Prince Mo Tanhuan

The path that the carriage takes, the palace that takes a shortcut.

The red-lacquered vermilion doors opened one by one, and the carriage rolled forward on the ground paved with white jade, and finally came to the bottom of the imperial study.

After getting out of the carriage, Gu Liuer looked at the long jade steps in front of her, and suddenly felt that her feet were filled with lead, and she couldn't even walk.

Eunuch Li, who was beside the father, saw him get off the carriage, and hurried down, panting beside him and said anxiously: "Oh, my fifth prince, you are back."

Gu Liu'er gave him a faint smile: "Elder-in-law has worked hard."

During his absence, the emperor's temper must be volatile, and the one who suffers must be his close father-in-law.

"It's not hard work. It's an honor for a veteran to serve His Majesty." After finishing speaking, Eunuch Li took small steps to lead Gu Liu'er the way, "Your Highness, I will see Your Majesty later. You must first give in and admit your mistakes, so that His Majesty will feel better. After all, you have been away for a year, but your majesty and this old slave are very worried. Your majesty is at fault for this matter. You must not contradict your majesty like you used to..."

No matter how long the court rank is, Eunuch Li has been reading for as long as possible.

Eunuch Li was an old minister who followed his father and watched Gu Liuer grow up. Since he was a child, Gu Liuer had caused countless disasters, so Eunuch Li begged for countless favors.

Waiting at the entrance of the imperial study, Eunuch Li whispered to Gu Liu'er to meet the holy occasion, then slowly took a breath, adjusted his mood, and entered the imperial study with his whisk.

The door of the imperial study room was closed again, Gu Liuer was looking around outside, and wanted to chat with the gate guards, but seeing that this person was an acquaintance, he had already cultivated a solid body, no matter what Gu Liuer said She would understand, so Gu Liu'er closed her mouth that was about to speak, and curled her lips.

Royal father is also true, the guards guarding the gate have not been changed for so many years, just a few waves of back and forth.

Eunuch Li opened the door again with small steps, came out and said, "Your Highness, go in, remember to be soft first..."

"Understood, Eunuch Li." Gu Liuer replied with a smile. He rubbed his face and put on a playful smile before he stepped in.

The Great Qin Emperor An Peifeng was sitting in front of the dragon case, and when he heard Gu Liuer's "da da da" voice coming in, he said without raising his head, "Finally you know you're back?"

Gu Liuer immediately smiled and said, "Father, my son brought you Luozhou specialties this time."

An Peifeng deflated, and his anger was suppressed abruptly.It took him a while to raise his head and said, "What specialty?"

Gu Liuer immediately stepped on the wooden clogs, ran forward with a "da da da", and took out a package of things wrapped in oil paper from her arms: "Lotus crisp."

The oiled paper was spread out, a pile of red, white and green powder.

The two people staring at the oil paper were speechless.

Gu Liuer was the first to react, and said, "Ah, it's broken."

An Peifeng: "..."

Gu Liu'er wanted to wrap the oiled paper up and put it back into her bosom, but An Peifeng pressed it down: "Okay, put it here, and it will all fall on me later. Why isn't there any pastry palace?"

Gu Liu'er put it down obediently, then ran back to the spot with a "da da da", standing straight and looking at An Peifeng.

An Peifeng looked at him like this, wanted to get angry but couldn't.

Gu Liu'er doesn't have any other skills, but pretending is the strongest. When Ziyu is angry, he changes ways to please Ziyu, and An Peifeng changes ways to please An Peifeng when he is angry. In short, he is like a fish in water in the harem. Let's act.

An Peifeng originally wanted to blame him for going out of the palace to endure hardships, but he wanted to say the word "thin", but he looked at Gu Liuer for a while, and found that this person had a rosy complexion, not to mention thinner, he seemed to be... a little fatter?

An Peifeng had no choice but to raise his airs and said, "Aren't you cold if you wear this lightly?"

Gu Liuer said: "Father, have you seen the big sun outside?"

An Peifeng: "..."

An Peifeng frowned: "What are you wearing? Your feet are all exposed, how decent!"

"These are called wooden clogs." Gu Liu'er raised her foot and said with a smile, "I'll make a pair of them later, and bring them to my father, cool!"

An Peifeng was speechless again.

When I didn't see Gu Liu'er's anger, I thought that when I saw him, I would catch him and scold him for a day, but when I saw him, I didn't know what to say.Damn it, this child seems to live more happily outside the palace than in the palace.

"Father, is there nothing wrong with the minister going back first?" Gu Liuer asked cautiously.

