Shangshu Ye probably didn't expect Ye Qing to fight back so bluntly. After a while, he said: "Song'er is an official in the court, and he has important positions, so he naturally can't get out of time to go to Jiangnan."

Ye Qing said mercilessly: "Before Your Majesty went south, he asked in the court if anyone was willing to go to Jiangnan to manage water and disaster relief. For both public and private, your concubine's son should come to Jiangnan. But is he here? On the contrary, brother, as soon as you got the news that you were swept away by the flood, he took the boys from the clan south. Father, I know that people's hearts are biased, but your hearts are really biased!"

Ye Shangshu's face turned red and white when Ye Qing said it. He defended: "He has been rebellious since childhood, and his tricky temper has learned from your mother. If I don't care about him, he will not know what he is like now. If the son doesn't teach him, his father will treat him more severely. How can he say it from your mother and daughter that he is biased? If he has half of Song'er's politeness and sensibility, he will be blessed by his ancestors."

Ye Qing took a deep breath. If she hadn't been worried about the original owner's father, she would have really wanted to beat the old man up. He could really step on her more irritable sentences.

"As the Minister of Rites, I favor my concubine and destroy my wife, and I don't know whether my legitimate wife or illegitimate wife has been separated. I have not been able to ginseng for so many years. That is the blessing of my ancestors! No matter how bad my mother is, it is your first wife! Father, you think about it yourself!"

After Ye Qing said this, he slammed the door and left.

Mo Zhu was not a talkative person. As soon as Ye Qing left, she didn't give Ye Shangshu half of her eyes and went out.

Shangshu Ye was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, "It's not so good! It's not so good!"

Seeing Ye Qing walking away, he felt a little sad.

First wife? For more than ten years, he has been quarreling with Mrs. Ye. In my impression, she is a tricky and unforgiving person. She was born in a family of military generals. She barely knew a few big words but didn’t understand the big truth. She was stupid and couldn’t educate her. She complained about this and that every day.

He no longer remembered what Mrs. Ye looked like when he got married with Mrs. Ye.

The scholar likes to add fragrance to the red sleeves.

Shangshu Ye took several concubines, but the most favored one was the maid who was originally serving in his study. He was later carried to become an concubine, Ye Jiansong's biological mother, Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou was sold to Ye’s mansion since she was a child. Because of her good looks, she was later chosen as a maid to serve in Ye Shangshu’s study.

At that time, Shangshu Ye was still a young boy, and the two of them fell in love over time.

In Ye Shangshu's eyes, Aunt Zhou has always been gentle and sensible, and she is full of talent. She never fights for her and is always respectful and polite to Mrs. Ye. Instead, she always makes trouble, which makes Ye Shangshu feel even more distressed.

Having a beautiful woman who can accompany you to drink under the moon and recite poems in the snow is what Shangshu Ye wants in his life.

He even felt that Aunt Zhou was more like a lady from a family than Mrs. Ye, but she was reincarnated but not well-reborn.

Mrs. Ye has a daughter who is the queen and a father who is the general. But Aunt Zhou has nothing, and there is no other place to rely on except herself.

Aunt Zhou’s two children are also well-behaved and sensible. They are good at everything, but they don’t have the status of being a legitimate child. Ye Shangshu felt that he was a kind father. Except for not being able to give them the status of being a legitimate child, he had to give them the best of everything else.

Only when these two children are better can Aunt Zhou live without looking at people's faces in the future.

When the Ye Taifu passed away, he became the pillar of the Ye family. He remembered what Ye Taifu said before his death: Don’t be able to stand up in everything, just practice the doctrine of the mean.

As the head of the family, he was also confused about how the Ye family should go in the future. It was also at that time that he suddenly realized that he had always felt that Taifu Ye was a mountain blocking his life, but when the mountain moved away, he seemed to see the end of his life.

Only Aunt Zhou can understand him. Compared to Mrs. Ye's vulgarity, Aunt Zhou's gentleness and considerateness are obviously more heart-warming than Mrs. Ye's vulgarity and ruthlessness.

Being the queen mother's sister is a strong person and she is determined to support the Ye family.

But there is only one concubine in the clan who has become a concubine. The Queen Mother always looks down on him. His legitimate daughter grew up in front of the Queen Mother and now she looks down on him.

Shangshu Ye felt a little distressed, and he asked himself that he had taught his legitimate son a lot.

Because Ye Jiansong is sensible and obedient, he also works in his studies, so he always treats Ye Jiansong with kindness. Ye Jiannan is a rebellious person who doesn't like studying, but instead learns to dance with guns and sticks. This is not a laughing stock among aristocratic families with scholarships?

He thought that being more harsh to Ye Jiannan would be able to change his bad temper, but he obviously did not change his mind like Mrs. Ye.

After being scolded after meeting for so many years, it almost became his instinctive reaction to seeing Ye Jiannan.

Ye Shangshu held his hands behind his back and sighed heavily.

He hopes that his children can have a friendly and blind date, but the legitimate child always cannot tolerate the illegitimate child.

The legitimate daughter is the queen and does not need his protection. The legitimate son has a sister who is the queen and the aunt who is the queen. Even if he has been wandering all his life, he will not have to worry about food and clothing. Only his concubine son and daughter, if he does not protect him, they will not be able to live in this life.

Shangshu Ye felt that no one could understand his suffering.

Ye Qing returned to his residence and took two sips of tea. The depression in his heart subsided.

Mo Zhu advised: "Miss, don't be angry. What should I do if I get angry and my body is so angry?"

Ye Qing rubbed his eyebrows and replied: "I'm not angry."

She only thought that Shangshu Ye was too unreasonable. What was the bad luck of the original owner and Ye Jiannan, so she got such a strange father.

