Di Yin shook his head: "Returning to Brother Huang, it's not really an urgent matter."
The emperor's eyes were indifferent and he couldn't help but look at Di Yin inquiringly. Although outsiders said that this emperor's younger brother was extremely deep and elusive, they were brothers from the same mother after all. The emperor could see what he was thinking. Clear as day.
So, the probing eyes wandered around Di Yin for a while, and finally landed on Lu Wanwan.
The emperor started to gossip a little, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Well...the rumors among the people are somewhat true. It's obvious that these two people are in love!
"Royal brother, you might as well come and listen. Miss Lu happens to be here. If what you say is wrong, you can ask Miss Lu to give you some pointers."
Di Yin suddenly raised his eyes. Even though he knew that the emperor brother said this on purpose, he felt really unconvinced, especially when he met Lu Wanwan's gloating eyes.
"Back to my brother, I feel that if I really ask Li Shilang to deal with the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, I won't be able to deal with it well."
It was a matter of government affairs, so the emperor hurriedly put away his gossip.
"Can you please tell me why?"
Di Yin smiled faintly: "It's not that I'm overly worried. The emperor naturally knows who this Shilang Li is, but what the emperor doesn't know is that Li Shilang's son has been bullying the people all year round, and he still uses fate as an excuse. And this The father never thought there was anything wrong, but was very indulgent. On the surface, the emperor's brother, Li Shilang, was on good terms with all the ministers in the court, but privately he even accepted bribes. There were many things that the emperor's brother was not aware of."
Di Yin was an important minister and was of royal blood, so the emperor naturally listened to what he said. Even if his words were somewhat aggressive, the emperor didn't care at all.
If he hadn't forced Di Yin to become an official, he might have gone to live in seclusion in the countryside.
There is no imperial heart at all.
The emperor frowned, thoughtfully.
After a long while, he spoke leisurely, but he was not talking about the flood in Jiangnan, but about the internal fighting in the court.
"Imperial brother, I'm so grateful that I kept you here in the first place. Otherwise, I would have been very worried about all these important ministers' matters."
Di Yin twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Imperial, if you want me to check on him, just say so."
"Very good, the emperor understands my thoughts."
Lu Wanwan was stunned as she watched from the side. How could these two brothers get along so well?
In the past, Lu Wanwan had seen many brothers killing each other due to the struggle for power in books, but this was really the first time she had seen this.
She always felt something was wrong, well...listen again.
The emperor smiled and said: "In my opinion, who should be sent to control floods in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Di Yin thought about it for a long time and said: "To control floods, we need to permanently eliminate future troubles and gain the reputation of the people. Therefore, I think it is better to send General Lu Yan. Once the general leads the troops to fight, he will be able to endure the hardships." Secondly, this person who controls the floods cares about the people and is ruthless. Thirdly, my brother feels that General Lu is an honest man and even if he wants to do corruption, he will not be able to do it."
What a simple person.
Lu Wanwan was laughing around him. Doesn't this mean that Lu Yan's IQ is not enough, so he can't take bribes?
Di Yin, Di Yin, your mouth must be poisonous.
The emperor was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking.
After a while, he asked Lu Wanwan: "Miss Lu, what do you think about this matter?"
"When I return to the emperor, my daughter does not dare to discuss the government affairs unreasonably, but what the regent said is reasonable. Even if I lend my father the courage, my father will not dare to do anything corrupt. Even if he is corrupt, I can just lie to him with a few words. Take it away, it doesn’t matter.”
Sure enough, it's his own.
Di Yin and Lu Wanwan sang together and directly elected Lu Yan as the person most suitable to control the flood.
When he leaves, it can take at least three or four months, or at most half a year.
It also made Lu Wanwan feel relaxed.
She could breathe a sigh of relief without anyone getting in her way.
After hearing this, the emperor directly slapped the table to express his agreement.
How many of these officials are innocent?
It's just a certain amount, and Lu Yan is indeed innocent.
The emperor knew it well. It wasn't that Lu Yan didn't want to be greedy, but that he simply didn't have the brains.
As soon as the matter was finalized, the Emperor thought of the Queen Mother and arranged for Lu Wanwan: "Eunuch Li, take Miss Lu to the Queen Mother's palace to pay her respects. By the way, let her show her mother what went wrong."
Eunuch Li took the order, and as soon as they left, the emperor and Di Yin were the only ones left in the huge side hall.
Before Di Yin could express anything, the emperor spoke first and directly opened up the relationship between him and Lu Wanwan.
"Royal brother, you are quite old. Have you found a girl you like recently?"
Di Yin said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Yes."
"Oh? There is such a rare thing. What kind of woman is she? Come and bring it to me."
The emperor knew what he was asking, so Di Yin simply accompanied him in the performance.
"Brother Imperial, haven't we seen her just now? You still praised her as a strange woman."
The emperor said meaningfully: "Huh? I didn't know that it was Miss Lu that you fell in love with. However, I heard about something recently."
"My Heavenly Master came to me and said that there is a Ziwei star in the sky recently that is close to the Emperor Star. This Ziwei star is in the direction of the General's Mansion. Lu Wanwan just came back from the mountain today. I have no reason not to doubt, Lu Wan Wan is the star approaching Ziwei."
Di Yin frowned.
Sacrifice me?
He had some contact with Jiwu before, but Di Yin felt that this man was very sophisticated and had no good impression of him.
Now that I mention it again, I feel uneasy.
I'm afraid I entered the palace this time because of what Ji Wu said.
He explained calmly: "Brother Emperor, if you believe that Lu Wanwan is the Ziwei Star, then that is true. If you don't believe it, Lu Wanwan has nothing to do with the celestial phenomena. Brother Emperor may not know that there is another second in the general's residence. Miss, your personality is very different from that of Lu Wanwan, but she fell on her head a few days ago."
And a daughter?
The emperor frowned slightly, with a sad look on his face.
"Have you got the evil spirit under control?"
He suddenly spoke again.
Di Yin shook his head: "The last time I saw a person on the roadside, the evil spirit has gotten worse since then. It's only thanks to Lu Wanwan that I was able to save my life."
When the emperor heard this, he became even more curious about this Lu Wanwan.
He simply didn't beat around the bush and pointed it out directly: "I asked her to come here because I wanted her to take a look at my mother's illness. I didn't believe in Ziweixing. I heard about Lu Wanwan's name and always wanted to invite her over. I can’t tell the world, I believe in what ghosts and gods say, but if you fall in love with her, I can help you get married."
Di Yin shook his head helplessly, remembering what Lu Wanwan had said before, and rejected the emperor's proposal.
"Brother Imperial, Wanwan said that there is a long time to come, so there is no rush to get married."
