When Tu Shiyu returned from the south with his work on flood control, he gained more trust and confidence in the hearts of the people.
In addition, a strange story has been circulating among the people of the imperial city.
Some families bought fish from fishmongers and found something engraved on cloth in the belly of the fish: "God bless Zhuang Yi, there is only this time king."
The font above is not traditional Chinese, but simplified Chinese.
It’s magical to them.
One family was very familiar with an official in the imperial court, so they told the official about this.
It just so happened that the official supported Tu Shiyu. He first had the news suppressed, and then sent someone with cloth to find the fishmonger. The fishmonger was confused and said that these fish were freshly caught from the Jue Lake and sold immediately.
When the people who came to ask the question heard that the water from the strange lake was the source of water that was introduced into the imperial palace, and that King Zi was now controlling the water, and that there was cloth in the belly of the fish, could it be that this was God's way of thanking King Zi for saving people's lives, and was using the fish to inform the people that King Zi was a good monarch in the future?
As soon as the news came out, many people knew about the oracle hidden in the fish's belly, and the people were talking about it. When Tu Shiyu came back, his men couldn't suppress the news, and the discussion became more widespread and reached the ears of the princes.
After Tu Shiyu learned about this, he immediately went to find Lin Wannian.
Lin was doing well in his later years, sitting by the pavilion, enjoying being fed by his beautiful maid, massaging his legs, and appreciating the scene of the falling ginkgo leaves in late autumn.
Tu Shiyu walked up to him and said, "Lin Late Years."
When the maids saw Tu Shiyu, they immediately put down their work, bowed to him and called out, "Your Majesty."
"You go down."
"yes."
After Tu Shiyu sent the maid away, he sat next to Lin Wannian.
Lin closed his loose collar, leaned his head against the column, and asked lazily, "What do you want from me?"
Tu Shiyu poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "Did you do the paper hiding in the fish's belly?"
"I did it."
Lin admitted it honestly in his later years.
Tu Shiyu took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve, placed it on the stone table, and said unhappily, "I thought you would quibble for a while."
Lin Lwannian glanced at it and vaguely saw simplified Chinese characters written on it.
No one else can write it except him, a modern man.
Of course, after Tu Shiyu lived in the Source World, he used simplified Chinese characters. He could understand it and guess that the only person who did this was Lin Wannian.
"Being brave enough to do and take responsibility will only make your throne more like a response to divine oracle, so that rebellion will be natural and you won't be looked down upon by those scholars."
History is written by the victors, but after the victors die, their deeds are recorded by people around them or by ordinary people who can write.
As an emperor, who would like to be named a rebel and go down in history? What is more important is to convince the people.
Tu Shiyu nodded: "Thank you. The latest victory news came from the border. Wei Yuwen led his soldiers to the Hu people's border. Within ten days, they will be able to capture the Hu people's area."
"Well, that's good."
"Thanks for the weapon you designed. By the way, what do you want when the time comes?"
"I want to be a marquis, and I want Lin Xiang and his wife to die."
"Okay." Tu Shiyu agreed. He looked at Lin Wannian and said, "You don't give me the feeling that you are gay."
It is said that after becoming gay, everyone has their own gay expression and can tell the orientation of the people around them.
Tu Shiyu found out that Lin's lover in his later years was a man when he overheard them discussing it unintentionally.
"Yeah?"
Lin Wannian did not answer directly, but asked back.
Tu Shiyu's expression became even more complicated. He was very curious about what kind of person Lin's lover in his later years was.
Half a month later.
The border sent a good news that Zhuang Yiguo had defeated the Hu people, occupied their territory, and changed the capital of the Hu people into a Hu county, killing all those who refused to surrender.
By the time they learned the news, the army was already on the way to the imperial city.
It took Ye Xuan some time to deal with his own affairs. He naturally became the crown prince of Southeast Kingdom. However, his affairs in Zhuangyi Kingdom were not finished yet when he learned that Zhuangyi Kingdom defeated Hu Kingdom and recovered it as a county.
The original plan of using the Hu people to disrupt Zhuang Yi State did not work, so the only option was to take the route of friendly exchanges.
So, as the crown prince, he brought envoys and princesses to visit the State of Zhuangyi on the pretext of friendly exchanges between the two countries.
At this time, the people in the southeast are either traitors or thieves.
Unfortunately, the old emperor had a ruddy complexion due to the successful war, so he hosted the prince of the southeastern country with a grand banquet.
