Chapter 197: Princess Saint Ann is nothing to be afraid of?"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I specially transferred Tang Bingfu's subordinates away before rescuing the man. Now I have settled him in a safe place." Ah Ku took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and presented them to Yun Shu: "According to this person's account, his name is Tan Fengnian, he was a Jinshi in the seventh year of Xuanwu, and he has been transferred to the Water Affairs Department for more than three years. The entire Water Affairs Bureau is extremely idle, and the construction of the dam outside the city every year is done in a perfunctory manner. Although he couldn't stand it, he was powerless and his opinions would not have any effect. He can only try his best and do what he can. In the past two days, he has been going to the embankment for three consecutive days to collect evidence and sue Tang Bingfu because he found that there was a problem with the soil used to build the embankment. But I didn’t expect that something bad would happen today before all the evidence was collected.” On the paper he handed over were some more detailed instructions from Tan Fengnian. Yun Shu quickly browsed through it and had a general idea in his mind. "Let's check that Tang Bingfu."
The Ministry of Revenue allocates a considerable amount of money to the Water Affairs Bureau every year for building dams. Yun Shu didn't believe that a mere doctor from the Water Department dared to embezzle so much money and he didn't believe that he had no one behind him. She secretly calculated how long it would take her to find Xiao Yuanzi to make the cement: "Three days, is that enough?" "Subordinates take orders." When the Dragon Shadow Guards do things, there is never any question of bargaining. Once the master sets a time limit, no matter how difficult it is, they will try their best to get the job done. If they fail to do so, it is because they lack the ability. And the Dragon Shadow Guards absolutely cannot be incompetent. After Ah Ku bowed and accepted the order, he saw that Yun Shu had no other orders, so he disappeared in a flash. As for Yunshu, he returned to the villa and carefully looked up various questions on the Internet, such as "ancient method of making cement" and "how to make cement in large quantities in ancient times after traveling through time". Finally, a method was determined that could be implemented in Tiansheng Dynasty. The next morning, he hurried to the Water Affairs Bureau... and found Xiao Yuanzi next door. Her reasons were also very justified. I'm free anyway, so what's wrong with going next door to play in the mud? In response, Tang Bingfu said, "Your Highness is right," and "Your Highness is having fun," and he immediately sent a letter to the Crown Prince. He informed the Crown Prince in detail about Yunshu's behavior, which was not to be feared. "Not something to be afraid of?" The prince who received the letter was almost gnashing his teeth when he saw the four-character comment: “Since the beginning of this year, Yun Shu first entered the court at the age of thirteen and became the president of the General Chamber of Commerce. Later, he served as the chief examiner of the Spring Examination and won the admiration of countless poor students. Later, he replaced Gu and hosted this year’s poetry meeting! Now, the emperor has even asked her to enter the Ministry of Industry for training. Even after all this, he still dares to say that Yun Shu is nothing to be feared? Do I have to wait until Yun Shu completely replaces me before I can be feared enough? "
"Your Highness, calm down." The frequency of the Prince's tutor's sighs has also increased sharply in the past year: "Your Majesty is indeed a little too trusting of Princess Saint Ann. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.” "What do you mean, Master?" The prince narrowed his eyes: "Could this be a good thing?" "I heard that at the poetry meeting two days ago, the eldest son of Xuanping Marquis's mansion, Ji Yongxing, and the two people from the Wang and Li families offended Princess Sheng'an with their words. When His Majesty heard this, he bluntly said that these three people had bad personalities and it would be difficult for them to handle important responsibilities even if they entered the court. Although their reputations were not directly revoked, with such an evaluation before them, it was impossible for these three people to get a good ranking in the palace examination. " What happened at the poetry gathering before, because it involved Emperor Xuanwu, so after Yun Shu left Xianting, no one spread any gossip about it. As for the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, its reputation was completely lost, so such a shameful matter would certainly not be spread to outsiders. The remaining scholars were all smart people. Seeing that neither side had any intention of making the matter known, they also kept silent and chose to protect themselves. As a result, the news that the Prince's Tutor finally received was a vague and castrated version. But he didn't want to delve into it. After all, the only point in this matter that deserves his attention is that Yunshu has completely fallen out with the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the Wang family and the Li family, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation. This is a great opportunity for them! Seeing the Crown Prince's face suddenly relax after he obviously realized something, the Crown Prince's tutor also had a few thin smile lines on his face: “Your Highness said before that Princess Saint Ann has captured the hearts of many poor students, and this is indeed true. But at the same time, she also pushed the aristocratic families further away. Your Highness, in your opinion, how many poor children are needed to barely match the power that a noble family can bring? " "How can a group of ants turn the world upside down?" The prince sneered at first, but hesitated after a moment: "But didn't Grand Tutor always oppose my grandfather's attempts to win over the power of aristocratic families for me? Now……" "Today is different from the past!" The Prince's tutor sighed: “Although I don’t want to admit it, His Majesty’s treatment of you is indeed not as good as before. In the past, His Majesty trusted you, and you only needed to please His Majesty and you could rest assured. At a time like this, I, as an old minister, certainly do not recommend you to get too close to those aristocratic families. After all, your majesty's attitude towards the aristocratic families is well known. But now..." Now Emperor Xuanwu's attitude towards the crown prince has obviously changed. To put it in a less appropriate way, a broken mirror cannot be mended, and now that the crack exists, it is only likely to get bigger. In this situation, it is no longer possible to please.
Then he could only work hard to strengthen himself. As long as he could become strong enough that the emperor couldn't easily touch him, Then the position of the crown prince can still be secured. After realizing this, the prince's expression turned stern again: "What the Crown Prince's tutor said is correct. I will have someone pass the message to my grandfather in a moment. Tell him to win over Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the Li family, and the Wang family as soon as possible!" …… Yun Shu had no idea what kind of conversation took place on the prince's side. At this moment, she was surprised that Xiao Yuanzi was actually almost able to make cement! Although there is still a little bit missing, it can be done with just a simple reminder. She doesn't need to bother thinking of ways to guide him step by step. genius, Xiao Yuanzi is indeed a genuine genius! Yun Shu was pleasantly surprised and promised on the spot: "If this thing is really done, I will personally go to my father to ask for credit for you and give you a real official position!"
