The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please speak directly. If you try to be so evasive, I'll think you're trying to bury me."

Even though Song Qingci was prepared to be tricked, he didn't expect the trap to be so deep.

Is it necessary to dig a mass grave just to bury her?!

I’m really convinced!

"Your Majesty, if I heard correctly just now, you intend for my husband and I to go to Jiangnan to deal with the flood?"

Li Jianguo nodded.

"That's what I mean."

I have just said so much in a disjointed manner, and the final main idea is actually just this sentence.

"Your Majesty! Do you think this is reasonable?"

People really laugh when they are speechless.

"Shan Li is just a general. And now he is in poor health. He has lost all his internal strength and can't use his martial arts at all. And I..."

Song Qingci pointed at himself and said, "Although I'm a science student, I don't know anything about water conservancy! I'm going to Jiangnan to control floods?! Do you think these words fit together?"

"What's more, Jiangnan is a land of officials and wealthy businessmen with deep connections. The water there is even deeper than that of Peach Blossom Pool. If I really went there, they would definitely drown me!"

Jiangnan is a prosperous place, but the water is also deep.

Song Qingci didn't want to do anything dangerous when he was in such a bad condition.

I don’t want to involve Dan Li in this either.

"I know the water is deep and the situation is complicated over there, so I want you to go!"

Now that things had come to this, Li Jianguo stopped hiding anything and spoke frankly.

"The floods in Jiangnan haven't been going on for just one or two days, let alone one or two years. I've sent many people to Jiangnan before. However, those ministers either simply disappeared, or returned home dejected without finding anything."

"Before, Jiangnan and the imperial court were able to maintain a delicate balance. However, since the opening of the Yanchen Market, things have been a little different in Jiangnan. To be honest, I sent someone to Jiangnan a few months ago. However, that person has not been found alive or dead yet."

"So, Your Majesty, what you're saying is that flood control is just a superficial matter, and that cleaning up the entire Jiangnan bureaucracy is the real mission?!"

Li Jianguo nodded seriously.

He can allow Jiangnan to have his own little thoughts, but these little thoughts must never hinder the overall development of Dachen.

Flood control was just an excuse. What he really wanted was to bring the entire Jiangnan region back under the control of imperial power.

All the land in the world is the land of the king; the shores of the land are all the ministers of the king.

There can't be a small court under the wings of Dachen.

If you want to govern Dachen well, this is something that must be done.

Other people's methods would be discounted in a place like Jiangnan. Only Aunt Song had the means, the courage, and the ability.

He believed that only she could handle this matter.

It is now early April, and there are still about two months until the annual flood season begins.

If time wasn't tight and the task wasn't heavy, he would have wanted to let the couple have more rest.

But there is no other way now.

Song Qingci and Shan Li looked at each other.

Shan Li's eyes were full of a look that made her feel at ease.

He has found some patterns.

When Your Majesty calls himself "I", he is speaking and acting as a friend. But when he calls himself "I", he is speaking and acting as a king.

Now that things have come to this.

There seems to be no other way except to accept the order and express gratitude.

"Aci and I will obey your order and set out for Jiangnan tomorrow."

There are some things that Aci is not easy to say, so let him come.