"Wait!" An Peifeng finally remembered something, and said with a serious face, "I heard from Lin Aiqing that you accepted Yu Shulin, the son of the prefect of Luozhou, as your male favourite?"

Gu Liu'er corrected without changing her face: "No, father, it was Yu Shulin who accepted his minister as a male favourite."

An Peifeng: "..."

"Snapped"!

An Peifeng slapped the case and became angry: "Come here! Drag Yu Shulin to be beheaded!"

Gu Liuer hurriedly said: "Why don't the father drag the minister out first and behead him?"

"Come here! Drag the fifth prince out and behead him!"

An Peifeng was in a hurry, but the guards at the door had long been used to one thing: when the fifth prince was present, no matter who your majesty said to drag out and beheaded, just ignore him, otherwise your majesty would be the first to behead afterwards, especially the one who didn't wink people.

After An Pei gasped for a few breaths, Gu Liu'er said: "Father, have you calmed down?"

"no!"

"Father, you continue." After finishing speaking, Gu Liuer shut up and stood peacefully.

An Peifeng glanced at him, and became angry again, and he said loudly, "Calm down!"

"Then Father, let's talk about other things first?" Gu Liuer blinked and said, "Is the flood in Yizhou a serious concern for Father?"

An Peifeng was slightly taken aback, his face sank: "News from Hongchen Pavilion?"

"En." Gu Liuer nodded, but Hongchen Pavilion was only in charge of Luozhou, and the news about Yizhou came from other intelligence networks.But of course he won't dig his own grave.

An Peifeng sat down and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"

"Floods in Yizhou basically happen every year. It's just that the old men in the court always want to dig holes. My ministers think that a canal can be dug to connect Yizhou and Huzhou. Huzhou is a rich land with a lot of farmland and a huge population. There is water shortage, but it cannot be said that it will not happen in the future. If there is this canal, it will kill three birds with one stone. In addition to the water problem between the two places, it can also communicate with the two places and promote business exchanges.”

After Gu Liuer's clear analysis, An Peifeng hesitated and said: "It's not that no one has mentioned it, but Huzhou and Yizhou are not close. This canal is a huge expense both in terms of time and financial resources..."

"Father, isn't the time and financial resources spent digging holes for so many years enough to build this canal?" Gu Liu'er interrupted An Peifeng's words and asked back.

"What should Yizhou do when the canal is being built?" An Peifeng asked.

"The canal will be built from Huzhou to Yizhou..." Gu Liu'er smiled, "Father, after digging so many holes for so many years, I always want to use the holes inside to irrigate farmland. Why don't I want to fish? Disaster relief Every time a level of money is taken, one level is cut off, and there is not much left in the disaster area, why not just teach them to fish?"

After Gu Liuer finished speaking, An Peifeng rested his chin and pondered for a moment, then said: "In a flooded area, fishing is not the best choice."

Gu Liuer continued: "It is true that the fishery industry will also be affected by the flood, so the holes dug to develop the fishery industry, and the rest of the land to return the farmland to grassland to develop animal husbandry, especially along the big river, should not think about the convenience of irrigation, but should Plant grass and trees as soon as possible to prevent flooding.”

With all these remarks, the imperial study room became quiet.

After a while, An Peifeng smiled and shook his head, saying: "I will discuss this matter in the morning tomorrow."

Gu Liu'er also smiled brightly and said, "Father, have you calmed down yet?"

An Peifeng glared at him, quite helpless: "If you really don't want to stay in the palace, then bring more attendants, outside the palace..."

"No, no need." Gu Liuer interrupted, waving her hands and said, "Father, can you still not trust my son's martial arts? Besides, how many people outside really know that my son is the fifth prince?"

When the emperor sent troops to search for it, he didn't post Gu Liu'er's portrait everywhere, just to ensure his safety.Those who had Gu Liuer's portrait in the army were also banned, and if it spread, they would be punished by the nine clans.

"Liu'er, you must come back on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival." This is what An Peifeng said to him last.

"understood."

After Gu Liuer left, Lin Luhe came out from behind the scenes.

"How?" An Peifeng looked at him.

Lin Luhe looked at the door with his hands behind his back, and said earnestly: "It was indeed the right choice to abandon the prince and protect the fifth prince."

An Peifeng looked towards the door and remained silent.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, can he not feel pain?

But when the three princes gathered together, although everyone was different on the surface, the last note that was written on it all chose the fifth prince, including him, the emperor.

Was An Ruohong's death really the fault of An Ruoliu alone?
