How can it be different?
[The upper reaches are stubborn and self-righteous, looking down on talented people, thinking they have mastered everything...]
[When the flood comes, throw away your weapons and run faster than anyone else! ]
[The fertile fields and houses downstream are the hard work of several generations. Have they ever taken it to heart? ]
[Officials down the river, if they encounter someone who is afraid of death, they will pack up their belongings and flee with their families! ]
[Afterwards, my father ordered a retrospective investigation and held accountable. All those officials who abandoned the city were arrested and held accountable...]
[And those who did not abandon the city and flee, can they wait for the fourth candidate to explain? ]
[They led the way, either guarding the river with the workers, or opening the granaries to release grain, or checking the casualties among the people...]
[And such officials will not have a good ending. ]
[They are downstream, destined to be affected by the flood, and are bound to suffer casualties. If they do something, they will definitely be able to catch the mistake...]
[Such a person can see the innocent heart of the fourth candidate...]
[Can they watch him get implicated? It's like watching themselves when they were just starting out?]
[So, there was no time to explain. Although, they did not let the candidates participate...]
[But definitely treat him with courtesy and have someone take him to a safe place...]
So, where are these officials now?
[In jail! ]
Jun Baozhu was furious after listening to the system's explanation.
[Last year, as soon as the flood subsided, you couldn’t wait to submit a thick list of names...]
[Those who do nothing upstream and just sit back and wait for death, while those who are not at the top, those who work hard downstream...]
【Not one is left behind! 】
[You guys! You guys are really capable! ]
[I know, you are helping your father to share his worries...]
[If I didn't know, I would think you guys were conspiring to kill me together! ]
Upon hearing this, the ministers nodded their heads even more, and the hall fell into complete silence.
The emperor's face turned ashen.
Although he found out the truth, it was not as detailed as what his daughter revealed.
Last year, all officials spoke in unison, dumping all the blame on lower-level officials...
But in his opinion, the officials' words and deeds were not wrong. Moreover, when floods occurred everywhere, they tried their best to save the people. It was not because they were incapable, nor was it because they did nothing...
Any other official from upstream would only do worse and slip away faster...
But they also tried to put pressure on the emperor in the court to deal with him severely and quickly to appease the public anger...
However, the emperor still withstood the pressure and severely punished officials who were definitely problematic for major issues such as grain and disaster relief silver...
Although these officials were accused of crimes by others, the emperor only temporarily agreed to put them in jail, but he had not yet made any decisions...
【More than four hundred days! 】
【They were locked up for more than a year! 】
[At the beginning, I ran from upstream to downstream with my own strength, hoping to do my best to delay the situation...]
[Do you want to see what I have become after being let down by you? ]
[You have turned floods into a business, and the imperial examinations have become a ticket to fame and fortune. What is the future for these talented and virtuous students? ]
[Have you left them a way to survive? ]
[If it weren’t for the emperor’s special examination, if it weren’t for the prince’s impartiality, he wouldn’t be standing here today...]
[Even in the future, it will be difficult for you to appear in front of the emperor. You...]
[Damn it! ]
This should be the most serious words Jun Baozhu has said in her heart since she traveled through time.
You can tell that the childish voice is filled with great anger.
The emperor and the prince felt heartbroken when they heard this.
Prince Rui's expression also became more serious than ever before.
[Do you know how much he can do by himself? ]
[How many lives can be saved by the flood control experience accumulated by their family over generations? ]
How much loss can be recovered?
After the voice calmed down, Jun Baozhu changed his mind, then turned around and said to the emperor:
[Father, you can try to ask this candidate other questions...]
[His original intention was repeatedly betrayed. Why didn’t he give up and still take the Enke exam...]
[Isn't he afraid of being eliminated again? Even though he knows his own level very well.]
