No one has been able to completely solve the problems of the Chu River for so many years, and she said she actually has a solution?

Is he trying to take advantage of the opportunity to show off and get himself an official position?

Of course, if she could really solve the problem of the Chu River, she would ask to be a female official, and none of the officials present would dare to stop her. After all, they had no way to solve the problem of floods in the Chu River every year due to flooding.

The emperor was also stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked, "Yang Zhanying, are you sure you can solve Chu He's problem?"

"If you dare to deceive me, you will lose your head!"

Yang Zhanying looked at Qin Wu.

Qin Wu nodded slightly at her.

She believed that Qin Wu would never harm her. Yang Zhanying responded loudly, "Yes, Your Majesty. I can solve Chu He's problem."

After a pause, she added, "But the premise is that I must have the power to take charge and make the decision. This matter must be completely handed over to me to resolve."

He didn't say that he wanted to be an official, but he wanted power, which was equivalent to asking the emperor for an official position.

...

...

The emperor looked at Yang Zhanying with a serious look and did not respond to her for a while.

Prime Minister Qin's face suddenly darkened. What did the Yang family want to do? Didn't he know that his son was in charge of the Chu River embankment?

What does it mean that Yang Zhanying comes out to stir up trouble? Do you really think that their generations of warriors have the intelligence to solve the problem of the collapse of the Chu River dam?

"Your Majesty, please think twice. The Yang family is a family of warriors. How can they have the brains to solve such a difficult problem? Why are you asking for power and official positions before you even come up with a solution?"

"Could it be that Duke Yang has selfish motives and wants to use this method to get his daughter to serve as an official in the court? After all, the Chuhe issue has not been resolved for so many years. Duke Yang will delay and find an excuse to let this matter go..."

"Your Majesty, I think Duke Yang wants to use this opportunity to get his granddaughter to serve as an official in the court. Please do not believe what Yang Zhanying says."

Duke Yang's face darkened, he stood up and knelt on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, I do have a selfish desire to let my granddaughter become a female general and fight on the battlefield."

"But she said she could serve the country and solve the problem of the Chu River dam. I only know about it now, and she didn't tell me."

"Your Majesty, our Yang family is loyal to the emperor and the country, and heaven and earth can bear witness to this! No matter if it is a man or a woman of the Yang family, as long as they can contribute to the Great Zhou, they will sacrifice their lives without any complaints."

"I feel very sad. My granddaughter just wants to serve the emperor. Qin Sujin can't solve the problem of the collapse of the Chu River dam. My granddaughter wanted to help, but she was slandered by everyone.

Even though she wants to be a female general, she won’t joke about her own life. Your Majesty, please understand…”

"That's right, Your Majesty. Although Yang Zhanying is a woman, if she can solve Chu He's current predicament, why not let her handle it..." The generals advised.

"Heh." Qin Yinnuan couldn't help but sneer, and looked directly at Yang Zhanying, "Excuse me, Miss Yang, have you been to Chuhe? Do you know what Chuhe's current situation is? Just tell me if you have a way to change Chuhe's predicament?"

"My eldest brother hasn't come back yet. How do you know that my eldest brother can't solve Chu He's problem?"

Yang Zhanying met Qin Yinnuan's gaze and did not flinch. "Don't worry about whether I have been to Chuhe or not. As long as I can solve the problem of Chuhe's annual floods, that's enough."

Immediately, Yang Zhanying continued to say to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that if I cannot solve Chu He's problem, I will die as a token of my guilt!"

The emperor stared at Yang Zhanying for a while before saying, "You have a way to dredge the Chu River. You can tell me first and let me hear if it is feasible. After all, you are a woman and don't know how to dredge rivers. I can't easily trust your ability."

"Besides, Qin Sujin hasn't come back yet. I have to wait for him to report the situation in Chuhe River before I can decide whether to replace him with someone else to manage the river problem in Chuhe River."

"Your Majesty, I don't want to take credit for the governance of the Chu River. If I want to talk, I can only talk to Your Majesty. If the governance method is leaked and someone wants to harm me, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend myself."

"In that case, let's not discuss this matter for now. Let's enjoy today's banquet."

The emperor waved his hand, ending all conversation.

The emperor did not really trust what Yang Zhanying said. He also believed that the Yang family was now small in number and that Duke Yang intended to let his granddaughter enter the officialdom to protect the interests of the Yang family.

Besides, Qin Sujin is very capable, there is no way he can't solve even the slightest problem with the Chu River embankment.

Originally, he had allowed them to make whatever suggestions they wanted today, and the emperor didn't take them to heart at all.

Yang Zhanying frowned and felt very disappointed. She thought the emperor would agree to let her go.

Qin Wu helped Yang Zhanying up from the ground.

"The emperor did not agree." Yang Zhanying said to Qin Wu in a gloomy tone, and the sadness in his heart was written all over his face.

Qin Wu smiled and comforted, "That only means that now is not the right time. When the emperor gets anxious, he will naturally let you handle this matter."

Anyway, she had found the person who would manage the Chu River in advance.

Qin Sujin had no idea about river management. After waiting for a while, he would naturally come back to ask the emperor for forgiveness.

Yang Zhanying has already pointed out the problem of managing the Chu River. When the emperor can't find anyone, he will naturally think of Yang Zhanying first.

Today, Qin Wu just wanted Yang Zhanying to say these words first.

"Okay." Yang Zhanying returned to his seat in a daze.

She was also impatient, and she thought that if she said that she could manage the river, the emperor would immediately give her the task. That would be great.

Having accomplished something, she could naturally ask the emperor to cancel her engagement with the second prince.

She didn't want to be used by Concubine Yun...

If I hadn't come back, she would have stayed at the frontier, and wouldn't have to fight for the interests of the palace and involve her life events.

When Qin Yinnuan and Qin Wu passed by, she whispered to Qin Wu coldly, "Qin Wu, don't waste your efforts. Even if you want to make achievements, you are not as good as me."

"After all, I have made several contributions. This time, the supplies I collected in Northern Liao helped King Rui win the battle. The emperor will reward me. If you know what's good for you, don't come out and embarrass yourself."

In Qin Yinnuan's eyes, Yang Zhanying's behavior seemed to indicate that Qin Wu and she also wanted to copy her path, make meritorious deeds, and be rewarded by the emperor so that they could gain power.

Qin Yinnuan was very disdainful and contemptuous of them.

Qin Wu did not respond to her, but just gave her a look of ignoring her and returned to her seat.

Being ignored, Qin Yinnuan gritted her teeth lightly, then snorted coldly, why pretend to be calm!

When the emperor rewards her later, let Qin Wu, that bitch, be envious and jealous!

If you want to be better than her, forget it!

The opportunity to remonstrate was over, the music had just started, and the dancer was about to do the palm dance when a palace servant came hurriedly to report, interrupting the atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, something has happened. Lord Qin has been poisoned and blinded. He is at the gate of the palace. Lord Yu requests that Your Majesty ask the imperial physician to help treat Lord Qin."
