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

Just like this, memorials from court officials were sent into the Xuanshi Hall like snowflakes.

When Abao brought Liang Qingyu back to the East Palace, those court officials who opposed Abao's ascension to the throne saw it as a provocation against them.

Ten days later, the undercurrent was surging.

The old emperor finally summoned Abao and Yuan Shoufu to the Xuanshi Hall.

Prime Minister Yuan was nearly sixty years old, with gray hair on his temples and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were bright and sharp, and when he stared at A Bao motionlessly, he was extremely intimidating.

However, A Bao looked directly at Prime Minister Yuan without any fear.

It was a hot summer afternoon and the light coming through the palace windows was dazzling.

A Bao stood in the hall with a calm expression.

The old emperor stroked the dragon claw handle of the throne, thinking, and asked sternly: "The candidates for the governors of the three states? Does Minister Yuan have any suggestions?"

Yuan Shoufu said worriedly: "The autumn flood is approaching, and the selection of a new governor of the three states is imminent. I think that Chang Kang, the river official, deserves the title of governor."

As he spoke, Yuan Shoufu did not hesitate to praise him: "This Chang Kang is a man who is good at water management. In the three years he served as a river official, he not only made great achievements in flood prevention and disaster relief, but was also deeply loved by the people. If Chang Kang takes over as the governor of the three states, the people of Jiangnan will surely feel that Your Majesty is wise."

A Bao sneered in his heart.

Old man Yuan is very good at flattering the old emperor.

But the old emperor was very satisfied with what Prime Minister Yuan said.

Ah Bao suppressed his sarcasm and tried to maintain a calm tone: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is absolutely right. I have also often heard my cousin Yun Zheng mention this Chang Kang - Lord Chang."

Prime Minister Yuan was quite surprised.

Her Royal Highness the Princess actually agreed to his proposal?

At the same time, Po looked at the old emperor on the throne with satisfaction, his brows furrowed.

Sure enough, as soon as the old emperor heard the name Xiao Yunzheng, he immediately became suspicious.

What is the relationship between that kid Xiao Yunzheng and Chang Kang?

After all, Xiao Yunzheng was born in the Xiao Palace of Jiangnan. If he wanted to use the Three States Governor's Office to check and balance the Xiao Palace of Jiangnan, the new Three States Governor must not have any connection with the Xiao family.

The old emperor was full of questions and was very depressed: What happened to my good daughter? Was she blinded by beauty? She did not hesitate to stir up a huge storm in the court and insisted on appointing Liang Qingyu as the new governor of the three states. Why did she suddenly listen to Xiao Yunzheng's pillow talk?

The old emperor could not help but sigh: I just said I forgot one thing! It turned out that I forgot to tell Abao that although beauty is pleasing to the eye, don't let it mislead you!

Thinking of this, the old emperor became even angrier.

Using Chang Kang to control Jiangnan is a good plan!

This kid Xiao Yunzheng actually dared to whisper in my daughter's ear!

However, in the Xuanshi Hall, Abao remained calm.

After hesitating for a moment, Prime Minister Yuan suddenly realized: once the old emperor suspected that Chang Kang was from the Xiao Palace in Jiangnan, the position of governor-general of the three states would no longer have anything to do with Chang Kang.

A Bao's move is to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Yuan Shoufu was a shrewd man who changed the subject immediately: "The autumn floods in the prefectures and counties in Jiangnan are urgent, and strengthening the dikes is a matter of urgency! Since the princess thinks Liang Qingyu has the ability to manage the river, I think it would be better to create a new position of deputy governor of the three states."

"Gather the talents of Chang Kang and Liang Qingyu to stabilize the autumn flood first."

"Deputy Governor of the Three States?" A Bao said calmly, "Then, who do you think should be the governor? And who should be the deputy governor?"

"Your Highness, from experience, Chang Kang should be the correct one."

Hearing this, A Bao's smile grew colder.

After a moment of indifference, A Bao turned around and looked at the old emperor sitting on the throne.

Her words were sharp: "Governor Lin has been deceiving his superiors and subordinates, taking bribes and breaking the law for nearly ten years, yet no one from the Jiangnan River officials reported this to the emperor."

After hearing these meaningful words, the old emperor became more and more doubtful.

A Bao continued in a deep voice, "Did the huge amount of money the court allocated to the river in Jiangnan in recent years only enrich Governor Lin? The court allocated money to repair the dam, making a profit. The court allocated money to disaster relief, making another profit. How many people have kept such an account in mind?"

“The people in the south of the Yangtze River have suffered from the river for a long time.”

“The rivers in the south of the Yangtze River that extend in all directions are ‘water’, and the people are also ‘water’.”

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

A Bao stated a fact in a calm tone: "Since you are going to appoint a deputy governor of three states, who has never been appointed in hundreds of years, I just think that why doesn't your father take this opportunity to tell the people of Jiangnan that the court intends to change the deep-rooted problems in the officialdom of the Jiangnan river."

"Everything comes first, eliminating river disasters."
