"It's okay, mother. As long as you're healthy, I won't be angry. But will it affect big brother's studies? It took a lot of effort to get him into the Imperial College, so he should study harder."
Gu Changan smiled gently, and he also wanted to come out with Gu Yunni.
This matter is not that dangerous, and they won't cause any trouble if they come.
"It's okay, His Majesty gave me a holiday, and I'll have a teacher to make up for it when I get back, so don't worry."
"That's good! Then stop standing outside the door and come in. You've had a bumpy ride, so you need to rest up. After you've rested up, I'll take you out to see the scenery."
Gu Yunni was immediately surprised, but she looked at the Imperial Master with a reproachful look.
He clearly knew it in advance, but he didn't tell me!
The Imperial Master waved his hands desperately, he really didn’t know!
It was obvious that His Majesty was hiding it too secretly, and he was not following the team, so how could he know?
After they had rested, Gu Yunni took them around the city for a few days before officially dealing with water conservancy management matters.
During this period, Sheng Mingyu was also by his side. With his mother-in-law and elder brother here, he certainly had to behave more sensibly.
Several ministers had been waiting impatiently in the mansion for a long time, but they did not dare to show it in front of Sheng Mingyu and could only grumble behind his back.
They said Sheng Mingyu was unreliable, and when they returned to Kyoto, they would definitely sue him.
Although they can't say anything on the surface, they can still give a few hints.
"We thought His Royal Highness would spend some time wandering around the city. You really haven't been to Jiangnan before, so you're curious about it. But it's actually not much different from Kyoto."
"Yes, I thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cared about the people, but it seems he is just like that."
Sheng Mingyu didn't say anything, but Gu Yunni was not polite and chattered back.
"What? I remember that I didn't lock the door for you gentlemen these days, right? You can go out for a walk. You have all dealt with floods in Jiangnan before, so you know when is the right time. There is at least another half month left. Do you think you want to take action now? If there is any accident, you will handle it?"
Her mouth was like a machine gun, never stopping, making their heads hurt.
In the past, I only knew that Sheng Mingyu was unwilling to care about these trivial matters, but I forgot that there was a prince's wife next to her.
"Princess, calm down. That's not what we meant. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with you. You are just an accompanying family member."
"Yes, since His Royal Highness is ready, let's go to the dam together. The Crown Princess will stay in the mansion and handle some of the affairs there."
They were also a little angry. Although they couldn't scold Gu Yunni, they could still try to trip her up behind her back.
Who doesn't know that Gu Yunni loves to be in the spotlight? Then cut off her opportunity.
Sheng Mingyu had been silent until Gu Yunni was mentioned, then he spoke.
He doesn't care about his reputation, but if you dare to provoke Gu Yunni, don't blame him for being rude.
"Have you all forgotten that I am present? You all address me as your prince, but you never leave any questions unanswered. His Majesty has ordered me to take the princess with him to deal with the floods in Jiangnan. There is a secret decree. Would you like to see it? If you don't allow the princess to go, you will be disobeying the decree!"
With just a few words, Sheng Mingyu put a huge hat on someone.
Several people were sweating profusely. No matter what they said, it was not right, so they had to quickly move on from the topic.
"Yes, yes, I know I'm wrong. Why don't we hurry to the river and stop wasting time here?"
"Yes, yes! Let's go."
Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni are the most difficult to deal with, so it’s better to stay away from them in the future.
They had not been on the road for long when the Imperial Master also came to check on the condition of the dam.
He couldn't help but complain after reading it. It was obviously not a big deal, but they made it sound like a huge disaster. They were really greedy for money.
"My Lords, you are the most experienced in managing floods in Jiangnan. Why don't you tell me if there are any other ways to save money? I don't want to reinforce the dam, but it can at least hold out for another year. We can come back next year."
Sheng Mingyu did not hide the fact that he and Gu Yunni had already discussed how to deal with this incident and try to save as much money as possible.
"No! Your Highness, please stop joking. You don't understand the Jiangnan Dam, but we do. It really needs to be reinforced. If it's not reinforced, what will we do if a flood occurs?"
"Yes, you are the Crown Prince and you don't have to bear the consequences, but we are just ordinary ministers. If an accident really happens, I'm afraid we will have to bear the brunt of it. Please consider us, Your Highness!"
Their eyes widened in shock. If they didn't build the dam, where would they get the money from?
Coming all this way to help Sheng Mingyu, isn't it just to make more money?
"Yes! This lord is right. Your Highness should stop being so willful, or we will have to report this to His Majesty! This is the annual rule, why did Your Highness change it so arbitrarily?"
They were afraid that Sheng Mingyu would act willfully, so they had to bring the emperor out as well. Only the emperor could make the decision on this matter.
This is the case every year, and they just don’t believe that Sheng Mingyu is really so bold.
"Alright! Since everyone has said so, then tell us how it should be built. First, tell me your experience. This year, I am in charge of this matter, so I must learn it. Otherwise, if it gets to His Majesty's ears, it will be of no benefit to you."
Sheng Mingyu was well prepared and was not surprised.
It would be strange if they could easily let go of these benefits.
Moreover, he had already taken a look among these ministers. There were Du Changming's people, the Prime Minister's people, and a few of the Third Prince's people. It was really a mixed bag.
"this……"
When this matter was mentioned, they looked at each other in confusion.
This was indeed the imperial decree from His Majesty, but they were not convinced that this skill should be handed over to Sheng Mingyu.
I don't know what His Majesty means. Is it really Sheng Mingyu's ability to let them come here?
"Everyone, don't forget why you're here. If it weren't for the gentlemen arguing for your rights in court, you wouldn't be able to come here at all. Either cooperate obediently or return to Kyoto as soon as possible."
Sheng Mingyu's face was cold, he was really too greedy!
"Yes, everyone, please consider why you are here. If you are unwilling to hand over even this small matter, this national teacher can also write a letter to His Majesty."
The people who were looking towards Sheng Mingyu could see what these ministers meant.
The difficulty lies in the fact that no one under the Second Prince has ever built water conservancy projects, otherwise they would have come to help a long time ago and would not be completely helpless.
The adults looked at each other and agreed with embarrassment.
"Alright, since the Grand Master has said so, that's all we can do."
"Yes, but we just want His Royal Highness to understand that it's not easy for us either."
Several people spoke well of the Imperial Master, leaving Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni aside.
