C532 On the Canal

In an instant, no matter if it was Ji Chang, the Prince of Wen, Ying Zheng, or any others, they all stood out and said, "Liu Jing Gong. Grand Elder, I request royal father to reward you handsomely! "1

The Human Emperor had a smile on his face as he said, "The Three Flamecloud Cholera of the Lingnan has indeed been pacified for Ninth Brother. This is a good start."

He then heard Ji Chang say: "Ninth Brother knew that Zhu Wen was conspiring against him, and even more so, he had hidden his army, his ambition, and Ninth Brother killed him with a single finger, preventing the Lingnan crisis. It should be recorded in the annals of history, praised by the entire world!"

The official looked at Ji Chang with a strange expression. Everyone knew about the hatred between Ji Chang and Shen Muqing, so why did his attitude change so drastically this time?

Ying Zheng also said, "Since ancient times, there have been clouds, and those who are good at fighting have no outstanding skills. The fact that the Nine Grounds were able to destroy Prince of Liang's army with a flip of a hand is a peerless feat. I hope royal father can reward them handsomely!"

These two princes had done the right thing with Shen Muqing. If those words were said by Prince of Han and Prince of Sung, then there was nothing to be surprised about. However, from the mouths of Prince of Wen and Qin Wang, they felt that something was off!

One of them was the Prince of Ning faction, the other was against the Prince of Ning faction. The main force that opposed the Prince of Ning faction actually started to speak up for Shen Muqing, which was quite strange!

Yang Guang heard the words of the two and thought to himself, sinister!

But he also admired one person, and that person was Ma Shumou!

Yesterday, he said that Shen Muqing abolished Prince of Liang and lost his temper. However, he intended to incite his trusted aides to impeach Shen Muqing.

However, Ma Shumou had stopped him. Ma Shumou had even said that Ji Chang and Ying Zheng would not attack Shen Muqing and would instead pay tribute to Shen Muqing. The reason was simply because Ma Shumou had learned how to temporarily avoid the danger.

Shen Muqing was currently loved by the Human Emperor, and this was a world-shocking achievement. At this time, other than making the Human Emperor unhappy, there was nothing good about attacking Prince of Ning.

However, after thinking about what Ma Shumou had taught him, he stood up and said, "Ninth Brother has accomplished an extraordinary deed, breaking the structure of the three vassal lords of Lingnan. As for the remaining two vassal lords, they will suppress the other party and will definitely depend on the imperial court. At that time, they will be able to control the two vassal lords."

The Human Emperor replied, "Yes, Ninth Brother did well in this battle. Breaking through the third marshal has caused the remaining two to fall into isolation. Such a meritorious deed should be greatly rewarded!"

The officials and princes shouted out in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this moment, Yang Guang saw that the Human Emperor was in a good mood, so he stepped forward and said, "This son has a plan to beat you up."

The Human Emperor nodded. "Speak!"

Yang Guang cleared his throat and said, "War has broken out everywhere, and natural disasters have struck everywhere. The mountains have collapsed and caused troubles for the people. Although the government has allocated food for disaster relief, to the people, it's just a drop in the bucket."

The Human Emperor nodded. "This is indeed a difficult problem. What suggestions do you have?"

Yang Guang said, "This son believes that with such a great disaster, it would be better to seek resources from the civilian merchants to provide relief to the victims, regardless of whether or not the court will resolve it. However, relief needs to be handled by vehicles and horses, and the roads are not accessible."

The civil and military officials also nodded in agreement. Indeed, although China was vast, since there weren't many roads built, they heard Yang Guang continue to say: "This son wants to talk about the Beijing and Hangzhou Canal, so royal father isn't at ease to drive those affected rivers to clear the water. This way, all the auxiliary roads, regions, and towns can provide food for the disaster."
