After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

Chapter 460 The 3rd Prince of Chu State smiled in his heart

Seeing that everything was going well, the doctor from the Du Shui Si Department relaxed a little.

Just at this moment, he heard the two people's voices.

Yuan Ruan: [How magnificent! As expected of a doctor from the Water Conservancy Department, he can really create a flood and dig a canal.]

System: [Yes, this water directly washed away a lot of gravel, saving a lot of manpower for transportation...]

The doctor of the Dushui Division listened to the various advantages mentioned by the system, and felt happy and helpless, because although the result was very good, it was highly accidental. But in the end, happiness prevailed.

He immediately ordered someone to deliver the good news back to the capital at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

The doctor of the Du Shui Si had just asked someone to deliver a letter when he suddenly thought of the three letters he had sent out four hours ago, two hours ago, and one hour ago.

The doctor of the Du Shuisi hurriedly instructed the messenger to speed up and try to catch up with the person who delivered the news before, or at least catch up with the last letter, otherwise it would be too much of a shock to the court.

……

Two days later, the atmosphere in the Daxia court was eerie.

Because when the flood messenger came to report the situation, the third prince of Chu, who came as a special envoy, happened to be in the court.

So he heard with his own ears that a certain county magistrate in Daxia, for his own benefit, deliberately concealed the damage to the dam and did not report it, so that now most areas in the north are in danger of collapse.

He also heard with his own ears that because the main river was flooding wildly, at least dozens of counties in the northern part of Daxia, including the former Xiongnu grasslands and the former towns of the State of Chen, were affected by the disaster. If it was not controlled well, the entire northern region would be plunged into floods.

He also saw with his own eyes how shocked and anxious the officials of the Great Xia court were when they learned that Concubine Rong, the Third Prince, and the Great Xia Imperial Preceptor would remain in the flood-stricken area. Several young officials even came forward to petition to bring the Imperial Preceptor and his entourage back safely.

He even saw several elderly superiors angrily scolding the Shao Zhanshi, the Grand Secretary and others for being unreliable, and said that they should forcibly tie up the Imperial Master and his party and sue them for dereliction of duty.

The third prince of Chu laughed out loud.

He originally thought that coming to Xia Kingdom was a thankless task, but now it seems that Xia Kingdom is the blessed land for his revival. Look, as soon as he came to Xia Kingdom, Xia Kingdom was in trouble. When this news is passed back, his father will definitely reward him.

At this time, another express letter from eight hundred miles away flew over.

The messenger rushed over holding the carrier pigeon, looked at the third prince of Chu hesitantly, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

The Emperor of Xia glanced at the messenger. The previous messenger was too reckless, so there was no need to hide anything now.

The emperor said: "Say."

The messenger no longer hesitated and hurriedly bowed, his voice still trembling: "Your Majesty, the dam has collapsed."

The emperor tightened his fingers: "When?"

The messenger hurriedly said, "According to the distance traveled, yes, it was at the hour of Yin the day before."

The court officials were in an uproar, unable to hide the ugly expressions on their faces.

The third prince of Chu State laughed heartily, but an expression of compassion appeared on his face.

At this time, the Minister of War stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty. I beg you to dispatch the mighty troops of the capital to Beidi Town... to provide disaster relief."

The third prince of Chu State sneered in his heart. What disaster relief? They wanted to suppress the Xiongnu people in the north and the people of Chen State! They were afraid that they would take advantage of the disaster to cause trouble.

At this time, the Minister of Revenue also stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty. I object. The national treasury currently has spare capacity, but the granaries are already more than half empty. If..." Taking into account the presence of outsiders, the Minister of Revenue swallowed back his words about sending out a large army at this time, fearing that the granaries would be in trouble next year.

But most of those who could attend the court were smart people, and they could understand what the Minister of Revenue had not said.
