Chapter 407 The Emperor Becomes Suspicious, Chu He Reborn
After Ji Chuhe went to the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion, the situation in the court changed.
The emperor returned to his study, feeling extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, please drink some tea to moisten your throat." Chao Sihai brought the tea to the emperor with a smile on his face.
"Today, Marquis Wuyang's attitude really shocked me."
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Chao Sihai boldly added, "Your Majesty, Marquis Wuyang has always taken the people of the world as his starting point, and he talks about the people of the world all day long. I feel that Marquis Wuyang's previous focus seemed to be on your Majesty's reopening of the Astrology Pavilion. Today in the court, his attention shifted to the major water conservancy repairs. Although the ultimate goal of these two things is the same, it is crucial to make Marquis Wuyang change his mind."
How could the emperor not notice something that everyone in the court could see clearly?
The emperor did not respond, but looked out the window, frowning in thought.
Ji Qingyuan predicts the future, which is confusing.
However, Shen Chengjing's confession of living a new life with the memories of his past life is convincing enough.
The emperor has almost figured out what happened in the previous life from the words of Shen Chengjing and Ji Qingyuan.
Of course, he didn't believe everything Shen Chengjing said.
People will hide some truths that are beneficial to themselves.
This is nature.
However, Shen Chengjing would never dare to deceive the emperor about what happened.
In her previous life, Ji Chuhe married Shen Chengjing. Shen Chengjing was able to gain his trust and become a powerful official second only to the emperor, and this must have been due to Ji Chuhe's help.
It can be seen that Ji Chuhe's talent is not inferior to that of men.
He received news that Ji Chuhe had visited Marquis Wuyang.
Then, the key person who caused Marquis Wuyang's transformation must be Ji Chuhe.
A thought always flashed through the emperor's mind these past two days.
People like Shen Chengjing and Ji Qingyuan can live again with the memories of their past lives.
What about Ji Chuhe?
Did she also live again with the memories of her past life?
However, so far, Ji Chuhe has not shown any memory of his past life.
If she had the memories of her previous life, she would know the fate of the Huaiyang Palace. With her intelligence, she would definitely find a way to draw a clear line between herself and the Huaiyang Palace instead of staying wholeheartedly with Xiao Yanan like she is now.
Although the emperor denied this idea himself, he still did not completely dispel this doubt.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Jing requests to see you." A voice of announcement came from outside.
"Let him in."
Shen Chengjing walked in respectfully wearing a mask, "Your Majesty, this is the flood control strategy that I spent three nights writing. Please take a look."
Chao Sihai immediately presented the things to the emperor.
After reading it, the emperor nodded in agreement, "Shen Chengjing, I will leave the tasks of managing the river, digging canals to divert water, and reinforcing the riverbanks to you. You must minimize the losses caused by this flood to our dynasty!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! I will definitely not let you down!" Shen Chengjing immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
"Your new identity to the outside world is a sorcerer from the Astrology Pavilion. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Shen Chengjing responded immediately.
In this life, he is full of confidence in taking on this mission!
In fact, the strategy he presented to the Emperor was not what he had in mind at all.
In his previous life, he was highly valued by the emperor and was responsible for dealing with this flood.
At that time, he was so panicked! How could he handle the flood?
This task is a hot potato.
When Ji Chuhe heard that he had received this mission, he immediately decided to rush to the flood-stricken area with him.
It was also she who reminded him to employ some local officials who were familiar with the terrain and work together to control the situation.
The strategy he now presented to the emperor was devised by those officials together.
Moreover, he also made more reasonable adjustments based on the disasters that occurred in his previous life. He believed that there was absolutely no one else in the court who could come up with a better strategy than him!
The emperor took this strategy to the court.
Some officials who are familiar with water conservancy all praised it highly.
"This strategy was thought up by a sorcerer in the Astrology Pavilion. Today, I want to use this strategy to tell you that I reopened the Astrology Pavilion only for the sake of the country and the people. The sorcerers in the Astrology Pavilion are not just charlatans who can only spread lies to confuse the people. They also have great talents and strategies, just like you, my dear ministers."
No one refuted this statement.
The voices clamoring for the emperor to close the Astrology Pavilion also disappeared.
When Marquis Wuyang saw this strategy, he did not express any opinion.
However, after leaving the court, he copied a copy by hand and had it secretly delivered to the prince's residence.
When Ji Chuhe took this thing out of the lunch box, he was surprised.
After seeing the contents of this thing, her expression changed drastically.
Xiao Yanan looked at Ji Chuhe's changes and became nervous.
He had never seen such a solemn expression on his wife's face before.
"Madam, what did Marquis Wuyang send?"
Ji Chuhe did not answer, but handed the thing to Xiao Yan'an and let him read it himself.
Her heart seemed to be filled with a huge wave, and she paced around the room continuously.
This thing was only known to her, and it appeared at this time. How incredible!
Because this is a strategy that was thought of after the disaster in the previous life!
Moreover, this strategy has been improved.
Where to block, where to drain, and where the flood will be most severe can all be predicted in advance!
Moreover, she is familiar with this strategy!
Incomparably familiar!
It was thought up by the local officials based on the situation at the time!
This thing could never have come from Ji Qingyuan's hand.
However, she had no way of determining who had done it.
Is there another person who has been reborn in this world?
Who will this person be?
The key point is that this person is still by the emperor's side and is highly valued by the emperor.
Her previous guess that the Astrology Pavilion was restarted for Ji Qingyuan might be wrong. The Astrology Pavilion was restarted because of this person.
Since this person knew about the flood, how much does he know about what happened afterwards?
If such a person exists, it would definitely not be a good thing for them.
After reading this document, Xiao Yan'an didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But if there was no problem, how could Madam have such an expression?
"Ma'am, is there anything wrong with what's on it?"
"At first glance, there seems to be no problem. However, they have overlooked a very important thing." Ji Chuhe spoke slowly.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yan'an asked immediately.
"If a flood really comes, relying solely on this strategy, even if we make full preparations in advance according to the above content, it can only reduce some losses. It is impossible for people to control the flood. So how should the people make arrangements?"
"Yes! How should the people be arranged? No wonder Marquis Wuyang was so anxious to give this thing to Madam for review!" Xiao Yan'an did not doubt him and thought that Ji Chuhe's strange expression just now was because he thought of this serious matter.
