After rebirth, I ran wild in the heart of His Highness the Prince

Chapter 231

The memorial galloped all the way, and appeared on the emperor's desk three days later.

Gu Siyuan wrote everything clearly in the memorial, revealing everything he saw and heard, and finally added that if he did not prepare early and be prepared, he would be afraid that natural disasters would come and the people would suffer.

"What does His Majesty think?"

Duke Xia, who was serving the emperor, openly said that he had served the emperor for many years and could not understand the words of the Holy Heart at all. He was afraid that he would not be able to survive today.

Eunuch Xia saw that the emperor did not pay much attention to the memorial sent urgently by His Royal Highness.

"The prince behaves prudently, but he followed the rules too much when he went to Jiangnan. Jiangnan is always rainy, and the rainy season lasts for several months every year. There has never been any trouble. Now that he has gone, he is confused."

"According to His Majesty's wishes?"

The memorial was coldly brushed aside by the emperor, "I'm telling you to let the prince rest at ease in the south of the Yangtze River, so that he can better understand the sentiments of the people, and don't worry unfoundedly and think about worrying things all day long."

Eunuch Xia bowed his head respectfully.

-

The residence of the prefect Lin in Jiangnan.

"Lord Lin, will His Royal Highness really give up on rebuilding the dam?"

The speaker was the head of the Li family, one of the four richest men in the south of the Yangtze River. He sighed and touched his half-white beard.

Magistrate Lin sneered disdainfully and changed his face completely. Where was the respectful shrinking in front of Gu Siyuan?

His cloudy eyes were filled with contempt, and so were his words.

"He's just a prince being held in high esteem in Kyoto. Why do you need to be so nervous?"

"For so many years, Jiangnan has been raining every year like a natural disaster. We are all accustomed to it. The prince is a newbie here, ambitious and wants to make some achievements."

Magistrate Lin stretched out his hand and poked it upwards, and said with a proud look: "I am the one who controls Jiangnan, not the prince. What are you afraid of?"

"Are you afraid that this young boy will find something?"

He slowly stood up, the fat on his waist and abdomen trembling.

Five days later, Gu Siyuan received the oral instruction from his father and was silent for a long time.

Chang Qing bit her lower lip. How could the emperor who was far away in Kyoto understand the helplessness and passivity of His Highness the Crown Prince? Although Jiangnan is a good place and a treasure that everyone praises, there are countless filth and evil hidden under the surface of the scenery.

The people in Jiangnan Mansion seemed to be respectful to Gu Siyuan, and even Chang Qing could see clearly that those people didn't take His Highness seriously at all, and only wanted to send them away as soon as possible.

Building the dam was a precautionary measure, but it was obvious that the squire who colluded with the government, including the glorious prefect and other officials, were just a bunch of moths.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? According to His Majesty's wishes..."

Before Chang Qing could finish her words, she was stopped by Gu Siyuan's eyes.

Disappointment was inevitable, but for some reason, Gu Siyuan's eyes reappeared. Qin Zhongwan told him to be careful about floods, and if possible, it would be best to make some preparations in advance with a solemn expression.

Changqing couldn't help complaining, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is too careless."

"Changqing, the walls have ears."

Changqing was shocked. She followed Gu Siyuan to Jiangnan. The rules were not as strict as those in the palace. She felt she had made a mistake, so Changqing said nothing more.

Gu Siyuan did not give up easily despite the oral instructions. He summoned the meteorological officer from Jiangnan Prefecture who was responsible for recording the weather and reviewed the records over the years.

Lin Zhifu also heard the news that His Highness the Crown Prince was painstakingly studying in his room. He didn't take it seriously and thought Gu Siyuan was making a fool of himself.

Five days later, a memorial was sent to Kyoto again.

……

"The prince has sent an urgent report for you all to have a look at."

The memorial was read by the courtiers in turn, and everyone had different expressions.

Gu Siyi glanced at ten lines, and after a rough glance, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing disdain and contempt.

He still thought of himself as his good imperial brother and caused so much trouble in Jiangnan, but now it seems that it was nothing more than that and a complete waste of time.

It was a great opportunity, but only focusing on unwarranted floods seemed ridiculous to Gu Siyi. However, for him, this was a good opportunity sent by God.

"Father, I think the prince's actions are unfounded..."

Gu Siyi's criticism was merciless and attracted the support of the courtiers.

The people in the prince's party saw that the situation was not right and argued for a few words, but were retorted by Gu Siyi's sharp tongue.

"The third prince is absolutely right. The prince's move is too rash."

With the emperor's approval, Gu Siyi's expression became more and more proud, and he could hardly hide it.

In his opinion, Jiangnan and his party were just the beginning of the prince's fall from power.

He was worried that he had no place for his good brother to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that Gu Siyuan would destroy himself.

Your Majesty, I am satisfied with the words of the third prince. The courtiers looked at the words with their noses and noses, and most of them agreed. Although the prince's party was unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to remain silent to avoid getting burned.

This matter is in the court and will not be settled.

The emperor deliberately ignored Gu Siyuan. Not only did he not agree to Gu Siyuan's request, he also gave him a few words of reprimand.

The admonishment was neither painful nor itchy, but in the ever-changing court, it was enough to shake people's hearts.
