After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

If A Bao knew what Pei Guichen was thinking, he would definitely ridicule him.

Extremely difficult?

Ah.

It's simply impossible!

Next to the window of the inner hall of the East Palace, a soft couch was basking in the warm sun.

A Bao lazily mixed new rouge and resolutely refused to speak.

There was a long, eerie silence that seemed endless.

However, it was Pei Guichen who finally broke the silence and said, "Jiangnan has been a rich and fertile land since ancient times, and is an important source of tax revenue for the imperial court."

As soon as these words were spoken, A Bao guessed Pei Guichen's plan.

While fiddling with her rouge, she smiled and looked up at Pei Guichen who was standing across the table.

Now, the position of Governor-General of the Three States is vacant, and the civil and military officials in the court are arguing over who will be the next Governor-General of the Three States.

Such a scene had happened in the previous life.

In his previous life, Pei Guichen recommended a river official named Chang Kang.

Before issuing the appointment order, A Bao specially investigated the river official Chang Kang and found nothing unusual.

During the three years that Chang Kang served in Hedao, he also made considerable achievements.

So, A Bao agreed to Pei Guichen's proposal.

However, it was not until she was buried alive that Pei Guichen usurped the throne of Daqi and became emperor.

One year, Chang Kang was ordered to go to the imperial capital to report on his work.

A Bao finally learned the truth that Chang Kang had always been loyal to Pei Guichen. By controlling Chang Kang, Pei Guichen's power gradually encroached on the wealthy areas of Jiangnan.

A Bao sneered in his heart and looked at Pei Guichen silently.

After being reborn, I once again hand over the control of Jiangnan to you?

I have no interest in self-abuse.

With this in mind, A Bao spread out the rice paper, dipped the freshly prepared Kite and Butterfly rouge between his right fingers, and used his fingers as a brush to draw a complete map of the Jiangnan water system on the rice paper.

The winding crimson water system is like the blood of Daqi.

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it."

"This 'water' refers to the vast water system in Jiangnan that connects in all directions and the convenient and fast water transport; it also refers to the people of Daqi."

"There are many water systems in the south of the Yangtze River. Every year, the imperial court allocates silver to the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River for flood prevention in spring and summer and to strengthen the dikes. However, there are always two or three dike breaches during the flood season every year. The people on both sides of the rivers suffer terribly."

Ah Bao stared at the red water system and deliberately misinterpreted Pei Guichen's words, "I know Brother Pei is worried that the governors of the three states will not be chosen well, and he will be the next Governor Lin who sucks blood from the people of Jiangnan. Therefore, this time, I must choose carefully."

"Come to think of it, that day, cousin Yun Zheng also mentioned this to me."

As he spoke, A Bao pretended to be casual and revealed, "My cousin Yun Zheng recommended me a man who is good at water management. It is said that this man has studied the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River for many years and has a lot of insights."

Seeing Pei Guichen's eyes change slightly, he seemed to be doubtful.

Ah Bao continued to smile, and said meaningfully, "I have never seen Cousin Yun Zheng praise someone so much. It makes me want to meet this Chang Kang, Master Chang."

As soon as he heard Chang Kang's name, Pei Guichen became more suspicious.

When did Xiao Yunzheng get in touch with Chang Kang?

After thinking about it, I found something wrong.

Having experienced his past life, Chang Kang was certain of his loyalty.

In this case, Xiao Yunzheng deliberately recommended Chang Kang to Abao as the new governor of the three states. It seemed that Chang Kang was Xiao Yunzheng's man. This move must be to make him doubt Chang Kang's loyalty.

Pei Guichen sneered in his heart, it turned out to be Xiao Yunzheng's plan to sow discord.

Better to take advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, Pei Guichen echoed A Bao's words.

"When I was in Huainan, I often heard of Chang Kang's reputation for flood control."

"Just as Mr. Xiao Ce said, he is a capable person."

Pei Guichen and Abao were tested successfully, but they just smiled and said nothing.

She took a wet towel beside her and wiped the rouge on her fingertips carelessly.

Seeing this, Pei Guichen became increasingly confused about what A Bao meant.

He was about to try again.

A Bao smiled and said, "June 18th is Father's birthday."

Changing the subject, she clenched the wet handkerchief and looked at Pei Guichen: "According to convention, all the gentlemen in the East Palace must present birthday gifts. Brother Pei, have you thought of what to give?"

A Bao's eyes were shining as he smiled softly.

When Pei Guichen saw this, he was suddenly stunned.
