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

A Bao let go of Shi Zejing's wrist, feeling very apologetic.

"Mr. Shi looks too much like an old acquaintance of mine. He is clearly dead. I am sorry to see him alive again."

However, when I thought of the Princess of the East Palace suddenly mentioning Mengjia Village.

At this time, Zejing was still wary of Abao.

It was just on the surface. Shi Zejing was very polite and said with a smile, "It's okay. It's just a small matter. Please don't take it to heart, Princess."

The scene was obviously very harmonious.

But, Abao always felt that something was wrong.

He watched silently as Xuan Changdu took Shi Xi and Shi Zejing to the cabin to put their luggage.

A Bao recalled his previous life and the long conversation he had with Meng Guanjing when he first met him.

In the spring of his previous life, A Bao, on the orders of the old emperor, went to the post station to visit the newly crowned number one scholar, Meng Guanjing, with a table of imperial banquet.

Unexpectedly, she and Meng Guanjing hit it off right away.

A Bao had read Meng Guanjing's answer sheet for the Spring Examination in the Xuanshi Hall and found it very interesting, especially the top scorer's views on the river disasters in the south of the Yangtze River.

"I deeply feel that what the champion said makes sense, but there are still one or two points I don't understand."

"What don't you understand?"

“Why do we need to tighten the river channel when the water is flowing fast?”

"That's to use the force of the water to clear the silt and sand from the riverbed."

When it comes to managing river disasters, Meng Guanjing is very interested. "The river system in the south of the Yangtze River is complex. We must adapt to local conditions, consider the terrain and water conditions, and choose the most appropriate method for each river, such as building dams, planting willows, and using artificial rivers to divert floodwaters and reduce flow..."

Hearing this, A Bao smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with Meng Guanjing.

After three rounds of drinking, Meng Guanjing was drunk and looked very excited.

"One day, I will be the governor of three states! Why should I worry about the river disaster in the south of the Yangtze River?!" After saying this, the newly crowned champion smiled and said, "Princess, do you think I am too arrogant?"

A Bao smiled and shook his head: "Today's conversation was very interesting."

"But who says the number one scholar can't be the governor of three states?"

"The rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are calm and peaceful, and the future is promising."

Upon hearing this, Meng Guanjing, whose face was flushed with drunkenness, tilted his head to look at Abao.

After a long silence, Meng Guanjing suddenly realized.

"It turns out that Her Royal Highness the Princess is also interested in river management."

"Every profession has its specialties. If I manage the river, the people of Jiangnan will be doomed!"

Ah Bao was also drunk, but not completely drunk, so she asked half-seriously, "But, Zhuangyuanlang, do you want to try it?"

Meng Guanjing lifted the lid of the wine jug and gulped down the entire jug of Lihuabai.

When the alcohol was rushing to his head, Meng Guanjing slammed the table.

"Just try it!"

Later, Meng Guanjing drank too much and lost his memory.

A Bao asked him if he remembered what he said, and he shook his head silently.

In fact, she thought he had forgotten.

He always remembered.

In the fourth year of her reign, Meng Guanjing requested to be transferred to the position of river official.

She gave him a sacred water-controlling beast and allowed him to take up the post.

Later, Pei Guichen usurped the throne.

Meng Guanjing actually doesn't care who is sitting on the throne in the Taiji Hall.

He only cared about whether the one sitting on the throne of Taiji Temple supported him in eliminating river disasters and providing the common people with a home where they could live and work in peace and contentment.

However, Meng Guanjing was still involved in the secret struggle in the officialdom of Jiangnan.

After ten years of hard work on the river, and with the Quliang River being peaceful for many years, Meng Guanjing became the reincarnation of the Dragon King in the eyes of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Then in the 15th year of Tiansheng, Meng Guanjing was impeached by Chang Kang, the governor of three states.

Chang Kang found a statue of a water-controlling beast in Meng Guanjing's home and claimed that Meng Guanjing's home was secretly storing things given by the Empress Xuanyuan of the previous dynasty, and that he must be plotting rebellion.

This is just an excuse.

However, although Meng Guanjing's reputation in the hearts of the people aroused Pei Guichen's fear, it also gave Meng Guanjing an invisible protection. Pei Guichen was worried that if he dealt with Meng Guanjing ruthlessly, it would surely arouse public resentment.

In the end, Meng Guanjing was placed under house arrest.

However, the newly appointed river officials were useless, and floods hit Jiangnan severely thereafter.

Pei Guichen was forced to release Meng Guanjing and ordered him to control the river again.

From then on, Meng Guanjing probably knew that he would eventually die under the imperial fear of Pei Guichen, and the ambitions he had in his youth were no longer there.

In his previous life, A Bao's soul had witnessed the announcement of Meng Guanjing's death.

When Meng Guanjing was inspecting the river defense, he passed by the section of the river where Liang Qingyu had died of illness. Having been supervising the dam construction all night for several days, Meng Guanjing was too tired and fell into the river, and was instantly submerged by the rolling river water.
