saying, "Lord Jiang is an indispensable pillar of the court. His safety must be guaranteed."
"Lord Jiang rushed all the way here, and he was in a hurry to attend to official business, so he worked all night long, which inevitably hurt his health. I heard Lord Jiang coughing yesterday, maybe he caught a cold."
"I have left behind a royal physician whom my father sent me."
"Master Jiang, please don't be shy about practicing medicine. Your health is important!"
Shu Jiao said with concern.
Lord Jiang was slightly stunned after hearing this, but then he couldn't help but feel a little touched, "Thank you for your concern, Princess."
Although he knew that Shu Jiao must have done it on purpose.
It's just a trick to win him over.
but!
It’s hard not to be fooled!
After watching Shu Jiao go away, Lord Jiang couldn't help but chuckle after getting rid of his previous emotions.
This father and daughter from the royal family are exactly the same in appearance and behavior.
Looking back to the past, he was just a minor official in charge of water conservancy. He was able to reach where he is today thanks to the promotion of his current superior.
When he was building water conservancy projects in Qingzhou, he was so exhausted that he fell seriously ill. Today, he came from thousands of miles away to deliver a three-page letter of concern and news about his wife and children.
The imperial physician and a large amount of expensive medicinal herbs arrived shortly afterwards.
He gained ten pounds.
So~
Princess Xining, your father used this trick first.
My old servant, I will stay on your father’s boat for the rest of my life and I am reluctant to leave.
Thinking of this, the smile on Lord Jiang's face became more and more obvious, and he murmured: "Son is like father, son is like father!"
The thing that the emperor has been worrying about for so many years should finally have a result.
Princess Xining...
His son inherited his ability in flood control and was likely to be able to serve Princess Xining.
How could Shu Jiao know what Lord Jiang was thinking?
Anyway, she just poached someone.
If she finds it, it’s her ability. If she doesn’t, she can try again next time.
What's the big deal?
He hurried back to Beijing.
Halfway through, 003 also issued a warning, "Attention! Attention! An assassination is coming."
Assassination?
Shu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Who?"
She just showed up and you're planning to assassinate her?
Who is so impatient?
003: "Old Six."
"So it turns out to be my dear Sixth Prince~"
Shu Jiao was not surprised at all.
Before she appeared, the Sixth Prince could barely be considered one of the heirs that Emperor Qianyuan focused on cultivating.
Just as Shu Jiao said before.
The Sixth Prince, Shu Zhi, was born to Concubine Liang and had the support of a powerful family. Most importantly, compared with the previous princes, he did have the potential to be a king who could maintain the status quo.
However, Emperor Qianyuan wanted more than just a king who could maintain the status quo.
But the children were not very good, so he had to settle for the second best and could only set his sights on Shu Zhi.
"He wants to kill me?"
Shu Jiao asked with interest.
"That's not the case either."
003 shook his head. "If he really wanted to kill you, Emperor Qianyuan might have looked upon him with more respect. But he only wanted to slightly disfigure you."
after all……
The ministers probably couldn't accept that a woman with a disfigured appearance could ascend the throne.
"what?"
Shu Jiao also fell silent.
No, man, seriously?
Since you are already thinking of assassinating her, why don't you just kill your competitor and wait for her revenge?
He dares not compete with the righteous side, but is too soft-hearted to take on the evil and crooked side.
He fights but doesn't understand, and he doesn't dare to kill. He is a waste.
This is it, and it’s still the best seedling.
No wonder Emperor Qianyuan was worried.
Which emperor would not be worried if he encountered this?
"Don't look at me. I don't know what he's thinking either."
003 was also speechless.
What’s the difference between this and a certain emperor surnamed Zhu shouting “Don’t let me bear the reputation of killing my uncle” during the Jingnan Campaign?
Emperor Qianyuan should thank its host sister for coming.
Otherwise, with all those damned things he raised, the Liang Dynasty would really be finished.
