Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

"After that, I went to my relatives' house every now and then, of course to see Xiaolan. I also made up some songs and sang them to her!"

"Alas! I guess Miss Xiaolan has fallen in love with someone else!"

Shangguan Mi's tone sounded somewhat puzzled when he spoke.

"Yes, that's how it was. Finally one day, I asked her if she liked me. She nodded, and then I made a very bold decision!"

"What decision?"

"Elope!" Liu Zhao felt that the story was almost complete.

"Elope? Are you guys eloping now?"

"Exactly!" Liu Zhao chuckled. "We've been out for three days, hiding here and there. If it weren't for Brother Shangguan, we'd still be out here getting drenched in the rain!"

"Is there no one chasing you over there?" Shangguan Mi was a little moved. Eloping is such a big thing. If he was caught, he would be beaten to death.

"Someone should be chasing us! But we're hiding, so we don't know!"

"Alas! Brother Liu is such a passionate and emotional person, haven't you ever thought about the consequences? If you were caught, you would be sentenced to death for seducing a decent woman!"

"It doesn't matter. I just want to be with Xiaolan!" Liu Zhao continued to make up stories.

"From ancient times to the present, the word 'love' has caused so much suffering in the world! Brother Liu's thoughts are quite reasonable. Life is only a few short decades long. If you can't be with the one you love, even if you are alive, you are nothing more than a walking corpse!"

"Yes, Brother Shangguan is right, so I'll just take it one step at a time!"

"So where are you going?"

"I have no plans. Anyway, the farther the better!"

"Brother Liu is a man of good nature. Don't worry. Stay with me and I will find a way to help you change your appearance!" Shangguan Mi suddenly said.

"Change appearance?" Liu Zhao was shocked. Does Shangguan Mi have such a powerful method?

"Yes, Brother Liu and I get along very well. We hit it off right away, so naturally I have to help you!"

"But, this is simply impossible!" Liu Zhao was a little confused at this time. Just making up a lie and leaving early tomorrow morning and never seeing each other again would be nothing but a joke.

Shangguan Mi is so enthusiastic that he wants to help me change my appearance. Who is he?

"Brother Liu, I naturally have my own way! Just stay here with peace of mind!"

"Well, thank you, Brother Shangguan!" Although Liu Zhao was confused, he really wanted to see Shangguan Mi's methods.

Even if it's exposed, what can we do?

"Drink, drink!" Shangguan Mi picked up the wine glass and toasted with Liu Zhao again.

At this time, the rain outside was very loud. After drinking the wine, Shangguan Mi pushed open the door and took a look.

"It's been raining for three hours now!"

"That's about right!" Liu Zhao also stood up and walked to the door.

A chill came over me.

"Something big is going to happen!" Shangguan Mi said.

"Big thing? What big thing?" Liu Zhao was a little confused.

"With such heavy rain and the river in such disrepair, flooding is inevitable!"

Shangguan Mi said with a frown.

"Flood?" Liu Zhao had only seen floods caused by heavy rain on TV.

"If this rain continues for another two hours, half of Hongnong City will be flooded!"

"So serious?" Liu Zhao was genuinely surprised at this moment.

"That's right, just as man-made disasters have subsided, natural disasters have struck again, bringing suffering to the people!"

Shangguan Mi sighed and walked back.

"If it really is a disaster, the imperial court will provide disaster relief!"

Liu Zhao said casually.

"Brother Liu is not in the government, so how can he know how dangerous the government is!" Shangguan Mi sighed.

"That's right!" Liu Zhao smiled awkwardly, "But I can't just ignore it!"

"The imperial court will naturally not ignore it. I'm afraid this natural and man-made disaster will eventually become an opportunity for officials to fight for power and profit!"

"Maybe!" Liu Zhao's heart sank. Indeed, there was a disaster and the court had to provide disaster relief. Who would be responsible?

I have met many senior officials in the court, whether it is Sima Bei or Liu Jun!

And what about the uncles in the royal family?

We will definitely fight to the death!

In the end, even if the imperial court gave relief money and food, every level would deduct a little bit from the imperial court, and by the time it reached the victims, there would be very little left.

Such things are very common in all dynasties.

Even if time and space change, human nature remains the same.

"Brother Liu, something big might happen tomorrow, so you'd better take a rest!" Shangguan Mi was also thinking about the problem at this time.

Liu Zhao also felt that it was time to think about some issues, which was exactly what he wanted.

He immediately said, "Brother Shangguan, rest early!"

"Young Master, please!" The maid has already started to lead the way.

After going through many twists and turns, I finally lay down in a guest room.

Liu Yan kept thinking about what he would do regarding this natural disaster.

What would I do if I became the emperor?

Is the struggle among officials in the court inevitable?

Who should be put in charge?

Is this also a political struggle?

It is also a huge chain of interests!

people!

money!

right!

How to weigh the pros and cons to control the situation, select the right person in charge, get things done, and truly distribute disaster relief funds and food to the victims?

Of course, take this opportunity to strengthen your team and consolidate your power!

So why not?

With power in hand, everything is easy to do!

Only then can you let go and do it!

I kept thinking about it, but I didn't feel sleepy at all, and the rain outside didn't seem to stop at all.

After a long time, I fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside, but the rain was still falling.

"Oh no! This must be a real flood!"

Liu Zhao jumped up and ran out.

"Sir, come this way!"

The maid was standing outside the door, and it seemed that she had been waiting here for a long time.

"Are you waiting for me here?"

"Yes, my master has instructed that you should go to dinner first when you wake up!"

"Thank you!"

Shangguan Mi was really thoughtful. Liu Zhao followed the maid and walked quickly to the living room.

"What about your son?"

Shangguan Mi is not in the living room!

"The young master went out this morning and hasn't returned yet! He instructed us to entertain you two!"

"Where's my girlfriend?"

"She's still sleeping!"

"Please help me call her over!" Liu Zhao was speechless. Chu Lan was really sleepy.

In fact, Chu Lan had gotten up early, but it was not convenient for her to go out, so she sat alone by the bed thinking about her problems.

As soon as the maid arrived, he hurriedly followed her to the living room.

"I thought you were still going to sleep!" Chu Lan felt a little embarrassed when she saw Liu Zhao sitting in the living room.

"It's okay, eat something!"

There are some steamed buns on the table.

"I don't want to eat!" Chu Lan really didn't want to eat.

"We're going out soon!" Liu Zhao couldn't help but think that Chu Lan didn't want to eat, so he stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.

Chu Lan had no choice but to start eating.

Liu Zhao had drunk a lot of wine and was very hungry at this time, so he wolfed down some steamed buns.

"Let's go!" After eating the steamed buns, Liu Zhao pulled Chu Lan up.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Sorry for disturbing you, we have to leave!"

"Our master has instructed us that the area outside is flooded. It's dangerous for you to go out. You can't go out!"

The maid was a little anxious.

"It's okay, let's go out and take a look!" Liu Zhao didn't say anything definite. If they really couldn't get out, they would have to come back.

If you say you won't come back, and you can't leave but want to come back, you will be socially disastrous.

The maid had no choice but to move aside, and Liu Zhao pulled Chu Lan out.