"Boom" a muffled thunder exploded, and heavy rain poured down outside the window.

The wind was blowing, and even raindrops as big as beans were blown to the window.

Both the master and the servant were divided by the heavy rain.

Mo Zhu said worriedly: "The rain is too strong."

"Is there any news from Your Majesty?" Ye Qing asked.

"No one has sent the message back yet." Mo Zhu replied.

Ye Qing didn't ask any more questions, his eyes fell on the booklet drawings placed by Mo Zhu on the tables over there, and ordered: "Take all the books and maps here."

The most important thing now is how to avoid the second flood.

Ye Qing was not sure. If the heavy rain kept falling like this, it would take time to dig rivers and build canals, and I don’t know if it would be too late.

Mo Zhu could read and write, and knew that these books were recorded in Jiangnan water conservancy. She was puzzled and gave all the books to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing developed a bad habit when she was working before. As long as she didn't involve drawings and simply looked up documents and materials, she liked to hold her computer and lie on the bed.

She spread several maps on the Arhat bed, first looked at the general trend of the Jiangnan River on the large map, then looked at several floods, and then compared the detailed map river terrain and roughly circled several places.

I then looked through the management methods of these rivers from those books.

The problem of rivers in Jiangnan has existed since the previous dynasty. In the early years, officials sent by the court to manage the floods and blocked them and built dams to prevent floods. However, during the rainy season, the rivers rose, and the dams were basically destroyed by floods, and the floods were still spreading everywhere.

Later, an official from the court proposed to build a reservoir to store water and prevent floods.

This method is useful. During the rainy season, the reservoir accumulates a large amount of rainwater, so that the water will not flow into the river, causing floods; during the dry season, the reservoir will not dry up.

However, the construction technology of this period is limited after all, and the reservoir needs regular maintenance. The imperial court allocated huge sums of money every year to rebuild the gate dam, for fear that the reservoir will not be able to withstand the floods during the rainy season in the coming year and cause major disasters.

The Jiangnan water damage this time was caused by the flood.

Now there is no reservoir storage in the upper reaches of the Bian River. If the heavy rainstorm continues in the past few days, the water level of the Bian River will rise, and it will be a foregone conclusion.

After understanding the general, Ye Qing got up and took the map to the table and drew several artificial river lines to open canals to share the water.

But as soon as this sketch is confirmed, Ye Qing knew that this was an impossible task.

This was in ancient times. Only by digging rivers and canals by manpower, they may not be able to be dug well until next year.

In the end, she had to abandon this seemingly perfect plan.

From time to time, lightning flashed into the house, and the thunder sounded outside the window, and Ye Qing's heart also became heavier. I don't know when the rain will stop.

"Empress! Your Majesty is back!"

Wen Zhu's surprise call came from outside.

Now that Xiao Jue's identity has been exposed, he is in etiquette, and Ye Qing has to go over to welcome him no matter what.

She tied her cloak and took Mo Zhu out.

It rains heavily outside and winds too.

Even if I was still standing in the corridor, raindrops floated in.

More than an inch of water had accumulated on the bluestone floor in the courtyard, and a small-leafed red sandalwood plant was blown by the wind, making the leaves turn over.

The rainwater gathered on the ditch tiles formed a stream of water droplets pouring down from the corners of the eaves, and a splash of water fell into the water in the yard splashed.

"Slide on the ground, be careful." Mo Zhu supported Ye Qing, while Wen Zhu held an umbrella aside.

"Where is King An's army?" Ye Qing asked anxiously when he knew his current situation.

Mo Zhu had been staying in the house with her, not knowing the situation outside, Wen Zhu replied: "The rain was too heavy, and King An's army did not dare to cross the river, so they retreated to Panyun Peak to camp."

Panyun Peak has a high terrain, and King An is probably afraid of another flood.

"I guess His Majesty has sent a message back to the court. He only hopes that the reinforcements of the court will arrive in Jiangnan before the heavy rain stops." Ye Qing suddenly felt a little moved by the rain.

Wen Zhu's expression was a little strange, she said, "The 80,000 troops of the imperial court are stationed outside Lujiang City."

Ye Qing sprained his feet, and if he hadn't been supported by Mo Zhu, he would have almost fallen.

Eight...Eighty thousand army! The Dog Emperor hid deep enough.

Such a large-scale army marched into Jiangnan, but it was not discovered by King An?

She speeded up and had a lot of questions to question the dog emperor.

In the raindrops flying all over the sky, on the other end of the corridor, a group of people gradually appeared in Ye Qing's sight.

The man in the leader had a golden crown ink and a dragon spring sword on his waist. Perhaps because he had just come down from the battlefield, he was full of oppression.

Seeing Ye Qing from afar, Xiao Jue paused slightly and ordered something to the person behind him. The group of people stayed there, and he walked towards this side with great strides.

"How did it come out if it rains so heavily?" When Xiao Jue walked in front of her, he pushed a strand of hair behind her ears, and his thick fingertips touched Ye Qing's cheeks. I wonder if the wind was too cold today, Ye Qing felt a little trembling all over her body.

She bowed her knees and saluted Xiao Jue: "I will come out to see if your Majesty is back."

Xiao Jue curled his lips and smiled slightly. His face, which was still as cold as ice the moment before, had a little tenderness overflowed at this moment. He helped her up with his own hands: "This is outside the palace, there is no need to be too polite."

Ye Qing stood up and noticed that the person in charge was not Wang Jing, but a gray-haired veteran. The veteran was wearing armor, with an old face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle and a falcon. His majesty was so great that people dare not ignore it.

"Your Majesty is you going to talk about official affairs?" Ye Qing looked over there and found that they were all ministers who were disgusted. "We have brought the army to Jiangnan this time?"
