The intrusion of sea water this time brought immeasurable losses to Da Qin. Fortunately, Mr. Feng stabilized the government and the opposition like a needle that stabilizes the sea.

He appointed people on their merits and assigned officials headed by Mr. Li, the Minister of Punishment, to go to disaster relief.

He has excellent political skills and ability to govern the world. No one in the government or the public dares to disobey him. He is thorough in everything he does and does not miss any important matter.

This government will not cause trouble at this time.

Over in Liangzhou, Sanmeng and Bai Li cooperated, using the tokens from Prince Qi's Palace and Princess Chang's Palace to order the refugees to work for relief, and collect all the jade and wheat they planted into the Bai family's granary to save the refugees for the winter. Enough food.

On the Yangzhou side, Shi Xieyun, the governor of Prince Qi, led the local officials to start diversion of water. With the support of Nangong Suisui and the skills of blacksmith Zhang Jin, the water diversion team was well-equipped and the progress was smooth.

After this natural disaster, anyone with a discerning eye will find that those who work hard for the people are basically inseparable from Prince Qi's palace.

At this time, Emperor Jiayou was not involved in the disaster relief at all. He was still thinking about the pirates in Yangzhou who had not been wiped out and were having troubles day and night. However, he did not know that those pirates had been reduced to pieces and were hiding in a place where he could not find them. place.

Emperor Jiayou is so angry!

For a moment, the joy brought to him by King Lian Qi's serious injury and disappearance was diluted.

"You bastard! What are you doing for food? You're just a loser! You're a loser!"

On this day, Emperor Jiayou, who had just returned to the capital, was furious because there was no response from the people sent out to investigate the pirates.

He mobilized his troops to fight the pirates personally, but instead of wiping out all the pirates, he almost got caught in them. He felt that he could not lose face, and his idea of ​​leaving a name in history was shattered. He became extremely restless.

So he sent several groups of people out one after another, but the thunder was loud and the rain was light, and he couldn't make a name for himself. This made his temperament become much more violent.

He couldn't believe anyone and felt that everyone wanted to harm him. Even if there was silence in Chengming Palace, he would feel an undercurrent surging.

In addition, the injury from the last time he fell into the water had not yet healed, and he would feel tightness and pain in his chest from time to time. The physical and mental torture made him completely crazy, and he could no longer maintain the image of a benevolent king.

But the more this happened, the more he relied on Wei Shu, and even really accepted Wei Shu's position as the Duke of Yue. Although he did not explicitly say that he wanted to adopt Wei Shu as his adopted son, the people in the capital all had noses bigger than dogs. Turin had already heard the news and moved, almost crushing the steps in front of the commander's residence.

However, Wei Shu was not proud of this, nor did he take this opportunity to form a party for personal gain. Instead, he served Emperor Jiayou more properly and thoughtfully, which really gave Emperor Jiayou a feeling of "a filial son comes to old age", and he even wished for Wei Shu day and night. Be there for me.

As a result, Wei Shu became the first foreign minister during the reign of Emperor Jiayou to freely enter and leave the Chengming Palace, have three meals with Emperor Jiayou, and occasionally stay overnight in the palace.

"Your Majesty, calm down. If there is still no news within three days, I will go there personally." Wei Shu quickly handed a cup of tea to Emperor Jiayou.

The prince who wanted to do the same thing retracted his hand angrily, and his expression became silent for a moment.

This was originally what he did.

But now that Wei Shu had robbed them all, how could he not feel secretly resentful?

After all, an old eunuch like him cannot solve His Majesty's problems, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy and make achievements. All honor, disgrace and future are tied to the Emperor, and the way to exchange for honor and disgrace is to serve the Emperor well.

Now that Wei Shu is so attentive, how come he doesn't feel wary? If time goes by and the emperor finds that he is no longer needed, his fate can be imagined with his toes.

Emperor Jiayou didn't notice the expression of the prince gnashing his teeth at Wei Shu. He took the tea and drank it. It took him a long time to drink it in one breath and said, "Wei Shu, if everyone can be like you, then I don't have to worry. That’s my heart.”

