Chapter 660: 651 Female Veneration: The Great God Above (6) More 1

This year’s flood disaster was beyond Minister Li’s expectations.

The people from the Department of Households were almost willing to spend their nights in the office.

Minister Li simply had no time to take care of other matters, fully focused on the past flood records noted in the case files.

A letter from the Second Princess relieved his urgent need.

It cannot be said that the Second Princess’s solution was the best, but for someone her age, to have such insight and respond so quickly, she already showed certain qualifications.

Especially in such a critical time, Minister Li was filled with gratitude towards the Second Princess.

Seeing that the Prime Minister came over in haste because of a policy paper, Minister Li took it and read it.

Shaohua, having lived through several worlds, had gained some understanding of flood disasters. In ancient times, aside from large-scale wars, the greatest disaster was this kind of natural catastrophe.

Especially the epidemics after the flood, they were simply uncontrollable.

What ordinary people think of is to build dams, to store water.

Then it is about relocating residents from the neighborhoods near the Yellow River to the greatest extent possible.

Everyone knows these ideas in theory, much like a general strategizing on paper. Talking is easy for anyone, but implementing is incredibly difficult, as the river’s erosion changes much of the landscape.

The flood waters still raged, and the officials dispatched by the Royal Court did not dare to go to the worst-hit areas.

Now, the death and missing person figures reported were already over ten million.

The solution Shaohua proposed was generated from simulating the map in her head. The main cause of the flood disaster was the bending and obstruction of the river, so the most important thing was to dredge it.

To construct dams and reservoirs to store water, if the downpour is too heavy and the dams are destroyed, a devastating demise awaits all the common people.

Altering the river course and afforestation to address desertification fundamentally is the most essential method of resolution.

This was something unprecedented in the Wang Dynasty, and Minister Li’s eyes brightened at the sight of it. Grasping the policy paper copied by the Prime Minister, she couldn’t help but slam her hand on the desk, "Prime Minister, did you write this paper?"

The Prime Minister shook his head, "It was written by the Eldest Princess."

"The Eldest Princess?" Minister Li’s smile gradually faded, and then he became serious, "Are you sure?"

"She wrote it right in front of me. To propose such a fundamental method of governance, it’s unprecedented," said the Prime Minister.

A venerable Prime Minister like him would naturally not lie about such a matter.

Moreover, the Prime Minister was notoriously loyal and uncompromising.

Minister Li squinted at the policy paper in his hand, growing more astonished as he read. Could such an exceptional policy paper truly have been written by the Eldest Princess?

The Eldest Princess had been the darling of the Empress since she was born. When the Second Princess was already studying the historical records at the age of five, the Eldest Princess, out of laziness, would not get out of bed and skipped classes with the Prime Minister, to the extent that she could only barely recognize characters at five years old.

Compared to the average person, this could be regarded as extraordinary, but this is the Imperial Family, where the Empress herself was able to handle state affairs at the age of nine.

Forget the Empress, even compared to the Second Princess, the Eldest Princess was not very exceptional, and her growth was seen as extremely poor in the eyes of various officials.

Knowing now that in all respects the Eldest Princess had not been very outstanding, the Ministers had some reservations about the Empress having named the Eldest Princess as the Crown Princess.

Minister Li had not expected that such an Eldest Princess could actually write such a well-founded policy paper.

Was this really the Eldest Princess hiding her skills before, or was it just a moment of inspiration she happened to come across?

She didn’t know, but even if it was written by the Eldest Princess, she didn’t have much expectation for her.

A momentary state was not enough to change her impression of Shaohua.

Just like a volcano that erupts only to extinguish instantly, no different from a common mediocre person.

The Eldest Princess was too fickle, who knew whether in the next second she would again engage in frivolous pleasures?

Minister Li was not like the Prime Minister who had personally witnessed Shaohua writing the paper, in just half an hour at that, but even he knew that no one would believe this if he said it.

She simply gave Minister Li a deep look. If Minister Li had seen the Eldest Princess’s calligraphy, he certainly wouldn’t have the expression he has now.

Nevertheless, Minister Li took the policy paper to find the other Ministers.

At the moment, they were still searching through documents.

Zhang Lu was the imperial envoy in charge of this flood disaster. When Minister Li received the letter from the Second Princess, he immediately sent a copy to Zhang Lu’s side.

Upon arrival, these people were still discussing the flood.

"Minister Zhang, many virtuous and capable people have emerged from this flood disaster. Do you have anyone you particularly favor?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lu laughed, "Hmm, the Second Princess."

The person who asked the question brightened, "You think the same as me!"

Among all the children of the Empress, the Second Princess has always been quite exceptional, and these Ministers knew that the Empress has always favored the Eldest Princess. However, when they learned that the Empress had named the Eldest Princess as the Crown Princess, they felt quite unwilling in their hearts.

The current situation at the Royal Court is very complicated.

Apart from those who are neutral, basically, everyone supports the Second Princess.

Zhang Lu now was somewhat eager to see the Second Princess accomplish some political feats!

That way, they would have grounds to persuade the Empress to change the Crown Princess.

Minister Li, looking down at the policy paper given by the Prime Minister, thought that if she took it over, everyone in the room would go crazy. With a heart full of complex emotions, she carried the documents and knocked on the door to enter...

**

Let’s not talk about the problem with the flood here.

On this side, after meeting with Ye Qiufeng, Qin Xuanyun went to see his aunt.

Ni Lan personally took Qin Xuanyun to Qin Youming’s residence, showing just how high Qin Xuanyun’s status was in the Empress’s heart.

The first male General of the female-led Wang Dynasty was said to have transcendent martial arts skills; barbarians would retreat three houses upon hearing his name. This man was a human meat grinder on the battlefield.

Along the way, countless Palace Maids and attendants raised their heads to look at Qin Xuanyun, only to recoil in fear upon meeting his dark, piercing eyes.

Indeed.

Full of fierce energy.

But...

That face was like a banished immortal.

Even the Palace Maids, accustomed to seeing the handsome men of the harem, couldn’t help but blush.

"General Qin, the Consort and the Second Princess are inside," Ni Lan, after notifying the people inside Qin Youming’s palace, respectfully bowed to Qin Xuanyun, "The Second Princess is grounded, so she cannot come out to meet the General. I hope the General will understand."

While speaking, Ni Lan lowered her head, revealing a slight smile.

Qin Xuanyun was Qin Youming’s nephew and related to Ye Mingxin as cousins; the Qin family’s status in the Imperial Capital was once very low and rose only because of Qin Xuanyun.

It can be said that the real power now in the hands of Qin Xuanyun was something even the Empress held in great trepidation, yet while she didn’t trust the Ye Family, she trusted Qin Xuanyun immensely.

The Second Princess of now was no longer the easily bullied figure of the past, and those who wished to offend her had to weigh their own status carefully.

If Qin Xuanyun knew that his Second Princess was unreasonably grounded by the Eldest Princess...

The Eldest Princess might have to shave off a layer of skin.

Ni Lan’s smile became even more apparent.
