The Female Cannon Fodder Is Highly Poisonous

Ning Yuanhou, Prime Minister, General and the others were not able to go to the harem to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, but they were in a very good mood today.

As long as Ruan Zhong went to the southwest, he would not be able to come back within ten days and a half, so that they would have enough time to talk to the Queen Mother.

On the contrary, the regent who went to the Qinzheng Palace after listening to their story had a gloomy look on his face when he left, startling the guards at the palace gate.

"Where's sir?" he asked.

Meng Ping asked and said he had something to do and went out.

With no one to talk to, the regent became more and more annoyed and asked, "Where is that disciple of his?"

Meng Ping: "I went out with Mr. Ming."

Regent: "...When they come back, let them come to see the king."

Mingdi and Mingran didn't come back until dark.

After arriving at the palace, he met the regent immediately.

"Your Majesty really wants the prince to go to the southwest to take charge of the overall situation?" Ming Di was a little skeptical. What the new emperor was most afraid of was the military power in the hands of the regent and his prestige in the military and among the people.

Controlling the floods is a great achievement and will make the regent's prestige among the people even higher. Does the new emperor really want to see such a development?

The regent nodded with an ugly look on his face. Regardless of whether the child had other intentions, he definitely wanted him to go to the southwest.

The outbreak of the flood had been foreshadowed for a long time, but it was not taken seriously by local officials. Later, when they discovered the problem, they were afraid that it would affect the whole body, so they began to do everything possible to cover it up.

It wasn't until the floods swept through that even the surrounding counties were affected, and rotting and smelly corpses soaked in the water could be seen everywhere, that they could no longer hide them, then they were so frightened that they became silent and hurriedly reported it.

Even when the report was submitted, they did not rush to send people to Beijing. Instead, they hesitated and chose to report it layer by layer, which took a lot of time.

By the time His Majesty saw the memorial, more than ten days had passed.

No one knows what kind of disasters the floods that have been flooding indiscriminately have now caused.

Under such circumstances, if the imperial court does not send heavyweight ministers, cannot appease the people, cannot control the flood, and cannot solve a series of post-disaster problems, then big problems will arise.

When faced with the situation of losing their families and having no food or water, there is no guarantee that people who were born in the southwest, where the folk customs are fierce and wild, will not rise up...

From this aspect, His Majesty's choice to send him to fight is indeed the most correct choice!

If you don't have the ability to make decisions, then Your Majesty is not worthy of being in that position.

But.

Will Your Majesty really believe him that much?

The Prince Regent didn't think so.

Your Majesty, like him, is suspicious by nature. Even if he was taught well by Yao'er, he still has the same blood as him and the late emperor flowing in his bones. How could such a majesty be a simple and innocent person?

Knowing that he has a large number of troops and great prestige, you still sent him to the southwest. What was your Majesty's intention?

Ming Di seemed to have seen what the regent was thinking, and asked: "Do you have concerns, Your Majesty? Or are you worried that His Majesty has other agendas?"

The regent didn't want to admit it, but after so many years, his ambitions had been temporarily hidden, but his wariness was still there.

In the first two years, His Majesty was unwilling to send him out of the capital because he was afraid that he would control more troops and more power. But now he is willing. How can he not be suspicious?

Seeing this, Ming Di sighed in his heart.

The prince's intuition is still so accurate, but his character has changed.

If it had been ten years ago, the prince would have eliminated his worries as soon as possible. At that time, anyone who stood in his way would die.

Rather than like now...

The prince is no longer the wise master who can ascend to the throne of God and is worthy of their following.
