Chapter 47: King Yan's Plan

The King of Yan has always believed that Zhu Yunwen is just a stinky boy, and he can't do anything big except for a little ink in his stomach. However, from the incident with King Xiang this time, Zhu Yunwen's power was shocked and he was shocked. The trap alone made King of Yan feel inferior. In addition to the extremely powerful Shenwu cannon behind him, the confidence-filled King of Yan completely defeated him.

"Have you found out? Where did Zhu Yunwen get the Shenwu cannon from?"

"Your Highness, we have found out that those magical cannons came from Lin'an..."

"The fief of His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Although the King of Yan found out that these cannons came from the prince's fief, he had no clue at all, including who made these cannons and what principle they were made. The King of Yan must know this information no matter what, but unfortunately, His Royal Highness's fiefdom was actually a piece of iron barrel. No matter how you inquire, you can't get any information. Moreover, because of this, the King of Yan also lost several reconnaissance experts.

"Your Highness, King Yan, we have tried many methods, but we still haven't found any information..."

"A bunch of food..." King Yan cursed a little angrily.

"Your Highness, King Yan, we discovered a situation..."

“What’s the situation?”

"We saw other vassal kings in the prince's fief..."

"This news is good. Please pay attention to them and report it immediately if there is any news..."

"Your Highness, King Yan, we know what to do."

King Yan was in a very complicated mood, but now he could not find anyone to talk to. If Yao Guangxiao was here, at least someone would have helped him out.

"Your Highness, the military advisor is back..."

The King of Yan suddenly became energetic. He said happily: "Why are you still standing there? Please invite the military advisor in immediately."

The King of Yan finally waited until Yao Guangxiao came back, but also waited for a big bad news, because Yao Guangxiao told the King of Yan that the person who had been giving advice behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not exist at all.

"Military advisor, you're not kidding?"

"Your Highness, you think I look like a joke..."

"Military advisor, what do you mean?"

"All this is what His Highness the Crown Prince himself means. If I guess correctly, he has been acting in front of us all the time..."

Yao Guangxiao gave a piece of news that King Yan could not accept. After all, King Yan has always believed that he is the best among the royal family. But if all this is true, then the efforts of King Yan over the years would be a joke.

"Impossible! Zhu Yunwen is definitely not a genius. Is there something wrong here?"

"Your Highness, King Yan, I know you can't accept this fact at once, but because of this, you should face this matter more."

"Face this matter?"

The King of Yan smelled a trace of murderous aura from Yao Guangxiao's tone. This was why Yao Guangxiao had a murderous thought about Zhu Yunwen, a genius. Of course, the King of Yan was very happy because he thought of a bold plan, a plan that could completely kill Zhu Yunwen, the genius.

"Military advisor, if I ask you to kill Zhu Yunwen, how confident are you to succeed?"

"At most, 60%."

"Then add the twelve ghost evil spirits."

"At least 90% sure."

Of course, Yao Guangxiao knew that these twelve ghost evil spirits were one of the most powerful trump cards of King Yan. It can be said that King Yan would not take it out unless he did. However, this time, he actually used these twelve top experts to deal with Zhu Yunwen. It seemed that King Yan had really moved.

"Your Highness King Yan, when are you going to do it?"

"Of course, the faster this is, the better. I will never allow Zhu Yunwen to return to the capital alive."

At this time, the biggest drought in history occurred in Luocheng, which made Prince Zhu Yunwen very busy. He personally took the officers and soldiers to find water sources, and also taught how to divert and irrigate step by step. With his efforts, the disaster was finally controlled.

"This time the disaster was half natural disaster and half man-made..."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"You went to the river to patrol. Didn't you find any abnormalities in the upstream area?"

When His Royal Highness said this, everyone quickly remembered this incident. It turned out that the upper reaches were prosperous areas where the rich lived, and most of the rivers there were led away by the rich through large and small channels, which eventually led to drought.

"So that's how it is..."

"The channels created by these rich people can not only cause drought, but also cause floods. Think about what will those rich people do during the flood season? They will definitely pour the excess water from the channels back into the river, which will eventually cause floods."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told the incisive mistakes in Luocheng's water conservancy. It can be said that if it is not rectified as soon as possible, it will not only cause suffering to the common people, but also waste the national treasury. Of course, this solution is available. As long as a water storage canal is built on the edge of this river, and water storage is released during the flood season and the dry season will be released, the problem will naturally be solved.

"The money for the canal construction is to use the treasure left by the King of Xiang. If it is not enough, just ask the rich people for it..."

"Your Highness, what if the rich people don't cooperate?"

"That's even simpler. If you don't cooperate, just search the house directly. I don't believe that I can't cure them."

The domineering statement of His Royal Highness impressed everyone. It was because of his method that the drought was completely solved and the old problems that plagued Luocheng for many years. Zhu Yunwen was very popular with the people. He was particularly popular with the matter of controlling water. Finally, it was spread to the capital and into Zhu Yuanzhang's ears. Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that his precious grandson could even control water. It seemed that it was the most correct thing to entrust the Ming Dynasty to him. Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't been so happy for a long time. Even some of the wind and cold had improved greatly because of this matter, and he was cured without medicine.

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Hahaha! I really didn't expect Yunwen to be able to control water..."

"This is a blessing for our Ming Dynasty!"

"This is because the emperor has taught me..."

"Liu Sanwu, I didn't expect you to flatter you too..."

"Your Majesty, you have wronged the old minister. What the old minister said is the truth."

Liu Sanwu's unjust accusation made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh even more, but what made him even happier was Zhu Yunwen's achievements. Zhu Yunwen did not disappoint his high hopes at all. Although he had not returned to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was already eager to ask for credit for him and praised Zhu Yunwen repeatedly in front of the ministers at the court meeting. However, he did not expect that this would deepen the hatred of the vassal kings towards Zhu Yunwen, and finally left him a big hidden danger.
