Chapter 137
The next day, because the weather was fine and there was no rain, everyone hurried on their way. They traveled more than 200 miles when it was still early, and settled in Anping County in Shenzhou.

It wasn't until this time that Ya Ruo knew that the purpose of the emperor's trip was to leave Zhili and go south to Henan to see the Yellow River.

Because the Yellow River is prone to floods, the emperors of all dynasties have been very concerned about the management of the Yellow River. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has heard of floods in the Yellow River every year, and Henan is the most serious, so the emperor wanted to go south. The purpose of this trip is Kaifeng.

Ya Ruo didn't know until today that the historically famous city of Kaifeng actually no longer exists.

Of course, she, who is blind to history, doesn't understand these things. It wasn't until the emperor explained that she knew that more than ten years ago, when this land belonged to the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising army, led his troops to besiege Kaifeng Mansion, because he could not break through for a long time, he was shot blind in one eye by the defenders of the city, and almost lost his life, so he held a grudge.

Therefore, this greedy man immediately gave up the inexhaustible treasures and beauties in the city, broke the embankment of the Yellow River, and flooded Kaifeng City with water, causing most of the buildings in the city to be destroyed and silted up, and the entire Kaifeng City was flooded. Nine out of ten people were drowned, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, which was horrible.

In the Qing Dynasty, because the current situation is not too stable, after the war, a lot of things are waiting to be done, so Kaifeng Mansion was not rebuilt. As the capital of Henan Province, Kaifeng existed in name only, and officials could only be stationed in neighboring counties as directors.

"One day, I will definitely solve the flood in the Yellow River and rebuild the Kaifeng Mansion." The emperor said in a deep voice, looking out the window.

Ya Ruo felt a little sad when she saw that the emperor was so high-spirited, pointing out the country, serving the people wholeheartedly, and full of ideals and ambitions in his chest.

How could her cousin, who was clearly a good emperor who cared about the world and cared for the people, be so fascinated by a woman that he died young in the end?

Of course, it was rumored that he became a monk. No matter what the ending was, she felt that it was too inappropriate.

Is Ningchuge of the Dong E family in the palace, the legendary number one beauty in the capital, the real culprit?
Of course, she has always believed that men can't bear the great responsibility of the world and have nothing to do with women, so don't just say that you are angry and crowned as a beauty, and attribute all your gains and losses to a woman.

A man who really wants to be capable should not let a woman take the blame for his failure.

But...she still decided...to keep her emperor's cousin away from that woman named Ning Chuge, just to be prepared.

"Ninth brother, rebuilding the Kaifeng mansion will take a lot of manpower and material resources, and a lot of money. Didn't you say... years of fighting, and now the country has just been settled, a lot of waste is waiting to be built, the treasury is empty, and it can't even support the Northwest War? Besides... the Yellow River's embankment bursting is something that has happened in all dynasties, and it is too difficult to cure it." Bomu Bogor leaned his head and said in a low voice.

What he meant was to persuade his royal brother, don't think about these unrealistic things now, let's talk about... The Yellow River bursting embankment, in his opinion, is hopeless. If there is a way, it can last thousands of years Is it flooded all the time, from upstream to downstream?
"So you have to work hard, knowing that these two things are too difficult to do, and you have to work hard to share my worries. After returning to Beijing, you will learn your skills with your masters, and go to the Six Departments to practice more. In the future, the Yellow River will break its embankment and rebuild Kaifeng Mansion. , I will hand it over to the three of you." The emperor said in a deep voice.

What he dislikes the most is that Bomu Bogor is not motivated and always only knows how to stand still, his vision is too short-sighted.

"Yes." Chang Adai and Fushou responded quickly, both of them looked confident and ready to fight.

But Bomu Bogor thought they were trying to curry favor with the emperor, that's why they agreed so quickly, and even pretended to be righteous, so he immediately showed contempt in his eyes.

Ya Ruo didn't speak all the time, but just listened from the sidelines, because she could feel the determination and helplessness of the emperor.

The emperor wanted to rebuild the Kaifeng mansion and solve the flood of the Yellow River. Although he was full of confidence, he also knew that the road ahead was full of thorns, and it would not be possible overnight.

The reconstruction of Kaifeng Mansion can be done as long as the national treasury is a little sufficient, but the flood control of the Yellow River may be completed from now on, and children and grandchildren will continue to do so for hundreds of years or even longer. But no matter what, the emperor has made up his mind to After accomplishing these two things, no one and nothing can stop his determination,
Ya Ruo stood aside and did not speak, because she knew that in this era where men are superior to women, when these men are talking about business, women have no place to intervene. Besides... In the eyes of these people, she is also a child, No one will ask her what she thinks.

At least she studied environmental management in her previous life, so she can give some advice, but to completely control the flood... It's hard!

"Go out, I have something to say to Bomu Bogor." The emperor said in a deep voice.

As soon as Ya Ruo and the others heard it, they knew that the emperor wanted to reprimand Bomu Bogor, because these days, only when the emperor was very angry would he call himself "Zhen".

As for what the emperor said to Bomu Bogor, Ya Ruo and the others didn't know, they only knew that the kid looked ashamed after he came out.

For some reason, seeing him being bullied by the emperor, Ya Ruo was in a good mood, and specially added food for everyone at noon.

After another three days of trekking, they finally arrived at Zheng County, Kaifeng Prefecture at dusk on the fifth day of March.

Zheng County is very close to Kaifeng, but only tens of miles away, and it takes less than an hour to get there quickly, because Kaifeng Mansion was flooded ten years ago, and now it is in ruins, so the officials of the state capital are all in Zheng County handles public affairs, and now Zheng County is very prosperous, and its scale is no less than a state capital.

"Brother Huang, where are we going now? The post station, or go to the governor's office?" Bomu Boguerce immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile.

The emperor tightened the reins, glanced at him lightly, and then said in a low voice, "What is our trip here for?"

"Weifu private visit!" After Bomu Bogoer finished speaking, he covered his mouth all of a sudden, wishing to give himself two mouths.

Ya Ruo, who was sitting in the carriage, was looking out. Seeing his stupid appearance, he really admired the emperor. Faced with such a bastard, the emperor was willing to explain. If it was her, he would just throw off the horse and go.

"Don't go to the post station, just find an inn to stay in." The emperor ordered in a low voice with a serious expression.
