Luan's return today

Chapter 15 Confrontation
Even though she thought so, she was still uneasy in her heart, couldn't sleep at night, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was frowning all day long.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, tomorrow will be the time for the confrontation between court and court. Jiang Yue sorted out the thoughts in her mind behind closed doors for the past two days, combined with the notes sent by Meng Yiyi, and finally wrote a complete plan.

She stretched herself, thinking: I can finally have a good sleep.

In the dead of night, Chu Yao sneaked into Jiang Yue's room and flipped through the paper that was a few centimeters high on the table. His eyes were full of shock. It seemed that the emperor was thinking too much, and she didn't need her help at all.

The admiration for Jiang Yue in my heart is even stronger. There are not many women with brains like her. If Jiang Yue is a man, she must be the prime minister.

Thinking of Jiang Yue's ambitions, maybe she can become the prime minister as a woman, but she will face more hardships.

In the morning, Jiang Yue woke up and didn't find that her things had been touched by anyone. She picked up the booklet on the table and went to court.

At the gate of Xuanwu, she happened to meet Zhou Ting, her opponent today. Jiang Yue didn't want to quarrel, but Zhou Ting didn't take the initiative to provoke her.

"Princess, it's too late to regret it now. The court is not a place for women, and no one will say anything even if they admit defeat."

Zhou Ting was full of confidence, his plan was drafted by most of the courtiers yesterday, how can it be compared with a mere woman.

"Why does Taifu have to talk so fast here? Winning or losing is up to the emperor's decision. Taifu wants this princess to admit defeat in advance, is he worried about something?"

Jiang Yue was in high spirits, and she ignored Zhou Ting who was blowing his beard and staring behind her back, and walked directly towards the Jinluan Hall.

Above the court hall, Jiang Yue and Zhou Ting each presented their notebooks.

The emperor opened Zhou Ting's folder first without saying a word, his expression didn't change at all, but Zhou Ting raised his chin with a gesture of sure victory.

After reading it, the emperor raised his lowered eyes slightly, and glanced at Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting's booklet was considered excellent, even better than before, and it was a very good plan.

He crossed Jiangyue with a little worry, thinking that Zhaohua's chances of winning were not great, but seeing Jiangyue's face as calm as water, without the slightest nervousness, the emperor was puzzled and couldn't help but flip through Jiangyue's book.

After reading only two pages, the emperor's eyes lit up, and his hands were trembling with excitement. He endured the surging mood, and read the book from beginning to end. He couldn't help standing up, laughing loudly, applauding non-stop, Can't help expressing emotion.

"I got a Zhaohua, it is a blessing to leave the country!"

Before Zhou Ting raised his chin, he heard the emperor's words, and an expression of disbelief froze on his face. The emperor's words meant that Jiang Yue won?
How could Jiang Yue win, how could there be a more perfect plan than theirs, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and they couldn't believe the result in front of them.

Jiang Yue smiled slightly, "It's the people's good fortune to have the emperor as a king in Liguo."

Hearing Jiang Yue's flattery, the emperor was in a good mood and laughed even more freely, and saw the doubtful eyes of all the courtiers.

"Eunuch Li, show them Zhaohua's notebook."

The courtiers circulated Jiang Yue's papers one by one, and they were all shocked when they saw them, and they all nodded to their contents.

Although Zhou Ting was surprised that Jiang Yue could write so many things, the more he looked back, the more strange his expression became.

"Is this really written by the princess?"

"Naturally, what questions does Taifu have?" Jiang Yue's expression was indifferent, without any pride and complacency because of the emperor's appreciation.

"Then the official understands that although the entire content of the notebook seems reasonable, there are many paradoxes in many places."

"Tai Tu refers to the topography?" Jiang Yue asked.

"Since the princess knows about it, why did she write such an excerpt? Could it be that she is fooling us?"

Seeing Zhou Ting flicking her sleeves in anger, Jiang Yue said slowly: "The Taifu's vision should not be too narrow. Even though the Taifu has read many books, he doesn't know that there is a saying that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."

"Did the Taifu ever think that books are written by predecessors, how many springs and autumns have passed since today, the sun changes and the stars move, and the sea changes, nothing remains the same."

"Aside from what is said in the book, what does the Taifu know about the terrain of Jiangnan today? What is the location? How is the flood volume? How is the flood going? What is the direction of the river?"

"Does the Grand Tutor know why there are frequent floods in the south of the Yangtze River? And why is it getting worse every year?" Jiang Yue's eyes fell on Zhou Ting, "Dare to ask the Grand Tutor, have you ever thought about this seriously?"

The corners of Zhou Ting's mouth twitched slightly. Jiang Yue's questions were all common sense questions in the book, and he could answer them with his eyes closed, but he didn't know it when he went to the book.

"The official has never understood these things, so is it possible that the Princess knows?"

"Exactly." Jiang Yue nodded, "This princess was fortunate to have led troops in the south, and it can also be regarded as having lived in Jiangnan for several years. Naturally, he is more familiar with its topography and landforms, and wrote it according to local conditions. This booklet."

"If there is something in the Taifu's excerpts that you don't understand, just bring it up, and Jiang Yue will definitely tell you everything."

Zhou Ting wanted to embarrass Jiang Yue, so he would not be polite.

He raised all the places where he had doubts in a tricky way.

But Jiang Yue was not completely unprepared, and gave reasonable explanations perfectly one by one.

After a battle of words, guns and lips, everyone in the court no longer had the superficial and ignorant impression of Jiang Yue.

Zhou Ting also secretly admired him, but as a veteran of the court, how could he shamefully admit his lack of ability.

"Although the princess has given a reasonable explanation for this, it is only on paper after all, and it is not enough to convince the official."

Seeing that Zhou Ting had let go, Jiang Yue followed closely and said, "Three months, with a period of three months, the princess will take care of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. If not, Jiang Yue will come to see you."

Jiang Yue's bold behavior caused an uproar in the court.

Military order?How dare Jiang Yue issue a military order?
Doesn't she know that things like floods are all up to God. If you are unlucky and it rains continuously for three months, then Jiang Yue will definitely lose this trip.

The emperor also thought of this, and his face showed embarrassment. It's not that he didn't believe in Jiang Yue's method, but that there were unpredictable circumstances, and three months may not be too short.

"I ask the emperor to issue an order."

The emperor saw that Jiang Yue had made up his mind, so he said, "Give Jiang Yue, the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, the capital water department, and go to the south of the Yangtze River tomorrow. In addition, he will give the capital water department Shang Fangjian. In case of emergency, you can cut it first and then play it."

The emperor knew that Jiang Yue's trip would be full of difficulties, and hoped that Shang Fangjian could give her some convenience.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will live up to my trust."