"Your Majesty, your anger is harmful to your health. You are the most powerful person in the world. What can't be solved by you with just a few clicks of your fingers?" Wei Shu said seriously, without any hint of flattery. This made Emperor Jiayou It was very comfortable to hear.

The more serious a person is, the better his good words sound.

Emperor Jiayou handed over the tea cup, and the prince reached out to take it, but was one step behind Wei Shu.

It happened that Wei Shu saw him reaching out, so he retracted his hand and stood aside. It was at this wrong moment that Wang Gonggong failed to catch it in time, and the tea cup fell to the ground with a bang and broke into countless pieces.

The boiling tea splashed Emperor Jiayou's feet, and Emperor Jiayou's suppressed anger was immediately aroused again. He slapped the prince's head and cursed viciously: "Useless thing." , you can’t even hold a cup of tea, haven’t you eaten? Get out of here! I don’t want to see the face of an old naughty slave like you! From now on, whenever Wei Shu is around, don’t serve him anymore! Get out!”

The prince was so dizzy from the beating that he did not dare to say a word. He bent down to pick up the knocked off hat and left with his hair in disarray.

Wei Shu helped Emperor Jiayou sit down and patted him on the back: "Your Majesty, the prince is old after all, and his hands and feet are not as agile as those of young people. In consideration of his lifelong kindness to serve you, let him be spared this time."

Emperor Jiayou glanced at Wei Shu in surprise and said, "Don't you always refuse to deal with me? Why do you still speak for him?"

Wei Shu replied: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, because he was angry and scolded the prince. If you punished the prince severely today, when you calm down, your majesty may feel uncomfortable when you think of the kindness of the prince. That’s why I advise you, I just don’t want your Majesty to have any burden on your heart.”

"In terms of caring, no one among my children can compare with you." After hearing these words, Emperor Jiayou not only lost his anger, but also smiled more kindly, "Come, you and I will analyze the situation carefully. Please tell me what the situation is like with King Qi and if there is any news about him."

Wei Shu gave an overview of the situation in the court, and finally said: "Your Majesty, what worries me right now is, what was the thing that caused you to fall into the water that day? If it had been lurking in the water, I'm afraid it would have hurt you again. People, there are many officials in Yangzhou now dealing with water diversion matters."

Emperor Jiayou slapped the table with a serious look on his face: "I'm also curious. The guards said it was just a frightened fish, but I don't believe it. There are tens of thousands of people and thousands of rafts covering almost the entire water surface. Why is that so? The fish doesn't attack other rafts, but instead attacks me? You must continue to investigate this matter, I want to see who is the unruly person who wants to harm me!"

Wei Shu said: "I will take care of this matter. Your Majesty, don't worry. You have to take good care of the dragon body. The country, the country, and the people cannot do without you."

After a pause, Wei Shu said worriedly: "I have asked the imperial doctors. They said that Your Majesty's body has suffered a lot due to this injury. You must listen to the imperial doctors, take your medicine on time and be calm, so that you can recover as soon as possible. But Don’t be like the emperors in ancient times who kept tabs on illnesses and avoided medical treatment, and even used elixirs to recuperate the body just for the sake of convenience.”

Wei Shu's deep voice and Emperor Jiayou's laughter reached the ears of the prince. His heart felt as if cold water had been poured over it, cold and without any warmth.

This Wei Shu, relying on his temporary pride, dared to frame him. He must let this thing know how spicy his piece of old ginger is!

He has served His Majesty all his life, and he is His Majesty's confidant. If he wants to compete with him, he should be born a few decades earlier!

The more the prince thought about it, the angrier he became. He arranged his hair, patted his hat and put it on. His slightly embarrassed expression made the resentment on his face and the killing intent in his eyes particularly clear.

At this time, a young man walked slowly not far away. His body was like a green pine and his face was like the breeze. He was the third prince.

As soon as the prince laid his eyes on the third prince, a vicious plan emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Wei Shu, we can't cure you, but we can kill you with a knife. You are dead!
