Quick Wear: The host is both a dog and ruthless

Chapter 319 A powerful official dressed as a man 1

But he did not expect that Nangong Chen could actually answer it, and spoke in an orderly manner, and also received great praise from the ministers.

Although my father didn't say anything, I could tell from his gentle expression that he was very happy, but he didn't show it particularly.

King Lu clenched his fists. It seemed that he had underestimated his enemy. He didn't expect that the usually naive Nangong Chen was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

This time, not only did it fail to overthrow him, but it also helped him build a lot of reputation in the court.

As soon as Nangong Chen finished speaking, the ministers in the court had changed their views on him and began to discuss his proposal in whispers.

Seeing this, Nangong Chen thought about it and continued.

"Father, I think what the ministers said just now makes sense. Since Jingzhou is facing floods, it is inevitable for us to open warehouses for disaster relief or allocate disaster relief funds. However, in order to avoid excessive losses in the national treasury, I think we should still use the principle of work-for-relief in the later stage and make rational use of manpower to rebuild flood control dams to prevent floods from recurring in the later stage."

Seeing that his father and the ministers were becoming more and more appreciative of Nangong Chen, Prince Lu could no longer sit still and hurriedly stepped out to make his presence felt.

"Father, flood control dams have long been built, but flood disasters still occur every year. I am willing to go to Jingzhou to investigate the disaster and flood conditions. When I come back, I will definitely give you a perfect solution."

As soon as King Lu finished speaking, Nangong Chen jumped out again and added with a silly look on his face.

"Father, I have recently read some books on flood prevention and disaster relief, and combined with the topographic map of the rivers in Jingzhou, I have come up with a flood control dam."

After saying that, he took out a picture from his chest.

The picture is a water conservancy project similar to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. It can divert water and combine it for irrigation, and is a great project that benefits the people.

It consists of three major parts: Yuzui diversion dike, Feishayan spillway, Baopingkou water inlet and ancillary projects such as Baizhang dike and Renzi dike. It scientifically solves the problems of automatic diversion and automatic sand discharge of river water, and control of water inlet flow, and can significantly eliminate floods.

The emperor's eyes lit up when he took the map of the dam from the eunuch chief.

Looking at his son who had a nervous look on his face, he gave him a rare smile and praised him generously.

"Chen'er's painting skills have improved a lot recently. Come, everyone, take a look at this picture!"

Then the picture was passed down by the chief eunuch for all the ministers to admire.

After reading it, Gu Heng just lowered his eyes slightly with a faint expression.

When it was the turn of other adults, their expressions were wonderful. After looking at the drawings, their eyes lit up and they kept exclaiming that it was a masterpiece.

Especially the official from Jingzhou, who was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes as he held the picture.

With this magical map, his fellow countrymen in Jingzhou can finally be free from the impact of floods and live and work in peace and contentment.

At this moment, the adults looked at Nangong Chen with no more contempt and disgust, and all of them were replaced by expressions of admiration.

No one would have expected that the naive prince who was not good at either literature or martial arts would actually become a high-end talent with both moral integrity and ability, both civil and military.

At this time, King Lu's face was as black as charcoal, and his back teeth were clattering, but he still had to force a smile in front of everyone. He was almost angry to the point of internal bleeding.

The flood control in Jingzhou was quickly dealt with. The Ministry of Revenue allocated funds and the Ministry of Works sent people to carry out construction. The two ministries worked together in the hope of allowing the people of Jingzhou to quickly return to normal life.

Today, Nangong Chen received a compliment from the emperor in the court and was very happy.

So that night he asked Yuyan to go out for a drink to celebrate.

How could Yu Yan refuse to eat and drink for free? But she didn't expect that they were so unlucky. The second time they went to Zui Xiang Fang, they actually ran into Gu Heng again.

Yuyan cursed her bad luck inwardly, and she reasonably suspected that this elegant and otherworldly Gu Heng was a frequent visitor to Zuixiangfang.

They thought that they would be scolded and driven away by Gu Heng again. But they didn't expect that Gu Heng showed no signs of anger this time, nor did he embarrass them. He even took the initiative to invite them to drink together.

Faced with Gu Heng's invitation, neither of them could refuse, and could only sit down tremblingly while enjoying the singing and dancing downstairs and drinking.

It goes without saying that the wine that Gu Heng drinks is different. It has a mellow and rich aroma. One glass of it leaves you with an endless aftertaste and you want to drink a second and third glass.

Then Yuyan drank continuously, and the pot of wine was soon empty.

She usually had a good alcohol tolerance, but she had not expected that this wine was an aged fine wine. It tasted sweet and not strong at first, but had a strong aftertaste.

At this time, Yuyan's face was flushed, her eyes were hazy, and her whole body looked confused.

After getting drunk, Yuyan supported herself with her hands and looked at the dance outside the window. In a blink of an eye, she saw several dancers dancing on the viewing platform on the first floor.

She looked at him with envy in her eyes, but after a while she felt unsatisfied, so she stood up shakily and said excitedly to Gu Heng.

"Prime Minister, Your Highness, I can also dance the dance they do. I will dance one for you two! Those who have money may pay to show their support, and those who don't... you can use the valuable things on you to pay for it." As he spoke, he walked to an empty place and staggered to jump.

Gu Heng: ...

Nangong Chen: ...

Gu Heng just watched Yu Yan's farce calmly.

Nangong Chen was a little stunned when he saw this scene, and then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yu Yan usually looks cautious, polite, calm and experienced, but I didn't expect him to be so funny when drunk.

Nangong Chen was laughing happily when he suddenly felt a little cold. He turned around and saw Gu Heng looking at him coldly.

Nangong Chen was shocked and thought that Gu Heng must have been angry with Yu Yan’s drunken behavior.

Therefore, based on the principle of good brothers, he quickly stood up to stop Yu Yan, while weakly comforting Gu Heng.

"Minister Gu, calm down. Lady Yu is drunk. I will take her away right now."

Although it is rare to see her make a fool of herself and this scene is quite funny, it is still more important to save her life.

What if Prime Minister Gu kills her in anger?

He finally has such a good brother who shares the same ideals as him, he can't let him die here.

At this time, Yuyan had already picked up a handful of orchids placed in the room and held them in her hands. Then, she followed the movements of the group of dancers downstairs and continued to dance with light and staggering steps.

She held a flower in one hand and the corner of her dress in the other, and turned three circles gracefully and elegantly. Finally, she ended the dance perfectly with a pose of holding a flower in one hand and lowering her head shyly.

Nangong Chen, who had stepped forward to pull her away, was stunned by this scene.

This Yuyan is really talented! Not only is she well-read and humorous, but she can also dance exceptionally well.

He is truly an outstanding child from aristocratic family.
