Wu Mei Niang's Support! The Crown Prince's pride!
Very quickly, Li Ke's flood report was sent to various places.
Shandong, Henan, Yangzhou, Huai, and Hai all received this report. Then, the officials in various places also fell into a difficult situation.
At this moment, in Yangzhou.
In the Yangzhou government office.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian was sitting on the main seat while the other officials were sitting below.
Li Chengqian picked up Li Ke's report and said with a playful smile,""This younger brother of mine likes to mess around with all sorts of things when he has nothing to do. He doesn't know how to properly manage his own territory, but he still comes to prophesy this and that. For such a shameful matter to spread throughout the Great Tang, he's truly a joke to everyone.”
All the officials burst into laughter.
" After all, His Highness the King of Shu is not as wise as His Highness the Crown Prince," the Yangzhou Prefect said." Since His Highness the Crown Prince came to Yangzhou, he has been diligent and caring about the sufferings of the people. He is really our role model!"”
Seeing this, the other officials also agreed.
"Yes, the Great Tang has His Highness the Crown Prince. It's truly a blessing for the people of the Great Tang!”
"His Highness the King of Shu is indeed a little mischievous, but fortunately, he has the Crown Prince as his elder brother. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Your Highness, why don't you write a letter to persuade His Highness the King of Shu to govern his territory well?”
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard everyone's words.
He said," What you said is indeed reasonable. I am the elder brother. When I see my brother walking on the wrong path, I will naturally remind him to return to the right path. Later, I will write a letter and send it to Yizhou! When the time comes, I hope that everyone can inform Imperial Father of what I have done in the form of a memorial.”
All the officials nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness teaching His Highness the King of Shu is an example for your brother. We should naturally inform His Majesty of this matter!”
"That's right. Even if His Highness doesn't instruct us on these matters, we will still submit a letter to His Majesty!”
"However, Your Highness, regarding the matter of the King of Shu saying that there might be a flood in Yangzhou, what should we do?”
Hearing the official's words, Li Chengqian only sneered.
He said,"This matter is just that he was anxious to show off in front of Father. Do you really believe him?" Moving the people, moving the granaries…Which of these things isn't a huge waste of money and manpower? There's no need for us to really make the people suffer just because of a joke!”
" I have decided to ignore him, and you should also write a letter to reprimand him. This matter is so tiring, how can it be such a child's play..."
"Yes, we will obey the Crown Prince's orders!”

At the same time.
Shandong.
In the mansion of the governor of Shandong Province.
The warrior returned to the mansion with a headache. His face was full of hesitation and fatigue, and he seemed to be in a dilemma.
"Father, do you have something on your mind?"
At this moment, a very pleasant voice sounded from outside the samurai's door.
Then, he saw his smartest daughter walk in. He held his forehead and waved his hand, saying,"It's indeed a headache!”
His daughter walked over leisurely, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of hot tea for Samurai. She said softly,"Father might as well tell Mei Niang about it. Perhaps Mei Niang can help father a little.”
The warrior looked at his beloved daughter and remembered her well-read and talented. After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened his mouth.
He took out a report and said,"Take a look. This is what the imperial court sent to Shandong today. It says that His Highness the King of Shu has predicted that Shandong will suffer a flood and that he wants us to decide what to do.”
"We officials discussed for an entire afternoon, but we still didn't have any clues.”
The daughter of the warrior was called Wu Mei Niang. She was extremely beautiful and had the temperament of a lady from a noble family. However, because she was well-read, her eyes often flashed with wisdom, making her seem extremely spiritual.
She picked up the report and read it carefully. Then, she listened to the discussion in the afternoon. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth.
She looked at the warrior and asked,"What does father think of His Highness the King of Shu?"”
The warrior did not even think about it and said,"His Highness the King of Shu is famous for his virtue. He loves his people like his own children."”
"Father, do you think that such a virtuous king would spout nonsense? How could he not know that once this report was believed, it would cause a huge impact?”Wu Meiniang asked again.
" This..." The warrior hesitated.
Wu Meiniang said," Father is in the police station, so it's hard to notice. However, Meiniang learned from books that people should not defile themselves. For a virtuous king like the King of Shu, it was not easy to accumulate such a holy name. How could he easily disgrace his own reputation? Therefore, since he dared to say it, he naturally had some basis!”
"Then what do you mean?" Wu Shi looked at Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang continued," Of course, we can't place all our bets on His Highness the King of Shu. After all, we've never had close contact with him. But there's something that I want to tell you, Father."”
"These few days, Mei Niang often saw fish constantly coming out of the water to breathe, and swallows flying so low that they were close to the ground. Moreover, the weather is getting more and more stuffy. Although we can still see the sun shining high in the sky, there is a feeling that a storm is coming. So…Mei Niang also wanted to remind her father to be on guard against storms and floods!”
"It's just that I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Shu, who is far away in Yizhou, would be able to predict what would happen here in advance, which made Mei Niang curious.”
When Wu Shi Ling heard Wu Meiniang's words, his eyes couldn't help but widen as he said,"Are you saying that there will really be torrential rains and floods in Shandong?”
Wu Meiniang's expression also turned solemn."There's a 70% to 80% chance that it will be like this, so I hope that father will be prepared early to avoid a disaster!”
Shua!
Hearing this, Wu Shi couldn't stand any longer. He stood up and walked out without saying anything.
He might not trust His Highness the King of Shu, but he trusted his daughter a hundred percent!
If Wu Meiniang said that there would be a disaster, then there would really be one!
Looking at the back view of Wu Shi Yao, Wu Meiniang picked up the report on the table and looked at it. Her eyes could not help but have a strange glow.
" Your Highness, I really want to see you with my own eyes. How did you find out about what happened here…"
